TO accommodate city or some lmpor-
tant place of business, but we have no
villages in this county of sufficient impor-
lance to expect that with our ieeo'e
means for building any road, that the
road would be permitted to deviate nan
mile from its proper line or an extra
expense of $4,000, incurred for their
scpecial accommodation.
Certain gentlemen it seems have tho |
otherwise and supposed that by manage
ment and buster they would effect their
purpose and are grieved and angry that
they cannot. But this idea that they
would carry so important and expensive
road, out of its proper and direct course
TO advance their individual interests, or
build up their little villages, is founded
not on the words of the charter, nor on
the action of the corporation, but on their
own contracted selfshness and unbound
ed self conceit. ORLEANS.

buttons were literally made in the North
to help the people of Kansas against the
outrages of the border ruffians, yet aid is
no less needed to help them against the

a sectional President. Shall not the

do something in this matter worthy of

money as can possibly be spared, be Sent

to better advantage. But there is no en-
enlargement here at present, for mere

for the people to pay for their land, much
less to pay for labor, even though, they

Terrible times in Glover.

A FowT"-THREE OR FOUR PER-
SONS SLIGHTLY KILLED.-A terrible at
fray took place in Glover village on Sat
urday evening last, in which several per-
sons of both genders were considerably
mixed up. 1t appears that ayoung gen
tleman named Brooks, had gallanted four
young ladies to an exhibition, and on his
return was invited into their room, which
they had hired at the house of Moses
Goodwin, during the term Of
school. The owner of the house, not IL
king it, went into the room with nothing
on but his shirt and drawers and ordered
him out. Brooks told him that if he
would let him alone he would 60 out him
self, but that if he intended to use force,
he should not go till he got ready. Good
win then went into his kitchen and re-
turned with the fire shovel and raising it
over his head with an Doth ordered him
to leave the house. Brooks took it from
him, when both clinched, and then came
the tug of war;" Goodwin's shirt was
torn to tatters, and being rather hard
err pressed for wind than was agreeable,
he yelled murder, which brought the
Inaiohhors tn the rpsruP When they
went to the room, Brooks sat holding
Goodwin IN his lap, who appeared to
have quite comfortable time of it
Brooks was taken up and had his trial
on Tuesday last, which resulted in the
jury disagreeing-one for conviction, and
five for acquittal. The second trial wa:
to be had Yesterday.

Improved Clothes Rack.

We have seen a specimen of Stones
Improved Clothes Rack" and from a
careful inspection of it we are convinced
that it is the best thing of the kind ex-
tant. Ii is an invention of much value
to the community as it is adapted to the
wants Of every family-when extended
it is capable of suspeuding quite large
" washing" and it can be folded so as to
occupy little more space than the broom.
The price is within every mans means
and no kind husband will deprive his
family of its advantages in view of its
trivial cost.
We understand that Mr.. Charles
Brockway, has purchased the right for
Irasburgh and has made arrangements
for the immed late manufacture of num-
Der of the racks.

Horrors ofthe Middle Passage"

A correspondent of the New York
Journal Of Commerce, writing on board
the Z. s. frigate Powhattan at St. Hell
ena, Feb. /, gives an interesting account
of visit to n slave vessel which had been
captured by British cruisers and taken to
st. Helena. The SLAYER was brigan-
tine, built about four years ago at New
London, Conn, and admirably construct
ed for speed. She measured about 22O
tons, and her slave deck was only four
md half feet high, yet no less than six
hundred and fifty Africans had been
crowded into this small vessel. The ut
most compression compatible with life
was resorted TO, and had not large por-
ton been mere children, they could not
have been slowed away. The writer
says the following method was employed
to economist space:
"Tho Africans were placed in rows
face to face, lengthwise of the deck, and
each one running one leg between the
legs of the one sitting opposite. Another
row was placed back to back against the
exterior row first seated, and thus the
whole deck was almost Il solid mass OF
living human flesh. To keep them still
and powerless, and prevent instruction,
ring was put on one ANGLE, to which an
iron bar was attached which reached up
to the body, and to which the monacles
were fastened which were put on their
wrists. Thus situated, row facing row,
and legs interlaced with legs, a long iron
bar ran along over the line Of ANGLES, to
which the irons were attached, which fas-
tened the feet. Thus nearly all motion
of the body and exercise of the limbs was
impossible, men in the stocks having as
much liberty as they had, with all the
advantages of light and air. Even for a
day, such position would be painful and
almost intolerable; what then passage
from continent to continent over the
broad Atlantic, amidst storms and Gains,
and sufocation, and occupying often sixty
days and more!
Occasionally the slaves are taken on
deck in gangs, where they may breathe
the pure air short time, and where they
are washed by having buckets of salt
water thrown upon them, their letters
and manacles yet remaining on them,
and the salt water washing the sores and
raw flesh which their sitting position on
the hard planks, their pressing against
each other, together with the CALLING
irons, have made. Both men and wo-
men are either utterly naked, or else
lave hardly the equal of fig leaf apron
for their protection. The stencil and
filth are necessarily horrible and indies.
crihahle, which stable or stYe can hard
" exceed, and seldom equal 1t is no
strange that frighiful mortality soor
broke out, which ended the woes of many
and would have done of all, but for til,
rrOyidential capture"

A DREAM.
BY PEARL FISHER.

FEAhL ibhkhs
IA strange and beautiful thing this, which we
a country paper, credited to the Journal OF 70
sroe.l
One night while gently sleeping,
An angel-band was keeping
A watch DER me;
A vision brightly beaming
In heavenly light.
A spirits voice was whispering,
While 1, entrsced, lay s'ning,
Sweet words Of love,
Like sottest music pealing
Ger tranquil waters, stealing
Upon the wind.
Then came the bright one how ring
My couch 80 gently cov'ring
With angel wings,
heard her sweetly telling
The angels round my dwelling,
I'LL guard his sleep"
"SIeep on thy peaceful slumb'r ring.
While |, the hours numb'ring,
Will hover near;
And when the morning breaking,
Reveals thy happy waking,
I'll tell thy dream"
The morning light came streaming
Over the sleeper, dreaming
Of one in Heaven
The bright one DER him wiuging,
The folds of slumber tiinging,
Whispered. -"Awake.'
The dreamer's lips then pressing,
She murmured forth blessing,
And he awoke,
He spske happy greetiug,-
TO which the vision fiseting,
Smiled-snd was gone.
But still, the dream revealing
Her voice the promise sealing
Although unsesn-
'Tis thus, each peaceful morning.
This star of Heavens sdorning,
Tells me dream.
