1873 O. man named Arthur O'Connor
kept hotel known as the Gate Hill
House, three mics north of Owego. He
vas arrested in that year, tried and con-

and was sentenced to two years in the
Auburn State prison.
He was married, and had two chill

wife, believing him dead, was married
in 1869 to shoemaker named Hermann
Berry. y day or two ago O'Coner
made his appearance in Owego. Berry,
hig wife's second husband, was absent
from home. O'Connor obtained an in
teryiew with the wife. She accompa-
MED him to Hornellsville, where one
of his children, a daughter, who had
grown uhd married during his absence,
lived.
Berry, coming home and finding out
the situation, went to Hornellsyille. He
found his wife, and asked her whether
she would 20 bash with him or intended

return to Owego with Berry. O'Cen-

A Mothers Death.

There is a sad, solemn sweetness
that gathers around mothers DEATH
bed. The experience ola lifetime is
crowded into that silent moment. A
thousand kind acts of the past come
tripping home-white winged messen-
gers to departed glory never to return
on earth again. Who can fathom that
mothers love, that for long years, has
only found utterancc TO the throne Of
God in supplication for our good, and
whose every act has but one more tie
that has bound Us inseparably to =
gether? Now that good mother lies
dying, there IS a hushed stiffness about
the house. Every one moves lightly
from room to room. Conversation is in
whispers. with an occasional sob that
is impossible to repress, The eyes OF
all are dimmcd BY the unbiddcn tear.
None seems 50 calm and collected as
the dyin- sufferer herself. Through
the eye of faith she is looking far, far
into that better land that is soon to be
her future home. She thinks of Him
who came upon earth, and taking upon
himself he similitude of man, ascended
the cross Of Calvary. and poured out
his lify's blood, that poor, bruised and
crushed humanity might have an avenue
Of escape.
Why should she not be calm even
within the grasp Of the king oS terrors:
Hope has fastened its anchor in her
heart, and as she nears the dark river
she hears the voice of angels calling
fiom beyond, and sees their white
banners waving her onward to the
bright land above.
The eyes grow dull, the hands grow
cold, and the breath goes QUITO return
no more. The lease of life has been
foreclosed, and the suffering of the
flesh can 10 longer be endured. The
season of probation has ended. The
joys and sorrows of this life are the
things OF the mighty past. Hope and
fear, and joy and sadness will no longer
hold high carnival in that lump Of clay.
The purposes for which 1t was called
into existence have ceased, and like
an old clock, the weights having fallen

Astonishing a Congregation.

...rI.. 2. .H.. - u ~. --
Lorenzo Dow, II is SAID, was on his
way to o'preach in South Carolina, under
a large spruce tree, when he overlook
a lad who was blowing large tin horn'
and could send forth a blast which
walked the echo in the distant hills
Calling aside the blower, Dow said to
him:
"What's your name, sir"
my name? Gabriel, sir" replied
the brother IN ebony.
well, Gabriel, have you been 10

"Yes, massa, Use bin dar many

on the hlll:"
.'Oh. yes, massa, knows dat tree"
"Did you know that Lorenzo Dow
had an appointment to preach under
that tree tomorrow 2"
"Oh, yes, massa; everybody knows
dat.n
"Well, Gabriel, 1 am Lorenzo Dow
and if you'll take your horn and go to-
morrow morning and climb up into that
spruce tree and hide yourself among its
branches before the crowd begins TO
gather and wait there until call your
name. and then blow such blast with
YOUR horn as / heard you blow
minute ago, I'll give you a dollar
Will you do tt"
Eyes, massa, takes dat dollar"
Gabriel, like Zaccheus, was hid away
in the tree top in due time. An i'm
mense concsurse Of people assembled
at the appointed hour, and Dow
preached on the judgment ofthe last
day. BY his power of description he
wrought the multitude up to the scene
of the resurrection and assize at the call
of the trumpet peals which were to
wake the nation.
Then" said he, suppose, my
diving friends, that this should be the
hour; suppose you should hear at this
moment the sound Of GabriePs
trumpet !"
Sure enough, at hat moment the
trumpet of Gabriel sounded! The wo-
men screamed, aud many tainted; the
men looked aghast; some ran ana
others cried for mercy! Dow stood and
watched the drif ted storm until the
fright abated, and some one had dIscoy-
cred the colored angel who caused the
alarm, quietly perched on a limb Of the
old spruce, and wanted to get him
down and whip him. Then he resumed
his theme, saying:
81 forbid all present from touching
that boy up there. If colored boy
with a tin horn can frighten you almest
out of your wits, what will you do when
you hear the triumphal thunder of the
archangel; how will you be able to
stand in the great day Of the wrath OF
God?"

