one of the workers of the world
Living toiled and toiling died;
But others worked and the world went on,
And was not changed when he was gone
A strong arm stricken, wide sail furled,
And only few men sighed.
one OF the heroes of the world
Fought 10 conquer, then fought TO fail,
And fell down slain in his blood-sIained mail
And over his form they step;
His cause was lost and his banner furled,
And only woman wept.
one of the singers among mankind
Sang healing songs from an o'erwrought hear
But ere men listened the grass and wind
We're wasting the rest unsung like wave;
And now of his fame that Will neer depart
He has never heard in his grave
one Of The women who only love
Loved and grieyed and faded away
An, me are these gone 10 the God above?
What more of each can say
They are human flowers that fower and fall
This Is the song and the end of them all.

Do not thou TOO deeply search
Why thou loy'st me now,
Perhaps by some command
Sent earthward from above,
Thy heart was doomed TO lean Oh mine

Why ask. when JOY doth smile,
From what bright heaven II fell
Men mar the beauty Of their dreams

A sleigh, load of church people
from East Hickory, met with quite a
misbap while returning home from
this place one night last week. Their
team got over the bank about mile
above Tubbs Run, and it was impos.
sible for them to extricate one of the
horses. They were obliged, after re.
peated and unsuccessful efforts to get
their rig in shape, to call on
Mr.. George Sibbald, three miles above
this place, and get him to haul them
home. The next day-one of the
horses being still over the bank-they y
hitched to him with block and tackle,
but before they succeeded in getting
him into the road he gave up the
ghost. We understand the owner of
the animal has brought an action
for damages against the road com.
missioness of Tionesta township for
the death of his steed.

in this State in which a case of this
kind would occur. Let it be a warn

obliged to pay damages. If we have

"THEM 'LEcTIoNs."


The township and borough elections
came off yesterday, and were the
quietest and most earnestly contested
of any held in this place for several
years. On Saturday night last the
greenbackers met in secret-in regular
old Nothing style-and nominated
a straight-out greenback ticket. They
must have sworn every man to secrecy,
as it was an utter impossiblity to get
them to tell who had been nominated
or whether a nomination had been
made at all or not. They were simply
the dumbest set we ever saw. They
had their instructions from the ring
leaders, and had to act accordingly.
Well, this action on the part Of the
greenbackers looked, to tho casual OBJ
server, just little bit hoggish, and
had the eject to arouse the ire of the
citizens somewhat, and they, therefore,
concluded to meet at the Court House
on Monday evening and place in nom
iustion a ticket which they need not
be ashamed Of, and they did. Tuesday
morning came and, having "marshaled
their forces" the greenbackers marched
upon the enemy 80 votes strong,
and were going to take the fort by
storm. They fought bravely all day,
but were obliged to retire from the
field a badly whipped set, electing but
ono Of their candidates-that of in
spector of clection-which was on
account of mistake on the part of
the citizens in voting for two, all those
tickets being thrown out.
Lack of time and space prevent
further comments on the result ;
suffice it to say, the green hackers we're
laid out, not because they didn't have
good men on their ticket, but because
of their greedy actions, and lamenta-
bic scarcity of votes. 1t might be
well enough to state also that the little
game OF one or two democrats in
putting straight democratic ticket IN
the field in order to help along the
greenbackers, didn't work worth a
cent either.
The ticket as elected is as follows.

 bard of MiddletOWm.
 The semi-monthly meeting of the New Ha- ven County Farmers Club was held in Shef- field Hall yesterday afternoon. The president, J. J. Webb, presided and invited discussion. He suggested the topic of sorghum, which was at present exciting con- thought that general discussion of the entire question would be had at the first meeting in April, when gentlemen would be present who could ably discuss the subject. President Webb said that at the first meeting in March, which would be on the 9th of the month, J.B. A1cott. Esq.,, the agricultural editor of the Hartford Courant, would read 8 paper on s'Weeds and Wedding"
 J. M Hubbard, of Middletown, was then introduced. and proceeded to read paper on tsFarm Improvements" He advocated farm improvements, the use of the best methods, great care as to proper drainage, and offered various suggestions on that point as to re- discarded where new ones are better The speaker devoted a few thoughts to the drainage of land, removal of stones and stumps, and tllage as very necessary things. AS to fertilizers, much money was here wasted from imperfect knowl edge of the subject. proper suf6ciency was the desideratum. The only way to know what our farms are worth is to go to work and de. velop them. On this point the speaker dwell few minutes. There is often great waste in Iabor-hired help. The end sought must be kept in view. Few farmers but could af ford to make improvements. If 8 surplus of profit remained put it into the farm if il needs it. The farmer must educate himself. Agricultural colleges are failure as far al making good farmers is concerned. Witt many other thoughtful suggestions the speak CT closed He was given vote of thanks.

Police Commissioners.

Tine Trial or PafrOlmam Gilbert-F0umd
 Guilty and Dismissed from the Force.
 The Police Commissioners held a special meeting last evening to hear evidence in the case against Patrolman Anthony J. Gilbert, who was suspended by the Chief for gross neglect of duty in visiting Kapitzke's bakery on West Water street on several different occa- sions while on duty, said bakery being of the beat of the officer.
 The witnesses against the accused were Roundsmen Smith and Selleck, both of whom testified that on several occasions they had seen Officer Gilbert enter the bakery at about o'clock in the morning and remain there from to 15 minutes at time.
 In his own behalf Officer Gilbert testified that he went to this place because he had been requested to do so by Mrs. Kapitzke and oth- CTS living in the vicinity who had things stolen on several occasions. He was corrobo- rated in his testimony by John Schweilli. who lived near the bakery, and by Eugene O'Neli who worked at the bakery.
 After hearing the evidence the Board went into executive session, and when the doors were re-opened it was announced that they had found the officer guilty and dismissed him from the force.
