OUR EXTRA TRAIN.-We understand
that notice has been given by President
Gibbons, to the Lessees of The Del. r.
r. to discontinue the night train of this
train of this line from, and after the lst
day of July. 1t is know that the extern
sion of the Harrington line into Milford
is solely at the expense of the Del. r. r.
Co., which is admitted to be great ac-
commodation to our citizens, and highly
creditable to the two companies. And
as it cost the j. 81. B. r. r. Co. nothing
to operate that line, it is query with
our people why it should be withdrawn
at the expiration of that date; that being
the notice required by the terms of the
agreement between the companies to
discontinue the arrangement.-M Mutual

10 AT the election in Paterson, N. j.,
on Tuesday, the Republicans, in order
to gain control of the city, melted a
riot in the Eighth Ward, as the indica-
tions were that the vote o. that Ward
would decide the election in favor of
the Democrats. During the progress
of the riot, the judges were driven off,
and ballot-box seized and Destroyed
The Republican ticket is therefore cleo
ted, as there is no authority, under the
new city charter, for filling the vacan-
cies either by new election or by ap-
pointment. Will the "Senate Commit
tee to investigate alleged Southern out

The Illinois Legislature has under
consideration bill which proposes a
revision of the jury system. 1t raises
the qualification of jurors, reduces the
exemptions, and provides that the selec-
ton of suitable persons for jurors shall
be made annually. The design of the
bill is to break up the PROFESSIONAL
system; and to accomplish this, the fact
that person summoned has served as
juror within year is to be made le-
gal cause for challenging him.

For the Herald.
TO A wITRERED ROSE.


Thy brightness Is clouded,
Thy verdure has fed,
Aad thy blossoming leaves
Are all wasted and dead
Thy beauty has faded,
Thy sweetness is gone,
And cold and neglected,
Thou with'rest alone.
Thy fragrance no longer
Thy fragments can save,
For thy lustre is quenched
In the gloom of the grave.
And thus. when the glories
OF earth pass away,
We leave them to scorn
And oblivion prey.
But the fair hand that pluck-d thee
To Irvine DER her brow,
Is, alas now as cold
And as senseless as thou;
Those cheeks which could rival
Thy once matehless bloom,
Now moulder to dust
In the depths of the. tomb
And the eyes, which once sparkled
With boundtess delight,
Are unconscious and dim
AS the dark shades of night.
And with fond sympathy I'll plant
Thy gem above her head;
That DER her narrow dwelling-place
Thy sweetness may be shed.
And thou that once bedeck'd her brow
Renewed in life, shall bloom;
And scatter thy fragant love-lineS
Around her lonely tomb.
