Kneel undisturbed, fair saint Poor out your praise or plaint Meekly and duly; I will not enter there, , To sully your pure prayer With thoughts unruly. But suffer me to pace Bound the forbidden place, Lingering a minute,} Like outcast spirits who wait And see through Heaven’s gate Angels within it. [Thackeray. THE END. A candle in its socket lying, Flickering, fading, brightening, dying, The Autumn leaf fa-t rustling by, A strain of music's latest sigh, The Hummer wind’B last failing breath— A mournful tone which tells of death ; A fire whose embers scarce are burning— A spirit to its Qod returning ; A sun extinguished from its place, A system vanishing in space— Thus all things end save Qod 1 Thus all things end ! ah ' said we so? Can aught have end that lives below ? la nothingness the end of strife ? And void the crowning point of life ? Annihilation ! is there aught Have maduess in the monstrous thought ? We boldly say a thing is ending— We mean some change is o'er it pending ; For matter changed, and changed must be Forever, like some changing sea; Thus all things change save Qod! The year is ending, quickly flying, Yet lingering st>ll among us dying; With faltering footsteps, falling fast, A few more days and then the last; His books are closed : each broken vow, Recorded there against us now. In fearful sameness there must stay ; Each thought, scene, now passed away j Aye, past and ended though they be, The end of all things we shall see ; But that end is not yet. Where goes the candle when it dies ? The leaf, the music, Summer’s Bighs ? A finish’d thought, a world, a death ; Where is the home of parted breath ? Where goes a year, au age. nay. thine ? Where is the end the great sublime ? All, all but centre round their being, The Qreat. Omnipotent. Ail-Seeing I Unending and unchanged forever ; In vain tho end from Him we sever— All ends are hid in GoUj DOST THOU REMEMBER t Doet thou retnember one most royal day In sweet September ? Its glorious smiset fading fast away, Dost thou remember ? How like a dream of bliss it seemed to float Betwixt two heavens in our swaying boat, Till twilight dei pened. and the stars lay bright In glossy depths between the lillies white ; Ana o’er our heart a dreamy silence fell. And were earth or Heaven we could not tell ? Dost thou remember ? Dost thou remember one weird, windy night Iu wild November ? Between the flying clouds the moon shone white ; Dost thou remember ? Black abadows fan along the ocean epaces, Or cowered, lurking in the hidden places. Wild words were spoken, and the wild winds sped Shuddering past us with a ghostly tread : Wild, passionate words were spoken, and there fell • , A dreary echo, sounding like Farewell! Dost thou remember ? Dost thou remember one cold bitter mom , In sharp December, When we arose and went ou- way forlorn ? Dost thou remember ? One silent sigh for sweet lost days of bliss, One long sed gaze, one first, lest speechless kiss; Then out across the weary waste of enow Thon to the deathful battle field didst go, ADd I to lonely cities far away To wear out heartaohe slowly, day by day ; Dost thou temember ? Nay, why remember ? why revive again A cold gray ember ? Time’s ashes cover pleasure, passion, pain ; Theu why remember ? The fire is spent ; let the ashes be dead ; Let none surmise how hearts havo thrilled or bled, Mine lidth in its grave. It shall not rise To look on thee with Memory’s conscious eyes. Or call the past from dim Oblivion's shore, Or waken griefs, or ask thee any more Dost thou remember ? —Mary E. Atkinson, in Lippincott's Magasine. THE STORM ON THE LAKE. BT WALTER SCOTT. Late, whob the Autumn evening fell On Kirkwood mere's romantio dell. The lake returned in chastened gleam, The purple cloud, Ihe golden beam, Reflected tn the crystal pool, Headland aud bank lay fair and cool; The weather-tinted rock aud tower, Each dro ping tree, each fairy flower, Bo true, so soft, the mirror gave, Aa it there lay beneath the wave, Secure from trouble, toil and care, , A world than earthly world more fair. But distant winds began to wake, And roused the Geuius of the Lake! He heard the groaning of the oak. And donned at once his sable cloak. As warrior at the battle cry Invests him with his panoply; Then, as the whirlwind nearer pressed, He *gan to shake his foamy crest O’er furrowed brow and blackened cheek, And bade bis surge in thunder speak. In wild and broken eddies whirled. Flitted that fond ideal world. And, to the shore in tumult tost, Hie realms of fairy Mies were lost. Tt. with a stern delight uti strange, I saw the spirit-stirring change. As warred ihe wave with wind and wood Upon the ruined tower I stood. And felt my heart more strongly bound. Responsive to the lofty sound, While, Joying in the mighty roar, I mourned that tranquil scene no more. g O , on the idle dreams eft youth, Breaks* the loud trumpet-call of truth, Bids esc.* l fair vision pass away, Like laudA'aoe on the lake that lay. As fair, as flitting, and as frail As that which fied the Autumn gale— Be each gav fOJIW that glided by. While dreams ot lavs and laJPs charms Give place to honor anu to anus!

