marched down tbe Creek, as fast as they
came to tbe different gangs inducing tbe
disaffected ones to join, and forcing those
who wanted to work lo stop. Tbe last gang
at work oa. the Columbia farm were not
willing to quit tbe work, but were com
polled to do so by tbe threats of the Titus
ville gang. Both companies were paying
their workmen $2,00 per day, tbey striking
lor $2,60. It is understood that tbe rail
road companies refute to accede to tbe do
mandator Increase of pay.
Tbe last seen of tbe strikers tbey were

by a small boy bearing three bauduercbiefs

exclnimed in a trsglsai voice in tbe Swed
ish tongue: "Jorj veirj tlnj tlascka,"
whivb interpreted means "Whoever throws
down tbe striker's flag, spot him on tbe
soont." And on they marched.
Wears informed by Mr. Mitchell, the
gentlemanly routractor on Ibis section, that
work oo the W. Si V. Road will only be sus
pended a day or two by the strike;
A Speck or War Durlog tbe past

Landing, drilled a well on tbe McElwee
tract, Cherry tree Run, which turned out to
be a dry bole, and not caring to use the ma

made an offer lor tbe properly and was ac
oepied. Not having the required collateral
security bandy, McR. turned tbe matter

on the 10th purchased the property, payiog
therefore something over $1)00 and taking a
bill of sale tberelor. Oo Friday lost, Mr.
O. commenced removiog bis properly,wben
a small army of men from Kane City, lead

forcible possession ol the premises, proper

six days before tbe Osborne purchase. For
a short lime Osborne resisted tbe toe:rry't
advance, but the valiant O'Doonell brougbt
apnirol heavy gas tongs to bear against
Mr. O's head, tbreateuing to brain him,
break blm In two, &o., unless be ''vamosed

belter part of valor" for Ibe time being, Mr.
Osborne left, and subsequently the proper
ty was removed by O'Donnell and party.
Flndlog be could' not regain peaceable
possession of lbs property, yesterday after
noon, Mr. Otnorna appeared before Justice
Reynolds and oiade affidavit tclbe forego- '

SPRING.
Tb sweet south wind s long
Sleeping: In other climes on sunny seas,
Or dallying witb the orange trees
In tbe bright land of song;
Wakes unto us, and laughingly sweeps by,
Like a glad spirit of the sunlit sky.
The laborer at his toil
Feels on bis cbeek its dewy kiss, and lifts
His open brow to eatob Its fragrant gilts,
Tb aromatio spoil
Born from tb blossoming garden of tbe
soutb,
While its faint sweetness linger round bit
mouth.
Tbe bursting buds look tip
And greet lb sunlight, while it linger yet
On the warm hillside, and tbe violet
Opens ber szure cup
Meekly, and countless wild-flowers wake
lo fliog
Their earlier incense on tb gale of Spring.
. Tbe reptile, that hath lain
Torpid so long within bis wintry tomb,
Pierces the mould, asceodlng from its gloom
Up to the light again;
And tbe little snake crawls forth from cav
erns cb ill,
To bssk as erst upon tb sunny bill.
Continual songs oris
From universal nature; birds and stream
Mingle their voices; and tbe glad earth seem
A second Paradise I
Thrice blessed Spring! taou bearest gifts
divine;
Sunshine, and song, and fragrsnoe, all are
tbinel
Nor unto earth alone!
Tbou bast a blessing for l he bumsn heart,
isaim lor its wounds; and healing for iu
smart,
Teniae of Winter flown.
And bringing bone upon tbv rainbow win.
