very large amount of business, especially in
freighs, sufficient to warrant the success of the
undertaking. Among those who took part
in the discussions were George F. Wilson and
Isaac H. Southwick OF Providence, William
Knowlton Of Upton, Harvey Chace of Valley
Falls, Thomas Proctor and A. Aldrich of
Wrentham, II. NJ. Greene and J. P Ray of
Franklin, II. f. Barrows and S. Richardson of
North Attloboro, Josiah Whipple of Cumber-
land, and Others. The meeting adjourned, to
assemble at the same place on Friday May 81,
when the committee alluded to will undoubtedly
be ready to report, and important action will
probably be taken IN furtherance OF the enter
prise.
The NEW SOCIETY, that intend TO erect
Congregational church in the southern section
Of the city, held ali adjourned meeting in the
chapel connected with the Main street Baptist
church, last evening. The meeting was largely
attended, and paper was circulated for the sig
natures of all those who were in favor of asso-
eating themselves together for the formation of
an organization, to be called the Seventh Con-
gregatonal Society,"" which was signed by fifty
nine persons. After the transaction of the reg
ular routine of business, the committee appoint
ed at the meeting one week ago to draft a code
of bylaws, asked for more time in which 10
complete their work, and they were allowed an
other week. The committee to secure bond
for the deed of the lot on Main street, at the
corner of Piedmont street. reported that they
had succeeded in securing the bond, and that
payment had been made. The lot has front
of 1S6 feet on Main street and 125 on Piedmont
street, which includes nearly twice the amount
of land that will be required for building pur-
poses, yet the committee think best TO purchase
the entire lot so as to have control of the land
near the church edifice. The committee on
plans reported that they had received commune
cations from number of architects, but were
not able to present complete report. A num-
Der of names were offered as appropriate to the
new organization, which were referred to a COM
mittee for consideration the organization to be
called the Seventh Congregational society until
name shall be selected. A warrant was pre-
scented which embraces sixteen articles that are
to be acted upon next Thursday, in order to per-
feet the organization. 1t was voted TO proceed
at once to begin worship as a separate society
in the Main street Baptist church, which that
society have kindly offered TO the new one in
which to hold one service a day, with a Sunday
school in the chapel. After extending a vote of
thanks to Mr. f. b. Knowles for making the
first payment Of $500 on the new lot the meet
ing adjourned for one week.

IMPROVEMENTS AT THE JAIL.-It is under
stood that the county commissioners have final
Iy decided ii ineXpedent TO remove the jail from
its present location, but propose 10 provide ac-
Communications for the rapidly increasing num-
Der of conyicts by an enlargement of the present
building. Plans are being prepared by Messrs
Il. Boydcn & Son for Il new wing, to be built on
the east side of the main building The north
wing will be retained, bnt The old cast wing,
which is poorly adapted for tue accommodation
OF prisoners, will be torn down. The new wing
will furnish an extension of the kitchen and
guard room, and a new prison 1I5 by 40 feet in
size, with four stories of cells, a basement, an
work shop over all. The structure will give
1856 new cells in addition to those in the north
wing, aud The new basement will also be suita-
bic lorcells, if thought desirable. These changes
will furnish all the room that will probably he
seeded for many years, and will cost far less
than the proposed removal.

POetry
THE OLD COUPLE.

'They sat in the sun together,
Till the day was almost done,
And then. at its close an angel
Stepped over the Threshold stone.
He folded their hands together,
He touched their eye-lids with balm,
And their last breath foated upward
Like the close of a solemn psalm.
Like bridal pair they traversed
The unseen, mystical road,
That leads to the beautiful city,
Whose Builder and Maker is God.
Perhaps, in that miracle country,
They will give her lost youth back,
And the flowers of vanished spring time
Shall bloom in the spirits track.
One draught of the living waters
Shall restore his manhood's prime,
And eternal years shall measure
The love that outives time.
But the shapes they left behind them,
The wrinkles and silver hair
Made sacred to US by the kisses
The angel imprinted there,
Well hide away in the meadow,
When the sun is low in the west
Where the moonbeams cannot find them,
Nor the wind disturb their rest.
But we II let no tell-tale tombstone,
With its age and date, arise
Oer the two who are old no longer
In their Fathers House in the Skies"

A correspondent, writing from Henry Lake,
in Montana, describes the locality as scene of
wonderful grandeur The lake is situated, in
the Rocky Mountains at an altitude of 5000
feet above the level ofthe sea. Looking from
a high peak near this body of water he saw the
panorama of the most wonderful region known
to man. For within scope of the eye from that
point-having their origin In Lake Henry-are
the sources of five of the grandest rivers on the
face of the GLOBE born, as it were, in the same
little lake, and drinking all from the same small
spring. Here the Yellowstone, Snake and
Green rivers, as well as Clark Fork, Wind
river, Madison and Gallatin, start together,
leaping and bounding In great cataracts and
rushing in every direction to empty themselves
into the Pacific aud Atlantic oceans. Beyond
low mountain to the southeast, the eye falls
upon the spectacle of the steam ascending from
the gas pipes of purgatory sometimes &c eaiied
geysers) to mingle with the clouds Ihls,
exclaims the correspondent, in burst of en-
tbns;as.ic wonderment, ''is the real end of the
world"
T.KE CARE OF Your HoRsEs.-These ex-
tremelv sultry days necessarily make the daily
Ivort ofbeasts of burden, and particularly horses

hoods of the horses and mules furnish them
NTH a little drinking water as often as practical
hla when not overheated, and at the same time
to cool the mouth and face and, as a further
means of refreshing the animals, throw water
nnon the legs and such places as are liable to
chafe by perspiration or otherwise drive slow

with it altogether; The observance OF these d.
rections will, we dare say, tend greatly to alle-
yiate the suffering ST the brutes during the
heated term.
