The GREAT TRIAL.-Just a closing
word about the scandal. The siege
of Moulton is ended at last and it has
left Frank stronger man in the con-
fidence Of his friends than he was at
the start. Mr.. Beechcr's lawyers ex-
erted themselves 10 the utmost 70 de-
strOy him as witness and failed ul>
terly. In fact, Que of them, Gen.
Tracy, got more damage from Frank
than the witness got from EvaIts,
Porter, Tracy and Shearman combin>
ed. During his cross-examinniion,
lasting nearly two weeks, Moullon
was not once confused or driven an
inch from tho main point Of his origi-
nal statements. He has admitted that
he told falsehoods over and over to
protect Beecher, but nothing more
damaging than this have the lawyers
been able to get from him. 1t is not
my province TO give opinions. but I
may al loast say that Plymouth
Church will have a very difficult job
to get its pastor out Of this snarl. 1t
will spare no means to do 30, but it is
very closely watched and some i'm
pcrtant disclosures concerning at.
iempts on the jury may be expected.
Tiltou's lawyers are wide awake and
keep the ruu OF all that is going on
behind the cenes.-Seymour, N. Y.

When the Confederate army, under

The treasure was carried down to
Charlotte. North Carolina, where the
railroed ended. At this place it was
decided to leave the II ouey belonging

The Cottage long the Brook.
BY DAVID M. CoofRr:. . \ ),

There stands beside a murmuring brook.
A little cottage prim and neat,
Tho running vines climb round the door,
And 'bove the window easement meet,
There's weeping willows all around
This little cottage long the brook,
And evergreen grows long the walk,
And fiowrets bloom In every nook.
From all the neighb'rlng groves around,
The little songsters come in throngs,
And light among the willow trees,
And warb!e out their sweetest songs,
And when the balmy voice Of spring,
Is lisping 'mong the tiny leaves,
The swallows WOO their mates, and build
Their nests among the cottage caves.
At evening when the shadows Of e's
The stately pines are growing long,
Down by the cottage long the brook,
The cuckoo sings its goodnight song,
The shy fox never creops around
This quiet cottage home at night,
While half-tamed hares at nighps pale n opl
Go leaping round with nau2ht to fright.
Now do not think 1t strange because
Pm want to picture out the place,
For It's the happy home of one
With sunshine ever on her face;
IT'S thore she dwells In happiness,
Unknown along the brooklet side,
The world has never shared her love,
Her home il yet her only pride.

STATE AID MEETING.


An enthusiastic meeting was held
In Reedy & Persons Hall, Saturday
afternoon, for the purpose of taking
some steps to secure the passage of the
internal Improvement BILL" now be-
fore the General Assembly.
The meeting was called to order by
G. J. Hall, Esq, Mr.. Dorsey being
made chairman, and Mr.. Hoff, of Lin
soln, was elected Secretary.
Joseph Birchinal, Esq, ex-Speak er
OF the House of Representatives, being
present as a representative from Frede.
rica, was called upon to make speech.
Mr.. Birchinal said that he was a repre-
sentative of large assembly held in
Frederick that morning. and that it
was unanimously in favor of State
aid. That with them it was financially
a question of life or death. He set
forth the advantages of competition
and spoke at length upon the financial
condition of the State.
Mr.. Rose next addressed the m Meeting
and thought the time had come when
the expression of the people sh ould be
emphatically made. This measure, he
said, was demanded by the people and
it was nothing more than Just and
right that they should have it. He
took the ground that the increased
value of the land would more than
compensate for the money, even if the
| State should have tito pay. Besides,
| the roads would certainly be worth
half of what they cost.
DR.. Davidson then offered q resolu-
tion to this effect That it was the
duty of Senators and Representative
to vote the sentiments of their constit-
uency, and if they knowingly did not,
they deserve and should receive the
censure of the people.
He then said nothing twas further
from his intentions than to reflect
upon any member of the Legislature,
but thought it was the right of the
people to- make known their interests,
and wishes TO their representa-
itives, and should they then vote
lagainst these interests they certainly
Ishould and would incur the displea
