when go to write of that my hand shakes
and the tears come in spite of me, and
somehow seem to be writing of one who

One afternoon little Ben went out mer-
rily to sell his papers, his slender delicate
hands and pale face very clean, and his
long, bright curls shining in the sun. His
mother watched him out of sight from her
window, just as always. That was the
last time she ever curled little Ben's long
brig hit hair; the last time she was ever to
watch her darling from the window. Poor
little Ben!
He had sold three papers, and the little
fellow climbed into street car and sold
another He meant to step off at the
crossing, but the child was very little,
very weak, and missed his footing, and
fell under the car. In an Instant the heavy
wheel rolled over hinl-and poor little
Ben never sold any more papers. Never.
never more! They stopped the car and
picked up the small, crushed body in a
moment. A little feeble, trembling life
yet quivered within him, and he opened
his blue eyes family and begged them
piteously to send for his mother. They
knew the child and went instantly. But
the faint, tiny spark of life glimmered
feebly and went quietly out before the
stricken mother came. And with the cold
hand of death stiffening his white eyelids,
and dinlming his great blue eyes, little he

breath, the words mingling brokenly with
the death gasps: Tell my mother-rye

A crowd of men and women, most of
them with tears in their eyes, saw the
long, bright curls, all draggled and dusty,
two poor little slim hands, broken at the
wrist, one of them hanging quite dead
and liieless-a heart-broken woman moan

CORRESPONDENCE.
The Democratic meeting came off,
as announced, at the Town Hall, on
Saturday evening. The Democrats
were out in goodly number, and many
of our Republican friends dropped in;
some of whom evidently came to hear
and consider, while others took their
seats with " sarkastical" air, SEEM

willing to he convinced, but I'd just

John B. Harrison was chosed chair
man, and introduced the first speaker,
Mr.. Hatfield, who delivered a polished
and able speech. He dissected the
radical platform and showed clearly
its unsoundness and insincerity. At
the close of his eloquent effort an ex-
official of this county rose majestically
and propounded few eonundrums to
Mr.. Hatfield, which he answered in
such a conclusive manner as brought
ought the most frantic and prolonged
applause. The ex-official of this county
sat down.
The next speaker was 1. H. Phelps.
To say that he most agreeably disap-
pointed the audience. is saying moth
ing prejudicial to the previous esti-
mate of his abilities but he was
born and raised in this town and no
man, it is said, has honor in his own
country. He came before i audience
under the same disadvantage as would
any young man of Freedom. In leav-
ing the floor he left an impression
which any young man of Freedom
might be proud to make. His effort
was delivered vigorously and earn :
estly. He presented arguments and
figures that ought to have set the
working men present TO thinking, and
closed with an earnest appeal to those
who loved their country better than
party to come to their country's aid.
Both speeches were listened to with
the closest attention and were fire.
quently interrupted with vehement
applause. III point of interest, earn
estness and enthusiasm it was equal,
if not ahead, of any town meeting 1

are lively. We are healthy, and will
give a salubrious report on the 10th
of October. BEN.

Forthe last few months our, village
has been invested by . nuisance which
of late, has assumed very noxious
form. The sale eyof Intoxicating liquors
by saloons, to all who might desire to
satisfy their depraved appetites,
whether they are young OF old, with
out regard to law, or good order, has
become q very bad nuisance, and has
been the cause of a. general uptising
of the best part of our community,
and united determination lon their
part to suppress a traffic which was
working so great a wrong upon the
morality and good name of our vii
lage. Day after day men who loved
the bowl might be seen leaving town
with reeing brain TO go to their
homes, which We're made desolate for
the want of the money which had
been squandered in the abominable
grog shop. This has given rise. to an
organized temperance movement
which has resulted in the passage of
an ordinance by the council, to close
up liquor saloons, andto suppress this
IHfdHlOuS GfaIuc, ana also Tue lOlQlng
of one individual to answer at the
Court of Common Pleas, to answer. to
the charge of selling liquor contrary
to law. It is hoped that this business
of supplying the wants of drunkards
is soon to be closed up in this vicin-
ity.
The business part of our village
has long felt the necessity of placing
large water tank in some conven-
lent place for use i'm case of fire. A
short time SINCE a subscription was
raised for the purpose, and wooden
tank which holds one hundred and
twenty barrels, was placed in Silver
Street, in front of the Touring mill OF
Atwood g. Davis. This ia oontinns,-
ly kept filed by a water ram, which
forces the water from the mill dam,
