WRITTEN on TIE DEATH OF WILLIAM n, EVANS
WHO WAS WOUNDED AT THE BATTLE OF FRED
ERICKsBURG, AND SUBSEQUENTLY DIED.
wakingl
Stranger, tread softly on the patricts..bed,
Cease your wild tears; ye hearts with anguish
brealling,-
One hero more lies numbered with the dead
All the emotions of his fond heart checking,
Bade he adieu to home and loved ones dear,
No thought of danger or of foeuan recking,
Lave Of Eis country, e'er to him most near,
Answered he nobly to a nations calling,
Bravely pursued he where duty led the way,
First in the ranks, deaths missiles round him
falling,
Soon on the ground the gallant soldier lay
What though his form was so manly and so
bright,
What though his heart was joyous. gay and
The Death Angel heedeth sad mourner's
prayer
spareth he neither the young nor the fair;
Some beauty remaineth where sunlight hath
fed,
So nightly in visions, returneth our dead;
Though he sleeps il his grave, far away, all
alone,
Yet we greet him in dream land, and call him
our own. -
Wrap then around him our fiag-beloved en-
blem
Fit winding-sheet for the young and the
brave,
And in that land where death cannot part TIL EN-
Shall the loved meet again the land be-
yond the grave. L. J. E.

US1oN LEAGUE.-Elsewhere we print
an able article on the subject Of a Loyal
National League, copied from the New
York Evening Post. At the present time,
when the Rebel sympathizers in the
North are strainins every nerve to create
feeling of dissatisfaction in the minds
of the people against the Administration
and are eudeavoring, by means OF an IN
.dious oire in the rear" to denorallze
our armies in the field, this topic should
cone home to the hearts Of all. Some
thing is needed-some organization IN
which good men and true Of ali parties
and predilections may strike hands to-
cetker- to counteract the balefu. influence
Of these haters of their country. These
Iowa! Leagues, with the protesscd and
only object of encouragement Of patriotic
sentiment and opinion, exactly constitute
such organization. They have been es-
tsblished in all the large cities, in AL
,oona. Johnstown, aud elsewhere, and with
the happiest results That such an insti-
tuition is needed here, where-we blush
TO say it !--politiciaus OF the Vallandig-
ham school are almost as thick as leaves
in Vallarlbrosa. aad Treason IS allowed to
stalk forth blatant and unrebuked, must be
matter patent to all. We have sent forth
the flower of our community to battle for
the great principle Of Rights it not
the shecrest folly to permit their hands to
be tied and their efforts rendered abortiye
providing we can prevent it We think
so. In view Of this state Of affairs, VIII
not some of our influential citizens exert
themselves for the establishment OF q
League in cur midst The Traitors OF
the South are not more energetic and de-
;ermined than are their sympathizera in
the. North. Let us learn lesson from
their past history, and be ready to meet
them hereafter. fairly and squarely, prin-
cye to principle aud issue to issue. We
hope all loyal men throughout the county
will feel called upon to take an interest in
this matter On the principle that ''in
Union there is strength" the organization

rer-must be productive of much good
toward the cause for which we are now
struggling The members will, Of course,

gallant sons of the 9th than they have
yet experienced. The boys, of course,
were overjoyed at the idea of "chaneiug

ALL RIGHT Ellis r. Williams, a

who, on his recent return to his regiment
after brief trip aence on "French far
lough," was arrested as deserter and
lodged in the guard house, at Falmouth,
has, we are happy to say, been released
without trial. The order to that effect
was promulgated by Secretary Stanton
himself, who fully understood and appre-

IHE WEATHER.-Ihe snow, OF which
we made mention last week. still remains
with US. On Friday evening it covered
the ground to the depth of one foot, but
next morning actual measurement demon
strated that two feet would scarcely do
justice to it. This is due to the fact that
it showed all night that night and late
into next day Meanwhile, the merry
Jingle Of the bells has been resounding III
our ears incessantly-a proof that the
folks are either profting by our advice or
following the bent of their OWE inclina
tions, and "going it, without regard to
expense and things. at present writing,
however, it pains us to observe, the indi-
cations are that the snow, excellent sleigh
ing and all, will soon be numbered with
the things that were, schoolboy's tale
and so forth of an hour. In case the
article here spoken of goes off the noun
tains with rush, as it not unfrequently
does at this season Of the year, there will
most likely be a high old freshet. The
denizens of the valleys, therefore-and
especially of Johnstown, which town lies
directly at the base of a chain of hills,
and at the converging point of two large
streams having their fountain-head in the
uplands-shod be on their guard. In fact,
they would do well to consider this due
notification of impending danger, and
proceed to encase themselves in life pre-
servers forthwith This, of course, refers
to only such as cannot swim. Kernville
bridge, also, might with great propriety
be looked after. If it is not insured, that
operation should be performed upon il
without delay, SO that If it be unable to
weather the weather, the kernvillains
will at least have the satisfaction of know
ing that its place may be filed without
the necessity arising of their being levied
upon tor taxes extraordinary. A variety
of other suggestions that we might ven-
ture will be passed over now in silence
for want Of time and room. We content
ourself by saying and knowing that ''a
word to the wise is sufficient"
