POETRY
PARsON LEE,

To drowsy country village
Game certain Parson Lee;
And y man SO quantity different
From all the other men was he
THAT the Squire himself the skeptic,
Came to church 20 hear him pray,
And to note the strange things uttered
By this marvel of the day.
The eccentric said this planet
Was true and goodly place, -tg
And the only thing it wanted
Was the more OF Heavens grace Atf~
And he sought to show the people
How to think and work and live,
so that eac.- should help the other 4f
And unto the needy give
ta1 rFee ~u Ea-t# HHa&
How the door that leads to Heaven
Was most amply broad and wide. aHAl
And how each could turn the handle
And go easily inside @@
That the very gentlest natures ~ilg
In the world may yet be strong
And now truth is always wisdom, a@%C4'
And all wickedness is wrong.
-aaf &0 aA44 34#tG .l APPS y ~@
He explained how true religion toHty 40
Was day-working, nothing more
chat this world was not an ocean, a5 {t
Nor we pebbles on the shore;
Should find better things to do r.-,
Than in twisting GCd's commandments
Or quite breaking them in two. gf. G. III IS
GAS for acting like our neighbors, T
Why, we none of US are tools
You cannot be made Christian
Under eyerybody's rules
Eyour neigkbor's not as good as
He or you would have him be, .-ar.sa
Just you go ahead and beat hl-a !"
Said this candid Parson Lee. ~ ntg.
Next, he told them how complaining
Was a poxious choking weed er uf
That the flowers scarcely blossOmed
Ere they Changed to homely seed b.
How that seed again sprang upward
And bore many fow'rets more @
And that life was ever fading . f,.
And renewing Ger and DER.
SO, this man, by honest talking,
Worked his wonders In the town; 5000
BHt he never cared tor praises,
And he laughed al high renown. y
Yet the people loved him dearly,
And they blessed God for the sight,
Till at last the Masser left them, s M
On a cold dark winter s night.
Thus he went, they knew not whittier
Have you ever net him, pray?
You wonId ELow him by his smiling,
And the sunshine on his way.
We have hunted DER Creation, &
Over land and over sea, ...... .
But no traces ca n discover
Of our missing Parson Lee. FL s

Oxaiic Acid W.. Congress water.

On yesterday Miss Mary Howard, who
resides on Washington street, made a grave
mistake in. partaking of oxalic acid instead
of Congress water, and from which very
serious consequences might easily have en-
sued. 1t appears that, as is usual ia such
cases, there were two bottles side by side on
the same shelf, one containing the desired
article and the other being partly filled with
oxalic acid, which, as is well -knowl., is
very poisonous and is used mostly for talk
ing out iron rust, etc. Miss Howard took
the wrong bottle, poured some of the acid
into a goblet, and swallowed it. 1t not
tasting like Congress water she Immediate
ly discovered her mistake and Il mustard
emetic was at once administered causing her
to vomit up the poison. DIR. Mead was
called who gave her the usual antidote,
magnesia, both of which caused relief and
she was pronounced out of danger by the
physician and others Of the profession, who
arrived soon after.

A light fall of snow came to us on Friday
and Saturday of about three inches and our
people are trying to use it to the best advan-
tage.
On Thursday evening Jan. Goth, some
thirty couples or more accepted of the
special invitation of S ii Livingstone to
meet at his residence in Tarbleville for n
social visit. Good music was furnished on
the occasion, and dancing was engaged in
by all that chose to enjoy themselves in
such recreation. A splendid supper was
served to the guests and the party dispersed
in the small wee hours of the morning, all
wishing that long lite and prosperity might
continue TO their friends the kind host and
hostess who had so literally entertained
them.
We learA with deep regret of the con.
tinued illness of Willie Mare of whom we
mentioned in our former communication of
cancer in the eye. The disease has assumed
n more malignant form for the past few
days, and the little fellows sufferings are

East WaIIingTOEd.

