A correspondent of the Wing writes that
Mr.. Samuel Kimball, of Patten, was out in
the woods one day last week, when he found
an old pine log which he cut into to see if it
was sound. He found that it was not sound,
but he heard a sound inside, and had hardly
time to get to the end Of the log before he saw
an old she bear just coming out. He gave
her blow on the head with his axe, and was
about pulling her out when he was surprised
to see two large cubs just back Of their mother.
He pulled the old one out and was despatch
ing the cubs, when out jumped another old
bear which. before Mr.. Kimball could finish
the the young ones, made good his escape.
Mr.. Kimball gets SIS bounty besides the skins
and meat of the three bears.

BEAUTIFUL CHILD.
by MAJOR WILLIAM A. II. sIGoURSEY.
AuLl.or oC"Bedlltifiil lSpOlU."


Beautiful child by thy mothers knee,
In the mystic future what wilt thou be7
I A demon Of sin. or an angel sublime
A poison Upas or innocent Thyme
A spirit OF evil flashing dOtcn
With the lurid light Of fiery crown
Or gliding up with shining track,
Like the morning star that ne'er looks back
Daintest dreamer that ever smiled,
Which wilt thou be, my beautiful child7
Beautiful child in my garden bowers,
Friend of the butterflies. birds and flowers
Pure as the sparkling, crystalline stream,
Jewels of truth in their fairy eyes beam,
Was there evera whittier soul than thine
Worshiped by Love in a mortal shrine?
My heart hast thou gladdened for two sweet
with rainbows OF Hope through mists Of
tears
Mists beyond which thy sunny smile
With its halo OF glory beams all the while.
Beautiful child, to thy look is given
A gleam serene, not OF earth, but ofheaven.
With thy tell-tale eyes and pratling tongue,
Would thou couldst ever thus be young.
Like the liquid strain Of the mocking- bird,
From stair to hall thy voice is heard,
How oft in the garden hooks thou'rt found
With flowers thy curly bead around!
And kneeling beside me with fingers so
quaint,
ON who would not dote on my infant saint?
Beautiful child. what thy fate shall be
Perchance is wisely hidden from me.
A fallen star thou mayst leave my side,
And of sorrow and shame, become the bride,
Shivering, quivering through the cold street,
With a curse behind and before thy feet
Ashamed to live, and afraid to die;
No home, no friend, and a pitiless sky,
Merciful Father my brain grows wild,
Oh! keep rom evil. my beautiful child!
Beautiful child, mayst thou soar above,
a warbling cheruh OF Joy and love,
A drop on Eternity's mighty sea,
A blossom on LIES immortal tree
Floating, Towering evermore
In the blessed light OF the golden shorei
And as gaze on thy sinless bloom
And thy radiantface, they dispel my gloom
feel He Will keep thee undetiled,
And His love will protect my beautiful child.

YanktOn, the capital of Dakota, is
situated on the Missouri river, 65 5miles
west of Sioux City, Iowa. 1t contains
a population of about 100, and is rap
idly improving. Railroads from
Columbus, Nebraska, Sioux City,
Iowa, Milwauke, Wis, and st. Paul,
Minnesota, will be completed to this
point within a very few years. The
route of the Northern Pacific r. r.
also traverses the northern portion of
the territory, distance of more than
four hundred miles.
No danger is apprehended in this
section from the incursions of preda-
tory Indians. The tribes in our inn
mediate vicinity have long been
friendly, and are located at agencies
on their respective reserves, where
they are endeavoring to conform to
treaty stipulatiOns.
Spring opens late this year, never
theless the prospects for heavy crops
are encouraging, the soil being in an
exceedingly good condition for the
successful prosecution of agricultural
pursuits.
L have endeavored in the above
communication, to draw a faithful
outline sketch of the more prominent
and characteristic features of Dakota
Territory, and trust that what 1 have
written may attract some attention in
the Buckeye State" to the Buffalo

