The two indictments against Gov. Floyd in the
Court here we're dismissed a. untenable. The
first was for conspiracy to defraud the Gov
eminent. The District Attorney stated in open
Court that there was no evidence to sustain the
charge. and, with the leave of the Court, he
would enter a MOLE proseqsi. y
The I'd was for malfeasance in Office, In issu-
ing acceptances The act Of 1857 prohibits
prosecution where the party indicted has testi-
fed before committee of Congress touching
the matter charged. This has been judicially
decided to be not the privilege Of witness, but
mandate of law, and the case would have
come to an abrupt termination OH the fact ap.
pearing in the course of the trial. b;;s
On the fact being submitted in advance to the
Court by counsel, both sides Of the indictment
we're ordered quashed, as they could not be

Night.

Again, 0 tender and benignant Night,
My tevered temples unto thee bare,
Bend softly downward from thy tranquil height,
And lay thy dewy finger gently there.
Again, o Night, again
Until the turmoil of my brain shall cease,
And gentle peace
Shall come to Danish pain.
Still most passionate, most blessed Night!
The little wood-brd in its downy nest,
All safely sheltered in its wind-tost nest,
And softly tended, has been lulled to rest.
Thou rocks the murmuring bee
To sleep amid the lilys curtain folds,
And slumber holds
All weary things, save me.
Have pity, pitying night thy breath of balm,
Thy dews shed DER me. On my forehead bare
Make haste to lay thy tender, cooling balm,
Thy stilling finger on the pulse of care.
thank thee Night | feel
Ger each tired sense soft spells begin to Greer
In visions sleep
Brings mine eyes to seal.

LAKE HoxDA.-The drainage of this pody
Of water continues. The engineers have dis
covered that this lake is fed by one large spring
at least, and that it is capable of supplying a
larger amount of water than any other source
adjacent to this city. The drainage has also
demonstrated that in addition to what was
considered the basin of the lake, there is a very
large cavity, probably the further descent Of
the canon, which will require filing up if il
proves TO be merely a receptacle of water. The
presence of gold has been demonstrated, and
the Spring Valley Water Company have under
consideration plan whereby the whole debris
of the lake may be sluiced out with the view
of saving all the precious metal it may contain.

STArIsrIcs.-We are indebted to Colonel
Webb, County Assessor, for the following
statistics Number Of horses IN Teliama Co,
1865; mules, l,024; cattle, 38,947 sheep,
1850; assessment of property for 1861. 81
l53,076; for 1860, s2.O8G,2l3 increase du.
ring the year, S56,863. When we take into
consideration the depreciation in the value OF
cattle, these figures are very encouraging, for
the assessment Of cattle alone must have been
100000 less than the valuation of 1860, and
for other stock nearly as much more, showing
an increase in the permanent wealth of the
county of nearly half million Of dollars

Whv, man, if the world knocks you down and
jostles past you in its great race, don't sit
whining under peoples feet, but get up, rub
your elbows, and begin again. There are some
people who even look at it worse than dose

very well, laugh between the drops. and think
cheerily of the blue sky and sunshine that will
surely come to morrow Business may be dull;
make the best of what you have, and look for

afford roast beef and plum pudding, eat your
goldfish joyfully, and bless the stars for the in
digestion and dyspepsia you thereby escape
But the moment you begin TO groan over your
troubles, and count your calamities, you may
as well throw yourself over the docks and done

might have woes enough, if he set himself Sc
riously TO work looking them up They are
like invisible specs Of dust-you don't see them
until you put on your spectacles to discover
what is great deal better left alone.
Don't get discouraged, little wife Life is
not long enough to spend in inlaming your
eyes and reddening your nose because the pud-
ding won't bake and your husband says the
new shirts you worked ever so long set like
meal bags" Make another pudding begin
the shirts anew. Don't feel down in the
mouth because will settle and the clothes will
wear out, and crockery will get broken Being
a woman don't procure you an exemption from

gle. Take things as they come, good and bad
