freight train No. 81 on the Cleveland, Lo-
rain & Wheeling Railway met with an acct
dent at Stillw alter Station few miles from
here that resulted fatally DO John Exton,
engineer, and James Bulger, brakeman.
The engine left the track aud turning over,
fastened the two men In the wreck.
Exton bad leg broken, but neither was
crushed badly enough to have caused
death, which resulted from scalding.
Bulger was aged thirty-four, and had a
family. Exton was twenty -one, and was
married four months ago. Both resided
at Bridgeport, Ohio. 1t is said the acct
dent was caused by the breaking of the
fange of wheel. The engineer had fire.
quently asked that his engine might be
repaired, as it was unsafe to run the way
Ii was.

THE GRASSHOPPER.

He jumps so high in sun and shade.
l stop to see him pass
A gymnast of the glen and glade,
Whose circus is the grass
The sand Is round him like a ring
He has no wish to halt
L see the supple fellow spring
To make q somersau,tl
Though he is volatile and fast,
His feet are slim as pegs.
How can his reckless motions last
Upon such slender legsy
Below him lazy beetles creep;
He gyrates round and round
One moment vaulting In leap,
The next upon the ground
He hops amid the fallen twigs
So agile in his glee.
I'm sure he's danced a hundred jiRs
With no one near to secl
He tumbles up, he tumbles DOWN.
And from his motley hue,
lis clear he Is an insect clown
Beneath a tent of blue!

A Suspicious Transaction.

SALT LAKE, AuBuBt d.
The steamer Hathaway, on the Upper
Missouri, encountered raft with
five men aboard, and the officers took
them In charge, on suspicion that they
were horse-thieves, but soon after the
boat was disabled and the prisoners
turned over to some men on shore, with
directions to deliver them to the officers.
1t Is now said the men on shore were
cowboys, and that they hanged the prison
ers as soon as the boat was out OF sight.

ST. PAUL, MINI, August %.
A Winnep e special to the Pioneer Press

calcuiabe damage to property In towns
and villages Throughout the province and
damaging crops 20 an extent not yet as

The roof was wrenched off the Bay

number of occurants was blown from
the track. A frame house and stable,
occupied by horses and owned by William
Burke, were ca ried into the river.
Not less than fifty buildings In the city
were damaged. Reports from twenty
points in the province show that the
storm was equally disastrous in all.
A special from Headingly, a village If

The occupants had a narrow escape. The
English Church was strewn into frag-

has undergone some changes that we
wished to effect in our college days. No
member loved that hall more devotedly
than the writer, and mono received richer
rewards as a return for his devotion. We
were among the first to enter and the last
TO leave on the days of our assembling
Every office in her gift we have filled,
and every part in her performance we
have taken, and every honor she had to
beslow We have received. Several times
we have taken part in her anniversaries
and exhibitions. In the first anniversary
of the Society after the reorganization of
the College, the writer took prominent
part. This was twelve or thirteen years
ago. Elias Reed, Esq, was the other
speaker in that first anniversary. Rev.
DR.. Carroll and George Alfred Town
send were the speakers for the Athenean
Society.
But how changed the audiences In
other days we used to know nearly all
who came up on anniversary occasions.
Here and there would be some from dis
tant parts of the State with whom we had
no acquaintance. The few were the
strangers then; the many are the strang-
ers to-day. And those we knew in other
days are so changed in appearance that
we scarcely recognize them. The bald
heads and white locks and wrinkled
brows, tell us that years have passed, and
that time has been busy since last we
met. But the Society is as youthful as
ever. In one sense college literary so.
ciety may be old, but in another sense il
is always young, for its active member
ship is composed of regular succession
of youth. We are glad TO see that this
society is so young and vigorous, and YET
so dignified and wise. And now that the
prospects of the college are so bright We
may look forward to a bright future fol
the society. Rev. Robert II. Williams.

Newark Revisited.

Newark was village of small dimen-
sions when the writer of this article en-
tered 1t as a student less than sixty years
ago. Nearly all the houses were on one
street and these did not extend much be-
y0nd what was known as the New School
Presbyterian Church on the one end and
the Deer Park Hotel on the other. But
III mat little village were found as pleas
ant and cultivated people as yon would
md anywhere in the country. We have
often met them in their homes, and will
continue TO remember them with pleas
ure as long as memory continues TO per-
form her Office By the changes which
lave occurred within a few years, the
village has grown into town, and now
The expectation is entertained that il will
reach metropolitan proportions before
many years shall have passed.
The college building has changed less
than the village. The campus and the
trees look pretty much as they did twenty
live years ago. The fields the woods.
the stream back of the college have not
undergone much change. Yonder woods
were quite a favorite resort. There, es-
reeially after Prof Comstock had given
us his course in eiocution, several of us
were found putting into practice his sug.
gestions. One day along the narrow
path which was almost concealed by the
luxuriant growth of spring, we met a
man whose timid look indicated that Ii,
vas filled with fear lest he was approach

some asylum. or the Tudian who had re-
turned to occupy the country. On an

DELAWARE COLLEGE closed her
doors on Wednesday last until Sep.
TENDER Bird. The past year has been
fraught with gratifying results. The
graduating class of 'S4 does credit to
the institution. The exercises of COM

Nothing in part but everything in
detail, was accomplished. The class.
day exercises was most ENJOYABLE
affair, and we trust these pleasing ex.
ercises will not wane in future years,
but will continue to grow stronger
and stronger. The graduating elias,
will undoubtedly do marked credit 10

It was the forest of Arden and tall and grand,
Stood ROBBED in green the woodland monarch fair
Fondly at every little winds demand,
To gently daily with tho mellow air.
Orlando's spirit seemed my heart to I'LL,
As oft gaZed in rapture and in wonder
Upon ne quaint and beautiful rill
AS ever flowed greenwood hillock under.
Pure more than pure and peaceful was its flowing,
And softly sweet its synthlc voice fell,
Whilst little sunbeams innocently glowing,
Made Eden splendOr of the lovely dell,
A silent something babe me wondering pause
AT SO much beauty mid the forest gloom,
And 10! my eyes behe.d the mOurntul cause,
