How blissfuily they sped.
When not . charm had vanished,
And not wonder fledl
The gear was full OF promise then,
The tongue was fun OF praise
But think the cup IL sweeter now
Than in the childish days
Oh, the laughing world OF childhood,
OF ignorance and easel
The lightest touch could quicken.
And the least pleasure please;
Yet the upward paths are dearer.
With oil the ,horns they bear,
Than garden OF hundred flowers
When ignorance Is theret
Oh, the beating heart OF Childhood

Nor sorrow has brought owi

steadily all the classes had not been completed.
The exhibits were so many and o fsuch similar
excellence that to decide which shout d re-
celve prizes and which should not was no
mean task. It however, speaks volumes for
the results arrived at. when even the exhi-
bitors, winners and losers expressed them
selves satisfied with the decisions.
The principal exhibitors were:-Hon. j.
PAIache, Mrs. j. d. Lewis, High 81 uridge,
R. A. Walcott, Mrs. Lynd Miss Bonilto, Mrs.
Church, Mrs. Cooke.
The grounds we're opened at 2 o'clock
prompt a slight rain falling and Immediately
the influx commenced, the place being Gro wd-
ed in a very short time. The trains from
Kingston brought large nun bers and it ia a
longtime since Vaudeville presented so
animated an appearance.
The following is the report Of the
judges =
Ne the judges congratulate the committee
on the very admirable Show we have been
called upon to inspect. The exhibits as
a whole are excellent sabut he Jud. es feel
they will be fulfilling their duty by making
a few remarks on the various classes. Class
one, very few roses we're exhibited. There
were good varieties but they appeared to hav@
not been long enough in preparation to be
we'll grown. We can give ulstlnted praise
to the exhibits of Towering plants in pots
, 1893-05-24

or tubs and can speak similarly of the few
ANIMALS exhibited. No doubt a longer notice
would have resulted in ii larger and better
display. For this time of year we think
there has been an TexceIlent exhibit of cut
flowers. A few ornamental plants of merit
were shown, but We think great improve !.
ment can be effected in this class if more
attention is directed to the cultivation of the
plants. This is specially applicable to the
exhibits Of crotons. The exhibits in class
six, ferns and orchids were not as numerous
nor as fine as the Judges anticipated. Few
exhibits Of fruits were submitted, owing it ID
presumed to the time Of the yea, but those
that were exhibited are very CIR editable
The vegetables the Judges consider to be Of
such excellence as TO make them wish that
the Kingston Market could be sup piled with
them. The Judges would specially mention
the exhibits of onions, leeks, celery, cab
bages, carrots, turnips, lettuce and English
peas. The Judges trust they have not
overlooked any plants of rel merit. but it is
possible some may have escaped their atten-
ton for want Of careful grouping and olassi.
idcation. The Judges have derived very
mu Gu pleasure in carrying out their task
and conclude with the hope that this
Show will be the foreruunsr of many
others This statement is signed by all the
Judges.

Part Of His Brain Gone.

PoTTsvTLLE, Pa, Dec. l7.-John
Audenbach, aged twelve, is living af-
ter having lost large part of his
brain. He was struck, on Thanks
giving Day, at Cressona. by shaft
of a carriage. DR.. J. G. Gray found
the boys brain protruding from the
wound on the side of his head. La
ter he operated on the boy, with the
assistance of DR.. John M. Gray, Of
the Miners Hospital. They remov-
ed portion of the skull measuring
three inches in length by two in
width, and found that the shaft had
penetrated the brain to the depth of
very nearly four inches, and that the
skull was fractured down to the eye.
A portion of brain as large as a small
hens egg was also removed. The
boy rallied from the operation, has
never been unconscious from the time
of injury to the present time, and is
perfectly rational.

A NARROW EsoAPE.-Mr. James
Fl. Fulk and family, living at the Big
Springs, on the Winchester pike,
came near losing their lives on Fri
day night of last week, by asphyxla-
ton, from gas escaping from the
stove in their bed room. Before the
family retired the draught had been
turned on and the stove allowed to
get quite hot, after which it was
turned off and the family went
to bed, but before they went to
sleep the little child in the cradle,
it being near the floor where the gas
first accumulates, began to make a
noise. The mother got up to see
what was the matter with the child
and was at once overcome with the
gas. Mr.. Fulk then attempted to
rescue them and he also was over
come. His sister, who was sleeping
in another part OF the house, hearing
the noise, came to their rescue throw
ing open the doors and windows.
Had it not been for her they would
undoubtedly have persisted by morn.
