have reason to believe that the rum0red be-

Crown Prince of Germany, to Princess Augusta
Victoria, daughter of the late Duke of Augusten-

received very quietly here as it appears that the
bigwigs at Court would have preferred to
see Prince William allied to one of the
reigning families Of Europe. The Prince
was born In 1850 and is consequently twenty-0ne
years OF age. HIS future bride is three months

Underneath their eider-robe
Russet swede and golden globe,
Feathered carrot. burrowing deep,
Stesdfast wait in charmed sleep;
Treasure-houses wherein lie,
Locked by angels alchemy,
Milk and HAIR, and blood, and bone,
Children of the barren stone;
Children of the flaming Air.
With bis blue eye keen and bare,
Sprit-peOpled, smiling down
On frozen field and boiling town
Boiling town that will not heed
God His voice for rage and greed:
Frozen fields that surpliced lie,
Gazing patient at the sky:
Like some marble carven nun,
With folded hands when work is done,
Who mute upon her tomb doth pray,
Till the resurrection day.

Yale's First Victory.

Yale Defeats WOrcester-ScOre II to ?.
 The Yale nine played their first game for the season of 1880 yesterday at Hamilton Park, defeating the Worcester league team in six innings by score of II to 7.
 cold wind swept across the field, making it equally disaerseable for players and specta- tors, and causing the error column to foot up large score. Nichols pitched for the woroesters, Richmond playing center field. The catching of Keenan, who played behind the bat for Yale, was especially fine, and drew forth the frequent applause of the spectators.
 Yale lost the toss and went to bat, but failed to score in the first inning. The Worcssters went out in one, two, three order and closed the inning without scoring. In the second inning Yale got on to Nichols and scored five runs and again retired the Worcestsrs in striking order. In the third inning Yale failed to score, while their opponents made three runs. Yale again scored two in the fourth innings and again retired their oppo- nents Tn the fifth the Worcesters began to get in their work and scored four runs, Yale nothing. The sixth and last inning was repetition of the second, Yale scoring four runs, the Worcesters none. The first half of the seventh did not change tho score, and as Manager Bancroft of the Worcssters desired to catch the 5:3O train, the game was called at this point, leaving Yale victorious in her first contest Below Is the full score:

RDcath of 8 Prominent Hartford Man.
 Hartford loses one of it's old and universally esteemed Christian citizens in the death of Erastus Collins, who died at his residence on Asylum avenue yesterday, aged 65. For the greater part of the winter he had suffered from an organic difficulty of tho heart, which had become during the last month exoruci- atingly painful in the struggle it caused for breath. He was prominent and trusted man in Hartford interests. He was a director in the Etna Fire Insurance Company, and, as chairman of it's building committee, he built the present fine brown stone structure of that company on Main street north of the lofty Charter Oak Life building. He was also director and vice president of the Hartford Gas-Light Company; director of the Hart ford Hospital; director of the American Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb an active and valuable School Visitor; one of the pro- pristors of the Hartford and Wethersfield Horse Railway Company; projector of the noble Cedar Hill Cemetery; leader in the Young Mems Institute (now the Hartford Library.) He was also large owner of gas stock and horse railway shares, as well as railroad shares, which are not taxed. He paid taxes on $122, 900, and was probably worth $500, GOO.
