Dr. Griswold has been work ing in the shirt factory connected with the prison, and has been in fairly good health and his work has been light. When found he was unable to speak or to use his right leg, but he has since continued to improve, and the prison doctor does not think that the shock was a serious one. Dr. Griswold had petitioned to the board of pardon, at their meetings this month, for release, but has since with drawn his petition.
 Holland county chose Representative Charles A. Thompson, of Ellington, yes terday afternoon member on the state board of agriculture, under the new law which was signed by Governor Cooke yes terday.

THE AUTUMN CALL.

Now autumns fiute-like call Is shrilling Der northern lands, by summer long be-
 guiled, And all her wondrous world with dread is
 filling
 Of winter. rough and wild. Now all her birds fly southward, fast and
 faster,
 Their far-ofr notes but dimly. faintly
 heard Adown the winds her warning of disaster Their futtering spirits stirred. How clear her tone upon the morning
 breezesl
 "Oh winter, winter!" is her call And as they listen. consternation seizes The forests, grave and tall. Swift drop their leaves with inward gentle
 signing;
 They seek their mother earth, In terror to the tender bosom flying Of her who gave them birth Yet autumn clarion peal Is ringing clearer. And brighter grows the red Of leaves and vines as winter draweth
 nearer
 Banner of doubt and dreadl The woodbine flames aloft in scarlet splen-
 dor:
 The ivy's fiery twine Fen in her terror and defeat doth lend her spark of life divine. Now glorious autumn stands with arms
 extended To breathe her benediction OCT the land, Although she knows her sovereignty is
 ended The scepter dropping from her hand. Iris love she breathes: but ever fainter
 growing She fadeth from our sight: AsaH AI
 blowing, Proclaim the winters night Elizabeth French, i; Springfield (sfass.) Republican.

 "A change of time and change of tass. There was time when restaurants cc,'li charge very big prices.

 "Well, Miss Marsh, you needn't count on doing the first if you keep on with that work"
 Is that you, Dr. Beebe?" She craned her neck around the post at her side to see the figure standing in the woodhouse doorway.
 "Yes, and warn you that woman who has just had spell of rheumatism in the shoulder had better ask to keep her fears with her awhile, for she stands a pretty good chance of wiping her weeping eyes good many times, espe- cially if she is bound to keep pounding nn an old leoni.' .''
