The roses smile through drops OF rain.
The lsng hereafter shall lock back
And glorify the splendid days
Whsn he. through death. walked upright in
The gazs Of Him and mortal gaze.
And bells shall ring. not toll. that he
Has trod the earth-has left his name
And praise shall be the laurel wreath
Encircled round immortal fame.
Brave heart great soul We do not say

Triumphant sings In funeral bell.

In submitting my annual report, q 70.
ouired by law, I have deemed 10 proper
that the taxpayers and citizens should DO
Informed Of the condition Of the town and
its financial standing at the present time.
The finances Of the town are In Q very
healthy condition. considering the extreme
dullness OF business tho past year.
The revenue from the different branches
Of business has been steadily on the DO.
crease tho past year, and the Board Of
Trustees have been governed In expendi-
tures accordingly. Five thousand dollars
Of the town debt have been liquidated.
In the different departments the greatest
care have been taken by the Committees 10
have the running expenses Of the town as
low as they could possibly be mado and
satisfy the citizens at large.
Tho water works and everything oon..
nected with them are In tho very best of
order. Tho Chief Engineer OF the Fire
Department has been very vigilant In look.
ing after the hydrants and mains, and
keeping them In good condition.
The streets have been well attended to
and kept IN good order.
The officers Of the town have been faith
ful and energetic in tho discharge OF their
duties. The police have been vigiiant IN
guarding the interests OF the town and
keeping away suspicious characters who
are always watching for opportunities TO
practice their nefsrious business.
The Fire Department are deserving Of
much praise for the able and efficient man
per In which they have acquitted them
selves on all occasions when their services
were required. ! trust the people OF Gold
Hill will continue to have their interests
guarded In the future by a an efficient
body Of fremen ~ those who have guarded
,hem in the past.
In conclusion, ! would say that our

Letter from Washington.
WAsuryoroS. july Ia. 1854

Mr.. HARPER There is now little
TO fear from the Presidents condition
If the physicians are right III their
opinions. He will be as sound and
strong after brief space rs ever he
was, according to Drs. Bliss, Barnes
and the others. The escape has been
a remarkable one. The President
has been Il great sufferer.
Recognizing the fact that the dam
ger Is past, the National Republican,
stalwart organ, proposes truce be.
tween the factions of the party, the
conditions to be as follows: Oblivion
of past differences between Republi-
cans, and union of all who are OPP
posed to the Democratic party. The
Republican is an amusing paper. Ii,
unfortunately, the Presidents life had
been taken by the assassin, there
would have been union of nearly
all the people to put down sectional
bitterness. In such state of things.
the faction represented by the Repub-
hcan could have had no part. 1T the
President shall fully comprehend the
almost universal feeling at this time
the result will be the same. We do
not see that the 'stalwart' faction has
any part in the future, under any cir
cunlstances. Even before the attack
on the President, that faction was
losing ground. tits hopelessly routed
now. Only in one contingency can it
hope to prolong its existence, and that
Is by aid from the President-suchas
the Republicans now ask for-and
the chance of securing that is so small
us to be not worth considering.
There will hardly be any more
North or South in our politics. That
the next National Republican Con
vention may be held in Montgomery
or Richmond, and the Democratic in
Boston or Cleveland, are not among
the impossibilities of the next four
years. The Republican and like
papers should not ignore significant
current events, or dwell on the past.
They should look forward, not back
ward. That is what people are doing.
OF course existing party lines will not
be obliterated in a day, but new lines
Will soon separate the parties.
In Ohio the Democracy has done
well in platform, in nominations, and
IN It's neat resolutions condemning the
assassination of the President. With
admirable foresight both the platform
and the candidates are so chosen as
to be protests against our late politics.
When we consider what the Legis-
latiOn fiplt i'm New Norl, Iyos obort
II seems a wonder it was kept up after
the 2nd of July, that it should end, if
continued, iii the defeat of ex-senator
COnkling's faction, was certain.
The assassin Guiteau, remains in
close and secure confinement, is still
denied the use Of newspapers and
other means of ascertaining what is
going on i'll the outside world.

A Strange Case. -During the ter
rifle wind and thunder storm, some
two weeks ago, Niles Jennie Kelly,
aged about IS or 20 years, daughter
OF MIR. Joseph Kelly, of Pleasant dis
trict, was affected by lightning, under
the following circumstances:
She was out in field milking.
when discharge Of lightning struck
the bucket she held in her hand, curd-
ling the milk in it, and running up
her arm. She jumped up and gave n
most terrific scream, and after run
ming few yards, fell TO the earth, and
was carried TO her fathers house In
sensible. Ever since, ut regular in'
tervals, she has suffered with severe
and peculiar spasms. They attack
her suddenly. Now it is an arm that
IL drawn with irresistible force into
all imaginable shapes: next, q finger
is twisted then she is attacked with
contortions in the side or chest and
again one side of her face is thrown
into writings. All the time she
remains perfectly sensible; indeed,
when suffering with contortion in
one part of her body, she can antici-
pate where tho attack will be next,
and screams to her attendants, Bind
my fingerr Wrap my armr etc
The force, as we said, is irresistible.
Five strong men could not hold her
arm in place once when she was suf-
fering an attack in that member.

he says-being larger and more lumi-

slow 1t cannot be ascertained rs
yet if 1t is going directly towards or

SCOPE. This is the fourth comet dis.
covered since May 1. DR.. Swift;
thinks that, from the present position
of the comet. it is the expected come.
of 1912. 1t is moving very slowly
toward the northwest. Mr.. Schpbcrlc
puts in n claim for the 5000 Warner
prize.
ROCHESTER,, y. Y, July 1G.-Dr.
Swift, of the Warner Observatory, re
ports that the new comet has probably
not yet passed around the sun, and
that it may increase i'll brightness
enough to be visible to the naked eye.
Its motion is northwest. and it can be
found near Capelia. lie says the next
regularly expected comet is Ericks,
which will probably reappear in the
old constellation Of the Fly the latter
part of this month. The new comet
will afford Observers another opporo
tunity for spectroscopic observations.
A Long Contest Ended. Cumber'
land, Md, July 19.--The CONNECTION
Of the Georges Creek and Cumberland
Railroad with the Baltimore and
Ohio Road at Polk street was put in
to-day, this and the crossing put in
Monday giving the new road access to
the canal. The Baltimore and Ohio
authorities CLAY called Oh the sheriff
of the county and the mayor of Cum
berl nd to protect their property
and tracks, alleging that they feared
the crossing might he torn up. 1t is
understood this arose from Il rumor
that the new roads were not satisfied
with the way the crossing was put in,
and might tear it up and make some
change in the Baltimore and Ohio
tracks in doing so. 1t is stated, how
ever, that this was the result Of mis-
understanding, and that at con-
ference of the officers of both compa.
MES held this evening the matter was
amicably arranged. Probably in a
few days the new road will be sending
coal TO the canal over the crossing
and connection. All is quiet tonight.
