EYE PUT OUT.-We learned, last
evening, that pupil in the German
school, while playing with number of
his comrades, near said institution, had
one of his eyes put out. He was struck
with stone carelessly thrown by one
of his playmates.

REJolCING.-Our Republican friends
had great jubilee over the Maine cleo
tion on yesterday evening. Cannons
were fred and other demonstrations OF
joy. If they can afford to rejoice over
such loss as they have actually sus-
tanned, let them do so. 1t is like Nero
fiddling while Rome was on fire.

The Printers Hohenlinden.

In seasons when our funds are low,
Subscribers are provoking slow,
A few supplies Keep up the flow
OF dimes departing rapidly.
But we shall see a sadder sight,
When drums pour in from mourn to night
Commanding every sixpence bright
10 be forked over speedily.
Our bonds and due-bills are arrayed,
Each seal and signature displayed:
The holders vow they must be paid,
With threats of law and chancery.
Then to despair we re almost driven,
There's precious little use of Twin,
When our last copper's rudely riven
From hands that held it lovingly.
But larger yet those dues shall grow,
When interests added on below,
Length ming our chain a foot or so,
When gazing at them hopelessly.
IT'S so, that scarce have we begun
To plead for time upon dun,
Before there comes another one,
Demanding pay ferociously.
The prospect dsrkens-on. We brave
Who would our very bacon save;
Waive, patrons, all your pretexts waive,
And pay the Printer cheerfully.
All it would yield US pleasure sweet,
A few delinquents now to meet
Asking of US clear receipt
For papers taken reg larry.
