OVER THE WAY.

There is cottage just over the way
 Where, whenever my eyes am raising, They will always unconsciously stray,
 And never grow weary of gazing. Such gentleness, sweetness and grace,
 Was never yet equalled. I'm certain, As shines in the beautiful face
 Revealed by that wind-lifted curtain! Oh! a sea-nymph might safely be proud
 Of the tresses that forehead adornine- With hue like golden-tinged cloud
 Just seen in the dim of the morning. Oh, that voice by seraph was given,
 And that laugh has a musical tinkle, And those eyes have the color of heaven
 When the stars are beginning to twinkle! And then such gem of nose,
 All likeness and rivalry scorning, And the lips like the heart of a rose
 Blown apart by the first breath of morning! Oh, that cottage just over the street!
 How can do other than love it? For its inmate so lovely and sweet
 Twere no sin for an angel to covet! Such beauty it dazzles the eye
 Oh, it's owner is fairer than Venus But alas, confess with sigh,
 There's more than that curtain between us For memory comes with start
 An. too long has it's power been parried-- For like ice to my love smitten heart
 Comes the dread recolection--sh married

For the Ltchfeld Enquirer. A SUMMER IN LITCHFIELD co.


 Dear B. We have been passing some weeks on farm among the Litehfeld hills. Does not this bring up before your minds eye, a quiet nook, peace and content, and happy industry sunny meadows and orch ards, dotted Lere and there with moss-grown rocks patient COWS going to and fro, pien- ty of cream, fresh cheese and butter. They have all these and something more on this farm, comfortable mansion, with shady trees and lawn, and before us lovely little lake named Waramaug from an Indian chier. The approach to the house from New Pres ton, is on the east border of the lake, the road winding through the woods at the foot of a hill there cannot be a more charming drive.
 After year on the Western prairies, weared with their sameness, miles on miles, without a tree, or hill, or even rock, we were prepared to enjoy the mountains and slopine hill-sides. aud this little lake nestled in among them. s...-s.-.. .......
 It is d wonder to me that Mr. H. has been so long alone here, that these banks are not adorned with rustic cottages, built by toil-worn citizens for do not know a l SDOt Wnefc SO uUuCu 10 SOliloiIiCO u ICuuCt it summer in the country pleasant and desra- ble-delightfnl drives, pure bracing air, sev- eral kinds of fruit easily raiscd, and tine fish in the lake.

The exact manner of Walkers taking of is thus given by an apparently well-informed cor respondent:
 He marched from his cell to the place ofex- ecution with steady step and unshaken mien A chair had been placed for him with its back toward the Castle. Having taken his seat, he was bndfolded Three soldiers stepped for- ward to within twenty feet of him, and discharg- ed their muskets. The balls entered hls body, and he leaned little forward but, it being ob. served he was not dead, fourth soldier merci- fully advanced so close to the suffering man that the muzzle of the musket almost touched his forehead, and being there discharged. scattered his brains and skull to the winds. Thus ended the life of the gray-eyed man of destiny"

DROWNED WHILE SKArING.-James En-
twistle, nine years old, son of Mr. William
Entwistle, was crowned while skating on
Whttenton pond at about four O'Clock Tues
day afternoon, in consequence of venturing
too far upon the the thin ice over the channel
a party of about twenty five young men and
boys were in company with him, and immed
ate efforts were made for his rescue Unhap.
ply, however, not even the imminent peril of
other lives were sufficient to save him, and he
at length sunk TO rise no more. Michael Hove
a young man of about twenty years, son of
Mr.. John Hoye, deserves TO receive some snb-
stantial testimonial tor his sef-sacriicing la
bors to rescue the drowning boy. The body of
the drowned boy had not been recovered up
to an early hour Tuesday afternoon, though
active efforts have been made, by dragging the
channel, cutting out the ice, and draining the
pond for the purpose.

OF it, and in this case the inquirer expressed
himself entirely satisfied after the explanation
Yet there had been much anxiety about the
matter by certain persons who had never con-
tributed to the fund, and who protested to
fear that some of it might have gone toward
carrying on the late presidential campaign.
But all such suspicious or coniectures he
had looked upon as too ridiculous TO be
noticed. The character of the genie.
men who composed the committee was a
guarantee of the proper disposition of the
fund. Therefore he had waited till now
for proper time to make this statement.
Mr. Hoar offered the following resolution,
which was unanimously adopted by the meet
ing
Resolved, That we hereby express our
thanks to the committee for the relief of Kan
sas, and our entire satisfaction with their pru-
dent and faithful management of the fund
committed to their care.
Rev Mr.. Richardson spoke in favor of &c.

The state of Rhode Island has ON its statute
books a bill for the protection of personal
liberty. The bill is one of the mlldest and
most inoffensive character, and could never
afford just provocation for complaint We
learn, however, from the Providence Press,
that Gov. Sprague has made great haste to
assure his conservative friends in Philadelphia
that the Legislature of his state, this winter,
will without hesitation repeal it, "the better to
testify their love for the Union, and the firmer
to exact allegiance to it from all others" 1t
is, of course, uncertain what changes will be
made in state laws the coming winter; but
we believe none will be made without cause.
The republican party, which is the only
UnionSparty in the country, has very much to
ask, but nothing which it can honestly give
for the sake Of its integrity. The Chicago
platform demands nothing above the consiitu-
ton, and the constitutional election of our
candidates will not be deemed sufficient cause
for general revolution of our statutes.
