-. 1t e'er grows in sweetness,
As lengthning days grow bright;
Sure, the feasts of the gods,
Werene'er an idle DREAM
But banquetS of berries.
In sweet and rudy stream.
love the little berry,
Clinging, lowly, to the earth.
Near song of the woodland,
Near the cricket's chirp:
love the fragrant ground,
love her throbbing breast;
There strength and joy are found
Strawberries at their best.
BALTIMORE, Nd, May. A. ID. 1900.
Corpse of Man Found in a Barrack-Had
Been Dead Long Time.-The body of an
unknown man, decomposed beyond recogni-
ton, and almost entirely covered with hay,
was found on Wednesday morning in a bar
rack on the White Hall Manor farm of Mr.. Jo-
seph Friedenwald, in Worthington Valley.
The discovery was made by some farm Ia
borers who sought shelter from the rain.
The hay in which the body lay buried had
been harvested in 1903 but newer lot had
been placed on top of this in 1904, which fact
accounts for the body not being discovered
sooner. The remains were found between the
crops of 1908 and 1904, leading to the belief
placed in the barrack.
Undertaken Seby, who buried the remains
on the farm where found, gave the opinion
that the man had been dead at least year,
and perhaps two years.
The body was evidently not that of an ordi-
nary tramp. The man had been well dressed,
being clad in a good suit of dark clothes, and
wearing pair of tan shoes, which were proba-
bly new at the time of his death. His pockets
contained $7.68 in money, an open-faced watch
and chain and memorandum book. The
latter contained a number of entries which
showed the dates of the setting of several hens,
as though the deceased had been engaged in
the breeding of chickens for himself or others
on rather extensive scale. Apistol, with one
chamber empty, was found near the right hand
of the corpse, which was lying partly on the
right side. The man wore light SLOUGH bat
and had an artificial set OF upper teeth. the
lower front teeth being good: He was about 5
feet 8 inches in height and had rather dark
sandy hair.
Justice ]. Smith Orrick summoned a jury Of
INQUEST who viewed the remains and then ad-
journed until Friday evening. Mr.. Charles
A. Councilman was foreman of the jury.
