Impeachment.

A majority of the Judiciary Committee have reported in favor of impeachment. The discussion of the question has been postponed, however, and sufficient of the evidence is not yet reported to warrant a iudgment as to its character. One thing, we think, is certain: An impeach- ment will not be voted unless graver of- fences are proved than have, as yet, been made public. President Johnson's con- duet in the removal of Gems. Sheridan and Sickles, and Secretary Stanton, seemed to indicate a determination to obstruct the execution of the Reconstruction Acts. His subsequent conduct showed that it was a mere ebulition of personal spite.
 Moreover, the people have indicated at the late elections their dislike of extreme measures. In the matters of impeachment, and of Acknowledgement of Southern reb- els, we hope Congress will act with the ut- most moderation consistent with the safety of the country. Impartial Suffrage we cannot yield, for that is the corner stone of the Republican faith but on matters of mere temporary importance, we shall do well to run no risks. With common pru- dence and caution, we are sure of success in 1868, and with that success, Impartial Suffrage will be so firmly fixed, that Con- servatism can never shake it.

WoODBURY.


 Several months since m article which went the the rounds of our state papers, enumerated the game captured by Mir. Cook, we'll known hunter of Torrington, and said article closed little tauntinglv, with an enquiry, ''Where is Horace Isbell of Woodbury?" By reading the following the enquiring one can see where he is, and what he has been doing the past three score and twelve years. He started i'll life without penny; neither did he owe one; and he has acted upon the principle "Owe no man anything" He has raised eleven respectfully settled ill life, and, by his in- dustry and frugality, has acquired com petence so that he can spend his few re- maining years in comparative ease; and, as he has ever believed that if he did not provide we'll for his own house he would be more than an infidel, he has not per- mitted his search for game to interfere with duties he owed his family and the community about him. But let us look at the record, in part, of his captured game.
 Foxes, 1425; Coons, 300; Minks, 200; Otters 3; Chimney Swallows HOO; which were taken at one time from one chimney. He killed B Blackbirds, which were run ming on thu ground, at one shot, Also eleven full grown water snakes at one shot, the snakes being wound together and their heads forming a compact bunch about as large as mans fist. The remainder of game taken by him is almost countless, and hence it is omitted. MT. l. although seventy two years of age, is quite active, and spends occasionally day at his favor ite recreation. Recently on two different days, he has returned bringing three lusty coons each time, and only the other day he laid low a fox which was running at high speed. He would be glad to entertain his brother Cook at his house, and says if he will call on him he will initiate him into the mysteries of successful hunting.

THE WISH.

In some sequestered grove.
An humble cot be my retreat.
The scene of peace and love.
Around my little cottage door
The passion flower should twine.
The low matched roof all covered DER

But what were such gay scenes to me,
Nay. all the world beside.
Without the one loved, to he
Ny bosom friend-my guide.
Give me but this-I ask no more,
Nor envy courtly state,
n equipage should at my door
In pomp0us splendOr wait.
With such should, we'll pleas'd, behold
The rosy morn appear,
The sun resplendently unfold
The beauties OF the sphere.
Well pleased to watch tie day decline
Beyond the iliumin'd west;
And view the scene, almost divine,
Sink pcnsively to rest.
My morning pray'r, wo'dst Thou receive
Oh, God. should rise to Thee;
The lifting of my hands at eve
a sacrifice should be.
Thus happily i'll this lone dale,
I'd spend youths brightest bloom;
Thus tranquil. journey down lifi,'s vale
And sink into the tomb.
