WEDNESDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 4. is7
THE OLD SCHOOL HOUSE.

Isat an hour to-day, John,
Beside the old brook stream
Where we were school-boys in old time
When manhood was dream;
The brook is chokcd with fallen leaves,
Tho pond is dried away,
| scarce believe that you would know
The dear old place to-day.
The school house is no more, John,
Beneath our locust trees,
The wild rose by the windows side
No more waves In tho breeze,
The scattered stones look desolatc,
The sod they rested on
Has been plowcd up by stranger hands,
Since you and | were gone,
The ohesnut tree is dead, John,
And what is saddcr now,
The broken grapevine of our swing
Hangs on the withered bough,
read our names upon the bark,
And found the pebbles rare
Laid up beneath the hollow side,
As We had piled them there.
Beneath the grass grown bank, John,
looked for our old spring
inat bunOicu uONu tue hluef phtn
Three PAGES from the swing;
The rushes grow upon the brink,
The pool is black and bare,
And not foot for many day,
1t seems has trodden there.
took the old blind road, John,
That wandered up the hill
'Tis darker than It used TO be,
And seems so lone and still
The birds yet sing upon the boughs
Where once the sweet grapes hung,
But not a voice Of human kind
Where all our voices rung.
sat me on the fence, John,
That stands US in old time,
The same half panel In the path
We used so oft 70 climb
And thought how, Ger the bars Of life,
Our playmatcs bad passed on,
And left me counting on the spot
The faces that were gone.

SPEECH OF
HON. GEORGE II. PENDLET0N.

An immense mass meeting Of tho
Democracy Of Clermont and Warren
counties, o., was held at Loveand, on
Tuesday, Aug 22d. Upon being in.
troduced by the chairman, Mr.. Pen
dleton said;
| thank the State Central Commit.
tee that they have assigned me to
Loveland. | have so pleasant q TO
collection of the last visit made here
that they could not have given me
more agreeable appointment with
which TO commence the duties assign
ed to me during the canvass. Almost
the last political speech which | made
was here Soon after / met with an
accident which kept me close prison
or for long time, and whose effects
prevented me from taking an active
part in the canvass for the last two
years.
Reflection has not increased the ac-
rimony of my temper, nor led me to
look with less charity upon the mo.
tives of our fellow citizens who differ
with u.s. More and more have | come
to see that the widest difference of
opinion and conduct in political mat
ters are consistent with the most un-
selfish patriotism and purest motives.
In this canvass while ! shall speak
with the plainest language of the prin.
ciples and policy Of the Republican
party. | shall endoavor TO do entire

say was-a constitutional government.
1t was framed by the delegates from

vention of States. 1t was creature
of States, endowed by them with all
tho powers it possessed, and was so
plcntifuly endowed that II could, OF
itself, perform the duties, defend the
powers and perpetuate the existence
which had been given to IT, Those
duties were few. Those powers were
ample, but they were limited. The
Constitution and the laws madc in
pursuance thereof were the supreme
law. All powers not delegated 10

HOW We Used TO be PhYstcked.

Who does not remember the time when spring
purgStion WIS considered indispensable to sum-
mer health? No matter for WY faces, the newt
ab lie salt and SIENNA, rhubarb, calonel and ia
lap, must be administered. These "Spring med
icines,'' The youngsters were told, were to keep
them hale and hearty during the summer. We
all know now that this was fallacy; that new
vigor, not depletion, is what is required at the
commencement OF the sumner solstjce As
preparation fOrthe enervating effects of oppressive
summer weather, course Of HOstetteI's Stom-
ach Bitters is highly expedent. This famous
vegetable preparation has three prominent prop
critics: 1t renovates, purihss, and regulates all
the functions Of tho body. It is composed e1-
clusiyely of pure vegetable productions, viz: The
essential principe Of MonoBSaaela Rye, and the
most e1icscious tonic and Alternative roots, banks,
and gums known to medical botsnists. Hence.
it is an absolutely sIfe medicine and no tincture
of the Pharmlcopoe'a can compare with it either
in purity, or In the variety Of its objects and its
COMMUNICATIVE results. R5pGiiy Coz mankind, the
tbeorv that it was necessary 10 PROSTATE patient
in order TO cure him, is forever exploded and the
true philosophical doctrine that yigor is the great
ANTAGONIST of disease has taken its place. Hos

tbe proper medicine for the feeble at this most
trying season of the year.

trial on the charge of assault and battery.
W. NJ. Robertson, Esq, attorney for the
accused, raised the point that his clients,
being deaf and damb, and not able to
read, could not be apprised of the nature
of the indictment against them, and could
not therefore, be put upon trial in the
form proposed. Attorney General Cald-
well took the opposite view and the quss
ton was argued at length by the attorneys
mentioned. The point was decided il
favor of the State and the trial proceeded.
The jury rendered verdict of guilty, but
the punishment of the defendants, Buck
and Mike Vaughn, Will hardly exceed a
days confinement in the county Jail.
