GOVERNOR WILLIAMS IS DEAD [A Hequlew, by Rev, Dr. C. T. Corjis*.] Wbat tidings are those from the Capital spreading, < On lightning wing borne east, north, south and west? Why sltteth onr State clothed in sackcloth and mourning? What deep source of sorrow is heaving its breast? The h’ll aud the mountain join with the valley To echo the a id notes of sorrow and woe. The Star Spangled Banner is waving half masted— A token that grief fills the concourse below. The roll of the muffled drum—booming o' cannon— The toll of the death-bell saluting our ears— The slow-measured tread aud the half-suppressed Whisper Are sorrow's deep signal that wells up in tears. A roek has been torn from the bulwarks of freedom ; The loved and the honored lies low in the dus , The dauntless, the fearless, a sage in the council, Has passed from the scenes of his labors and trust. When his country ealled he yielded compliance, And, likeCincinnatus. thrice honored a»u tine: Hie plowrhare he 1< f in tae furrow and hastened To answer its summons, to dare and to do. A diamond, though rough, uncut and unpolished, On which no lapidary had ] Led his art— What though it glittered not. its intrinsic value Lay hid in his kindness and goodness of heart. He has gone to the tomb, where his body reposes— The just and the upright, the wise and the good— But his memory, like the sweet ince se of roses. Still lingers, perfuming the rank where Le stood. He has gone, and a people he loved shall weep o’er him— A people bereaved of theirleader and head: Their prayers and their tears to health could not restore him, The mandate's gone fortii, and he sleeps with the dead. The poet in verse may essay to embalm him— The press and the pulpit may vie in his praise; But words arc too feeble and thought is 100 guidA good matt has gone from the world’s fitful r. S BZC - vanst gild refined gold or retouch with the pencil One hue of the rainbow that arches the sky ? Then language is poor to embellish hi* virtues— Embalmed in our memories, his name can not die.

We Clip the following frora the Youncstown (Ohio) News: “rip van winkle, a rousing crowd and

A GOOD SHOW. The Opera House was crowded to its utmost capacity last night, it un doubtedly being the largest house of the season. Rip Van Winkle, although often produced in this city, had many new featu:es introduced tnto it as rendered last night. The playing of Mr. Crane was simply immense, and in the scene where Rip awakens from - his long sleep, he showed some very ftne acting. Gretchen as defined by Miss Frank Mills was a success, and decidedly the best we have ever witnessed. We have not the space to name all the company, suffice to say they are first class in every respect and were the subject of many praises and fully, maintained their reputations as Stirling actors and actresses. The manner in which Mr.Cranewas received on his second appearance here shows that he has a hold on Youngstown audiences of which he may well feel proud.
