eome Orangemen returning from q
picnic, Monday, July 18th. anniversary
Battle of the Boyne, were attacked by
mob in the streets Of Lawrence, Mass.
When will the wearers of the Green and
Orange learn to entwine their colors and
bury their miserable chickering's and big
otry in the grave Of the past. where SO
many unhappy victims to the evil pas
sions of both sides have been sent ''un-
anointcd and unknelled?" It is time we
heard the last of these disturbances. and
it is also time those who participate in
them should be taught that Orangemen
or I.emonmen, or any other kind OF men,
have perfect right to parade the streets
and make themselves as ridiculous as
possible, so long as they do not outrage
public decencY or violate the laws.
A few days since (savs the Cork EG-
aminer) as Mr.. Dennis P. Twomey was
digging in Barracharaun bog, near Don
oghmore, county Cork, he came upon
a ball of tallow, of about Abs. weight.
It was lying about five and half feet
from the surface OF the bog, which was
quite solid above it, and it really seems
very difficult to explain how it came
there, unless it was left there previous
to the formation OF the bog, which must
have been many centuries ago. The
tallow was very dirty in color, and there
was the mark of two fingers having been
driven through it; when melted at the
fire it was in every respect like modern
tallow. Eight or nine years before, in 9
field near BY. Mr.. Twomey found two
pounds weight of tallow beneath the sur
face of the earth.
State of Ireland's Crops.-Never be
fore, perhaps, have the crops looked t
better advantage than at present, no
has there been for years such goo'
| prospect tor an abundant harvest. Thu
drought, which prevailed to an almos
alarming extent in May, has been NOR
than counterbalanced by the copiou
rains which have since fallen, the resul
being that vegetation has received ;
most beneficial impetus, the grain crop
and meadows thriving apace, although
it had been feared that the latter woul'
be an unusually light crop. Farmers
however, are now beginning to lool
anxiously forward tor sunshine to ma
ture the crops, which now stand in sue
need of it, and should it be the will
Providence to grant it, the brightes
hopes of the tiller of the soil can nc
fail to become realized.

Remarkable Discovery.

A most remarkable discovery of hui
man remains was recently made on Fri
day (says the Derry JournaD, in bog
in the townland Of Drumgallon, near
Drumquia county, Tyrone. Some men
cutting turf accidently came on the
skeleton Of a man, seemingly full dress
ed, and tied with ropes to some boards,
with two handspikes on each side, and
two hoped sticks in which the hands
apparently rested. The body was en-
veloped il what had the appearance OF
a larg military cloak. while around the
waist was belt in which had been
stuck knife, horse comb, q common
comb and some other articles whose uses
are now unknown here. On the legs
were tight trousers, reaching to the knee,
over which stockings seemed to have
been drawn, and then strapped on and
buckled. On the feet were curiously
made shoes and silver buckles, and the
hands had gloves, while on the head
the hair OF which still remains, and mus
have reached to the shoulder-was .
long cap. The discovery has created
much interest in the locality, and many
surmises are afloat as to who the deceas
ed was. That he was soldier seem
pretty certain, but who he was, or how
or when he met his death, remains 81
far a mystery, which, it is hoped, ma.
soon be satisfactorily solved. If tn
| articles found on the body were forward
ed to the Royal Irish Academy, the,
might serve to throw some light on tn
affair.

GOD SAVE OUR NOBLE UNION.
BY II. CLAY PREUss.

From volume of poems, now in press, en-
tiled ssThe Drama OF '76 and other Patriotic
,cems for the Centennial"
It came to us through darkness;
1t came to rs through blood;
It shone out like the promise
OF God upon the FLOOD.
A beacon, it has served US
With tue, unerring na1ne'
And cast blaze Of glory
Upon our nations NAM
God save our noble Union!
Twas left us by our fathers,
Those souls of priceless worth
The noblest type OF manhooo
That ever walk d the earth.
Twas fought with fearful struggles,
By sacrifice sublime;
And stands proud momento
For all the coming tmt'
God save our noble Union
Our land a waste Of nature,
Where beast and savage strayeo'
It's wealth of lakes and rivers
Unlocked by keys OF trade:
Then sun-like rose the Union
A terror to our Toes,
And 10! this "waste Of nature"
Now blossoms as rose,
God save our noble Union
Where earth lay hid for ages,
In deep, primeval gloom,
Behold boundless garden
A constituent in bloom!
With iron bands OF railroads,
Electric tongues of wire,
And energies within us
Which time shall never tire;
God save our noble Union

