A Fatal Mistake-Death Of q Prom.
inent Citizen.
A Aierrible tragedy occurred at Pal
myrai on Monday last which resulted
in the death OF DIR. Ezra Rose, prom
nent citizen and leading physician of
that town. e5
This was the day of the annual Welsh
Fair in that township and large num-
Der Of people had assembled to wit
ness and participate in tho exercises
of the occasion, and everything was
moving off in pleasant and satisfac-
tory manner, when ehortly after ten
o'clock the festivities Of the occasion
were marrcd by the announcement
that DIR. Rose and Sylvester r. Can
field. Esq, were dying from the effects
of poison taken through mistake. As
far as we can learn the particulars 1t
seems that the Doctor and Mr.. Cam
field at about ten o'clock had repaired
to the drug store of the former to take
q social glass aud the Doctor poured
out or q jar drink for each, of which
they partook. No sooner was the por-
ton swallowed than the Doctor an
nounced to Mr.. Garfield that they
had swallowed q deadly poison-he
haying mistaken aconite for whisky.
He Immediately administered an
emetic to himself and companion, but
as far as he was concerned, it was OF
no avail; the deadly poison did it's
work, and he died from the effects Of
the drug in about an hour and twenty
minutes after the Occurrences. At
last accounts Mr.. Garfield was alive
and strong hopes were entertained Of
his recovery.

Lake ChaasArsuasib | Il

The evsr increasings favoka Aith
which Lake ChaHtauqua has come to
be regarded as summer resort, has
led to many improvements in the ho.

which have been apparently justified
by q we'll founded belief in its perma.

improvements for the coming season
is the hotel at Point Chautauqua a
capacious structure, with more preten-
sion to architectural effect than is gen.
orally found in the average summer
resort hotel. 1t occupies command

Another fine structure will be the
new Lake View House, which has
been enlarged and improved by the
addition of an imposing front on the

novelties, will include spacious court

The Lake Aeet is augmented by the
addition Of a fine new steamer, the

There she's incoming, grooming,
On pine-branch slender.
And ah! it's the dove, the dove, dove, dove,
That never can coo, but she pleads OF love,

In the shadows fair and tender.
That's the wren, my fairy,

Underneath the hedges
And oh, it's the wren, the wren, wren. wren,
That is never contented too far from men,
But lives, lives, lives
Secure in the field-side hedges.
That's the thrush, my beauty;
Harh! and let us hear her.
Yonder swinging, singing,
Higher, bolder, clearer.
And oh. its the thrush, the thrush. thrush thrush
Whose loud song wakes the noontide hush,
The Deep deep hush
OF the meadows and wolGs to hear her
That's the mock-bird, sweetheart.
TO all tones beholden,
Which are thrilling. filling
Glades of woodlands golden.
And ah it's bird, a bird, bird bird.
The sweetest that ever mortal heard.
All! sweet sweet, sweet,
In the sunshine, fresh and golden!

QUEFN MARY'S LOVER.

An unpublished manuscript, giving
certain new particulars concerning the
murder of Rizzio, has been brought to
light in the British Museum. 1t is
probable that the manuscript was either
dictated by Mary Stuart herself, or writ
ten from information supplied by her to
her secretary. It begins with relating a
discussion by the confederate lords, just
after the murder, concerning the next
step they ought to take. Darnley, terri
fed at their proposals, endeavored at
night to enter the queens bedroom by n
private stair, The door, however, was
locked. and the queen firmly refused to
open it till next morning, although Darn
ley assured her he had something to tell
her which concerned their common safety.
When he was at last allowed to enter, he
threw himself on his knees before her,
begged that she would pardon him, and
showed the secret articles between him
self and his accompllces. Ths queen
replied that he had lost her confidence,
as she believed, forever, but that he
must now devise some means to save
both himself and her from danger; His
plan was that she should pardon the
conspirators, and thus prepare the way
.for compromise, but she refused to
promise it, saying, however, that her
husband might promise anything he
liked in her name. Darnley first brought
his father to her and afterward the other
lords of the same faction. Morton, as
spokesman for the rest, implored her
pardon, and knelt on the very spot which
was still red with the blood of Rizzio
The queen, being closely pressed by the
solicitations, at last feigned sudden i'll
ness and called for the immediate pres
ence of the midwife, leaving it to Darn
ley to say what she would do. Although
the midwife had been appointed by the
conspirators, she was so well deceived
that she reported the queens life in dan
geE from premature pains of labor, and
the lords We're obliged to withdraw.
That night Mary's plan of escape was
secretly arranged, and before daybreak,
says the manuscript, she and Darnley
were a long distance on the road to Dun
bar
