The little one we loved so well,
Has been called away,
That Christ might on his pure white brow
A crown of jewels lay.
But, little Ada, thy crib stands empty now,
And thou art laid at rest,
And not wave of trouble falls
Across thy peaceful breast
Human hands tried to save thee,
Signs and tears were all in vain,
Happy angels came and bore thee
From this weary world of pain

DAMAGES BY THE SToRM.-The heavy aud con
tinuous rain of last week sweled the streams
and did great damage in some quarters to the
roads and to oats and corn fields. The rain was
particularly heavy in the vicinity of Shawsvlle,
Black Horse and White Hall. The road from
Shawsville to White Hall was badly washed and
Mr., Harrison Almonys field of from 10 to IA
acres of corn, near Shawsville, looks as If all
the corn had been washed out of the rows
Complaints of damage to the roads come from
all sections. The general supervisors should
stir up the road members and get them to set to
work at once repairing the roads.
Prof. e. g. Curtiss, of Fallston School, re-
ports that the rain of Friday and Saturday last
was the "great rain," since the Sd of last
August The rainfall measured 4. rs inches
In the first ten days of May 5.45 inches of
rain fell.

THE FISHING SEASON CLosING.-The fisher
men about Havre de Grace are cutting out their
seines. All of the floats in the river above that
place have stopped hauling, except that of JAR
rett Spencer 81 Co., who will probably continue
for few days longer. The season has not in
the main been very profitable for the large seine
haulers, but the gillers have made some money.
Shad made their appearance about ten days ear
lier than usual, and the gillers therefore had a
monopoly of the market until the large seines
began hauling. The great influx of herring, it
is said, prevented the shad from coming in and
the herring being worth very little and the shad
comparatively scarce, the profits for the seine
haulers were cut down. The fishermen below
Havre de Grace probably made more profita-
BILE season than those above. The latter have
scarcely done more than clear expenses. Messrs.
Geo. r. Carver & Co., at Spesutia Island, have
perhaps had better luck than any of the fisher
men about Havre de Grace.

Good Advice to the Knights of Labor.

General Master Workman Powderly has
issued ringing circular to the Knights of
Labor, in which he makes an earnest appeal
to workingmen everywhere to unite He COP
poses all boycotts except boycott on strong
drink. He does not think that bloodshed or
destruction of property will solve the labor
problem and insists that the man who adyo-
Gates such sentiments should be put out of
the order. He says, with truth and force:
Men who own capital are not our enemies If
that theory held good, the workman of to-day
would be the enemy of his fellow toiler on the
morrow, for, after ALL it is how to acquire capt.
tai and how to use it properly that we are en-
deavoring to learn. No, the man of capital is
not necessarily the enemy of the laborer; on the
contrary, they must be brought closer together.

print. Lieut.. Hall says that Col. Scharf was
dangerously wounded in some of the great
battles of the war three times before he was
sixteen years of age, and was made mid
shipman therefor. He was distinguished in
several boarding expeditions, and on one
slew man in hand-to-hand conflict,
saving the life of comrade, Col. Scharf is
