The father of his country was conscientiou.
in the discharge of every duty as citizen,
and never failed to vote. The last occasion
of his doing so was in the spring of 1899, in
the town of Alexandria. He died on the lth
Of December following. The court house oil
Fairfax county was then over the old marke ct
house, and Immediately fronting Gladly s
tavern. The entrance into 1t was by a slight
flight of crazy steps on the outside, and while
the election was progressing-several thous.
snds of persons being assembled around the
the polls-W ashington drove up in his old
and we'll known carriage. The crowd spon>
taneously gave way and made lane for him

Gladly Is door, saw eight or ten good looking
men Immediately spring forward and follow
the General up the steps. in order TO uphold
and support him if necessary. According TO
the custom on that time. the FIVE or six eandi-
dates were sitting on the bench, who rose in
a body and bowed profoundly on the entrance
Of Washington. Very gracefully returning
their salutation, the register of the polls said;
'Well General how do you voter (It was
then by rird roce He looked moment at

The vast bodies of snow which have fallen
during the present winter in the Eastern,
Middle, Western and even Southwestern
States, are deemed to be one of the sures,
and best promises of fruitful season in the
year 1867. II is peculiarly valuable to the
winter sown wheat. and the farmer, we nigh,
say every one, knows that the snow contains
certain gases and acids which add immensely
to the fertility of the soil. II is common
remark among aged people that snow storm
at the approach of spring is as good a. q top
dressing OF manure over the whole land.
Fast bodies of snow have fallen during the
present winter-more enormous than in thir-
~ years. IL is estimated by a careful calcu-
lation, that the gwen depth in various nor.
tons OF the Western and Middle States, that
one million four hundred and ten thousand
tons OF snow fell in single storm in the
month OF January. Bot as we have had re-
pested snow storms since then, extending all
through the month of February, it is not I'm.
safe to estimate that over three million tons
Of snow have fallen during the current win
ter, and IL this is as good Is manure, We eau
sti appreciate what the soil 10 now raining.

! The traitors of the South who fought four
long years TO destroy the Union and the Con
stitution, are just now very loud in their
| lamentations over the fact that others have
destroyeda, as they assert. The passage Of
the reconstruction bill does the deed which
they failed to do with all their sacrifice of
blood and treason, and they are inconsolable
over the event. We give specimen from
the Vickshurg Herald;
owe do not hesitate to say that the passage oi
this bill will amount to a total destruction ofthc
Federal Union. The federal character Of the Gov
eminent will be swept away, and the liberties Of
the American people become the prey Of malig-
nsnt and inscriptions cabslat Washington.
"The first attempt made TO set up the mach merry
in the South created by this destructive measure,
will bring about financial hurricane at the North,
which will involve that portion Of the Union in
troubles and difficulties equal, if not greater than
it will produce in the South.
"Ihe only hope now left for free institutions on
this continent lies in the power and duty of the
Supreme Court to declare this nefsrious lcgisls-
tion unconstitutional and void"

REPORT ON THE SOUTH cAroLrr.
MuRDERa.

The Southern papers and their Northern
Democratic allies object to the competency Of
the testimony borne by newspaper CORES
pondents, as to the state of affairs in the
South. These protest against copdemning
whole people on the newspaper statements
Of anonymous writers. We will not argue
this matter now. In the report OF the
House Committee that investigated the muir.
der OF Union soldiers in South Carolina last
fall, there Is given the testimony of Gems
sickles, scho6eld, Baird, Wood and Thomas.
These are certainly responsible witnesses. In
the case investigated three Union soldiers
had been murdered at Browns Ferry, s. c..
IN cold blood. II was not claimed that tbev
bad been guilty Of any offence, other than
tnss OF wearing the uniform Of the Uuited
States. -Four men we're arrested for the
crime, and BY order Of Gen. Sickle. were
tired before military commission. Th.v
were found guilty ard two of them sentenced
TO be hung, and two Of them TO life imprison
ment. The matter was brought to the aiten.
ton Of Andrew johnson. Il was uree3 Tia,
their trial con,raveued his Reconstruction
Policy. The President committed the two
death sentences TO imprisonment for life a.

