A New York dispatch says That poem
of Tilton's, with the French refrain, read
by Mr.. Evarts, has excited some fun and
more comments. One reporter in Brooklyn
had hard time in mastering the French
line, "Aimer, aimer, c'est a vivrc." The
reporter understood that the poem was u
tribute to "Aimce," of opera bouffe fame,
and he rendered it after this fashion
"Aimee, Aimee, saint of eve" The re-
porter's engagement with his paper, ter
minated that night.

Hearing of the misfortune of worthy

The Vermont citizen says. The ma
jority of the people who live in the little
village two miles below Stowe Centre,
which is now called Moscow, propose TO
to have the name changed as soon as prac-
ticable to that of Smiths Falls The rca-
son for not wanting it Moscow is because
they are in no way entitled to it, They
never had n bell OF any kind, and never
since the town was settled has there been
l,i Of Il
500; nor have they ever winterel an
army there so then, where is the claim
for Moscow None The claims for Smiths
Falls are these Thrty-nine years ago l..
B. u =. Smith bought the falls and
mills, which have remained in their hands
ever since, and since that every other fam
lily have changed, and others taken their
places. There are at present four Smith
families and fair prospect of being one or
two more soon, 81 they kindly ask every
one hereafter to recognize their place as
Smiths Falls.
The story of the family of Richard Dan
iels of Lyme, whose children were SO froz.
en-. last week, after fleeing from the house,
which had taken fire, is more terrible than
was at first reported. The father, it seems,
is most brutal fellow and the reason why
the children did not call on the neighbors
for help was because he had pronounced
the most terrible threats against them if
they ever called for assistance from the
neighbors. He made these threats anew
when he came home on Saturday night
and found that they had been forced to beg
He had even whipped them for taking food
from the neighbors. The girl, 10 years
old, found dead and naked, had had che
mise on when she left the house, but it had
been torn off by the others to keep them
warm. The boy found on Mr.. Coults
steps had been there from midnight till Z
in the morning, with nothing on but shirt
and pants. The most terrible part of the
story is that in the arms of one of the girls
saved was her child, 12 months old, and the
girls father proves TO be also its father
Daniels has cleared out but the officers are
after him.
