Who threaten all creation!
What of the gallant chief.
Who since the day .

Who, an Buena Vista'a bloody field,
Ma te Santa Anna's myriads yield;
When legion upon legion pressed on.
And the day wat nearly lost and woo ;
Whn gallant Brage,
Without any boaat, ,
With "a little more grape '

But in that bloody conflict fell,
Brave Hardin, Clay, McKee and Tell.
And wbat of "old Chippewa."

In hot haste, one day,
Asking to be eent,

That he might teat

With that cunning pest,

Who modestly styles himself
The Napoleon of th Weal
On Vera Crn billa of sand.
He first makes bia aland,
Amidst a thousand rheere.
And a they did not choose,
To let him in,
He sent them bombe and balls,
And knocked their walls,
Like old shoe,
About their ear.
Next, at Cerio Gordo,
Old Santa thought.
He now had caught
Old Chippewa,
But could'nt atay
Aa he bad "ott to,"
But to remind him
That be wa in the fight,
And took to flight,
He left hi wooden leg behind bim.
Near Mexico, , .
He next met the foe,
With Santa at their head.

NEZER GREENOUGH, aged about 83 years.
The death of Mr. Greenough, though sudden,
wa not unexpected. Tba character of bie di
sease (aa affection of tbe heart) was such, aa lo
preclude all bopee ol reeorery. He waa well
aware, for tome time peat, that the slow but un
erring band of death wa upon him. He met hi
death with the most perfect composure and re
signation, with bia intellect unclouded, and con
scious to the last. Mr. Greenough baa been long
and favorably known aa one of the most distin
guished lawyera in the State. For many years
he stood at th head of bia profession, among the
membera of the Bar in this district,' who, know
ing how to appreciate bis talente and hia worth,
sincerely regret bit death. In private life he wa
amiable, kind and affectionate, and bia moral
character waa without reproach. We aincerely
sympathise with his Tamily In this, to them, af
