across the Potomac, it is stated, is q very shaky
affair One of the workmen recently employed
in repairing the Long Bridge states that when
trains cross the bridge it has very perceptlbIe

stated to be that at this point no solid bottom
has ever been reached by piles. We presume

conference in Richmond, over which Wilson
presided, as victory for Bolts and Pelrpont:
and as ''ensuring the defeat of the Hunnlcutt

Of what has taken place, and of the avowed

SHARP SHOOTING. AT a County Court,
held not a hundred miles from this city, a
DISTINGUISHED member of the bar in appealing
to the Court for the discharge of his client,
wound up with the statement that if the Court
sent him on for further trial, a stain would BE-
left upon his character that could not be wash
ed off "by all the waters OF blue ocean, and all
the soap that could be manufactured from the
ponderous carcass of the Commonwealth
! ttornev." To this, the ponderous Attorney
promptly replied that, while he deemed it
foreign to the case at bar, he desired to
advise the Court if they thought it advisable
to boil his body into soap, that they should
look to the opposite counsel for the eoncentra
bar and spectators exploded, and our inform
ant knoweth nothing more even Do".-Lg'1'eh-

Ever may innocence sleep in thy eyes
Faultless and fair as sun in the skies
Fling from thy heart the bright spray of soul
managed in God-His love thy control.
Envy may it love never reach thee
Moving thro life as star DER the sea
On thy fair brow as those gay tresses fling
Over thy features the light of their wing
Remembrance sleeps on calm memorys breast
Each thu oh of its love the pulse of its rest.
Come, if sorrow should touch thee love, come
Round thee shall fall inspiration Of home
On thee shall slumber dreams never to part
Cherished and sealed within this fond heart.
Kindred and friends pay their homage to thee
Whose love lights the ruins Of lost Liberty.
Emblem of purity, gentle and free
Long may sweet angel light hallow thy brow
Long may'st thou live and be happy as now
