found my love In April,
lost my love in May;
With the buds he came 10 seek me,
Ere they bloomed he went away,
Aud | care not for the flowers
Nor for anything 10 May.
When he went he kissed me, saying,
"Tis little short farewell
But the summer will not bring him
And the winter will not bring him,
Though 1t ring the funeral knell
OF fond sud true heart broken.
By "a little short farewell"
All the roses see me weeping,
And they try to comfort me;
But they only make mo sadder--
Make me weep the more 70 see,
That the roses love me better
And are faithfuller than he.
All for me there Ia no comfort
And for me there is no May;
For It's love that makes the seasons
In a woman's heart AWAY
Faithless love brings drear December,
Faithful love brings rosy May

Dog Town, about the old Anderson coal
bank, on the north side of the Edwards river,
in Presumption township, two young cattle
belonging to Edward Boden were struck by
lightning last week on the second night of
the big thunder storm. The two young cat.
tie lay together, one having fallen on top
of the other. The youngest OF the two a
heifer about Is mouths old lay under, and
was struck on the jugular vein in the
neck. The tortuous course Of the vein was
traced along the entire body Of the animal
by charred path on the surface of the skin
where the hair vas completely singed of
the path of the Lightning terminating at the
hind foot. The other one, a steer, one year
old, showed no mark on the surface
Whether this was done by one or two strokes
is not known.

Mr.. Washburn is now actively engaged

in bank according to the terms of the sub.
scription. There is considerable ye. lacking
to make up the amount, but it is hoped that
several large property holders who are hest

portion rather than see the enterprise fail.
Those who are now giving their notes, when
the assessment falls below a share 5000
invariably make it up to that amount. In
this way the sum alrerdy subscribed is be.
