Mas LINcoLN.-7He Future Lady of
the White House.-A correspondent of
the New York World, writing from
Springfield en- the home of Mr.. Lin
coin, says:
1.-The future lady of the White House
is, perforce, parsonage TO whom just
now the liveliest interest attaches. That
she will adorn and grace even the exalt-
ed position TO which she bids fair to sue
coed, none who have had the fortune to
see her can doubt. She is vet apparent
ly upon the advantageous side of forty
with a face upon which dignity and
sweetness are blended. and an air of cul-
tivation and refinement to which famili-
arity with the courtly drawing rooms of
London, or the aristocratic salons Of Par
is, would hardly lend an added grace.
She is admirably calculated to preside
over our Republican court. If one were
permitted so far to describe her personal
appearance as to meet halfway the re-
spectful curiosity which is generally felt
upon the subject, the description would
be, that she is slightly above the medium
stature. with brown eyes, clearly cut fea-
lures. delicate, mobile, expressive; rath-
er distinguished in appearance than beau
tiful, conveying to the mind generally an
expression Of stateliness and elegance. l
distrust my own opinion upon subjects
of the kind, but concur in the belief
prevalent hereabouts that she will make
as admirable leader of the stately DANES
and lovely demoselles Of the national
capital, as the most faslidious social mar
tinet could desire.

y Q oetrp.
From the N. Y. Ledger.
ITALY.
By WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

ITALY.
By WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
Voices from the mountain speak.
Apennines to Alps reply:
Vale to vale, and peak to peak
Toss an old remembered cry:
Italy
Shall be free;
Such the mighty shout that fills
All the passes Of her hills
All the old Italian lakes
Culver at that quickening word;
Como with thrill awakes
Garda to her depths is stirred;
Mid the sleeps
Where he sleeps
Dreaming of the elder years,
Startled Thrasymenus hears.
Sweeping Arno, swelling Pc,
Nurmur freedom to their meads,
Tiber swift and Liris slow
Send strange whispers to their reeds
Italy
Shall be free,
Sing the glittering brooks that slide
Towards the sea, from Etna s side.
Long ago was Gracious slain;
Brutus persisted long ago;
Whence the shoots of greatness grow.
Yet again,
God-like men,
Sprung from that heroic stem,
Call the land to rise with them.
They who haunt the swarming street,
They who chase the mountain boar,
Or, where cliff and billow meet,
Prune the vine or pull the oar,
With a stroke
Break their yoke;
Slaves but yester eve vert they
Freemen with the dawning day.
Looking in his children's eyes,
While his own with gladness fash,
"Ne'er shall these" the father cries
Cringe, like hounds, beneath the lash
These shall ne'er
Brook to wear
Chains that, thick with sordid rust.
Weigh the spirit to the dust"
Monarchs, yet whose armies stand
Harnessed for the battle field!
Pause, and from the little hand
Drop the bolts of war ye yield
Stand aloof
While the proof
OF the peoples might is given
Leave their kings to them and heaven.
Stand aloof, and see the oppressed
Chase the oppressor, pale with fear,
AS the fresh winds of the west
Blow the misty valleys clear.
Stand and see
Italy
Cast the gives she wears no more
To the gulfs that steep her shore.

DreadraI calamity.

On Thursday last, about s o'clock A
NJ, while some thirty or forty laborers
mostly Irish, were engaged in the pro
cess of razing the St. Xavier Church, il
Cincinnati, preparatory to the erection
of new and more commodious one, al
appalling catastrophe occurred, which
resulted fatally to thirteen of the work.

were at work on one of the northern
walls, arranging to tumble it down; but
of sudden it tottered, and without a
moments warning to the unfortunate
workmen it fell inwardly, burying all OF
the thirteen beneath the ruins.
The scene of disinterring is said to
have been heart-sickening, as fathers,
mothers, wives, sisters and brothers of
those known to be employed at the
Church, focked to the ground, and by
their piteous wailings, mingled cries and
prayers, frantic CALCULATIONS, and, in
some cases, the most terrible suspense,
all formed pageant of sorrow and des-
olation seldom ever witnessed
Ali of the sufferers except one had
families dependent upon their daily labor
for sustenance.

New Salt works.

We are authoritatively informed that
new Salt Works will be erected at the
Coal mines of s. W. Pomeroy, at, the
upper end of town, as soon as the requi
site stock is taken.
IF capitalists abroad were aware of the
good investment thus offered, the stock
would certainly be taken up very soon
and we presume it will not be long, al
any rate, till it is all taken. We do not
know the exact quotation of the Salt
stock of this region, but an investment
that yields the yearly dividends it does
cannot fail to find purchasers.
Apply to G. Grant, at the Office of the
"sugar Run Salt Co., who is Agent of the
"Dana Salt Company" and invest your
spare funds in Salt stock.

state Fugitive Slave Law.

It is curious fact, not generally
known, that New Jersey has fugitive
slave law of her own, enacted in 1898
and enacted with notifications in 1884
and 1916. The STAKEHOLDER or his agent
can apply to Common Pleas Judge,
and the arrest will be made by the
Sheriff, and the question of property de-
cided by three judges. This law is in
accordance with that Interpretation OF
the Federal Constitution which makes
the restoration of fugitive slaves the duty
ofthe State. New Jersey has also law
authorizing a STAKEHOLDER to take his
slaves through the State, and to make a
temporary residence with them.
