HIS N~EzGHBoR'S LIGHT

Night on the angry pillows:
And bright from the l%ight-housa ton,o.

To save'from the tempest's power.

So away he sped through the darkness.
TO the mountain peak afar:
And saw through the gloom of the driving

Like the smile Of a beautiful star.
The hcadland lighthouse cleaning
O'er that dangerous lower COAST:

Climbing the crest of the mountain.

From his lighthouse gleaming;-alasl alasi

Faster, and even faster
Down the mountain crags he leaps:
For he knows by the u of the minute.

That down on the rocky sleeps,
Byhts lighthouse dark, is a vessel:
For, with nothing to guide her way,
Before the break of the day.
To his tower Max wildly hurries;
But while the oil he poured
In ms empty lamp, that ship went down,

For many a soul may be shipwrecked
In the tempest and the night,
While those who should cheer and guide
Are watching their neighbours light.

A Litchfield County Sensation.

Death of Mary I. GiddinEs-A TOrring-
 ton Doctor Implicated - The Girls Burial in Waterbury-A Married man
 Arrested-The Doctor Runs Away.
 Considerable excitement is being caused in Torrington by the revelations being made as to the cause of the death of Miss Mary l. Giddings, of Hartland, who died at the resi- dence of Dr. Tiffany on the 18th of last De. cember. The persons who are most imme- diately implicated are Alton B. Holcomb and Dr. Tiffany.
 Alton E. Holcomb, of Granville, Mass., was married about eight years ago to Perlina B. LathSop. of Hartland, and so far as known the union was happy ono. They were blessed with two children. Mrs. Holcomb was always in delicate health, and about 8 year ago was taken to friends in Bridgeport so that she might be under the care of the best physicians.
 About May 1st, 1882, Mary I. Giddings, of Hartland, went to Granville Corners to keep house for Holcomb, and it soon began to be whispered that they were not conducting themselves in proper manner, but MISS Giddings remained until the middle of Octo- Der last, when she went to visit friends ln Hartland. On November 29th Holcomb called for her with horse and carriage at her friends house in Hartland, and he drove with her to Torrington where they put up at the American House, registering as man ana Wne under the name of H. 0. Smith and wife. On the 29th Miss Giddings went to Water bury to visit her sister, who IS scnool teacher in that town, and while there she told her sister of her condition, and that Dr. Tiffany, of Torrington, had promised to help her out of her difficulty and was to meet her there. But Dr. Tiffany did not come on December 4th as he had promised. IsEL l. S1ko Nofo rOTIr and went back to Torrington to the residence of Dr. Tiffany, at which place she remained until her death, which occurred December 18th. Her body was inferred in the Riverside cemetery in Waterbury, much against the wishes or her friends, who desired to have her buried Tn Hartland, where her friends reside and Wnlcn had been her home.
 Nothing was done for some time to ferreG out the cause of her death, though there were suspicious at the time. But recently the matter was placed in the hands of John F. Simmons, of Winsted, who has col Iected the evidence and caused the arrest of Holcomb at Granville, Friday, the 18th of this month. Holcomb is under 3D. 900 bonds for trial, which will come before Justice Joseph Calhoun, of Torrington, Fri day, March 30th.
 When the investigation began Dr. Tiffany got wind of it and suddenly left town, not stopping to take furniture or even his sur gical instruments, and his whereabouts is un known. He has always enjoyed good rep utation, though he was not regular gradu-
