PORTLAND, May A fire at Bar mills, Bux-
ton, Wednesday night, destroyed S. G. Brad
bury & Co.'s furniture mandatory and double
saw mill, Berry & Palmer's grist mill, Stephen
Towle's blacksmith shop, and B. c. Jordan's
country store. Bradbury & Co., lose about
$4,000: Berry & Palmer, 50, 500; Stephen Towle,
$1,000; and B. Z. Jordan, $4,000; total, about
$4,000. Mr.. Jordan had an insurance of
$1,000. The other property was uninsured.
CONNECTICUT.
HARTFORD, May 4-The legislative commit
tee examined the votes in the ballot-box at
Enfield to-dry, and found one package of votes
for the democratic state ticket which had been
called off to the tallyman on election day as
containing nincty-six votes, but which really
contained only seVenty-siX votes. The mistake
occurred by the manner in which the figures en-
dOrsed on the package were made. The was
rounded at the top so that, turning the figure
bottom side up, 1t looked like a six, and, look
ing at it in this way, when calling it off, the
counter gave it to the tallyman as ninety-sX.
This takes twenty from English's total vote.
The committee will go to New Haven, Friday.
Should they find no errors in the count there,
the real vote, according to to present develop
ments, would stand: English, 47,476; Jewell,
47,478; scattering, II. Neither English nor
Jewell would, theref re, have a majority of all
the votes cast, and the legislature would have to
choose 4 governor by ballot.

THE BEWITcHED TERRIER.

GA6 02W 4GSA6O GG664Ehs
Sam johnson was y Guild man,
Who lived dow n by the seG;
He owned a rat tan terrier
That stood bout one to three:
Aud the way that creature chaWed up rats
Was gOTjuEs for to see.
One day the dog vas slumberin'
Behind the kitchen stove.
When suddculy wicked flea
ugly little cove
Commenced upon his faithful back
With many jumps 10 rove.
Then up arose that terIier.
With frenzy In his eye,
And, WAitin' long enough
To make a touching cry
Commenced TO tWisi h.sself around
Moot wonderfully Spry.
But all in vain. his shape Was such
So awful short and fat
That though he doubled up hisscIC-
And aIraiaei hIsseIf az that,
His mouth was half an inch away
From where the Varmint sat.
Tho dorG 1T up an awfuI howl,
Aud twisted like n eel,
Emitting cries of MISERY
At every nip he'd feel,
And tumblin' dow and iumpin' up,
And turnin' like a wheel.
But stilI that owdacious flea
Kert up a constant chaw
just where he couldn't be scratched out
By any reach of paw,
And always half an inch beyond
His victims swapping jaws.
Sam johnson heard the noise and came,
To save his Ruimile;
But when he see the cTCatuF Gpin-
baTEin' all the while
He dreaded hideT.ohiS,
He then began TO rite.
''The pup is mad enough" said he,
AMI luggin' in his Ak,
He gave the WTt e ned terrier
A pair of awful cracks,
That stretched him out upon the floor
As dead as carpet tacks.

Somewhere.

BY AUGUSTA COOPER BRISTOL.
Somewhere, await the treasures we have strewn.
Which idle hands and feet have rudely shat
tered;
and tenderest love shall gather as its own
The pearls thus scattered.
Somewhere. the tears of broken hearted trust,
OF patient sacrifice and self submission.
Shall form the rainbow promise OF just
And full fruition
Somewhere. the narrow stepping stones we
tread
The steep and terrible ascent of duty
Shall change to velvet terraces, o'erspread
With emerald beauty.
Somewhere. the doubtful seed that we have
sown
Shall well disprove cold. uncertain rootage,
And vindicate the hope we now disown
By fairest fruitage.
Somewhere our human effort of to-day.
The faltering outcome of pure intention,
Eternity shall hold as brave assay
And true ascension.
o Universal soul The finite range
OF earth and time may dwarf our high en-
deavor,
Yet life is victory, through the evolving change
o" thy Forever.

Society and Fashion.

DAINTY precision and freshness in
dress is essential to woman as to
flower.
NATURE, says some one, very benevo-
lently guards rose with thorns and q
woman with pins.
LARGE silk handkerchiefs are consid-
cred very elegant for gentlemen's wear
and very expensive.
SOME extreme young gentlemen are
are now wearing pumps and colored silk
stockings for full dress.
EYEGLASSES are worn by young swells
to let people know that their eyes are
affected as we'll as their brains.
THE Empress Augusta literally pat
ronzes German organization which
originates new fashions in dress.
LACE sacks, white or black, lined with
fancy colored silk, are very stylish for
house wear with black silk skirt.
A pARAsoL has been invented which,
when not in use, can be folded III a
very small compass and carried inside a
muff.
A NEW style of visiting card is of thin
strips of wood, highly glazed, on which
the name is engraved in old English
letters.
VERY elegant belts are now made of
the light colored tortoise shell, with a
large buckle, and book for watch, and
are worn in full dress with light silk
dresses.
MANY young girls are suffering with
disease and curvature of the spine, pro-
duced, the doctors affirm, from no other
cause than the wearing Of the French
heeled boots.
The latest style of wedding cards
have the ages of the contracting parties
engraved in one corner. We think there
are some few persons who might seri-
ously object to this fashion.
IMITATION jewelry is no longer worn
by ladies who are able to afford any
thing better, as nearly every woman of
large earrings and bracelets of the bright
French gilt.
The present style of young lady's bow
is complained of as being mildly mel
ancholy," and giving the impression
that she has just lost her dearest friend,
or dropped ice cream on the front
breadth of her new silk.
PEOPLE of good taste dress very
