POETRY
From the Wilmington Waterman.
NIGHT.


NIGHT.
Night is the time for fun,
When the old folks are in bed
When days dark cares are done,
And prayers are duly said
And gather round the social fire,
And crack the stale jests that never tire +.
Night is the time TO fix
Our hearts in union meet
With skilful hand to NIX
The potent and the sweet:
To set our watering mouths agog,
And TO taste the glories of egg-noggl
Night is the time 10 boil
Tiffin's enchanting rolls;
And DER the midnight oil,
To cheer our happy souls,
With fresh made butter thickly spread
On corresponding chunks Of bread.
Night is the time 10 feel
Life's joys without a pain;
Apples TO take and peel,
Aud cut and come again;
Aud romping much before we rest,
Feel very sure that they'll digest.
Night is the time for those,
Who, when they take their wine,
BY redness of the nose,
Or any other sign,
Give evidence when we conclude
That they're unquestionably slowed.
Night is the time to pour,
In beauty's listnening ear,
The story, known before,
Nor rendered thus less dear;
OF feelings, which the modest light
OF day, leaves for the shadows Of night.
Night is the time TO sing,
Beneath the easement high,
Those mellow notes that ring
With loves sw eet melody,
While the bright maiden pokes her head
Out of the easement aforesaid.
Night is the time TO do,
A thousand glorious things,
And there are very few,
When covered by her wings.
Who do not feel a freshened fiood
OF mischief brewing in their blood.

CINCINNATI, Dec. o, 1886.

Express, dated,
CINCINNATI, Dec. 0, 1886.
The most extensive business carried
on in u city during the winter months
is the "pork business" All other ay-
ocations must yield to this. Our Pork
merchants are III most wealthy citi-
ems In fact none but those having
money can enlist in the trade, as cash
is required to pay for the hogs, and for
every thing connected with this bust
ness. There are but few of our pack
ers that invest, in a winter, less than
a hundred thousand dollars, and many
go as high as two and three hundred
thousand dollars. Two years ago, one
hundred and Nty.tpo thousand hogs
were slaughtered and packed within
the limits OF the city. Last year, ow-
ing to the scarcity and high prices de-
manded by the farmers, only about
sixty thousand we're packed. 1t is es-
timated that two millions of dollars is
the least average sum invested yearly
in Pork, in Cincinnati. The buildings
used for the purpose Of packing, rem
dering lard, curing and smoking hams,
&C., are very large. The firm of Mil.
Ter d Lee (e%nterprising pork merch-
ants) have a warehouse for their bu-
%siness, built o. brick, of about 100 feet
long, by so or So wide, four stories,
with a smoke house, where at one time
they can smoke ttcentg.fre Thousand
hams ; with an extensive lard room and
cellar, with brick floor under the whole
and finished in the most complete man.
ner. Lot Pugh, Charles S. Clarkson,
and many others, engaged in the same
business, have houses equally as large;
and last summer, another still larger,
and perhaps more splendid, was erect.

oITR ELECTION.

-
We are much disappointed in not being able
TO give more full report Of the result OF 'he
recent election, in this County. Below WIN oe
found such returns as we have received. There
is. beyond doubt, in this County, an increase
of the Wing majority for the State ticket OF
several hundred The Representatives, u VIII
be seen are nearly all Wings. We regret that
two more Wings in Rockingham could not
have been induced to do their duty, and thus
have secured Wing representative from that
town. In this case, the Importance OF sin
gle vote is apparent, and the whigsgin Rock
ingham who neglected to improve this lmpor-
tant privilege of freemen ought never TO forgive
themselves their neglect. A letter from mat
town states that there were three ballotings.--
On the two first, the Wing candidate had two
majority over the Tory, and there were TWO
scattering; on the last, at 9, p. NJ, the Tory
had one majority. But il has been asceTtained
by the clerks record that one Ian buren, man
rofed tscice on the second trial--otherwise the
Wing candidate would have been elected
There will Of course be q contest for the scat.

