The racing river lcapcl and sang
Full blithely in the perfect weather,
All round the mountain echoes rang,
For blue and green were glad together.
This rained out light from every part,
And that with songs of joy was thrilling;
But in the hollow of my heart,
There ached n place that wanted filing.
Before the road and river meet.
And stepping-stones are wet and glisten,
heard a sound of laughter sweet,
And paused to like it ahd to listen.

The cushat's note, the bees low humming-
Then turned the hedge, and did not know

Never in our experience as journalists
has il been our duty to chronicle an occur,
renee more horrid in its details than the
one we are about to relate. las 53i -i5it
The sad affair that left a widowed mother
chiidless. and for the time being almost be-
reft of reason, happened about the 18th
ult.ain the adjoining county to Allen, a
short distance from the Warren county
line, IN the vicinity of Anthony's Mill.
The heartrending details. as related to us
by persons of unquestionsble veracity, are
about these: ID
Some two months since Mrs. Blankenship,
lady of respectabiiity, lost her husband
from disease, and was lett with three chill
dren, two interesting boys and little in
fant girl, just large enough to walk alone
and beguile the lonely hours of the mother
with its Innocent prattle. On the 18th ult,
the mother, Mrs. Blankenship. for the pur--
pose of washing clothes, repairedto the
spring branch near the house in the locali-
ty referred to, taking her three children
with her, the house dog following behind.
She had been engaged in washing but q
short time when the dog was heard bark
ing necessarily on the hill near by. Think
ing that the dog had possibly tfeed rae
boys proposed going at once to secure the
game. With the mothers consent the
little fellows started off in, high glee.d
Alas! better had they never been born,
On reaching the spot where the dog
was barking they saw a short distance
from the dog large object coiled at the.
foot Of q stump, in q hostile attitude, keep
ing the dog at bay. They looked for a mo-
nient. Eager only to capture the supposed
game, and mot thinking of danger, nor
knowing the nature of the prey, they ap-i
preached the hideous monster that in ia
tality Of attack ss outvenoms all the worms
of Nile" The oldest of the two boys ap-f
preached first with his little hands out
stretched and his face aglow at the pros
pectso his prize, he said, Sill get him,
brother.n One step more and he rushed to
death more terrible and speedy than were
the tortureSr of tabled LAGOON. With one
dart Of his forked tongue, with one death
rattle Of hista the huge rattlesnake-for
1t was nothing iess-drew back his scaly
folds and. with one dart forward planted
his enyenomed fangs in the flesh of the boy.
and left the deadly poison coursinp bot
thTouph his Young veins. a Aqairl and
agin was the how bitten by the fatai reptiIe
tiIli he fell exhausted in the; coils Of the.
monster,
The other little fellow rushed forward to.
the relief Of his little brother, and he also

several places. The screams of the bows.
