Fourth of July is past and we find this

up on that eventful night one year ago
last Fourth. their ambitions drowned In
the food OF the overwhelming, and the
band played a dead march and sue
cumbed TO the inevitable and is still sue
cumbing with a vengeance that would
cause your neighbOr to smile eXultantly
and say this is Veritably a land Of
peace. No flood. no fire and brass bands,

OF the ThOmases peacefully lying be-

wall escapes TO awaken him from his
slumbers at a midnight hour. Please re-
serve sad reflections until at a proper
place as a break in the Cuietude and
stiffness would cause US to weep, o, such

MoOre's son. aged about eight His pris-
oner made some resistance at first, but
Marshal Weaver cracked him on the
nose with lead 'knucks" and he marched
along. At Mercer * Brannun's lumber
yard a halt was made and young MOore's
hands were tied and he was bound 70

he takes this role he will probably be
sent to jail-Hartford City Telegram.
