IRISH LAMENTATION.

Cold, lark and dumb lies ms hoy on his bed
Cold, dark, and silent the night dews are shed
Hot, swift. aud fierce fall nv tears for the deal,
HIS footprints lay light In The lew OF the dawn
As the straight slender track of The young moun-
tain fawn;
But I'll ne'er again follow them over the lawn.
His manly cheek blushed win the suns rising ray,
And he shone in his strength like the al mid
day
But cloud OF black darkness has nil him away.
And that black cloud forever snail cling 10 the skies
And never, all. never, III see him arse,
Lost warmth of my hOsnm, lost light OF my eyes

FRIDAY, May :
Court then adjourned to May oath.


The MEARER TRAGEDY--The most direct
Mrs. Meaker, is the testimony of young
man named Charles Thompson, who lives
with his mother in i house situated near the
river about mile and half below Water
bury village. He says that about 1890, on
the evening of the murder, he was returning
home from the village on foot. On a flat,
before getting to the Henry hill he was over
taken and passed by team containing
three persons. One of them, who was driv-
ing, he recognized as''Almon Meaker, and the
other two were females, one larger than the
other. He also recognized the horse as be-
ing black horse owned by Mr.. Bates, the
livery stable man for seven or eight years,
with which he was very familiar. 1t was
bright moonlight, and he could see objects
very plainly. The team passed him on a
trot, and went up the Henry hill, getting
more and more ahead of him, until it was
out of sight. To his surprise, on coming to
the brow of the hill, he found himself right
upon the team, which had apparently been
standing still for some little Time. The occu-
pants seemed to perceive him, and started up
again on trot 1t will be remembered that
Almon pointed out a spot upon the hill, just
DtlOTe TtuCulIlp lrs lltuIN db lHe piitt
where they gave Alice the poison, and il is
now believed that they stopped the team
while they mixed it, and while she drank it.
During the ride which Deputy Sheriff Ather
ton and Almon took on the morning after
the murder, upon coming to the spot where
Almon said the child died. Mr.. Atherton
gathered that they had stopped there some
time before proceeding to the muck hole.
He asked Almon about it, and he said,
Yes, We waited here till Size died" He
made the remark as coolly as one might
speak of the death OF a rat. Both the father
and daughter seem to be relieved from all
suspicion of completely in the murder, or Of
any knowledge of it, Nellie Aleaker is
about 81 years of age. OF progressing per-
sonal appearance, and sustains good repu-
tation among the most respectable people OF
Barre, Waterbury and Duxbury. who speak
warmly in her praise. Miss Meaker is over
whelmed by the terrible calamity that has
overtaken her family. The cup in which the
infamous draught was pressed TO her lips was
the child's own china mug, the gilt of her
mother, and bearing on it in gilt lettesS a
motto of maternal affection. Following the
murdererss directions, given in supple
mental confession, Duputy-Sheriff Atherton
found tLa Iaaas in tho hniso of tho MaakSrS
The bottle which contained the sweetened
water was thrown into a brook which crosses
the road near their house, on their return.
