f. III. West, formerly of Hot Springs,
committed suicide in Mitchell, this
state, by taking poison. Some time ago
he absconded with several hundred
dollars of the funds of thegrand lodge of
X. of p of this state, he being the
treasurer of that order. The fasci-
nation for the gambling table and a
sporting life, lead him to appropriate
money entrusted to his Feeping, for his
own use, and at last drove him to a
suicides grave. He was young man
and at one time possessed quite a
fortune. Buffalo Gap Republican.

The b. & NJ. passenger train pulled
out Friday morning, leaving the con-
ductor behind who being and ardent
lover Of the beautiful had become utter.
ly oblivious to the situation In his rapt
contemplation Of Clusters sublime and
bewitchingly beautiful scenery. The
train backed up to the depot and took
him aboard, after having gone a half
mile before his absence was dicovered.
The new road from Custer to the
Squaw Creek Silver camp, now ap-
preaching completion is said to be by
far the best road leading into that camp
from any point. The distance is scarce
ly twelve miles, and there is not hill
of any consequence on 1t. The neces-
sity of establishing good practical
road from that rapidly growing camp,
to the county seat, can not be over-esti-
mated, and it is gratifying to note that
that Custer did not escape the early
realization of the important fact.

These have contributed much t. the success Of the

small drum corps. The sound OF the spirit stir
ring drum and o. ear piercing fife should be
heard In every Vermont hamlet. The slriil notes

The Colonel in the same order says: "The supe-

THE NEW YEAR.

Ger the mountains wild comes little child,
And all the untrodden ways
Are blooming bright, meath his steps Of light
And the valleys ring with his praise;
And the morning glints on his brow and tints
His cheeks with Its rosy rays.
His bright eyes beam and his tresses gleam-
Shot with the sunshine's darts
That mark his way through the gates Ut dav-
AS the dying year departs.
And the vacant throne Is now his own
And his kingdom is human hearts.
The songs he sings and the joys he brings
Are wonderful, sweet and rare;
And the future glows like fragrant rose
Meath the wand that he waves In air.
And with kisses sweet and with smiles W.
greet
The beautiful, glad New Year.
And cover the head Of the Old Year, dead,
With cold, cold shroud Of snow.
Life Is sweet, but time is fleet,
And the years must come and go;
The beautiful years, with their smiles and
tears,
The years that we all love SO.
Kisses and tears for its joys and its cares
The year whose steps have passed
Into silence sweet. where no fall Of feet
Is heard in the Dim and Vast
To the Oid-his due; but we love the New
The sweetest rose is the last!
