If in speaking of the Blackberry river, and in writing of it, people are going to go back to its old name and call it Bromfoxlt. why not make this fad for old or original names universal in our locality and speak of the Housatonic riv- ar as Ousatonock, Twin Lakes as Plumb's ponds, Central New England railroad AS Connecticut Western, Main street as Pudding lane, Clayton as East Sheffield, etc. Why is Blackberry river the only modern name that must be shelved for it's predecessor?

THOROuoHeRED.

The thoroughbred colt to the block was
led,
Proudly he lifted his royal head.
The auctioneer raised his hammer high,
And said to the loafers standing by:
"Ail must be sold, and this Is the last,
And guess he'll work; come. what will he
bringf
Give US bid to start the thingl
Go,ns-goins; the bidding is low,
Gong-going; no higher they'll CO.
Qoing--gone! to John Smith Jones!
CA fairish price for this bag OF bones)
And the thoroughbred colt, with troubled
neigh,
By a common farmer was led away
So the colt, in whose veins was the king
Hest blood,
with a dunghili mate in the stable stood;
At plow or cart he toiled all day.
And was fed at night on the poorest hay;
Yet he bore UP we'll, as the long years
passed.
For a thoroughbred horse is game to the
last.
One summer Sunday he was allowed
At pasture to run with the common crowd.
His weary limbs he stretched on the grass.
And idly gazed upon all who might pass;
For beside the field ran the road highway.
Filled with eQuipages grand and gay.
UP came dog cart at rattling speed.
Drawn by a nag Of the dunghill breed
For his driver no more Of horses knew
Than the farmer whose plow the thorough
bred drew;
And plenty Of oats and work that is light
Put q very poor horse In a very good plight.
The shabby old horse he quickly spied,
And his coarse, thick nostril swelled with
pride.

While you must rank with the dull and
