POETICAL.
Come Where Music Dwells.

Oh, come where music dwells,
Forever floating round!
That now with rapture swells,
Then dies in whispering sound!
The charm your soul shall fill
With pure celestial fire.;
Put forth your noblest skill,
And touch the golden Tyre.
Oh, come in bright array,
With sunshine, smiles, and flowers;
1t is festive day,
And pleasure counts the hours;
Lead off with dance and song,
Let music mirth inspire;
The happy strain prolong,
And touch the golden Tyre.

AGenl.

The following beautiful little gem about
Green Erin is from the pen of S. S. Prentiss-
II tells the story of wonderful people, in a
language that will reach all hearts:
sThere lies upon the other side of the wide
Atlantic beautiful island, famous in song and
in story. 1t has given to the world more than
its share of genius. Its brave and generous
sons have fought all battles successfully but
their own, and its history, like its harp, moves
to tears by the melancholy story Of its pathos.'

As every leaf of the forest, and every ripple
on the lake, which itself receives a sunbeam on
its breast, may throw the sunbeam OFF again,
and so spread the light around; in like manner,

into his heart, may and will publish with his
life and his lips that blessed name

Gathering Fruit

Fruit ladders, for gathering apples or other
fruit on tall trees, should always be on hand.
The time saved in gathering even The fruit Of
one tree, will often pay the cost OF the ladder,
to say nothing Of the saving 0. injury done TO
the tree, and the fact that all fruit carefully
hand-pcked brings extra price in the market.

Indian DiaicuIties in Arizona.

The commsSioner of Indian Affairs has re-
ceived a communication from Superintendent
Leihey. from La Pass, Arizona, dated April
18th. in which information is given of an out
break between the whites and party Of the
Hualapois, which originated on the 9th uit
at place called "the Willows on the road
from Fort Mofure TO Prescott.
\ party of five white men who were on
prospecting tour had made their camp there
and whilst four of them were absent the in,
dams killed the white man in camp auL
burned the cabin. As soon as this became
known at Hardyyille, settlement seven
miles above Fort Mofure, party Of armed
citizens Immediately went out and killed In
al nine indians; among the number the chie1
of Hualapois-and several women AID chill
den.
Superintendent Leihcy thinks IT'D byuo means
improbable that an alliance will be formed
between the Hualapois and Chinnehouas
against the whites, and says if such proves to
be the case the condition Of the white settlers
on the river Will be very procarious, owing tc
the insufiiciency of troops stationed in that
portion ofthe Territory. IIs also remarked, in
bis communication, that thc only safety fol
lite and property on the river is the establish
ment of the Indians on reservations, in ord, I
to accomplish which the presence Of troops
will be actually necessary.

bzy9 We were very much gratiied by the
appearance of the Soldiers Convention.
Their proceedings were conducted in a spirit
of great unauimty they seemed to fully un-
derstand the issues at stake in the coming
contest and eyinced as much determination
to secure the right now as they cid when as
sembled for the purpose of succoring the
nation from its deadly peril The resolutions
have no uncertain sound, are not framed for
the purposes of deception and fraud but ere
an open, honest expression Of the feeling
which animates the breast Of every true SOL
der in Potter county. II was truly said that
they Of all others have right to speak
in this matter of settling with traitors. The
men who sacrificed health and limbs have o
right to say what shall be the final disposition
Of the great question Of reconstruction, ard
we are glad to know that the Convention at
Pittsburg is holden for that purpose. Let
them hold mp the hands of the Right now as
they did in the years of fearful strife. The
victory of the battlefield is the first, while
the victory at the polls is the second great
means in securing the end Of Universal Free
dom. The Revolution of Arms is not greater
than the Revolution of Legislation. The
French found freedom by the sword, and as
quickly lost it by the civil power. Let US
profit by their experience. The Official re-
port will be found in another column

said that to get the itch is no disgrace but it
is disCraceful to keep it. No one need have

We saw it tried on the persons OF several
children and adults a few week since, and the
itching at once ceased, and. in two days not
ap eruption was visible; 1t is efectual i in
removing pimples, blOtches, and especially
