WHAT HAPPENED IN AN HoUR.-A man
CAME into town, from the neighborhood of
Clark Mills, one day last week, who eyi-
IDENTIFY believes in the doctrine that what s
to be done should be done quickly; for
about six O'Clock he became acquainted
with widow, who if not fair was at least
fat and forty, and inan hour from the time
of introduction they were bound together
with hymen's golden chain. They had
never seen or heard of each other more than
an hour previous to their marriage; never
theless, there's no particular romance con-
nected with the durned' affair, for the
man was widower and has children
grown-up, while the woman was the reliet
Of three departed benedicts-so the couple
probably knew what they were about.

l give the following incident falling under

Masonic tie Of brotherhood proved stronger
than the fear of death. and more lasting than
the hatred Of mortal foes. At the second

crate works strewn with their dead and

themselves to the ditch ana were hoisted over

let down to them.


At this time, when to cross the works
seemed certain death, two men came TO head
quarters, and asked permission to bring in a
wounded Federal lying in their front. They
were referred to the order prohibiting such
reckless exposure, and the danger of the at
tempt pointed out. They answered that this
man had shown the Masonic Signal of Dis

attempt to relieve him at any cost. The

but it catches and holds the fertility of the
ground that in some soils escapes. Lime will
also do this-so will clay. Clay, dried and
powdered, is an excellent thing to put ON u
barn yard or to cover compost heap with.
or wO:k through the heap-hence, we use
gypsum and lime in our stables and priyies.
Gypsum is best, it has the most attraction.
besides other properties. a little should be
kept by every flrmer for use, even at high
cost, as the benefit is sometimes more impor-
tant than the high price


But we waste our manure. We not only
permit its strength to escape, but we are glad

The same recklessncss extends to the land.
1t is well our soil has good proportion of
clay, to hold its strength. We must conserve.
The time is not far distant when We shall be
compelled to do it. Already there are sysup

heavy crops as we used to; here and there a
field; here ard there a farm, is less produc-

1T is not so much that we need plaster hero

as to use it to abstract from the atmosphere

! THIS gentleman being On a brief visit
TO Columbus, we had the pleasure of an
interview and free conversation with him
yesterday afternoon. He is in fine
health and spirits, and the vigor of his
great intellect was never more remark
able than it is now His views of the
condition and future Of the country are,
in the highest degree, interesting and
instructive, and are marked by that ele-
waited Craftsmanship and sound Demo
cracy for which he has ever been dis
tinguished. We note few c. his re-
marks.


"The only organization that can save
US" said he, Is the Democratic party
The Radicals can never do it. They
have shown, beyond question, that they
do not comprehend the american peo-
pie; and if they did, they are so con
trolled by the lust Of power and plum
der, and so committed to the support of
special privileges, that their rule cannot
endure without ruin to the liberties anl
prosperity Of Che people. But the Dem
ocratic party stands upon its ancient and
fundamental pviuciPles-principles that
underlie aud support American Govern
ment and American Society, and which
cannot be disregardcd without producing
anarchy first and finally despotism.-
Thousands who left US, under the infu-
cnce of feeling or misapprehension, have
this year returned TO us--thousands
more will return next year, and thous-
ands of Republicans who now see that
the Rule of the Radicals is the destruo-
ton of the Country, have Joined, and
others will continue to join us, if we act
with the wisdom and patriotism that are
characteristics of our parry, and have SO
often distinguished it in great eneTgen-
cies."


In the course Of the conversation We
mentioned that his name was spoken of
in a number Of papers as a candidate for
the Presidency. He Immediately Io-
piled:


Il know nothing about it, sir. I nm
no candidate for that or any other Office.
I desire no office. I prefer to serve in
the ranks. This is no new sentiment
with me. / have felt so for years, and
I feel so now more than ever. What I |
want to see, is the Democratic party TN
tied and victorious; that consider es-
sential to the safety and prosperity Of
the country; but 1 want no honors my
self"


We asked him which IF the Radical !
candidates he thought would be the
strongest.


81 think" said he, "that there would !
be no material difference between them.
Neither of them can be elected if the
Democracy act with union, energy and |
wisdom. There is too much at stake
FOR the result to be sonsibIy affected by /
the popularity Of any man. "-.S5a'esman |
