ky~Ihe news has reached us, says the AUalaache, that Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, the great Mexican agitator, has been violently swept from the earth through the same instrumentality that ended the existence of Macmillan. The report says that he was shot on the 25th ult. by a party of Liberals at Sisal, in Yucatan, who boarded the United States vessel Virginia, which was taking him from Vera Cruz to Havana, arrested and carried him ashore. So we presume that the agitator of Mexico, for so many years, is now past concoeting schemes for further trouble among his peopele. In thus putting to death, Santa Anna the Liberals have much show of justification for the act, as his conduct at Vera Cruz a short while previous, exhibited treachery to their cause and promised continued distraction to their country. He had de- signed to overthrow Juarez and usurp the control of the Government, as he had often done before. There is no doubt but that Santa Anna possessed more ability than any one of his countrymen who have arisen to be his competitor or colaborer in the affairs of that disturbed and vascillating government. Had it not been for the disease this man possessed, and invariably exhibited, to assist demolition of the rule over his country he had been instrument al in establishing, he would have raised the Mexicaps from their present worthless condition, given enlightened. humane dur able government. and developed the great agricultural and mineral resources of his dominions, thereby placing his native land in the scale of nations honored and respect ed. The intrigue of his nature, however, proved his own ond the ruin of Mexico. Santa Anna was born in the city of Jalapa Tn l79S, and first gave national reputation
 to the peculiarities of his genius when his country, iu 1920, commenced the revolt against Spain, which ended in the success of her independence. He was then liberal
 uncentralized, constitutional government {; but soon exhibited his unconquerable pas sion for change. In 1928 and the follow ing year, he led the revolutionary party against President Pedraza, for the interest of Guerro, but scarcely having es- tahished the latter in executive power,

And he saw the tears OF my eyelids start,
For he was the world TO Inc.

OF tangled paths in which men stray,
And around me all his arms he threw,
His eyes were on fire that day.
We parted yes! but I clung to him,
And put up my lips to be kissed again;
And the laughing eyes Of the .heav'n grew
And were swollen black with rain. tdim,
They came to me when my love was gone,
And said he was poor and toiled for bread,
They talked of ruin and tears alone,
And my heart was as dull as lead.
And then they laid their bribc Mt my fect-
Twas the same old tale that is often told,
They play'd on the string fmyhcart sconceit
And dazzled my eyes with gold.
I sold myself to loveless thing,
And walked to the altar, and there / lied,
For my heart was away with the primrose
And ! by my husbands side. (spring,
And now you ask me what Of the lie?
I've paid full dear for my grlish greed;

Than to live the life did.

And pray for the ruin Of winters rain,
For the scent fthc primrose crown offspring,

dog.

The dog is very useful animal. I own a
dog-black and tan terrier He is q nice
dog; used to look very ferocious and fly
around the room when anybody said rats, p"
although never knew him to catch any.
But he was great at raw beef In that re-
spect I never saw his equal. He answered
to the name of Jack" l suppose there
must be several million dogs who rejoice in
the same cognomen. Jack strayed away a
week or two ago; lcN the mamma Of my
house for the Aesh-pots Of some bcguiling
stranger, I suppose. Missed him when l
came home; house seemed empty without
him. His ''bark wasn't on the SEE" or in
the parlor, or in the second story front Or
anywhere else. Children cried for him,
while our Thomas cat no longer mounted
hurriedly on the chairs and tables as he ap-
preached. I was distressed. I consulted
with my wife; I advertised for him; offered
five dollars reward. Advertisement appeared
in the morning papers.

