The following sweet poem IL from the pen OF
Shiilaber r. Hrs. Partington ~, and is . per .
feet picture Of his childhood home. It ID
touchingly beautiful. and our readers viii
thank us for publishing it:
There's little low hut by the rivers side,
Within the sound Of its ripping tide;
Its walls are grey with the mosses Of years,
And its roof all crumbled and old appears;
But fairer to me than castles pride
Is the little low hut by the r1ver's side.
The little low hut was my natal nest,
Where my childhood passed-Life's spriDgtime
blest;
Where the hopes of ardent youth were formed,
And the sun Of promise my young heart
warmed.
Ere threw myself on hfe's swift tide,
And left the dear hut by the rivers side.
That little low hut, in lowly guise,
Was soft and grand to my Youthful eyes,
And fsirer trees were ne:er known before
Than the apple trees by the humble door,
That my father loved for their thrifty pride,
Which shadowed the hut by the rivers side.
That little low hut had glad hearthstone.
That echoed Of old with pleasant tone,
And brothers and sisters, . merry crew,
Filled the hours with pldssure - on they flew;
But one by one the loved ones died,
That dwelt in the hut by the rivers side.
The father revcred and the children gay
The graves of the world have called away;
But quietly ii! alone there sits
By the pleasant window in summer, and knits,
An old woman, long ears allied
With the little low hut by the rivers side.
That little Low hut to tie lonely wife
10 the cherished stage oe her active life;
Each scene is recalled In memory's beam,
As she sits by the window in pensive dream;
And joys and woes roll back like tide
In that little low hut by the rivers eide.
Ny mother-aione by the rivers side
She waits for the hoo1 Of the heavenly tide,
And the voice that shall thrill her heart with
its call,
To meet once more with the dear Ones %,
And form in region beautiAed
That band that once met BY the rivers side.
That dear old hut by the rivers sde,
With the warmeh pulse Of my heart allied,
And glory is over the dark val thrown,
Thst ststefier fabrics have never known.
And shah love with . 1onder pride
The little low hut by the rivers side.

A Horrible Tragedy Mt Goltlsboro-An
Act Of HerOiSm.

1ALElGH, N. u, OCTOBER 3l.-AC-
counts are received here this evening
of horrible accident and catastrophe
at Goldsboro, forty miles from here by
rail, last night, during and in connec.
tion with John Robinson's circus at
that place. Outside, AMI only few
yards from one part of the canvas, was
all old, disused, nearly dry and uncov-
cred we'll, and just there happened to
be placed, projecting from one of the
tent poles of the canvas, a peculiar
gas-jet light, alternating from a steady,
ordinary fame to darting, Kissing
tongue of fire. An old negro woman,
without the means to more fully CRAFTY
her curiosity, was pottering about out
side to hear all she could, and happily
through some small hole or "coign OF
vantage > get a forbidden glimpse OF
the Paradise beyond, when by evil
chance she came opposite this shifting
light and the we'll, just as the former
revolved into the performance of one
of it's fsntasJic, and to her most fear
full tricks. Fleeing from it, and blind.
ed by the glare, she fell headlone into
the we'll, shrieking as she went down.
A watchman of the circus company,
going his rounds with large oil Ian.
tern, and not far behind the old woman
when she fled and fell, ran with his
light to the verge of the well, holding
it over the dark mouth to see, if he
might, the bottom, and the poor VIC
tim there OF her own curiosity and ig-
noranoe.
But the crowd-attracted by the
shrieks-immediatety after so rushed
and crowded upon him as to endanger
his own balance, and in resisting it, to
secure his own safety, he had to, or at
least for some cause did, let 20 his Ian
tern, and it fell into the well, breaking
as it struck the bottom.
Instantly the entire void-what with
it's own foul gases and the oil from the
lantern-was one sheet of roaring fiame
rising far above the mouth of the we'll.
Then followed an act and effort of hap
less and unavailing heroism, upon the
part Of one of the humblest employees
of the exhibition, that most deserves
monument and song than most of the
builded and b]azoned deeds to which
the world has given it's frescees and its
pillars.
The flames had subsided but little,
if any, when he proposed and unheel-
tatingly put in instant execution the
lowering of himself by rope to tho
bottom of the we'll, to rescue, if posi-
BILE, the still humber victim there
from unspeakable torture, if not al
ready past all pain. And he succeeded
in SO far as to bring up (all was done
in trice) the charred but still breath
ing and groaning remains OF the poor
creature, But she expired in few
minutes after, and now, according to
my information from an eye witness,
the unregarded hero who sought to
save her lies at the point of death him
self, burnt almost to a crisp in his fear
full venture of humanity. One of the
men who lowered him and drew him
and his burden up again the one who
stood nearest the WELLS also very
badly burnt. MEoknENBuRa.

A Petrifled Rattlesnake.

The Greenville (Ky.) Independent
has the following:
"While the workmen were engaged
in quarrying the stone for Lock No, 2,
on Green River, petrified rattlesnake
about three feet six inches in length,
having on it eight rattles, was found
imbcdded in the sclid stone. The
snake was broken in two by the work

Under the floral bell composed of
orange blossoms and roses, in the draw

the wedding group. The bride, attired
in a pearl satin robe, adorned with rich
lace, with her beautiful golden hair
shining through the veil that fell in
light folds to her very feet, was tie

strange to say, she wore a silken mask.

The bridegroom awaited with tremb-
ling impatience the moment when the
hateful mask should be removed, and
he should see his darling face to face,
and find his dreams of her beauty si,r.
passed by the reality. The good clergy
man. in bands and surp]ice, began tic
ceremony, and with Joined hands and
loving hearts the lhappy pair took to
solemnvow to "love and cherish" each
other till death did them part. And not
till they we're pronounced "man and
wife" did the bride undo the silken
string, throw off the mask, and stand
revealed in all her blushing loveliness
to the endearirg eyes of her husband.

tended on both sides of Lincoln street

movement is on foot to construct a new
falroad from Baltimore to Philadelphia and
meetings have been held in Baltimore county
recently TO take into consideration the merits of
the two routes proposed; one called the Bslair
route, and the other the Peach bottom route.

the hrst, as in addition to the agricultural in
Ietests 10 De reached this route would better the
siate and other mineral products of that section,
which now amounts to TWENTY-FIVE or thirty
thousand tons per annum. Such a route would
also tap the Hanover railroad which will SOON
be completed TO the Broad Top coal fields of
pennsylvania, and furthermore there could be
no objection on account of distance.

the matter Of Indian back-pay, and bounty
