A DREAM.

On, 10 was but n dream I had
While the musician played
And here the sky and here the glad
Old ocean kissed the glade.
And here the laughing ripples ran,
And here the roses grew
That threw n kiss to every man
That voyaSsd with the crew.
Our silken sails in lazy folds
Dropped in the ~breathless breeze,
As DER a field Of marigolds
Dur eyes swan DER tho seas,
While here the oddics lisped and puzzled
Around the islands rim,
And up from out the underwood
We saw the mermen swim.
And IL was dawn and middle dag
And midnight--for the moon
On silver rounds across tho bay
Had climbed the skies Of June,
And here the glowing, glorious king
OF day ruled DOR the realm,
With STAYS of midnight glitterirg
About his diadom.
The scagull reeled on languid wing
In circles round the mast;
We heard the songs tho sirens sing
As we went sailing past.
And up and down the golden sands
A thousand fairy throngs
Flung nj US from their flashing hands
The echoes Of their songs

The Same Thine.

Major John writes in The United
Service Magazine that while he was
employed between Port Said and Kan
tara he saw the waters Of the Lake Men
zaiek driven beyond the horizon" bya
violent wind, so that the natives walked
about where the day before they were
fishing. This convinced him that he had
seen exactly what happened when the
lsraelites passed dry shod through the
Red sea.

The Hudson-Page VS.. Page Estate
Hearing.

A hearing in the suit brought by Mrs.
Emma j. Hudson Page against the es-
tate of j. w. Page, lately deceased at
White River Junction, was begun this
morning at the office of Batchelder and
Bates, before Edward B. Dickinson Off
cial stenOgrapher of the surrogate court
of Kings County, New York, who was
appointed by the Surrogate for the pur-
pose of taking the testimony. Mrs.
Page was represented by ex-surrogate,
Rastus Ransom, of Brooklyn and Batch
elder and Bates of Bennington, Henry
Hathaway of Albany and Walter f.
Logan of New York appearing as counsel
for the estate. Edward Wheeler, first
witness called for the plaintiff, was ex-
amined by J. X. Batcheder. He
gave an account of where he worked at
the time that the ceremony took place
and gave an interesting account of the
happenings of the evening in question.
His testimony was simply a
confederation of what has already
"PPS"AOu III puDllC pIlul' Ills CIOSo GA
animation was conducted by Counsel
Logan. The witness was considerably
ratified during the cross examination and
at one time the Counsel rather lost his
temper.
In the examination of Fred KirlwoOd
were revealed the same particulars that
have been previously printed. The only
new information brought out IN evidence
was that there was a firm composed of
Burgess and Perry that ran the livery sta
BILE in Manchester. Where Perry came
from or what his initials were has not
been learned. He came from the east side
of the mountain, and although proprie-
tor, he had nothing to do with the man
agement, and drove a team good por-
ton of the time.
John Nash testified to his work in the
investigation. The hearing was then
adjourned until three o'clock this after
noon, when NJ. E. Burgess was called
His examination was postponed until 10
a. m. tomorrow when the healing will
be continued at Manchester.

The Board of Health.

The attempt of the Reformer in its
last issue to disCredit the work of the
Board of Health, and to burden it with
the charge of working the position for
all it is worth, is another instance where
righteousness and spite have been al
lowed full play. The efficiency of the
present Board its Promptness in investi-
eating and suppressing nuisances, quar-
antining contagious diseases, and, in
general, its careful attention to every
matter effecting in any way the health OF
the community, is a standing contradic-
ton, when the full facts are brought to
light, of any statements of overcharges
for services performed. The bill in
Board and which was laid over by the
trustees until their next meeting, was
for SS7.15. This is the cost to the vii
lage of the services of the entire Board
or the three months preceding the pres
ent month of September. The Board
consists of three members. The insinu-
alton that the amount of their bill is
other than reasonable and just for their
services in effectively protecting the
health of the community during the
summer months is ridiculous and out
rageous. The village has never been
favored with a more conscientious and
painstalling Board of Health than it has
at present, and its efforts in fulfilling its
often dsagreeable and arduous duties
should receive the hearty support of the
entire community.
The charge of $S7.15 for the services
of the entire Board for three months,
covering over 60 cases, is as low as could
be reasonably expected. The cost for
their services for the six months ending
Septe 1st, was but $1,000
These figures prove the falsity of any
insinuations of overcharges or of unnec-
essary charges. They are extremely low
for the character and responsibility of
the work performed.

