Asa Field Of Falmouth two years ago got
down hearted on account of debts aud hard
times and his mind at length became so much
affected that he took to the fields and woods.
He was sent to the Asylum and guardian
appointed. Last fall he was taken to his
house in Falmouth when he at once took his
bed and although his flesh and appetite in
dictate 20 great bodily disease he is still in bed
having kept it ever since. Last September
license was obtained to sell real estate, and
about 80 acres of land on the Grand Trunk
railroad about one mile above Falmouth station
opening on to one of the cross roads from the
Foreside road; portion of it good grass lard
free from stones, and level enough to cut well
with machine, producing six tons or more
Of good hay last year; the remainder being
wood and pasture land. Near the railroad is
having been made there. Those in the Marine
Hospital came from this yard, which still has
the natural conveniences for this business
And yet at the time appointed not one bidder
was present, the sale was postponed although
debts were pressing hard until this sprino
when it was tried again with a like result and
now legally advertised sale Of this property
stands for the second time adjourned to Mon
day, May q, 1878, at 2 O'Clock p. M; having
received four hundred dollars as the largest
bid for land valued at $1,000, in giving bond
and needed to pay debts now amounting to
over $500. Are times SO hard that there is no
money in Cumberland county to make good
bargain with for such an object?

wife, just before the kiss and "good-by" at
the summer hotel in the morning, as the

3. My new braid from the hair store.
4. Half a dollars worth of nainsook.
8. Box pearl powder from my upper

6. Modern Minister" from Loring's

Arriving in town he forgot all about the
list till late in the afternoon, and then
couldn't find it in any of his pockets, but
hadn't he read it over, and didn't he recol-
lect it all? OF course he did, and this is what
he brought home to his expectant wife:
l. Two heads of blue cabbage.
2. Three yards handsome netting (mos-
quito).
8. Some blue braid.
4. Half dollars worth of canned soup.
8. Box of seidlitz powders and PAIR of
drawers.
6. Loring said he hadn't got any such
book as "The Mug and Canister in the
library.

CovIEGToN, Ind, Aug. Sit is probable
that John Lee, of Charlottesville, will re
ceive the democratic nomination for con-
gress in this dictrict at Lafayette next Thurs
day. In case he is nominated he will make
formidable competitor for the republican
candidate. Large ability, untiring industry,
an extensive acquaintance throughout the
district, qualities him to lead the democracy
to victory, if victory is possible in this dis
trict He is a native of Montgomery county,
has led an active business life, and probably
knows as well the wants of the people Of this
district as any man in it. We believe his
nomination viii be strong one.-COvington

And wrote her lessons on the sly.

She SAID should not be so bold
When we grew older, Kate and L.
When we were lovers, Kate and L,
Her trusting faith was sweet to see,
And she was all the world to me,
When we had sworn, by earth and sky.
Our vows we're fond, we thought them true
And earth put on brighter hue,
When we were lovers, Kate and l.
When we had parted, Kate and /,
The weary miles were fraught with pain,
And stretched between us like a chain.
Each link was welded with sigh:
Our letters passed, perhaps score,
Then slower came, then came no more,
And we were parted, Kate and 1.
When we were married. Kate and L,
1t was not who called her bride,
1t was not she who at my side
Looked wondering up to hear me sigh.
Come, come, lie still, my foolish heart;
Who thought we'd be so far apart
When we were married, Kate and /?

Mr.. VOORHEES,, in his buncombe speech
on the repeal of the resumption act yester-
day, said that If Srcenbacks had been made
receivable from the first for all customs
duties, &C., they would have been par at
once and kept SO ever since. Well, NooR-
HE'S friends, the Comic ierate Congress,
tried the same thing, and the Confederate
authorities, to uphold the credit of the
"greybacks," went infinitely further and
made it a matter punishable with death to
disparage Confederate money and refuse to
take it at par. The provost marshals
throughout the Confederacy issued the most
stringent orders to that effect, and even
went 30 far US to fix by proclamation the
price Of all the necessarles of life, from
barrel of -four 10 II paper OF pins, or grain
of quinins in Confederate money at par,

the Confedeucy in the palmiest days OF

ruthless and vindictive set of officials, the
grey backs" were scaled and went current

conviction, cares nothing for that nor does

JOHN MoRRIssEY has gone. He was o
remarkable man, the history Of whose varied
life will furnish themes for innumerable and
speculative reflections. There was probably
more blunt personal and political honesty
in his makeup than is ordinarily found
among men of his type, and the worst thing
that can he said of him-at the same time
among the hest that can be said of bis
party-is that he was leader Of the De-
mocracy. But he was human and there is
volume in the fact that, after all he had
passed through, his heart yearned for the
home of his boyhood. There was a deep
sentiment in this yearning desire that gave
certain indication of the possession Of gem
tie and pure aspirations, albeit his career
was one Of trouble, turmoil, and question
able activity. 1t proves that under rough
exterior JOHN MoRRissEY carried soul
capable of the warmest and most generous
aspirations.

THE Senate amendment to the Bankrupt
repeal bill is good enough in its way, pro-
viding as it does, that the act shall remain
in force until after specie payment shall
have been resumed; but it does not go far
enough. No reasonable man who studies
this subject closely will deny that perma-
nent system of national character for the
benefit of insolvents is n protection to cred
itors and debtors alike. The experience Of
