Charles Miner, Jr., II, attempted to
commit suicide few days ago at his
fathers farm in West Brattleboro by
taking large dose of paris green. The
boys story was to the effect that he
threw stone at some dogs, but bit a
dog that was a great pet i'll the family.
When he saw the bleeding wound in
the dogs head he feared that the canine
would die, and was SO overcome with
remorse that he mixed up dose OF
paris green and water and drank i've

ly became frightened in short time,
and when he told what he had done
the hired man hitched up team and
took him to doctor as rapidly as pos
sible. The poison was taken soon af
ter dinner, and therefore its effect;
we're not felt very soon. Had the poi
son been taken on an empty stomach ii
would have been impossible to have
saved the boys lite. The doctor ad
ministered powerful emetics, and gave
the boy attention for two or three
hours, when he was pronounced out o
danger and was taken home.

Reported Gold Strike,

An Edgemont special to the Sioux
City Journal, dated August Both says :
While ~excavating for . sewer in Edge
mont some fine sand waa encountered,
and old miners saw 1t and determined
that it carried gold. A pan of dirt was
taken to Lake Calvert and five large
colors Of gold yer found. Excitement
at fever heat and dirt wal carried
to the lake by several people and in all
cases large colors we're found. Expert
miners declare that the diggings with
the results of the banning would give
$50 per dav to the man. It is supposed
that the old channel of the Cheyenne
river has been struck, and the citizens
are looking anxiously for some ground
that is ~unoccupied. The agent for the
Edgemont company is awaiting further
developments before allowing any OF
the lots to be sold along the line Of the
sewers. Present owners Of lots are fear.
ing that it would be q question whether
they can hold their property under the
recent placer laws. Merchant and
others are wild over the prospects and
have closed their stores to pan gold.

Leaving Sylvan Lake.

DEDICATED TO OUR FRIEND, MRS. OLE
Then fare thee well. dear Sylvan Lake,
Thy charming scenes we now f0rsake,
We mount the battered Deadwood coach,
And OF. its weary wheels approach
The portals Of the world so wide,
And join the restless, moving tide.
The Deadwoot stage. what mysteries lie,
Deep hidden from the mortal eye.
Could every wheel and spoke but speak,
And all the seats, which crack and creak,
What tales OF horror might be told,
What scenes OF terror could unfold.
And, listening down the lapse of time,
Voices would speak In words sublime,
or pictured rOcks-of shadowy dells
And shady hooks, where the violet dwelis,
or midnight providers, by the way.
And hideOus, bowling beasts of prey.
And yet, OF centler themes might speak
Tn Deadwood coach OF crack and creak,
or lovers tender, deep-drawn sigh,
AS bliSSful hours vent flying by.
We saw these pictures OF menlOry's page
While riding down In the Deadwood stage.
but oh, alas! we nevermore
Such scenes of beauty shall explore,
Such charming pleasures e'er partake
AS we have found at Sylvan Lake.
Its peaceful %stillnes fingers yet,
We leave IL with a fond regret.
It's mirror lake, Its towering heights,
Reflected In the changing lights,
Its soothing, gentle, Whispering breeze,
That signs among the Christmas trees,
All these We have, with longing eyes
This spot, so near to Paradise.
0, why did Eve the Apple bite,
Which drove her from the realms OF light?
Or, why did ever, we forsake,
The lovely shades of Sylvan Lake,
It's only echo, answers why?
As OH the coach w homeward fly.
Our hearts were broker with a pang,
When MIR. Peltz cried out "Go-lang,"
And seized the ribbons with n dash,
And lifted high the leathern lash,
Which started of the Deadwood stage,
That old historic parsonage,
And nothing now our heart consoles,
When parting with our friends. the Coles,
The Coles, so gracious, good and true,
The Coles, so ~tircless, all day through,
That loving heart, and watchful eye,
That every want or wish did spy.
The soothing voice, aud form OF grace,
The ever sunny, smiling face,
The Queen of all this Paradise,
Wen ever turn with longing eyes
Back 10 the day we babe 3dieu
To lovely Sylvan Lake and You.
&c. AYRES.
