The poet Longfellow completed his roth
year on Tuesday of last week The day was
very appropriately made red.letter day by
his friends, who, all day long, called upon
him and sent HIM congratulatory letters and
bouquets of flowers. Longfellow's genius
and imagination seem brighter than ever, in
his old age. His best poems have been his
latest. From trio Of sonnets in the March
atlantic we copy the following, appropriate
to his late anniversary:
AS fond mother, when the day is DER,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed
Half willing, half reluctant to be led
And leave his broken piaythings on the floor
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wholly treasured and comforted
BY promises Of others in their stead
Which, though more splendid, may not please
him more;
So Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our p!aythings, one by one, ana by the hand
Leads us to rest so gently, that we go
Scarce knowing If we wish to 90 or stay,
Being too full Of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the what we
know.

For some time there has been quite

On last Friday, Mr.. Lyon was bruis-

happened to see party Of young per-
sons coming in who seemed to he mat
rimonially inclined. So he followed
them to the clerks Office and finding
his surmises to be correct, he invited
them down to the Lyon House, threw
open the parlor, sent for the preacher,
Rev. w. w. Cook, and had sure
enough wedding in his house. Mr.
King heard of it that evening and de-
termined not to.be out-done, so he put
his wits to work and with the aid OF
DR.. Griffin and few of the good ma
irons hereabouts, he succeeded in
having a Wedding at his house on Sat,

Monday Of last week will long
be remembered as the coolest day that
has been experienced by our citizens
for number Of years, the thcrmome-
ter registering about sixteen degrees
below zero, with the most cutting
wind We ever felt to give 1t still more
severity. On the above named day,
three citizens Of this county, Thomas
Baird, Lemuel Craig and boy about
fourteen years old,namcd Willie Ellis,
all Of whom reside within 4 short Dis
tancc Of this place, started to Owenr-
boro with two wagon loads Of tobacco.
Their wagons were drawn by oxen,
which caused them 70 be on the road
the entire day and until after mid
night tia. night. When they reached
the city they were found to be frozen,
and Immediately the most skillful
physicians TO he found were called to
render them medical attention. Since
their arrival at home our physicians
have visited them, from whom we
learn these unforturateS are all in bad
conditions. Mr.. Craig seems to have
flred the worst, as both his feet are
very badly frozen, and one may proba-
bly, have to be amputated. Mr.. Bairds
injuries are not SO severe, yet bid
enough. The boy will not fare so badly
AZ Baird or Craig, and no permanent
injuries are predicted for him.
