A NIusician,s Query.

Murray Carleton told a good tale last night on Dave Silverburg, commercial tourist of years experience, but now a merchant of Clarksville. Tex. David en- listed in the late war and was duly in stalled as tenor drummer of his com pany.
 A sharp skirmish took place between the Confederate and Federal troops, and Dave's colonel ordered him to beat a re- treat. This was just what Dave desired most of all, and he piled his drumsticks 50 Justify that the company took to their heels and fled like mad. Dave followed as fast as his short legs could carry his fat body, but each moment increased the distance between him and his fleeing comrades. Exhausted and panting, Dave called to them to stop, but bullets were still whistling about their ears and ac- celerated their speed.
 With one great effort Dave shouted; "Holt on poys. Wy in de blazes ton't you stay init dc musicT-St. Louis Republic.

Fighting a Grountihor.


 Just about grounding day." which all well informed people know to be Feb. 9, New Jersey farmer heard flock of crows making 8 big fuss in field near the woods. The farmer investigated and found the cause of their disturbance to be a groundhog looking for something to eat. For some reason the crows re- sented the appearance of the little anil nal and assailed him on every side with sharp peaks and claws. AS good luck would have it, the groundhog was near his hole, and in he went in 8 hurry.
 His sudden disappearance caused sur prise and consternation among the crows, and for time they flew around wildly. Then they held council, with the re- suit that two old crows flew to the top of rail fence few feet from the burrow as sentinels, while the others flew some distance away.
 Ten minutes elapsed and then the groundhog reappeared. Instantly the sentinels cawed the signal, and the main army came flying, but the animal was too quick and dodged into his home.
 The exasperated crows immediately fell to work, and in the course of 15 minutes plugged up the hole with dirt and stones. Then they indulged in chorus of exulta- tion and were having joyous time when one old crow gave terrible cav of rage.
 He had discovered the groundhog sit ting on knoll 50 feet away, having emerged from the other end of his bur row.
 Then there was another council of war, and the farmer expected to see an- other attack, but 1t soon became evil dent that the crows were disheartened, and after awhile they arose as one bird, and with few faint hearted caws flew to the woods and disappeared, thus &C., knowledging that the groundhog was smarter than hey.-Golden Days.

DIR. GEORGE ADAM.

George Adam, the youngest of four children, was born in Canaan, Septem- Der IT, 1872 His father, Samuel Forbes Adam, was graduate of Yale college, and was man of generous culture. His mother, Mary Sampson, was daughter of the Rev Ezra Sampson, of Hudson, N. Y, an author of rspute in his day. Born of such parents he had heritage of intellectual refinement, and gentle blood.
 He was educated at Lenox and West field, Mass. On completing bis pre- paratory studies he came home for a few months, when he entered the New York College of Physicians and Sur geons, from which institution he grad uated with honor in 1886. After leaving college he was appointed one of the staff of physicians in the New York city hospital, receiving from the gov ernors most honorable certificate as to his fidelity and ability in the practice of both surgery and medicine. After resigning his position in the hospital he opened an office in the city, and was married, Jan. 30, 1889, to Rosanna Mills, daughter of George l.. Mills, of Newark, N. J. His prospects for a career of wide usefulness seemed bright; but he was recalled to his old home, under peculiarly painful circumstances. His gentle unselfshness. in obeying what he thought his duty, smoothed the path for others, but gave tiDge of sadness to all his future life. He spent the rest of his life in Canaan; for many years following the profession that he loved, giving it up at last because the wear and tear, on frame never very robust, was too great.
 On Jan. 30, 1859, Dr Adam lost his first wife, and was again married Janl ', 1869, to Mary, daughter of Rev Archibald Geikie. She, with six chil. dren. four sons and two daughters, sur vive him. ''.
 For the past few weeks his strength had been gradually failing, though it looked as if he might spend some months longer in the quiet peace of old age. But his work here was done; and the God whom he had loved and served so long called him home in the early morning of Jan. 4th. His death, like bis life, was peace.
 He was man who not only had a kind word for every one, but kind thought went with it; and those who knew him best cannot recall a harsh judgment, or ungentle word, about others. It would have been his way to have done kindness to an enemy, if it had been possible for one so gentle to have made one.
 For the past year Le had been nearly blind but he took a warm interest in the town in which he had lived so long, in his country, and in the world at large. His daily paper was real pleasure, and his darkensd days were full of peace.
 "And Christian lay till the dawning of the morning, when he awoke and sang"

FUNERAL OF DR. ADAM.

