Ten thousands OF patriot freemen
Went forth ut the beat Of the drum,
To rescue our dear, bleeding country,
Or fall ere the task was done.
All, we'll remember the morning
When our brave boys babe us adieu;
How proudly they marched to the music,
Arrayed in the National blue.
Beneath Southern myrtle and roses
Sleep many Of that patriot band.
How nobly they fought, but have fallen
Far, far from their dear native land,
Those true men will ne'er be forgotten,
Their memory, still cherished, will be
As long as the flag OF the Union
Floats over the land of the free.
Their names on the proud scroll Of honor
Emblazoned in beauty shall shine
Through all the bright, glad, future ages,
Entwined with glory divine.
How gladly We welcomed the morning
When those who were spared returned,
Bright laurels Of victory wearing,
The laurels so proudly they earned.
We ne'er can forget how they suffered;
How patiently hardships were borne;
How bravely they met every danger
And brought back our banners untcrn.

CoRRECTIoN.-Oura account last week
of the disturbance at the house of John
Diggins, north of the Poor Farm, and the
accident to his wife, was derived from the
best sources attainable, but We learn was
not quite correct, and did injustice to a
worthy and innocent party. We now
learn through reliable sources that it was
not Mr.. Smith that grasped the pole and
offered violence to Mr.. Diggins, by means
of which the wife of the latter was
wounded. The party who did this was
Steve Bray, and the only part that Mr..
Smith took in the matter was to stand off
and look on. There is no doubt that
Bray, who is not regarded as model
citizen by his neighbors, was clearly in
the wrong, that he sought a cause to quar-
rel with Smith and Diggins, and that they
did nothing but what almost any man
would have done when abused and in
suited In his own house by a coward and
bully

The Bermuda papers give the following
particulars of the most shocking lncl
dent of the destructive tornado which
recently passed over that part OF the
island known as fuckers Town. In 1T
course It lifted wooden house, with it,
| inmates--Mr. Daniel Smith, his wife ana
four children-bodily some ten feet from
its foundation, and, after splintering 1t
into pieces, threw the debris into the
water, about one hundred yards off. Mrs
! Smith was found on the opposite shore,
across the bay, some three hundred or
four hundred yards, soon after the catas-
trophe, Clinging to plank Of the house.
Her body was fearfully lacerated. She
expired in about six hours. The bodies
of the four children were recovered the
next morning-three not far from the
shore near their late home, the other
near the opposite shore where its untor-
tunate mother was found. Smith, prior
to the event, was sitting by an open win
dow--his wife had just put three OF the
children to bed, and the Oldest was get
ting ready for bed-and, hearing the sin
gular noise made by the storm, called to
his wife to know if she heard it, and
asked what it was, when the house was
lifted bodily from the foundation and
carried off. Here his consciousness left
him, and he recollects nothing further
until he recovered his senses some little
time after, when he found himself forced
in between oleander trees some twenty
feet from his late residence, doubtless
thrown there through the window as the
house was turned by the wind. Smith
likens the noise made by the approaching
storm to the roaring of cataract while
a hundred pieces of heavy ordnance were
being discharged simultaneously. It |
would seem that the whirlWind, with
fearful rushing noise, struck the shore
from seward, wrenching stout limbs from
trees in its way, and in some spots where
no wind in a straight course, if ever SO
violent, would do harm, this whirlwind
caused much havoc. 1t passed along and

Frequent accidents show that kerosene
Elamps are more or less dangerous from
tendency to explode; and II they do, Il
is always caused by the vapor or gas that
collects in the space above the oil. When
full Of oil, Of course lamp contains ne
gas; but Immediately on lighting The
lamp, consumption Of oil begins, soon
leaving a space Of gas, which commences
to form as the lamp warns up, and, after
burning a short time, sufficient gas will
accumulate to form an explosion. The
gas in a lamp win explode only when
ignited; in this respect it is like gum
powder. Cheap or inferior oil is always
the most dangerous, while on the other
hand the superior qualities of oil, which
stand a high FIRE test, are almost as safe
as rape oil. The fame is communicated
to the gas in the following manner: The
wick-tube In all lamp burners is made
larger than the wick which is to pass
through it. It would not do to have the
wick tightly in the burner; on thecoun-
try, it is essential that il should move
up and down with perfect ease. In this
way it is unavoidable that space in the
tube is left along the sides of the wick
sufficient for the fame from the burner
to pass down into the lamp and explode
the gas. Many things may occur to
cause the fame TO pass down the wick.
A lamp may be standing on table or
and slight puff of air from the
open window, or sudden opening of |
door, may do it; or a lamp may be taken
up quickly from a table or mantel, or |
taken into entry where there is a strong |
iraught, or out OF doors, or taken up a
eight of stairs; in all these cases the
mischief is done by the air movement,
,ither by suddenly checking the dfaught
IT forcing air down the chimney against
he flame. Blowing down the chimney
o extinguish the light is a frequent
ause of explosion. Lamp explosions
ave also been caused by using Chin
ley broken off at the top, or one that
las a piece broken out, whereby the
raught is variable and the fame I'M
teady; or sometimes a thoughtless per-
on puts a smallsized wick in large
uner, thus leaving a considerable space
long the edges of the wick. After all,
he best precaution is not to buy cheap
erosene, but a good article, especially
bat put up in sealed cans, which thus {
an not be adulterated by the stOrekeep- !
/ with dangerous benzine; it is cheap