Town REPREsEsrArivEs.-We have re-
turns from all the towns in this County except
Acton, which was not represented last year
The result is, that sixteen Wings (out of the
~ to which the County is entitled) are eeriain-
~ elected. Putney, strong Wing town, sends
none. The Tories are sure Of only SIR repre-
scntativcs. Giving them Acton, there will be
Wing majority in County Convention Of at
least TWELVE; and this on the suppostion that
the tory member from Rockingham holds his
seat Loco Focoism is no 60 in old Windham.

For The Vermont Phoenix.

Three cheers for Newfane. Political Jug
Cling has run its race. The independent wings
Of this town came TO the rescue yesterday,
with the most gallant bearing. IL is a Water
loo defeat The tory leaders after all their
Juggling and humbuggcry to deceive the voters,
have received stern rebuke at the ballot boxes.
The wing candidate is elected by IS majority
over his opponent, who is decidedly the most
popular man in the Van Buren, party. Jenison
has 81 majority over Bradley. The impudent
libeller who wrote on this election in the "De-
mocrat,- is proved - by the peoples I'M
bought sufirages for the wing candidates. IL
is a triumph Of political honesty and sound re-
publicanism over the most proAigate system of
tory juggling that ever disgraced the town.
Patent democracy alias toryism. has received
its death blow here. The "meagre body with
out lcader," proves an over-match for the
boosted majority ofthe tory newspaper scribler
who attempted TO influence the election through
the columns of the democrat" Experience
is good school master, and we hope this les
son will teach him the necessity of treating the
candidate of his opponents with common de-
cency in future.

THE HURRICANE AT ST. THOMAS

The following is copy of letter re-
ceiyed at ~ Bedford from gentleman at
ST Thomas, dated 9th Of August
ION the evening Of the I'd July, com
menced Que of the most awful and destruct-
i've hurricanes that has ever ravaged these
Islands. A few hours sufficed to PROSTATE
or severely injure at least one thousand
buildings, The shipping in the harbor
comprising about fifty sails, were all de.
stroyed excepting only three or four, and
many lives were lost The violence Of the
wind was so terrific that at about half past
6, myself and family left the house and
wen, into the front fire proof store for safety.
Although built very strongly OF stone, and
but one story high, for the space Of one hour
it seemed rs though the wind would tear the
massive building from its ioundo,ion. Al
half past the wind suddenly luilcd, and
this delusivc calm continued for half an
hour, wheD the hurricane again excrted its
strength, il possible with increased violence
from opposite direction. Is. E.) carrying ev-
cry thing before il chat was not swers away
in the first burst Of its fury. My iamily

smoke, came into the store. Immediate
~ opened side door and found the passage
way leading TO my house, filled with dense
black smoke; rushing down with such haste
as | could over various articles, which the
sea had thrown up and nearly filed the
yard--exhausied and all but smothered, a,
length reached the stairs leading 10 the
house and almost touched the door, when
the flames burst out through the roof Of a
low frame store that joined the house, and
was almost in contact with the stairs on
which stood. The pause of moment de-
cided me 10 retreat Any exeriions OF mine
to avert the progress OF destruction. or even
TO save any thing from the ruin that was i'm
pending over our once happy home, | saw
would be unavailing. Effecling my retreat
with grea, difficulty, gained the street--no
one was stirring, windows and doors were
closed aud barred. and such was the delen-
ing roar OF the tempest, the alarm OF FIRE had
not reached beyond our own premises,
returned TO the siore--my wife aud chill
dren were gone--lor a momeniI ~ az in q
state bordering upon distraction, but 10 my
unspcakabe relief, friend Of ours came in
who had met them in the street and placed
them in safety. Thus, my friend. in one
short hour our comfortable home replete
with all the requisites Of substantial happi-
ness, has become heap OF smouldering ru-
ins, and my wife and children driven for
safety, amid The bowling tempest, uncovered
and exposed to the drenching driving rain
but thank Heaven our lives are all spared,
and no sickness has followed the exposure.

clothing and shelter for the children. Ny
