The First Snow.
Written for the Gazette by a School Slrl roeteap Come to the window,
Look out at the snow O'er mountain and tree top, And valley below,
The pretty young sndw-birds Are playing with ease, They enjoy the enow storm,
They're gay as you please. The large sleigh full of children! Just listen how they shout I Harry on with your mittens,
And let us be out. The sleiglr bells still ring,' And amid all the noise, •. While the fire seems to sing
Winter. ha3 joys.
No ^rinkles were upon my brow.
'Tis ago, my child, that's wrought the change, And
I
know you do not think it strange For when you are as old as mo, Perhais your hair as gray will be.
Hut, tny dear, you are now young, With an innocent, prattling tongue Life is now all joy to you
Nothing to think of nothing to do. S. Y. R.
Written for the Gazette. A LOVELY MAIDEN.
An Idyl Concerning Her. To In a romoto Southern village,
That's known to but a few, There dwelt a lovely maiden, With eyes of chocolate hue.
Her ruby lips were parted By the whitost of white teoth, And her cheeks they were the color
Of tho gorgeous autumn leaf. By this I do not uaeah the brown, Nor yet the ugly yellow, But the lovely, shining autumn red
That looks so softly mellow.
Her hair., it tell i'4 riuglets Upon the rounded shoulders. And here it stayed to charm the eye
Of all entranced beholders.
You'd think her hands were moulded From the purest alabaster Her chin it was adorned
With a piece ot sticking plaster*
The time when last I saw her, Was a day in January She came tripping through the rain
Like a little pluui-colored fairy. Now this is all I have to say 'Till again the mood comes o'er me, 'Till thew "au revoir,"
When I shall hope to see you before me.

Visit Cinciunati.
Two gay and gallant youths of Terre Haute were in Cincinnati last week. When they reached Porkopolis they hurried to the hotel to get their suppers, with a view of going to the theatre and spending the evening. IS was late and they were in a Lurry, but as they reached the hotel a policeman clipped them on the shoulders and toll them that he was glad to see them, in fact had been looking for them and informed them that they wrre his men. This looked like business and like missipg that supper and theatre, but one of them, who is a lawyer, placked up courage and meekly inquired of the officer where his warrant was. He informed them that no warrant was needed, but that they were, and sq after handcuffing them, he marched them up in double file to the police station, some two miles distant. In valh they protested that they were two innootnfr youths, in whom was no guiles hat was too thin, the officer told 'in vain they asked to be drivea'ft&t&tfir destination, and equally vain was their request to be taken down -hacjt alleys and tip obscare

dares not to describe,
but prefers to leave to the imagination of. the reader. Once there, he began by going through the letters in their pockets, some of which were from young ladies and contained tender phrases, and tho reading of wLich, out loud to the officers in attendance, revealed for the first time the fact that tho fickle hearted maiden of Terre Haute returned the love of, and in fact was engaged to be married to both. This quite broke down the little spirit that had been left in them after the adventures they had already had, and perils they bad passed. The letters being read, the names on their linen were carefully examined and certain strawberry marks they were supposed to have on their le»t arfns looked at, and finally, having satisfied themselves that these two youths were, as they said, unsopbisti cated, and had not committed any crime, and particularly the crime on suspicion of which they had b9en arrested, they were released with an admonition never to resist officers again —an admonition, by the way, which seemed to be unnecessary, since a mute appeal for mercy and swimming eyes was all tho resistance they had offered, being in fact unsophisticated youths and somewhat dazed besides, by the whirl and din of the great city, with which they h=d not yet grown familiar whoa they were arrested. Released, they wandered to the hotel as hungry as wolve.3, alter that too long deferred supper, and too late for the theater, which they had haped to attend. They shook the dust of Cincinnati from their feet the next morning, boarded tho train bright and early and came home, like the youth who had been kicked by the mule, in not nearly so good temper as they werebefore, but vastly wiser for their bitter experience.They will never visit Cincinnati again.