the prisoners were removed to Fort Delaware.
and there the eommandant, Col. Howard.
was served with writ ofhabeas corpus from
Judge Hall of th' nited States District Coprt
of Delaware, wa he was instructed from
Washington to ob', A hearing was had and
the prisoners were charged, on the ground
that at the time he trial of the murderers

We yesterday received the following letter

"DEAR SIR:-There has been a gold min.
discovered in Crittenden county, one and q

which has created some considerable excite,
ment. Some specimens Of the ore have
been tested with acids, which had no efieci

"The gold was found on Mr.. John Viii,

They have put up notices forbidding any one
working on the land. They have laid off lots

$40, 900.
while digging for gold the hands discov-

But Jack was destined to get pref
ty thoroughly cooled off before he met
the object of his wrath. AS he ap-
preached the bridge that spanned the
river just below the falls, he heard
loud cries of alarm, and upon hurry
ing forward he found that boy had
fallen from one Of the projecting tim
bers into the water. He looked over
the railing and saw the little fellow
just coming to the surface of the foam
ing, boiling food-a curley headed
boy, just about the age of his own dar-
ling Freddy-stretching forth his tiny
arms in an agony of despair. 1t was
a terrible place, that seething, roaring
pool, where the waters of the great
river came pouring down from the high
dam; but Jack did not hesitate, he
forgot his enemy-forgot everything
but the danger of the little one
and only stopping to kick off his
boots and throw aside his coat, he
leaped down into the angry flood
He caught the boy in his arms and
then struck out for the shore. 1t
was a mighty conflict, but the strong
man persevered. More than once
those who had gathered upon the
rocks had reason to fear that neither
the man nor the child would come
forth alive; but j &C k held his own
against the mad torrent, and finally
reached the shore, where many hands
were ready to help him. AS for him
self, a few minutes rest so far restored
him that he was able to walk; and he
had sustained no injury save a few
trifing bruises. And as for the boy,
he had come forth in safety, for Jack
had held him high above the water
during all the time of his struggle.
And when Jack Sprout had regain
ed his breath, and was able to speak,
he looked to see the boy he had saved,
and he saw that it was Andy Gordon,
a bright eyed, curly haired, red faced
boy, not a year older than was his son
Freddy.
Where's papa?" asked the drip
ping child.
"He'S coming" answered some one
in the crowd.
Jack looked up and saw Solomon
Gordon coming-Solomon, pale and
terror stricken-and with all possible
haste he seized his coat and boots, and
hurried away. He could not meet
! Gordon then.

body. He who bestows it is as much
blessed as he who receives it."
And then the wife, with her arm
placed around her husbands neck,
gently said:
"Dear Jack, wouldn't we both be
happier if we would try to live by the
blessed rules laid down by our Savior
oh, [ know that they were given by
One who sought our highest good, and
| think we should find joy in trying
to square our lives by the golden

POTATO PLANTING:-Mr. Brown OF
Long Island. has recently published
an interesting experiment touching the
but ends and seed ends of potatoes.
Last spring he planted four rows of
equal length, of two varieties of po-
tatoes. In one row, with each varie-
ty, he planted only the "seed ends"
Of the potato; in the other, the oppo-
site, or &C but ends" These were the
pink eyes and the peach blows. The
yield was as follows: Pink eyes, but
ends, 217 pounds; seed ends, l7O
pounds; peach blows, seed ends, It's
pounds. The potatoes raised from
the but ends were much larger than
those raised from the seed ends, and
appeared to be from a week to ten
DAYS earlier. Had the whole field
been planted with but ends, the yield
would have been more than 500 bush
els to the Wisconsin, Farmer.
