Independence Day.

Bang! Boom! Rattle and sizz!
By signs like these we know It is
Dear Independence day,
A smell of powder In the air,
a small boy present everywhere,
Engaged In mimic fray!
A trumpet's blare. a drums loud beat
A quaint procession in the street
OF little minute menu
A cheer, shout, proud huzza,
And patriot Young America"
Applauds the past againl -
A bright, bewilderirg array,
OF "goddcsses" in ribbons gay,
The colors of the freel
A nations honored Sag full-mast,
And In the heart, thank God, fast,
Firm love for Libertyl

COLUMN OF POETRY.


When the Sun King in his journeys
Leaves the myrtle and the vine,
And comes riding bravely northward
Through the land of snow and pine
Ger the meadows srnd the forests
How the sunny heralds fly,
Frightening the very shadows
With their shining liveryl
Up the valley and the hillside,
And across the spreading plain
Swinging, swaying, nodding. playing,
Comes the fair and smiling train.
There are buttercups and daisies
In the fields of early spring,
And the cowslip bells of yellow
All along the marshes ring.
While the marguerites In June time
Mid the grasses sbyly peep
Loyal little hearts of sunshine
That the snowy petals keep!
And the saucy black-eyed Susan
Flaunts her Guted yellow frill
Down the rivers rippling borders
Up the crowning of the hill.
Then the golderrod comes riding,
Doughty guardsman, in the rear,
When the king his steps retraces
In the waning of the year.
How the plumes of yellow. floating,
Mingle on the sunny breeze,
With the gold and crimson mantles
OF the pages liveries!
One by one they pass before US,
Until all the smiling train,
Sweeping slowly to the southwark,
Passes from our view again.

He was an artist. whose wondrous skill
Made many with admiration thrill,
For he painted landscapes whose every
hue
Seemed blended as colors In nature do,
His tints seemed captives from sunset
skies
And his foliage to shake In the breeze that
flies;
And all who knew him declared his life
Would be crowned with fame-all except
his wife.
And even his wife confessed at last,
Ills abilities ne'er could be surpassed,
Twas ehe day when he started, with mood
intense,
And painted the roof and the backyard
fence.

Clarinda

The winter with It's ice is gone,
And fair the spring suns RISE
But there's no morning like the dawn
In sweet Clarinda's 8 eyes.
And, by Gods grace, He finds it sweet
To spread His roses at her feet
Fair flows the sap in spring and fair
The flower bends to the bee,
And melody Is in the air
When that she speaks to me.
And, by Gods grace, her red lips rare
Tempt me to steal the honey there!
Lean, lilies, to her loyal lips,
And roses, blush and blow!
The bees bloods in her flngertips-
That's why they thrill me so!
Sing birds, bees, winds, in one sweet tone
Clarinda is my love-my own!

WALLINGFoRD.

On the night of September IA, 1895,
horse was stolen from the barn of
Thomas Saults Of Cheshire and until
within few days no clue was found
Of the horse or the thief. Within a
few days officer Dan O'Reilly of this
town got some information that result
ed In the recovery of the stolen horse,
which was found down in Derby in the
possession of David Wright, who is a
son-in-law of Allen Sawyer of this
place, Wright claims to have bought
the horse of Bernard Cannon of New
Haven, who in turn claims that the
animal was sent to his place from
Broolyn to sell. Yesterday afternoon
Officer O'Reilly arrested Allen Russell
on suspicion of being connected with the
stealing of the horse in question The
arrest was made at Ryan's saloon on
South Colony street. Russell made
stubborn resistance, but was safely
locked up. James Luby of Meriden was
in the saloon at the time of the officers
visit and made himself obnoxious and
attempted to prevent the arrest of Rus
sell and was himself pulled in and lock-
ed up. Charles Jilson of East Haven
was also arrested in New Haven for
completely in the horse stealing and is
now in the Grand avenue station. Last
evening Russell sent word to Attorney
Fowler to call at the lookup, claiming
that he was in no way mixed UP in
the affair, as at the time of the horse
stealing he was in New Haven jail
serving out a sentence of perjury, haV-
| ing been convicted in Derby. Sheriff
Beadle of Cheshire was over here last
evening and Russell will probably be
| taken to Cheshire for trial.

Being Considered by the Various Mer-
chants-Proposed to Close During the
Day and Keep Open Store in the Evening
Opinions of Merchants.
Owing to the fact that Memorial day
this year falls on Saturday it has
been a debatable question with the
merchants of the city whether or not
to close their stores entirely on that
day, as Saturday is of course the bus
lest day of the week for merchants, es-
pecially dry goods merchants
Although opinions on the matter diff
er it has been decided by nearly all
the merchants to close their stores for
a part of the day. Most of the stores
will be open in the evening. The clos
ing in the day time will be in order
to enable the employees to witness the
exercises attendant on the day. The
merchants feel that they owe it to the
people to keep open at least a part of
the day, as many people who come to
town from the country to see the ex-
ercises would be greatly disappointed
if they were unable to do some trading
will come to town with the idea of
making purchases and combining bus-
mess with pleasure, and it is felt by the
merchants that it would be hardly just
to disappoint them. Then many peo-
pie os the city would like to do some
trading in the evening.
VIM. Nelly, of Malley, Nicely G. Co.,
said their firm had decided to close the
store all day. reopening at 6 p. m for the
usual evenings session until 10 o'clock

his store closed all day Memorial day
until o'clock in the afternoon, when
it would be open and remain so until
10 o'clock
c. NJ Walker of the Charles Monson
company said his firm would close at
lease during the day, and possibly
might decide not to open in the evening.
Howe & Stetson have decided to close
| their store for all day, including the ev-
ening Mr. Howe said that the firm
had always closed it's store on Memo
| rial day and that the fact that the day
came on Saturday would make no ex-
ception to the rule.
William Frank of William Frank &
| GO, SAID ne would 90 DIS his competitors

| Einos Kimberly, the coal dealer, said
! the coal merchants had yet taken no
action in the matter. He should close
| his office until p. m. if the rest did.
| Mr.. D. R. Alling was not in his office
and it could not be learned what ac-
| ton he would take.
