JUST now, while the spirit Of i'm
provement is marching on in Middle
town, we should like to see some new
enterprise started that would give en-
ployment to idle hands seeking labor.
We have our machine shops, carriage
mandatory, and other industrial en-
terprises, but they ouly give employ
ment to few skilled workmen. Our
fruit drying establishments give en-
ployment to quite a number, and scat
ter many dollars among the needy dur
ing the fruit season, but this is only for
a short time, and during the dull win
ter months gives no help to the work
ing people Of the community
We need factories in Middletown ;
factories that will run the year round
and turn out some staple article Of
every day use; factories that will give
our people, who have only the labor Of
their hands to depend on, steady en-
ployment, even if it must be at low
wages. We are not well enough versed
in manufacturing tosuggest any article
that could be made to advantage here,
but there are many things of every
day use for which we send to the north
and east which certainly could be made
as cheaply here as there. We have
every facility for transportation at low
rates; we have in this community a
number Of persons, male and female,
old and young, who would be glad OF
employment at the most reasonable
rates, and we now have now two build
ings, at least, standing idle, with en-
gines in them, and near the railroad,
with side tracks already laid, that pro-
badly could be purchased or leased for
manufacturing purposes on advanta-
geous terms. Many towns in thenorth
and west have brought manufacturers
to them by offering a free building site
for a factory, and exempting the same
from taxation for number Of years,
thereby giving the town an impetus
that it would otherwise have never
gained, besides giving steady employ
ment to the laboring people Of the COM
munity. If we have none among us
with the capital or inclination to I'M
dertake such an enterprise, then we
should adept the course pursued by
these towns. Invite manufacturers
here offer them our idle buildings at
a low rental, or give them a building
site for factory. VIII our men Of
influence and capital make move in
this direction? The establishment OF
a factory at this point would not only
give employment to the laborer, but
would bring in new people, enhance
the value of real estate, and directly
or indirectly benefit every property
holder, business man and laborer in
this community. We shall refer to
this subject at another time.

IN the U. S. Senate, on Thursday,
Senator Dennis presented the Blair
resolution Of the Maryland Legislature,
in relation to Mr.. Hayes title to the
Presidency. In presenting the resoIu-
ton Mr.. Dennis took occasion to say
that he was opposed to it and that he
should act with good faith. He voted
for the appointment Of the Electoral
Commission and would stand by its
decision. He felt in honor bound to
sustain it, and was sure, while reason
held her sway over the minds Of our
people, any attempt to reverse the de-
cision of that commission would not
succeed. Our people have had enough
disturbance throughout the land and
now desire peace.

She fell asleep al day-break,
just when the morning light
Began, with golden fingers.
To chase away tie night
Just when The sweetest sunshine
Was coming from the east,
Her dear eyes closed to the world
Her gentle signing ceased.
She fell asleep So calmly,
With such peaceful faith,
Her soul went through the valley,
The shadows dark Of death.
Oh leauing on her Master,
She lost all doubts ana fear,
The sounding waves Of Jordan
Was music in her ears.
She fell asleep so sweetly:
And they who by her wept,
RejOiced to see the glory
Which crowned her as she slept.
A smile SO sweet and cheerful,
Seemed on her face TO shine,
When she laid aside the pilgrim robes
AND lett the shores of time.
She fell asleep in Jesus;
., sleep how sweet and blest,
From which her spirit wakened
In his dear arms 10 rest.
Remember, hearts that loved her
How oft for her you'n weep,
Asleep in Christ, shall rise again.

A number Of good men have "gone
wrong" this week, chief among them
being S. Angler Chase, Treasurer Of
the Union Mills, at Fall River, Mass,
who has confessed an embezzlement Of
S480,O00, which is a comfortable sum
to contemplate these hard times. Chase
has been several years getting through
with this money, but it was not discov-
cred until one day this week, when the
paper went to protest.
Fl. A. McIntire, President Of the
First National Bank Of Lake City, and
Vice President Of the First National
Bank Of Colorado Springs, Colorado,
has also stepped out with something
like $4,000 and has thus far failed to
return. He is probably many miles
from the Centennial State" ere this
time, and it is feared when things are
counted up his stealings will amount
to more than was at first supposed.

n is stated that Secretary Sherman
had conference with leading New
York bankers on Tuesday last, and
that it was Of strictly private nature,
but the object was understood to have
been an exchange Of views on the
financial condition Of the country, and
the practicability Of resuming specie
payments by the first Of January next. "
It is just possible that leading New
York bankers have no desire to see the
financial condition of the country i'm

OBITUARY..
REQUIEsCAT IN PACE.

Sad we're our thoughts when we read the
announcement of the death of Mrs. John D.
Eliason, of Summit Bridge. Though it was
but the fulfllment of that every day lesson,
Fin the midst Of life we are in death vet,
when brought 10 the realization that the icy
hands of death have removed from us dear
friend, whose presence has always been an
acknoE lodged influence in the social moral,
and religious circles ii almost turns our sad.
ness into grief. After Il short illness she de-
parted this life in peace, March 7th, 1878, at
the age of fifty-nine years, leaving behind her
a husband, sons, and daughters, to mourn
her DEATH Indeed, not few other acquain-
tances, young, as well as old, Of whom she
had so many, can be said TO mourn their loss;
for society, sociability, and the faculty to
make and entertain friends was q law OF her
nature. And if Providence has attached so
much sadness to solitude, so much charm to
society, it is because society is indispensable
for ones earthly happiness, for his moral and
religious development This was doubtless
our departed friends conviction at least,
her presence always engendered such feeling
among others It was form Of the soul at
taChed TO the religious observance of duty,

fection of her nature through all circumstan-

does nothing but what is good. Whatever
happens, all will be well everything that He
shall do, accept beforehand, and bless. T
This, or similar, was the language | once
heard her utter in the presence OF a gathering
of young folks, as their minds casually turned
upon the future. Such was her uHutterahle
faith, her support, her refuge in the fearful
moment. And what greater consolation can
that sad and heaFt-stricken family have than
to know that its head, the mother, was pre-
pared for that great calling? Though dead,
She still Iiveth Tor dying is but going home ?
We know that you miss her. fou may watch

could give is hers. No pain, no sickness, no
cares, no sorrow is there Death itself is
vanquished, and It's sting no longer felt We
feel that it is a severe blow, one OF those
