A Farewell.

Farewell, days and months, and
years 40 e
Farewell, thoughts, and hopes, and
fears
Farewell, old delight and woe
Farewell, self Of long ago
In the old familiar place r..
Time sped on at slower pace
Past recall indeed you lie,
Days, and months, and years gone by,
Shuts US out forevermore.
Farewell, house--ro more our home
Others, In the years to come,
Hither honeward will return
On the hearth their fires will burn
Children that we not know
Gather round the blithesome glow
Other feet wi" tread the stair,
Other guests be welcomed there.
We, whose home 1t was before,
Shall be strangers evermore
May be, In the year TO come,
Past the house our feet may roam
Over all subtle change
Will have stolen and made II strange,
And the house we leave to-day
Will have vanished quite away.
In this houses joy and care
We shall have no lot nor share
And all our life herein will seem
Like half-forgotten dream.
We shall be as ghosts, that roam
Lingering round their ancient home,
II our feet pass evermore
Near the old familiar door.
Farewell, days, and months and
years,
Farewell, buried hopes and fears
Wheresoe'er our footsteps stray,
Whether long or brief our stay,
Whatsoever good we find,
Many graves we leave behind,
80, farewell, old JOY and pain,
We shall never know again
Farewell, all things that we leave
Surely life and warmth must cleave
To the house when we are gone,
Can 1t empty seem, aud lone.
When the echoes of the years,
Hopes and joys, and griefs and fears
Scarce have died from roof and wall ?
Surely ghostly steps will fall
On the bare dismantled floors,
Gliding in at open doors,
Fitting up and down the stair,
Willnot shadows wander there
Shades more vague than shadows are.
Or than ghosts that break deaths bar?
Sure our wraiths, when we are gone,
OFT will haunt the chambers lone
Come to seek (ah ne'er to flnd)
All the years we leave behind.
Farewell, house, forevermore
Farewell, old familiar door
Farewell, home-yet no, not So
Home goes with us where we go

THE ROCKPORT MURDER.

Gross and Richards Still Telling Contra
dictory Stories.
RocKLAND, July 1.-the Richards boy still
maintains his story that he did not see Willie
Cain on the afternoon of his death, but tod ay
he said that on the afternoon in question he
went scross the pond in a punt for berries &C.
compauied by Gross and two boys named Hills
and Wentworth, that when they returned all
four and fifth boy named Fitzgerald went in
bathing, after which he went home. Gross
told similar story but said Cain was BE- thing
with them also, and afterwards Richards, Cain
and himself went out in punt toward the
middle of the pond by some lily pads and
while Cain was standing on the thwart Rich
ards pushed him overheard, but he thinks he
intended TO push him down into the bottom of
the boat. He says Hills, Wentworth and
Fitzgerald saw them start but that they went
home before the drowning. Gross stories vary
so and his manner is such no confidence is
placed in what he says.
Capt Floyd of Portland, submarine diver,
completed today three days search of the
pond. in which he went over the whole bottom
pretty thoroughly without finding the body,
and is inclined to believe it is not there, al
though it is possible. Part of the bottom is
very thickly covered with eel grass, and por-
ton has very soft, muddy bottom. Twelve
ice picks were found, some of them imbedded
all but few inches.

Death from Asiatic Cholera.

PHILADELPHIA, July 19.-Another death
from cholera, across the river in New Jersey,
has given rise to fear among physicians that
the disease may become epidemic if strict at
tention to sanitary matters is not enforced by
the board of health. The Rev. Timothy
Thorney, 81 years DID, died on Sunday after
an illness of eleven hours, which was accom-
panied by all the well-known symptoms of
true Asiatic cholera. DIR. j. V. Schenck, one
of the most eminent physicians in Camden,
who had experience in the epidemics of 1849
and 1866 was called upon to attend the pa
tient on Tuesday morning and was forced to
conclude that he was afflicted with something
more serious than cholera morbus. 81 am not
an alarmist," said the doctor last evening,
"and dislike very much to appear in the
light of anything approaching one; but can
didly speaking Mr.. Thorney's case was synon-
ymous with that of James Dunn, who died
few weeks ago of Asiatic cholera. I fear that
both cases were due to atmospheric influences
and not to carelessness in Diet" DIR. Marcy,
another well-known physician, was of the
opinion that the cases mentioned might be the
forerunners of epidemic, although he de-
preeated the idea of expressing such an opin-
ion through the newspapers. Mr.. Thorney
has been a wel-known and highly respected
clergyman in the Methodist church for the last
sixty years.

Bloody Fight Among Indians.

LITTLE Rock, Ark :, July 1S-Greenleaf, a
small village in the G herokee nation, about so
miles west of Fort Smith, was the scene last
Saturday of one of the most horrible tragedies
ever enacted on even that sanguinary spot.
The Creek and Cherokee Indians held a bar
becue on that day, preparatory to nominating
takes place on next Monday. AS usual on
such occasions, whiskey flowed freely as
mythical milk and honey flows in the Prom
ised Land. Among those present were two
full-booded Indians, Bill Lovett and Deer
Track. Between these two persons aud two
half-breeds named General Grant and James
Satterwaite, deadly feud existed, and when
whiskey began to circulate trouble commenced
brewing. In a tit of frenzy Deer Track made
onslaught on General Grant Fighting be-
came general Immediately, and a hundred
knives and pistols flashed in the sunlight. The
combatants seemed like infatuated demons
and fought with desperation. Knife clashed
against knife, and occasionally a navy six
rang out. The fighters neither gave nor asked
quarter. For two hours bloody conflict
ragged. At its close seven dead and score of
wounded attested its bitter and deadly earnest
ness. The ful-blood faction remained mas
tiers of the field, and with their usual sayagery
began the work of mutilating the dead bodies
of their enemies The heads of Jim Satter-
waite and his father were severed from their
bodies and were carried on poles in a process
sion The bodies of the other victims were
horribly mutiated. No arrests have been
made, nor are the authorities endeavoring to
make any arrests.

friends. when one Ct them told him that was
the time the President was shot, and brought
him to the District Attorneys office, where he
