ONE TO LOVE HIM.

Dark the skies above me-
Never CLEAN of light;
Yet. with one to love me,

Fear 10 fall of night:
These sweet words: II love you"
Fill the world with light!

lengthy session. Senator Hill was not
present at the meeting, and ex-Gover-
nor Flower was called upon to preside.

two-thirds on the presidential vote.

a few remarks, made this significant
statement: IT believe that we should
abide by the decisionsof the convention
on all topics and in that way demon
strate our true Democracy"
This resolution was then adopted:
The delegates from the state of New
York to the national Democratic con-
vention greatfully acknowledge the
compliment extended to the Democ-
racy of the Empire state by the ma
tional Democratic committee by the Sc
lection of David B. Hill as temporary
chairman Of the national convention p

tee, VIM. F. Sheehan; resolutions.

 This community was shocked to hear of the death of Charles A. Smith. The announcement of which came quite un- expected to most of us. Though never of robust constitution, it was not gen. erally known that he was in 8 critical condition till short time before his death.

The funeral services were held at his late residence on Monday, Eth, inst, Rev. J. Bartholomew officiating. The large number present showed plainly the esteem in which he was held by the community.
