g 1t is a striking faet-the dying nerer ireep.-
The circle of sobbing, agonized hearts around

BILE and stiff already in the chill of dissolution
That cannot be; for he asks for his father hand,
fas if to gain strength in the mortal struggle, and
leans on the breast of mother, brother, or sister,
with still conscious affection; and just before
expiring, at eve, after along days converse with
the Angel of Summons, he says to his Oldest
brother-the last audible goodnight OF earth
Kiss me, kiss meP 1t must be because the
dying have reached point too deep for our
searthly crying and weeping. They are face to
face with higher and holier beings with the
Father in Heaven and his angel throne, led on
by the Son himself; and what are griefs of a

they are she'd by the deares. on earth-in that

REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE, OR SOMETHING
ELsEl-The San Francisco Herald, in speaking
of the old receiving ship Independence, now ly-
ing at the Navy Yard, Mare Island, says:


In connection. with this vessel, since she has
been lying here, singular incident is narrated,
which, whether we regard it as startling
though natural coincidence, or as an evidepcs Of
some strange and unexplained connection BE-
treen the spirit which informs the body, and the
portan ,0hich is the image Of that body, is calcu-
lated to arrest our attention. Some time since,
while two officers were playing chess in the
cabin where Commodore Perrys portrait has
been since he took command of the independence
they were startled by hearing something fall.
On turning round they observed that it was the
portrait, and one of them rose and replaced it,
remarking at the same time that be could not
conceive from what cause it had fallen. and
making in his pocket-book note of the day
and month. To the surprise of these gentlemen
who are both still resident on the island, let
ter was received some tine subsequent to the
incident we have narrated, mentioning the death
of Commodore Perry and the date of its occur
renee; and on examination, it was found to tally
exactly with that of the fall of the portrait.

The Journal Of Commerce has q version of
this case, to which the telegraph has alluded
before: .r


There was considerable excitement in fnan-
cial circles growing out Of q report that
o leading broker in the foreign tobacco trade
had committed forgery Of mercantile paper to
the amount Of $25O,O0O, upon which he had
realized, and then absconded to Europe with
the proceeds. The gentleman alluded to is
Mr.. M. RAIDER, whose Office is at No. % Wall
street, but we learn from his son, who is asso-
oiated with him in business, that the report in
question does his father gross injustice, and is
without any substantial foundation in fact.
There appears to have been some dispute
between Mr.. RAIDER and large cigar and
tobacco dealer, whom the former claims to have
assisted so far that he was in some danger of
becoming involved himself. If Mr.. RAIDER OBJ
tanned any notes which that firm claim as their
property, and realized upon them for his own
advantags, he has doubtless done it for the
purpose Of securing himself against anticipated
loss, In q manner he may have deemed justifia-
BILE, but to which they may very likely object
He has not gone to Europe, but to neighbor-
ing city, probably with view of Withdrawing
himself from any unpleasant collision with the
other parties, until the dispute can be adjusted
Mr.. RAIDER Is possessed, as we understand, of
considerable property, and has been regarded
as gentleman of strict integrity, character
which we trust will bo fully vindicated on the
settlement of this unpleasant controversy. He
has been doing large business, and was con-
sidered as one Of the leading brokers in the
foreign tobacco trade.

Death among those we know, and
some Of whom we regard and esteem,
and those we love, forcibly reminds us
Of the many ills to which flesh is heir,
and Of the sad fate Of those who know
no consolation, and cannot meet mis-
fortunes with the true estimate of life
and its use which disarms them of half
their affective power.


There is more true courage, more
real fortitude displayed in Drawing the
ills, and bearing the sorrows Of ordinary
life, than armies ever witness or hospital
records recount Disappointed hopes,
unforeseen and inevitable misfortunos in
business, or calamities in the domestic
circle--any Of these try true man more
than all he himself alone might suffer.
He is more virtuous who cares most
for others and least for himsef-hence
the better a man, however brave and
enduring, the more he must suffer-
But there are few misfortunes in which
or in their effects a bright side may not
be seen.


