Where's CrOsbie.

On last Monday night the New
Lexington Jail was opened by
keyes obtained from the turn
key, and a prisoner under con-
viction of murder in the second
degree was liberated.
The escaped prisoner, a man
named Clifford was convicted of
being a party in the Hicky lynch
ing case at Corning, and had
been found guilty of marder in
t. e second degree, and was kept
for months in Jail. that whole
some place, awaiting the royal
convenience of the Court TO SEN
tnnce him.
The Irishman imprisoned for
the McDivitt affair. although de-
manding in eloquent petition by
the best men of the county, re-
lease from the pestilential prison,
refused to go out when the doors
stood open for their escape.
Crosbie, the political traitor
and figure head Sheriff will now
write an advertisement for the
Republican paper and Governor
Hoadley may be expected to is
sue a proclamation in favor of
more rights and more privileges
to the niggers.
The decent men in Jail at New
Lexington seem to be unable to
get relief. The convicted crimi
nal has the doors opened for him
by an officer of the law.
There is a curious state of af-
fairs up on that New Lexington
hill top, and some of these days
Cincinnati will be to pay.
Sheriff Crosbie is the response
bic man. When he selects a re-
publican paper as his organ, and
chooses a drunken man as his
turnkey he developes a spirit of
treachery to his party and a de-
gree of incompetency as an off
GER that should burn bushes tf|
shame and humiliation upon the
faces of the good people of Per.
~ c-unty.
There ought to be door open
I'd for Orosbie and his staff to es-
,ape from.

end OF I course DuC tnat l may
know more. 1t is preparatory to
self-help. You might as well ask
the husbandman why he plows
and pulverizes the soil-the only
question with the farmer would
seem to be, to get the seed there
with a little ground over it.
You might as we'll go into the
forest aea "a axman, why
all this lining and hewing of TIM
bers?" He would answer you,
sit is for the, kings palace p'-
This is to make you a man or
woman-a nobler object than
any palace. This Is the summit
Of living. What sort of living is
it, never to have a thought that
reach S beyond yourself! What
sort of living is it to look into
the faces of men and women and
see the strife of good and evil
that goes on there, fiercer than
war ever fought on any field, and
see nothing of interest because
1t does not concern yourself!-
What sort of living is It. to look
on Earth and Sky touched by the
Divine, and see no particular
good or beauty in these things
because you cannot bring them
into your households and make
them yorr own! l ask. what
8 'rt of living is it not to feel tie
god-like powers that each one
Pt,ssessesSand in the reach of
such splendid possibility not de-
sire to grow into a broader and
purer life!
Some poetess musing on that
of futurity that stands
out to each one, thus addressed
the Zephyrs
Famed by the breezes that from the South
sweep up,
Fhat first hath kissed the ocean, then the
Nly's waxen cue,
Then the sweet magnolia blossoms dotting
all the sunny South,
And the gently murm urfng waters Of many
rivers mouth
Methfnks it comes with promise as it gen
ly lifts the leaves,
And like gayly playing children, rustles
'nong the golden sheaves.
Then 1t gambols on in glAdness- on toward /
the chilly North,
And the fiocks do chill and shudder as 1t I
wildly rushes forth.
)ost thou hold the life before me, sunny
South, all JOY and bloom4
)r is my future northwaTd, silent in It's
cold and gloom?
Nh! me, I ask the question many times
the summer day,
o ask these gentle zephyIs, 'wither doth
my future lay?'
Tut they laughing, only kiss me, as they
lightly pass me by.
till ask the geutle zephyrs, whittier doth
my future lie?"
To every thoughtful person.
ooner or later, comes the ques-
ion, "when 2" Futurity is like
n impenetrable mist ; it can be
ransgressed by hope and faith,
ut not by sight-and there is
nch a longing to know. In the
Freek myth, Lachesis' spun Out
ne events of each mans life and
ssigned his lot; Atropas snap
ed the thread. If we were to
this powerful goddess
ith this question, and be not
yer curious, but in earnest, we
light press this answer:
Wonder not WHERE thou may'st labor
Wonder most How thou may'st do
In life's tenement.
Work has oft bitter saver
And needs eendiment.
Be not given o'er much to doubling,
Cherish most a trusting mind
That thou can'st do.
Faith avails far more than signing,
And will rescue you.
'For honored life an honored close"
Is both good and true.

Portland's Fires.

About 10 o'clock last Sunday nlght
a fire was started IN some hay on the
dock adjoining the Esmond Hotel in
the city of Portland. The fire was
we'll under Roadway when discovered
and destroyed the entire block includ-
ing The Esmond. The guests all es-
capped, many losing their baggage, and
some their wearing apparel. Win. I.
Friedlander and family, of this place,
were stopping at the hotel and lost most
of their clothing. w. r. Willis was
registered at the Esmond, but escaped
by being out in the city seeing the
sights when the fire occurred. He
however lost his overcoat which he had
left in his room. The loss in property
aggregated 100000
Shortly after 8 o'clock Monday night
fire was observed in the Colona dock,
between Oak and Pine streets, Port
lind. The captain Of the Stark street
ferry sounded the alarm by blowing
the whistle of the boat The fire de
partment was soon on the ground and
by extra exertion confined the flames
to the dock and warehouse above,
which were destroyed With the loss of
large amount of machinery belonging
to Knapp, Burrel 4 Co, who occupied
the warehouse. The ire was started
IN some cid boxes underneath the dock.
There is unmistakable evidence that
both of these fires are. the work of in
ceadiaries.
