led horses were for the negro men to ride
back on. When she arrived at the British
camp, she made known the object of her visit.
Tarleton told her that her negroes were in
camp, but remarked, "you have four fine
horses think the best thing you can do is
to return for if you remain here long you
will have to walk home" The good woman,
anxious to save her horses, took his advice
and returned, leaving the negro men with the
British. When she returned home she found
her husband at home, and on consultation it,
was determined by them to abandon their
present abode and 90 to Salisbury. Both Of
them thought that the region in which they
lived would be for q long time the seat of the
war. From Salisbury, Matthew Dickson and
family went beyond Broad river, South Car.
olina, and settled on Six-and- Twenty creek in
Pendleton district, about six miles from old
Pendleton Court House. One reason he gave
for not coming back from Salisbury to his
lands in York, was that having heard that
the town lands Joined his, he thought it would
be impossible to raise his boys right so near
little village
Matthew Dickson owned the lands west Of
the Lincoln road as far as the present corpo-
rate limits of the town. On the south they

these lands, they were taken mp by Judge
William Smith, and from him passed through

CENTENNIAL FOURTH AND LOCAL HIS.
TORIES.
MEETING AT SIMMONS HALL.


The u. S. Congress has passed a resolution re-
commencing to the people of the several States
that they assemble in the several counties or
towns next Fourth of July, and that they cause
to have delivered on such day an historical
sketch Of said county or town from its formation,
and that copy of said sketch be filed in the
Clerks office Of said county and also a copy in
the office of the Librarian of Congress.
BY this means, better and more general his
tory of the country just as it is can be obtained
than by any other method, being written by men
on the ground, and therefore more reliable than
when written by some one many miles away.
In accordance with this recommendation, a
mass meeting has been called to meet at Sim
mons Hall, next Saturday night, to take mi
tiatory steps toward carrying out this plan as far
as Kenosha County is concerned rms meeting
will perhaps appoint committees to arrange with
the Towns, to appoint committees Then these
several committees can select the committee OF
arrangements, the committee to arrange the
county and town histories, &c. The Council at
its last meeting signified willingness to do the
city share OF the work, and if the Towns and
the citizens will take hold of the matter in the
right spirit, Kenosha County may take It's proper
stand before the country as loyal and patriotic
community. Let us have celebrations worthy OF
the occasion and the county. Simmons Hall
should be filled to its utmost capacity next Sat
urday evening at eight O'Clock, sharp

AUGUSTA HARMED.
q, pretty bird, so fleet and small,
Why speed'st thou to the mountain side !?
Say, dost thou hear thy nestlings' call
Ger all the moorland lone and wide?
O, little bird, speck thou art
Mid blue infnities OF eky;
Thou hast compass and a.chavt
Within that bright and ANXIOUS eye.
Thy bosom pants within its vest
OF silver plumage gray and white,
And winging onward toward the nest,
Shy MARBLES drop from out thy flight.
'sHushi brides. hush lie close and still,
And in your dogwood cradle swing
Your hungry mouths shall have their fill,
For here is supper on the wing"
And thus the timid mother speeds
Throughout the desert wastes of air,
Nor coming storm nor tempest heeds;
Love is her shield and all hercare.

THE LADIES PETITION to the Com
mon Council at the meeting Of the 10Th
instant was not presented till after the
Committee on License had presented
their reports, and the Council had act
ed on Licenses and fixed the fees at
$75 Retail, and $25 Wholesale. The la
dies were unfortunately late in present
ing. their petition SO far as the license
fees were concerned, but in other re-
spects their action may have had a good
effect. The retail license, as fixed by
the Council, is five dollars more than it
was last year, the same as it had been
for several preceding years, and only
half of what was asked by the ladies
petition and allowed by law.
Why the Council should fix the Ii
cense at SO low rate may be known
to themselves, but whatever it may be,
their action has been disappointment
to the better portion of our people. BY
them it was hoped and generally ex-
pected that the Council would set the
license at 800 at least. Having fixed
the license before the delegation Of la
dies presented and read their petition
perhaps the Council were not aware OF
the general public feeling in relation tc
the amount of the license. Becoming
aware Of the public feeling the Coun
Gil can reconsider their action and raise
the license fee. And it is to be hoped
that their will be at least seven of the
thirteen members of the Common
Council who will have sufficient regard
to the general feeling, the public good
and their oath of office, to increase thu
license fee, and to limit the number O
licenses.

APRIL.

listen for TIE voice OF song,
And hear murmur in the trees
OF April in a itful breeze,
Who says thy growing wings are strong.
Rise! Barn thy Winter robe to-day
Thus did the poet Omar sing:
The Bird of Time is on the wing,
He autsers but little way.
Behold the dawnlng OF voice!
Hold hard tn sorrow of thy heart,
For music keener makes the smart;
The singer waits not on our choice.
In the new dawn hear his note;
He fingers while the roses blow,
Then goes-oh, where ?-I do not know
On what bright waves my darlings float.