NKW YORK FASHION AMD SOCIE TY GOSSIP. 1.0*1*4 Uat*-lgneranc* U BUee-A Slippery Grecian Coil—Taking (he Veil—Oat of Dear Generate—What to Were aad Hew—Free ing Toilette*—Tulle aad Tarletaa—Raaaiag Chareh Chair*—Mate. Brigaaii, the Caroli na Belle. [Special Correspondence Chronicle and Sentinel.] New York, January 27th. “ O wad some power the giftie gie us To see o a reels as others see us!” A prayer which might with fervor have been uttered by the lady who walked a mile or more through a fash ionable thorooghfare without a hat.— Every now and then, too, we aee an ad vertisement for a lost hat ; and all this goes to show that hats in general are rather uncertain possessions just now. Examining into the causes of such a state of affairs, we find that the towers of false hair on which they were accus tomed to rest in comparative safety be ing no longer worn, the Grecian coil, simple and pretty as it is, affords in place thereof but a slippery and unrelia ble foundation to the hat, which, placed far back on the head, is removed quite ont of the wearer’s sight; from thence the descent to the pavement is very —so very easy, indeed that the won der is how it kept on at all.— The veil, too, being put on separately and pinned to the coil, remains stead fast through all changes of fortune, and so tends greatly to comjiicate mat ters, since the bereft sister, sheltered by that friendly covering, concludes that the hat is there also, and thus in what seems a refinement of torture, the cer tain possession of the one, involves a proportionally cruel anxiety in respect of the other. The stale of affairs would be absolutely unendurable but that the “bat pin” comes to onr aid—from five to six inches long, and after the manner of pins, provided with a head, it may be run through the hat at the back, and in this way fastens it to the coil. But sometimes it is forgotten. Some ladies Wont wear one; sometimes it gets out of place, as pins in all ages have been wont to do; in a wind it does not pre vent the hat from being lifted at the top and blown back, so after all, the ques tion remains a vexed one, and we have the melancholy pleasure of seeing proces sions of ladies, each one tightly grasping her hat as she struggles in the embraces ’of Boreas. The only com pensation is that hats are certainly very pretty and pay for the trouble of looking after them. The Grecian coil is not the only fashionable way of ar ranging the hair jnst now, and those who desire a change wear chateleine. braids, to which finger puffs are some times added at the sides if there is not sufficient fullness. Onr Door Garments. Out door garments in plain velvet are less worn than for many a long day, and for this there are several reasons. In the first place, the popular fancy runs towards silk garments lined with fur or bordered with fur on the edges. Then, too, such elegant velvets show plaids and figures throughout that purchasers naturally incline to them, and being made up into polonaises, these stylish fabrics have largely taken the place of plain velvet; matelasse also, both in silk and wool, having been introduced, has proved a very desirable material for cloaks and saeques. Still velvet is al ways velvet, and through every caprice of fashion, must be regarded as elegant and standard. Evening Costume*. Cream white chambery gauze is in unusual favor for evening dresses, and as in all other classes of fabrics so here, the fancy for both plaids aad floral pat terns is apparent. Checks are in every, imaginable size, from the very minute up to large squares, and flowered de signs are in tiny sprays, bouquets and trailing vines. Opportunity is thus af forded for charming combination toilets of creamy white silk and gauze, and also in the various colored fabrics iu vogue. Words cannot do justice to the delicate and lovely hues, which must be seen to be appreciated, and which seem rather the faint shadowings of color than realities. Tulle and tarletan are much worn for evening, either in costumes composed entirely of