This morning. we were handed rasp.

large, luscious ripe raspberries, others
half ripe and still others just starting
They grew in the open air in the yard
of b. T. Hawkins, ,202 East Sixth street,
the plant having been given to him
about year ago by Mrs. Mousiey, of
Brahdywine Hundred. The berries are
light purple oelor, and Mr.. Hawkins
thinks the name of them was the
"Monthly;" at any rate this would
seem like an appropriate name. We

For tho RepubittAn.t
ODE TO TMANHSGIvINO.
by yLoREScx n soLLIHaswoRrH

wAen the Pilgrim fathers landed
TN the rocky Plymouth shore,
| In the hond OF strong faith banded,
Which hardships only strengthened more
Then they raised 10 God an altar,
Through tho binding rain and snow,
Praised Him without song or psalter,
Many, many years ago.
Bowed each head, low In reverence
To the ruling God above,
Who 30 lately had given evidence
Ofhis tender, watchful love.
BY this homage fresh zeal was lighted,
All hearts with ardor filled,
And this instance vi ! long be cited,
For having sterhest thoughts instilled.
Year by year the colory fiourisbed--
Strong resolves bore pleasant fruit
BY heavily food II was noursh'd,
Deep lay the Bible Mt Its root
And AZ each yearly cycle passed,
Ore whole day was set apart,
thanks,
From tho depths OF one common heart.
Down through many n generation,
Has this custom TO us come,
Kept holiday by the nation
Celebrated In every home.
Strange this old practice, Instituted
BY our Iather's years heiore,
Non observed by US, is cSnstitated,
And set aside for evernioro.
Thes give thabksl ye people, bend low,
Praise Hin for HIS benefits;
That, as each year shall come and go.
He will s'fard us from fo.t pits
Give to all with most beuBte0us hand
Watch DER each ana everyone
send prosperity TO our dear land
And make all His powsr 70 own.
But amidst all our own pleasure,
Let m not the poor foaxet;
Should We neglect them by what measure
Can we lulI tho deep regret,
Which will track our faotsteps day ey day,
Eat our hearts like oefroding rust,
Becsuse We have turned Christs peor away,
Who only beg one eitiiul crusE
whatsoever hath given unto the least Of these
in,My name,
Verify, verify hasA he proiercd " Me the
same.

The Cape May Fire.

The investigation into the cause OF
the late FIRE at Cape May, N. j., which
has just CLOSED, points to the fact that
tn. fire was the work of an iRcendiary
and fixes suspicion upon Samuel R..
Ludlow, proprietor of the Ocean House,
in which tAe fire originated. Ludlow
denies all knowl-dg. Of the incidsn-
diary act, but twenty-th out of thirty
witnesses examined swear that they
saw bin in that vicinity on the morn
ing of the fire, and affidavits to that
effect having been filed he will be ar
rested. and will probably be tried at
