THE ENQUIRER.
LlTCRFIELD. APRIL =, 1912.

The ELECTION in this town, contrary to our hopes
resulted in the choice Of two locofoco Representa-
tives to the next General AssembIy-aDd in giving
the lOcofocO State Ticket handsome majorisy.-
However much we may regret the result, we can SEQ
IN 1t no cause for dependency; but the contrary
1t should prove salutary lesson to all true Whigs,
to De more vgIant and unring in their future efforts
10 ensure proper degree of activity and prudence
in the management Of public affairs it seems requisite
that the party in power should meet with an occa
siona overflow; and is part of patriotism to in
duge in useless lamentations, or dsheartening Fears
If local and temporary causes have created in our
ranks feeling Of comparative Indifference it is to be-
presumed that when those causes are removed their
results will also cease to exist Let oil who cherish,
in their hearts virtuous love oflibery, and rejoice in
the elevation and prosperity OF the whole people, re-
main ssadfast and united, and the same great prin-
cples and selfevdent truths by which they have con.
quered in years gone by, will again light them to
victory.

After his return from Congress, Potter, with
n party Of men, went to Roses house, to take
him and chastise. probably to kill him, but
he managed to escape. Rose determined to
do the same to Potter, and succeeded as we
have already stated. Several of Potter's
friends were captured, and it was said they

Carolina, an able but most passionate man,

water and dive for it, which he did. Rose
was close behind him, and formed his men

In few seconds he came up to breathe,

days since, posted up the terms of admission at
TWO shillings-persons under eleven years Of
age at half price. \ young chap, about doz-
en- years old, wishing to save shilling in an

and put it in his hat, and on another piece 'eley-
en-" and put it in his shoe; then, with shilling
in his hand and bold front, approached the
doorkeeper, and demanded entrance The
doorkeeper, opening both eyes, and looking
sernIy on the youth, demanded, How old are
you, boy?"-'I am Jet,geen ten and eleUen, sir"
was the reply Accordingly the door was
thrown open 10 him.

The Loved and Lost.

Time hath not power to Dear away
Thine image from my heart;
No scenes that mark life's onward way
Can bid it hence depart.
Yet. while our souls with anguish riven,
Mourn, loved and lost, for thee,
We raise our fearful eyes to heaven,
And JOY that thou art free.
We miss thee from the band so dear,
That gathers round our hearth;
We listen still thy voice to hear
Amid our household mirth-
We gaze upon thy vacant chair,
Thy form we seem TO see,
We start to find thou art not there,
Yet Joy that thou art free.
A thousand old familiar things,
Within our childhood's home,
Speak of the cherished, absent one,
Who never more shall come.
They wake, with mingled bliss and pain,
Fond memories of thee;
But would we call thee back again1
We Joy that thou art freel
Amid earth's conflict, woe, and care,
When dark our path appears,
IT'S sweet TO know thou canSt not share
Our anguish and our tears
That on thy head no more shall fall
The storms we may not flee;
Yes, safely sheltered from them all,
We Joy that thou art free.
For thou hast gained a brighter land,
And deaths cold stream is past
Thine are the joys, at Gods right hand,
That shall forever last;
4 crown is on thine angel brow,
Thine eye the King doth see,
Thy home is with the seraphs now
We ioy that thou art free

The drowsy and half yelled light of an April

unproftably over the borders. A rank crop of
thistles, bnd-weed, and groundessel choked
The beds, over which the shiny tract Of slugs

Scarcely 4 single window pane was unbroi-

brckwork al the lower part OF the building was
without mortar, and seemed crumbling with
damp; and many Of the shutters, which in the

windows, hung dangling upon the rusty hinges.

of arar song written some years ago, from
