Farewell, thou tried and trusted friend.
To thee it has been given
To find of earthly toll an end,


And reach thy home in heaven.
We bid to thee a short farewell


We soon shall go, the song
Of Moses and the Lamb to swell
Amid the ransomed throng.
We will not mourn thy loss below,
eve bow beneath the rod,)
But onward in the path will go


Which thou hast lately trod,
That we may meet thee at the throne
OF Him who reigns above,
Where strifes and partings are not known
Where all is joy and love.
And though we're left in darkness here
Concerning Gods designs,
We know that all will yet be clear
When death his power resigns.
While here the cause thou loved'st so well,
Thine earnest hand shall miss,
We know that thou hast gone to dwell
Mid scenes of heavenly bliss.
We know that by our loss in time
Thou gains't eternity,
While muffled bells so softly chime
We bid farewell to thee. FL.

BOOTH AND SURRATT.-The Wash
ington correspondent Don Piatt has


recently been through the region ira
versed by Booth and Herold, the as
sassins of President Lincoln, in. their
flight. He says that after the fugitiveS
left Dr. Mudds they hired boy for
ten dollars to guide them through the
maze OF narrow crossroads to the
Potomac at a point where crossing
could be made. The boy knew moth
ing Of whom he was guiding, but he
overheard much OF their conversation.
Booth complained Of his leg, but was
generally taciturn. Herold talked in
cessantly, and constantly urged haste
in the flight. Booth more than once
cursed somebody for a coward and a
traitor, in not putting out the lights.
Had that been DONE" he said, "we
might now be comfortable III Washing
ton" The theory of the correspon-
dent is that cOnspiratOr yet unpun-
ished and perhaps unknown, but prob
ably John Surratt, was relied on to
turn off the gas in the theatre at the
sound Of the pistol shot, and for some
reason failed to do his part. This is
possible but not probable. The cir


cumstances Of the case showed pretty
plainly, that Booths crime was ar


ranged by him with an eye to its the


atrical effect, much as it was carried
out. His leap to the stage and flight
across it with brandished dagger, anC
shouting SIC semper tyrdnnas, to the
rear where his horse was waiting him


his letter to the National Intelligencel
intended for publication the next day
and other similar circumstances, show
that Booth courted and planned fol

TEAcHERs WAsrED-A CHANCE FOR EsrERpRls-
ING FExALEs.-From Douglas City, Lewiston and
Minersville we learn that teachers are required
for the public schools and that there is great re-
iuctance shown on the part of young ladies to
accept Of the positions. 1t appears from current
reports that the greater portion of that class in
this vicinity are about to enter into more perma-
nent engagements. We hope that Dame Rumor
speaks the truth in this instance, and, should
such be the case, fresh importation of " school
marms" will be greatly needed in this section.
Laying all jokes aside, we can safely say that
from six to eight female teachers could find prof
liable employment in the various school districts
of this county, as in several instances males
have been Employed only because the trustees
could do no better; and in others children are
without teachers because none can be had. The
rates paid for this kind of labor vary from fifty
to seventy dollars per month, in the outside dis

ten months. This we consider as being very
desirable occupation for any young lady who

It was All-Hallow Eve, night long an
ticipated with delight by the whole neigh

with horror by the whole country.


It was the occasion of Sybil Berners'
mask ball; and Black Hall, the Black Val
ley, and the town of Blackville were all in
a slate of unprecedented excitement; for
this was the first entertainment of the kind
that had ever been given in the locality,
and the gentry of three contiguous coun-
ties had been invited to assist at it.


The throng at Black Hall was great, and
the characters sustained by the maskers
were various and well sustained


But far the most beautiful, far the most
terrible figure in the pageantry of the even
ing, was that of Sybi erners She had
chosen for her character the unplecedent-

saws he is not going to die this time.

whose name is not given. They had
put up several dummies on the side

Among our Washington items will be

among his own appointees yet made by
the President. The case is that of a
leading Loyal Lacquer Of Philadel'

"kleptOmania," as a telegram mildly
puts the case. la other words he was
caught thieving, and the fact coming to
GRANTS knowledge, the offender lost
his place, that of Consul at Leghorn.
1t will be observed that the offence con-
sists not in the fact of theft, but in the
detection. This will greatly relieve
the thousands of rogues in Office, all of
whom are now assured that their rascal
ity is all right provided no public ex-
posure is made. Cox suffered because
he was dull enough to be caught in his
villainy. Let it be generally under

such thieves in office as have the wit to
cover their tracks. The business of
