For the Register
NEVER CAN FORGET.

Many years may pass unheeded,
Many suns may rise and set,
But the happy hours we've passed,
No we never can forget.
Like the dew upon the blossoms,
When the blazing sun has set,
Are the memories of past pleasures,
That we never can forget.
All the hopes that then we cherished,
Plans our youthful hearts beget,
In the coming years to lipen,
No we never can forget.
Though the wings Of time have scattered
Those who round our fireSide met,
Still each face is well remembered,
Fannie we can ne'cr forget.

he came back to ascertain the cause.
He saw the brick lying there, but it

was not cloud visible and everything
betokened day full Of promise for

belle the day. for never in the memory
of the oldest inhabitant has there been
more propltious day for the fighting
of the bloodiess battle which every two
years is fought with that silent and ef-
'fectual weapon the ballot-not the
bullet. Men of both parties joined

consisting Of ten acres, fora fruit farm,
five miles southeast Of this city. They
were both unmarried, and all the work
on their purchase has, 50 far as the
neighbours observed, only been done
by them, no outside labor being en-
ployed. For the last day or two they
have been seen at work digging u well
and on Tuesday q traveller rodeup to
their house, u temporary building, for
drink of water. Not finding any one
In the house, and seeing hat and coat
lying near the well, he rode up to the
spot and found the well had raved in.
On reaching the nearest farm he men
toned this fact, and as no signs of the
brothers were seen about their prem
ises late that evening, it is supposed
tlat while ut work In the well II caved
IN ANA buried them alive.
IL was the intention Of the neighbors
to satisfy their approximations concern.
