OF Baker county, is "a years old, a
Missourian by birth and a bedrock
Democrat, Having a fresh, sunny
countenance, a pleasing address and
nm excellent education, he is a re-
markably pleasant and oompaniona-
bic gentleman; and, being withal a
very sensible and honest man, Baker
county may freely boast of having
Wisdom in tho Senate.
This is all--having disposed of
Wisdom we have also disposed of the
Senators, Our lame, halting, un-
couth descriptions Of the gentlemen
who wear the the Senatorial toga of

that Of brevity, They have also
been free from partizan rancor or

Death ola Celebrated Dog.

The Washington Republican says
Readers of the Republican will recollect
not long since an account Of the death
and burial of Percy Thompson's remark
able dog Jack, and now mention has to be
made of the celebrated dog, Polar. He
was magnificent Newfoundland, and
was brought from the Northern regions
by the United States steamer Congress, a
vessel sent out to search in the Arctic
seas for the ship of discovery, the
Polaris.
When Polar reached Washington he
be came the friend and companion Of a
gentleman connected with the Navy De-
partment, and by his great intelligence
and most amiable disposition he won the
respect and real love of all who had the
pleasure of his acquaintance. Contrary
to the habit of most dogs, Polar'was eI
cccdingly fond of carriage drive, and
when out taking the country air it was
really amusing to watch the intense e1-
preston of delight his countensnce
wore.
A touching incident connected with
his illness occurred last Sunday. He
was not usually allowed in the house he
had a very completely appointed one
himself-but his sickness that day was so
manifest he was invited in. While the
family were altogether in the parlor,
during the afternoon, three loud raps
were heard on the parlor door, and on
opening it there stood Polar, asking ad-
mission as plainly as he could had he
been endowed with human expression.
He wa, gladly welcomed, and from that
time until his death everything was done
that skill and ingenuity could sug-
gest for the treatment of dog.
Like Jack, he was decently buried in
the garden, and little slab with his
name on it. will be placed at the head
of his grave. Polar brought from the
Arctic zone n warm and atfectionate dis
p ition, and he will not soon BIO for got
ton by his friends.

ANNOUNCE M ENT.

Having just returned to our old quarters,
after they have undergone many modern
improvements and alterations, and haE-
ing just placed upon our shelves stock
OF Books and Stationery in keeping with
our room, we ask the attention Of the in
telligent public to few words in connec-
ton with our business.
II IL a well established fact that next 10
church and school, a book store, where all
the latest works upon Science, Arts and
General Literature may be obtained, is the
most necessary adjunct TO a cultivatedand
intelligent community.
II is a fact no less apparent, that Wheel
ing has fallen behind towns Of much small
Ter proportion, in the encouragement and
support of such an institution, and in fact
has never made full stock Of miSccllan-
eous books, a paying Investment to tn"
dealers, who have found IL more profitabl"
to give the stationery and wall paper their
chief attention.
While we have no cause for complaint
thus far, we ask for more general sup
port, as we shall devote ourselves eXclu-
sively TO the book and stationery business,
and hope that our increased outlay oflabor
and money, may meet with correspond
ing Increase in our business, so that we
may be enabled, at all times, 10 provide our
citizens with all the advantages Of com
plete and well stocked book store.

IT'S the part OF a coward to brood
DER the past that Is withered ana dead;
what though the hearts roses are ashes and
dust2
What though the hearts music be fled?
sill shine the grand heavens o'erhead,
Whence the voice Of an angel thrills clear on
the SOUL
"Glrd about thee thine armor; press on to the,
goal =
II the faults of the crimes of thy youth
Are burden too heavy to bear,
What hope can rebloom on the desolate waste
OF a Jealous and craven despair
Down, down, with the letters OF fear
In the strength of thy yalor and manhood arise,
With the faith that ilumes and the viii that
defles.
"Too late p through Gods infinite world,
From His throne to life's nethermost fires
rToo late /" is phantom that flies at the daw n
OF the soul that repents and aspires.
II pure thou hast made thy desires.
There's no height the strong wings OF immoItals
may gain
Which in striving to reach thou shalt strive for
IN vain.
Then mp to the contest with fate,
Unbound by the past, which is dead
What though the hearts roses are ashes and
dust?
What though the hearts music be fed
Still shine the fair heavens oerhead;
And sublime as the angel who rules in the sun
Beams the promise of peace when the conflict
is won.
