WooDMAN ITEMS A letter from
Woodman gives the following facts ::
The GRAFT and Wilson Club of Mt
Hope and Woodman is fully organ
lied, with 175 to 200 members. r.
G. Humphrey is President. I. N.
Hubbell, Vice President. Miles d..
Taylor, Recording Sec, J. j.. Parker,
Cor. Sec, w. T.. Garthwaite, Treas.
urer. An Executive Committee of
nine is chosen and at work.
The feeling in that region is like a
jug handle, all on one side, and from
acareful and thorough canvass of the
town of Woodman, it appears that
tho Republican majority this year
will exceed that OF any former cleo
ton.
Woodman is called the banner

respondent has failed to find 10 it q

Wheat and all other produce is

Mr.. COVERT wish to say to the

nation at the publication of SANDER

to the exaggerated and untrue &C
count of the Greeley meeting in Fen

sonalIy slandered, and for the first

Mr.. Hodnett, to prove the asser-
ton that the South was overburden-
ed with taxes, read statistics of Lou
isiana, and tried to make the audi,
ence believe from his reading, that
the taxation of the State was more
than its assessed value. He read il
over two or three times in the same
way. said to Mr.. Wehrly, "The
gentleman must be mistaken. The
taxes cannot exceed the valuation"
but Mr.'W replied, Hes right, he's
right" 1 then asked the speakers
leave to ask a question for informa-
ton. He replied "Certainly, sir"
| said III understand you to make
the taxes Of Louisiana greater than
its assessed valuation" He then
corrected himself and said either he
or | was mistaken. This was the
only time | spoke, | think, during
the two hours of eloquent slang of

For the Palladium.
Stand by Old Central ~


God sent to labor in his fields on earth,
To garner up his shsaves, to guard his 6ock /.
A man-pure. upright, noble from his birth
And firmly placed his isst upon the rock,
That he, through::auman sympathy, might lead
Gods people upward to his fold above,
And even in his hour Of sorest need,
Tried comfort in Ohrist's everlasting love.
Rejoicing a. he labored IN the field,
And bore the heat and burden Of the day,
He said: "'Tis Jesus grants the generous
yield,
Give Him the glory - = But his work
is done,
God saw his servant, footsore, worn and tired,
And took him up to dwell with His own Son,
Amid the joys to which his soul aspired.
But ere he took his upward, heavenly eight,
He called about him al his little band,
Who had stood by him faithful in the eight
And, grasping brother, sister by the hand,
Said, "Stand by Jesus-fght on to the end
Trust in that Friend on whom my faith relied !;
You cannot elsewhere find perfect friend.-
Staad BY Old Cessrali" Closed his eyes, and
died.
Members Of Central Brothers, good aud true,
God has afflicted Ms for our own good.
Now let us al our covenant renew
Our covenant If Christian Brotherhood.
Let none desert the ship; let all stand fast,
And fight for that which CoAsroCK held 20
dear,
That we, with him, may reach that Heaven u
last.
That in his LASER moments seemed so near.

Near thesmiddle of dull, dismal
afternoon, some eleven weeks later
than the date Of the preceding
events, the good ship Flying Child
ers drew near to the island Of
Desolation. shaping her course
toward it's northermost bay, called
by Captain Cook Christmas Hartor.

ing every stitch OF her canvas,
including studding-sails.
He: crew-both watches-wore
busy about the deck, and her pass
sengers-a score in number had
gathered in groups. mostly forward,
and were gazing with great interest.
upon tho wild, rugged shores
before them, SO far as the fogs
suspended upon these shores per.
mitted them to become visible.
The ship had come here for
water, nearly all her water casks
having been stove or started during
a squal] ten days previously, and
every soul aboard of her having
been since that date upon short
allowance.
Upon the quarter deck stood
Capt. Luke Fodder, looking un-
usually happy, with Will Hawlcy
beside him.
| l mean to get our water aboard
before dark, Captain Pedder, and
so avoid losing night here, said
the young executive, totally uncon-
scious of the plot to leave him
alone on the de- olate island, and
of the extraordinary adventures
which were before him. The
strange events that happened
there, and indeed the whole of this
thrilling story, will be found in the
New York Ledger, which is now
