THE OLD CLOCK on THE STAIRS.

The "\Yrc2k Of the lIcspcrus," was
written in !S39, at midnight. a
violent storm had occurred tic night
before the distress and disasters at
sea had been great, especially along the
capcs of the New England coast. The
papers OF the day were full of the news
Of disasters. The poet was sitting
alone in his study late at night, when
tho vision Of the wrecked lIcspcrus
came drifting on the disturbed tides Of
thought into his mind. lie went 10
bed but could not sleep. lie arose
and wrote the poem, which came into
his mind by whole stanzas, finishing
them just as the clock-thc old clock
stairs-was striking three.
Sir Walter Scott, says that he was
led to write "Kcnilworth" because the

The Grand Trunk Road.

Sir Henry Tyler, president of the Grand
Trunk road, who arrived in Montreal Saturday
from England, stated to a reporter that his
principal object in coming was to secure an in
dependent through line for his road to Chica-
go, and, ''by hook or crook" he would have it
for the benefit of Canada. The million and "a
half received from the Dominion government
for the Riviere Duloup branch is to be used in
completing the connection with the Queen City
of the West. Sir Henry further said he felt it
would be premature to say anything as yet in
regard to what understanding might be arrived
at between the Great Western and Grand
Trunk roads, and objected to the use of the
word amalgamation in that connection as like
ly to prove irritating to the Great Western
people. "We shall know more about it by
and by" said he, upon the arrival of Col.
Gray, president, and Mr.. Ball, one of the
directors, now on their way to this country

The polls will open at 10 a. M. in Ward 3 to-
day and close at 4. p. m, for the election of an
Alderman in place of Albert Smith, deceased.
Mr.. Lorenzo Taylor received the nomination of
the Republicans caucus Saturday night, by a
vote of 80 to for William Senter. Mr.. Taylor
is a staunch Republican, man who has PROV
ed himself active and efficient in the Board of
Aldermen in former years, and will COM
mand the full confidence of his party The
Democrats and Greenbackers have made no
caucus nominations but do not be deceived

contest in the Ward. Your opponents evil

sibly unite on William G. Davis Let every
Republican in the ward see that he deposits
his vote today for Lorenzo Taylor. Remem-
Der as the Board of Aldermen now stands,
there are three Republicans to three Demo-
Gratis and Greenbackers, and the Mayor

The Dwight Insurance Case.

Colonel Walton Dwight of Binghampton,
N. Y, died some months ago, as will be re-
membered by our readers, leaving policies upon
his life in various companies amounting to over
$250,000. After proper investigation, the
Equitable Life, of this City, promptly paid its
loss of $4,000 in full, and steadily declined
having anything to do with the subsequent
proceedings. However, the remains were ex-
humed, a second autopsy was made, and the
entire case gone over again before the Coroner's
jury, composed of eminent physicians. Yes
terday the jury, after hearing all the testimony
bearing upon the case, returned the following
unanimous verdict
We do find that the said Walton Dwight
came to his death at the Spaulding House, in
the City of Binghamton, ON the 10Th day of No
vember, 1878, from exhaustion of the vital pow
ers produced by protracted vomiting, malnr-
triton, and the enervating effects of mala rial
poison terminating in fatal collapse; and fur
thermore we find that the said Walton Dwight
did not come to his death from suicidal or no.
micidal causes.
This disposes of one of the most curious of
disputed life insurance cases, for it is to be
presumed that all the Companies will now be
compelled to adopt the course taken voluntarily
by one at the beginning.-N Y. Commercial
