And, horror stricken, to the house fly.
A scene of desolation greets the eye:
The carpets up, the curtains down, fires out,
Furniture all upset and piled about;
While, back and forth, with heads in towels

With skirts Topped up . foot above the ground,
And arms all barred, fly creatures-can it be

A VIOLENT WIND SToRM,-The wind storm
OF last Saturday was the hardest and of longer
duration than any ever before occurring in this
region Its advent was preceded by violent
thunder storm, with hail at rs A. NJ. Of that
day, during which time an inch and one-half
OF water fell, which go raised the streams that
they carried off the fences, bridges, etc, along
their banks. the appearance of the sun
through the singular atmospheric vapor,
was, in the morning, like white ball. The
same effect was produced on the moon In the
evening. In fact, during the day the atmos-
phere presented very uncommon, hazy.
smoky appearances. The wind storm con-
tinued from its inception until in the night
of Saturday. almost twenty -four hours Of

erable DANA se was done In various ways.

The Desk at Which the Declaration Of
Independence Was Written.

The Hon. Robert c. Winthrop, in the
course of the Centennial Grafton de-
livered by him on the Fourth of July,
1876, in Music Hall, Boston, exhibited
to the audience there gathered the writ
ing-desk upon which the Declaration of
Independence was written, and the
thoughts suggested by this interesting
historical relic formed one of the most
eloquent passages of his Grafton. He
concluded his allusion to this desk with
these words:
Long may it find its appropriate and
approaching ownership in the successive
generations of a family in which the
blood of Virginia and Massachusetts, is
so auspiciouslv commingled. Should it,
in the lapse of years, ever pass from the
hands of those to whom it will be so
precious an heirloom, it could only have
its fit and final place among the choicest
ton, with the above title deeds of indie
pendence it so proudly asserted"
This evening the Hon. Robert C.. Win
throp, who is now in Washington, took
the occasion of a call at the Executive
Mansion to deliver personally to the
President, as gift to the United States,
Inis little InonOSdny ueSk Oh WHICH mr..
Jefferson wrote the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence. It was presented in the name
of the children of the late Mr.. Joseph
Coolidge, of Boston, to whom it was
given BY Jefferson himself in 1925, whose
granddaughter Mr.. Coolidge had mar
ried, and It has an autograph inscription
as follows: Thomas Jefferson gives
this writing-desk to Joseph Coolidge,
Jr., as q memorial of his affection. It
was made from drawing of his own,
by Ben. Randall, cabinet-maker, of Phila-
delphia, with whom he first lodged on
his arrival in that city, in May, 1776,
and the identical one on which he wrote
the Declaration of independence. Poll
tics as well as religion has its supersti-
tons; these gaining strength with time,
may one day give imaginary value to
this relic for its association with the birth
of the great charter of our independ-
ence.v 1t is probable that this desk will
be deposited in the fire-proof library of
the State Department, where is kept the
original draft of the Declaration, written
on this desk Washington Cor. Boston

We All Have IL Now.

Spring fever. How 1t settles down ON
us. The rays of the sun come TO us at
Just the right slant, warming our system
into q delicious desire for rcpose; the
soil, easily yielding to the pressure Of
our foot, frost all out of It. and the sum-
mer's heat not having baked It into
hardness, tempts US to stroll; the green,
CHEEKY appearance of the short blades Of
young grass is so restful to the eye; to
be inside four walls Is such bore when
the birds are striking up their overture
to natures divine opera of summer, that
we feel as though we should like 70 lean
against the south side of fence, pull
our hat over our eyes, and white and
stretch and yawn all day long. D. the
spring fever Is the LATEST, incest dis
ease ever invented by man, and medi-
cine, thank heaven! can't cure it.

Carhart's Expulsion.

Especial Dispatch to The Sentinel
APPLETON, Oct 81 The allah
sorbing topic of conversation among
the members of the conference, as
we'll as outsiders, to-day, has been the
final outcome of the Carhart trial
After eight days Of almost continuous
labor the case of Carhart was given
over to the committee at 7 o'clock last
night. After the committee had been
out nearly all night verdict was finally
reached, and it is briefly stated thus /:
OF the four charges preferred against
Carhart by Mr.. Haddock, for dishon-
esty, perjury, lying, and for immoral
and unchristian conduct, all are unan-
imously sustained but the last, and
this by vote Of fourteen to one. Of
the twenty specifications under these
charges, sixteen are sustained. This
verdict expels Carhart from the con-
ference and the ministry. Public
opinion favors the verdict. The
scene at the close of the reading of
the report, when it was seen that Mr.
Carhart was guilty Of all the sins of
which he had been accused, was one
of sorrow and bitter remorse, yet the
members feel relieved that the case is
ended, and that the guilty has not es-
capped punishment. Mr.. Haddock,
who has stood so persistently by his
charge against Carhart when reproach
and calumny has been hurled against
him by his opponents and enemies
throughout the state, receives the
thanks of his many brethren.

FROM THE CAPITOL CITY.

NIL" AIl9 |LAL l. Il OAI
The great event transporting in this
city since my last communication was
the Republican demonstration on last
Saturday evening. over the results OF
the election in Indiana and Ohio. 1t
was one Of the greatest political DEM
onstrations ever witnessed in this city.
The procession was forty-three minutes
in passing the republican head quar-
tiers and as nearly every man was pro
vided with either torch or a chinese
lantern it was beautiful sight to see
them marching four abreast up Penn
svlvania Avenue. The Wisconsin Re
publican Associations was fully repre-
scented with its president, A. I. Long
ley, acting as marshal They carried
one of the best transparencies in the
procession. 1t had enscrlbed on the
ends, WISCONSIN Republican Associ-
alton and on one side was Barnum's
forlorn looking mule with the ''Solid
South, 13S votes attached to its tail
and carrying on its back the sickest
looking rooster ever portrayed on cam
vas. On the opposite side was wis
consin good for $4,000 Republican
majority" The greatest attraction OF
the evening was the representation of
the canal boat, "Evening Star" (the
boat General Garfield was driver for in
his younger days) drawn by seven
mules named Barnum, Butler, For
ncy, Mullett Sickels, Hadley and
Wade Hampton. On the stern of the
coat was transparency Bound d.
rect to the White House" There
were over forty different Republican
organizations engaged in the celebra-
ton. They marched through the
principle streets to the City Hall
where fine speeches were made by
Hon. Jay A. Hubbell, chairman of
the Congressional Republican Com
mittee, Secretary Thompson, Secreta-
ry Devens and others. The vast null
titude stood and listened to them until
nearly midnight.
On Monday evening there was an
other grand turn out to sercnade Sec
rotary Sherman upon his return from
Ohio where he had been to aid the
good cause by his excellent speeches
and by his vote, but the greatest aid
he has rendered the country is his ad-
mirable management of the financial
department of the government where
by specie payment has been adopted
and a prosperous condition Of business
the result thereof. Upon the arrival
Of the procession at the Secretary S
house speeches of welcome were made
by Secretary Devens and others to
which the Secretary replied. In ref
erenee to the causes of the great vic
tory in Indiana and Ohio he said:
The first of all was the great pros
perity that attended and followed the
success of republican, financial meas
ures. The resumption of specie pay
ments was bitterly opposed at every
stage by the democratic party. While
