rThe following 6ne old ballad is found in
Swiftss works, and has always been ascribed
20 the pen Of the Dean of ST. Patrick 5.
Chambers asserts, on what authority we
know not. that the song is the join, produe-
ton Of Swift, Pope and Gay. IL is worthy OF
that literary triumvirate, but We think that
the honor Of It's composition belongs 10 Swift
alone. Our readers will note the absolute
command Of the language apparent in
every line; the dietion is remarkable for
case, grace and propriety, The wonderful
resources of the language when welded by
Swift are striknglv shown in the unpretend-

Annual Meeting.

Tue New Haven County Bible Society,"
 The annual meeting of the New Haven County Bible society, having been duly notl fled, was held in the parlors of the Center church chapel on Monday, May 9th, 1888, at 12 o'clock m.
 Rev. Edward Hawes D. D., acted as chair man and F. T. Jarman as secretary.
 The reports of the treasurer and deposita- " were read and approved.
 A preamble and resolution adopted at Bible meeting in West Haven last autumn were laid before the society by the executive committee, setting forth that the Connect1- cut Bible society had been placed upon new basis, so that it is now fully competent to take charge of the Bible work throughout the State, and may justly claim, in view or it's history and it's recent efforts, that the contributions of the Connecticut churches shall be sent directly to it's treasurer in Hart ford; thrrefore
 Resolved, That in the judgment of this meeting of friends of the Bible cause it is not expedient that the organization of the New Haven County Bible society should be longer continued.
 Resolved. That this vote be communicated to the executive committee of the New Ha- | ven County Bible society previous to the 1 time of it's annual meeting in May or June | next.
 After 8 careful consideration of the matter | and effecting definite settlement wlth the treasurer and depositary ,and direct the secre, tary to record the doings of the meeting and pass the record books into the hands Of the 1 Connecticut Bible society, the following pre- amble and resolutions were unanimously 1 adopted, viz:
 Whereas, The Connecticut Bible society, te | which this society is auxiliary, is carrying forward Bible work in all parts of the State, and is employing Bible distributors wher- l ever they are needed.
 Whereas, the chief occasion for the exist ence of this society is thus happily suppressed ed, carrying out plan recommended by us | in 1878, therefore
 | Resolved, that we heartily commend the | State Bible society to the confidence and support of the churches and recommend that all money raised for the Bible cause in the
 field of this society be sent to it's treasury
 Resolved, that this society do now pass
 over it's effects to the Connecticut Bible so- | ciety and discontinue it's organization
 The result of this action will give to the
 treasury of the Connecticut Bible society $2OO in money and books to the value of about l &45

 the Situation - Stricter Obligations
 ssA Black BOOk.'
 A special meeting of the Board of Police Commissioners was held last evening, His Honor Mayor Lewis presiding. The report of tbe committee on rules, Commissioners Shel- don and Bollman, was presented. There are a few changes made in the rules which define the duties of the officers and patrolmen more explicitly and making the regulations more stringent. No definite action was taken on them, but suggestions were made and some changes agreed to. If the rules as presented are adopted, they will certainly place the force on more strict line of duty than ever before, provided they are rieidlv enforced The rules provide for daily reports of everything that comes un- der the observation of the patrolmen and in reality provide for "black book'' system in which persons are to be registered who visit policy shops, houses of i'll fame Cor so reputed) or any other places of doubtful character These books are only to be open to the inspection of the proper officers of the department. Other changes of more or less importance are proposed, some of them of a character calculated to improve the morale of the force, while others would appear to have contrary effect. If adopt ed as whole, however, it may be found that some changes will be of advantage to the discipline of the force and if so the commis- sioners will no doubt make the necessary changes
