Written the death Of Fred, Porter only child
If Julia and f. 2. Williams
Two small hands folded on waxen breast
Two baby-eye-lids on a cold cheek pressed
Another sinless baby-heart at rest.
Our darling one.
Into no crooked paths in iife's rough way
Those little tender feet will stray;
Gathered 50 early to Christ's fold away.
Our baby
And hence, in after years, no sin or shame
Shall ever near his heart or brand his name
Safe in Our Fathers arms from earthly blame.
Our angel one.
Perhaps the baby feet gone on before
VIII meet thee, Freddy on the shining shore;
Freddy and Tutie, angels evermore.
Our little ones.
Oh, sorrowing parents, through the misty screen
Which wells the visible from things not seem
Their baby hands are beck oning you between.
Our angel ones.

THE NEWS says the Reformers who are
dissatisfied with Rindskopf are corrupt
are ''trying to coax some candidate with
bushel of money to run for Congress. y
'sThese men" says The News, ''speak
coolly about how much money it will
take to beat Sam" On the other hand,
The News does not deny that it has been
bought up, nor does it deny Judge NAL
lory's charge that money was used to Sc
cure Rindskopf's nomination. Now what
are we to think of Reformers, as q whole,
on their own testimony?

THIS is not our fight. Judge Mallory
and those who have joined with him in
denouncing the Reform candidate for
Congress in this district, have known all
along, knew last fall, that the so-called
Reform party was founded on fraud and
succeeded only through corrupt means.
Yet they never 'squealed," but stuck to
the party, voted with it, worked for it
and denounced the party opposed to it.
Like gambler who never complains as
long as he wins but when he loses hunts
up policeman, they now call on Re
publicans to help them out.

Old PAPERS,

Many things connected with the early
history of this county will be forever lost
unless file of some of the early newspa-
pers can be rescued from the old boxes,
trunks and garrets of some of the early
settlers. Since we came here, in 1851, we
have complete fle-but of the papers
published here previous to 1851, none is
known to be in existence.
We therefore ask the early settlers of
this county to hunt through their old
boxes, trunks, closets and garrets for any
stray copies of any paper published in this
county previous to 1851, and send them to
US. We will get them bound in an endur-
ing form so that they can be preserved and
referred to by anybody who wishes to see
them