A "BAD MAN.
A COMHIEB CITIZEN ON THE RAMPAOK.
He Stabs His Landlord and Frightenes His Neighbors.
Smith Johnson is a gentleman of color, who follows the occupation of a farm laborer. He has been boarding for several months past with Thotnas Murray another gentleman of oolorl who lives about four miles from this city, near the county poor farm. Yes terday Murray and Johnston came to town and spent the day in the city. Wh6n they started home late in the afternoon, Murray discovered that Johnson had been drinking, and moreover that he intended to drink deeper ere they did depart, for the prrty of the name of Johnson produced a jug wel filled with whiskyd invited Murray to partake. The latter refused on the ground that he had drank enough whisky while in town to satisfy him for one day. Johnson became enraged at the refusal of bis companion to join hiui in his debauch and threatened all sorts of violence. By the time they reached hbme, both were in a very bad humor. Johnson, vowing vengence for imaginary insults sprang prom the wagon, and started, toward the house of Mr. Donnely, who lives but a short distance from Murray's house. At this place he tried to boriow some weapon, and failing to procure it he next visited the house ot E. Edmunds, a brother of Mayor Edmunds of this city, where he found no one at home except Mrs. E., and her young son, a little child. Here also he tried to borrow some weapon, and behaved in such a manner as to groatly alarm Mrs. Edmunds. Finally he returned to Murray's house and entering the door found Murray and his wife seated before the fire. He began to abuse tbem at a round raf.e, and renewed the threats he had made when they were, on the road. Murray told him to leave the house, when Johnson drew a large pocket knife and started toward his host. The latter grasped a gun which was hanging on the wall, but before he bad a chance to nse it, Johnson was upon him, and aimed a vicious blow with the lniife straight at the breast of Murray, but the latter catgtit the knife in his hand receiving %n ugly cut whioh will, disable hlea for several weeks. Aftea a short struggle, Johnson escaped from the house andned.
Murray went to the house of a neighbor a few hundred yards* distant, for the,pui pose of having his wound dressed, and when he returned he found. Johnson at at his house again, when he heard Murray ootoing the culprit fied again to a neighboring c«rnfield. When he &ad put several hundred yards of Ipace between himself and bis enemy he ^topped and bsgan to hurl terrible epithets and bitter curses at his late host. Marray seized his gun and fired in the direction from which the sound of Johnson's voice came. Of conrse he did notliit him, nor did he expect to do so, his only object being to frighten his troublesome hoarder away. The shot had the desired effect and Murray was lefj in peace for the' rest os the night.
This morning Johnson catne to town and filed a complaint before Esq. Cookerly against Murray, for shooting with intent to kill. The case is to be tried this afternoon, and at its conclusion Johnson will be arrested for cutting with intent to kill. .........

In its
EDITORIAL MANAGEMENT
the GAZETTE is
fearlessly independent
in all things and neutral in nothing. Its views upon the fundamental questions of political economy, and the powers and functions of the Government are clear and well-defined. It is and will be soundly Democratic, according to the ancient faith of that. party. It will advocate a return to specie payments, unshackled freedom of trade, local self Government, as opposed to unconstitutional interference by the General Government in the affairs of the States, a strict interpretation of the constitution, low taxes, and strict economy. It will oppose all special legislation and tne granting of subsidies to private corporations. Its cardinal doctrine is, "equality of rights for all, special privileges to none."
THE INDUCEMENTS
offered to tbe public to become subscribers to the WEEKLY GAZETTE are manifold and to be found in the paper itself. The GAZETTE is managed upon tbe toeory that its subscribers want a paper that can be depended on to give the news full, accurate and complete.

It is usually sold in art fetores, framed, at prices ranging from $16 to $30. Every yearly subscriber to the Weekly or Saturday GAZETTE iwill receive a copy of this beautiful.toi!