these fabrics, or as trimmings on white and colored silks, but toilets throughout of such thin materials are regarded as more suitable for debutantes, or very young ladies, than for older persons. Flowers are arranged chiefly in bouquets, scat tered here and there over the costume iu a random sort of way, but new and stylish toilets show a wide garland ex tending the entire length of the train, and placed in the centre of the box plait at the back. Almost an inspira tion seems the present fancy for creamy lace, which bestowed everywhere, im parts a charmingly refined effect—espe cially iu millinery, neck ties and scarfs, where it gives a lovely finish to the toilet. Meares, corner of Sixth Avenue and Nineteenth street, is out-doing himself just now in this special line, presenting also handsome silks, and suits at low prices. Women Beautiful. I would like to say something in re gard to certain curious arts now prac ticed, by which a lady may be made to appear just half her age, but space does not permit farther detail in regard to so delicate a matter. In the near future tbe subject may be resumed. At present, a word as to How They Manage Qliglrs. Not an uncommon, and seemingly in nocent diversion on the part of our rich men ia to “run” a church choir ; always that of some fashionable church. Let it not be presumed that a knowledge of musio is necessary. Greenbaoks accom plish the work more satisfactorily than any degree of aeqnaintanee with the divine art, and provided a pew-holder be willing and able to pay for it, he may easily build up a reputation as a musical critic, and lord it over quaking organists and singers. The more profoundly ignorant the better “judge,” in his own opinion, and to see artists who have spent years in study brought up to be criticised by oue of these white whiskered dignitaries fresh from Wall street is one of those absurd facts which do not startle us, because we are accustomed to them. Sometimes the money bags are distributed among a half dozen, who unite their foroes, and criticise in a body the richest one of course, being the chairman of the com mittee. Rufus Hatch has for years past “managed” the music at Christ Church, and Wm. E. Dodge, Jr., not only runs the ohoir of St. Barthemlow’s, but is himself the organist, both of the above being very fashionable churches—Epis copal, of course, as most of tbe people “in society” hem are Episcopalians. Money, however, does upt rqle Sankey’s great" choir of one thousand voices, which fill the hippodrome as with the roar of the ooean, aud in which that of •ne rich man would go for nothing. Mme. Brignoli, nee McCulloch, form erly a South Carolina belle, has been siuging at St. Stephen’s (Catholic), where she baa been much admired, but is at present the leading soprano of Grace Church. Returning also for a short time to opera (ber proper sphere) she sings in some prominent roles with Mme. Titiens. Rosaline May. AUGUSTA. What Arc its Auraptions. Now that the United States fleet is located at Port Royal and Aiken has be come so popular a place of resort for Northern people, Augusta is alnrcst daily thronged with strangers, These, as a matter of course, desire to see afl of in terest that there is to be seen about oar citv. True, in au inland fiitf life* Au gusta. with not very extettsivg bounda ries, the “lions” are few in number. Rat still there are many things to interest a stranger. The Augusta and Summer ville Railroad will carry him to Summer ville, one of the most charming villages ia the South, embowered as it is in ever greens and towering tree*. The same road will take him to the Augusta Arsenal, where he can inspect a portion, at least, of Brother Jonathan's resources of war. Coming back to Augusta he can, if he feels disposed to take a delightful ride on the waller, engage a pleasure boat and proceed up tije canal to the Locks where he will have a fall view of some of the finest scenery in this section of the State. For miles the Savannah near tumbles and frets among huge boulder; of rock, tossing the white foam from 4*3 angry bosom skyward. Interspersed among tie rocks are beauti ful minatnre islands <*4 in verdure. Rising above all is the ceaseless ?c?r of the stream S'* it hastens onward towards the ocean. ,o#fl more in the city, the stranger, if he be true the North, will finfl eocsiderable pleasure in walking along Groe on street anfl looting the japouicas 009 to full Mooip. Such magnificent specimens this beautiful plant are never seen at tfce iforth- The cemetery, universally pronounced jo be one of the lovliest spots of the Kind is Ittfi Union, will well repay a visit to its sacred precincts. Lower Broad street, with its lav£ avenue of elms, is another attraction. the stranger will find much to him in Au gusta. < A little negro boy in the employ of the postmaster at Washington has been detested in stealing letter#.

