The Stricken Poet.

Our Charles E. Hathaway, no
Hath way Of numbering rhyme,
Unsurpassed by the Heathep Chine0
OF the ancient or modern time,
This time It's the beautiful Lott,
The girl with the shining hiiF,
That down On his heart hath sOl
AS II on q stool OF patient chalk
As Sho Slts on his "myishol framO''
The drOs within grow hot,
And his in'arda are all RfanlO
With love for the beautiful Lott.
As moth In tho tallow dip burned, $50.
His heart Il athTOb with palm,
lie admits that he's slightly turned
With LottA and love on his brain. N

A mother, gentle and true,
Or 4 stern old sensible Dad,

Our souls would b iFee from tho dread
on Lingering on tho verge Of despair,
NOr sin In the Wish no were dead.

I SPELLING AND CnARrTY.-Thc INTEL
LEdENcER a few days ago suggested that
the ladies Of the Relief Association might
realize a handsome sum for charitable
purposes by getting up spelling school.
The fun Of seeing the prominent lawyers,
doctors, ministers, editors, ETC., Of a town
or city getting spelled down On the hard
words Of The lnnguage-and sometimes on
the easy Oncs-always attracts u great
crowd and Qxcites much interest and
amusement. A hall could DO engaged and
a "NYebster Unabridged" being offered as
prize for the champion speller, ten, III.
teen or twenty-five cents admission could
be charged for all who wished either to
contest or to witness the contest. We
warrant that the hall would DO well filled
II the entertainment were well advertised,
and the inequalities and barbariSm which
distinguish the photography Of the Eng.
llsh language above that Of any other,
would be made 10 minister out Of their
very evil to the sacred cause Of charity.

has passed the city lookup has been the
nightly resort Of scores Of these wander
era. From day to day Tie charities Of
the Soup House have been extended TO
larger and ever increasing numbers Of
these rowing paupers, and The cry Is
"still they come" Acting on the nOtii-
cation Of tie Health Officer, the Mayor
has requested the officers Of the Relief
Association to cease providing for the
class known as tramps. lie has also mo-
titled the lookup keeper that such parties
can no longer find sleepiug quarters in
that Institution. The Mayor has also
notified the police officers that the city
must 10 rid OF the presence Of tramps at
once; and having made an Arrangement
with the Bridge Company, oil who desire
TO leave the city by that route can do so,
but all must leave by some limo Of egress
from the city. Hereafter, then, the ef-
forts Of the Soup House people will be
confined to relieving the wants Of the
poor who belong to the city.

GEN. HAwLEY was elected to the
Forty-third Congress from the First
Connecticut district, receiving II, ,04s
votes against 10, ,766 votes for S. P. Ken
dali, the Democratic nominee. In the
campaign which just closed, he receiv-
ed 1874, while Landers (Dem.) re-
ceived l3, 433, and Lyons (Prohibition)
226. It will be seen that Hawley's
gain over his last vote was S96. Rep
resentative StErkweather received ;.
754 votes and was elected to the For
ty-third Congress against 5000 votes
for Bill, (Dem.), ami 769 for Palmer
(Probitionists). Last week he was
reelected, receiving S,9Ol against s.
05l for Foster, LIB. Rep. Dem.), aud
AS for Palmer (ProhibitfonisD. His
gain, it will be seen, was l, ,147. 1t will
be remembered that Mr.. Starkweath-
er, who made the greatest gain, voted
for the bill to Protect Electors, other
wise known as the Force Bill, while
Gen. Hawley, who made the least gain,
voted against it. These figures speak
palmer than words. Mr.. Starkweath-
er's canvass was made on the bold and
fearless policy of uphOlding the action
Of the majority of the Republican
members Of the last House, while Gen.
Hawley admitted thata necessity ex-
lists for the legislation proposed by that
action, and at that time was compell-
ed to make the. further admission that
he did not vote for it.

BRIDGEPORT has Saw and Planning
Mill combined that has as great if moi
better facilities than any other like es
Establishment in Eastern Ohio. We re.
fer to that owned by Messrs. Ferguson
d Mead. They have an immense
amount Of dry lumber, of all kinds, on
hand; stock that it would be impOssi-
bic to find duplicated within many
miles. Besides lumber of all kinds in
the rough, they have on hands and are
prepared to furnish any and all descrip.
tions of planed and dressed lumber, of
hard woods, and pine, poplar, ash, wal
nut, cherry, etc. Having saw mill in
connection with the planning mill-they
are not only enabled thereby to furnish
lumber cheaper, but they can also fur
rish bridge timbers, or any description
of timber.
They have also full supply of floor.
ing, siding, brackets, cornices, etc.
Stair building they make speciality,
and are therefore well prepared for such
work.
Iu this connection it is not amiss to
mention that one of the partners of the
firm resides up the Allegheny river,
where they have another saw mill, and
own several hundreds of acres of the
finest timber lands in that region. This
enables them to keep on hand constant
ly a supply of splendid logs, and to fur
nish lumber and material at less rates
than other firms less fortunate can do.
To prove that the firm is successful.
it is but necessary to mention that the
mill in Bridgeport ran all winter and on
full time, something that scarcely any
Dtner manufactory did. 1t.

THERE is no middle ground between

THERE is no middle ground between
Mr.. Beecher and his accusers. His tes
tiinony on the vital points at issue in
the great Brooklyn trial is in direct
contradiction of everything his enc.
mics have said sgainst him. Either
he is the most stupendous liar the
worlfever produced, OR the MOnltons
and Tilton are the most infamous
wretches that the human imagination
can conceive. 1t is noticeable, how ev-
er, that Mr.. Beecher's testimony thus
far is consistent and straightforward,
while that of Mrs. Moulton and Til
ton has been cont. addicted BY other
Witnesses than Beecher himself. Mr..
Moulton's statements, it is true, have
not been shaken seriously; tut Mr..
Beecher's explanations will serve to
clear away some of the doubts to which
they gave rise. The truth is that this
trial has placed the public in an awk-.
ward position. The two sides are so
forcibly put that the one which is
printed last, like the man who told the
last lie in the lying match, has the ad-
vantage.
