Cool wind, eweet wind, blowing of the sea,
Have you brought from Adelaide the kiss she sent to

Adelaide's Little maid, fair as summer sh1ee
With all the dew and ali the blue Of April in her eyes
Red her lips Ike Strawberries OF cherries cleft in

But never fruit from any root such heavenly sweetness

I who stole kiss from them not very long ago
Cool wind, sweet wind, oughtn't to know?
Cool wind, sweet wind, dutter far away!
I would rather hear the gale that sweeps across TIE
bay;
Rather greet snow and see md sullen w1ntry rain,
Tlan ali the bloom and perfume that follow III your

When the winde Of winter blow over land md eea,

Merrily tbs narriage-be1ls will sound across the bay

The EPIzooTY.-The horse disease is
gradually disappearing. 1t leaves the
animals very weak, and they seem to
have hardly strength enough left to d.
gest their food properly. 1t is four
weeks now since the disease first ap-
peared here, and no one can estimate
the amount of loss from disarrapge-
meut OF business, impossibility of fill
ing orders and the great inconvenience
it has caused, apart from the expense
attendant on the care OF the sick ami
mails. Our horse owners are profiting
by the experience OF other cities.
though, and they are taking the great
est care to avoid the cause OF dropsy,
that seems elsewhere to follow the
epizooty, by not putting their horses to
work too soon. This is wise and
humane, and when horses become
plenty on our streets again, they will
be out to stay.

One OF THE BURGLARS ARRESTED. -
On the night of November 22i, as our
readers will remember, the cigar store
of Hugo Loos, on Monroe street, was
entered by burglars and about $50
worth of cigars were carried off We
gave the opinion then that the burglary
was committed by boys, and that inn
preston lie proved to be correct. On
Saturday night Officer Mat Perrill ar
rested a boy, about sixteen years old,
named Mickey Altman, as being one Of
the burglars. The officer fonnd him
asleep on the top Of coke oven, at the
Central Glass Works, and lodged him
in the calaboose. On being taken be-
fore Squire Johnston, yesterday, he
made a clean and full confession. He
SAYS that he and a little boy, named
Andy Gallaher, prised open the shut
ters and took out the window in the
rear of Loos' store, and so obtained an
entrance. In default OF giving bail in
the sum OF $500 for his appearance at
Court, Mickey was committed to Jail.

Where they have been used too soon'
or where they have been tasked beyond

DECISION IN THE GiLLEsPY CASE
As our readers will remember, An-
drew Holmes brought suit before JUS
tice job ston against Squire Gillespy,
of Madison township. on the 2lst Of
October, charging Mr.. Gillespy with
having charged and received illegal
fees. The suit was brought to recover
the penalty, which we believe is four
times the amount Of the overcharge
Justice Johnston rendered his decision
to the effect that as no "fee bilr had
been iesued in the two cases for assault
and battery, brought against Holmes,
Squire Gillespy is not liable under the
law as the action is brought, and that
in the case OF surety Of the peace. al
though there were too great an amount
OF costs charged and endorsed on the
back of the papers, such endorsement
is not q fee bill as contemplated by the
law, and that, therefore, Gillespy is not
liable 10 the charge as brou~ht The
Justice is OF the opinion, not .ths'and-
ing, that if the case was properly before
him it might produce a different de-
cision. On the application OF Holmes
counsel, an appeal was granted to the
Circuit Court.
