May beautiful angels watch o’er thee in love, And shield thee from all life’s storms— When ended earth's mission, may hear the above, To Heaven and a Saviour’s arms.

RATHER AND SON—THE MINISTER COMES —A NIGHT OF AGONY—I.ABT MOMENTS—THE FINAL STUGGLE GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION BY A EYE WITNESS. The Cincinnati Commercial of the 18th contains a long and well written account of Vallandighatn‘s death. We clip the following j CHARLEY. It is a little after I o'clock, and bat few remain to see the last. A few minutes on ly and the ioor is thrown open ; a groan is heard i ‘Send up the young man in the office/ A slight, graceful, youthful form appears Upon the landing and passes swiftly into the room. It is Charley, Mr. Vallandigham's only child and son—the idol of his house and heart. The sweet faced youth is kneeling by his father's side in a moment, and his lips are fondly pressed to that stricken father's face. An outburst of tears from the pure fountains of that dear young heart and the big sobs shake its tenement until all seems bursting. It was not necessary to say, ‘There, that is Charley;’ ‘1 know him ; I recognize him. It is my son ; my son Charley.* Oh, God, such a sight! Dying father and stricken son ! There let their tender ness unutterable and grief ten thousand times unutterable be curtained round and only angels look hi and pity while mortals weep* FAITH; While this affecting scene transpires, Rev; John Haight, a Presbyterian minister of this place, who came to inquire after his neighbor, Mr. Mcßurney, relates that a few minutes before Mr. Vallandigham recog nized him in the room, and giving him one of his bright looks observed, ‘I believe ac cording to onr old Galvinistic faith that I‘li get through this yct*‘ Ah, dying man, your interpretation of predestination isrevgracd Kv iluxi ALONE. ‘Let every one leave the foom. lam Mr. Vallandigham's friend as well as phy sician, and I desiro to be with him alone,* and the dying man aud Mr. ReeVe are left alone. There was no concealment now. Death was already attbedoor ; no hurnin skill could save. The last commnnication was brief, and when Dr. Reeve reappeared he announced that he would take charge of Mr. Vallandigham ; all should retire but Mr. Williamson and the physicians. If anything should occur, friends would bo summoned. DAYBREAK. Dr. Dawson arrived and joined the medi cal gentlemen in the dying room. The first faint streak of day was seen in the east aud the gray chili of the morning penetrated the house. I was told now that Mr. Val landigham wanted Dr. Reeve to ‘cut down to those bleeding vessels and stop the hem orrhage * Vain hope ; powerless wish. ‘I would bo all right, Doctors, if I vvetc only rid of this pam.‘ ‘We will give you some thing for that, Mr. Vailandigham. - A hypodermic injection of morphine was administered. The pain was relieved almost instantly, but the man was sinking and friends were summoned to bis bedside. The stricken son again kneeled down and bathed his father's hand with tears. The son was but the youthful image of bis father— lovingly united in life—now terribly separated by approaching death. WAITING FOR DEATH. The first stir of light outside was the twitter of swallows in the eaves. Ihe cold, gray light of the morning disputed sway with the burning lamp, bnt when that was removed at last, as no longer ne* cessary, it seemed to have consumed the last ray of light in the face of the dying man. A deathly pallor overspread the features, the finger nails of the right hand, which from the first rested on tho pillow j beside his face, while the other grasped and was buried in the*] bed-clothes, turn* bloc. The time of dissolution drew uigh. With the earliest light came hosts of frieuds. The hotel was again filled with visitors, and the street iu front was throng ed with pitying people. THE RELEASE. But the terrible waiting for death was sorely protracted. It was a heaviness that weighed everybody down, and will make that sad morning forever memorable m the | houses and homes of Lebanon. The great, strong nature of the man B^ru ffgled hard with faith, and gallantly contended for life.

Vallandigham parted with life. [From the Fetroit Free Press] Fierce Attack Upon a Farmer by an .Enraged Horse. From several farmers coming into town yesterday from the township of Taylor, out reporter learned the particulars of a very excitiug affair, which occurred in that town ship, about seven miles from Detroit, on Sunday last. A man named FiCruu dotte. In riding the anlmaTTroTire Aimtws had to give him several whippings, aud was once or twice run away with, and thus when he arrived home he was tired out, and the horse was nervous and excited. There boing some goods packed away in the stables, Andrews took the horse in on the barn floor to tie him. While so doing the animal bit him, and for this he was soundly belabored with the handle a broken pichfork. After being struck sev eral times bo broke loose and ran at An drews and struck him down with one of bis fore feet. While in this position the farm* er received a bad injury from being stepped on, but managed to get up and show fight, still retaining possession of his weapon. The horse rested, kicked and uttered mac neighs, and in a moment struck the man dowu again. Andrews fell so close to a partition that the horse could not get at him well, and here ho kept the beast at bay by ponnding its legs with the club. The people at the house had heard the sounds of the struggle and a hired man and the family were soon around the door. As the horse seemed to quiet down a little the man shouted to Andrews to crawl carefully along to the door. This the farmer started to do, but had not crawled three feet when ihe horse pounced upon him again; aud this time dislocated his shoulder by a blow of a hoof. The horse then commenced plunging and kicking at everything, jumping at An drews whenever the farmer moved, and in this emergency, seeing that he was likely to be killed, be shouted for the man to gel the family out of the yard, and then open the door, supposing that the animal would then go out. This was done, but the horse plunged out and in again with such rapids ty that the farmer could not escape, the an imal making at him every time he tried it. Asa last resort the hired man loaded an army musket with fine shot, and gave the horse the fall charge at short range. The beast went down, jumped up, made a few circuits of the yard, and the leaped the fence into the pasture, and ran until tired oat. Andrews was badly bruised in sev eral places, had a shoulder dislocated, as stated, and will be confined to the house for | S ome time. The horse received consider able injury from the gun-shot, but it w thought a veterinary surgeon can heal the wound. King Victor Emmanuel was recently seized°with an attack of sickness, supposed to be oapplexy, while retaining from his banting scat, Valdiri, to Turin. This was his second attack* Social Chit-Chat. Linen collars are now worn square i»*i;ead of pointed back and front, aHd *rc trimmed with lace incertion edging. Ruffles and rushings of lace for the neck and sleeves afe more in favor this season than they have beeu for several seasons. White kid gloves are no longer worn with full evening dress, the preference be ing given to lavender, light grey or yel low. Russia leather belts, with largo buckles and small bags attached at the aides, are very much worn by ladies with all styles of dresses, particularly muslin. Very wide braid or velvet is now used for binding the edge of street costumes since the new styles of wearing long dress es in the street would otherwise ruin aud discoloi them very quickly 7. Very 7 handsome toilettes are of Wack j China crepe overdress, elaborately eui bioidered, and wore over bTack silk, with small rufil ’s. A sleeveless jacket of crept is worn over a black silk waist, with long sleeves. The new style of bonnets for next fall are said to be something really new, and many miiincrs think they will have to hire a few people to wear them, so as to get people used to their decidedly unique ap pearance. Many yoUng children aild half grown girls are afflicted with curvature of the spine, which is produced, the doctors affirm, by requiring them to practice several hours a day on the piano without any suppore for the backs or feet. Young men who use perfumed note pa per and elaborate gilt and red monograms, tinted cards, embroidered handkerchiefs and shirt fronts, lace neck-ties and fancy sleeve buttons, must not be suprised if they are considered effeminate and foppish. The old style of presenting each guest at a wedding with a box containg a liberal slice of wedding cake, to take borne and dream on, has again come in fashion, and is much more sensible? and agreeable to al* ii°and be agravated ,*.< li,.
