FIsu-A PRlsENrWc must express
onr high appreciation Of a handsome
string of ish, selt to us by our friend,
Freeman Hoyt. They were fresh from
bis private pond some of them still
al,icl,in;, y and exhibited plainly the eff
fects Of good feeding. They were fat and
plump.
Mr.. Ioyt's pond is now thoroughly
stocked With fine fish, O tho several ap-
proved species known to our country
stream{snd ponds. Theidea of raising
fish, a4l Of feeding and fatening them for
privatluse, seems to be q Aovel one, yet
It's pr.d icabilty has been fully developed
With small outlay, and a little care, the
farme1nay raise his fish as e;siIy as his
pigs al chicIzens-have them in as fine
condith for the table, and abolt as easy
of acces
Mr.. R-t's pond we believe has now
entered son its fourth year. It was
among therst Established in our District.

Presently I became conscious Of re-
turning sense; my limbs felt unwieldy
and of too great proportions to be moved
by the strengthening will my eyes open
cd and began to discern objects returning
to natural Dimensions; began to compre-
hend the conversation of persons in the
room. The whole operation had not oc-
cupicd half an hour, but 1 had lived CEN
turies Of indescribable horrors, and emo
tions of happiness which are incompre-
honsible to the sane and wakcful mind.

10 do. InJanuary last the sad tidings weptout
that the great Republic bad fallen, never to
rise. While these tidings chcered the hearts
OF tyrants and oppressors. they fell upon the
solii Of every oppressed man, Of every lover
Of freedom, like lead. They oyerhang all
Europe this day like pail. But on the fall
OF Fort Sumter, in April, new and wondrous
tidings went forth over that same world
glad tdings OF great joy--a very evangei of
freedom. These were tidings of the instant
uprising oftwenty millions Of people TO guard

This new evangel has thrilled joy through

The officers looked their very shiniest,

there was no end of the latest fashions

not think the President had given three
minutes thought to his personal appearance,
and even at the most, he is never full

rained on half dozen times and then had
the nap brushed the wrong way, and his 9TH

the observation ofa young lady friend, made
not long since. She had been up to the
White House and was giving description
of her reception by Uncle Abe Such

such a dirty, limp shirt collar, and there

John G. Breckinridge,

The Louisville Journal has caustic arti-
Gle On this arch traitor, which concludes as
follows:
While those who were his fellows in this
trcachery left their seats in Congress, he
remained there, and gave aid 10 them in
opposing every appropriation of man and

man is more deeply and terribly responsible

he knows that he is as guilty as Cain after
the first fratricide, and he flies from the
vengeance that awaits him. He is a refu-
gee from his native State, with the brand
upon his brow and the gnawing vulture of
remorse at his heart. His fate will be that
