The FIFE MAJoR.-We are graft
fled to announce TO our citizens that ar
rangemcnts have been made whereby the
Great American Fife Major, w. F. ROB-
ISsoS, will discourse the sweetest Of mu-
sic TO US, Mt the Court House, tomorrow
evening. He is undoubtedly the best fif
or in the United States, if not tie best in
the world. We append the following ex-
tract from the Grand Rapids Eagle, of a
late issue, expressing but the sentiment of
every one who has listened to his Won
derful musical performances:
eve heard Major ROBINSON perform on his
fife this morning, and were astonished that such
music could be discoursed from that instrument.
The wide fame he has acquired as fifer has
been nobly earned-upon the field Of battle, and
is well sustained by all his private and public
performances. He is without doubt the best if
or in America, playing nearly as well with one
hand as with both. At the battle of Palo Alto,
when the flag bearer was killed, the Major took
the staff in his left hand, and marched at the
head of the music, playing with his right hand
alone neither losing step or note, till relieved by
order of the commanding officer.
Gle accompanied the Milwaukee Light
Guard, on the recent excursion to the eastern
cities, and was presented by the company, when
at Newburgh, with an-clcgant fife, silver mount
cd and silver lined, on which occasion Mr.. Has
brouch made the following neat and appropri-
ate speee;:
Fife Major Robinson, your music has been
heard on the fields of Cerro Gordo, Chepultopec,
Reseca, de Ia Palma, and round the encrimson-
cd walls Of the City of the Montezumas, when
the star spangled banner hoatedin triumph above
its ancient walls; in all these scenes of our ma
tons glory, the inspiring notes of your fife have
thrilled the hearts and nerved the arms of our
soldiers. Charges of the greatest glory to our
history, have been made 10 the music of your
fife, which never quavered in note, as the rain
Of death and the flashing steel swept round
about you. And now ON this hallowed spot rife
like your history, with brilliant memories--in
the name of the Milwaukee Light Guard, pre-
sent you with a silver ffe:-no speech is needed
in response; give us only solo on the fife
which will make us feel something of the fires
of heroism you have stirred before"

DWHAT SHALL We CALL 1T?-Friend
CLUBB, of the Clarion, thinks Sanford,
or Cedarville, very appropriate name
for the new village rapidly rising on the
opposite side of the river to us. Either
of the names is appropriate enough, but
why not call it Ahuir-not Muiryille, or
Muirburgh, but simply Muir, rs compli-
mcnt to the very popular and efficient
superintendent of the D. q. M. Railway.
Name it thus and on short notice we are
ut the christening.

THE FIRST FRU1Ts.'-Harvesting is
being pursued with energy this week, and
if the weather continues favorable till
Saturday night, wheat and rye will be
generally housed. Wheat is remarkably
fine, generally, the head well filed with
very large and plump berry, unaffected
by nudge or other insects. We arc in
formed that LUTHER Il HINsDALE, of La
mont, last week engaged one hundred
bushels of new wheat, to be delivered at
their warehouse in that village, on Mon
day last, which they intend to flour inn
mediately for the accommodation of Gus

DOES CONSTANT AGITATION w DIRK A
PERMANENT COOP For some time
past, as is we'll known, we have had a
series of good old-fashioned temperance
meetings at the Court House, where agi-
tation and free discussion of the great
question, how shall we best promote the
tho prevalence of universal sobriety, and
effect q total humiliation of the liquor
traffic in our midst! have been interest
ing characteristics Of the meetings. Now
the question naturally arises, have these
agitations and discussions been productive
of any good results! We are happy to
have it in our power to say we candidly
believe they have. In our two princi-
pal hotels the paraphanalia Of intemper-
ance has been removed and with it tho
temptation to morbid appetite TO stake
something to drink" The keepers of our
saloons seem less anxious to make live
lihood disreputably; and it is a rare cir
cumstance that drunken unfortunate
passes our Office windows; and even on
the sfourth" when all creation is let
loose to such enjoyments and indulgen-
clos as each may choose measurably,
scarcely an intoxicated person was visible
in our streets-all evincing unmistaka-
bly,, that public sentiment is evidently
undergoing, and that rapidly, n great
change for the better. Let us then con-
tinuc to agitate and discuss, believing
thatthc most efficient and speedy meth
cd of bringing about the desired good.

An Unexpected Fortune.

Several years since, Jose Martinez, "the
son of poor but honest parents. left his ma
tive city. Buenos Ayers, and came to Bos-
ton to seek his fortune. Not finding the
article sought for. he bound himself an ap-
prentice to learn the art Of sailmaking, and
soon became good workman, making
friends at the same time of all with whom
he had acquaintance. Thus he worked
along cheerfully several years, earning
good living. A few weeks since he receiv-
ed letter from Buenos Ayres, informing
him that rich relative had bequeathed to
him money and estates worth two hundred
thousand dollars, and urging his immedi-
ate return. Prompt TO the call of duty

"OnlY Tight"


Only flushed. how weak he is! What is
the matter with him?
Only tight.
Only tight, mans best and greatest gift,
his intellect degraded; the only power that
raises him above the brute creation trodden
down under the foot of debasing appetite.
Only tight. The mother stands with a
pale face and tear -dimmed eye to see her on
ly sons disgrace, and in her fancy, pictures
the bitter woe of which this is the foreshad-
owing.
Only tight. The gentle sister whose
strongest love through life was given to her
handsome and talented brother, shrinks with
contempt and disgust from his embrace,
and brushes away the hot impure kiss he
prints upon her cheeks.
Only tight, and his young bride stops in
the glad dance she Is making to meet him,
and checks the welcome 10 her lips to gaze
liz terror on the reeling form and flushed
face of him who was the God of her idoIatry.
Only tight, and the fathers face grows
dark and sad as with bitter sigh he stoops
over the sleeping form of his first born.
He has brought sorrow to all these affec-
tionate hearts; be has opened the door to the
fatal indulgence; he has brought himself TO a
level with the brute; he has tasted, exciting
the appetite to crave to the poisonous
draught again; he has fallen from high and
noble manhood, to babbling idiocy. and
heavy stupor brought grief to his mother,
and distrust to his sister, almost dispair to
his bride, and bowed his frther's head with
sorrow, but blame him not for he is "only
tight"
