THAYRR's COLONY DOWN BELOW.
The business in this place has been very
good this summer past, but it is rapidly
increasing, and the prospect is that build
ing operations will be very extensive this
winter. We learn that two of the master
carpenters in town have sent East for
ljourneymcn to mid them in their contracts
for the winter. It is Il very agreeable con-
dition of affairs, though, some of the build
ing is too important to be delayed for want
of workmen.
THERE was horse race at Morganzo
last Saturday, in which large number of
horses and riders participated. There was
an abundance of sport, we suppose.
A large building for the manufacture of
glass ware has been commenced in this
place. We shall give the particulars next
week.
II. r. CONVENTIONAL friend suggests
that the people of Wayne and Cabell coun-
ties ought to hold a convention, to give
expression to the sentiment of the people
on the subject of the Covington and Ohio
Railroad. He also suggested Barboursville
as central point for holding such meet
ing.
BASS BALL.-There will be ball PLAYING
on Thursday, the oath inst. in Ceredo.-
All who are in favor of that athletic sport
arc invited to attend. Playing will com
mence Mt 10 o'clock.
A BEET NOT BEAr.-We are indebted to
Mr.. William Stewart for a mammoth blood
beet, weighing seven and half pounds
1t was raised on Mr.. Stewards farm, and is
a good specimen of what can be easily
raised here.
FIREs.-The forest fires were suddenly
put out, last Saturday night by the rain
and snow. The fire had been raging more
or less for q fortnight, and smoke had set
tied down in the valley quite thick. Sat-
urday the wind drove the fire more furi-
ously and dangerously into the settlements.
Fences were destroyed, corn6elds damaged,
and in some places the cabins of the farms
took FIRE. Near Trouts Hill, the fire ran
through the woods on three sides of the
village, aud the people were obliged to
turn out and fight fire. We learn that
good deal of property was destroyed in the
Sandy Valley, and some corn was lost in
the various localities. Providentially, the
change in the weather relieved all appre-
hension of danger and further loss.

of wooden nutmcgs, supposed to be an
agent of some Abolition Aid Society or
underground railroad, was arrested the
other day i'll the neighboring county of Pu-
lasGi, and dealt with in the most summary
manner by his captors; one of the most in
tiuentinl and worthy citizens of the coun-
ty acting as judge, jury, and cxecutioncr.
After ordering him to be hung by the neck,
he very coolly proceeded to execute the
sentence. Having hung him up until the
vital spark WAS nearly extinct, he cut him
down and gave him breathing SPELL
When sufficiently restored to undergo an
other swinging, he was again battered and
suspended for few moments, After hay
ing undergone this process five times, (once
each for old Brown, COppee, Cook. Stevens,
and Hazlett,) he, was kindly permitted to
rctracc his steps to n moro congenial cline,
but not until he had been fairly admOnish-
cd that if ever caught in Virginia again,
he would have to take the sixth and fatal
leap. 1t is said by those who witnessed
the whole proceeding, that when tho fol-
low got loose, he ran like quarter nag.
The treatment received by this scamp is
but an earnest of the manner in which the
people of Southwestern Virginia intend to
deal with all upon whom suspicion of tam
Perlng with negroes and peddIing treason
rests. Our people have no tolerance for
the treasonoble, thieving, murdcrous crew,
and if caught lurking about our fields or
negro quarters, we will have the execution
of old Brown and his confcderates repeat
eddy re-enacted.

These extracts will show something of
the character of the Poem. Its chief mer-
it is the extraordinary purity and simplici-
ty of its language. Perhaps no compost
tion of the same extent in the English
language, comprises more words of Anglo
Saxon origin, or fewer that are derived
from foreign sources. 1t is destined to
have large influence in the preservation

We cannot resist tho temptation of pre-
senting our readers with few choice cx-
tracts from Tcnnyson's now volume, The
Idyl' Of the King, lately published by
Ticknor L Fields, of Boston. The literary
world has been thrown into q perfect
J"rore over these last productions of the
Poet Laureate, and tho very best critics
have pronounced them not only the mag
mum opus of that author, but indeed, the
finest poems that have appeared for many
years. We would hazard the individual
opinion that they very far surpass any
thing that has yet proceeded FROM the
gifted pen of their author.
The devotion of Geraint for Enid is thus
expressed:
Gle compressed hor with sweet observances
Aud WOrHhip, never leaving her, and grow
PorSotful of his promise to tho King,
FOrgotful of tho falcon and the hunt,
,FOrgetful of thu tilt and tournament,
Rorgetful of his glory and his name,
FOrgetfu of his princcdOin aud his caresL
And this forgetfulnesS was hateful 10 hor."
BE hears through II easement, the voice
of Enid, who is singing,
sand rs the sweet voice of bird
by the lander in n lonely islO,
Moves him TO think what kind of bird It IL
That sings SO dOlicatCly clear AMI make
Conjecture of the plnnIAgc and the form;
80 the sweet voice Of Enid moved Geraint,
And made him like man aLrnIl at morn
When the first limpd note beloved Of man
Comes flying over many windy wave
To Britain, and in April suddenly
And ho suSpends his converse, with a frionI,
Or It may be, tho labor of his hands
So Jared it with Geraint."
There is a placid beauty in this which is
unsurpassed:
"And Enid listOucd, Frightening as sho lay;
Then a. the white and glitterinX star of morn
Parts from a bank Of snow, and by and by
Slips into golden cloud, the nHiden ro5e,
And left her maiden couch, and ROBBED herself"
