DEERFIELD.


Another year has rolled round amid
all the changes and stern realities of
life. Financially it has been q severe
year, caused by Sherman & Co.'S. re-
sumption act. Politically it has been
Democratic success, and morally, it is
unprecedented in the annals of history,
embracing crime in all its black cate
CORY and yet, in all the varied scenes
of life the scythe of Time is cutting
down on the right and OH the left, re-
gardless of station or power. To some
the past year has been year of joy,
to others sorrow, to others expectancy
and indecision, but in all the transito-
ry changes of this life, we feel there is
nothing on earth more certain than
death. We submit the annual report
of deaths in Deerfield and vicinity for

Though silent IA the river deep.
The good their course pursue,
Their record holy angels keep,
In untried paths and new,
ThGugh clouds and Lempests Ger them lower
A hand prOpiIiOus lends its power
And when by death the good man falls,
We view the path he trod,
And hear no sound the heart appalls
But anthems sent by dud;
For this we know, the angels come.
To guide the waywOrn traveller home.
And there's a voice to those that mourn,
Nor comes it from the deep,
It c,;mes from Him WhOee heart was torn,
With anguish that could weep,
1t tells US that the dead shall rise,
And reign with him beyond the skies.
We know the dead are every where
Our sight bids US behold,
The lfeless form. the vacant chair,
And puleeless heart SO cold,
And yet this truth the Lord doth give,
That unto him the dead doth Fve.--

And father tender, KIND,

And there a chaplet b nd.
The cold, cod grave shall ever shed
A halo round has reverend head.

FIRES.
AT Silver Reef, Utah.

SILVER REEF, UTAH, May 3l.-At
about half-past o'clock this morning a
fire broke out on the west side OF Main
street in the plank sidewalk in front OF
a restaurant. In ten minutes the greater
part of the block in which the Harrison
House was situated was in flames. The
fire spread rapidly west and south, a
strong wind prevailing from the north
east. The Harrison House, Pioneer
restaurant, the stores of Histenburg &
Ponjade, Jacobs d Sutton, Siegel 4
Marks, j. Schwartz, John n. Cas-
siday's saloon and the new postOtfice
were consumed. The fire was stopped in

occupied by the Leeds Banking Com

ers' store. On the North II was cut of
by Cross street, sixty feet wide, between
Barnum's restaurant and store and
Jacob Sultan. All the houses on the
West side OF Main street, excepting
Liddle Brothers and McManus & Reed,
were burned. Some twenty OF the best
residences in town are in ashes. The
East side of the street, though badly
scorched and blackened, resumed. The
entire loss is estimated at half million
dollars. The insurance is light. All
danger seems past.

Peculiar Case of Dishonesty of an EN-
ploye.

CHICAGO, May 3l.-A most peculiar
and distressing case OF dishonesty of an
employe came TO light in the criminal
court to-day. Edwin Harris, a former
book-keeper Of the wholesale boot and
shoe firm OF zoe Brothers, later known
as McAnley, Dyke 4 Co, was yesterday
indicted Tor abstracting funds OF the
firm, was arrested and plead guilty to-
dav, and was sentenced to seven
wears in the penitentiary. Harris con-
feSsed the theft, stating that his
ungovernable desire to become rich was
the motive, and that from 1871,
when he was employed, to 1873, when
the firm was driven into bankruptcy by
his methods, he had taken from twelve
to fifteen thousand dollars, all of which
he had invested in bonds, real estate,
and in the business of his former en-
ployers, whom he bought out with the
funds stolen from them. 1t was only a
few days ago that the bankrupts, in
overhauling the accounts, came across
some little discrepancies, and when
asked to explain them, Harris made a
full confession. He is overwhelmed
with the sense of his disgrace, and
pleaded TO be Sentimmediately to Joliet.
He has a wife and mother.

Last Tuesday night, the school house

burned to-the ground. Last night the
same villain burned the Christian
Church in the same neighbOrhoOd. The
cause is no doubt enmity to Mr.. School
craft. who was conducting a school IN
that place, held first in the school house
and afterwards in the church. 1t Is
about time for certain people who lie
over the river to dry up about Wetzel,
Ii the yillainous scOundrel who burned
these buildings was on this side OF the
river. we would perhaps make short
work of him. As il is he will no doubt
escape punishment, and We shall here
after hear him blowing his horn about
Wetzel with the rest.

Decorating at Grafton.

Correspondence Of the Register,
GRAFTON, w. Va, May 80, 1879.
This was a big day in Grafton. Long
before the time appointed for the ex-
cises TO commence the country people
began to pour in from every quarter,
aud by 10 O'Clock the towns population
was increased several thousand. The
trains also brought in several hundred
people from the surrounding vicinity.
The programme, as published in the
Grafton Sutiaei, was carried out with
few exceptions.
Captain VI. DonohOo was grand
marshal OF the day, assisted by Col. j..
A. Beverlin and Major G.. w. Curtin.
Alter the usual preliminaries, such
as strewing flowers, DC, the gentleman
from Michigan, addressed the crowd.
He began by stating that as he would,
I'm the course of his remarks, say things
that would hurt the feelings of some
present. ne would advise those whose
feelings were in any danger to leave, and
many took the hint and came away IN
disgust. The Jimmy part OF the story
comes i'm here. In order TO raise money
10 defrav the expenses that would nee
essarilv be incurred, a committee was
appointed, few days ago, TO collect a
subscription. The committee consisted
of two Dement'S and one Republican,
and to-day the Democrats were plainly
told if they did not want 70 be insulted
10 20 away, Notwithstanding that the
marshal OF the day was Democrat.
4 couple of country fellows, who had
imbibed too much T. z, done something
% disturb the peace and dignity OF the
city, or some one in il, or looked cross
eyed at the soldiers, | don't know which,
were promptly arrested and marched IN
true military style, between file OF the
Garrett Rifles. 20 the Mayors office,
where matters were soon smoothed
over, and the prisoners ''paroled.'
Speaking of the Garrett Rifles, our
girls say they have the handsomcst otli-
Gers and the best looking men generally
they have eyer-well, hardly yever-seen.
