The crew of the Dinapore mutinied on the morning of the 1.1th -when the tug went alongside in the har bor to take the vessel to sea, and would not hoist the anchor. This detained the ship until yesterday. It is but the natu ral growth of that system which permits a cargo to be taken on board at one port t Astoria), while the erew is enlisted at another port (Portland). IxcoitiiECT. The name of Capt. Sib son appeared in this paper as comman der of the British bark Woodhall, due lit this port from Hongkong. Our infor mation was taken from Lloyd's register, but we understand from Mr. Sibson of this city, brother of the late commander of the Woodhall, that Capt. Sibson died sincethe report was made toLloyds from which we have quoted, and that there fore, the vessel is under command of an other person. Buy a Home. Although taxes are high and rents are low, (says the St. Louis Globe, and the words apply here as well), a man who buys real estate .and pays for it with his own money is better off than he who gets five per cent interest on a dejosit in a bank. The withdrawal of deposits from the banks ought to lead to a pretty brisk cash busi ness in little houses and cheap lots, and really it would be hard to find a better -disposition to make of one's money. U. S. Statutes.

That is a splendid locality for small gajie like bear, cougar, elk, deer, and the like, and it is said by some that even duck' tuul snipe may be shot, on the opposite side of the point.

Autumn is wandering on down the descending path, and soon wjll the sea son's stately robes rustle the fallen leaves and flutter in the sullen blasts of November. Imbued as they must be with a soul-deep appreciation of the etheral beauty and tranquility of "the soft shadowy days," our readers will thank us for grouping these delicate pen pictures : SLMIMER DYING. On the scarlet mountains yonder, Summer lies down to die; She gathers her robes of splendor Around her royally. Her tender, purpling mosses Pillow her royal head: Her myriad, gentle grasses Are weeping about her bed. It fails, the precious promise Of her beauty's golden reign ; It came, the loss, the longing, The silence, and the pain. She was cruel in her splendor, She mocked us in its reign : She held her careless carnival Above our idol slain. 'Tis not the hand that crowns us, The hand held out to bless; 'Tis the hand that robs and wrongs us, That we often caress. Still, O, beguiling Summer. We o'er thy beauty lean ; Thou didst rob us, yet we love thee Discrowned, we hail thee queen. All passionate fervor faded, With eyes at last serene. Turned toward thy conqueror, Autumn, Thou art dying, O, our queen ! All that thou gavest to us, In thy morning's gracious glow, All thou hast taken from ns. Only our God can know. OCTOIIER. Solemn yet beautiful to view, Montli of my heart, thou dawneth here, With sad and faded leaves to strew Pale summer's melancholy bier; The moaning of thy winds I hear. As the red sunset dies afar, And bars of purple clouds appear, Obscuring every western star. Thou solemn month ! I hear thy voice; It tells my soul of other days, When but to live was to rejoice, When earth was lovely to my gaze ! Oh, visions bright oh, blessed hours, Where are their living raptures now '.' I ask my spirit's wearied powers I ask my pale and fevered brow. I look to nature, and behold My life's dim emblems rustling sound In hues of crimson and of gold The years dead honors on the ground ; And, sighing with the winds, I feel, W bile their low pinions murmur by How much their sweeping tones reveal Of life and human destiny. When spring's delight sonic .moments shone, They came in zephyrs irom the west; They bore the wood-lark's melting tone, They stirred the blue lake's glassy breast; Through Summer, fainting in the heat, They lingered in the forest shade; But changed, and, strengthened now, they beat In storm o'er mountain, glen and glade How like those transports of the breast When life is fresh and joy is new; Soft as the halcyon's downy nest, And transient all as they are true ! They stir the leaves in that bright wreath Which Hope about her forehead twines Till Griefs hot sighs around it breathe, Then Pleasure's lip its smile resigns. Alas ! for Time and Death and Care, What gloom about our way they fling ! Like clouds in autumn's gusty air. The burial pageant of the spring. The dream that each successive year Seemed bathed in hues of brighter pride. At last like withered leaves appear, And sleep in darkness side by side. ALTII3I.V 8UX.SII5XE. Mild as the glances of angel eyes, Soft as the kisses of first born love, Down through the haze of the Autumn skies Comes the glad sunshine from the realms above,. Beautiful pictures it sketchcth now, Touched with the glowing hues of old, Painting the valley and mountain's brow With purple and opal and red ami gold; A whisper of beauty the spirit fills, Tales of a laud that fadeth never, Sunshine that gildeth the beautiful hills, Oyer the bank of the shadowy river. Beautiful rest for the weary soul. Earth hath no beauty akin to this ! Anthems of gladness forever roll Over those halcyon plains of bliss. Down the steeps of life's western hill, Beautiful sunshine of hope and light Every shadow and hope dispel, Lift my spirit from realms of night. S ft as the beams of the Autumn sun, Sweet as the death of the summer flowers, Gather thy jewels one by one, Take my soul to those fadeless bowers. INDIAN' SUM3IEI?. Just after the death of the flowers, And before they are buried in snow, There comes a festival season, When nature is all aglow Aglow with a mystical splendor That rivals the brightness of spring Aglow with a beauty more tender Than aught which fair summer could bring. Same spirit akin to the rainbow Then borrows its magical dies, And mantles the far-spreading land scape In hues that bewilder the eyes. The sun, from its cloud-pillowed chain her, Smiles soft on a vision so gay, And dreams that his favorite children. The flowers, have not yet passed away There's a luminous mist on the moun tains, A light azure haze in the. air, As if angels, whilst heavenward soaring. llftd left their bright robes floating there. The breeze is so soft, so caressing, It seems a mule token of love, And floats to the heart like a blessing From some happy spirit above. These days, so serene and so charming, Awaken a dreamy delight A tremulous, tearful enjoyment, Like soft strains of music at night ; We. know they are fading and fleeting, That quickly, too quickly they'll end. And we watcluhenrwith yearning affec tion, As at parting we watch a dear friend. O ! beautiful Indian Summer ! Thou favorite child of the year Thou darling, whom nature enriches With gifts and adornments so dear ! How fain would we woo thee to linger On mountain and meadow awhile. For our hearts, like the sweet haunts of nature, Rejoice and grow young in thy smile Not alone to the sad fields of autumn Dost thou a lost brightness restore, But thou bringest a world-weary spirit Sweet dreams of its childhood once more. Thy loveliness thrills us with memories Of all that was brightest and best; Thy peace and serenity offer A fortaste of heavenly rest This is a season enjoyed, we believe, by all. The sportsman looks forward to splendid shooting, rambling rubolists to delightful nooks in wood and dell, and the school boy is sure to look forward with pleasure to the days, When the sound of dropping nuts is heard, Though all the trees are still, And twinkle in the smoky light The waters of the rill. & Small is the sum that is re quired to patronize u newspaper, amply rewarded U patron, I care not how hum ble and unpretending the gazette which he takes.
