Ah, don’t you come a-wooing with your long,
long face,
And your longer purse behind :
I’m a bright young girl, and 1 know my place,
An 1 I think I know my mind
l like to laugh, and dance, and sing.
And to tease my parent-* dear.
My brothers call ine a •‘tiresome tiling
But they wouldn't mi.-s me here.
0 'tis I am my mother ? delight,
And my father's right hand brave.
Would 1 leave my home so free amt bright
To to a rich man's slave?
Would 1 buy myself a gown of silk
In u grand dull house to pine,
When I’ve boys to play with and cows to milk,
And the whole fair world is mine ’
Ah, don't come talking of the cares of life;
My head is golJ, not gray: _ t
And it's my d» -ire to he no man's wile—
At leant, not just to-.lay.
But I’ve a heart, and it’s warm and true,
And I'il keep it safe at ease;
And if one I love should one- to woo.
I'll give it—when 1 please!

Jackson Hoff, a well known citizen living
on the Snickers < lap turnpike road, dropped
dead on Sunday last. He had finished eat
ing iiis breakfast, and without complaining !
of feeling unwell walked to the door, when ,
he fell and died in a few moments of heart
disease. He was about sixty-five years
old.

i he grand jury, wrucu nasocen
for eleven days investigating the causes ol
the failure of the Planters and Mechanics’
Bank, of Petersburg, Virginia, finished their
work and made their report t» the Hustings
Court Thursday la*t. Presentments fur
misdemeanor were made against J. I\ \oung,
the president; H. 15. Parker and J.C. Drake,
directors, and Thos. Whyte, cashier, for a
liusc and violutiou of their duties as officers ,
of the bank in making false and fraudulent
reports of the condition ol the bank. All
of these parties are prominent in the busi
ness and social community, and arc well
known abroad. The jury also made three
pres* ntments for felony against \S . W . ,
Whyte, the assistant teller of the bank, for
making false entries in his books to conceal
the true accounts of certain olKecrs and de- j
po.-itnrs of the bank, and thereby enabling
and assisting them to obtain money to which
thev were not entitled. Of course the ac- ;
lion of the grand jury created a sensation.