OPERA HOUSE ANNOUNCEMENTS

The Rochester Democrat & Chronicle
in its issue of the 3d. inst, pays the fol-
lowing tribute to "a Baggage Check
which appears in the Opera House next
Friday evening: A crowded house greet
ed ga Baggage Check at the Cook
Opera House last night and judging from
the generous applause and hearty and
continuous laughter, the people were
we'll pleased with the performance. "A
Baggage Check is just what it is repre-
scented to be, farce comedy. bright, wit
ty, and bubbling over with fun. Any
one seriously effected with melanchOlia
or the ''blues," should not fail to visit
Cooks during the engagement of this
popular company. No matter how Sc
we're the attack, the remedy is guaranteed
to work complete cure or money re-
funded" and the patron who enters the
house with a mournful visage will invar-
iably walk out smiling. James T. Kel-
ley, as lisa Conboy," was very entertain
ing with his repertoire of late popular
songs, and the irrepressible Billy Butts
was specially good. Chas. A. Morgan as
"Willie Waits" impersonated the BRAIN
less youth of wealth and fashion in
praisewortby manner, and in fact, all of
the special song and dance artists deserve
particular mention, Miss Lizzie Melrose
is a charming little creature, and the
acrobatic dance by the Nichols sisters
showed the wonderful suppeness and
agility of these young women. Their
performance was heartily encored, and
deservingly so. Quite au innovation
was introduced by duet with Miss Lv
dia Clark singing before the footlights
and the baritone replying from the upper
gallery. The twentieth century girls
and twentieth century boys were great
success, and the bloomer costumes worn
by the girls were most becoming, and
during the entire performance there was
not one dull moment.

Bad Accident.

John O'Neil of East Dorset, a brake
man on the Bennington and Rutland
railroad, fell down while coupling freight
cars in the south part of the depot yard
at Rutland, Friday morning, and the car
wheel passed over his right leg little
below the knee. The accident was
caused by his foot being caught in hole
as the two cars came together. He was
taken to Dr. Thompsons Office on Wales
street, where his leg was amputated.
Drs. Thomson, Hanrahan and Stearns
performed the operation. He was after
wards taken to the private hospital on
Nichols street

A Timely Reminder.

Each season forces upon our considera-
ton its own peculiar perils to health.
The advent of fall finds many reduced in
strength and vigor, poorly prepared to
continue the business of life. The stom-
ach and bowels, the great highway of an
imal economy, is especially liable to dis
order in the fall The nervous system
has also suffered in the struggle. Ty-

AN ADDITION TO THE CRAWFORD
WOODEN MILL.-On Tuesday last
Messrs. Buxton, Tebo and Shaffer
were at the Crawford Wooden Mills
taking measurements for the addi-
ton to be made to that manufactur-
ing establishment. The addition
contemplated will be brick struc-
ture 1872 feet long, 60 feet wide, and
two stories high. The first story
will be II and the second 10 feet in
the clear. These dimensions. if
adopted, will make a very extensive
addition, and afford Mr.. Crawford
ample space for the prosecution of
his extensive and increasing bust
ness. The substantial character CT
the building contemplated, brick
and slate, is evidence that this plant
is to remain permanently.
No time should be lost by those
interested in the erection of this
building, in awarding the contract
for the work, so that it may be
erected before cold weather is en-
countered.
The public spirited citizens, who
have worked so earnestly for the &C i.
complishment of this undertaking,
deserve the highest praise. l. is by
such efforts that our city is built up
and its business interests placed on
solid foundation. May the good
work thus begun continue until every
available location is occupied by an
industrial enterprise.

DEATH OF Mr.. JOHN L. OLIVER
The death of Mr.. John L. Oliver, oc-
Cured very suddenly at his home on
North Queen street, Monday even
ing, the cause being paralysis of
the heart. Mr.. Oliver had been
complaining for a few months but
continued at his work until noon
Wednesday. He then went home
and told his family that he was too
sick to return to work, and would
stay at home. A physician was con-
suited, medicine was given him, and
he weat to bed. His wife and
daughter were down stairs when his
little grandchild, who was in the
room with, him called them, saying
"Grand-pa has spasm." His daugh.
ter ran into the room and raised him
from the bed just as he was dying.
He opened his eyes and moved his
mouth as if to speak, but passed
away without saying word. Mr..
Oliver has been good citizen of
this place for many years, and for
twenty four years has been in the
employ of the B. & o. r. r. Co. here.
He was q member of the First NJ. E..
Church, and has been prominent
officer of Tusearora Lodge, No. "a,
10. O. F. The funeral took place
from the church of which he was a
member, Friday afternoon, and was
attended by the Lodge in a body.
The deceased leaves wife and four
children: John, Harry and Miss
Sallie, of this city, and Mrs. Charles
ii. Bowers, of Piedmont, w. Va.
He was aged GA years, 2 months and
