strangers from all the four quarters of
the globe, and our hotels and restau-

"The accounts from ireland during
the pact week have been heart-sicken-
ing. There arc already sufficient
troops TO hold the island us if it were
a newly conquered country, yet more
troops are dispatched in such haste as
ifa formidable invader hid effected a
landing. Around che coast are vessels
ofwAr. Arms, ammunition and mon
ey are daily seized by the police
Personal liberty is in ~Abeyance, and
suspected persons are hourly arrested
The men of the North are thirsting for
an encounter with the men ofthe South
The corstabulary are armed with cut
lasses and breech- leaders. 1t il said
that Stephens, the Head-center, has
returned from America; and. also, that
the cities are TO be simultaneously fired
Dublin is nightly pstrolled bycavslry
EvOry-where tho soldiers ere under
arms by night and by day. In q word
Ireland is in q state of insurrection.-
The rising may take place next week
or next month, but it seems a mockery
to hope that. after all, there will DO nc
actual rising, and that the embryo in.
s~urroction will die still-torn." -

A Detroit sOnsatlOn--A $4,000


A singular confidence gamehas been
played in Detroit. A smooth tongued
individual named Blunt, formed the
acquaintance of young lady Of the
city, and acquaintance ripened into
friendship and friendship into love-
Blunt gradually ingratiated himself
into the good grace Of the young lady's
family, and became. their confidential
adviser. Learning that the father Of
his inamorate had some real estate
worth about S13, 900, which no desired
to sell, Blunt obtained authority to
sell it, and the title deeds were put in
his possession. nthe strength OF them
he put on A'great many airs on Change
and was generally regarded as q man
of property. Not finding a purchaser
at $4,000 he lowered the price to S10,-
600, for which he sold it, $4,000 being
paid down. With this sum Blunt at
once decamped, and has not since been
heard from. The sale having been
made without the necessary transfer.
Is, of course, invalid, and the would-bs
purchaser 10 left to mourn the loss Of
his $4,000, and the young ledy other
rascally lover.

THE LAST DAYS OF AUTUMN.

Now the growing year is over,
And the shepard's tinkling bell,
Family from its winter cover,
Rings u low iarewell:--
Now the birds Of Autumn shiver,
Where the withered beech trees quiver,
Ger the dark and lazy river,
In the rocky dell.
Now the mist is on the mountain,
Reddening the rising snn;
Now the flowers around the fountains,
Perish one by one;
Now spirc Of grass is growing.
But the leaves that late were glowing,
Now in blighted green are strcwing,
With o mantle dun.
Now the torrent brook is stealing
Family down the furrowed glade
Not rs when in winter pealing.
Such din is made,
That the sound of cataracts falling,
Gave no echoes so appalling.
As its hoarse and heavy hrawling,
In the pines black shade.
Darkly blue the mist is lowering
Round the Gifted rocks bare hight
All the bordering mountains covering
With q dim uncertain light;
Now frcsher wind prevailing
Wide its heavy burden sailing,
Deepens as the day is failing
Fast the gloom Of night.
Slow the blood stained moon is riding
Through the still and hazy air,
Like sheeted spectre gliding
In a torch's glare;
Few the hours. her light is given
4ingling clouds Of tempest driven
Der the mourning face of Heaven,
All is blackness there.

WooDsIDs LEDoE.- The discovery of
rich goId-beariug quartz in the Woodside
ledge, near Georgetown. has created cousid-
srable interest in mining circles within the
past few days. The mine has been held for
several years. and side tunnels had been run
TO cut the lode, with no results save to de-
p'sss the pockets Of the propretors. AT
last shaft was sunk horizontally on The
lode. at point where rich outcroppiug had
been found years before. The rock taken
from this shaft more than paid expenses
from the beginning. The shaft is now down
about l25 feet, and mass Of gold quartz
has been found Of such surprising richness
that an effort is being made TO work around
and take out large b ock Of several tons
for exhibition, which, it is said, will exceed
anything ever before exhibited in that line.
The fortunate holders which the mine has
helped to break and then to make, are
