Condemned upon report,
Though willing TO admit, myself
That mischief is my forte.
Pm driven hard to any act,
At each arraign the great:
And when with afr brought IN contact

At filthy 1ucre never clutch,
For money-lending Jews
Ungodly make when 1 touch
Their odi0us 4 o Us.
A staunch abstainer. stout and hale,
My pledge dare not break;
The day Pm seen to touch the ale,
They'll kill me at the stake.
Had been to art refined,
Its secrets I'd betfay:
But here am to learning bound,
To teach you how to pray.
With unity am secure,
Pn yet reform, for when
I'm bound to roUe you may be sure
Pm growing better then.

MINES IN CONNECTICUT.

Gold and Silver Veins at Newtown Which are Now Being Worked. In the village of Newtown, about one mile north of Sandy Hook station, Joseph and Thomas Medling and Lauren
 Thorpe of Southington are at work
 cleaning out a shaft that was dug about twenty feet deep over twenty-five years ago with the expectation of finding gold and silver in paying quantities. For some reason the effort was abandoned. The property is owned by party in Meriden named Bidwell. Early in the
 spring they employed Medling of South ington, who has ..had twenty-five years experience. to clean out the old shaft that had been almost tilledup with sticks and stones and the work on the vein at the bottom of the shaft. There are three
 veins in sight
 If five ounces of gold and D ounces
 of silver to the ton can be mined the
 mine will be made to pay. The work of
 cleaning the shaft is nearly done and by the last of this week they will commence work on the vein.
 The mine is only about 100 wards
 above the road in ravine on what is known as Putetuck mountain. The old copper mine in the pictures que Polkvllle region near Bristol is be- ing worked by a large force of men wit h the most improved devices and imple-
 ments for mining and the managers of
 the new company are confident of fair return.
 The Southbury oil well is gradually becoming deeper and water of an oily
 nature Is now being worked.

 IHEY FOUGHT TO 4 FTNIsH.
q trange Contest Between e Hnyv N
 ana n Rattlesnnke.

A party of Illinois sportsmen witnessed a savage contest on the banks of Barnett Lake, opposite Elizabethtown, H., re- gently, between large hawk and U rattlesnake that had evidently crawled from an adjoining hillside to the lake after water.
 Their attention was first attracted to the hawk suddenly darting from his posi- tion in pecan tree to the ground, and then rising again to repeat the samo operation. Seeing tho hawk repeat this a dozen or more times aroused the curi- osity of tho sportsmen to ascertain the cause of it's strange actions.
 Creeping through tho bushes they ar rived at the edge of small opening and were surprised to find large rattlesnake with the blood oozing from several wounds in it's back and sides. With its head erect the enraged reptile was watch ing the every movement of its feathered enemy.
 The hawk seemed to instinctively realize that 1t had the sympathy of the hunters, and as they took their position within flow yards of the rattler it made another dart at its dangerous foe. To avoid the reptiles deadly fangs the hawk would swoop down as If to attack the snake, and suddeAly wheel to one side to avoid the stroke and then return and make his attack before the snake had time to recoil. This was repeated time after time, and tho rattler, evi- dently realizing that 1t was getting the worst of this strange engagement, sud denly uncoiled and started on nasty retreat for a log heap near by. Taking in the situation the hawk made a sudden dart, and catching tho reptile just behind the head with it's sharp talons it raised the snake from the ground and scared away to the northeast, the frantic movements of the snakes body being visible as far as the eye could discern. The spectators to this peculiar battle say that the snake was about three feet long, and that its tail was adorned with a dozen or more rattles.-N. Y. Morning Journal.

Semi-Centenn Honey.

A remarkable discovery has just been made at the Cathays Yard of the Taff Vail railroad company. A large elm tree, grown in Gloucestireshire, was being cut into timber, when, right in the very heart, cavity measuring feet by 2 1-2 inches in diameter was discovered almost completely filled with the comb of the honey bee, together with a squirrels skull. No means of access to the hollow was discoverable, neither was decay anywhere apparent, and around the cav ity itself no less than fifty rings" each ring denoting years growth, were counted, the outer bark being. too, with out flaw.
 The hollow was of uniform size through out, and presented the appearance of having been bored with an auger, and, great thongh it's dimensions were, it was practically filled with the comb proving that tho bees must have been in posses sion for several years. Empty combs of the queen bee also showed that they had swarmed.
 How the bees got there can only be guessed, but it is surmised that 0 squir- rel once occupied decayed hole in the tree, cleared away the decay, occupied the cavity as its own, and there died. Then the bees entered into possession and filled the hole with comb, when, by some means the entrance, which must have been small, became stopped, tho large quantity of grub and fly being taken as demonstrative that the nest was not voluntarily deserted. Then for fifty years the growth of the timber went on. Tho entrance being absolutely obliter- ated, and the whole being dramatically sealed, the comb was preserved from de- cay for half a century, to be found at last in the way described. The find is of the greatest interest to naturalists.-London l Public Opinion.

 of the Season.
 Yesterdays thunder storm was one of the heaviest Waterbury has experienced this season. The downpour was terrific, filling cellars in many places and bury ing sidewalks out of sight. The rain was ac- companied by sharp peals of thunder and dangerous flashes of lightning. In tine Brooklyn district especially the storm was unusually severe. One bolt burst the water main in Johu street and the shock was felt in houses i'll the vicinity The telephone and telegraph wires suf- fered to a great extent. In a number of stores and offices about the center a sharp report like the explosion of a per cussiou cap, accompanied by flash of electricity from the wires. was the cause of fright to many just before 6 o'clock and those who had not before placed the safety plug of their telephone in position needed the warning and did so at once. Only one out of town wire at the tele- phone office could be used last night.