The funeral of George Adam, M. D., was held at his late residence at 2 o'clock last Saturday afternoon, and was we'll attended considering the in- element weather and the number of persons on the sick list in this town and vicinity. Many peighbors and nearly all the relatives in town were present. The doctors eldest son, MT Joseph s. Adam, was very ill at his home in the village of Canaan and neither he nor his family were able to attend. The doctors eldest daughter, Mrs Rev Mason Noble of Georgia, was also unable to attend. The relatives present from out of town were; The Hon Robbins Battell, Mrs Terry, and Miss Susan Mills, of Norfolk; Mr Daniel R Williams. of Stockbridge, Mass, Mir Joseph Futile, Mir George Futile, and Miss Rose Futile. of Newark, N. J.
 The funeral services were as follows: The choir sang 'Jesusl Lover of my Soul" The Rev D. c. Stone read the entire Sth chapter of Romans; and then made beautiful and comforting ad- dress. paying fitting tribute to the memory of the departed. The Rev 0. D. Milliken made brief address, full of tenderness and consolation and called attention to the inspiration given by the gentle and Christian life which pr Adam had led. The choir sang .It is not death to die." This concluded the ser vices at the house. The intsrment was in the family plot at the lower ceme- tery. The pail bearers were: Messrs D. L. Peirce, E. D. Lawrence, D. l.. Freeman, J. W. Peet, J. o. Richmond, $ A. Bennett.
 With a beautiful wreath of out flowers and sheaf of wheat upon his casket the beloved physician, the sincere friend, the gentle. devoted and indulgent hus- baud and father, was tenderly laid 10 rest alongside kindred dust. It was a very tender scene as the Rev Samuel F. Adam, surrounded by weeping friends. stood beside tue open grave of his father and read the Episcopal commit tai service.

REV. DAVID PHILLIPS LETTER.

Dear Afr. Editor:
 I see by THE NEWS of Jan. 4th the statement is made that our new Meth O list Episcopal church in Red Hook is to be dedicated on Thursday, Jan. 18th. Allow me to state by way of correction that this was the date fixed upon some time ago; but it now transpires that be- cause of some delay with memorial win dows, pipe organ, and pulpit furniture, we find it necessary to delay the dedica- tory services until Thursday, February the 8th. We have a beautiful church, and will dedicate free from debt; the funds are all in hand.
 On the evening of Dec. s0th my friends of this vicinity gave us friend ly call at the parsonage and left us Q token of their regard. which, with what was handed in day or two later. amounted to $50.
 Yours Very Sincerely,
 .-.- .. DAVID PHILLIPS. Rcd Hook, N. Y., Jan. 5, 1894.

4 WARNING TO TRAMPS.

Ia the cellar of the town hall building in this village is cage or ''cooler" where all tramps are locked up who ap
 ply to the authorities of the town of North Canaan for nights lodging. Selectman Bragg built the 'cooler" but Constable Drake has charge of it, con- sequently we are in doubt whether to call it "Hotel Bragg" or "Hotel Drake"
 tThe Bragg House" or .'The Drake House." "The Bragg Inn" or "The Drake Inn, "but we think it proper to give tramps fair warning of the accom- modations and dangers provided for them, and we would advise them 10 shun this town ard that "cooler" while on their tour. There are several bench es and ore cot within that 'cooler" |" Outside the iron bars of the "cooler" is stove where fire is kept in severe weather. A lamp is left burning out side the bars All tramps are locked within the cage but no one acts as guard to release them in case the lamp should explode or the building get on fire from said stove, or from other causes. Some entertainment or other is held almost every evening in the up- per rooms of the town hall building, consequently there is m ore or less dsn- ger of fire from stoves or lamps. Should fire occur in the building after an en- tertainment closed, the tramps in the ''cooler" would in all probability be cremated alive. .- -sr
 It does not seem right to imperil human lives in this manner-even the life of poor, homeless, tramp-but the town authorities seem to think that the lives and property of the inhabitants of this town are safer with tramps locked up in this manner than with tramps roaming at large through the night Be that as it may, the NEWS feels called upon to warn tramps of the accommo- dations and dangers, and no food, pro- vided for them in this town; and then if tramps choose to come here and sc- cept the situation they do so of their own volition and at their own peril.
