coe. Day.-Mr. A. b. Blackwell, faith
full observer of the signs Of the times, especi-
ally "Coon Day." took the pains to inform us
that on account of the cloudy weather on the
gath of Feb, the old coon failed to see his
shadow, and therefore abandoned his winter
quarters, and that now we may look for soft
Spring breezes, assuring us that winter was
over.
We looked as well as we could last Monday,
but could hardly see for the pelting storm
that filled our eyes, and now conclude that
Gus's old coon, like some of our oldest inhabi-
tants, are entirely out of their reckoning this
winter.

VERY SUsPfcIoUs.-On Friday evening
last stranger drove into Centrcville and put
up at Van Fleets Hotel for the night. He
said he had driven from New York that day
and that he meant 10 drive to Lambeytville
next morning and take the train for Balti-
more as he must be there by Saturday night.
The horse looked like valuable one, but
gave unmistakable evidence of having been
overdriven. Before morning the animal died
but the stranger said that his business would
admit of no delay, and engaged Mr.. Van
Fleet 10 bring him to Pennington to meet the
7.o5 train for Philadelphia, which was accom-
plished. On the way over, the man who gave
his name as Joseph B. Winans, and his bust
ness as paper manufacturer, offered to sell
Mr.. Van Fleet the harness and wagon which
were necessarily left behind, for ten dollars,
but the liberal offer was declined, as Mr.. V.
began to think that there was something sus-
picious about the affair. However, the horse
is dead and the man is gone, and whether he
had stolen the rig to make hasty retreat
from neighborhood which had become toe
hot for him or not we do not know, but it Ger.
tainly looks that way.-Democrat.

Pomto in grig.--Owlng to little misunder-
standing, our friend Mr.. Ponto has been
brought to grief. His faithful boy Joe, whom
he had learned to love as one of his family,
through little misunderstanding between
them, left his bed and board and scattered
himself to the fourwinds of heaven, perhaps
never to return, which causes Mr.. "P." and
the old mules much grief, particularly the
mules, who had learned to love and respect
their young master and to obey his command,
even at great distance.
While passing their stable the other day,
we were scarcely moved to tears by hearing
their piteous calls for Joe in the simplicity of
their hearts, not dreaming Of the terrible ca
lamity that had befallen them.
But Joe's voice will greet their ears
To encourage them qell their fears;
Joes gone forever out of their sight,
And left the poor mules in terrible plight,
TO grieve their loss and pine away,
And call for JOE and OATS and HAY

The Presidents Opportunities.

We reprint this morning the action of other
republican State Conventions than the one
recently held at Lancaster, at which resolu-
tons were passed deprecating the third Pres
idential term. These resolutions show that
President Grant might have found at almost
any time during the last year the opportunity
Of which he availed himself when the Lam
caster declaration was adopted. The Penn
sylvania republicans in State Convention last
year expressly recommended Governor Hart.
Tanft for the Presidency in 1876, to show that
the party in that State was opposed to the
third term, and Mr.. Dickey, in moving the
adoption of the platform, declared this to.be
the purpose OF the Hartfranft resolution. A
week later the Republican State Convention
Of Kansas, acting under the immediate inspi-
ration of the Pennsylvania movement, passed
q resolution almost in the language en-
ployed by Mr.. Dickey, in which it was
declared that the example set by Wash
ington in refusing third term ought to have
all the force of constitutional enactment.
Surely here was sufficient opportunity for
General Grant mad he chosen to avail himself
Of it. and few weeks later, when the Repub-
lican State Convention Of South Carolina
adopted platform indorsing the third term
idea, it became his duty to speak. None Of
these things moved our impassive Chief Mag
istrate to utter word or the subject, and the
subsequent action Of the New Hampshire re
publcans only induced their brethren in Con-
necticut acting under administration inAu-
ences, to ignore the whole question 1t was
not until the decided course Of the Pennsyl-
vania republicans began TO be felt by the party
that the President was induced to define his
position in regard to another reelection, and
1t is to be regretted that he did not avail him
self Of one Of his previous opportunities to
say as much or more than be now says

Tho Jerome Park Races.

