Down a pathway mid the corn,
On an early autumn morn,
Ran little, happy child.
Putting arching leaves aside,
Yellow leaves, all crisp and dried,
Ran this little maiden Wild
Rustling, rustling through the corn,
On a fair autumnal morn.
Quick from out the yellow corn,
On this quiet autumn morn,
Sprang a-many blackbirds wild,
Nhirred into the sir so high,
Blackly dotting bluest sky,
Frightened by this little child
Who was rustling through the corn
On a peaceful autumn morn.

 We wish that all retail coal dealers would send us . ton of coal for our pound party to- night. We know that they send to other charitable institutions and we feel that we are not only needy, but worthy. We also wish that all our grocers would remember us with barrel of flour, or apples, or box of soap, some sugar or a ham, or anything that they choose. And those of our mer- chants who think that they have nothing in their line that will prove acceptable are re- minded that pounds of silver and gold will be most gratefully received.
 If . generous public will bear in mind the fact that we are striving to educate c large class of young women that they may the bet ter gain an honest livelihood, we are sure that everyone will gladly lend us helping hand.
 At the pound party this evening everyone is cordially invited, but is expected to bring something useful as 8 ticket of admission Those who prefer may bring pound sterling. The entertainment committee will be in at tendance to receive the guests with their pounds. The Home will be entirely thrown open for inspection. Those desir- ous of becoming better acquaint- ed with the work of the association and it's needs will have an excellent opportunity to do so and are urged to avail themselves of the opportunity. All questions will be most cheerfully answered by the matron, superin- tendsnt or the managers present. The Rev. Dr. Twichen of Dwight Place church will give an address.

 ance = Additional S1gners of the
 Pledge.
 Carll's Opera House was literally packed with people last. evening on the occasion of the Good Samaritans' meeting. It was by far the largest of these Sunday evening tenn perance meetings that has yet been held, and the audience was apparently made up of earnest men and women who appeared to take a deep interest in the proceedings
 President Luddington presided, and after the usual opening exercises introduced Pro- lessor s. E. Baldwin, who made the princi-
 pal address of the evening. The professors
 address was an eloquent and earnest appeal
 in behalf of the temperance cause. The
 good results that follow the abandonment of
 the use of intoxicating drinks
 and the bad results that come
 from their use were depicted in g
 manner that could but carry conviction to
 his hearers. The professors theory was that
 any man by using his will power could over come the desire for strong drink. All that was necessary was for every man to make ms
 appetite his servant and not his master, and if he sticks to it. as he may, he will have
  The professor was listened to with deep at tention by the large audience present. On the conclusion of Professor Baldwin's address, President Luddington made an earnest appeal to those present who had not done so to come forward and enroll them selves under the banner of total abstinence, and by their influence and example help the Good Samaritans in carrying happiness to the homes of the unfortunate victims of intern perance by inducing the heads of such families to upright and sober lives.
 The address of Professor Baldwin and the earnest appeal of MT. Luddington were not without their effect, for when the invitation was given, and while the raliying songs were ward and signed the pledge. The literary and musical entertainment which followed consisted of recitation by Miss Fannie c. Willis, cornet solo by MT. Resell of Landrigan's orchestra and a selec- tion by chorus choir. The interesting ex- ercises closed with selection by the orches- tra.

The storr. Agricultural school.


 There seem to have been some errors in an item recently published relating to the mat ter of title to the Storrs Agricultural school. MT. Augustus Storrs gave the large school buildings with the farm buildings appurten- ant thereto, also another farm near by, to the State for an agricultural school on condi- ton that the property should be thus used for twenty years and that it should not be used for an insane or pauper asylum. A number of the twenty years have already elapsed. The late MT. Charles Storrs at the same time gave a number of thousand dol lars to the school internationally. Some think that MT. Storrs ought to remove the condition and allow the State to dispose of the property ss it pleases. He, however, de- sires that it should be used for an agricul- tural school only and consequently attaches a condition that he shall receive $12, ,OOO if the property is otherwise disposed of within the time mentioned
