WINDsOR.-Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Slough
ton of New York, with other friends,
have been at Windsor in filial attendance
upon his aged and beloved mother, Mrs
Horace Lane, in her last hours. After a
long and painful illness she peacefully
departed this life, on Wednesday even
ing, April 9th.
The old contract for the labor of the
men at the State Prison was 40 cents,
the new contract secures 70 cents. The
old contract for part of the men expired
May 1st, and for the whole August 1st,
1870.
The Chronicle says scandalous item,
originating in Boston penny sheet, re-
lative to the charges made at hotel in
Windsor, has been caught up by some of
the papers, as if it came from a respeeta-
BILE source. There are two houses of
public entertainment in Windsor, and
which of these is meant, we do not know,
but we do know, that city swells of a GER
tain nameless sort, of which the origina
tor of the fling referred to, doubtless was
one, may expect to find Windsor a tough
place for some of their disgraeeful prac
toes.

NEW YORK, May 10.
A dispatch dated Paris, Tuesday night,
says last night the insurgents became
convinced of the impossibility of holding
Issy and began its evacuation by way of
Vanvres to escape the fire of the enemy.
The cannonade of the enemy became fear
full and caused an explosion in 1ssy and a
great fire in Vanvres. Meanwhile the in
surgents attempted to attack in the direc-
ton of Neuilly, but were moved down by
the government mitrailleuses. Great
slaughter was caused and the survivors
rapidly retreated. The cannonade of
Neuilly is now violent. Gen. Rossel now
refuses the dictatorship and accuses the
Commune of meanness. He complains of
the cowardice of the troops in Issy and
says that instead of fighting officers they
had talking ones. Claseret will be tried
tonight. The column in the Place Ven
Dome will be destroyed tonight. The
tricolor is planted over Issy.

the Yersaillists. Fort Vanvres is expect

THE BIRD THAT SUNG IN MAY.

THE BIRD THAT SUNG IN MAY.
-to:-
A bird last spring came to my window shutter
One lovely morning Gt the break of day;
And from, his little throat did sweetly utter
a most Inelodious lay.
He had no language for his joyous passion.
No solemn measure, no artistic rhyme;
Yet no devoted minstrel e'er aid fashion
Such perfect tune and time.
It seemed Of thousand joysa thousand stories,
All gushing firth in one tumultuous tide!
hallelujah for the morning siories
That blocm,d ON every side,
And with each ca ticle's voluptuous ending,
He slipped u .dew drop from the dripping pane;
Then hea1euward his little bill extending,
Broke forth 10 song again.
/ thought to emulate his wild emotion,
And learn tbaBks sgiving from his tuneful
tongue;
But human heart ne'cr uttered such devotion,
Nor human lips such song.
At length be few and left me in my sorrow,
Lest shuald hear those tender notes no more
And though | carly walked for him each morrow,
lie ramc not nigh ny door.
But once again, ono silent summer even,
I met him hopping in the new mown bay;
But ne was mute, aud looked not up TO heaven
The bird ,ha. sung in May
Though now hear from dawn to twilight hour
The honrse wooipecker and the noisy jay,
In vain seek through leafess grove and bower
The bird that sung in May.
And such, mc,hinks, arc chi.dhood's dawcing
pleasures.
They charm n moment and then dy away;
Through life We sigh and geek those missing
= treasures.
The birds :hat sung in May.
Thf. little lesson. then, my friend, remcrbor,
roscise eacS bright winged blessing in its day
And never hope to catch in cold December,
The bird thatsung in May.