Learn to Labor and TO Wait,

l see in the Editorial notes from
the State Capital' that some of the
Republicans introduced a resolution
proposing an amendment to the State
Constitution, pro viding that the
electors should determine whether
they desired the ballot to be given to
the women of the State, reading thus:
1.-THE right to vote in this State shall
not be denied or abridged on account
of SEX" which did not meet the ap-
proval of the Democratic party from
the fact that if all women were given
the elective franchise, colored or black
women would be included.
What catastrophe that would be!
Wonder if the few cOlOred women in
the State of Ohio, ignorant as they
may be, are not about as well qualifi-
ed to vote understandingly, as the
thousand and one ignoramuses-Ger
man, Irish and, lastly, Americans
who go to the polls every year of their
lives after they are q years of age,
and help to make laws by which IVe
are governed. One-third of whom
can be bought with a dram of poor
whiskey. They never. pause for q
moment TO realize the effect of a sim
gle vote, or If they do, haven't brains
enough to understand what they are
doing. Lame ercuSe.
l wish the Democrats had all gone
home to see their wives on that day,
and remained their, inasmueh as they
have knocked the first resolution
into pi' for cause so trivial.
Well, as have remarked in for
mer article, we can wait ; we are used
to it, and labor on; with friends by
our side who are strong, earnest, in
fuential and who are willing to shield
Us from storm and tempest till the
sun shines gloriously forever more.

Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad Company

CheS apeake & Ohio Railroad Company.
| The Chesapeakear and Ohio Railroad, connect
( ing the Atlantic coast and the magnificent
harbors of the Chesapeake Bay with the
Ohio River at point of reliable navigation
and thus, with the entire Railroad system
and water transportation Of the great West
and Southwest, forms the additional East and
West Trunk Line, so imperatively demanded
for the accommodation of the immense and
rapidly-growing transportation between the
Atlantic seaboard and Europe on the one
hand, and the great producing regions Of the
Ohio and Mississippi Valleys on the other.
The Importance OF this Road rs a new outlet
from the West to the sea magnifies il into one
of national consequence. and insures to it an
extensive through traffic from the day Of its
completion; while. in the development of
the extensive agricultural and mineral re-
sources of Virginia and west-virginia, it
possesses, along its own line, the elements
of large and profitable local business.
Thus the great interest, both general and
local, which demand the completion OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad to the Ohio
River, afford the surest guarantee OF its sue
cess and value. and render it the most impOr-
tant and substantial Railroad enterprise now
in progress In this Country.
Its superiority as an East and West route,
and the promise of an immense and profit
able trade awaiting its completion, have
drawn to it the attention and cooperation
of prominent Capitalists and Railroad men
of this city Of sound judgment and known
integrity, whose connection with it, togeth-
er with that of eminent citizens and business
men Of Virginia and west-virginia, insures
an energetic, honorable, and successful mansga-
meHt.
The Road is completed and in operation
from Richmond to the celebrated White Sui
phur Springs Of west-virginia, 27 miles.
and there remains but 200 miles Cnow par
TALLY constructed).to be completed. TO carry
it to the proposed terminus on the Ohio riv-
er at, or near, the mouth OF the Big Sandy
river, $50 miles above Cincinnati, and $50
miles below Pittsburgh.
Lines are now projected or in progress thro'
Ohio and Kentucky to this point, which
will connect the chesapeake and Ohio with the
entire Railroad systems of the West and South
west, and with the Pacific Railroad.
Its valuable franchises and superior ad-
vantages will place the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad Cbmpdny among the richest and
most powerful and trustworthy corpora
tions in the country and there exists pres
ent value, in completed road and work done,
equal to the entire amOunt OF the mortgage.

There is the record that the Hon.
Thomas II Benton left behind him of
a mothers inf1uence:-'My mother
asked me never to use tobacco. 1 have
never touched it from that time to the
present day. She asked me not to
game, and l have never gambled; and
! cannot tell who is winning and who
is losing in games that can be played.
She admonished me, too, against hard
drinking; and whatever usefulness I
may attain in life, have attributed
to her pious and correct wishes. When
/ was seven years of age, she asked
me not to drink: and then 1 made a
resolution of total abstinence that /
have adhered to through all my life.
