And lurks in every flower, Ho snatched that lovely child so dear, In an unexpected hour. That fair young child in beauty dressed, The pride of all who knew her, Has gone to dwell with all the blessed In Heaven, free from fear.

An enviable position truly, agent for Barnum ! ! ! lie has, we-suppose, been tendered that place on account of the tremendous feats (feet) which he is master of. An agent for Barnura' in Boone, collecting wild animals and frogs, will add great interest to a show. And, if Barnura evei runs short of canvass, he can hoist hb agent upon the center pole, and have shade for two feet round, and at the same time, have a 'magnificent sight for a show. " Agent for Barnura ! what do you pay fur frogs? 00" Gov, Wright has accepted the appointment as Minister to Berlin, (that' a neither strange or new,) tendered him by the President.

TThc great Railroad land Sales here last Tuesday were rather a failure El Clark done his best to fdl the bill but it was no s'o some of the owners of the lands stood buy and forbid the sales, and that or something else prevented biding. Of the thousands of acres offered, but one sale was effected -a tract of land 5 acres adjoining Stilesville, to.Wra Hazlett, for 060 per acre.
