AN AUTUMN LEAF.
BY GEORGE COOPER.

The road winds past the wooded hill;
The quiet farmhouse stands alooi;
The bees hum round the window.sill;
The sun glares on the slanting roof.
Faint streaks OF crimson line the leaves,
And tawny uplands faintly glow
The cradle lies beside the sheayes;
The unhitched oxen homeward 90.
The watchdog stretches by the door,
And sleepy noontide has begun
The rlyer-glass from shore to shore
Creeps drowsily in shade and sun.
O sweetest love, that brought sweet care !
Alone. by tangled roots dream,
And in the rivers quiet share;
No lilies haunt the rapid stream
The bluebird Tits the following spray,
And skies are golden fair,
The criCkets are astir all day:
Sweet sounds are in the air;
And grasshoppers, In rustling play,
Vault round me everywhere.
Where flies the birds All who can tellS
The bee stark. dead will lie;
And faint vii! grow the crlcket's bell
When winds are wailing by;
This idle song OF mine, AZ well,
With autumn leaves will die.

DIED


In this city on Wednesday, January 9Th, In
the 45th year of his age, Rev. JOHN w: NOR
RIS D. D.. Pastor of ST. Bernards (Cathol icy
Church.
DR.. Norris, though comparatively young
man, and for many years suffer- ng from i'll
health, had achieved reputation for profound
and finished scholarship, which extended
throughout the whole country. As an orator
he had but few equals and those who have
heard him speak can never forget the almost
magic eloquen ce ofhis tongue. He was a man
of noble impulses, and his friendships were
not confined within the limits of his own
church or parish there are many who never
knew him in the capacity of a pastor, who
mourn his death with sorrow scarcely less
than that of bis bereaved people
DR.. Norrss was born in the city Of Wash
ingtoa in the year 1924, and having early
shown great aptness as a scholar, he was al
lowed all the advantages which the best schools
in this country and Europe could afford, and
finally graduated at Rome with tt e highest
honors. Having been assigned to this Diocese,
he never left it until his death, but labored at
different. times at Reloit, Racine and Madison
before coming here. a
On Friday his remains were taken to Wash.
ington for interment.
The following resolutions have been handed
us for publication a

One of the narrowest escapes 1 ever heard
OF happened to Mr.. A. P. Stevenson, few
weeks ago. He had sunk well by his house,
some twenty-eight feet. and was stonng it up.
Two young fellows who were at work for him
were in the act Of lowering a heavy bucket of
stone, when the spohes of the #indlass slipped
from the hand of one of them The windlass
few round, and as he tried to stop it, broke the
spoke on his arm, ard threw the other some
feet backwards Jerking the w;udlass to pieces.
Mr.. Stevenson was at the bottom of the we Il
and saw the performance, and dcdged the bucket
as it came whizzing by him, and then dodged
the pieces of windlass, the uprights and poles
that carne Gathering down. He escaped un-
hurt, with the exception of an arm bruised by
one of the tlmbers. If anybody thinks he can
do better than that in the lodging line, just let
him try it.
Christmas passed off here very pleasantly
Il has been customary for the Sunday Schools
to have Christmas trees the Baptists this year
very wisely decided to have quiet dinner for
their Sunday School scholars instead. The
Congregational and Methodist Churches were
filled to sutfocation in the evening. Each Of
them had beautiful tree and large number
of presents not emily for their scholars, but for
everybody who had friends to put things on
the tree for them. It is rumored that some ur-
appreciated persons put presents On for them
selves. Two boys, understand, agreed to each

PETTY SWINDLING.--We do not sup
pose the farmers are worse in this vicinity than
any where else, but we hear of so many acts
of cheating and deception on the part of those
who bring wood, hay and produce to our mar
ket, that it is well for bdyers to be on their
guard when they do not know those with
whom they deal, to be men Of perfect honesty.
We were informed of an instance last week
where person agreed to bring load of wood
to an old man. whose age and reduced crcum-
stances would have prevented any one but
thorough scoundrel from practicing fraud upon
him, and after getting the wood measured as
the ordinance requires, he changed the figures
from l02 to 1872 on the way to the old mans
wood than the load contained. Such an act
needs no comment, and we sincerely hope will
receive its just punishment.
Another farmer who has been selling hay
giving the weight of his wagon at SEQ pounds
less than it really was. 1t appears that he had
bad his wagon weighed, obtained certi6cat e
Gifts weight and afterwards put rack weigh
ing 500 pounds on the wagon, and, when ever
he Soda load of hay, he exhibited the original
certificate, and when detected vas driving
very profitable business. 1t is common game
FOR wood sellers to load with maple or hickory
on the outside and some inferior kind, such as
Eastwood, concealed within. Sometimes two
members of the same family will come with
loads 5, and by keeping the smaller or poorer
Dad in the background, manage to sell the
better one and, if there is chance to play the
game, deliver the other
These impcsitions are very annoying to pur-
chagers, and where any one is detected practic-
rg them, it is a duty owed to the public to see
that the offenders are brought to prosecution.

New METHOD OF HEATING A CHURCH.
The Congregational Church, in this city, is
being heated in a manner novel at least in this
section. Three stoves are placed in different
parts of the basement, and brick arch is built
over and tightly encloses each one of them.
The centers ofthe arches rise nearly o the floor
and communicate through it, by means of hot
air pipes, with registers above. By this means
n far more uniform temperature is secured than
by the use of stoves in the room itself, and the
result of the experiment is so satisfactory that
