T'ITTLE-TATTLR.

Fair Nathslie at evening tide
Malked out with her own true love,
The thick green grass beneath their feel,
And the thick green trees above,
Then Zuska sid, My own sweetheart,
Give NE one KISS before We part.
The listening grasses heard and saw,
Aud could not the secret keep
The dear sweet secret, Every blade
Whispered the tale to the sheep
The silly sheep who were so glad
They Straishtway told the shepherd lad,
The shepherd told traveller
tFor he loved isir Nathallcl;
The traveller told sailor boy
One night ON the lonely sea;
The sailor To his rowing snip,
Too quickly let the secret slip,
For the ship to the salt sea waves
That ever run To aud fro,
Said, When the inland rivers come
To mix with the oceans How,
Ask after Ma halle, pretty one,
And ifthe handsome Zuska won.
50 at the last that river heard
That flowed by Nathalie's cot,
And the maids mother one ftne day
Went th.re with her water pot
And heard he tale, and told the maid'
And many an angry word was SAID
Nathalie blamed the river much,
And the river blamed the sea,
The sea said. with an angry roar.
"The shin is to blame, not me
The ship. tossed wildly 10 and fro,
Creaked Gus, THE sailor told me SO"
The sailor said. 1.-The traveller
Is the one that should be blamed
The traveller said, The shepherd boy
should never the tale have namod;
surely thought so far away.
No harm can come from what say.
The shepherd blamed the tatting sheep,
The sheep cried, 'Uhl aud alas!
So much OF grief aud quarrehng comes
Because Of that tell.tale grass,
What on earth did II see amiss

land, Ohio, until the 10th day of June, 1888,
when she with her husband came to Lima.
Her residence of almost forty-two reals in
Lima was marked by many acts of kindness
to all classes of our people, and if every

would be sleeping beneath a wilderness of
flowers. She was a woman of decided re-
hgious character and was one OF the oldest
members of the Presbyterian church IN
Lima, and in all the changing vicissitudes of
life she maintained the most conscientious
and devotional habit of life, such as became
a true aud sincere Christian. The imme-

Lancaster Tobacco,
The Farmers Brining it in by the Wagon
Loid.

The Farmers Brining it in by the Wagon
LoGd.
This is the greatest tobacco year ever
known in Lancaster county, and the
farmers are now bringing their tobacco
in as fast as they can, getting their
money for it and making the streets Of
Lancaster very lively. The Intelllgen D.
Ger says that on Saturday last all the
streets and avenues in the vicinity of
the tobacco warehouses we're crowded
with wagons of all sorts aud sizes, load
ed Sith bales of the seductive leaf
Every wagon had its precious freight
covered with carpets, blankets, quilts,
coffee bags, straw, corn-fodder, hay
or something else to protect it from rain
or sun, as the case might happen to be.
Many of the farmers brought in their
rappers in splendid condition, each bale
being nicely covered with strong wrap
ping paper and some had their wagons
covered with fine carpets that looked
as though they had been taken from the
paIlor floor for that purpose. 1t is i'm
possible to correctly estimate the total
amount of receipts. Atseveral ware
houses much more was received thaa
on last Saturday, but others received
much less, and it is generally believed
that the total weight IS not as heavy as
last Saturdays receipts. There is no
doubt that over 100000 pounds we're
received and paid for at the several city
warehouses.
Herbs &Spiess, Teller Bros, Joseph
q. Myers Sons, Fatman & Co, and
John De Haven, have each received
not less than 100000 pounds; A II.
Scoville & Co, NJ. Oppeuheimer, Bun
zl &DormItzer. John Moore, and Sam
uel Moore. have each received from
10000 pounds to $4,000 & pounds, L.
4 L Wertheimer, Shroeder d Bon,
Skileles & Frey, john S. Rohrer, Ger
shel q Brother, Harry Moore; Charles
Schubertb, and + Guslinsky, have re-
ceived respectively to day from 10 900
to $4,000. Some of thes firms receive
almost every day ID the week, and
titus avoid the trouble that attends
those who receive only one day in the
week During the past week John S.
Rohrer's receipts have been 25O, 900
pounds Skies & Frey's about 20, 900
and E. GusIinsky & Co60,000 There
is still good deal of tobacco being
bought and sold, and prices are we'll
maintained. There remains unsold a
very considerable amount of 1879 to-
baceo though choice lot have become
few and far between, and buyers in
search of them have to drive a good
distance in order to secure them.
Within week or ten days past not
less than 1000 cases of 1873 tobacco
have been sold By local packers.
Most of 1t has been medium or low
grade of goods, for which sorts there is
a much more active demand than for
fine goods.

DEATH OF ISAAC DAVIS.

From the -fshiqnd (Ohio) Press
Isaac Davis was born in New Holland,
Lancaster county, Pa, August 10, 1902.
when quite young he was apprenticed to
learn the art of weaving. In consequence,
his education was neglected, and he could
neither read nor write. At the age of nine-
Teen yesrs, ne went to Juniata county,
where he remained some years working at
his trade. In the year 1923, he married
Miss Fanny Stoner of that county. That
lady survived until 1876, when she died,
aged about 80 years. In 1884 Mr.. Davis
came TO aiffiin town:hip. then in Richland
county, and purchased farm of 80 acres,
in section one, of Benjamin Hershey. The
land at that time was nearly all in It's native
forest. He and his sons, in after years,
cleared the land and reduced it to a state
of excellent culture. Mr.. Davis made weav-
ing business for many years. In this re-
spect he was useful citizen. He was a
good weaver, and by his industry and skill,
made sufficient to support and educate his
sons and pay for his farm. When he ar
rived in Mifilin township, he found John
Hewey, William Hewey, Henry. Roland,
Peter Brubaker, John Brubaker, Sol. Vert
man, Abraham Doty, James Andrews, Leo
nard Croninger, Benjamin Hershey and
Father Gongwer, who had preceded him as
pioneers. Nearly half century has passed
ha arrival oh h.y t.l,
place. Nearly all these pioneers have paid
the debt of nature; only one or two of his
old neighbors yet live. For several months
the health Of Mr.. Davis has been gradually
failing, and finally terminated in consump-
ton OF the lungs. In his prime he weighed
about 800 pounds. He became greatly
emaciated before death. He was a meln-
Der of the +" River Brethren Church" about |
80 years, and was an exemplary christian.
He died on Friday evening, Dec. 18th, 1
1873, and was buried at the Mennonite |
Church, in Mifffin township, on Saturday,
December 10Th.
The family of Mr.. Davis consisted of nine
childieD Susannah, single; Samuel, mar
ried to Catharine Roland; Mary, married
20 Dillman Switzer; George, single; John,
married to Margaret c. lay; Isaac, maj
ried to Sarah Hilburn; Abraham, married to
Mary kagey; William, married to Rebecca

Ter. Mr.. Davis has ~ grandchildrer and
