Mysterious Disappearance.

About the LIST of June, man by the
name of TINKER, pattern-maker by trade
and from Virginia, as he said, came te
Pleasant Valley, in this county, with =
good team of horses, (said to be worth
$4oo,) load Of household goods and tools
of his trade, and rented house for {
dweillng-siayed few days and left hi
team to 60 to Chicago on business, as he
SAID, of Importance, and 10 return in two
weeks, with his wife and son, whom he rep
resented As then ON a sisit at BcIvidere.
Since that time nothing has been heard
from him. He seemed to have with him
plenty Of money, and told Mr.. SAMUEL
PENeLARE, in whose charge he left his
goods, that most of hisssgoods were coming
to Dunleilh 10y Railroad. His goods came
to Duneith, but no trace can be got Of
Mr.. TINKER Fears are entertained that
he has been foully dealt by.

NoTE.-We are charged with having
refused to publish rejoinder of Mr.. Frank
Barr to Mr.. S. E. Lewis late note. The
charge is untrue. In the form presented
to us 10y third party, we objected, unless
Mr.. Barr made the request of publication
in person, because i. contained a severe
blow at us. We did not think he hac
any right to mix Us up in the quarrel be-
tween Lewis and himself, but we offered
to publish the whole, conditioned that
Barr would ask it in person. Our reason
for the request was this: we wished tc
write in his presence and let him know
what our reply would be to the part relat-
ing to us. We deemed this manly and
due on our part and for his benefit, fol-
we make it IA rule to never DO dishonor.
able or mean thing. We expressed to :
mutual friend our willingness and desire to
publish Bars rejoinder, and who saw
Barr about ii. Any alleged colGness be-
tween Barr and ourself need be no obsta-
Gle as we promised to treat him gentle
manly. We are not to be shuffled in
10 any censurable position by any trick Of
Mr.. Barr or any of his coadjutors. The
charge is false that We refused to publish
his card to Lewis.

The MvLETEER.-' How carols now the lusty
muleteer, said Chlde Harold, but Harold mule
teer didn't travel the snow mountains of Caifor-
mia, or he would have occasionally stopped sing
ing TO thrash" his benumbed fingers, or DIG his
mule from drift. There are times when our
northern mule drivers display horosm and endu.
rance deserving of celebrity, even in a poem great
as that from which we have borrowed a line
None but mountaineers may relate the perils Of
a snow storm on the " divides which separate
busy settlements; yet in the little distance of ten
or fifteen miles between, there may be danger and
death. Some of the trails to populous places
traverse mountains where snow falls ten, fifteen
or twenty feet in depth. Then the wind piles up
huge drifts Of incredible magnitude, then the air
current changing they are again torn down and
whirled away to some other place, until few
hours sunshine and subsequent frost harden the
snow surface, leaving the trail in many places to
be sought up among the boughs Of trees. OF
course the traveller cannot pass the fury of such
storm, but for several months in the year he
may encounter lesser ones, which, without a p-
lot, would be quite as certain death. The trail is
soon obscured, tree marks are hidden, and if the
traveller should make the wrong descent to the
canon on either side, the chances are that he will
not have strength to get back. Occasionally we
read Of some one losing his way and freezing to
death, but few realize how frigbiful is death in
mountain storm, where the lost one slowly per
isbes almost in sight Of salvation.
But there are snow pilots who guide travellers
over these solitary ways. Many are their heroic
and good Samaritan deeds equaling theman-huu-
ters of St. Bernard, yet uncclehrated. A while
ago young Gilroy, who drives saddle train
across Scott's mountain, passed man on foot la.
boring through the snow whom he admonshed
Of danger and bosought to throw away his ban-
kets and travel for his life. But the man refus
ed, and as the animals were already fanting he
was left. When they reached the next station il
was dark and showing. Glroy proposed return
ing for the lost man, bnt no one had strength to
accompany him. He returned alone, and found
the traveller speechless, and apparently insane ;
he had unrollcd bis blankets and spread them in
separate places on the snow. With great Difficult
ty he was dragged within hearing Of the house
where the cries of his rescuer brought assistance
and from which place he was carried in and
warmed to life. In the morning he departed with
scarce an acknowledgment of gratitude

The Light at HI o me

The light at home how bright it beams
When evening shades around us fall,
And from the lattice far it CLEANS,
To love and rest and comfort all.
When wearied with the tolls of lav,
And strife for glory, gold or fame,
How sweet to seek the quiet way,
Where loving lips will lisp our name,
Around the light at home.
When through the dark and stormy night,
The wayward wanderer homeward hles,
How cheering is that twinkling light,
which through the forest gloom he spies
1t is the light at home, lie feels
That loving hearts will greet him there,
And safely through his bosom steals
The JOY and love that Danish care
Around the light at home.
Tho light at home whene er at last
1t grects the seaman through the storm,
He feels no more the chilling blast
That heats upon his manly form
Long years upon the sea have fed,
Since Mary gave her parting kiss
But the sad tears which she then she'd,
win now be paid with ropturous bliss
Around the light at home.
The light at home how still and sweet
II peeps from yonder cottage door
The weary laborer to greet
When the rough tolls of day are o'er
Sad is the soul that does not know
The blessings thatthcse beams impart,
The cheerful hopes and joys that flow.
And light up in the heaviest heart
Around the light at home.

of ability will not work there for the starving

be induced to contribute columns for free pass
