city Omcers.

A petition was circulated few days ago
among First Ward voters asking DIR. ]. 1.
Hill to accept the position Of Councilman,
to which he was elected at the last meeting,
the Doctor having expressed an intention
not to accept. 1t was signed By a large
number of the voting residents of that ward.
Mr. Peters, of the Second Ward, 1t Is re-
ported, will resign at the next meeting, on
account of his intended absence in Califor-
MIA, and Treasurer Seitenbach having NOV
ed to Spokane Falls there will be vacancy
in that Office. It is to be hoped matters
will be gotten into good running order be-
fore the regular city election.

Of "The Three Sisters" well known in this
city, committed suicide, at his home, at Sa-
lem, last Sunday evening and died Monday
afternoon The act was performed with case
knife and morphine. At the same time Smith
attempted to Kill one of his children, who was
present. but failed. He had been drinking,

who knew him, would consider him guilty
of such crime even when intoxicated.

This practice Of our neighboring cities OF

The cash premiums offered BY the State

Feats That Were an Everyday Mates
for a Lsp-Eared Jersey Cat.

The hundreds of snakes that fed from
the burned bushwood at the back
of Chestnut avenue, in Arlington, N. J.,
have found new houses, and theIittle New.
ark suburb is again free from them. But
Mr. James n. Matthews, the business man.
ager of the Kearney Waterman, says the
statement that no snakes had been seen in
Arlington before the burning of the bush
wood is incorrect, and he points at the
grave of a cat that saw and killed many
Of them, and brought more into his kitchen
to be dispatched by MIR. Matthews him.

of rabbit. and, q singular thing with
cat of mis- disposition, was never known to

bouncing upon them again.
"Thsy were. for the most part, garters

be little poisonous, but the cat was never

Ireneeus Prime and His Pupil.
IN Y. Sun.1

In the autobiography of the late S.
TrenRus Prime, now being published in the
New York Observer, the writer tells of a
scholar who went to school to him in Sing
Sing, and was rather stupid at first as he
blundered over his A-B-Cs. One day Mr..
Prime stood the small boy in the middle
of the room as a punishment. The bell
rope hung just there, and the teacher in
fun dropped the moose over the lads head.
There happened to be some boys in the
hall above, who pulled the rope, and the
little fellow at once went toward the cell
ing. The teacher grabbed the rope and
pulled, which made the boys pull all the
harder, and the child was in danger of
being then and there hanged. But Mr..
Prime succeeded in extricating him none
the worse for the hanging, and after
ward wrote: she went on with his
studies, became a capital speaker at public
meetings, studied law, became recorder
of the;city of New York, and subsequently
Governor of tho State of New z ork, my
lifelong friend. John T. Hoffman"

groom was looking after the baggage at

nervous, hurried the bride into the wrong

soon. The disconsolats husband took tn g
next train, bat got to Berwick only to find
that his bride had returned to Portland d.
She, against the advice Of friends, did not
stop there, but started West again and
got to Boston at the same time he again

TWO MOTHERS.

The night was cold and bleak the wind,
AS down the street there passed
A woman thinly clad, whose arms
"A sleeping babe held fast.
Before a house whose windows blazed
With bright and cheering light,
she paused, and, looking IN, beheld
fair and touching sight.
A mother by a cradle sat,
Singing her babe to sleep,
And seemed with fond solicitude
Her loving watch to keep.
"Ahy" sighed the wanderer. chow strange
IL is that some are born
To wealth and happiness, and some
To povertl and scOrnV
And bitter feelings stirred her heart,
And bitter thoughts her mind,
As tearfully she turned away
To face the biting wind.
Days passed and weeks, and once again
The wanderer passed before
The house Now pity stirred her heart;
White Grape was on the door.
Happiness dwclt no longer there:
That homo had suffered blight;
And soon from out the door was borne
"A casket small and white.
The woman she had envled came,
Weeping. in weeds of woe,
And sOrrOwfully down the street
She saw the funeral go.
Pity, not envy. filed her heart,
And thankfully she smiled
As TO her bosom tenderly
She strained her darling child.
