Mean to Wait for Jack

Sweet Kate at Wyndbam's dairy, and Jack
of Oldham Mill
Oh, long they wood and fond they Good
a faithful Jack and Jill
But times were bad for lass and lad, and
sadly both confessed
Twas not the thingtO buy the ring before
they'd lined the nest.
Courage, lad !" said Katie. eyes, well
have to wait;
But though, my dear, it's twenty year.
III take no other mate"
But England wanted Jack, for war wa;
in the air,
And arms more grim were pressd on lin
than Katie's bonny pair.
So all through Spain, in rough campaign
he chivied bold MOssoo,
And fired his gun and made him run like
fun at Waterloo.
When the lads came around her, Kate
bade them pack.
"There's girls enow for you to WOO;
mean to wait for Jack"
The gray in Katie's ringlets was mingled
with the brown,
When, bump -a-thump, an eager stump
came pegging through the town.
"It's me, You see, come back" says he
except a leg or so;
And safe and sound here's twenty pound
solet the parsOn know"
Jingle, jingle set the bells a-chime,
And health and bliss to love like thi
that bravely bides its time.

fastened with diamond-headed pins

for a jeweled necklace. Ladies
who cannot afford gems of "purest

get-old fashioned bead necklaces,
amber red sea-beans strung on a
narrow scarlet ribbon, and for
young ladies monogram collars
close around the throat are liked.
Small crochet or beeded buttons
are used on handsome dresses,
lasting buttons on cloth suits, small
pearl or ivory on cheaper fabrics.
Fancy buttons are no longer fash.

in the bargain basket Of our large
stores for half or quarter price that
a great many of them are worn all

Pretty lace hats trimmed with
flowers or ribbons are worn for gar

are shown, even for country and

narrow brim and the small capOtt
remain the popular choice.

uBloomington III. Paragraph, June 10.
Every now and then we hear OF
Democrats who become dishearten-
ed and disgusted at the manipula-
tions of the Democrotic party, and
after due deliberatiOn absOlve
themselves from that party and
step up and take positions in the
Republican ranks; and, of course,
where they are good citizens and
come for a good purpose, they are
made welcome. No few persons were
surprised Saturday at an old wheel
horse Democrat freeing his con-
science by deserting the Demo
cratic camp and migrating himself
into the Republican party. The
person was none other than Mr..
James Clark, the well known hide
and wool dealer. lie has resided
in this city a great many years,
and for so long a time to our certain
knowledge he has partaken OF
crumbs from the Democratic table.
He has been a prominent local
politician, and for some time past
has been chairman of the Demo
cratic City Central Committee,
Saturday Mr.. Clarke voted at the
Republican primary. The Judge
of the election Queried him, adyiS-
ing him that none but known Re-
publicans could vote, when he said:
"Well, gentlemen | have been a
Democrat for a long time, and you
NAV have called me a 'mOss-back :
but l am a Democrat no longer. /
am done with that party. Tilden
was my man, and since he declined
to be nominated l made up my
mind to vote for Blaine and Logan
at the coming election, and expect
to be found henceforth identified
with the Republicans" The judges
took his vote and tailed it, and it
is fair to presume Mr.. Clark will
stand by his declarations.

Old Folks' Party.

A Large ThrOnE at the Skating Rink
 Plenty of fEnJOymenE-E1tnts of Ne OIden
 Time.
 There were between seven and eight hun dred persons at the Dwight street rink last evening to witness and participate in the Old Folks party. The grand march, which was led by General and Lady Washington, took place at about eight o'clock, after which skating was enjoyed to the music of the American band until nine o'clock. when six teen little fellows dressed in the costumes of the ''minute men'' of the oIden time came in the surface and went through the manual of arms and 8 drill, executing some very difficult movements. One of the principal features of the evening was the old fashion cd kitchen and fireplace from which General Washington and his spouse dis, pensed good coffee to the skaters. This fireplace occupied nearly the whole of one end of the rink and was genuine imitation of the fireplace of the olden times. In it were ex- hibited many very old things. Some of them were old iron candlesticks made before brass was worked at all, some chairs said to be one hundred and fifty years old, and many other things such as old firearms, swords, etc. Some of those present were Misses Stahliker, Hiypelius, Judd, Hshns, Bray, Clark, Spring, Stevens and Sherman and Messrs. Pearce, Heaton, Stokes, Phelps, HermRnce and Ter Till. Do not forget the leap year party on next Thursday evening.

The Marriage License Case.

Constable 0. D. Morse, of Hamden, came to this office last evening in reference to the published statement that Dr. Doherty, the registrar of vital statistics, proposed to prove among other things that "a Hamden con stable came to me and in the presence of my lawyer offered to settle the case for $25. |" MT. Morse denies that any such thing hap. pened as far as he is concerned, and says '4One of Dr. Doherty's friends came out to HAmden week ago, the day after Warner made the complaint, and wanted to see War ner and get him to lay the case over until after the Hartford hearing that Doherty was Interested in. He said Doherty would do what was right if Warner would do so I saw Warner and he told what he would do and came into New Haven and told this friend who had come out to see me what Mir. Warner said. Then he introduced me 60 Dr. Doherty, who paid me for my trouble and went home. There was nothing said about settling the case in any way or shape and this friend who came out to see me VilI verify this before witness.

The Lebanon Tragedy.

Startling DexelOpments-The Finding of
 8 Bloody Hammer in . Closet in Chap
 peIl's EaOWse.
 Later developments in the tragedy at Leba- non, Conn.,, leave no doubt that the old man Harry GhappsI, 7s years of age, an eccentric bachelor, was killed for his money. He was found dead in his handsome house. with 8 gaping wound i6 his right temple. All about the house were indications that the premises had been ransacked for money, but whether the house had been robbed could not at first be determined, as Chappen had lived alone of late, doing his own cooking and chores. By frugality and thrift he had amass ed fortune of $24O, ,O00, nearly all of which was on deposit in banks. He was afraid of being robbed and kept but very little money in the house. He had one of the finest orchards in the State and large grapery. niece and nephew are his only relatives in this State. Yesterday the official examination was begun. It had been con- jectured that the deceased committed suicide, but yesterday discovery was made which greatly increased the excitement already pre- vAiling. This was the finding of hammer in 8 closet in Chappell's house which was un- doubtedly used in killing Chappe1. It's head filled exactly the wound on his fore head. A large force of detectives Is now at work on the case

The Erie Freights.

The FerrybOat ssHart" To Cease Rum ming.
 After the first of March the through freight from the West on the Erie will be withdrawn from the New England road and sent east by way of the Hoosac Tunnel route. From Binghamton the freight will be sent over the Albany and Susquehanna road to Albany, instead of coming to Newburgh as at present. This change will not affect the local business of the Erie and the New England roads, which will be transferred as heretofore. The local business, however, is but very small portion of the whole, and it is thought that outside of the coal traffic it would not pay the expense of running the Hart.
 The New York and New England has handled this through freight at disadvan- tage from the start and though it was ex- tended through to Fishkill mainly for the purpose of accommodating 1t, the business has been, we understand, unsatisfactory to all concerned. The Erie people claim that they can send the freight more speedily. by the Hoosac Tunnel route than by way of Newburgh. After the through freight bus1- ness is discontinued it is not likely that the Hart will continue to run much longer, as the small amount of local freight can be transferred more cheaply by floats.