There are calamitios which are greater
than the death OF loved one, but We
are wont to estimate that as the most
terrible that can aflict us. Even the
very love for tho dead which constitutes
the source of our misery in bereave-
ment is a blessing Of untold worth. A
cotemporary, referring to this love
beautifully remarks: "To have laid q
strong affection down among the dead
may be a great sorrow, but it is not real
misfortune. Whatever ones aftergo.
ings may be, there is a deposit for the
future life, a stake in better country
a part of the heart which the grave will
keep holy in spite of the "ovil which is
in the world" The living may change
to us or We to them; sin may divide
strife may come between us, but through
all times and fortunes the dead remain
the same to our memories and our love
The child taken from us long ago i
still the innocent lamb that was for GU
holding. The carly lost friend or love
is still the blessed of our youth, a hop
not to be withered a promise not to b
broken, a possession wherein there is n
! disappointment"

Generation after generation have felt
as we do now, and their lives were as ac
tive as our own. The heavens shall be
as bright over our graves as they are
around our paths. Yet a little while
and all this will have happened, The
throbbing heart will be stilled, and we
shall be at rest. Our funeral will weud
its way, and the prayers will be said, and
we shall be left in the darkness and ST.
lcnce of the tomb. And it may be that
for a short time VIC shall be spoken Of,
but the things Of life shall creep on and
our names will be forgotten, Days will
continue to move on, and laughter and
songs will be heard in the room where
we died; and the eye that mourned for
us will be dried and animated with joy,
and even our children will cease to think
of us, and will remember to lisp our
names no more.

The people of this township met at this
place on Saturday last. pursuant to call. to
vote, as the Law requires. whether or not {
township tax should be levied to pay the few
necessary expenses of the township organi'
cation. The result of the vote was, tax is
no tax, 80. This is a little surprising
They elected township officers in March
last to perform important duties, and now
they refuse to pay them for it. Il is on
the same principle of hiring men to work
in their fields or work shops, or in any 9TH
er capacity and then refusing. without any
excuse, to paw them for their services. We
do not blame the people of this or any 9th
er township in the county for grumbling
about the heavy taxation. A short time
ago they paid large county and Territorial
tax, and are just through with working out
burthensome and unjust road tax. But
because of this shall we refuse to pay a
small sum to keep up our township organi-
sation, or shall we let that organization go
by the board, as it assuredly will unless a
sufficient tax is voted to sustain it.


We do not believe that the vote on Sat-
urday was a fair expression of the people.
We do not believe they would elect man
to ell an important township Office, and af-
ter that man had left his farm in harvest,
the most busy season of the year, and
spent twenty days IN faithfully performing
his duties, that they would refuse to pay
him for it. As matter of course if we
expect to keep up township organization
We will have to pay township tax. The
debt of last year and that of the present
year will go over to be paid next year. and
it viii thus accumulate unit it becomes a
matter of some moment. Could We not
more easily pay small amount each
year as we go along. than to let township
debt accumulate which viii fually grow to
be large sum, and will have to be paid be-

We think SO. AS the matter now stands,

CowHDED.-At about half past o'clock,
Friday night, cicumstance occurred which
is worthy of being related. 1t happened di-
rectly in front of one of the school houses of
our city. Persons in the neighborhood heard
a masculine voice, screaming murderl'
"help !" "help!" in the most excruciating
tones, while the sound of whip or cowhide
was distinctly audible in the midst of the
outcry. 1t ceased in few minutes and all
was over. We heard of the affair directly
after it happened, but could ascertain no clue
to the mystery. Since then we have come in
possession of the whole facts of the case, but
as there is the daughter of highly respecta.
BILE family involved in the matter, we sup
press the names not only of the girl herself
but of the person cowhided and those who
did the Job.


1t appears that young man in town of no
very reputable character, and without any
family connections in the city, has by some
means become acquainted with very pretty
girl attending one of our schools She is
about l6 years of age and of somewhat ro-
mantle turn of mind. They have been in the
habit of clandestinely corresponding, he leav-

amatory epistles. The schoolmistress had
observed this young man prowling around
for some time and finally suspected what was
going on. Accordingly she set her wits to
work and found out not only the fact of the
correspondence but the locality of the pre-
cious missives. Having assertained this, she
lay low and said nothing" until at last she
read note from the young man proposing an
appointment with the girl in the schoolroom
at half past o'clock or thereabouts, Friday
evening Leaving the letter in the desk, she
waited reasonable time for the reply. Re-

the gate, looked carefully around and enter

had he entered than he was siezed, taken out
