A SWING in the 'OId Elm Tree.

A SWING in tile Old ELM Tree.
Oh FOR swing in The old elm tree
And breath from the clover fields
I'd give the state of palace hall
And the spiees that India xields.
To zee again in the Old-time way
The meadows and pastures knew,
The hills and the valleys, the rocks and the
trees.
And the woods where the Wild flowers grew;
Tolie once more in the thick, soft grass
With tho sweet winds rushing by,
The world outside and heart a, peace,
And above the summer sky;
To watch the clouds in their shifting lights
And the misis on the distant hills,
And dream to the music Of rustlirg leaves
And the voices of iancing rills
To wade once more in the cooling stream
That wound by the roadside below,
Where the laurel bloomed, and the eglantine
And the maiden-hair used to grow;
To kneel again in the little church
Where prayed with q childish trust,
Ere the haunting doubts of latter time
Had touched il with moth and rust
To sleep once more meath the grown
roof
Ny spirit would find again
The lOug-lOst chord Of that happy time
And take up the glad refrsin,
Ny heart grows sick and my eyes are dim
For sight of familiar things
The grassy nook snd the old elm tree
Would be mora than the throne Of kings.
All me .;'how the years have stretcd between!
What chances snd changes they've
wrought
VIVA gains and what losses, what hopes
and what fears,
How little Of promise they've brought

Bro. BuRDIcK, of the Postville Re
vie,c, is disposed to attach blame to the
post Office in this city on account Of not
receiving his mails regularly during the
recent break on the B., c. R. 4 N. r. R.
1t may console him to know that the
mails for Postville during the greater
portion Of the time that the railroad
was out of repair, were not sent north,
but east, to reach the most available
route to that place. For two or three
days before the break was actually re-
paired, word would come to the post Of
fee here from the railway clerks, that
the trains would go through ''to-mor-
row." but when tomorrow came, there
was further delay BY this means, two
or three days mails accumulated at
this Office, which but for the expecta-
ton that they would reach Postville
earlier by the regular route, would have
been sent eastward also.

That puts us in mind of the story

by Judge Murdoch. Hasner undoubt-

off his-mind. He has been rehearsing
it, or something similar, for the past
month, and for our part we feel truly
grateful that he has consented to place
the figures at 14O0 Hasner is an ora

THE FOURTH.
How We Observed the Day.

The celebration Of the 1O2nd anniver-
sary Of our National independence
passed off in this city, yesterday, sue
cessfully, barring few such unavoid-
ables as dust. heat and few fights, ac-
cidents, &c. The attendance of military
was not as large as was anticipated, but
the companies here gave good exhibi-
tions Of their efficiency in the drill, and
we think the crowd was satisfied with
it. The Guards of this city was the on
ly company competing for the infantry
prizes, and they were awarded the first
premium, $50 The Jesup Guards were
here but would not drill, notwithstand-
ing, being the only company present be-
sides Co. H., they were insured the Sec
ond prize. Two cavalry companies were
present, one of this city, and the other
from Rowley. The first prize, $50, was
awarded to Capt. Holman's company
No other prize was offered for this drill,
but the Rowley company, for the excel
lent manner in which they performed
the maneuvres, was awarded the second
prize offered to infantry Companies, $780,
There being but one Steamer and one
hand engine entered for trial, each was
awarded $50. At the conclusion of the
military drilling came the athletic
sports and races. The first was a foot
nee, best two in three, for purse of
S.. This race was won by young man
in three heats. The next was wheel
barrow race, single dash, for purse of
s.. Considerable sport was extracted
by the crowd from this race, the COM
petitors being blindfolded One fellow
ran into the crowd and frightened a
team so that they ran away, throwing
the occupants out upon the ground and
smashing the vehicle-a light. Democrat
wagon-all to pieces. This also fright
ened another team so that they perform
ed exactly the same feat. Nobody was
hurt, however, and the sport went on.
The next was sack race for purse of
S., and then followed the last race,
which was for the pig. 1t was caught
before it had made two jumps, by two
eager-eyed fellows, who bore it off in
triumph. The crowd then came back
to Main street to'witness an exhibition
by the fire boys. The street was clear
ed, fire kindled in the steamer, the fire
alarm rung, and down the street came
the apparatus at tremendous speed,
the hose cart drawn by the boys and
the steamer by team. They set the
machine on the east side of the river
just above the dam, and in six minutes
from the first tap of the bell the boys
had 700 feet of hose stretched, and the
pipe attached, ready for business. While
the steamer was coming down the street
the crate dropped out, making some de-
lay, else they would have had water be-
fore the hose was ready. There was ID
pounds of steam up when the machine
reached the river. The Cataract hand
engine came down more leisurely and
did some good work.
The exercises of the day were finish
ed by two grand balls in the evening,
one at the Opera House and the other
by the Guards at their armory.
