DECORATION DAY At MpDLEBrKY.-
The sad, but precious privilege, of de-
.corating the graves of the bravo soldiers
from our town who fell in the war with re-
bellion, was but imperfeetly carried out
by our people last Sabbath This was
owing - the want of AN organization on
pulic in our place an omission that will
not occur again Yet Notwithstanding, a
large number of our citizens, at 6 p M
gathered at the cemetery aud strewed
flowers on the graves of our departed
heroes and i'll many instances, believed
them with their tears. No one being pre-
pared by previous notice with any re-
marks, impromptu speeches were made by
James NJ. Slade, Esq, Hon. John W. Stew
art, Rev. Mr.. Cook and DIR. kitchelf The
choir of the NJ f. Church sang several
exercises conducted under direction of
Col. Knapp were closed with prayer by
DIR. kitchell. Within our cemetery lie
the remains of those who were engaged
in the Revolutionary War, the war Of
1912, and the war with the great Rebel
lion Two of these wars were where the
life of the nation were in issue, and the
other in vindication of the nations homer
How beftting we should remember all
those who SO freely fought and died that
we might live, that the goodly land might
ever be one where liberty and law as en-
bodied in our noble constitution shall pre-
vail. and the rights of all be honored, re-
spected and maintained
The following are the braves that are
buried in our cemetery: Epaphro Sey-

Comstock and T. NJ. Phinney were buried
on the battle field, while monuments are
with us to their memory. In other ceme-
teries in our town, others are buried who
fell in defence of their country. What
sacrifice in this war of blood, life and
treasure to save nation? What desolu-

of widows and orphans through our landr
What untxld suffering of body and mind?

UNDER THE BLOSSOMS.

Beneath the blossoms 's Flo f" and
Sat one lingering eve in Nav,
Beneath the blossoms white and red
While softly closed the vernal dav
While streaming through that orchard Ole
The parting sIubeams showered thei
gold,
For, brightly on the green turf lay
The smiles Of God that balmy day.
} The robin sang among the boughs,
The oriole whistled from his tree,
And every living thing did seem
I To join the vesper Hinstrelsy.
And lightly on my " FlO's" bright hair
The fragrant blossoms rested fair.
Descending on the breath of spring,
Like plumesfrom loves eneircling wing
We read together from a book,
Our breath did mingle DER the page,
It was tale of those who loved
IN years long gsinee-another age.
And eft some warbler fitting nigh,
Upon US archly turned his eye,
And every sound TO evening dear,
Came low and peaceful on the ear.
Far on the hills, the rounded sun
A moment seemed to pause and rest
A moment seemed to Gnger there,
Then slowly sank beyond the west.
From his broad disk the level beams
Shot like a thousand golden streams,
And shining long athwart the sky.
One brightest ray bathed % Flo" and l..
Her soft eyes watched that parting beam
Declining glide along the even,
Till. ontopmost boughs It cleaned,
Then gently was withdrawn to heaven.
"Ohl he my life like it,'' she said.
Like that fair ray of gladness fed;
And when part from those / love,
May | as gently glide above"
How fondly to my heart pressed
The tender girl, with rapture sweet.
Flushed in the blue, the vesper star
Looked down upon my JOY complete,
How few on earth be hours SO rare!
How few indeed such moments arai

that there is considerable danger at

America, London, and other places,

whilst the number in use in Birming-
ham and vicinity is daily increasing,
it may not be inOppertune to draw es-
pecial attention to an accident which
happened in Birmingham on Satur-
dav afternoon to a rider on veloci-
pede. A gentleman proceeded down

that in which the bicycle was travel

am almost met, and the rider OF the
former. seeing it was impossible to
mass behind the vehicle, turned the
wheel of the machine so as to cross in

tion of the rider, the velocipede turned
completely over, just before the horses

an in his power to turn aside, but was
powerless to prevent the horse and
carriage from going over the unfortu-

the carriage went over bis shoulder,
and inflicted serious injuries, and 1t

he was not killed. The occupant Of

LONDON, June j.-The temperate
speech Of Lord Clarendon In the House
II Lords last night on the subject OF
the Alabama treaty, has elected the
following comments from the press:
The Times SAYS: "FOr our part,
considering the demands Of America,
and the ready concession of England /,
we wonder that the latter got off 50
well. The rejection of the treaty was
more Of a lucky chance than the result
Of frmnesS on the part of anybody en-

The Standard says: The negOtia-

cause America never intended for

admits that it is her duty to renew the
efforts for a peaceful settlement
il is without hope that our
honest desire for such set