Spbingfield, Mass., Jan. 27, 1876. Further examination of the vaults and books of the Northampton National Bank, which was so skilfully burglarized last Tuesday night, confirms the worst fears of the bank officials and the un fortunate depositors and show that it was the most successful as well as dar ing bank robbery on record, the burglars getting over $700,000 in money and securities, a good part of the latter easily negotiable. The property taken qom- P rises $350,000 to $400,000 in United States bonds and bonds and stocks of various corporations. Missouri State bonds, $15,000; Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad shares, $5,000; Lake Shore and Michigan Southern, $3,000; Chicago, Burlington aud Quincy eights, $1,000; Cleveland, Columbus and Cin cinnati, $2,000; Union Pacific, $44,000; Ohio and Mississippi, second morgages, $J65,000; Atchison, and Topeka and Santa Fe, $15,000; Fort Wayne, Jackson and Siginaw, $12,000; Ogdensburg and Lake Champlain, $6,000; Missouri Pacific, $30,000; Greenbacks and Nat ional Bank bills, $12,000; Detroit, Lans ing and Lake Michigan, $7,000; making a total of between $667,000 aud $715,000. Who Are the Losertt. The bank itself loses but a comparatively small sum, probably not over $25,000, but upon the depositors in Northampton and the whole region, who had trusted that safe above all others, the loss will be crushing. The losers, comprising the representive farmers and the manufact urers of the country around, persons of modest competence, this morning find themselves suddenly reduced from com fort to want, their now lost deposits, in several instances, being the hard earn ings of a life time. Among the heaviest individual sufferers is ex-Judge Charles E. Fobes, who loses SIOO,OOO in United States six per cent, bonds, registered ; $28,000 United States five per cent, bonds registered ; $70,000 in railroad stocks; also his deeds, notes, a small amount of silver old coin and his will. Henry Hinkley, $60,000 United States coupon bonds. Henry Bright, a wealthy retired Southerner, $2,600 in cash and considerable in negotiable bonds. J. Stebbins Lathrop, $30,000 Georgia State bonds. Joseph Warner, silk manufacturer, $14,000, all iu negotiable bonds. O. G. Spellman, of Williamsburg, $3,000 of negotiable bonds. Sidney Strong, small package railroad bouds. Senator William Gay lord, $50,000 in United States bonds. Mrs. Lydia M. Turner, Dr. S. A. Fiske, Richard Kingman, of Cummington, aud Horace A. Collins, of Smith’s ferry, are also among the sufferers. Overlooking Thirty Thousand Dollar*. There was a small old safe in the vault which the burglars despised or did not have time to examine, in which were $30,000 deposited by Major Harvey Kirkland for himself and the Hamshire Mutual Insurauoe Company. The old safe also contained the funds of Smith College, President Clark Seelye, $25,000 in bonds belonging to Hopkins Academy at Hadley, with some other bonds of the Academy ; also some of his own, all deposited by Deacon Eleazer Porter, of Hadley; also funds of Winthrop Hill yer, Mrs. Washburne, Mrs. Erastus Hopkins, John E. Porter, and C. C. Dickinson, of Hatfield, all of which are, therefore, safe, Hpw the Snip Was Opened. There is naturally muob. speculation as to how the burglars succeeded so easily in effecting an entranoe to the vault with only the combination and one of the four keys supposed to be abso lutely necessary for that purpose. The opinion is strong among the bank offi cials and others that the burglars had previous accurate knowledge of the four parts of the key, or perhaps even dupli cate keys obtained directly from the factory where the lock was made, and that some of the recently discharged men from the factory were themselves among the burglars. The lock was one of Dexter’s double cjial combination, with Herring’s pafenf for disconnecting the tumblers from the spindle was pat ented by Oscar Yale last April and put on this bank only last October for safety. It was accounted fully equal to if not better than the chrapaffiPteF lopkj but the burglars evidently knew all the ins and outs of the lock; indeed, when the cashier, Mr. Whittlesey, told them that they could not enter with but one of the four keys required, they had responded, “We know more about bank locks than