The Watcher in the Pew.

BURLINGTON Hawkeye.
His neck is fitted ON a globe-socket, and
turns clear around. He sees everything that
goes on. The man who comes in late does
not escape him, and it is vain for the emo
to think he got that little note to the alto,
conveyed between the leaves of a hymn-book,
unobserved. The watcher saw it. He sees
the hole in the quarter that Elder Skinner
dropped in the plate. He sees that Deacon
Slowboy has but one cuff. If the door
swings, he looks around; if the window
moves noiselessly, he looks up. He sees
the stranger in his neighbours pew, and he
sees Brother Badman, sitting away back I'M
der the gallery, furtively take a chew of the
inhibited fne-cut. All things that nobody
wants him to see. the watcher sees. He sees
so much that he has no time to listen.

The organization called Knights OF Labor
seems to be loboriously earning a different
name. 1t is supporting the glass-workers at
Pittsburg in their prolonged strike, which
gives increased employment to labor in Eu-
rope, and taxes every man who buys a pane
of w~indow-glass here, without justification
or hope of success. Now the Knights, being
entirely benighted, resolve to petition Con-
gress to prevent the importation of labor
contracted for abroad. Having gained the
shelter of this country themselves, these
men want to shut the door against fellow
Iaborers whom they have left behind in
Europe.

READING FOR THE SABBATH
The New Year,

The New Year.
It's coming, boys,
It's almost here;
It's coming, girls,
The grand new year,
A year TO lie glad in,
Not to be bad in;
A year to live in,
To gain and give IN;
A year for trying.
And not for signing;
A year for striving,
And hearty thriving;
a bright new year,
o! hold IL dear;
For God, who sendeth,
He only lendeth.

Councilman Glass was on hand last
night with another report on the finan-
cial condition of the city, which differed
materially from the report made by him
on the same subject just one week ago.
He may possibly get 1t right if he works
at 1T all summer, but that is doubtful.
The purpose of Mr.. Glass in trumping
up these eccentric statements is, we
learn, to defeat the proposition to reduce
the taxes in this city by reason of the
revenue derived from the Scott law. If
he perseveres long enough in this course
he may hear something to his disadVan-
tage.-[ Repository.
What does this threat meanP Cannot
an honest member of the council of Can
ton do his conscientious duty without
being threatened with something to
his disadvantage? The star route or
gan is putting on airs of authority.
Mr.. Class has got the statement right
and it is certified to by City Clerk
Grimes who is a competent authority
and knows whereof he states. The Clerk
says the first statement did not include
the interest on the entire Indebtedness.
This accounts for the increase of $4,000
in the last statement. In all other re-
spects the two statements agree.

Does 1t hope in this way to capture the

Henry Serfass, of near Clinton, brake
man on coal train on the c., A. & G. r.
R., met with horrible accident yesteT-
day morning, at the Fox Lake switch.
He was sitting fast asleep about rod
from the track, dreaming, he says, that
the engine was going to run over him,
when he gave spring to, as he thought,
get out of the way, and fell right across
the track in front of the rapidly ap-
preaching engine, which ran over him,
cutting off both hands and his right
foot This accident is extremely sad,
but no blame can be attached to any one.

The alarm of fire on Tuesday, yester-
day, at 11:30 forenoon, was caused by
the burning of Abe Eitnier's barn, on
Ninth streets, west of High. The cause
of the fire is unknown. The alarm soon
brought out the entire fire department,
and the fire was soon squelched. Dam
age about 5000. The roof was nearly
gone before the fire was noticed. 1t was
full of hay, which of course was ruined.
Chief LathrOp prevented Harry Miller
from pulling the building down, to
which the hooks we're already attached.
The frame will need new rafters and
roof and then be as good as ever.
