Whcrcupon Mrs Van Hayden REMARKED
that some pcoplc hadn't any ear tor music.
Their taste was SO deficient that they couluh

Miss Lettie and Jennie, all of which Mrs
Vasderpoo passed in contemptuouS ana III,

The party broke up with the remark from
Mrs. Vandcrpool, that she'd had a quite a

Stephentown person had to go to every
thing, no matter who got 1t up. To when
Mrs. Van HAYDEN made the pleasant reply,
that she wasn't just suited with the socieV OF
the place one had to invite everybody no

The Van Haydens felt that the VanderpOolS
had carried the day, for Mr.. Selby accom-

caught kissing her; and putting this and hat
together it looked as if Miss Maria had got
the gentleman pretty nearly caught.
But they were delighted to learn, few

caught kissing Maria Nandcrpool, as one OF
the most important epochs of their career IN
Siephentown society.

There is a land Of every land the pride,
Beloved by heaven DER all the world beside;
Where brighter suns dispense sercner light,
And mder moons emparadise the night;
4 land OF beauty, virtue, valor, truth,
Time.tutored age, and loye-eIated youth.
The wandering mariner, whose eye explores
The wealthicst isles, the most enchanting shores,
Views not realm SO bountful and fair,
Nor breathes the spirit Of purer air;
In every cline the magnet OF his soul,
Touched by remembrance, trcmbles to that pole
For in this land Of heavens peculiar grace,
The heritage OF natures noblest race,
There is spot OF earth supremacy blest,
A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest,
Where man, Creations iyrant, casts aside
Its sword and scepter, pageantry and pride,
While In his eoitched looks benignly blend
The sire, the son, the husband brother, friend.
Here woman regns; the mother, daughter wife
Strewn with fresh flowers the narrow way Of life
In the clear heaven Of her delightful eye,
An angel guard Of loves and graces lie;
Around her knees domestic duties meet,
And iireside pleasures gambol at her feet.

Hear the holy Sabbath bells
Christian bells!
NINA, world of consolation in their utlcrances
dwells!
They commemorate the Day
When "the stone was rolled away
From the Sepulchre," where lay
Tho Lord of Glory-slain for sin not His own.
There He burst the bonds OF Death
With Omnipotencc's breath,
And majestcally rose,
Triumphant DER His foes,

Where He maketh iptercesslon
For our manifold transgression,

one repair
To the sanctuary, where
We may offer praise and prayer;
Their revcrberating echoes, through the circum

Are rolling, rolling. rolling,
They are calling, calling, calling,
In tones that are consollng,
And in tones that are appalling
To believers, consolation;
To the scorners, condemnation,
Evermore!
Still the bells are tolling, tolling
Over vale and plain and mountain,
Calling all men to the Fountain
Whence life and Joy and peace are lowing ever
more.
Evermore!
Now their tones grow louder, deeper,
They might wake the dullest sleeper
On this peaceful Sabbath morning
With their word of solemn warning

Their pOndcrous tongues reiterate, monoton

Till the ending Of the hour ends the chime.

Whose cadences fantastcally rhyme

ANOTHER VICTIM.
BY PELEG ARKWRIGHT.

BY PELEG ARKwRIGHT.
It's hard! might have known it.
1t seems to be the rule,
Where women hold the ribbons,
For men to play the fool.
There must have been some contract,
Delivered, sealed, and signed,
To give the power to females
To cruelty mankind.
They're disappointing insects;
They don't know what they want.
They'll sack an honest fellow
And take up with runt.
But though man may know IL
To be crazy start,
He always goes for chances
To lose his head and heart.
And what's the worst of all is,
The most deceiving kind
Are best rugged out by nature
To craze fellows mind;
The sort witrmilk.punch voices,
Bewildcring hair and eyes,
With frills and airs and graces,
And softly spoken lies.
Because I'm but Llasterer,
And my hands perhaps are queer;
And il in choosing ncckties
My taste is not severe
And II amt as stylish
As an elegant French Turk,
And don't pretend to quality
And amt above my work;
And il my hair is auburn,
or a slightly sorrel tint,
And If one eye is dubious
With tendency to squint--
is it anything against me
From moral point Of view:
Does ii argue that wouldn't
Make husband fond and true:
And loved her so, my beauty!
Oh, my darling! my delight!
She was sweetcr than rose bud,
She was frescoed pink and white.
And she said she loved me dearly,
But she shook me all the same
For chap whose hair was parted
In the middleton, the shame
So I'm like a craven image,
Sand papered by despair;
stump around disappearing,
With plaster in my hair.
And my heart Is like b0ne-yard,
With remains a.lying round;
And wish that some kind person
Would Just put Inc under ground.