you do.” It is certain that all the Vault doors of the bank were opened with the greatest ease and celerity after the cashier had been forced to give the eombinatiop. Yfoe? e is some indicatjph, however, that the bqrglars did not npefi any key at all, but only the combination, owing to thp careless ness of bank officials or ignorance pn their part of the nature of tbe lock. By the construction of the lock the dial used should be disoonneoted from tbe “spindle” on locking up at night, and then the four parts of the key will be necessary to connect tbe dial with the spindle, and after that the combination comes in play. Now, the first question naturally asked by Mr. Delin, the New York expert wlio came to open the vault door, was, “Did you disconnect that dial from the spindle?” and the clerk interrogated could not tell, and a ques tion fo qnotber person connected with the bank brought the same answer, so also a third question; and Delin says it may be that the burglars needed no key at all, but only the combination, which they received frorn flip The perfegjio.n of ihe plans and the shrewd forethought of the seven professionals is made apparent by every freshly con sidered detail of the execution of their work. Not only were they masked and wore kid gloves, “dusters,” &c., but during the four hours’ stay at the house of the cashier, Whittlesey, they ad dressed each other by numbers as “No. 3, button on those handcuffs;” “No. 5, do this,” &c. A Jolly Set of Burglars. The men were rather a jollvSeet, in clined to pay some attention to the com fort of their victims. They advised the women to put ou three pairs of stock ings, so that the ropes wofild not cut them. Qne of them casually remarked that he noticed Mr. WhßUesey’s ffne watch at Watch Hill, R. L, two years ago, and tried to claim acquaintance with him from that time. This watch they took. When the fellows noticed that Mr. Whittlesey was watching them carefully for some mark of identifica tion they blindfolded him, bat he ob served that one of them was of very commanding stature. Mrs. Whittlesey seems to have displayed a rare wit and presence of mind throughout her trying confinement. When being bound she doubled up her hand so thfit she might loosen the cords, but was commanded to lay her hand flat. Seeming to obey, she still raised the hand enough to work it out of the ropes when the time came. She also oa?fcd W watah by alyly pitch ing it under the bureau; and when they picked her fine cloak out of the bureau, and she said, “Give me that old thing, I’m cold,” she gained that. One of the ladies said she was sick and needed medicine; whereupon an attentive burg lar offered her a spoonful of brandy. There is scarcely a clew to the burglars. Rriflently the gang divided on Reaching the oitV, pan going to New Fork and part to Boston, while it is surmised that one of them got left at HdrßHHnpton, for a man was inquiring soon after anx iously for a chance to follow the regular tram by a freight train ? and a team, driven furiously tqvard Holyoke, Vfas heard by the family of Sheriff Wright passing on Maple street, where also a linen duster was picked rfp. There are many indications that the burglars have been planning their work for at least a month- Some fonr weeks ago a suspi cious character lingered in the bank so long on various pretenses that the offi cers marked him for a burglar. They oer tainly got enough available property to pay them well for their job and the time they took to work it np. The Reward Offered. The bank offers a reward of $25,000 for the recovery of the property and the capture of the burglars, but there is very little hope hereaboat of ever again see ing the burglars or the stolen property. Very naturally all the banks in this sec tion, with or without four-keyed combi nation locks, are trembling lest they re ceive a burglarious visit, and to-day have been pretty generally giving thor ough search to their premises above and below, front, side and rear. GEORGIA FINANCES*. What a Republican Journal Sari. [Baltimore American.] , The Govern r of Georgia devotes nearly the whole of his annual message to the Legislature to a discussion of the finances of the State, which under the manipulations of the Treasurer, a cer tain Captain Jones, have become some what “mixed.” When the Bullock ad ministration collapsed and the carpet baggers took their departure, Georgia repudiated the obligations which had been fraudulently contracted, so that her State debt is only about $8,000,000, interest on which she is able to pay without oppressing her tax payers. But