Socrates we'll said that there was but one

The Manassas (Va.) Gazette states that few
davs ago Mr.. George Boot, young man en-
ployed to help run saw-mill near that place
was standing on the carriage, engaged in saw
ing logs, when another employee of the mill
had his foot caught in some way, and the car
riage, however, stopping so suddenly, threw
Mr.. Root forward on the saw, which being in
rapid motion, first struck him on the should

DEFERRED ARTICLES.
Advantages to Baltimore Of the Nor
thern Pacific Railroad.

HoS. john W. GARRETT, in his recent speech
made in Washington before the Congressional
Committee. indicated very forcibly the great ad-
vantages, commercially and otherwise, Balti-
more was destined to derive from the compile
ton of the Northern Pacific Railroad. Refer
ring to the Lake Line, which is to connect the
Baltimore and Ohio from Duluth to Sandusky,
with the Northern Pacific, comparing these
points as against existing routes, Mr. Garrett
said:
"a Sandusky is fifty miles by water nearer to
Duluth than Chicago, whilst it is 29S miles by
rail east of Chicago" that it virtually gives
the people Of Baltimore and Maryland an op-
portuuity Immediately to compete on most ad-
vantaceous terms for the trade Of the great
northwest, and ultimately for that of China
and Japan
Mr.. Garrett has, without doubt, studied this
important oubiect closely. and what he says.
therefore, has great force.
Bv a recent article in the Philadelphia IN
ouirer we learn that one mandatory in that
city was engaged filing an order to build fifty
locomotives for tho Northern Pacific Railroad
Company, having completed an equal number
on previous contract for the same road.
It's hoped, as Msrylanders and Baltimoreans
are literally encouraging this great enterprise
By purchasing largely of It's bonds, that our
mechanics may, in due time, enjoy proportion
ate favors.-B Baltimore Saturday Night.

POETICAL.
For the Virginia Free Press.
FROM THE OLD DOMINION.

Benumbing Winter holds the friged earth
In arms Of snow, and pendent icicles,
The only beard he boasts, the feeble rays
OF sunlight intercept and analyze:
So that each several pencil of white light,
Refracted, shows all the rain-bow's colOrs.
The little streams with doubtful footsteps haste
Along their course, fearful lest HENS hear,
And from distended cheeks send forth blast,
That shall arrest the waters in mid course,
And lock them up, frigid mass Of ice.
The Monarchs of the Forest and the shrub,
Whose rings concentric show not forth ten years,
Stand like so many Merchantmen, their sails
All furled and naked masts, prepared to meet
The warning of the elements. Except
The Pine aud Cedar all the trees are bare.
Long months ago, when Boreas touched our land,
Auctumnus fled yet ere he fed he rolled,
And carried in his hands the verdant robe,
That youthful Spring had spread upon the bills.
The beautiful no longer meets the eye,
Nor is the ear by gentle zephyrs charmed;
The moaning Of the forests, and the shrek
OF Winter hurricane-these our music!
But tempests lessen not our sweetest joys.
Ne'er feels the heart so warm glow of love
And friendship as when, dreary all without,
One sits beside cheerful fire, with friends.
Yet often do think Of thee, my home!
And long to see the faces of my friends.
E'en as | write these lines, their forms arise
Before my mental eye. Swift as the light,
There rushes cross my mind a confused mass
OF children, pigs, and horses, and the cows.
of church. of well known school house, and OF trees
From which-Ah well the school boys understand
Why thus the lower branches are deformed
BY loss ofsprouts.
Though slow the hours revolye
The wings Of time delay not. As be hies,
And bears me onward to the goal OF life,
En- PEASANT, he will bring my steps to thee,

IspRovEMENTs.-The b. & O. Railroad
Company are improving and ornamenting their
property at the Depot. In order to accommo-
date their increasing trade they have found it
necessary to extend their large warehouse, and
build additional platforms, wood and coal hou-
ses, &c. We notice also that they have made
this point depot Of material, supply and cen
struction, aud their workmen are now engaged
in framing bridges for the line of the road. 1t
is to be hoped that the Company may find it
to their interest to increase their force OF me-
chanics here and make this permanent point
of construction.
The energy with which Mr.. Hull administers
the various duties of his onerous position is ac-
knowledged and appreciated by all who have
business at the Depot.
Mr.. Joseph Renner, an old and well known
citizen of this county, was returning from
Church in his carriage, on Sunday last, accom-
