The committee on subscriptions for the Levi Bronson fund is meeting with good success, our citizens responding with much iberality. There was 8 member of the committee appointed in each school district. The list for this district when we go to press has reached over $500.
 The fair of St. Joseph's Catholic church of this place is now in full tide of successful experiment at Town Hall It will continue during the week and bids fair to be great success. Miss Shields and Miss Colligan are competing for gold watch, and judging from tI ) number of votes they receive and tEe skill with which they manage the can vass, they would make good politicians and there is no telling to what posi- tions they might not successfully aspire.
 A communication from we'll known Canaan lady, contains the following: cone day last week we noticed 8 large load of young girls riding through the streets apparently very happy. The question was asked ''what it all meant, !" and the answer was, "It is Mrs. Levi Beckly's Sunday School class; she has enticed them to her home in the form of picnic" If other teachers would follow her example in inviting their scholars to their homes, or in visiting them at their home, they would not have occasion so often to wonder where all of their absent scholars are. It means great deal to be successful teacher of Sunday School"

POEM. Read at the annual reunion of tn, 'th Regiment, Connecticut Volunteers Sept. 1st, by comrade Stephen Walkle. 'f Southington, Conn Terry had little lamb
 In sixty-one, you know, And everywhere that Terry went, The lamb was sure to go. It followed him to school one day Against Pulaskis rule, The way they made projectiles play Broke up that little school. And 80 the teacher turned him out, And made him brigadier, And slid him up another notch In each alternate year. Hawlsy had little lamb,
 Which was not very slow, And everywhere they had fight, That lamb was sure to go. He followed him to Olustee.
 But found he could not stay, And so the little lamb marched back, Full forty miles day. He led him to Virginia's woods, For many weary mile, And there in front ofPetersburg He pastured him awhile. And when the lamb put down his head, And shook his angry tail, And shot from out 8 thousand eyes A storm of leaden hail. And when the rebels charged on him, He answered back so strong, They said the colonel wound him up, And fired him all day long. The teacher sent for Hawley there, And made him brigadier, He said such men should wear the stars, And there his head was clear. Rodman had little lamb
 Just eighteen years ago, And where Dan Rodman led the way, The lamb was bound to go. He led him to Wagner's crest, On Morris sandy shore, But there with canister and grape They cudgelled hlm full sore. When Rodman fell with shattered limb He brought him safely away. So brave and pluckey Rodman lived To fight another day. The rebel cannon turned him out, They said twas very clear, 'Twould never do to give the Seventh Another brigadier. Atwell had little lamb
 As some of you may know, Though cleft in twain, upon one half Another half did grow. He led him where Fort Fisher reared Its threatening ramparts, tall, When 10 up rose the gentle lamb, And scaled the bastion wall. Soon Atwell and the lamb cut short Their soldierly careers, For Uncle Sam had no more use For any brigadiers. Why loves the lamb his leaders so, Those brave commanders fourp The les aers love the lamb you know, And love the flag he bore. But ah l the lamb no more may lay His head on Rodman's arm, Removed from need of earthly care, And safe from earthly harm. His suffering form is laid to rest, We miss his kin fly eye, His cordial grasp, his quiet word Suffused with modesty. r- But let us hope that though unseen, He holds us now in view, Caressing hands, and thrilling hearts, With tender thoughts and true. And the great Father of us all, Help us like him to prove, By loyal hearts and ready hands How we our country love.

A LITTLE DEER ADVENTURE.

A story is told of l.. l.. Culver about
a little experience he had in the woods
at his camp on the Kawkawlin river
on Tuesday. 1t seems Mr.. Culver arose
very early that morning--long before
the sun shone forth. He was walking
along pathway when the barking @,
wolves was family heard in the dir
tance. The terrible bowling became
nearer and nearer and then suddenly
died away. He proceeded along for -
distance, when, to his surprise, a large
doe jumped from the opposite bank of
the stream to the ice. Its neck was
lacerated and torn, it's legs cut apss
bleeding, and the animal appeared as
if 1t had been having a severe chase.
Catching sight of Mr.. Culver it ad-
vanced toward him and sho wed fight
Mr.. G. did not know what to make Of
the deer's queer actions and began to
move backward. He had no revolver
or weapon with which to defend him
self and only his legs to depend upon,
yet he argued that he would easily be
overtaken If he undertook to escape.
There were plenty of trees around.
but to climb them, he might as well
tIy w ny. LII ltss tifut t1dn ~ tdhee
TO tell it Mr.. Culver decided to fight il
out right there and then. If that deer
wanted to walk over his corpse. it must
first do little battling. Grasping q
club he stood his ground. The aggrs-
waited doe seeing him, advanced eau
tiously and halted within a few feet
of him. Her bleeding neck and limbt
were plainly visible i'm the morning
light, and l.. l.. didn't like the idea Of
being daubed with blood; SO after
sizing her up" he concluded to await
her attack. For ten long and painful
minutes the man and deer eyed each
other. Well, the deer concluded t0
postpone operations and as daylight
dawned she quietly strutted away
There is one man in Bay City who in
tends arniing himself TO the teeth here
after when on trip up the Kawkaw.
