Frank A. Greer, Esq, had to use ladder
last week to reach his law office over the
WoOdcock store on Main street. There
was a stairway between that building and
the Dinsmore store, and the roof over it
gave way with the weight of snow on it and
crashed down, carrying the stairway with
it and reducing stairway and roof to kind
ling wood. Judge Greer had left his office
a short time before. The Grape hung on
his Office door had no relation to this catas-
trophy, it is said, but was hung there by two
of his Democratic brothers and is supposed
to have a political significance.

EASTER
Tomorrow, when the duties stern of life
Have swallowed us again within their strife,
And when the call to work that must be
done,
Through all our nerves and sinews seems
to run;
When as we struggle on, our faltering tread
Seems but to lead to rOugher roads ahead,
Then shall the thought of lessons taught
Alright
Open new vistas to our failing sight.
Teach us the lessons old, decay life brings
That worms are butterflies without their
wings.
The tomb that once upon an Easter day
Gave back to life that which to man was
clay
Is shown each Easter when smiling spring
From out winters death new life doth
bring;
AS, rising from the tomb of mother earth,
All nature wakens as at second birth.
The snow that drips from off the southern
The crocus with its first unfolding leaves,
The willows opening. buds beside the
The morning bird song and the twilight
Seem Whispering of life and summer days,
And paths of beauty wound through
happier ways;
All nature now Is calling to the ear
Rise up, have hope, for Easter time is here.
