tary: John G. Guyther Treasurer; Willis

tive Committee.

an important auxiliary in adding strength
and efficiency to the party, and in rolling up
tremendous majority for the success Of the
grand Republican party in coming elections.
If you deem this. worthy Of insertion in
your valuable journal, you can insert it. with
q request that the Newbern Republicdn and

THE DANGER OF DIvMG.-On Sunday
last young man named Cox, employed as q
coal passer on the steamer Naushon, jumped
from her deck head foremost into the water
at Coney Island. On coming to the surface
he remained motionless, which attracted the
attention of several persons on board, who
secured the body and drew it on shore. It
appears that the water was only seven feet
in depth, and Cox, striking his head with
, full force upon the compact sandy bottom,
dislocated his neck. causing instant death

At Appleton's, says the Round Table, may
be seen very curious and interesting relic
of pre-revolutionary times in the shape of
formal remuneration of beliefin the doctrine
of transubstantiation, which justices of the
peace were made to subscribe in Virginia
before receiving their commissions. At
tached to the document are about forty sig
natures, comprising many of the foremost
names of the colony. There are two of
Washington's clear, bold autographs, show
ing that he twice held the worshipful Office
of Justice, one under date of September 81,
1868, and the other July 16, ITO. Bryan
Fairfax and Edward Payne appear to have
been similarly honored, as also George Ma
son, one of the delegates chosen by the Gen
eral Assembly to attend the convention at
Philadelphia. Then are John Carlyle and
Augustus Darrell and Henry Gunnel, and
many others of the F. F. VS. whose names
are still literally household words in the Old
Dominion; and one John Atcheson, repre-
sented unworthily by his mark.

A benefit for the Southern sufferers was
given at the Theater Royal, Montreal, on
the 18th. Sheridan's Rivals was played,
and jeff Davis and family appeared at the
close of the first act. The audience cheered
him enthusiastically; the Bonny Blue Flag
and Dixie were played, and confusion was
kept up for half an hour. The New YORK
Herald correspondent, who claims to have
sat very near JEFF, says that he wore suit of
plain black, and during the evening dangled
a broad brimmed white felt hat on slen-
der yellow cane. His hair and beard
are fast turning white. His face was bag
gard and careworn, while his entire looks
and demeanor showed an old and broken
down man. Not even the wild cheering OF
the crowd moved him to smiles, and it was
not until the play drew toward its close that
his face showed pleasurable emotion. He
held no conversation, and only barely an
swered questions that were asked him, or
took some friend by the hand who CHANGED
to present himself Davis demeanor is that
of defeated plotter and crushed out pub
lie villain Remorse of conscience, more
terrible than death itself, seems depicted
upon every linament. The really most excl
ting scene was not, however enacted at the
theater. At the close of the last piece Mr..
Davis and his family left the dress circle,
passed out at the main entrance and entered
the carriage in waiting. A large crowd had
gathered at the door and gave him three
deafening cheers. Just as the carriage was
leaving an unknown person, observed only
by few, stepped up and handed Mr.. Davis
a note, which he carried to his home. Com
ing to the light it was opened and found to
contain the single word, written in bold
hand, Andersonville" This, it is said,
went like dagger to his heart, and for
some time his home was the scene of the
greatest CONSERVATION. The ladies scream

