i DEMOCRAT. CRAWFORD VILLE Volume 7. THE CI1IUDRGX OVER THE WAY. BY MF.S. EMILY THORKT X. The day had been cloudy sssssr* and dreary, w s:\ss,fs Remembrances rushed bv that day, children Brought thtae by sweetfaces of In a window justoier the wa>. Three beautiful, golden-haired darlings Were vvatchingeach form that went casement, past, With faces pressed close to the And hearts throbbing joyously fast. I knew they were watching for papa, So eagerly anxious were they; And wliile they scanned every newcomer, I scanned them from oyer the way. (Soon a tall form appeared in the distance Which their little eyes seemed to know, For away from the window they darted, To stand in the doorway below ; ■While the glad shout of welcome they ut¬ tered io Brought volumes of past joys me, And kisses he eagerly gavo them, Seemed fond as those 1 used to see. Then I thought of two dear little children, Whose forms lie beneath the green sod ; Of the father who tenderly loved them, Yielding his spirit to God; And an afterthought came, to give com¬ fort : they In a “mansion” of glory s.ny, And together, are eagerly the watching My coming from over way. Over the wav ! What a sentence ! The way through the Valley of Death! The way that I, too, have to travel When yielding Life ’s last, weary breath. Little forms have gone over it safely, tried Manly feet its dark mazes have ; And now, with hands outstretched to greet They uie, watch till I it glide. over ALL AROUND US, GATHERING THE NEWS EROM OCR EXCHANGES.

A week or ten days ago a party of young men in Ben. Smith’s district disguised themselves and were raiding around the country at night. There are various re¬ ports as to Ure number in the party, but from the best information we can get there was not less than seven or eight. What their purpose was can only be -conjectured from what -occurred. It seems that the party seperated at i | tae hour and two of them went to the house of a widow, Mrs. Hill, where she and Mrs Burnett lives, about ten or eleven o’clock at night, broke open a door and struck a match to see where the women were sleeping and then went to their be*! ami by force and threats committed • j upon them. I chain .They .rt.l . were this iiOjfibie iLt'r.b r hcy ...if and notdiecX the women that if they said anything about it they would come to see them again. The women are at least forty or fifty, years of age and have borne their neighbors ot the occurrence, when warrants were Issued for Ben HaH and George Moughan. Hall was arrested and had a preliminary trial before Esqs. Cosby and Ethridge, wire after hearing all the evidence committed Ilall to jail to await his trial before the Superior court. The evidence before the committing court is not clear that Hall was the guilty party, as it was difficult for the women to recognize the men, but tlie court tliougl t it was sufficient to hold him to answer. He wafbrought to town and understand, lodged in jail de nst, Thursday Hall, we nies that he is the guilty party. Moughan has not been arrested, and therefore it is not known what defense .he has,oi.what the proof is against him. The other persons who were in the raid pig party, do not seem to have taken part jg the crime. * .-— — ^ KIDNAPPED BOY. _ Restored Alter 20 Years. in 1853 tire Federate were passing along the streets of Montgomery, Ala., leaving the city.