The st. Louis radical paper, the
Gtote Democrat, wants the next ma
tional democratic convention 10
meet at st. Louis. 1t says that
nearly all the other cities arc re-
minders of defeat, and thinks that
ST. Louis might lie more lucky for
the Democratic party This is n
strong argument. Missouri AMI st.
Louis are celebrated for democratic
success and we are sure the whole
South would hail with delio hit, the
news of the selection of St. Louis as
the place At which 10 hold the con-
vention that is to nominate the next
President Of the United Stases. \
national democratic convention has
never been held west of Chicago,
and we think it high time tho En-
turc Great City was given chance.
= Vicksburg Monitor.
We agree with the Monitor fully.
Tho entire South would hail with
unusual delight the announcement
that St. Louis had been selected as
the place at which the next nation
al democratic convention would be
held, because we believe its iufu-
ence would produce a spontaneous
party growth in the West which
would spread through the entire
South, insuring beyond doubt the

CHAs. NoRDHoFF has pleased the
Southern Democrats so well by his
letters to the Herald, that we fancy
they would not object If he were to
Carpet-beg" for years among them,,
1t is not tire carpet-bag that seems
to trouble the Southern Democracy,

Of course, that's what's tho mat

comes with it, that we object to.
Bnt it so happens that Mr.. Nord-
hoff came to the South neither as Il
office seeker nor as voter, but for
the sole purpose of writing q true
history of our local affairs for the

he reported things just as he found
them without prejudice and with
out favor. And notwithstanding
this self constituted advisor and
critic sees no good in us, but think,

apprehend that the character and
influence of the Herald will not be
greatly disturbed by any thing that
the partisan spirit of the P:ttsburg
Democrat may prompt its writer's

The amount bid and paid for the
claim was one hundred dollars. A
short tine since, this claim was al
lowed by the Board at Washington,
appointed by Congress to adjudicate
these claims, and Judge Hudson will
realize one half of the handsome
sum from the purchase-Mrs. Min

awarded with Judge Hudson. We

Resolutions of the Lone Pine Grange

Farmers Vindicator
MAJOR WALL: At the regular
meeting of Lone Pine Grange, held
at our hall on the gid of May, the
following preamble and 'resolu ions
were presented by Bro 6. W. Davis.
and unanimously adopted, viz:
Whereas, We fear and believe it
TO be the design of the ruling pow
ers at Washington to bring about,
if possible, war of races in the
Southern States prior to the next
Presidential election, and
Whereas, Governor Ames has APP
proved an Act passed by our late
corrupt Legislature, establishing a
standing army in our midst, with
the evident design to intimidate and
overawe the already overburdened
tax-paye rs Of our state; and also an
other Act giving him Governor
Ames) the power to appoint Tax
Collector in any county after the
citizens thereof have expressed their
choice for such an officer in the elcc-
ton of a Sheriff to collect the same !;
and
Whereas, These obnoxious Acts
have been declared ard pronounced
unconstitutional and oppressive to
the people by the first legal talent
in our state, and aleO by some of the
highest judicial tribunals; therefore,
be it
Resolved That we, the members
of this Grange, abhor aid deprecate
the above mentioned Acts, and that
we most respectfully and earnestly
request and beseech Governor Ames
not to enforce the same and that
ii said Acts be carried into execu-
ton, that we as peaceable aud law
citizcns will use all fair
means in our power to prevent
their effect, believing as we do that
such a course Oh our part is the on
ly way to escape the mischief to
which they point.
Resolved, That we earnestly in
vite all the Subordinate Oranges in
the state to take these matters into
consideration, working
the County Oranges, and
to report their action through our
paper, the Farmer indicator, with
out delay, and that the Master of
the State Grange will note the 'ac-
ton of all the County Oranges, and
give us his views and counsel by
the first of September next
Resolved, That we believe that
our state has been ruled by incom-
potent, ignorant and corrupt men
long enough, and that we how call
upon all good and honest men, re-
yardless Of creed, color or condition, to
come 10 the front and make one |
manly effort to eXtricatc our good |
Did state from its present thraldom
and place her once more in the paths |
Of happiness and prosperity.
Resolved, That our delegates to
the County Grange bc instructed to
BRING these matters up for consid-
ration at the next meeting of that
Body and that Il copy of these res
buttons be sent to the indicator.
With the request that they be pub
i~hcd for the benefit of all concern
I'll.

function Of the Office cannot be ia

pies announced, lead to the conclu-
