STREW FLOWERS.

The May-time IN beauty
Has swept DER the earth,
And flowers on the hillside are springing
And over fair meadows,
As in forests green,
Tie birds are everywhere singing.
As the spring brings delights,
Us to gladden. anew,
Let Us join in holy ovation,
That sweet peace through the land
Gives her rest to the heart.
And strengthens the hope Of the nation.
And amid all our joys
At her every return,
Well remember the brave of the battle;
Yes, the loved who went forth,
The bold patriot boys,
To die mid the strife's fearful rattle,
There are father and son,
There are husband and friend,
And many mess-mate and brother,
Asleep meath the sod
Or the low tufted mound
In maiden heart, many lover.
Yes, they fell on the field,
Or they died in the camp,
And IN prison-penS, starved by strangers
But their off'ring was made
So our freedom was saved,
And the war passed away with its dangers.
In the East and the West,
In the North and the South,
Then let US bring flowers to the altar,
And there streW them above
Our most hallowed dead,
Who in duty knew never falter
Yes, let us strew flowers
Over father and son,
Over mess-mate, husband and brother,
And then pray that no act,
Bringing discord and strife,
Shall e'er cause the death of another.

COUNTY NEWS
FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENTS.
OR ELL.

Some of the quid nuncs of Orwell, while
gathered at one of the corner stores, with
nothing to talk about, conceived the idea
of counting up the number of the solid cit
izens Of the township-those who brought
down the beam at 200 and oYer-snd max
ing formal list and inventory of their
live weight. The suggestion took, and was
gone into with considerable display of good
nature. The following is the catalogue
thus prepared. 1t was shown us the other
day while waiting for the train, and a copy
furnished for publication. The list is long
enough to form quite an association-such
as are found in some other places we wot
of-under the title of The Fat People of
Orwell. We have in our mind regularly
organized society in our old town of Nor
walk, Ct. of greater than township juris-
diction. which hold a regular annual meet
ing on the shores of the Sound, during the
pleasant weather of August, and enjoy a
clam-bake and jolly time, generally.
The President of the society, we believe,
weighs something over 400; but here is the
Orwell list.

II you doubt the wonderful success of
SHILoH's CONSUMPTION CURE, ask those who
have used it what they think of it, or 90 to
your druggist and get a bottle, aud give it
a thorough trial. Then, if you are not
perfectly satisfied after using two thirds,
return the bottle to your druggist and he
is authorized to give you the price paid.
Is not this fair proposition? For Con-
sumption, Coughs, Hoarseness, Asthma,
Whooping Cough or any Throat or Lung
trouble, it never fails, If it does it will cost
you nothing. Upon this assertion it must
stand or fail. Call at our Drug Store and

made matter of accommodation, and Judge

rangement, probably found the house barely
remunerative. The favorable acquaintance of
so many Of our citizens with Mr. colfax rails
ed some interest to hear the lecture and the
lecturer. Correspondence 10 some extent was
carried on more than year ago. The sub
ject matter has been so frequently alluded
to, and its general character SO well under
stood, that critical notice of it is hardly ex-
Pected. Its effect here was the same as else
where. As literary effort, in style of cum
position and Of delivery, the audience felt 1t
to be rich treat. AS portraiture of the
character Of our murdered President-Of his
gentleness of heart, his absence of all pre-
tense or assumption, his sagacity and almost
intuitive knowledge Of men, his patriotism
and craftsmanship, his discipline of mind.
and his ability to TO meet and master emer-
gencies and men, and his wit and humor,
were all graphically drawn and brought out
with effect. Those who failed to hear it were

following evening exhibitions were given,
the proceeds to be applied toward repairs
