brother Ike was providentially not in
the house at the time, but was in the
corn crib which stands a few feet
from the house. He was thrown over

side of tae creek. He rushed across
the bridge which was already becom-
ing insecure, and carrying them Is he
supposed out of danger from the wa
ter, placed them upon feather bed,
and returned to the opposite side Of
the creek, found his brother lying
senseless in the water, and pulled him
to the high ground and tied him to q
tree with a rope, thinking that when
he became conscious, he would in his
confusion rush into water and drown;
returned again to Mrs. ID. and the
child in time to catch them as they
were floating down stream on their
bed. Turning around he saw the
bridge which he had just quilted
carried away by the foaming torrent,
which had now reached the proper.

returned and had the woman and
child carried TO the residence Of Mrs.
Finn, about one mile from the scene

has since been removed.
The damage to property at the
above mentioned places will foot up
something as follows: At Thomas

THE LAND WELOVE.

To thee be glory in the coming years,
Land we love, Land We love
BY fathers blood and by our mothers tears
Wen stand by thee, Oh! land We love.
When we shattered the sword of England's
might,
Freedom called this dear land her own;
And the darkness gave place to golden light
For through the clouds, OH land we love,
the stars of glory shone!
Low unto thee shall all the nations bow,
Land We love, land we love!
Columhia's sons shall truly keep their vow
All lands shall praise thee, Land we love,
Now the heavens kindly bend to thy en-.
brace,
While the starr'd skies thy banners are;
May the God Of our nation show His grace,
And spread His all protecting arm above
each State and star.

listened to the eloquence of the ma,
they had kept faithful to republican
ism. There South Carolina sent its &C
complished Gadsden and its eloquen,
Ru.ledge, and New York, heroic
and afflicted, its Livingston and Jay.
An assemblage honorable and trust
worthy, intelligent, patriotic, cour-
ageous, listened to the great discus
sion with patience, although they
were already pledged to independ-
ence, and heard without alarm the
misgivings of its foes. 1t is not inn
proper to infer that Dickinson open
ed the debate with solemn picture
of the vast power Of their enemy Of
the disunion among their own peo-
pie, of the great army landing at New
York or pressing down from Canada
to chase them to the wild woods, of
the clemency Of England, and the
loyalty to its king. To this appeal
John Adams rose to reply. He was
in the full vigor Of manhood, earnest
conscientious, hot, impetuous. His
sonorous voice ran through the vener-
able room, and his energy startled
grave members from their seats. He
painted, we may infer, the wrongs of
the people and the crimes Of their op
pressors; he reviewed in stately pc
rods their inccssant and useless ap-
peals for redress; he serveyed the
vast continent around him, and, rapt
by the solemn theme, declared with
poetic ardor that the hour of freedom
had come; he pointed to the millions
Of the future who would bless the
counsels that given them liberty, and
fortold the mighty revolution in gov.
ernments and nations that must fol-
low the triumph of freedom on tina,
decisive day. All the Congress, ap-
paren,ly inspired like himself, gave a
unanimous assent to his appeal. Ey-
cry colony voted for universal free
dom. Jefferson was left TO prepare
the Declaration Of Independence,
and the 4th Of July, li.G, heard the
peal Of the venerable bell that rang
out liberty TO all mankind, and the
words of wise forecast that proclaim
ed to the nations the coming sover-
iegntv Of the people.
In 1876 let us repeat the exulting
cry of Adams, Jefferson and Lee. A
hundred years of progress have rails
ed hundred millions Of men TO
new sense Of freedom. America is a
Europe has pressed on to-
ward liberty, the world is nearly free.
The Fourth Of July has become the
most noted in the annals
IF mankind, the birthday of human
freedom, the epoch of unbounded
hope. EUGENE LAWRENCE.

Defend your rights, defend your shore;

Invade the shrine where sacred lies,
OF toll and blood the well-earned prize.
While offering peace sincere and just,
In heaven we place manly trust
That truth and justice will prevail,
And every scheme of bondage fail.

General Sherman gave the follow
ing advice to the Cadets at West
Point:
II give you hearty welcome to
the army. Don't be afraid-you are
all, every one of you, as good as Grant
when he stood here few years ago.
You have it in your power to follow
in his footsteps and perhaps earn as
high distinction as he has won. This
is not to be done, however, by gam
bling and drinking or sleeping in the
back room of . suffers store. When
you fight, fight well. Win and for
get your fight As soon as you can.
And now 60 home and soc your
friends, and mingle with the ladies
they are more attractive than bar
rooms and billiard rooms.

A Story Of the Connecticut State
Prison.

Apropos of the amelioration of dis
cipline in the Connecticut state prison
during the past 80 years, the story OF
Pool, of New Haven, sentenced for
life for burning his store, is told once
more. Another man on his death bed
confessed the crime, but Pool did not
i've to reap the fruits of the confes-
sion. Naturally of fine sensibilties
and noble manhood, he became at
last frenzied by cruel treatment, and
forfeited his life. Pool was placed
in the shoe shop and compelled to
finish six pairs day. Unused to
work, it was with great pain that he
accomplished this task. But the
greedy contractors, not content, soon
increased the burden to eight pairs.
An expostulation or murmur only
brought blow. An eye turned to
Heaven for help was answered with
the lash. No eye could look up.
With this task, Pool found his health
failing, his mind going. His nerves
were unbalanced by the least irrita-
tion. The sweat poured from his
brow, and for wiping it off he was
reprimanded and punished. Every
keeper seemed watching with an evil
eye and taunting him with threats
and ieers. To add to his distress his
task was increased to 10 pairs. He
demurred, protested, flew into rage.
That night, he was flogged, thrust
into the dungeon, without food, with
out bed, and, next day, with his
back all raw and not moment Of
sleep, with but crust for his food,
he was ordered to finish IL pair.
Pool felt that the hour of his dissolu-
tion had come. Innocent Of the
crime alleged, yet having no hope of
liberty on earth, he concealed knife,
and resolved to sell his life as dearly
as he could. He did what he was
able to do of the task, that day, and
even more, but the bell struck and
the eleven pairs were not finished.
With fiendish malignity the keepers
ordered him to the dungeon to await
the warden. The warden came, and,
without listening to entreaty or hear
ing word of explanation, ordered
him to strip himself to the raw flesh
again, place his hands against the
wall, and receive the lashes on his
already lacerated back. "No, never"
said Pool. "Take that!" and Warden
Webster fell dead. From that hour
cats and shower baths and brutalities
in general were a. a discount in the
institution. Brute force was found
Improbable. Contractors demanded
coffee and wholesome food and better
treatment for the men, on the plea
that they would do more work.
