INDIv1DUALITY.-Rev A. L. Stone OF the Park
street Church, Boston, delivers lecture on FRI
day evening at the Plymouth Church, upon q In
diyiduality, or Individual Life" This will be most
interesting subject and in Mr. Stones hands it will
be handled with master hand. We predict that
the lecture will be one Of the most interesting and
pleasing of the season. The speaker is well known
as lecturer, and those who heard his lecture two
wears ago on "The Marriage Of the Hemispheres
or one year ago on nNew England Life, will beaI
us out in any encomiums we may pass upon him.
Mr.. Stones church is to Boston and New EngIani
what Henry Ward Beecher's is to Brooklyn and the
country. Let all attend this lecture who can, anC
while they are interested and instructed, they will
be giving their aid to our friends of the Plymouth

TIE METRoPoLITANs.-The Melodeon was
again crowded last night to see and hear this fine
Band of Minstrels. Some of the musical execu-
tions were peculiarly fine, and in the way of COM
icalties, none had cause of complaint. The pleas
ure of all the respectable part of the audience was
marred by the presence of the hoOting, whistliug
and stamping crowd of boys in the gallery. Is
the policeman of the hall afraid to stop these

more in more simple way:


The Old Printer
A Printer stood at his case one night


(And very hard case was his'n),
And his weary sight dim rs the light
OF the lamp in his dusty prison;
The wntry winds were bowling without,
And the snow falling thick and fast,
But the Printer, trow, shook his locks of snow
And laughed at the shrieking blast;
He watched the hands as the clock crept round
Keeping time with its snail like tick,
As he gathered the type with a weary click,
In his old rust eaten stick.
His hair was as white as the falling snow
And silently, day by day,
He beheld with grief, like autumn leaf,
One by one passing away
Time had cut with his plow, burrows in his brow,
His cheek was fevered and thin,
And his long roman nose could almost rcpose
Its head on its gray headed chin;
And his fingers long, as the hours stole on,
Keeping time with the clocks dull tick,
He gathered the type with weary click,
In the old rust eaten stuck
For mans long years thro' joys, thro' tears
That old Printers time battered face,
Ghostly and lean, night and morn had been seen,
Earnestly bent DER the chase.
A few Years more Death will lock up has form
And put ii 10 press in the mold,
And a stone the spot where they lay him to rot,
VIII tell us his name. and how old;
And his comerades will light the old lamp by his


case,


And list to the clock's dull tick,
As thev set up his death, with solemn tick,
In his old st-eaten stick.

SYMPATHY WITH ITALY.-The "world of New
York;" technically so called, is now most
agrceably and worthily occupied with the pre-
lminary arrangements for a grand festival at
the Academy of Music in aid of the families
of the soldiers Of Italian independence and
liberty. We do not feel ourselves at liberty to
give the details of the preparations now making
Tor this most commendable demonstration; but
we may 60 30 far as to say that they already
promise one Of the most brilliant and interest
ing entertainments imaginable. The italian
artists Of Now York have thrown themselves
into the work with an enthusiasm and energy
which merit all praise. That "0pera of Lib
erty," "I Puritani," will probably be given
with cast embracing, beside the finest pro-
tessional talent of the capital an unprofes-
sional prtma donna Of the best social position
and the highest accomplishments; and there
are whispers of the production of a new French
play from one Of the most fluent and forcible
OF metropolitan pens. The object of the cele-
bration, the character Of those by whom it will
be controlled, and the scale of the entertain
ments now projected, will doubtless make the
affair the event of the season, and afford a
brilliant testimony to the sympathy which the
chief city Of free America feels with illustrious
and unfortunate Italy in her noble effort to
shake of forever the incubus that has weighed
so long upon her people.