FOUND DROWNED.

But no Clue to the Name of the Unfortun-
ate yet Discovered.
Pursuant to the telegram received Satur-
day evening from Adjutant Baird at Fort
Leavenworth, to the effect that fioater had
been found in the river, Coroner Brown re-
paired TO the Fort Sunday morning to exam
inc the body, but found that it had been
buried near the waters edge without a cof-
fin by partyof soldiers The Coroner, find
ing that all the evidence he could have
found, had been produced by those who had
inferred the body, empanneled them as a
jury and discovered that the body found,
was that Of a white man apparently about
So years Of age, who had evidently been
drowned, and had been in the water ten or
fifteen days. His height was Judged to be
about five feet eight inches. His hair,
which was dark, was cut short and inclined
to be curly. He was dressed in an old
black coat, greyish pants and cloth
CATERS. Nothing was found on his
person that could lead to his
Identification, except a memorandum book,
issued for advertising purposes, by the
Deere Manufacturing Company, Of Moline,
Ills, but as nothing was write in the
blank space in the book, except a few tally
marks, the clue is not of much use. An
ambrotype, however, of the bust of a wo.
man, apparently about 22 years of age,
which was in the book, might possibly be
recognized at some time, and lead to the
discovery of the name of the deceased The
original of the picture seemed TO have been
of medium stature, light complexion, hair
inclined to curl and worn loosely about her
eyes, dark or grey. She had
worn, at the time OF sitting for the picture,
large pendants in her ears, and had small
round plain chain about her neck was
dressed in large plaid dress, which was
plated about the neck. About her shoul-
ders, was pinned, with a large brooch, an
embroidered kerchief, which was edged
with dark bar border; on the first finger
Of her right hand, was plain band ring,
and on the third finger, a gentlemans large
seal ring. The picture is in the possession
of the coroner, who will confer with any
one who may wish 10 identity the body OF
the drowned man. J. c. ODOnnell was IN
structed to disenter the body, and give it
decent burial, which he did this morning.

FROM WINCHESTER.

JUNE q, 1876.
EDITOR TIMES: 1t has been some time
since / sent you any items from here. Since
my last We have been blest with exceeding
ly fine weather. Plenty of rain. Some of
the farmers thought at one time too much
for the wheat, but all are now convinced
that in connection with the cool weather,
it was a great benefit, and has made more
bushels and of much better quality than
there would have been had it remained
dry, which should convince us that the
Great RULER of the universe, understand,
what is best in such matters.
Farmers are busy cutting their wheat.
Most Of it will be in shock before the end of
the week. All agree that it is the finest
crop ever grown in the county. Oats, corn,
millet, hungarian, DC, are promising a
magnificent yield. Never looked better at
this time OF the season
Business of all kinds is looking up. Our
merchants are selling large quantities Of
goods.
The nomination of Hayes and Wheeler
meets the approval Of the Republicans OF
this part of the State. The ticket is con-
sidered strong one by all classes and most
OF the Liberals i'll support it.
Winchester Will not celebrate the Fourth
this year, but the most of our citizens will
will help to swell the crowds at other
points-principally at Oskaloosa and Val
ley Falls.
The general health still continues good.
The NJ. DE- have plenty OF time to play
croquet and go fishing.
The citizens of Winchester and vicinity
are making arrangements for q grand ex-
cursion and picnic to the Fort, on July LIST.
They have chartsred a train for the occa-
sion, which will leave here .: $50 A. NJ.
and return the same evening. Gen. Pope
has kindly granted us the use Of the grove
at the Fort for the purpose, and We expect
grand good time and extend a cordial in
vi,ation to the citizens of Leavenworth to
come out and join Us, and assist us to enjoy
ourselves.
J. ". Carson is selling large quantities
of farming implements, which is evidence
that the farmers still have faith in Kansas
ID. j. Greist is kept busy almost every
day selling lumber, most of the purchasers
being farmers, who are putting up new
buildings and new fences, and appear 10