left hand, put up in terrific right handel
on the left side of Parkinsons head that
made him reel. Kelley followed him up
and received a left-hander on the nose
but he in return planted his left again on
Parkinson's mouth, drawing more blood.
Kelley also missed his left and right at
the head, while Parkinson seemed con.
fused in his endeavors to get away. An
overreaching right handler Of Kelley which
passed over Parkinson's head, brought them
to close quarters, when Parkinson seized
Kelly by the left leg, just above the knee,
on the inside, and held on there until the
referee was appealed to with criesof "foul.
Parkinson then slipped his hand further up
and held Kelley by the breeches, endeavos-
ing to throw him. Kelley did not struggle
for the fall, but gathering his strength plan
ted heavy left handler in the ribs, and was
then thrown, Parkinson falling on him.
Foul was claimed By the seconds of Kelley,
and the referee promptly decided that Kelley
had won the fight Great confusion then
ensued, the partisans Of Kelley rushing in
to the ring and congratulating him on his
easy victory, while Parkinson friends were
calling on the referee to have the ring clear.
and let the fight goon. Lazarus then went
over and took down the color, while the
Parkinson men were expostulating with the
referee for reverson of his decision.-
This, however, that gentleman would not
do, and so the affair ended, and the crowd
began to disperse. There is no doubt that
the foul act Of Parkinson was premedtated.
a man with his experience in ring matters
could never have made such mistake and
the presumption is, that finding himself
overmatchedhe adopted this system of bring
ing to an carly close q battle that must have
terminated disastrously to him. The round
lasted two minutes, and more dashing first
round has seldom been witnessed in the
prize ring Parkinson is said to have lost
all the force heis said to have possessed in
his youthful fights. as he could not punish
his antagonist. On the other hand, Kelley
is heavy hitter with both hands; and as he
seems to have plenty Of pluck, he will be
fund hard customer for the best of the
feathcr weights. The old adage of Youth
will be served" was proved to be correct on
the above occasion.

HARRISBURG, March IL, 1867.
We have had another glorious week. Of
all the festive legislatures this is one Of the
festivest I have ever known. 1t has festived
Pittsburg, New York, Philadelphia, and
other places by committees has festived
Harrisburg generally, and finally gave Wash
ington its festivest festivity The whole
Legislature resolved to go to Washington to
see that their unsophistcated new Senator
should not 20 into the wrong House, or by
any other awkward accident fail to get his
seat. As he knows nothing of the chicanc-
ry and trickery of Washington, it was deem.
cd best that the whole Legislature, the one
hundred and one pastors and folders, the
correspondents, and the chiefs of the lobby,
should be combined in acommittee of safety
for the trip, and to be transformed into an
advisory and admiration committee when
the Capital should be reached. Being ofthe
old school Of Harrisburg correspondents, l
was of course invited, and from II y intimate
relations with and devotion to the Legisla-
ture, could not decline. My ticket of in-
vitation kindly inquired whether / would a
Rooster be, and with the BOOSTERS 60, and
if so, to come along. OF course / went,
and was treated with distinguished consid-
Grafton, particularly on the trip, and had a
jolly time generally. Although there are
but 1873 members Of the Legislature, l07
subordinate officers, and about ten corre-
spondents there were some BAT who were
ticketed and passed along as belonging to
the Legislature, while some 30 Of the mem
bers did not 60 at all. l did not understand
this discrepancy in figures, nor did I seek
an explanation, but when we got to Wash
ington, and got up the serenade to our
Chief, found that we had everything with
us, from the Legislature down to o pronlis.
cuous crowd, and large committee on ap-
plause.
No incidents worthy of note happened on
tho journey, excepting few little unpleas-
ant misunderstanding such as always oc-
cur in large and promiscuous crowds. Sit.
ting in meditative quietude, with my cloak
wrapped closely around me, and my hat
drawn down over my serene brow, was
aroused from revery by fellow passenger
mistaking me for Senator Cameron and pre-
senting petition for the post Of Office in

he was intoxicated.

As from hil-sides they are poured,
Spring is coming. Spring is coming
Pewitts build beneath the shed,

Sunrise wakes the robin song,
As on top.most twig presulning,
Sings his notes so sweet and strong.
Spring is coming! Spring is coming!
Bluc-birds warble AS they fly,
Pheasants on the pine-log drumming,
Tell us Spring is drawing nigh.
Spring is coming! Spring is coming!
Frogs are croaking in the pond,
Bees around the elders humming,
Seeking bread Of which they're fond.
Spring is coming! Spring is coming!

All their modest beauties donning
AS the sunshines warmth they greet.
Spring is coming! Spring is coming!
