ANOTHER BOXER AND DEAN All

ANOTHER BOXER AND DEAN AFFAIR.
The GAINESVILLE (Wis) Standard has the
particulars of a matrimonial affair that
occurred near GAINESVILLE last week, which
very much resembles the celebrated Boxer
and Dean marriage in New York. Here
is the Standards story:
A young lady, highly accomplished, of
superior education, and beautiful withal,
the daughter of a director of the Suffolk
Bank OF Boston, has been spendinga iow
months with some of her friends at En-
eraid Grove. In the employ of the
gentleman with whom she was sojourning,
Was IA native of the Emerald Isle; IA man.
iof ausht we know, Of good reputation
but possessing none of the refnements of
the coacEman OF the Boxer family Of New
York city The acquaintance between
the man and the Boston belle soon r;nnn-
ed into intimacy, aud an elopenent was
the consequence. Taking tho foot line
to Shoplere, the twain, procuring the SER
vices Of an officer, were soon made .tlc,h
of one flesh and are now, we learn, en-
joying love in cottage,

''fis but word, easeLrss word,
In pride and passion spoken;
Eut with that word he chain that boun
Two loving hearts was broken.
The hasty wrath has passed away;
The bitter words remain
In vain the lady weeps and sighsi
He will not woo again.
No other love may light her path,
No other move his heart:
Yet changing seasons come and 60,
And find them still apart.
Her once bright cheek is paiel now
Ills bears trace OF pain;
Their eyes are sorrowtul, and yet
lie Will not WOO again.
They meet as strangers, calm and cold
AS calmly, coldIy part;
And none Ray guess that tranquil mien
Conceals & tortured heart.
70 bin the world hath lost its light;
For her all joys are vain;
Nor hope nor memory brings relief,
lie will not WOO again.
Alas, that love, long tried and warm,
Should wither in an he cur!
Alas, that pride DER human hearts,
Should WELD such fearful power!
Oh weep thou not for those who die
For them all teals are vain;
But weep DER living hearts grown cold,
Who meier may love again.

R. w. FURNAs:
1t IS almost as common to hear the fol-
lowing inquiry, Have you any late news?'
as to hear the welfare of your family or
friends %enquired after. At present we
are notfavored with any particular excite
ment, yet perhaps a few lines from our
place will be acceptable. The winter has
been so pleasant, and amid all the hard
times, improvements have still gone on
rapidly. Never has there been so much
done IN one winter in southern Ne
braska. People are making extensive
preparations for breaking and fencing
and preparing largely for crops the next
season.
This is certainly a great country, asthe
settlement extends, it only seems to open
up new beauties. Falls City, you will
recolIect, is only nine miles from the Mis-.
souri,, IN the great Nemaha river; only
eight months old; in the midst Of excel.
lent water power, and surrounded by the
best prairie In Nebraska. Timber, of the
best quality, in large quantities along on
streams and branches, also ~stonecoal and
limestone in abundance, only a short dis.
lance from our town.
An act was passed at the last Legisla-
ture granting the privilege of turning the
Nemaha, or so much as is necessary, fol
the use of machinery, within our corpora.
ton. By cutting an artificial channel a
distance of three miles, we can procure
a fall of thirty feet, at a very little ex-
pense. The falls Of this river attracted
the attention of travellers at an early date,
as being a desirable locality. MI. ID.
Vanderslice our Indian agent was charm
ed with this delightful water power more
than fifteen years ago, and undoubtedly
would have improved the land had he moi
been in the employment of Government.
Any of your friends wishing to locate in
this section, will do well to call and ex-
anime for themselves before locating else
where, and particularly those wishing to
engage in milling or other machinery.
We have a steam saw-min in full opera

The Army Bin Defeated.

The Army bill, we learn, was defeat
ed in the Senate by a vote of 35 to 10.
Here are the Yeas and Nays:
YEAs-Messrs. Bel, Briggs, Frederick,
Cameron, Crittenden, Douglas, Green,
Gwin, Houston, johnson, Of Tennessee,
Mallory, Pugh, Seward, Stuart, Thompson
of Kentucky, and Toombs-l6.
NAYs-Messrs. Allen, Bayard, Benia-
min, Bigler, Brown, Chandler, Clark,
Clay, Dixon, Doolittle, Durkee, Evans,
Fessenden, Fitch, Foot, Foster, Hale,
Hamlin, Hammond, Harlan, Hunter, Iver-
son, Johnson of Arkansas, King, Polk,
Pearce, Sebastian, Simmons, Sliddell,
Sumner, Thompson Of New Jersey,
Trumbull, Wilson, Wright, and Yulee
-5.
This Bill was for an increase of the
standing army of five regiments. We
know not the exact form In which the bill
went to a vote, nor the particular motives
which governed Senators in voting. But
we are firmly of the opinion that an
increase of the standing army is not call
ed for. We can but think that the proper
policy Of government should be to have as
small standing army as circumstances will
possibly admit of, relying inease Of emer-
gency on volunteer forces ng h-17 I'D

who argue that Col. johnson does not re-
quire increased force in settling Mormon

ity over regulars. The following extract
from remarks of Senator Toombs, is, we
may safely say, strong and truthful i nref-
erence to all standing armies, our own not
excepted:
Talk to me about the officers of the
army being friends Of liberty and shoot
ing down oppressors! Go and unlearn
their history for twenty centuries. The
Army is no more open to American sol
diers than is the French, even to officers.
There you can take the son Of a beggar
or of a duke, send him TO the military
