The following is from tho LaGrange
Reporter. We tender our sympathy to
tho bereaved parents:
"And q littlo child shall lead them."
There is a melancholy pleasure in tho
grief Of our loved and lost. There is a
sweotucss in the remcmbrancos we cher
ish for the idols of our hearts when they
have perished from our sight. The mind
naturally clings, with fond affection, to
the memory of fallthey did in life. The
little child that has wound itself around
our hearts by the thousand sweet little
incidents os its life, sc much so that its
very existence seems part of our own,
and is then taken from our fond rclnem.
brances forever, we feel that there is q
snnctihcation in treesuring up, in affec-
tion's sweetest memories, the touching
story Of that short existence. All other
thoughts seem profano in the freshness
of such new grief.

The Gazette Of last evening has the following
items:
FAIRFAX VIGILANCE SocrKrY.-As an evil
dence Oh the activity and vigilance of this pro-
tective society in the recovery of the staien
property OF its members, 1t may be stated that
through the prompt action of the society, a val
liable mare, stolen from A. q. FOLSOM esh.. last
Friday night, was recovered, and the thief
captured at Gettysburg, Pa, and secured in
jail. But for the fact that the thief had a start
OF twenty-four hours, his capture would have
been still more speedily accomplished, and his
punishment perhaps equally as summary.
THE BAsTARDY CAsE.-In the case of Ad-
son Blackburn, charged with being the father
o bastard child, and sentenced, by the Cor
por alton Court to imprisonment until he gives
ond, with sufficient security, in the sum of
