DECORATING THE GRAVES OF THE
DEAD SOLDIERS. Saturday, the 29th OF
May, it will be remembered by our citi-
zens, is the day selected for decorating
the graves of the dead soldiers of thia
city. The occasion promises to be a
grand floral offering. This ceremony
is not new or novel, but is one which
has been transmitted from the earliest
ages by the Roman, Grecian, Teutonlc
and English example. The memory
of the heroic dead has ever been re-
spected in civilized communities
Flowers are natural tributes Of sorrow,
emblems of affection, testimonials Ofre-
membrane. We deck with them the
affairs of our religion ; we garland with
them the bride OF our choice; we encir-
Gle with them the cradle of our latest
born we garnish with them the sane
tuaries of home-why should we not
scatter Them on the graves of the loved
and lost. and invest even the cold sep
ulchre with faithful symbols of hope
and Immortality ? To the living war
riors who return to us, scathed, or I'M
scathed, from the perilous edge of bat
tie, we have ten thousands ways of
manifesting our affection and graft
tude; we may grasp them by the hand !;
we may embrace them in our arms we
may enfold them to our bosom we
may enrich and adorn their lives with
pure munifcence we may rear for
them palaces and hospitals we may
decorate them with honors; we may
elevate them to a position so exalted
that they will command the respect
and veneration of mankind All this
and more, with fervid hearts, with gen
erous hands, we may do for the living.
But for the dead, the martyrs, who
gave their noble lives for their country,
let us scatter with prodigal hand upon
their graves the significant mementoes
of sorrow and affection. The cere-
monies should be characterized by sub
dued sorrow which true affection al
ways suggests.

ToUIsANT L'OvERTURE.-The Hon.
John Davidson delivered an eloquent
lecture last evening in the Washington
street Church on Touisant LOverture,
the iberator of Hayti.
The Church was filed with an inter
ested and attentive audience, who fire.
quently interrupted the lecturer with APP
plause, as he portrayed in an eloquent
and able manner the heroism and gen.
eralship of Touisant l. Overture in fight
ing for the freedom Of his native land
against the English and French how he
withstood all temptations to desert his
countrymen in their hour of trial. The
speaker told of the cowardly manner IL
which Napoleon had Touisant arrested
how he had him enticed through Offer
of friendship, TO the private residence
of one of Napoleon's Generals, and while
there cansed his arrest He was imme
diately carried on ship-board and takeI
to France, where by degrees Napoleon
starved him to death in the coolest dun
geon of all France. This was caused b,
the jealousy of Napoleon who could no
bear that another should outshine hin
in his deeds Of glory, and especial.
when that other was colored man
and once a slave.
The speaker closed his lecture in al
eloquent manner, by declaring that fa
above the names of Napoleon, Crom
well, and others of that class would b,
written by the historic pen the name o
Touisant L'Overture.

BOGUS ADVERTISING MEDIUMS.

BOGUS ADVERTISING MEDIUMS.
There are numbers of merchants in
this erterprising city to-day who do.not
advertise but have tried the experiment
at some time. Although it has proved
an advantage to every one and for
tune to many who have tried it, til; re
are mean men without number who
would as soon throw money into the
street as pay for an advertisement.
They have tried advertising, they say,
and they reaped no benefit from it. 1t
doesn't pay. And why not ? Because
they have overlooked the legitimate
channel of communication with thepub-
lie. the columns of we'll circulated news
papers, and gone into some novelty,
something gotten to stake in, "
Just such people as avoid newspapers.
This class of men subscribe for thous
and envelopes with cards printed on he
back, and they say "That is a good
advertisement, and expect an immedi-
ate rush of customers after the first en-
velope is sent by mail. They forget
that nearly all correspondence of mer-
chants is with other merchants ut dis
lance, and that the envelope is thrown
into the waste basket as soon as recei1-
ed. Besides, it takes probably year
before the ten thousand envelopes are
used and the ten thousand hands,
while any daily newspaper will send
the same card into fifty to hundred
thousand households during the year
for the same price.
Then some one conceives the idea of
a frame with painted cards arranged

HEAVY LOSSES TO FARMERS.

On Sunday afte rnoon last heavy rain.
accompanied by slight sprinkling of hail,
passed over this city, doing however no
| damage of which we have heard in this To-
cality. But the towns of Mineral Point,
Waldwick, and the town of Willow Springs
in La Fayette county, were less fortunate.
We learn that from 81 to miles southeast
of the city, the fury of the storm is such as
| is seldom witnessed in this latitude In
one of the ravines leading to Otter Creek
the farmers suffered severely
William Walker, of the town of Willow
Springs, lost 20 pigs, sheep, tons of hay
and large portion of his fence-all swept
away by the food. A number of bead of
cattle were saved with great difficulty. At
one time Mr.. Walker himself was in emf
nent danger of similar fate, but fortunate
ly escaped from the liquid element
Peter Noble, of the same town, lost about
$500 in fences, &c.
James Bfacken, also of Willow Springs,
lost many.fence. rails and stone fence of
Jack Mobiles was also swept away
In the town of Mineral Point E. ]. Ev-
ans lost about 1000 rails !; and VIM. Mar
tin and Elijah Lieurance were also losers
in similar manner
Flows. Harrows, &C., left in the fields
were swept away; and much wheat, recent
ly sown, was washed away, and will require
to be again sown.
We also learn that the grist mill, known
as Coxs Mill, on Otter Greek, was..materi-
ally damaged; and the saw will, in the same
locality entirely swept away.
We have no doubt much other damage
was done in other localities, but we have
not had reports. On the whole the storm
was one of the most terrific ever known in
this vicinity.