Captain Jones, who took charge of the Treasury after the carpet-baggers vacat ed, has managed to keep his accounts in such a way as to show a deficiency of $290,000, and the Governor boldly charges him with having appropriated $110,274 84 in cash to his own use, and with being concerned in the fraudulent payment of cancelled bonds, by which the whole defalcatiau was swelled to $290,000. We rather like the way in which this Southern Governer dealt with an official whom he suspected of stealing the pub lic money. When the Legislature was in session last Winter, at the suggestion of the Governor, a resolution was adopt ed authorizing the employment of an expert accountant to examine the Treas urer’s books. Id pursuance of this reso lution the Governor appointed a gentle man in whom he had confidence to make a thorough investigation into the condi tion of the Treasury, and wheu this ex aminer struck a trail thaWlie supposed would lead to an exposurJuf the frauds, the Goveruor havin * been apprised of the faot, immediately served a notice upon the Treasurer, calling upon him to give anew bond, with responsible sure ties, within ten days. Captain Jones failed to comply with this Executive or der, and was accordingly suspended from office. When this notice was serv ed on the Treasurer, the Goveruor took possession of the State funds himself, deposited them in one of the Atlanta banks, and for the next ten days paid all maturing bills with checks signed by himself. Then the Comptroller-Gener al acted as Treasurer for the next ten days, at the expiration of which time a successor to Captain Jones was ap pointed and inducted into office. In the meantime suit was brought against Captain Jones to recover the amount of the defalcation. Not being familiar with the Constitu tion and statute law of Georgia, we are unable to say whether Governor Smith acted strictly within the limits of the law or otherwise, but in an emergency like this a determined purpose to save the public money from further spoila tion is a sufficient defense against any technical objection to the means adopt ed. The Governor was convinced that the Treasurer was .acting dishonestly, and he took the responsibility of taking the Treasury funds out of his custody and performing the duties of Treasurer himself until the vacancy occasioned by the removal of a dishonest officer could be filled. We are glad to be informed that, notwithstanding the misappropria tion of the ftfnds of this State, the Treasury of Georgia is not empty, and that at the beginning of the present year there was a balance of over half a million dollars on hand. There are still grave apprehensions, however, that more swindles will be attempted by the parties who have possession of bonds that have been paid, but which were never cancelled. The Governor charges Henry Clews, the former financial agent of the State, with having put Georgia bonds to the amount of @174,000 on the market wfiioh had already been redeem ed, and ex-Treasurer Jones claims a credit of $149,250, which he says was paid out in the redemption of these bonds. He does not know who present ed the bonds, or to whom he paid the money, and all the evidence of payment that he possesses is the possession of the bonds. The Governor evidently suspeots that Mr. Clews and Mr. Jones conspired together to defraud the State. THOUSANDS OF ACRES. Citizen* of Augusta Win a Large Land Suit in Kentucky. In the Louisville Courier-Journal, of last Friday, we find the following : The United States Supremo i .iuit—Settled M Wwf? / ' “Tffe sqit of P. fl. Robert,heirs against Jas. Ballard et al. was decided yester day after a two weeks’ trial. This was a suit to recover about 40,000 acres of land in Menifee oounty, which the plain tiffs claimed belonged to them by right of title, and not to the defendants, of whom there was quite a large number. The verdiot of the jury was as follows : We of the jury find for the plaintiffs as against the defendants embraced in the Crook’s boundary. Also for the plaintiffs as against the defendants in the Ingram boundery. Also for the plaintiffs as against the defendants in the Gibbs bouudafy. Also for the plaintiffs as aaginst the de fendants in the Japqes Ballard boundary. Also for fhp plaintiffs as against the defendants in the Leslie Jewell bound ary. Also for the plaintiffs as against the defendants in the Peter Trace fork boundary. Also for the plaintiff against the de fendant, Washington Pitts. Also for the plaintiffs against the de fendant, Geo. W. McCormick, in the Lindsey k McCormick patent. Also for