South mountain lowered upon our
right, far off the river lay,
And over on the wooded height we
held their lines at bay.
At last the muttering guns were still;
the day died slow and wan;
At last the gunners' pipes did fill, the
sergeant's yarns began.
When, as the wind moment blew
aside the fragrant flood
Our brierwoods raised, within our
view a little maiden stood,
A tiny tot of or Z, from fireside
fresh she seemed,
(Of such a little one in heaven one
soldier often dreamed)
And as we stared, her little hand went
to her curly head
In grave salute. And who are you?"
at length the sergeant said,
"And where's your homer" he growled
again. She lisped out, who is
me?
Why, don't you know? I'm little Jane,
the Pride of Battery B.
My home? Why, that was burned
away, and pa and ma are dead;
And SO ride the guns all day along
with Sergt. Ned.
And I've a drum that's not toy, a
cap with feathers, too;
And l march beside the drummer boy
on Sundays at review.
But now our 'bacca's all give out, the
men can't have their smoke,
And so they're cross-why, even Ned
won't play with me and joke.
And the big colonel said today hate
to hear him swear
He'd give a leg for a good pipe like
the Yank had over there.

Yesterday Justice Finger heard
the testimony regarding the shooting
of John Stapleton by Harry Nam
waring Sunday morning, June 20.
At the conclusion of the session Man
waring was bound over to the grand
jury in bonds of $500. Since the
charge on which Manwaring was held
was changed from assault with in
tent to. commit murder to assault
with intent to commit great bodily
injury there has been a decrease in
interest in the matter. Manwaring
claims to have shot at the ground to
scare the boys away. The Justice
held, no matter how great the provo
cation the boys had given Manwar-
ing. and it seemed to him that the
provocation was very great, the use
of the deadly weapon made so serious
an affair of it that he preferred to
have the grand jury investigate the
matter thoroughly before Manwaring
was restored to his liberty.

the work for which they came together.
it must be remembered that heretofore
the two branches Of the Finnish people
have been together in this temperanc ,
movement but, on account of the
difficulty arising from the two dialects
in vogue, it was decided TO separate
into two independent orders The
matter was discussed at length by the
delegates. who, by way, assembled
as representatives from the old organ
ization. IL was the unanimous decision
that better work could lie done if the
two branches Of the nationality were
separated and accordingly the delegates
rgsoyled themselves into a convention
of their own people exclusively and
drafted an outline for costitntion and
bylaws for such an order The better
part of the two days was given up to
this work and it was all finished mp
on Friday evening when the mass
meeting of the convention was held
in the Finn hall in Maple Grove
The delegation had been augmented
in the mean time. by a large number
from Amasa and Stambaugh who came
in on the evening trains accompanied
by pand.
The evening exercises were very in
teresting and fitting wind-up to the
convention.
1t was decided TO have the organ
ization beign business on the first OF
the year. The secretary was given
authority to renumber the lodges.
The officers chosen are as follows.
