THURSDAY.
The great feature Of the proceedings IN The
House Yesterday was the consideration IT the
resolutions TO cxpcl Mr. Whittemore, Of South
Carolina, charged with having disposed Of ca
det,hps for pccuuiary consideration. Mr.
Whittcmore rose to speak in bis own defence
when the Speaker stopped him with the re-
mark that. having resigned his seat in the House
and the Governor Of South Carolina having ac-
ccptcl his resignation he tlIr. W. wasnolonger
member Of the House After various points
Of order had been raised and overrnlei, tho
original resolution for his expulsion was laid
on the table. Mr.. Logan then offered reso-
luton declaring that b. +. Whitemore had
made appointments Of cadets in violation Of
law that he was influenced to do 80 by i'm
proper considerations, and that his conduct Is
therefore condemned, and he is unworthy TO
be a member Of this House. This resolution
was unanimously adopted, and Mr.. W. imme-
diate'y left the House.

HANGING IN THE AIR.

At the new brick block OF Wallace x Gun
ming, on Main Street, in this place ON Mon
day afternoon. there was Il scene of more
thrilling and fearful interest than it is usual
in the life Of man To witness. In rai.nm
heavy material from the ground 10 the tup ol
the building rope and pulley were Itsrd,
and TO assist in the raising of thn articles a
heavy weigh of tin was attached to the end
OF the rope, which stops ut the top nest ~
the pulley. On the day mentioned, a lutIr
girl of about eight years old was innorruth
pulling and swinging on the rope, when, h,.
successive movements OF the weight winch
was resting on the platform above, it was
moved off its resting place. Being much tl,
heavier, the weight began the descent, uud
rapidly took the playful girl from OF the
ground, and thence to the top OF the bnid
ing, forty-tive or more feet high The weight
struck the ground, and the little girl dluglrd
from the other end in terrible and alarming
danger of Il sudden fail. The people near
heard her cries as She began to ascend, and
in painful wonder ran to the scene, alarmed
and almost paralyzed with fear to see ~

nost thou idly ask to hear
AT what gentle seasons
Nymphs relent, when lovers near
Press the tenderest reasons:
Ali, they give their faith too oft
10 the careless WoOer;
Maluen's hearts are always soft.
Would that mems were truer.
Woo the far one, when around
Early birds are singing;
When, DER all the fragrant ground,
Early herbs are springina
When the brooksidc, bank, and grove,
All with blossoms lsden,'
Shine with beauty, breathe of love
Woo the timid maiden.
Woo her when, with rosy blush.
Summer eve is sinking;
When, on the rlls that softly gusl,
Stars are softly Winking:
When, through boughs that knit the bowe,
Moonlight CLEANS are stealing
Woo her till the gentle hour
Wake a gentlcr feeling.
Woo her, when alltumnal dyes
Tlnge the woody mountain;
When the dropping fnlingc lie
In the wcc'ly fountain;
Let the scene that tells how fast
Youth is passing over,
Warn her, ere her bloom is past,
TO secure her lover.
Woo her. when the north winds call
At the lattice nightly;
When, within the cheerful hall,
Blaze the figots brightly;
While the WIntry tempest rOlnt
Sweeps the landscape hoary.
Sweeter in her ear shall sound