The Lyceum Society of this place held a
session IN last Saturday evening and dis
cussed the following resolution
Res0lced, That SANDER and misprepre-
scntation have caused more inharmony in
society than the drinking Of intoxicating
liquors
The resolution was well discussed by j
II Priest and Charles Parmiter in the af-
frmatiye, and A III Jackson and Henry
Priest in the negative. The question was
decided in the negative by the board on
weight Of argument. and in the affirmative
by the house on the merits of the question.
There is a paper connected with the Ly-
ceum that has all the local and personal
news,sthe latter often expressed in rather
too sarcastic a manner.
The mercury registered the coolest day
of the season on Monday morning, being
2So below zero.
There is a small amount of snow, and
Transfers are trying to make the most of it

The Accidon, al sherburnc.

In regard to the accident that befel Mr..
q. d. Estabrooks and his hired man, MIR.
N. Wheeler, on the 2Sth ult., we have
learned some additional facts from the par
ties concerned which will no doubt be of
interest. 1t appears that the two men
were at work cutting timber in the woods
on the premises of Mr.. Estabrooks on the
afternoon when the accident occurred, that
they were both engaged in Telling a large
spruce treU which stood on a side hli and
leaned toward the brook below. There were
two sapling birches standing beneath the
spruce and upon or between which the tree
must tall. In the top of one of the sap
lings was a small sapling that had become
lodged. Wheeler finished %chopping his
side Of the tree first and stepped behind
Mr.. EstabroOks who continued chOpping
until the tree broke. Mr.. Estabrooks then
stepped back and the spruce in its fall
struck the sapling, but instead of
forcing its way through it careened
partly over and slid back from the stump
catching Mr.. Estabrooks by the legs and
crushing him to the ground. The tree then
rolled over in its downward COURSE, sweryed
to the right and its trunk hit Wheeler,
knocking him down aud jamming him be-
meath it. When Mr.. Estabrooks had col
lected his senses sufficiently he looked fol
Wheeler and saw him partly wound arount
the butt of the tree, his face covered will
blood. In a moment Wheeler spoke ant
said ~ am killed! it has broke my back =
Mr.. Estabrooks supposed his W legs wer'
broken, but he commenced to carefully
pull himself together, every motion being
made with great pain. lie, however, pulled
himself along up the hill to Wheeler ant
succeeded in freeing him from under Thu
tree, but Wheeler could not stand up

It was called. So Mr.. Estabrooks finding
that one leg would do service, took his axe
In one hand and a lever in the other and
hobbled for home. 1t took him nearly an
hour to reach there when he aroused the
neighbors. They at once started for
Wheeler whom thew found badly chilled
from long exposure in the snow. They
took him on a hand sled and drew him to
the nearest house. DR.. G. w. Brigham of
Pittsield was timely at hand and rendered
all aid in his power. 1t was found that
Wheeler was badly bruised and jammed,
but no bones broken, while Mr.. Estabrook's
right leg was badly crushed and the small
Ter bone broken. Both men are doing
well and liable soon to recover.

Cough Is a symptom by which various dlseas-

1t arises from the Irritation produced in the
Throat and Larynx by taking cold, from an at
tack Of bronchitis, from i~nclpient consumption,

than DR.. Kendall's Pectoral Balsam. 1t does not

by removing the cause, subduing the irritation,

It's excellence and popularity. The Peabody
Medical Institute Is a case in point. Founded
In good faith many years ago, and the only es-
adjustment Of the kind in the country, its sue
cess and ever-lncreasing popularity finally
caused the name (Medlcal /, ~stltute) to be plra-

for this misuse OF the name OF a reputable and
well known curative establishment and legiti-
mate institution, which has been from the start
specially devoted to the treatment OF nervous
arrangements and Affections, from whatever
causes proceeding. During It's existence there
have been issued from 1t several medical publ
cations; quite recently Il work on Diseases OF
the Nervous system, which nave had almost a
worldwide circulation and popularity. These
publications sufficiently attest the high charac-
