A LITERARY YJouRNAL.--TheG Gleane,.
is large eight page quarto journal,
and from the first line on the first
column of the first page to the last
line on the forty-eighth column, it
abounds with select matter; en-
bracing, besides the news of the
week, choice tales, sketches and
poetry, which make it, as it's name
indicates, true "home companion"
which no family in the State should
be without.

WHATS THE MATTER WITH THE
PoLE?-The Chester Standard, of
Thursday, has the following queer
paragraph. We wonder What it
means:
"The United States flag was raised
Mt the post headquarters on the first
of May. We have not heard of any
particular display or ceremony con-
nected with the raising, but the old
flag went up 80 easily and with so
little noise, that the citizens did not
even know of its elevation. Most
people are little shy of going near
the high pole from which it floats,
for reasons not necessary here to
state"
What is the matter with the high
pole? Does it attract lightning in
peculiar manner, that people are SO
shy of going near it, or is it the first
high pole that has been erected in
Chester? We hope our contemporary
will explain, for although he may
have reasons not necessary to explain
to his own people, we do not COM
prehend them down here.
