the arrival, and now we have countless
thousands, Our information from San An
tonic and Austin is that they have destroy

hoped that their stay in this section will be
very brief We understand farmers on the
west side of the river In this county have
stopped sowing wheat in consequence Of
their appearance, If they tarry long we
fear they will greatly interfere with the
farming interest.

"BEHoLD HOW BRIGHTLY BREAKS TM1
MoRNING."- returns of The election in
Pennsylvania and Ohio, will be read with
interest, and swell the heart with exultant
emotions of pleasure, of every true lover
of the constitution and the country. The
sober. second thought of the people in the
North seems to be giving evidence of re-
turn to the old safeguards of the country
"a strict construction. of constitutional
law. Our dispatches are as yet rather
meagre, but they are sufficient to show that
Pennsylvania has gone Democratic by from
five to nine thousand. In Ohio the Demo-
Gratis have gained the Legislature, and pro-
badly elected the Governor, and there are
large democratic gains in Iowa. This is
enough for the present. The ball will keep
rolling, and ere long we hope, and believe
we will record complete revolution in the
politial complexion of the entire North.

city on on the 10th inst. He had previous.
" lost three children from the same dis
ease. The Telegraph says
"On Sunday morning last he called on
the editor of this paper and asked him to
90 home with him and see his sick. We
agreed to 60, but just then the last member
of our family, unaoclimated, rode up, hav-

country, and complained Of being uuwell
1t was yellow fever. Of course we could
not leave. Ever since we have heard that
Col. Diamond was doing well; consequent

He leaves large and very helpless fam
lily. Although he had lost three children,
several more remain, besides the orphans
of one or two of his brothers who died in
the army in Georgia. The past dreadfully
profitless business season had well broken
down his newspaper; his means were ex-
haused his family sick and three OF them
dead, he took sick and soon followed. He
had toiled with uncomfortable energy to

HEINITSHS CELEBRATED
GERMAN HORSE POWDER
For all Diseases to which a Horse is Liable.

HNHE various diseases to which that no.
Il bio and useful animal, the horse, is
subject, and the little knowledge that is
known of them by farricrs and ignorant
ostlcrs, have occasioned many remedies to
bo offered to the public under different
forms, with high cncomiums, and sane
toned by dignitied names. Some of these
are injurious; others, at best, of little use,
and many entirely worthless, and do not
meet the want. 4 good medicine, free
from objections of this kind, has long been
desired by many gentlemen who have va
mablo horses. We therefore offer tho only
good medicine-the true GERMAN
HORSE POWDER" which has proved so
cfficacious in all tho diseases. 1t is pre-
pared from the original recipe of DR.. Hci-
nitsh of Germany. It's extraordinary viz
tues arc attcsted to by thousands, and for
fifty years has stood, and still stands, first
IN the estimation of all experienced farm
ers and agriculturists as the best medicine
for the horse. 1t is recommended for
horses foundcrcd by eating to excess or
drinking cold water when heated, to such
as have symptoms Of glandcrs or arc ex-
posed to the infection by being with other
horses, for indigestion, distempcr, hide
bound, drowsiness, loss of appetite, inward
sprains, debility, wasting of flesh, sore
eyes, swelled legs, grease, mango, surfcit,
OLD coughs, for exhaustion from work. 1t
carries off all foul humors, purifics and
cool5 the blood, and prevents horses be-
coming stiff and foundercd. 1t is stimu-
lus for weak stomachs, and renders the
limbs and skin soft and fine, giving q
smooth coat to the hair. Ask for "Hc-

April.

Aprus
Oh, gladdening is the vernal time,
When buds expand and gay birds sing,
airs tbat 1nt sVn1 minstrsls ne
And nature speaks in words sublime
From the melodious lips Of spring.
Now, meath the suns inspiring rays,
The grasses spread in emerald sheen;
The streams, unlocked, resume their ways
Through valleys Of enchanting green,
And all the mild, auspicious days
Pour benedictions on the scene.
The cowslips spangle all the mead,
In affluence of green and gold;
The sweet anemoncs, snow-freed,
SWING Joyous censors manifold,
And violets the summons heed
That calls them from their secret hold.
The farmer with his heart aglow,
Turns the rich sward with hopo and
trust;
he sees, in faith, tho herbage grow
In beauty from tho teeming dust;
He heeds the promise of the bow
Set in the cloud by Ono ADJUST.
Feeling that, though man SOW tho grain,
The increase is alone with Him
Who sends the sunshine and the rain,
To work in earth's recesses dim;
Crowning with bounteous wealth tho plain,
And glorifying leaf and limb.
The blood asserts kindlier sway,
And quicker pours through swollen veins,
It's torpid dullness giving way,
As ice before the vernal rains:
The genial attributes have play,
And healthful happiness obtains.
We welcome, with gladsomo heart,
The dawn Of Aprils natal day;
For though, with coquettish art,
She triaes with our hope Away,
We see with her the germs upstart
That culminate in flowers Of May,
And as we feel the genial air,
Our brow with grateful touch invest.
The spring time affluence we share,
And breathe one hope above the rest,
That time and worldliness may spare
The hope of summer in the breast.
