Sale Day.

Last Monday was Sale Day. Rain fell
a greater Inrti0n of the day and prevent
ed a larger attendance. At this season OF
the wear, when the ttrmers are at leisure
the Public Square IS usually crowded
but not SO last Monday. Many sales
were made by the Sheriff and the prices
realized indicated quite all Improvement
IN our financial condition. Many of the
lands sold we'll. while other tracts seemed
to bring rs low figures as ever. The pros
poets of the new railroad has materially
advanced the prices of land along the
prop ,sed route, and planters with a If.
plus of land on their hands have good
reason to congratulate themselves at the
turn land has taken. Everybody seemed
intent on attending the sales, and but lit
tie merchandise was sold, and but few
bills were settled. There was less drum
ker ness than we ever saw on n wet chilly
Sale Day in the fall or winter months.
The following figures will show the
prices paid for lands:

matter has recently conc to. light Which
1or the time created quite little ripple of ex-
element in this usually quiet town. In the
early part Of last September man came to this
place with his family, with the intention, rs he
stated, Of making it his home. He gave his
name as David Bewick, and said that he was
from Canada. He purchased small place Of
Mr. Dawson, paying s50o-a part Of tho pur-
ehase-money-down in cash, and took possession
Of it. he proved no valuable addition to the
society Or neighborhood. He was morose and
resesved, disinclined to make friends or
aequaintances His desire seemed to be that
be might be let alone, and his desire
VAS gratiled. The people here, unlike those of
many other places, have peculiar gifts in this
direction, when so inclined. Bewick had been
here but short time when Constable Joe Bar
eiard received orders to shadow him. as he was
suspected to be 4 fugitive from justice having
enansed check on the Federal Bank, OF York
'llle, Canada, from $50 to $500, drawn the
money, and left for the States under an as
t1ned name. From descriptions given him the
queer was pretty certain lie was OH tue r1snt
scent The game at Inst took fight, so closely
sas he watched, and On the o3d Of last month
111ed to Chicago. He took rooms IN m OBJ
scure hotel, and was there arrested by Officer
oalenafd on the 9Th Inst. On the 9th Inc
gElsoner Was taken back to yorkvillc BY a
canadian officer. 'Bewick's family are in CHI
esgo in reduced circumstances.
W. Dawson has moved back into his house
again. He is $500 ahead, and Is again ready for
another Canadian purchaser.

Lite rings out varying change with each new breath
No like event twice grects the sun;
Some lives are doomed to many bitter deaths,
While some know scarcely one
Not TO the young and strong ia gwen the race,
Nor Is the weak the first to falls; -
Though sapless trunks hundred furies face,
The green snaps In the gale.
Some lives do naucht, some many tasks perform ;

OF all that IL, but change is uniform
Sarght else is what 1t seems.
Out Of each phase of Time some new freaks burst
Each boasts its clown and harlequin.
The hobby Of day, tomorrow cursed;
Ones good. anothers sin!
A worlds magniacence, its pomp and pride,
Sink down meath Lethe's waveless flood;
The pyranlidal monsters. time deded, =.
Must erst III ruins brood,
Now Eeypt's dead, once holding worlds In trance,
What Egy or strong three thousand cycles hence
May our owL bones enshelft
And still come blind md cropping earthly mo1es
Dream their faint fame above all laws,

And 1--we their own applause.

Pricked through by Times relentless force,
Ere life has run its course.

SOUNDS FROM THE HEART,

We sit side by side, and between us here
is the love TINT We thought would never die.
Why has It lived single yearT .-.
Who murdered 1t? iou or1?-1nonu7noHs. or
The story has been read, the story oldcn,
And the romance Of our lives is ended now;
The freedom that thou crayest, return IT,
With each oft-repcatcd pledge and maiden VOW.
Let the past with all its shadows and its sorrows
BE thing forgotten. LcnFn to hate
Him who marrel thy womanhuod's fair gloTy,-
He who would return 1t when too late.
From the sacred page OF Memory blot each letter
or name so foudly cherished, but IN vain,
To the bitterness that crowns Life's wasted sweet
ness,
Leave one heart to bear alone its curse Of pain.
Had'st thou loved me more-O that I'd never met
thee!-
The anguish of this hour Ind nc'er been thine;
Indst thou trusted less the words OF Idle scorners,
The lips that part III now had ne'er been mine.
ehali pass along the path that Fate has destined,
Hoping gainxt all hope that there may be,
III the mystic curtaincd days that no man know
eth.
The dawning Of new life hid for me.
So the verdict Of our loves, as now tits written,
Builds living wall forever tween us twain:
Obi the bitter truth cuts Deep but leares no sfaan
The story is now rcad the romance ended;
Dfsqnited and forever. So tits satd.
Tue freedom thou hast won, o wear 1t proudly
In menloriam OF 4 love, thank God that's dead

There is no doubt much suffering froI

There is no doubt much suffering from
want of employment, though the distress in
consequence is greatly exaggerated, as in
point Representative Ewing, in his recent
speech in Congress favoring the repeal of
the Resumption act, made the assertion that
the president of the Dayton and Southeast
ern Railroad had told him that hundreds of
men had been offering to work on the road
for bread and meat. Col. D. Z. Mead, presi-
dent of the road mentioned, authorizes the
statement that men have never yet offered
to work for bread and meat, and that the
company has, in fact, much trouble in en-
ploying laborers at good wages. 1t may
further be said that the contractors of the
Springfield Jackson and Pomeroy Narrow
Gauge Road are also needing large num-
Der of men to work on their road, and offer
good wages to all who will apply for steady
employment.

When man boasts that he never
bolted a ticket in his life" that he never
voted for man belonging to the opposite
party for an office, and declares that he
never will, other people are warranted in
holding him to be a demagogue, or a knave,
or fool. But, says an exchange, Senator
Patterson, who made this kind of q declara-
ton before the Senate, a day or two ago, has
had the misfortune to be proved a knave
for other and more weighty reasons. While
he is very prominent figure in the Senate
determining the rights of other men to a
seat there, committee of the Legislature Of
his own State is pioclaiming him knave
elected to his high office by the grossest kind
of personal bribery and corruption. There
does not seem to be any question of the
truth of the charges made against him, fol
they are reasonable, and supported by Q
great mass of testimony, largely gathered
from his followers and adherents. If the
Senate could for few days, rise above party
spirit, or sink below it like Patterson, there
might still be some uncertainty about But
ler's admission, but none about Patterson's
expulsion.
