The shades Of night were falling fast.
As through quiet village passed
A youth. who bore a vague disguise,
A banner Hith the strange device
My name is Hall
His brow was sad his eye beneath
Flashed like n falchion in It's sheath:
And like a saw on Hon lung
The accents of that unknown tongue,
MY name is Hall!
In beer saloon he saw the light
Of social glass CLEAN warm and bright;
Above. old iTallidav's spectre shone:
And from his lips escaped gruan.
My name is Hall
"You cannot PASS, the old man said
There hangs an alias DER your heal
The Federal ring is deep and wide!'
And loud that rasping voice replied,
My name is Hall!
"Oh stay the sheriff said, land rest
Thy weary head upon this breast! -
There was twinkle in his eye,
But still he answered, with sigh,
My name is Hall
Beware tn Macoupin county bonds
Beware the laws pursuing hounds
This was the Colonel's last good night
A voice replied, far up the height,
My name is Hall
At break of day, from tongue to tongue,
Like Ginning bells. the question rung,
Whence did he come, where does he
bear?
A voice cried through the startled air,
My name is Hall.
That traveller, by the faithful hound,
Was hustl'd OIL, III irons bound,
Still grasping tighter than vice,
That banner with the strange device.
My name is Hall
When, in the tonIbs as Halliday,
A dead duck, they thought he lay:
From Carlinyille, serene and far,
A voice fell like falling star,

EDITOR EXPERIMENT: BY the steam
err California we learn that they are
having a terrible time in Alaska just
now, and that all the white settlers
except old Whitzort, Goldstein and
two others have left Sitka, the Indi-
ans having broken out in open revolt.
1t seems that two Indians were
drowned or killed, a couple of years
since, and white people were blamed
for it, and now the Indian character
shows itself in demand for satisfac-
ton, causing general smash-up
amongst the white population. The
families all came down on the Cali
f6r'ia, and request has been for
warded to Victoria for a gun-boat
Immediately, but how the English
can interfere on American property
is more than I can see. If Uncle
Sam lin spite of his economical Con-
gress) had insisted on having his do
mains properly guarded, there would
have been none of this trouble, but
just so long as our great American
Republic PERSISTS in making treaties
with treaty-breaking, blood-thirsty
Indians, refusing their every chance
to become civilized, just SO long
shall we hear OF trouble in Indian
country. Sitka has been surrounded
and one Indian already killed, and
just then The California took on her
scared passengers and started.
We had about twelve inches of
snow few days since, but now our
roaus are perfectly dry, and we are
enjoying delightful Spring weather.
Col. Conard is visiting at the
Post and I believe intends making a
trip to Victoria to see our English
cousins.
The mystery surrounding the death
of the girl MARY A. Blidges) has
never been cleared up yet, nor is it
likely to now. That she was foully
dealt with, and hanged after death
is common conclusion, notwith-
standing the verdict Of /" death by
suicide" as found by the coroner's
jury, but the why and the wherefore
remain unanswered.
The Fire Department will give
their first Ball on Friday evening,
21st inst, which it is expected will
be quite an affair, as everyone wishes
to encourage the object the fremen
have i'll view, viz.--the purchase of
uniforms for the company.
The public school here is largely
attended, but it is feared the funds
will not hold out longer than the
first Of May, SO that an extended va
cation will be the result.
1t is is rumored that q change will
soon take place in the pastorate of
the Presbyterian church in this city,
but whether it is true or not I cannot
say.
There is but little sickness here
not even one case of diphtheria or
typhoid, which looks we'll for this as
a healthy place. OBSERVER.

driving the machinery of their shop.

at New Tacoma. The smaller parts
