And heard her sigh aud moan;
80, God! my mental night is long,
When wll'the. morning. come ?"
The night was dark, the clouds dropped low
And the star Of Hope had set;
The trembling grass beneath her feet.
With the dews Of grief was wet.
Sad sobbing winds swept DER her path,
She felt their chilling breath;
Aud the night-birds song had q mournfu vail
Like the solemn knell Of death.
She peered into the deepening gloom,
Her hands reached far and wide;
Alas. she looked and reached In vain;
No friend was by her side.
Silent and cold the night wore on,
No light did stars impart;
And the fearful moan ofthe deep, dark wsv ss
Answered her throbbing heart.
The shrouds of night fell heavily
Around her shivering form,
While tesrfully she stood to watch.
Perchance the coming morn.
"Ah, me-" she cried, clark Is the night,
When stars refuse to shine,
But darker, deeper is the night,
When mental clouds combine"
And after in her troubled walk,
heard her sigh and moan.

When will the morning Gomez p
An angel whispered in her ear,
"Look up, oh sorrowing one:
The darkest night will have day.

the father and mother had turned north
ward, while the son and his wife took
southwark direction. Eight hundred dol
lars Of Mr.. Newland's money was geld.
and by this the aveDger more easily
traced his prey from place to place; but
il was by letters written after the sepa-
ration, from young Waller to his guilty
father, that the inal hiding place Of the
latter at Faribault has recently been dis
covered. The son sent his letters to a
friend in Illinois, by whom they were re-
mailed to another con6dante at Rice
Rake, who. in turn, passed them to the
fathcr. No pains or ingenuity were
spared to elude betrayal; but the hand
Of Providence turned all the schemes to
naught. In the course Of his tireless in
quiries. Mr.. Hirschkager addressed
note for information to the Sheriff OF
Dodge County. By some inexplicable
chance it reached the Sheriff Of Rice
county instead, who at once answered
that the Walters were living in seclusion
in his county. To Faribault, then. last
week, Hirschkager hastened, with
requisition from the Governor Of Missou-
ri and suitable constabulary force, and
there arrested man and wife, who, for
three years, had evaded him. When
charged with the crime and taken into
custody, the Walters displayed neither
surprise nor fear, but obstinately refused
to tell the whereabouts Of their married
son. Without the capture Of the latter,
Mr.. Hirschkager's great retributive work
would not have been complete, for this
son had evidently shared in the crime OF
his parents. Here the hand Of Provi-
dence seemed specially visible again. For
two years, young Waller in all his writ.
ing to his father had ever suppressed
mention of his own address; but, some
strange fatality, in note coming from
him on the very day Of the arrest at Far
ibault. he revealed his place Of refuge.
Swiftly as steam could carry, the inde-
fatigablc Hirschkager went thither with
his men, and now the whole family OF
poor Newland's murderers stand in the
shadow of the scaffold.

Returns Of the recent census. show a
small increment to our population during
the last decade. 1t is probable, however,
that under the new apportionment of Rep.
resentatives in Congress. to be made upon
the census of 1870, our state will lose one
member, and must therefore be re-district-
ed before the next Congressional election.
In order to avoid the expense Of an extra

the expected contingency.

ASSESSMENT OF TAXES.
Our system for the assessment Of taxes
is defective. The amount Of personal es-
tate which escapes taxation is enormous.
Valuations are unequal, and the burdens
Of taxation bear unequally upon our citi-
zens. Real estate cannot escape, but
personal property. through the much
abused privilege of Offset for debts, and
the various shifts Of evasion and conceal
ment too commonly practiced, is largely
omitted from our annual lists. AS con.
sequence real estate is always appraised
below its true value in money" and not
seldom at less than one third Of such
value.
1t is a serious question whether Offsets
for debts should not be much restricted.
1t may be we'll to inquire whether the
evils Of the present system may not be at
least alleviated by well considered modi-
fications of our law.
COUNTRY AND STATE.
| congratulate you on the condition Of
our beloved Country, reunited upon the
righteous basis of universal freedom and
citizenship.
The evidences Of renewed prosperity
are abundant. While other nations are
desolated by the ravages Of war, we en-.
Joy the untold blessings Of peace.
There are encouraging signs Of ad'
vancement in our own State. Our pop
ulation and resources have materially in.
creased within the last decade, and the
probable construction, within brief Pc
riod, of a Ship Canal connecting tht
waters of Lake Champlain with the Up
per Lakes. thus bringing Vermont in tht
great highway traffic from the West tt
the Seaboard. will greatly stimulate oul
industries and develop our resources.
invoke upon the precious interests
committed to you, the Divine blessing
and upon your deliberations the guidance
of Infinite Wisdom.

Tho whole amount of the bonds out
standing, redeemable in 1871, is $780,
500; of which $978,500 were issued
prior to the passage by Congress of the

1t is held by recent decision Of the
Supreme Court of the United States, that
the provisions of the legal tender act
are not retroactive, and that debts con-
tracted prior to its passage are payable in
coin.

June and yet unpaid, amount to 2.28O ;

If any subject Tor new uneasiness is
wanting, it may be found in the astrouo-
mical assertion Of the absorbing power OF
the sun, which is so great that all the
planets are being gradually but surely
drawn into it. Sir William Thompson
says that it is as certain as that the weights
of clock will run it down - that is, as
certain as "eggs is eggs" - that planet
after planet, age by age. will creep into
the sun, and not one can escape its fiery
end. We do not suggest it as any encour
ment to the Adyentists, but the continued
heat of this summer seems to favor botf
the theory Of the scholars and their OWL
projects for the speedy end of the world
with this difference, that if the theory is
true they may not be able to leave thu
