A Dom este War Drama.

A singular case before the Supreme Court

most romantic and pitiful story. He re-

ranks of the defenders Of the country,
with his back pay and an honorable dis
charge in his pocket, to Jersey City, and
put up at boarding house kept by one
Mrs. Brosman, who represented herself as
lone widow, with three small children.
Here the widows destinations overcame

was not rejected; the children called him

Brown. There was brother about the
house, and this brother, the widow said

A GREAT NATURAL CUR1osIrY.-T

a GREAT NATURAL CURIOSITY. The
Sentinel, published at Jacksonville, Ore
gon, on the 18th September says: "Sov-
eral of our citizens returned last-week
from visit to the Great Sunken-Lake,
situated in Cascade Mountains, about IS
miles northeast from Jacksonville. This
lake rivals the famous valley of Sinbad
the Sailor. 1t is thought to average g.
600, feet down to the water all around.--
The walls are almost perpendicular, run

no beach. The depth of the water is un.
known, and its surface is smooth and uu-
rutAed, as it lies SO far below the sur
face of the mountain that the air currents
do not affect it. Its length is estimated
at twelve miles, aud its BREADTH ten
There is an island in its centre having
trees upon it. No living man has ever,
and probably never will be able to reach

angle of forty-fve degrees, and were able
to note several seconds of time from the
report of the gun until the ball struck the

vouched by some Of our most reliable citi-
zens. The lake is certainly remarkable

tons made by our friends of wives, or of
husbands, we can only deduce from the
facts, this inference-Love is blind
We see men of fine appearance, of well
cultivated minds, choosing as partners for
life women Of the plainest Looks, and so
near the confines of idiocy, that We would
not be SURPRISED to lSarn any day, that
those confines had been passed.
We see women, lovely and gentle,
uniting themselves with meu who, if | may
use the expression, the Creator seems to
have erected only the first scaffoldings.
These are the two extreme cases. The
gradations are iunumerable--and all illus

Of temptation. Few would like the record
shown Of the number of darts they have
received from Cupid's culver. Seldom
do those who receive one wound remain
contcnted, but must needs expose them
selves again to his mark.
1t was excellent advice Benvolio gave
to Romeo, when the latter asked him how
to conquer hopeless love. Benvoio
said,
"By giving liberty unto thine eyes;
Examine other beauties"

not to be miserable, bus to think them

in vain for sympathy of ideas, congenial-

union. No wonder our gracious Saviour
said to his disciples, sin the resurrection

1t seems tn US, standing aloof and look

that if this be Love-this insane, irration.

wise and good to surrender themselves to

Dickens gives us in david Copper

the madness, the blindness, of this cher

the sad consequences Of "unsuttabliy Ct

up the subject thus:

With heart sore signs; one fading moments

With twenty watchful, weary, tedious nights

ON THE
Condition Of the Aims House and
Jail.
NOVEMBER TERN, 1865.

t'N'' '-"DiSAe 1lhij lOOOa
TO the Honorable JOHN III. PRICE,,
J"t!ge of Ike Circuit Court Jor Hartford
county.
We, the Grand Inquest, respectfully re-
port-that we made the customary visit
to the Aims House and Jail
We found in the Aims House twenty
three persons - eleven males and twelve
I, .nnlrs--snmc four of whom are not in
Iacr 20 st mind. They were all as COM
Portable as The inefficient buildings and
necessaries provided by the County would
permit.
One building needs roofing, and some
other repairs are very much wanted be-
fore winter sets in.
We would recommend-as has been
done by former Grand iuries--.he sale of
all the land lying N orth Of the road, about
two hundred and twenty-five acres, as that
is of very little benefit in supporting the
institution. Twenty-Five acres on the
South side of the road appears to be prop
erlv cultivated.
The Overseer, M. McComas, said he
has made, the past year, about one hun
bred and nine bushels of wheat, one hun
dred and seventy barrels of corn, and two
hundred and twenty bushels of OATS
Those Of us who knew the condition of
the institution when Mr.. McComas came,
say that he has been good and faithful
overseer.
We found in the Jail twelve prisoners
seven white men, four negro men, and
one negro woman. For larceny. six; for
arson, one f; for assault and battery, one
for entlcing away apprentices, one; for
sair-kceping, one, insane, two.
We would bear testimony 10 what has
been expressed, that Mr.. Amos, our re-
firing Sheriff, has performed the duties of
his office with kindness to the unfortunate,
with mercy to the depraved and with JUS
tie 10 the county.
Respectfully submitted.
Obcdienlly yours,
w. T. BAYLESS,
Foreman of Grand Jury.