the plaintiffs against the de fendant, Daniel Morrison, in the Gar rett Ballard boundary. It being agreed by the jury that all of the defendants qrp entitled to their actual enclosures'.in 1858; we also find for the defendants in the Frenchbnrg boundary. Also for the defendants in the Henry Gose boundary. Also for the defendant, Anbury Forb ner. W. H. McKnight, Foreman. The majority of the “Robert heirs” reside in this city. They are the grand children of D. P. Bobert. Among them are Mr. J. A. Robert, ticket agent of the Georgia Railroad, and Mrs. Thomas, of the Central Hotel. We understand that there are six of the heirs living here. They are entitled to two-thirds of the land already recovered. The verdict of the jury gives the heirs the entire forty thousand acres in Menifee county, with the exception of about five hundred acres. The land is situated ab.out forty miles from Lexington, Ky., and ia very valuable. It is said tp, he rich in iron and coal—especially the latter. A rail road from Cincinnati runs through the very heart of it. Mr. P. P. Robert ac quired this vast estate raauy years ago, Liy purchase. At a comparatively late period squatters settled upon it and claimed possession adversely to the heirs of the purchaser. Four years ago the heirs in this city determined to take action for the recovery of the land, and accordingly placed the matter in the hands of Mr. Helm, a lawyer of Louis ville, Ky. As will be seen, by reading, the extract from the (Jouryer-Journal, the suit instituted by Mr. Helm was brought to a successful termination last Thursday. There is yet a large body of land, we understand, in an adjoining county to which the heirs ate entitled, and for the recovery of wh ; oh a suit is pending in the Kentucky Cpurts. It is nqt known what is the actual cash value of tfte land recovered, but it is certainly pot small. A New Responsibility.— The position of stamp clerk in the post office has been invested with anew responsibility; in fact, if the course marked out by a Detroit man, is pnrsned, it will be a most unenviable berth. The Free Press says: A day or two ago, a citizen living on the river road called at the post office to mail a package. He had four cents worth of stamps on it, but when weigh ed it was found to lack two cents. “I’ll not pay it 1 Pourcents is plenty 1” he blustered. “I know what it is worth to carry packages as well this Gov ernment does 1” “The postal law regulates these mat ters,” observed the clerk. “Then I’ll regulate the postal law, I will!” The clerk was wondering how it could be done, when the man continued: “You see this package ?” “Yes, sir.” “With four cents ©n it?” “Yes, si{,” “Well, i am going to mail it. If it reaehes Chicago, all right. If it doesn’t, I’ll come round here and haul you through that window, and break fifty of your ribs and twist you twice aronnd that door!” Applications for the position of stamp olerk should bf sent ip early. Sams of Real Estate.— M. Hyams, real estate agent, has sold the following property: Lot corner Lincoln and Walk er, 64x76, for 8425 cash, to John P. Fos ter; a house and seven acres land on the Sand Hills, to H. A. Smyzer, of Aiken, S. C., for 88,000, A LIGHT HOUSE BUILT UNDER DIFFI CULTIES. [Major George S. Elliott, V. S. A., in Van Mos trands Eclectic Magazine for February.] A celebrated French light house is that of Fleaux de Brehat, a recent erec tion, based upon a huge and treacherous porophyry rock, for ages a terror of every seaman who approached the Brit tany coast. Its architect had to encoun ter every species of obstaole during his work, but, above all, incessant races and eddies of the sea among the neigh boring sandbanks. The foundations had to be sought for far beneath low water; an artificial port had to be oreated; the necessary stone work was hewn aud shaped on the Island of Brehat, seven miles distant. Even when the foundations had appeared above the water, the lower walls of the lower story were submerged a day, leaving heavy deposits of marine plants, shell and seaweed. The workmen lived in huts upon a reef, to which they re tired when the tide rose; aud thus they pushed on their labors, quarry ing and squaring at one time, arranging aud fixing at another. Theirs was a masonry almost without mortar. The bldcks were grooved and literally dovetai ed together, the* course being connected, as it were, by cogs, so that every part relied upon every other, the result being, as nearly as pos sible, an absolute cohesion. In spite of this happy issue, the reporting archi tects would not recommend similar ex periments