Stray Law.-We publish on our 4th page,
The Stray Law of this state, that our readers may
see for themselves what thew have to do, when
they take up stray. 1t is the Of the year,
now, when cattle that have been running at large
trough the summer. and got stsryed away from
home, come into fields, pastures and yards, for
food and protection. Many people take up cattle
without any very definite idea of whatthey should
do in such cases, and they are apt to have trouble
in consequence We published the law two week 8
ago, and now we repubIish it, that no subscriber
of ours need be at a loss how to proceed.

SO They GO.-Last week we chroniced the
death Of Alfred Foster, one of the early settlers
of Kenosha Countrywide, in city and country. has
for twenty years moro, been nan esteemed
and loved by a large circle of friends. This week
we regret to announce the death of Captain j l.
GILBERT, of the same town. He TOO was al old
settler-a man respected and honored by his
townsmeu. He has always been chosen by the
people of Pleasant Prairie to some office in the
town government. He was q philosophical
liberal aud worthy citizen. In the cause Of ed
ucation, improvement, and progress, he was all
ways ready to lend his aid and influence. The
school and the church always had in him an able
champion. Few men IN the country, wee more
widely and favorably known. The COT ntry can
i'll afford to lose such men. But death is no re
specter of persons, The useful aud the useless
are alike called.

ROW in the Yankee Congress-.

The Petersburg Express, of Friday, says it
was reported there on the authority of a gen
tlenan who had just reached Petersburg via
Norfolk, that very serious row occurred in
the lower House of the Yankee Congress at
Washington, few days since. 1t is stated
that pistols were freely used, and that two Of
the members were mortally wounded. We
hope, if the rumor should prove correct, it
may tsrn cut that Thad. Stevens and Owen

POETRY.

nag The following beautiful poem was pub
lished in these columns some months ago, and we
re-insert it at the request of several friends:
GALL QUIET ALONG THE PoTO-
MAC TONIGHT"
BIZ Lamer Fontaine, Company I, Second Regi-
,ment Virginia Capalry. Written w!ssIe or
picket on The 5an1 of the Potomac, 1861.
-:All quiet along the Potomac tonight"
Except here and there a stray picket
Is shot rs he walks on his beat to and fro
By rifeman hid in the thicket.
sTis nothing private or two now and then
viii not count in the news of the battle:
Not an officer lost only one of the men,
Moaning out, all alone, the death rattle.
"All quiet along the Potomac tonight"
Where the soldiers lie peacefully dreaming,
And their tents in the rays Of the clesr autumn
moon,
And tie light Of their camp fires are cleaning.
A tremulous sigh. as the gentle night wind
Through the forest leaves slowly is creeping,
While the stars up above, with their ghtterlnS
eyes,
Keep guard Ger the army while sleeping.
Thers's only the sou.>d of the lone sent1ys tread,
As he tranps from the rock to the fountain,
And thinks of the two on the low trundie bed,
Far away in the cot on the mountain.
His musket falls slack-his face dark and grim,
Grows gentle WITH memories tender,
As he mutters prayer for the children asleep,
And their naother-''may heaven defend her. -
The moon seems to shine as brightly as then
That night, when the love yet unspoken,
Leaped up to his lips, and when low ln,lrnaurd
vows
We're pledged to BE ever unbroksn.
Then drawing his sleeve roughly over his eye,
lIs tfashes off tears that are yelling,
And gathers his gun close up to his breast
rs il to keep down the hearts swelling.
He passes the fountain. the blasted pine tree,
And his botstep is tagging and weary;
Yet onward he goes, through the broad belt CT
light,
towards the shades Of the forest SO dreary.
Hark was it the nightwind that rustled the
leaves?
Was it the meonight So wondrously flashing?
It locked like rife! ..Ha Mary, good byeY'
And lis life blood IS ebbiDg and splashing.
s.All erict along the Potomac tonight.
Ns.sound save the rush Of the river;
While soft falls the dew on the face Of the dead,
The picket's off duty forever.

daring act. it seemingly being completed; and
the lady, in acknowledgements of that applause,
loosened her hold upon her husbands neck
and waved her hands, and on the instant of
diving 80 she discovered that she had lost her
balance, and called to her husband to catch
her as she was falling.
This he attempted to do, and caught her by
the skirt Of her dress. but the frail fabric was
not Of Sufficient strength to- sustain her with
the impetus given to her descent by her fall,
and oh, horror the dress gave way, leaving
piece in the unfortunate mans hand, as he
hung suspended from the rope sustaining
himself by the jnat Of his knee, by means OF
which he had saved himself, and she went
down crashing upon the seats that ascend
from the curb Of the ring to the top of the
enclosure. She was taken in hand by the
ladies of the neighborhood, and everything
