The Good Old Fashioned Winter

The following taken from an Eng

friend. shows that they are having 4
similar Winter to our own i'll the Old
Country:
Q the good old.fashioned winter!
With its silent, ice-bound stream.
And the sparkling glow Of the drifted
snow,
Meath the red December beam;
With its silvery frosted landscape,
Traced on the window pane;
Q, the wintry King that we lov'd to
sing!
Will he never come again?
When we welcome Father Christmas,
And drain the festive horn,
Will the snow-tlake's wing, and the
sleigh-bell's ring,
On the northern blast be borne?
Will the summers faded glories
Wear spotless shroud again;
Or lie blackening round, on the cold.
damp ground,
In the pitiless, drenehing rain?
Ah. the good old fashioned winter!
lis memory of the past
And the hoary King, that we once
could sing,
Hath his tieecy mantle cast:
But dear old Father Christmas
Is still the same to all,
lie brings songs and mirth to each
household hearth
With his merry festival.

most diabolical outrage that has ever marred
the good name Of this city transpired here.
Between those hours body of men number
ing, 1t is estimated, about 200, came into town
and proceeded to the sheriff's Office, where
they found Deputy Sheriff Richardson, and
compelled that functionary to deliver to them
the keys of the jail.
Having procured them they proceeded to
the Jail and took therefrom Pleas. Phillips
Henry Atkins and Jim Beatty, found guilty of
the murder of Constable Fitzgerald of Tren-
ton, and Tom Ross, found guilty of the muir
der of Mr.. Collins, and hanged them to the
limb of tree in the Courthouse square,
about 200 yards from the jail, where their
lifeless bodies were found dangling this morn
ing.
The coroner's jury returned verdict Of
death from strangulation at the hands Of per-
sons unknown to them. The poor victims
were consigned to their last resting place this
evening. While the occurrence is deeply re-

SOLVING A CHEAT PROBLEM.
The Public Lands as a Refuge for the
UnemplOy ed.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-The remarkable in
crease In the settlement Of the public lands
has set many thinking people to considering
whether emigration from the crowded cities
Of the East to the public domains of the We t
will not be found the true remedy for the
hard times. Statistics furnished by Gen
Williamson, Commissioner OF the Land
Office, snow that nearly 100000 acres more
were sold in the year ending June 80, 1878,
than In the previous year, in Minnesota, Ne
braska, Kansas and Dakota. Gen. William
son states that a great deal OF the public
land is being taken up by colonies, madesup
In many Instances of mechanics from the city.
Ihe figures from Arkansas will, Gen. Will
hanson says, probably make as good a show
ing as the three States and the Territory
named-quite as good, in fact, as Texas.
Well informed Texans state that there is
nothing in the history of any State like the
increase OF the population of that State. The
public lands there belong to the State, conse-
quentiy the general government has no
means OF getting statistics OF the increase
and the amount of land taken up.
The Territory of Dakota, Notwithstanding
the Indian difficulties, shows an astonishing
increase from 218,378 to ], 1,461, ,S01 acres, or
over 800 per cent. In Kansas the entries of
the fiscal year 1877 were about tripIed last
year, the figures standing at 100000 and
2,061,00 respectively. In Minnesota the en-
tries We're nearly quadrupled, aggregating
respectively 279, BAT and ,G41 ,203.
Ihe largest item of increase is in land
taken out under the homestead act, the ag-
gregates OF the TWO years standing at SIG, ,399