The ARKANSAS FREE NEGRO BLL.-The
Little Rock Gazette, referring to the bill passed
by the Legislature Of Arkansas to expel free
negroes from the State, says: They have until
January, 1850, to dispose of their property,
and make other arrangements for leaving. II
they do not go then, it is made the duty of the
Sheriff to seize them and hire them out to the
highest bidder for one year, giving them the
net proceeds Of their labor to enable them to
leave the State. The bill provides that such
free negroes as desire to remain, may choose
masters-the county court having them ar-
praised, and the master or mistress they have
chosen paying half thoir value into the com
mon school fund of the county.

the arduous task of reporting the debates OF

fathers paper. and afterwards in other daily

ers of literary labor. 1t is asserted that be has
been known to sit through a long debate in the
House of Commons, not making single note
of the proceedings and afterwards to write a
full and faithful account of what had taken
place, extending to sixteen columns, without
allowing himself an interval of rest. The re-
markable exertions of this most famous report
er gave the newspapers for which he wrote
celebrity which compelled other newspapers to
aim at like fullness and freshness in their par

We find very we'll written article in the
Harrisburg pal Patriot, upon the futile
attempt Of the Wbig,or conservative element
to stay the ianalicism in the Republican par
ty. The editor cites the fact that the famous
Doestieks, and man named Helper. have
been hired to go down into the Southern
country, and writes fictitious accounts Of
slavery horrors for circulation in the North
as indicative Of the spirit in which the ap-
proaching contest is 10 be conducted. He
concludes with the following paragraph


'These signs are enough to convince any
person of observation that the conservative
element Of the oppo sition is entirely power
less; that the campo ign Of 1860 is to be step
in advance of that Of 1856 upon Seward 8
''irrepressible conflict platform. and to this
end the Northern mind is being crammed
with abolition publications; that the remnant
OF the American party are not regarded as
worth conciliatlng; that Seward will be the
candidate, and that the conservatives will be
ordered to fall into line, or be permitted to
desert to the DemocrAcy.-D Democratic Stan

ANOTHER EvIDENcE.-ln speaking OF the
Forney movement in Pennsylvania, the
Washington States says:


at is plain to our apprehension that the
movement of which Mr. Forney is the leader
is a premeditated and irreparable revolt
against the Democratic organization. 1t is
equally obvious that, no matter wha: may
be the present intentions of these persons.
they will fall by irresistible gravitation into
the bosom Of the Black Republican party"


This is very significant language, and be-
comes doubly SO when it is taken into con.
sideration that it comes from Mr.. Douglas
central organ. II is manifest that Forney,
the Broderick of Pennsylvania is repudiated;
the movement is condemned in the strongest
terms, and the opinion expressed that ''they
will fall by irresistible gravitation into the
bosom Of the Black Republican party
This Pennsylvania movement is precisely
similar to the Broderick movement in this
State, ana both will arrive at precisely
similar result. They must necessarily fall
into the bosom Of the Black Republican par
ty. With them, therefore, neither Mr. Doug
las nor any other Democrat can sympathize

/. EDITORS COURIER We would call the atten-
ton OF the present Indian Agent to the abiect
condition OF the natives of this portion of the
county. 1t would be benefit, both to society
and the Indians, if they could be removed to the
reservation. During the winter months they
are at the point of starvation, with scarcely
clothing to hide their nakedness There is also
set of unprincipled white men living and
equalizing themselves with them, debauchinp
the squaws on every occasion, often going to the
rancherias at the hour OF midnight and dragging
the women from their novels; and in several
instances have known them to steal the blan
kets from the poor miserable wretches. 1t is
enough TO make the face of any civilized being
on earth blush to see how low and degraded the
human race can become. Those who have never
been out of the ruts of well ordered society will
scarcely credit what say, but it is even so.


We petitioned Col. Henly several times du-
ring his agency, to have them (the Indians)
removed from our midst, but from some cause
he paid no attention to us. The citizens have
now determined on having them removed If
the Agent does not take steps towards removing
them, they will rise en- masse and drive them out
