TNHE MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE CON-
4 PANY OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
offers to the Property Owners of the District the
cheapest and as safe means of Insurance against
Loss BY Fire, as any other Company, as will sp-
dear by an examination of its principles.
The fact that all Of the Insurance Companies
Of the District are declaring large dividends to
their stockholders, at once shows the great
profit on their premiums, and the consequent
saving to persons insuring with this Company.

PRETTY MARY WOOD.

PRETTY MARY WOOD.
It was down in vale, by n calm flowing
river,
Surrounded with flowers, sweet cottage
stood,
Twas the home Of the orphans, q sister
and brother.
Here was the lone hcms Of pretty Mary
/. Wood
The bloom had lsft her cheek, tho shs
bteathed the morning cir,
Tho smile he'd left her LIP, now she TITLED
for dress end food.
She sought for bright flowers, for flowers
rich and fsir.
There we're tears a. the lone home Of
pretty Mary Wood.
a. home she wove The garland, which
w,eatbed fair besuty's brow,
with taste she made the boquet. ss various
ss she could,
She hed loved The festive scene, but the
time was not now,
For there was yet sorrow 1T The hons Of
Mary Wood.
In the dsys thst are past, she had lived In
great splendor,
Had been wooed and been won, by ons
she thought was good,
Eu, ne only thought Of wealth, with mis-
fortune no left her,
And thus caused deep anguish at the home
Of Mary Wood.
There is peace now and plenty, where once
was only labor.
When they tpss with the dawn, 70 procurs

A friend, nov loved one, who long had
wished 20 win her,
Makes happy tbe lone home Of pretty

Post Office RObbery..-The Iowa
CITY Post Master Gone.

From E. Y. Lane, ESQ.,, we learned last
evening that Sam. Workman, Post Master
at Iowa City, has thrown up his situation,
and retained some ten thousand dollars of
government money. The Office wa. closed
yesterday and taken charge by l.. W. Alex
ander, P. o. Agent. The clerks were all
discharged. Mr.. Workman has been absent
from Iowa City some months. Some said
he was down South, specializing in hay, but
nobody pretended to know just where he
was, from the fact, We think, nobody knew.
Mr.. Workman was appointed to that office
one year ago last Spring. To get him the
place, one of the beet men in johnson county,
DR.. Vogt, was turned out. Sam. Workman
Was not at the time considered Democrat,
by those who best knew him, and his being
placed in the Post Office was considered an
outrage; it was accomp lished in secret, and
through Senator Bgler's personal inffuence.
We fear his sureties, whoever they may be,
will have to sweat.-Dau. Dsm., 22d.
Workman built his hay boats at this place
and owe tome $500 for the lumber, which,
We understand, is secured by some substan,
tial endorsers at Iowa City. He also con-
tracted some other debts OF less magnitude.
lie was always considered slippery fellow;
but of such are Mr.. Buchanan's favorites.

~ Hon. Edward Archibold, who for 20
years has been leader of the Democratic
party in Ohio, now enters the field for Lin
coin and Hamlin. Addressing large meet
ing in Woodsfeld, he defined his position.
The local paper says:
"Mr. Archibold reviewed the whole his.
tory Of Congressional legislation on slavery
in the Territories, from the time of the
formation of the Government down to the
present time. He gave the bred Scott case
a searching review, and exposed its hideous-
ness 10 convincing and manly manner.
Upon this branch Of the argument he was
particularly happy in his illustrations, as
was abundantly testified by the thunders OF
applause which greeted his triumphant
vindication of the people against the
Supreme Court. For nearly four hours did
he keep the crowded court house unclaimed
by his logic and eloquence, while he held up
the tergiversations Of the Democra tic party
and showed its promises of non-intervention
its promises to give sfair play to freedom
and free labor - to be the most shameless
fraud and trickery."

A private letter from Wisconsin, from one
who has made extensive observations and
enquiries, assures Us that the new wheat
crop of that State threshed out even better
than the estimates, and that the crop of the
State will not fall one kernel short of
100000 bushels. We believe the largest
crop ever before harvested in the State was
not half so large as that OF 1860, which is
now nearly secured in excellent condition.

GT The following good hit is from a
speech of Hon. F. P. Blair, Jr. Speaking Of
Mr.. Lincoln, he says:
"He is called rail splitter. Well, my
friends, he has commenced splitting rails
again, and he is making the Democratic party
into nice stick of them. He has got them
split in half now, and if there Is any rail
timber in that party, you will find that "Old
Abe will have enough rails out of it to fence
in the whole country. Laughter and ap-
plause.] The fact is that Mr.. Douglas is not
a very good specimen OF rail timber out in
the West he is rather stumpy, rather short.
[Laughter.] But, my friends, l think "Old
Abe'' will split him up into slaves to make
barrels of. 'Good, good" and terrific ap-
plause.] We are bound to put him to some
use, ii any use is to be had tut of him. and
they say that he holds whisky amazingly
WE'LL" Great laughter.
