Gone But Not Forgotten.

The following effusion from our Rich.
rdsmere bard tells story of vacancy.
We do not hear the anvirs ring,
Nor hank to the bellows roar
We do not see the smoke roll up
From the chimney, as of yore
The blacksmith shop is vacant now,
The hammer no longer swings;
Our smithy has gone up Texas way
A town beyond Rock Springs.
Though he liked the people very we'll
In our humble little town,
He thought it better to leave this dell
And settle on William PENIS ground.
He thought he could make more money,
And have more leisure time,
1fhe could get to the milk and honey
Over the Mason and Dixon line.
His friends now mourn their loss
More than ever words can tell,
For everyone knew our smithy boss
Why, yes. we know him we'll.
But his friends in Texas now will sing
Will hail his coming with joy
For they will be glad to hear the anvil ring
From their good old smithy boy.
Cur genial blacksmith took his flight,
To the land of milk and honey,
Where he says the people pay up all right
And he is sure of getting his money.
Lyles will rejoice at our loss, it's said,
But our farmers seem not to care
For Bro. Witcraft has very nice shed,
And they will take all smith work there
There's chance for an enterprising youns
man here,
Who wishes a good living to make;
He can build up fine trade at Richardsmere
With very little capital at stake.

There seems to be little doubt that the
Senate will meet in extra session after the
4th of March for the ratification of the
treaties now before it. There is consid-
cradle opposition to the Alaskan treaty
and Senators Turner and Foster of Wash.
ington have informed your correspondent
that they will vote against its rati-
hcation. At the same time, Senator
Lodge, who has just completed canvass
of the Senate on this convention, informs
us that it will be ratified as soon as suf.
ficient time for its consideration can be
secured. Senator Lodge says that the op.
position is based on a misunderstanding
CT its conditions and that when the time
Tor careful examination and discussion
of those provisions arrives there will be
no difficulties in the way of convincing
the present opponents of tie arrange
ment that it is worthy of approval and the
best that the United States can make
under the circumstances.
