AZ midnight in his humble tent.
An oil man dreamt of that bright hour
When grease, her course to heaven bent,
Should come forth at his powes.
In dreams he saw around displayed
The trophies Of his greasy trade,
In DREAMS he saw the oily tide
Roll swiftly down the mountains side,
And saw II I'LL the valleys wide
With natures blessings fat
He saw his rivals calmly stare,
To hear his name borne on the air
As So and 80, the millionaire,
And hope for luck like that
Z 4 At midnight In the forest shades al ~
The oil mon camped; motley band
Some Of them thrifty Yankee blades
From far of northern land;
There-speculators had been rash;
There-had they sunk their wells and cas6;
There-hsd their prospects gone to smash
Upon former day.
And now there breathed that tainty air.
A host who never had been there,
With luck to try, and cash to spare,
As far, as much as they.
Some hours passed on the oil man woke
Aud found his dream no idle joke.
He woke-to hear his Waterman speak,
To hear his trenchmen round him shrek
One lasting veil that neer did cease,
"HuzzaI it comes the grease. the grease?
And grease spots falling thick and fast
As rain drops from mountain cloud
And then With voice - trumpet loud
The oil man cheered them on:
Work-till every pore perspires,
Work-ts strength my claim requires,
Work--Tll yet defy the buyers
Work-or my profits gone
,Sy.. They strove;, hD~ hard no tongue can tell,
They piled tho barrels thick around
They sought tDstsp the flowing we'll
And run the thing back In the ground.
They conquered; but the Oh man fell
Into tank and drowned.
A few Responding rivals near,
Who heard that morn his joyous cheer,
Now saw his carcass disappear
- 4 And heard his breathing cease;
They mourned his fate as very sad
And all declared it was too bad,
But cursed the foreign taste that had
Sepulshred him In grease
e s1s %.st h. s,s
Come to the topper when he feels
He's found that enemy that steals
Away his brains: and calmly thinks
His quotas filed Of earthly drinks
Come to tho sailor In the storm,
The soldier In his uniform.
Cone-when the heart beats high and war
Beside some syppathetie form,
And Then we can but say at best
Thou AIT indeed fatal guest.
But TO the oil man when his shaft
Hss pierced the sombre shades below.
And there comes forth solid draught,
A clear, substantial oily flow;
When gold BY Thousands he can see,
And thinks Of millions yet to be-"
When then thou contest with aspect grim
From OF thy dark and dreary shore,
To bring thy message unto him
Thsn-then- thy call - doublysssrs4s;
Pstrvliai as founding waif -.
Grease fathered in yonr ohildhoods days.
Pos.erity can no'er decide
To curse thee or to praise,
Inc few who haply win thy smile
Shall hold thee up to fame,
While thousands who do not strike lie
Will surely damn thy name

INTERESTING RzLIc.-In remodeling

INTERESTING RELIc.-Iu remodeling
the interior of the Clerks office, during the
past week, among various old papers and
books, many of them more than century
old, there was found one of the Land Record
Books of the county, which has been missing
for number of years.
This book, which presents quite an anti.
quated appearance, contains the record of
Deeds, Mortgages, and other writings, from
the year 1867 to l772, and was supposed to
have been carried away by the British, dur.
ing the Revolutionary war, to New York,
along with some of the other Records, which
were afterwards found there.
1t contains about one thousand pages of
heavy parchment and is bound in what was
at one time fine velvet, the corners and edges
being also bound with copper, evidently in
tended to prevent their wearing off.
1t was no doubt considered, at the time it
was made, one of the handsomest books of
the day, and gotten up regardless of cost.
From label on the side, it is presumed
to have been made in England for the pur-
pose of registering the births, marriages and
desths in Saint Margarets, Westminster, but
was not Used, and afterwards brought over
to this colony.

The President informed gentleman on
Saturday that he had FINELY determined to
grant pardons to prominent rebels In excep-
tional cases only.
Frederick W. Seward, for the first time
since the l4th of April the night of the
murder of President Lincoln, was able on
Sunday to Walk from his chamber to an ad-
joining apartment.
1t is positively ascertained that there
has been no consultation by the Executive
branch of the Government as to when, where
and how Jefferson Davis is to be tried.
-Junius B. Booth, brother of the mur.
derer, has been released Internationally
from prison, there being no evidence that
he had any participation in the great crime.
Gov. Pierpcnt, of Virginia, it turns out,
lacks backbone at the very time when he
should have great deal of it.
Henry Winter Davis will deliver An ora
ton at Chicago on the 4th of July. He will
take strong ground in favor of negro suf-
frage.
Southern Postmasters are being rapidly
appointed, and the mail is being everywhere
put in operation. H.
The iron -clads continue to arrive at the
Philadelphia navy yard, where they will be
laid up.
Gen. Grant is now at his residence in
Philadelphia.
The President has appointed five enlist,
ed boys to be midshipmen at the Naval
School, after rigid examination.
The old line to Richmond, via Aqua
creek, was resumed on Monday.
The Fourth of jul y will be celebrated

FREDERICK CRY, Nd, June 2sth, 1865.

FREDERICK CITY, ND, June 18th, 1865.
DEAR EDITOR THE long trains of army
wagons and of cavalry passing peacefully
through our mountain city remind us that
the signs of war are rapidly being removed
from us. The almost abandonment of the
Quartermaster's department Of this post, as
well as the rapid evacuation of the U. S.
Hospitals, and on Saturday morning the re-
moval of the provost marshal and guard of
some hundred men, give unmistakable evil

join their brigade, and to be mustered out

shops at $50 to 500 per month, to serve
their country in time Of peril at SIG, now
have their hearts gaddened at the prospect
of getting home TO their families, and the
unllkelyhood of no more war to disturb this
beautiful country. Many were the sacrifices
made by volunteers, when the country called
for their services, and many are the hard.
ships they have endured for their country s
sake. We, who have remained at home,
are under heavy debt of gratitude to the
soldiers who have served in the field
We're it not for the 9th U. S. Cavalry being
stationed near the city. we would soon be
without the emblems of war. Col. Morris,
commanding, shows signs of much service,
having passed through the war with Mexico
and four years of hard service lust closed
commands profound respect for his bravery
and gentlemanly department as an Officer
Capt. A. W. Evans, brother of Hon. Alex
Evans, of your town, we are told, com,
mands a portion of the 9th U. S. Cavalry
under Col. Morris.
Capt. Rutherford, who is now closing ur
hIc ctn I'd ch,,, ~, ,to 81,
post, has won the admiration of all persons
having business in his department. He may
truly be styled model Quartermaster
looking carefully to the interests of the gov
ernment, more than pecuniary aid or sci
agrandisement.
Capt. Wall, District Provost Martial o
the Draft, is al so preparing to wind up his
department as fast as eXpcdient. We know
of no one having won the confidence ano
respect Of the community more than the
Captain.
These gentlemen have formed many agree
able associations in Frederick and vicinity
and the community part with them rcluct
antly; but glad that their services are nc
longer needed in their present capacities.
The farmers are actively engaged saving
abundant crops of hay and wheat, which
has been much retarded by the frequent rains
during the last two weeks, some of which
have been very heavy.
AS we write many ambulances and horses
which look as though they had seen hare
service and low diet, are passing to som,
point, no doubt to receive the stroke of th,
auctioneer's gavil, and then be transferred
to civil life. Farmers are buying many bar
gains at these sales.
