MENDHAM.

Mendham on the hill
Near by runs.the rili
From mountain spring
Where starlings sing
It's winding course to fill.
Its waters flow
From melting snow,
From crystal fount
By verdant mount
To Roxiticus below.
Where the savage foe
Where the deer and roe 7
BY mornings light
They took their flight
Before the white mans blow.
They're gone from thence,
No more to quench
Their daily thirst
At mornings burst,
Where rivulets commence.
Mendham on the hill
Stands a sentinel
It's vigils keep,
While others sleep,
'Thwart valley and the rilI.
The ancient fame
Without a stain
Looks over all,
Both great and small,
Where sacred dust hath lain.
Dead, it's patriot sires!
Quenched, their signal fires
Their sons now know
The British foe
A friend, to them, aspires.
The maiden's steed
The soldiers need
The maiden sleeps
On Morris sleeps,
The soldier by the reed
White, it's colors are;
Cleaning like star,
They catch the eye,
AS he draws nigh,
OF the wand'rer from afar.
The fiuted post,
'Tis seen the most,
The Black Horse Inn,
That's often been
The trav ler's ease and boast.
Mendham, thou art fair
Beauties that are rare
Do cling to thee,
By wood and tree.
As perched amid the air,
Thou art gem
That's set by Him
Who maketh all,
Both great and small
A royal diadem
Mendham, round thee sweeps
Broad the vale that keeps
Thee, lone and tall,
And seen by all
Who gaze from distant sleeps.
From fertile field
Abundant yield;
The yeoman's hopes,
These sunny slopes,
Nor know the power they WELD.
Mendham, fare thee we'll
Mem'ry weaves the spell
That shall thee keep
AS ages sweep
Along thy quiet dell.
Ancestral hoinel
My fathers roam
TO other climes
And other times
The child may call thee. Homel

Charter Oak News.

Special to Iimes-R Re publican.
Charter Oak, June 26.-Much COM
plant is coming from the farmers in
this vicinity because of the backward
ness of the corn crop. The cold wealth
err and surplus moisture has injured the
crop greatly, and the cloudburst that
struck this vicinity last Sunday has
washed out more than half of many
fields.
Those who have returned from the
plant of the Belle Mining Company at
Boulder, Col, give very glowing reports
of the valuable find there and in which
many of our citizens are interested.
Assays have been made showing gold
running from 5000 to $1,000 to the ton,
and the company will commence ship
ping ore this week.
Charter Oak people are considerably
wrought up by the dilatory manner in
which the different telephone COM
panies that have secured franchises in
this place carry out their contracts.
The telephone service at this place is
very unsatisfactory and we have no
rural connection whatever while all the
towns surrounding us are putting their
lines into our territory. Unless the
men of this town who have the means
are willing to come to the aid of this
matter our business interests Will suf-
fer from the enterprise of our neigh
bors.

Special to Times Republican,
Mason City. June 26.-The almos
nightly robberies that have occurred in
this city recently will convince anyone
that the town is infected by a gang of
thieves. Following upon the several
robbelfes recently reported the Ameri-
can express office was the scene of an
attempted burglary Wednesday night.
The east entrance is from an alley be-
tween the Odd Fellows building and the
First National bank building. A sin
gle door with plate glass in it is all
there is of 1T. During the time when
door is bolted. Last night the bolt
was set as usual and at bed time Mes
senger Stockwell rolled in. He was
soon in slumber, dreaming of what
the future days had in store for him.
But 1t is not always thus. Sometime
after the whistle bowed he was
aroused the second time by noise
like the breaking of glass. He laid very
still and second sound brought him
to his feet. His gun was not under his
pillow as it should have been but was
laid away in the safe. In going for it
someone evidently watching move
ments from State street entrance,
heard him and in moment more the
burglar had flown and no traces could
be seen. Stockwell got his gun in read
mess thinking they might return but
they did not. All that could be dis
covered the next morning was that the
glass had been broken.