PoLITENEss IN CHILDREN.-Do not
permit Susy or Jennie, unreproVed TO
bother or tease Or annoy Bridget in the

as the servant girl, 'or speak OF servant

their refinement every time they use it.
Do not jump to pick up your thlmble

Come, listen to me for a while, my lad,
Come, listen to me for spell
Let that terrible drum
For moment be dumb,
For your uncle is going to tell
What befell
A youth that loved liquor too well
A clever young man was he, my lad,
And with beauty uncommonly blessed,
With brandy and wine
He began to decline,
And behaved like person possessed;

One cnening he went to a tavern, my lad,
lie went to tavern one night,
And, drinking too much
Rum, brandy and such,

'Tis horrible sumber he takes
He tremb,es with fear,
And acts very queer
Ny eyes how he shivers and shakes
When he awakes,
And raves abou, horrid great snakes.
'Tis warning to you and to me, my lad,
A particular caution to all
Though no one can see
The viper but he
To hear the poor lunatic bawl
GLOW they crawl
All over the floor and the wall :"
Next morning he took to his bed, nay lad,
Next morning he took to his bed;
And he never got up,
To dine or to sup,
Though properly physiced and bled
Next day the peor fellow was dead.
You've heard Of the snake in the grass, my la
OF the viper concealed in the grass;
But now you must know,
Mans deadliest foe
Is the snaAe of different class;
Alas,
'Iis the viper that luiks in the glass.

DEAR SIR - This week we come
again to the front with out stock of
items. The farmers about here are
very busy improving this pleasant
weather. The school closed yesterday
for one weeks vacation. We hope the
pupils will make the most of the short
time allotted them, so that when school
begins again, they will 60 at work with
renewed Vigor. The teacher, always
full of jokes, rperpetrated the greatest
one, of al short time since, on the
16th.nlt., he was married at Geneva.
He began school as usual on Monday,
andino one thought he was married
until this week it all leaked out. We
wish him long and happy welded life
with the lady OF his choice.
We also congratulate Mr.. G. w.
IIVoak, may his little daughter live to
grow to tWomanhood, a blessing to her
father and mother.
Mr.. Geo Vincent is rejoicing in the
birth of aeson; we ask him to accept
our congratulations, hoping that this
son may lie the staff Of his parents de-
I,clining years.
Our M. E. pastor, A. J. Benjamin,
has been with us the past week, al
though his health is poor now, we trust
that when his studies are completed,
he will come IT, us, for recuperation of
| health.
Next Tuesday evening the Sons of
Temperance expect alecturer from the
G. D.. They haue moved into the base
Gnent of the M. E. Church. and extend
hearty welcometo all who earnestly
desiDe to join theiT ranks.
Election caused some excitement
here and the voters turned out pretty
well.
A couple of young ladies Of this
place attended Teachers Examination
at SalenA. We think they had consider
able pluck to go and return both days

WHAT DEMOCRATIC POWER
MEANS

Nobody, we presume, entertains a
doubt that whatever requirements we've
made by the South would be complied
with at once, for now, as in anti-bel-
lum days, the Southern Democrats are
absolute masters in their party, and
permit no revolt from their conclusions
to pass unrebuked and unpublished.
Not only the $4,000, 900 now demand
ed for Southern improvements would
be insisted upon, but hundreds of mil
lions more. Democratic newspapers
at the South do not hesitate to say even
now that their section is entitled to all
it can get out of the national Treasury,
by way of reimbursement for the loss
es it sustained during the civil war. It
behooves the people of the North to
take warning in time. Once turn the
Legislative and executive divisions of
the Federal Government over to the
Democracy, and there will be no RENE
|dy available. The North must then
foot the bills of the South on all sorts
of accounts, private as well as public.

MUSH AND MILK IN COLLEGE.
res
hottie Editer of the New York Tribune:

STR-Those young men at Cornell
who manage to live SO cheaply should
be commended. DID not Benjamin
Franklin in his youth live for some
time on mus4l and milk? To live In
that way requires self-denial, self-con-
troll, and moral courage qualities Of
character not cultivated to an alarm
ing degree blythe majority Of college
students, but (which are so essential to
success in life chat they should be en-
couraged wherever they ame found. If
these young gentlemen should wait
until they could pursue their studies
under more favorable conditions, cir
cumstauces might ooetr that
would prevent them from going to col
lege at all. One might as well say
that Bayard Taylor should have staid
at home until he had saved money
enough to travel in Europe as other
people did. instead Of starting with
very small means to view it afoof.

a coincidence, Mr.. French being the
first man Mr.. Allen met in the county,
this occurring Aug. II, 1885, both haV-

their fortunes in new country.
