Napoleon Dead.

Ex-Emperor Napoleon, of France, died at Chlselhurst. England, Thursday, Jan. 9th, at 12 o'clock noon. The deceased had been painfully afflicted for a long time past, and bore his sufferings with heroic fortitude. The Ex-Empress Eugene had been d constant attendant at the bed side of her husband during his entire ill., ness, and was completely prostrated when the last approached. Herself and all the household of Chiselhurst were present at the bedside when he died. The emperor showed slight signs of consciousness towards the last moments and spoke to the empress twice in very feeble tone. The last indication of life was smile when the empress knelt and kissed her dying hus- band. She was completely overcome by her emotions, and tainted at the bedside. The prince, who had been summoned from Woolwich, arrived at Chiselhurst fifteen minutes after the death of the Emperor. He was greatly affected, and kissed his dead father several times. The emperor died peacefully, passing away without the slightest sign of pain. His death is attrib : uted to syncope or embolis.

To our surprise the bomb struck bang right in the Amenia Tsmes office. This was bad state of affairs, and last Saturday afternoon we went down there to repair damages, if any. Almost as soon as we entered the sanctum ot Bro. Benton, he said.-if not in SO many words, at least 80 we fully understood it," didn't intend to hit you; and although my target was labelled Salisbury NEWS, didn't mean to send that shot through her rig ging."
 The Amenia ISnaes office, now owned and managed by Chas. Scott, Jr., of New York, practical printer of no mean abili ty is one of the model offices of Duchess county. Every part and feature of the office shows the constant presence of the controlling spirit, who seems the embodi. ment of neatness and order. Every thing has place assigned it, and when not in use occupies that place, and it was indeed treat to go about amid so much regulari- ty and order.
 With such management, and Editor Ben ton in the editorial char in the little room yonder, the Times cannot but prove a greater success than ever. MT. Joel Ben ton, whom everybody hereabout knows, is one of the best lecturers in this region {; his lecture entitled Beauty, being indeed one of intense interest, as all will attest who heard him in Lakeville last winter. This lecture 1s most favorably alluded to in New York Tribune and Independent, Po- keepsie, Troy and other journals. Long will we remember this visit to the IEnes office last Saturday afternoon as one of the pleasantest of the season.

God knows what key in the hu-
man soul to touch in order to draw
out its sweetest and most perfect
harmonies. They may be minor
strains of sadness and sorrow 7; they
may be loftier notes of joy and glad
ness. God knows where the melo-
dies of our nature are, and what
discipline will call them FORTH
Some with plaintive songs must
walk in lowly valves all life's weary
way; others in loftier hymns shall
sing of nothing but JOY as they
thread the mountain tops of life;
but they all unite without a discord
or jar, as the ascending anthems of
loving and believing hearts finds
its way into the chorus of the re-
deemed in heaven.