When Nature had made all her birds,
And had no cares to think on,
She gave ripping laugh-and out
There flew Bobolinkon.
She laughed again,-out flew mate;
A breeze of Eden bore them
Across the fields of Paradise,
The sunrise reddening DER them.
Incarnate sport and holiday,
They flew and sang forever;
Their souls through June were all in tune,
Their wings were weary never.
The blithest song of breezy farms,
Ouaintest of feld-note favors,
Exhaustless fount of trembling trills
And denisemiquavers.
Their tribe, still drunk with air and light
And perfume of the meadow,
Go reeling up and down the sky,
In sunshine and in shadow.
Ono springs from out the dew-wet grass,
Another follows after;
The morn is thrilling with their songs
And peals of fairy laughter.
From out the marshes and the brook,
They set the tall reeds swinging,
And meet and frolic in the air,
Half prattling and half singing.
When morning winds sweep meadow lands
II, r,raan aD1 rucset pillows
And toss the lonely elm-tree's boughs,
And silver all the willows,
see you buffeting the breeze,
Or with its motion swaying,
Your notes half drowned against the wind,
Or down the current playing.
When far away DER grassy flats,
Where the thick wood commences,
The white-sleeved mowers look like specks
Beyond the zigzag fences,
And noon is hot, and barn-roofs CLEAN
White in the pale-blue distance,
l hear the saucy minstrels still
In chattering persistence.
When Eve her domes of opal fire
Piles round the blue horizon,
Or thunder rolls from hill to hill
A Kyrie Eleison,-
Still, merriest of the merry birds,
Your sparkle is unfading,-
Pied harlequins of June, no end
Of song and masquerading.
What cadences of bubbling mirth
Too quick for bar or rythml
WI at ecstasies, too full to keep
Coherent measure with them
o could l share, without champagne
Or muscadel, you frolic,
The glad delirium of your joy,
Your fun un-apostolic
Your drunken jargon through the fields,
Your bobolinkish gable,
Your fine anacreontic glee,
Your tipsy jewellers babble
Nay,-let me not profane such joy
With SMILES of folly
No wine of earth could waken songs
So dellcately jolly!
o boundless self-contentment, voiced
In flying air-b born bubbles -
Ojoy that mocks our sad unrest,
And browns our earth-born troubles
Hope springs with you 1 dread no more
Respondency and dullness;
For Good Supreme can never fail
That gives such perfect fullness.
The Life that floods the happy fields
With song and light and color,
Will shape our lives to richer states,
And heap our measures fuller.

In consequence of the surplus of labor in
some sections, and the great demand in 9th
ers, it becomes apparent that some method
should be inagurated for more equal dis
tribution of the same; to this end officers
and agents. will provide themselves with
register, and record all applications of en-
ployment desired, and laborers wanted, so
that such wants may be supplied either at
the local station, or from distant parts of
the State. The record will show sex, age,
color, and nature of employment desired; if
it is skilled labor it will be specifically
stated. At the end of every ten days, a list
ofthose still unemployed will be furnished
these Headquarters. Reports of those wish
ing to engage laborers will be forwarded at
the same time, giving particulars as to kind
of labor wanted, with price, to be paid, &c.

A Teu,on Take. a Dish Of Ice Cream

A Teuton Takes n Dish Of Ice Cream.
A day or two since a German, fresh
''from the old sod" in passing the ice
cream and confectionery establishment
of Mr.. Charles Behler, on Monroe street,
was induced, by the gay display of good
things in the windows, to enter and
make some purchases. After buying
various sweetmeats, he stated-in Ger
man, of course-that he had heard a
great deal of talk about the excellence
of ice cream, and he believed he would
take some" The stranger was polite
ly invited to seat, and large dish of
cream was placed before him. The leu
ton, not liking the size of the spoon,
picked up large table spoon that hap
pened to be lying upon the table, and
taking thereon quantity of ice cream
larger than q goose-egg, downed the
whole at swallow. In an instant he
looked wildly into the face of Mr.. Beh-
Ter, jumped up from the table, with his
two hands convulsively grasping the
fore part of his back, and started for
the street shouting at the top of his
voice, Mine Cot, mine Cot, my hedt-
I'm pizendt." The Tuetonic ice cream
list was finally induced to go back into
the store, when the gentlemaBly pro-
prietor informed him that he mnst not
take such large mouthsful, etc. He
stated that he had not time to sit and
nibbie at that "stuff" all the afternoon.
There was about one more spoonful left
in the dish, and after expressing his sur
prise at the tastes of the American peo-
pie, he asked the proprietor "shust TO
roll the rest of dem up nit paper and
he would take dem to the children 1t
