Sigh Of the Broken Heart.

nY AN AMERICAN PoET.
Never. as I have loved tn Q,
Shalt thou be loved again;
With affections deep, uuchangmg,
Through time, and grief, and pain.
None shall Ger watch above thee
With such tonder care
With such unwearicd visils,
Such patient hope and prayer!
Never, as / have known thee,
Shalt thou again be known;
l studied every feature,
ponder d every tone
Thy frank and joyous bearing,
Thy glad and open smile,
Shall seem, to hollow spirits,
The mark of perfect guile.
Yet, if the love gave thee
And if the faith divine
Have added but a moment
To happiness of thine,
1 shall not at all regret them
Nor deem those offerings vain,
Which leave my own existence
A bleak and barren plain.

This statement shows that in eight
years, preceding the 1st July last, we
actually paid, for expenses of army and
navy, pensions, bounties and interest in
excess of ordinary times, 81 ,630, ,269, ,974
81, that is beyond and besides the ordi
nary expenses of government.
This is an immense achievement and
if the same prodigious effort was coutin-
ucd, would pay off the debt in twelve
years or more. But the Republican
Congress has wisely judged it better to
abate the heavy taxes of the war period
and to reduce the burdens so nobly borne
by the people then, to an amount suffic-
lent to pay the interest on the public
debt and the ordinary expenses of the
Government, with small surplus for a
sinking fund.
For the prodigious expenditure caused
by the rebellion, the Democratic party is
responsible. The whole cost of the war,
over four thousand millions of dollars. is
directly chargeable to that party. For
the great effort of national self-sacrifce
which in eight years paid off from the
proceeds of taxation over two-ffths of
the immense war debt, the credit belongs
wholly to the Republican party, of whose
vigorous and provident policy it was the
fruit Oregon1an.

BLAIR COUNTY "A melancholy accident
occurred on Saturday afternoon Oct. lst, in
Fraukstown township, in which Mr. Daniel
Null unfortunately lost his life. He was in
a field drilling grain, and not coming home
in the evening his wife became alarmed and
made search for him, but rot finding him.
she got several of the neighbors to search
him, when his remains were found in the
- Il Il.
machine, bis face mashed and his neck sup
posed to be broken. 1t is thought he took
fit, to which he was subject, and fell with
his head in the wheel He was found but
a few feet from the scene of the accident,
the horses having stopped. His death must
have been instantaneous. Mr.. Null was an
estimable citizen, universally respected. He
leaves a wife and two children, and his sad
death is deplored by many friends. Mr..
Joseph Geesey, an aged citizen of Franks
town, met with a very severe accident on
Sunday morning, October End. Mr.. Geesey
had got out of bed, intending to go down
stairs and get drink of water. Instead of
opening the door 1T the head of the kitchen
stairway, he unfortunately opened one over
the basement cellar, and to which no stairs
were attached. He instantly fell to the
basement, and in his fall struck an iron hoop
lying upon the top of keg. A portion of
his no, e and the entire upper lip were com
pletely severed from his face, and his upper
jaw broken. Surgical assistance was imme-
diateiy summoned, and his injuries properly
attended to-the jaw reset, and the nose
and lip sewed on again. Owing to his ex-
treme age, about 20 years, Mr. Geesey's
injuries will be very severe upon him, and
We learn that his friends are very doubtful
of his recovery. The Blair county Ag-
ricultural Fair was decided success. The
Altoona Park Association Fair, was all that
its projectors anticipated-a complete sue
cess in all its details.

retaries, T. Dale and w II. Shirey.
The object OF the meeting was then sta
ted in brief but appropriate manner by
the President, and A. A. Adams, ESQ.,, was
introduced to the audience. Mr. AS re-
marks were confined principally to the rec
ords OF the two candidates for Gubernatorial
donors; and, though it was his first attempt,
he did credit to himself and the cause for
which he spoke. At the conclusion of Mr.
AS remarks, T. H. Murray, Esq, was call
cd upon. who, with fiuency of speech and
fulne.s of ideas, spread before his hearers
the great prin ciplea of the Republican party.
He showed the distinction between the two
parties-the progress of the one and the
decline of the other He discussed the l5t h
Amendment, explained the tax question, al
iuded TO the pardOnlug TOwcr which Gov.
Geary has been charged with abusing by the
enemy, and rehearsed the career Of Geary
and Packer.

THE REASON WHY.-The reason why
T.. Mayer in Jobrstown, sells so many more
goods than all of his competitors is because
his stock is much larger than all others, and
his prices way down lower than other mer-
chants We advise everybody who wants a
good article of goods to give this house call
before going to any other.