The spring meeting of the American Jockey
Club at Jerome Park begins to-day, and an
unusually brilliant season is expected. This
meeting always has an interest peculiarly its
own, because it is the first really important
event Of the year, and comes at the time when
the opening summer is in itself a blandish-
ment to entice the vinter-weary denizens of
the city to the enjoyment Of outdoor sports
The change which has been made in the re-
duction Of the length Of the season and tho
increase in the number Of racing days is one
which viii be hailed with pleasure by the
community. Under tho old rule too many
DAYS interviewed between the races to keep up
the interest of the meeting, and the race days
were not sufficient in number for the length
ofthe season. Three racing days in the week
are much better than two, and meeting of
two weeks duration with seven racing DAYS
will be found much more enjoyable than the
spun out seasons Of other years. The peculiar
position held by Jerome Park with regard to
the other meetings Of tho year IS one of the
reasons why the opening events at this favor
tie resort should follow each other in rapid
succession. This meeting is the appetizer for
Long Branch and Saratoga, and II extended
beyond the middle Of the month cannot be
enjoyed BY the people Of fashion who will be
on the move by that time for the seaside and
mountain resorts. The success Of the meeting
depends as much upon the brilliancy of tho
atten lance as upon tho excellence of the
racing, and in both these respects the coming
season promises to be one Of unusual splen-
dor. Many entries have been made for the
different events, and there cannot fail to be
one or two races Of great interest every day
throughout the meeting. Then the atmos-
phero is 50 balmy and tho drive through the
Park and over the road beyond SO great a
relief from the pent-up life of the town that
nothing could be more welcome in these June
days than tic enjoyment which will be af-
forded by an afternoon at the races.
The commencement Of the races to-day
gives very agreeable promise o. the general
character OK the meeting The events are in
teresting both in the diversity Of interest as
far As the numerous competitors are concerned
and the many representatives Of 'rapid tram
Sit entered. Over two hundred horses are
now stabbed at Jerome Park and many South
crn and Western stables, which have never
before been represented, win be entered on
this occasion. Tho American Jockey Club
expect that this meeting will be the most
brilliant and most interesting in their annals.
When responsibility and liberality combine in
the sports Of the turf 10 attract the public
there Can be only one result, success.

the England painted by some extreme
representatives of the Fsnian interests. It
will be better for both countries when
those who conduct their newspapers are
fair aud just TO each other. Nothing
could be in better temper than the
spirit which animates the discussions of the
current Centennial events We have yet to
hear ore angry word about England-one
effort to revive the sad dark spirit which once
lowered over the relations between the two
countries. We have had wars enough Of our
own since then, animosities enough Of our
own and Of others to forget and to forgive
not to cherish any memories of the Revolu-
ton but those which celebrate the fortitude
with which brave men struggled for indie
their master and king the brightest jewel IN
his crown. Mr.. Gladstone in his noble and
magnanimous letter to the Lexington COM
nittee, which, by the way, brought upon him
the censure Of these very critics, on the
ground that he had toadied to America, gave
an admirable expression to this sentiment. 1t
is better for the two countries that there
snoulu De pouucai separation. England Will
never enforce the loyalty of her colonies BY
the sword. AS we are so much better by our
political separation SO we should be more
anxious to cultivate every other form Of
union-union in commerce, education, laws,
religion, in developing civilization, in sup
pressing all influences that menace civiliza-
ton like piracy, slavery, and in time we trust
war, in missionary enterprises, in free trade.
This union will come more readily by culti-
waiting justice and fair play toward each other,
and by stamping out that spirit of envy, dis
paragement, disdain and contumely which on
50 many occasions has poisoned the peace of
nations and which, in its own time may even
SOW discord between nations as closely allied
as America and England.

A MAINE CENTENNIAL Our correspondent
at Machias, Me-, gives an attractive mar
rative Of the event upon which the
people Of that part Of the world intend
to hang centennial celebration OF their
own in o few days. Our glorious naval
combats Of the second war with England
have SO nearly overshadowed all other naval
events in our history that the only sea battle
Of the Revolution commonly remembered by
the people is Paul Jones desperate combat in
the Bon Homme Richard. In the blaze Of
such names as the Constitution the United
States, the Essex, the Hornet, the names Of
the lighter craft that constituted our infant
navy are lost to the nation at large But the
neighborhoods which supplied the resolute
spirits that manned the cutters and sloops
and schooners, upon which our daring fisher
men FIRST faced the naval power Of the mother
country, cherish the traditions Of local glory
and are prepared to do honor to the whole
series of events, none OF which can be con-
sidered insignificant in view of the great
result, and in this spirit Maine viii honor the
capture Of the Margaretta and Rhode Island
the capture o. the Gaspde.
