We watched the gay reunion die
Beneath a wild September sky,
And from the threshold of the fair
We dragged its limp corpse by the
hair,
That more enduring things might
take
The place of pomp, parade, and
fake.

nesday, August 30. The groom is one
of Greeley's excellent young men Of
such predictions and physique as to
belittle the difficulties of life. The
bride is a successful teacher, refined
and an accomplished lady moving
high in society, and happily disposed
to encounter the duties that lie before
her. This happy pair will begin their

The rugged hill sloping southwark
from the northwest corner of section IA
was the scene of most distressing
accident Sunday, Sept. 3. While
Ira Johnson was indulging in the
fierce delights of bicycle coast, the
fore wheel turned suddenly crosswise
and the machine flung it's rider high
in the air. Ira lit in such way as to
completely wreck his right shoulder
by breaking both the clavicle and
the scapula and otherwise injuring the
mechanism of the shoulder. DR..
Riley, of Extra, was summoned at
once and pronounced the injury very
serious. but applied his skill as a
surgeon in such Il way as to put Ira
on the way to recovery. He said,
however, that two or three months
would be required to place Ira back
on full duty.
LETTERING ON THE HILLS.
Oh, would that I could eternize
My days bel elth these autumn skies;
Then would my voyage down life's
stream
Be one long sweet delightful dream.
With flowers along the way to touch,
But not to pluck, else JOY too much
Would flood my soul and cease to
bless,
BY drowning me in sweet excess.
In mild September's hazy light,
| watch the may swallows flight,
Hand shading eyes to catch the last
Faint tlutter where it seemed they
passed
Into the calm cloud spangled blue,
Now one, now many, then few.
Oh, would that l myself might fling
Aloft upon such nimble wing,
And glide serenely through the air
Beyond the clouds, sorrow and care
The sun is gone; tits growing late.
The COWS are lowing at the gate
Restless to have some kindly hands
Unload the OVERT flowing Glands
