TO the Friends of Frank Day.

o! murmur not, though one you love
IL from this bright earth called away.
Ho trusted in the God above
With whom hs'll dwell thro' endless day
You know full woll that over all -:
Is One who knows each life full we'll;
Who marks zach little sparrow fall.
And ever doeth all things we'll"
o! murmur not, though life seem dark,
And gloomy clouds obscure the sky;
Be strong in faith, you soon will meet
In bright realms Of Bye-and-by.
Through oil this world, the fairest flowers
That wreathe our lives, the soonest die
But oft such loss in earthly bowers
Doth win 4 fadeless crown on high.
O! murmur not, though ofton here
Should trials hard to thee DO given;
The crosses that We RIGHTLY bear
But brighter make our crown In Heaven
You soon will meet; so in thy strength
Thy crosses bear; they'll sooa be DER.
Trust in thy God, and in His time
Thou too, wilt rest on yon bright shore.

Acc1DENr.-Last monday, Goo. W.
Robinson, Of this city, was engaged in
cutting wheat on his farm near. Pat
Eagan's, in Lansing. Having occa-
sion to 60 to the station, his father, an
old gentleman Of eighty years, got up
on the harvester to drive. The. team
consisted Of his spirited bays, and a
single horse on the lead ridden by a
boy. Seeing some cattle breaking in
to the field, the old gentleman shouted
to them, 70 loudly as to Tighten tho
team, and they ran. The lead horse
did not get out Of their way and was
consequently thrown down before thoy
had gone far, the boy falling under;
but sustaining no serious injury. Mr..
Robinson MAS thrown upon tho plat
form just back Of: the sickle, where he
was held fast by the logs Of tho horse
that had. been. thrown. Ehos animal
lay with two feet under the bar. and
two above, ia such = position as to have
been cut through and through had. not
his body been protected by the guards.
Notwithstanding, two Of its lsgs wore
badly injured; the principal cord d
one being nearly severed, and deep
flesh wound made in the other. The
old man WAS bruised somewhat, but
not seriously. The machine was 90
badly broken that no attempt will b
made to repair it this season. The
old man thinks he will speak more
mildly 70 To cattle next time. "

Boston Dry Good Market.

FRIDAY, June, IL.
The market during the week under review has
been quiet, but not more so than usual at this
son of the year Agents generally have been quiz
ct, and we do not learn of any transactions of mag
nitude in Brown or Bleached Goods, and there
is more confidence of large fall trade, there is
less disposition to offer further concessions to buy
ers, and 1t would seem that bottom has been touch
ed. Jobbers have had some trade in filling orders
from the interior and supplying the wants of the
city and large town retail trade In Brown Cottons
there IS no special change to note, and the demand
for any brand has been limited to such quantities
as were required for the supply of present wants.
Agents are not forcing sales, and should there be
anything like an active demand from jobbers pric.
es would improve. Bleaehed Cottons are quiet,
and the sales have been light but there is spec.
al change to note IN prices. Ticks are inactive.
and the demand, usual at this season. is cOnfn.
ed to single. lots smaller quantities to fill
orders. There is very little inquiry for Stripes, and
the demand for the most attractive patterns is
small. Denims and CottOnades not selling ex-
cept in small way. A decline in two
makes of fancies early in the week led to large
sales in New York, but trade here has not been
brisk and the transactions have been confined to
small sales of new styles. Gnghams are quiet,
and the demand has been in small lots
WoOlens remain without any special change, ex-
ccpt there is more demand for WOrsteds from the
clothing trade, AMI we hear that sales have been
made at prices quite satisfactory to the manufac-
turerS.

AFTERNOON TELEGRAMS.

New York, Is. There have been "a sui
cides in the city during the last two months,
which the doctors regard as proof Of peri
odical recurrence of what they term the sui
cidal manis.
The bricklayers' strike which will COM
mence Monday unless the builders pay the
standard wages of 81 per day fixed by the
General Council for the year, threatens to be
more serious than any of the other strikes,
as the places of the strikers cannot be so
easily filled by other workmen. If the strike
is persisted in it will put stop to building in
this city and Brooklyn, except to complete
contracts already begun.
The competition between the ocean steam
ers in storage rates hence to British ports,
still continues. One line alvertises tickets
for SO and another offers to carry So less
than any other competitor.
Prominent builders of this city state that
the element which is now urging on strikers
in this city and Brooklyn is that class of men
who came from everywhere during the win
