Dorsey, $4,000; under the head of Peck $4,000;
William Smith, $4,000; John Smith, $4,000.
The name of John Smith had been scratched
out and the name of Sam Jones substituted.
The witness said he wrote Sam Jones under

wheu the maple turns TO crimson,
And the ssssafras TO gold;
when the gentian's in the meadow.
Ana the aster on the void
when the noon Is Tapped In vapor,
And tho night is frosty coidi
when the chestnut burrs are opened,
And the acorns drop like hail.
And the drosy afr Is startled,
with the humping OF the fall
with the drumming OF the partridge,
And the whistle Of the quail
Through the rustling woods 1 wander,
Through the jewels Of the year.
From the yellow uplands calling,
Seeking her who Is still dear;
She is near me In the Autumn,
Che, the beautiful, Is near.
Through the smoke OF burning summer,
When the weary winds are still,
! can see her in the valley,
can hear her on the hill.
In the splendor OF the woodlands,
In the whisper OF the rill'
For the shores OF earth and heaven
Meet and mingie in the blue;
She can wander down the glory
To the places that sho knew,
Where tho happy lovers wandered
In the davs when life was true.
so think when days are sweetest.
And the world Is wholly iair.
She may sometim es steal upon me
Through the dimness OF the air,
With the cross upon her bosom,
And the amaranth in her hair.
Once TO meet her, ah to meet her.
And to hold her gently fast
TIL blessed her, till she blessed me
That were happiness at last;
That were bliss beyond our meetings,
In the Autumns OF the past
