Personal,

Mr.. Thomas Dunlevy, Of the Grand Mead
ow Ne,rs, was in town last Monday.
The Madison ID. IT, Sentinel speaks of the
prosperity of our old friend, J. NJ. Hutchins.
He is still an ''old stager."
Geo. Clague, the photographer, has re-
lery on Water street, opposite the Davidson
House. George is good artist.
Mrs. S. w. Day and daughter, Mrs. Park
Goodwin, started this week for Ohio, visiting
friends and enjoying the change of scenery
and climate. Mrs. Day is in quite poor health,
and it is hoped the trip will do her good.
w. w. Crandall, of Owatonna, showed his
urday, and remained with us over the Sabbath.
We believe he has a sort of laundering for
Austin, after all.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. p. Kirkland left Austin
yesterday for Warrensburg, Missouri, to visit
an aged brother of Mrs. Kirkland. We GER
tainly wish father Kirkland and wife pleas
ant journey, an enjoyable visit and safe re-
turn to their home and friends in Austin.
"A very pleasant notice of Mr.. Wallie Van
Valkenburgh, appearing in the Norwalk
items of the Monroe County (IVis.) Democrat,
says:
Van, although young in years, has had
many years of practical experience in the
grain business, and has already given Nor
walk q better market than IT has had for some
time. In fact Van by his smiling face and genial
manners seems to win the confidence of the
farmers, and they allow him to walk of with
their produce unmOlested.

| AFavorite Ode OF the Saxon Masons.
When the last of the stars, dimly flashing,
Sees old time to its end hasten on;
When planets to ruin are dashing,
And the suns light is pallid and wan;
Through the halls, where the Masons are
founding
Their Temple majestic and grand,
Shall be heard that last cry loudly sounding
"Hasten, brothers, the morn is at had!'
East and West, North and South, through all
nations
The work at that call will have ceased,
And the brethren, observing their stations,
Shall look in calm faith to the East;
Joining hand over valleys and highlands,
Where each stands in the land Of his birth,
Shall he seen DER all continents and islands
But ONE LODGE on the face of the earth.
To the Masters stern voice loudly crying,
"Have the Mason's obeyed my commander
Comes the voice of the Craftsmen replying,
"Look with grace on the work of our hands
In our feeble and poor earthly fashion
Have we sought to hew out the rough stone;
Let the depth of eternal compassion
For the faults of our labor atone!"
"What's the hour?" cries the voice Of the
Master:
They answer, ''Low Twelve, but behold
The rays Of Thy morning come faster,
TO our eyes all its glories unfold"
At His nod see the wells rent asunder
And. while earth sinks to chaos and night
Mid loud peals of the echoing thunder
Shall the brethren be brought to pure LIGHT

Why the Irish Hate Page.

ADAMS, Oct. Is, 1870
Mr. EDITOR: would like to. know what Page
has ever done for the Irish, that he claims
their votes? Is it because he said Father Nc
Dermott was drunken Irishman?" Is it be-
cause he said H. NJ. Allen was elected 'by the
votes of drunken Irishmen?' Is it because
he said that Thos. Riley was "a low, contempti-
BILE Irishman?' Is it because that he de-
nounced I. N. Hawkins, in the severest terms,
and said that he ought to be beaten, and he
hoped he would be, for selling himself to vote
for Donnelly's Personal Liberty bill, when he
(Hawkins) was a candidate for the Legislat-
ure? Now l would like to have Page give a
single reason why should vote for him, in
stead of for Farmer for Judge. So far as I
know, Page has ever been the enemy of the
FRESHMAN.

Two or three soreheaded republicans Of

those who know him best, know that there
has not been one single act of his public life

A Description Of the Winner of the
Ashley Belt

For right behind these two men. as
they go fighting away over the long
course and wearing their overworked
hearts down a whole year in single
day, comes a queer little fellow, tre-
mendously strong from the belt down,
his calves bulging out as if he had his
lunch in there; he brings into this
tight between the picked men of two
continents the best pair of legs in
England. Such thick, sturdy foot.
1t might belong to Hercules little
brother. Such commanding thighs,
and, even more noticeable than either,
look at the muscles of his hips. Ali
over the top of them and just below
the loins is a most wonderful develop
ment, betokening enormous power.
No wonder this little man can run.
The wonder would be how he could
help it, for with a good roomy chest,
easily the best arms in the course. a
thicker neck than Hanlan, the sculler,
and a round, good-natured Johnny
Bull head, with eyes bilious and
slightly blood-shot like Courtney s,
this stout, young, pony-built man has
looked all over a winner. Indeed he
is the only thoroughly gladitorial
looking man on the course. for, saving
Ennis, somehow our American ath-
letes do not look equal to the work
they do, and seem to do it with their
heads rather than their muscles. And
such queer pace. For with quiet,
deferential, almost subservient face
and the air of well-bred English
groom, this little Briton does not run,
does not walk, but jog-trots around
the course. Why doesn't he let out /!
For he only takes little half-steps,
keeping his feet all the time under
him, while if be would only turn his
thumbs up sharp his swing of them
would be just like the regulation
swing of the most approved Fifth
avenue swell. When Ennis runs be-
side him or comes up behind and goes
by, it looks as though any one could
run down that lazy little logger. But
just try it and see. Look over on that
great blackboard at the East end of
the hall. See those figures and little
Rowelps own name at the top.
