reservoir, three miles from this place, and n
mile from canon creek, the boys residence.
The youth accidentally got into a deep por-

companions could render him any assistance.
A gentleman who was present when the
child was taken from the water, relates the
scene as distressing beyond description. The

of feeling, waiting to clasp to her sorrowing

a Just Tribute.

Col Robinson writes thus in letter
from this city to his paper at Green Bay ::
Gov. Randallis proving to be the right
man for the right place, now when we need
men. He is unwearily at work, day and
night, in putting the State into such an at
titude as the emergency demands, and I
think there is but one opinion as to the
very efficient and careful manner in which
it is being accomplished. The government
at Washington, beseiged of itself and hem
med in on all sides with difficulties and
enemies, has had little time to give thought
to the exposed situation of this great West
ern frontier; and these States, without
arms or any war munitions of consequence,
have had to grope their way forward to a
war footing under all disadvantages Isay
this of Governor Randall, because every
man and press should join to strengthen
the hands of the authorities in this peril of
the Commonwealth, and with peculiar
pleasure, because party feeling has been
utterly obliterated.

the nostrils Of the nation. The Wheatland
traitor is now so broken down as to be
trembling, chattering, pulling imbecile, the
frowns Of Heaven already descending on
him as a superfuous laggard on the same
stage with virtuous men. He talks about
the yillainy of those wretches, as he calls
them, who fired on the American flag !
Villains whom be took to his bosom, know
ing them to be such, and consenting to be
their plant tool. But he has given S1O2
to aid the Lancaster Volunteers to go forth
and fight those old Virginia friends of his
Think of it; spend four years in aiding to
destroy the Government, and then give
one hundred dollars towards saving it =
This miserable man, who now starts at
cloud and shivers at breeze, has not sold
his farm and gone to Canada A purse
could readily be raised to buy him out,
and purge the soil of Pennsylvania Of his
presence. His gray hairs protect him
from Punishment What spectacle of
national loathing is presented by the clos
ing years of this mans life. He will die
unwept, unhonored, and unsung.
But there is another Of the Pennsylva-
MIA Buohanans to be mentioned, that Cap
tain who commanded the Navy Yard at
Washington, and who threw up his COM
mission so abruptly the other day when
called on to act. This man has been feed
ing at the public teat ever since the close
of the war with England, nearly fifty years,
growing rich upon its fatness, without ev-
er having an enemys gun pointed at HIM
He caused his brother to be made purser
in the Navy, where he too has been gener-
ously paid Other relatives have filed Iu.

nephew has been educated at public cost

commission in one of our frigates. l i'm
peach not the loyalty of any of these; but
Captain Buchanan himself quits the ser
vice of his country at the only moment
in his long career that he could have been
useful to it. His repentance comes too
late, and the Government will disappoint
the country if it allows him to be rein
stated. The nation has had enough of the
name. History would present a clearer
page if it could be stricken from the rec

In p Printing Office

The composing room Of printing office
is about as productive of various questions,
and elicits as much curiosity from visitors,
as any place of business we know Of. The
first thing visitor does is to step up to a
case where fingers are at work, and watch
every motion, with perfect steadfastness,
looks into the composers face. to see where
his eyes are the process looks mysterious
and questions foreman about like this:
Visitor-'How do you know where to
find the letters are they arranged in order?
how do you know when they're right side
up =? what's the reason there's more type
in some boxes than the others should
thiuk you would make mistakes; and ought
to have the boxes marked don't you get
the wrong letters sometimes? "
Looking round he spies in one corner,
lot of something that calls forth-''What
are these ?"
Composer-"Quods.
VISITOR What's quods?"
Composer explains. Next finds the form
from which another is distributing.
Distributing EN- are you?"
Composer Yes"
Visitor" Can you do that faster than
you can set it what makes you wet the
type? Cooking at the form, why its all
up side down? is that the way it always is?
you can't read it can you 2"
Next goes around the press and finds
the roller, puts his fingers on it and gets
them dyed a shade or two blacker than their
natural hue.
Visitor What's this roller made of
India Rubber y
Compoger-.'No; glue and molasses
Visitor--'1 should think it would melt "
Composer.-"It does, when it gets too
warm"
He next comes to form, and finding a
column set aside, runs his fingers over it
and knocks square into confusion, apollo
gises, and bows himself out, without any
invitation to call again.
