THE END.

A wasp flew ont upon our fairst son,
And stung him to tlie quick with poisono'
shaft,
The while he ehaitcd carelessly and laughed
And knew not Of the faiefnl mischief done.
And so this life, amid oar love begun,
by the insects hellish craft.
Was drunk by Death in one long severisl
draueht.
And he was lost - our preeio'is, price.cs
onel
Oh, mystery of blind, remorseiess fate
Oh, cruel end of most causeless hate
That life 50 mean should murder life 5,
great
What IS there left 10 US who think and feel
Who have no remedy, and no appeal,
But damn the wasp and crush him nnde
heel?

n LONG DRANCH, oeDteiHDSI ~
4The following is an official list Of
sthose present at the time General
gGarfeld ceased breathing: Drs,

9Miss Mollie Garfield. General Swain,
sColonel and Mrs. Rockwell, Miss
6Lulu Rockwell, DR.. Boynton, ].

4 DR.. Bliss stood at one side of the
2bed and Mrs. Garfield leaning on
sMr. Browns arm stood opposite.
SThe Others were grouped near the
3hedside. Miss Mollie Garfield be-
Sgan to sob and General Swain led
Finer away. Mrs. Garfield stood qui-
tetly, the tears rolling silently down
sher cheeks, only deep sigh escap-
ged once or twice. When all was
eoyer Mrs. Garfield turned to Mr.!
Brown, grasped his hand and said ;
III shall depend on you" Mrs.
Rockwell then put her arms about
sI,er and LED her from the room.
It is now said and believed by
sthosc who know her that Mrs. Gar
Fields life is in danger ard that sne
5will not long survive her husband.
sCourageous rs she seemed, she has
lIier feelings under control at an
enormous strain, and the reaction
scannot fail to come This tension
/ was begun when she was already i'll
sand only beginning TO recover from
5what had been feared would be a
Natal illness. The terrible summer
lin Washington with its uninterrupt-
led worry, trouble and excitement,
Ileaves her in no condition to with
stand nervous reaction. She wept,l
however, long, silently and freely
?as she sat on the bed beside the,
dead body of her husband after
midnight, which was the best im-'
mediate relief.
How unexpected such sudden1
death was shown from the fact thatI
|not twenty minutes before the pain'
attacked the President a telegram
Twas sent the Garfield boys, telling
them their father was better and
,tfey need not come on.
The remains Of the President were,
Hast night placed in charge ofa local
|undertaker. A New Yc-k under;
|taker was telegraphed ior. and hel
Iarr1yed this morning and will have,
charge of the remains.
Many incidents of the Prssident'sI
life were recalled by the Presidents
friends, among them that his DEATH
had occurred on the anniversary of
.of the bravely fought battle of Chic-|
|amauga, when General Garfield wonI
|his spurs.

The Elmira Telegram, in noticing the re-
suit of divorce suit in which Mrs. PENNY
of Tioga county, n. Y, was plaintiff, refers
to parties who figured in the courts of this
county a few years since. 1t says: SIN
January, 1878, unfortunately for her, the
plaintiff in the above case, married this man.
She resided at Barton at the time, and main
tained a good reputation in social circles.
Soon after their marriage PENNY went from
bad to worse, deserting his brive, taking up
his abode with disreputable woman in the
immediate neighborhood of Chemung, where
they so cruelty treated the little child taken
from the Orphans Home of this city, that
they were arrested, tried and sentenced to a
years Imprisonment in the Towanda jail.
Being released he continued his downward
career, being an inmate of three or four more
jails and finally bringing up in States prison.
PENNY is well connected, of respectable par
cntage and was educated at the Waverly
Academy. He is criminal from pure cuss-
edness, not from circumstances or necessity,
and his wife is we'll rid of his miserable pres
ence. She is modest appearing little woman
and is deserving of the sympathy of the COM
munity in her unfortunate alliance with this
man. PENNY's time, it is said, has about
expired, and he will soon be released.