in the future. Death of a nAed Race Horse. —The celebrated race horse, Dauiel Boone, be longing to Oapt. Wm. Cottrill, of Mo bile, well known to tuifmen, died on the 14th nit., at the Magnolia stock farm, near Danville, Ky. He was, it is stated, in apparent good health the evening be fore his death. Daniel Boone was bred by John M. Olay, Esq., of Fayette coun ty ..Ky.. foaled in 1856, by Lexington, dam Magnolia, by imp. Glencoe, her dam imp. Myrtle, by Mameluke, out of Boba diila, by Bobadil, etc. Asa race horse Daniel Boone first appeared in 1859 as a three year old, winning sweepstakes at Louisville, Ky., in two heats—two miles —beating Joe Stoner, Lindora, Endors er, and a Lexington filly ont of imp. Mar grave mare. Time, 3:461, 3:44*. His next and last race as a three year old was at Memphis, for jockey club purse, for all ages—two mile heats—winning in two heats, beating Hempland, Mary Wylie and Bird-catcher. Time, 3:57, 3:47j. In his four year old form he started three times, Capt. Cottrill hav ing bought him. First in the Campbell handicap stakes for all ages, at Mobile, over Magnolia race course, which he won in two heats, beatiog Nicholas; Al lendorf, Fannie Washington, Planet, Ar thur, Adams and Marengo, paying for feit. Time, 4:43j, 4:42*. His next and best race was for the Crescent Post Stakes, for all ages—two mile heats— winning in two heats, beating Planet and Sigma ; Messrs. BingamaD, Minor, Rich ards and Wells paying forfeit. Time, 3:381, 3:36j. Thus ended quite early in life a brilliant career on the turf. Weather Notes.— We find in an ex change a statement that the present Winter resembles the celebrated Win ter of 1822-3. From all accounts that Winter was as mild as this, with every thing in full bloom and full leaf all Winter. Vegetables of every kind were to be had during the whole season, and fires were hardly ever needed ; but on the 16th of February the weather sud denly changed in a few hours from Sum mer heat to intense cold, and ice form ed all along the Mississigpi nearly down to the mouth. All the orange and many of the fig trees were killed and numbers of oystarmen and fisher men froze to death, as did also many negroes in their cabins. Cattle and hogs froze to death in the fields and woods, owing to the rapidity of the change from heat to cold. It should be a warning to us to make provision for violent changes after so mild a Winter.

THE GREAT REPUTATION Which Vegetine haa attained in all parts of the country as a Great and Good Medicine, And the large number of testimonials which are constantly being received from persons who have been cured by its use, are conclusive proofs of its greal value. It is recommended by physicians and apothecaries. Asa Blood- Purifier and Health-Restorer it has no equal. Yeoetine is not prepared for a faucy drink made from poor liquors, which debilitates the system and tends to destroy health instead of restoring it. Are not the many testimonials givon for the different complaints satisfactory to any reason able persons suffering from disease that they can be cured ? Read tire different testimoni als given, and no ono can doubt. In many at these cases the persons say that their pain and suffering cannot be expressed, as in the cases of Scrofula, where, Apparently, the whole body was one mass of corruption. If Veoetine will relieve pifin, cieanse, purify and cure such dis eases, restoring the patient to perfect health after trying different physicians, many reme dies, suffering for years, is it not conolnsive proof, if you are a sufferer, you oan be oured ? Why is this medicine performing such great cures ? It works in the blood; in the circula ting fiuid. It oan truly be called the Great Rtead Purifier. The great source of disease originates in the blood; and ne medicine that does not act directly upon it, to purify and renovate, has any just claim upon public atten tion. When the blood becomes lifeless and stagnant, either from change of weather or climate, want of exercise, irregular diet, or from any other cause, the Veoetine will renew the blood, carry off the putrid humors, cleanse the stomach, regulate the bawala and impart a tone of vigor to the whole body. The convic tion is, in tbp public mind as well as in the medical profession, that the remedies supplied by the Vegetable Kingdom are more safe, more successful, in the cure of disease, thau mineral medicines. Veoetine is composed of roots, barks and herbs. It is pleasant to take, and is perfectly safe to give an infant. Do you need it ? Do not hesitate to try it. You will never regret it.
