THE POTOMAC RIVER.

We find re-publshed in the Georgetown Co"r

ger, OF this county, whilst Minister to Denmark
Wee Potomac, mid the mountains,
Prattling, toddling like child,
Nourished by the singing fountains,
Feeding thee with music wild.
Strong Potomac, adolescent,
Rushing recklessy along,
Or like youth where love is present,
Ripping with a dreamy song.
Grand Potomac, monarch river,
Claiming tribute every where,
From thy vassals who deliver,
Willingly, each one his share
Noble river, onward flowing,
Through rugged pass, or quiet glade,
Where the grim old forests growing
Gloom thy waters with their shade
Softly nowing-moving only
Where the fertile meadow teens,
Roaring through the mountains lonely,
Where the eagle scars and screams.
Gentle now and calm as maiden
Cndisturhed by love may be,
Now with wrath and fury laden,
Whirling madly to the sea.
Now, thy full free volume rolling
Where the village spire ascends;
Now, Of city bells the tolling,.
With thy softer music blends.
In thine anger calling loudly,
To the rocks thy shores upon;
But in silence marching proudly
By the tomb Of WAsHNGToS.
Noble river am praying
Once again thy banks 10 see,
Where from morn till evening straying,
Ny young footsteps wont to be.
Where, with one since passed to heaven,
have oulled such precious flowers
As. alas are rarely given
To this weary life OF ours.
All. when this sad life is ended
This dull dream of pain is DER
When my heart with dust is blended,
Let me rest upon thy shore !

all the tags off the cotton bales sent there for
shipment, thereby causing a great deal OF
trouble in shipping the cotton. Tie other day
the clerks surrounded about dozen Of the
goats and succeeded in driving them into a
car alongside the platform and fastening the
door. That night there was a car load OF
goats going north, hitched to freight train.
The car was left at indianapolis, and the next
day the doot was thrown open and the goats
rushed out and made raid through the town,
upsetting and butting clerks, hands, boxes,
bales, &c, as they escaped. Not being ap-
priced Of the shipment by way bill the Indi-
annapolis clerks chased them all over town,
endeavoring to catch them, Of course believing
the company would have to pay for them as
"lost freight" if they were not caught. BY
night oil were caught and put back in the
car. 4 despatch was sent to the station man

It was beneath bright summer sun that
Mary Z. Surratt was murdered. The press oil
the United States was amply represented. a
majority of it applauded the cowardly crime.
When the improvised trap fell, and swung
back, and left her body dangling liieless on
the fatal rope, there were generals and officers
of the nations bearing its uniform, whose but
tons and shoulder straps slittered in the bright
rays. Save good Father Walter no voice ut
tered ''God bless her !" as she fell. The SOL
diers that paced the top Of the surrounding
walls made no sign. Several turned away
their heads, sickened BY The sight, and awed
to see a deed done in the nineteenth century
that in the fourteenth would have been dele
gated to the secreces Of dungeon or the
knife of a solitary bravo.
