CHOOSING A NAME.
CHARLES LAMB.

Ihave got newborn sister
was nigh the tlrst that kissed her,
When the nursing woman brought her
To Papa, his infant daughter,
How Papa's dear eyes did glisten
She viii shortly be to christen
And Papa has made the ofIer
shall have the naming OF her.
Now wonder what would please her,
Charlotte, Julia or Louisa.
Ann and Mary, they're too common;
Joan's too formal for woman;
James prettier name beside;
But we had Jane that died,
They would say, II twas Rebecca,
That she was little Quaker.
Edlth's pretty, but that looks
Better in old English books.
Ellen's left on long ago;
Blanche Is out OF fashion now.
None that have named as yet
Are 80 good as Margaret.
Emily is neat and flne.
What do you think OF Caroline?
How I'm puzzled and perplext
What TO cnoose or think OF next!
am in little fever.
Lest the name that shall give her
Should disgrace her or defame her,
Will leave papa TO name her.

Thomaston.

On Sunday, June Sd, this community was shocked by the announcement that Mir. Henry Brooks had committed sui eide. Mir. Brooks was an old and respect. cd citizen of this town, and one of the foremen of the clock shop. He had not been feeling we'll for some time. although able to attend to his duties. He did not go to church, contrary to his usual cus- tom. His wife, returning from church at l. p. m.. noticed that some lunch which had beel left for him in the house. was untouched and went in search of him to the barn at the back of the house. On the floor of the barn she saw his glasses, hat and bible, also letter from his brother, advising him to take a rest from work. On going up stairs, she was mortified, at the sight of her husband hanging dead He was im- mediately cut down, but life was extinct. A note was found with his bible, which indicated that. he was not in his right mind. An inquest was held, and the yer dict was rendered that the deceased came to his death by hanging while temporari. ly insane. He was about 55 years old and an active member of the Congrega- tional thu -ch and Sabbath School. He was buried on Tuesday of last week. and his bereaved family have the sympathy of the community.
 John Zundel, organist of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn. gave an organ concert and lecture here on Tuesday and Wednes- day evenings. All who were present were pleased.
 There was Union Temperance meet ing in the M. E. Church on Sunday, June 10th, at which Mir. A. P. Bradstreet, Dr. Wright and others spoke.
 At KENT on Wednesday of last week, MT. Wm. Stuart's blacksmith shop was discovered to be on fire, but was saved. This with the burning of Mir. Eaton's barn so recently, makes people afraid. oi "fre-bugs "--One flanagan has been fined $16 and costs for an assault on Mir. Wat. rous.

been defeated by the Russians. The
victors claim that Mukhtars army was
cut off and that his loss in guns, muni-

patches from Constantinople, however,
state that the story OF the tight has not

OUR Representatives 60 to Columbus
this winter charged with very impor-

States Senator, which politically con-
sidered is the most important matter
with which they have to deal, is in re-
ality the least Of their duties. The leg
islation for the city of Cincinnati is the
matter that demands the careful con-
sideration OF every member. Partly
through dishonesty but mainly through
iucompetency the affairs of the city
have reached a most fearful condition.
There must be legislation of some kind
to relieve the present embarrass-

the city government, and it is all
important that this legislation be
OF such a character as not to open the
doors for further plunder and blunder
