Lines.

We publish the following, by request
of the author:
Death has crossed our peaceful thrcsh-
hold.
Knocking loudly ut our door;
And his heart, SO cold and quiet,
Can beat with ours no more.
Yes, we miss our Willie, oh, how much
None but God alone can tell.
He took him from our loving arms,
To dwell with Him above.
We saw, beneath the coffin lid,
His form so cold and still;
TWAS all enshrouded for the tomb
We, with pOwerless will.
His eyes, SO bright and full of love,
But little while ago,
Now rest, alas! bereft of light,
Beneath their lids of snow.
His vacant chair, ut close of day,
And all that was his here,
Reminds US of our one sweet child,
That we ever held 80 dear.
Yet, when we feel that i'm his life
He knew SO much of pain,
We cannot wish our darling son
Back i'm this world again.
And his sisters, when they shall mcct
Will weep and sigh for him;
Saying, "Dcar parents, can it be,
Brother, we may not sec:"
Yes, We'll meet him, DER the River,
Where crowns outshinc the sun;
There we'll join in praises ever,
OF Christ, the goodly one.

Ellsworth Township,

EDITOR SrAR:-We. would once more
drop line from Ellsworth.
Farmers are progressing slowly, ow-
ing to the cold weather, I'm this vicinity.
Some have sowed oats, but they get no
word from them, as yet. Others are
just closing up sugar making, which
has been rather slow this Spring. But
the present indications are that warm
weather Is nigh ut hand, and the forest
will soon blossom us the rose.
Wheat is looking very good. 1t seems
to have been hurt but little, or none, by
the severity of the Winter. Ellsworth
will be a profitable place for thresh-
ing machine, next Fall. There will,
also, be an unusually large amount of
corn planted, this Summer, for this
place.
Some little building Is being done,
too. Il. s. Langridge has been build
ing q frame house OH his farm. Eugene
Nichason is building house, while A..
Woodruff is building an addition to his
dwelling. GLOBE.

DROwNED.-Our Yates township cor
respondent sends us the following par
ticulars of u sad accident. The COM
munication was received too late for
publication last week: It seems that
OH the afternoon of the 9Th inst, Mrs.
Harry Sawyer, living ut Crooked Lake
left her house for the purpose Of max
ing call mt one of her neighbors; leav-
ing two children, one about four and
tho other little more than year old.
While at the neighbours, she happened
to look towards home, and observed
the older of the children out of doors.
Suspccting something wrong, she hur-
ricd back, when she made terrible
discovery of the lifeless form of the
babe I'm the lake. It is supposed the
children were playing In boat tied to
the shore, when the little one fell In
the water.

EARNED WITH CLUBS, STONES" &c.
We hear it stated that they have
collection of stones and clubs, I'm the
"court house" at Chase, claiming them
as specimens ofweapons of war brought
there from Baldwin, on the memorable
Friday, and left, after having been used
on the heads of the Chaseites. We
don't see anything to hinder them from
making the story plausible, unless 1t he
the facts that iron-wOod clubs arc not u
product of the plains; nor can ono often
find stones larger than robins eggs.
There must be mistake somewhere.
Weren't those stones part of the sup
ply gathered by the Chase mob pre-
vious To the battle, and then not used,
by reason of the Chaseites being put to
flight too soon, by the Baldwinites?

[From the Evening Telegram Of yesterday. ]
LONDON, Oct. 80, 1875.
A Telegram from Madeira dated October
80, 10:45 A. NJ, states that part Of the crew
of the American ship John Pascal, Captain
Tapley, which sailed from Calcutta July 10
for New York, had landed at Ascension.
THE SHIP TOTAL LOSS.
They report that the ship took fire at sea
and was totally destroyed, and that the crew
were saved by taking to the boats
SIGHT or THE CREW TO BE ARRESTED
Eight of the crew are on board the steamer
African, and the Madeira authorities have
telegraphed to arrest them on their arrival in
England, their testimony being unsatisfac-
tory. There are suspicious that this is the
work of an incendiary.
