Tom Bowling.

Here sheer hulk lies poor Tom Bowling.
The darling Of our crew
No more he'll hear the tempest howling,
For death has brought him to.
His form was of the manifest beauty:
His heart was kind and soft
Faithful below, he did his duty,
But now he's gone aloft
Tom never from his word departed,
His virtues were so rare
His friends were many and true hearted,
His Poll was kind and fair.
And then he'd sing so blithe and jolly
All, many's the time and oft
But mirth is changed to melancholy.
For Tom is gone alott.
Yet shall poor Tom find pleasant weather
When he who all commands.
Shall give, to call life's crew together,
The word to pipe all hands,
Thus death. who kings and tars dispatches
In vain Toms life has dotfed
For though his body S under hatches.
His soul is gore aloft lCharles Dlbdin.

Dennysvle ranks as one Of tho best towns in
the State for wheat raising. Marine substances
such as sea weed, rock weed, mussel weed and the
like are much used as fertilizers correspon-
dent of the Home Farm says that the average
yield in the town in 1873 was over twenty seven
bushels per acre, 700 bushels being raised in all
In 1879, the average was thirty bushels, and 900
bushels were raised. Several raised forty bushels
per acre, and one forty eight bushels. Where
such crops of wheat can be raised there is profit
in wheat raising, and increased attention should
be given to it. All along sea board marine
substances in almost unlimited quantities can be
obtained, and might be used to increase the wheat
product

The outlook for those who have pension cases
pending IN Washington IS not encouraging The
number Of eases now on tile, to be acted upon is
said to be about 600 600 and this number is daily
increased by new applications. 4 correspondent
of the Washington Gazette gives it as his opinion
formed from observation and experience that it
would take twelve years, from this date with the
present working force of the Pension office, under
existing laws, to examine intelligently and decide
upon the great number OF cases now on file there
in. One great drawback to the prompt transaction
of business in the Pension office a the number of

doing had his left hand terribly lacerated The
cat then fastened its angs in his left foot and in
