THE FOREST LAKE.

Within the sunfecked forest shade,
With Joy, sought the peaceful pool.
Watched the deer through ripples wade,
Near the spread of lilies cool.
Heard wood-vireo singing high
Among the branches of the trees
Ger her nest where fiedgliDgs lie
Lightly rocked by passing breeze.
Watched the partridge lead her brood,
Under bramble, through the brake,
Blissful in their solitude,
Ferny coyerts long the lake.
Gladstone voice from thrushes heard.
Sweetest trills that wake the breeze,
Dip of wings, the waters stirred,
Song praise for pool, among the trees,
Love the wood, the shady pool,
The forest path, the songstsrs' voice
Wild-rose H-bloom near waters cool,
In beauteous life, rejoice.

Safe Blower, ob,arn No leos.

At o'cicck Sunday morn-ng citizens residing h close proximity to Main street, Van Buren, were aveEs1ei ey loud report and a fes minutes laie- the officers found that the large safa in the postofiee had been blown most successfully, fragments being scattered about the room The safe contained less than s50 that Postmaster Smith had thrown on the bottom Of the safe and this the thieves overlooked and not pe1ny or stamp vas taken.
 Two men were seen running from the building directly after the explo- sion and the su2position is that they were frightered away before they had rifed tGe safe. A crude lantern made out of a tomato can, their candle, soap and other tools used were found on the floor. as we'll as one of their hats.
 Several splotches of blocd were found shoat tte fcor and there is li;. tle doubt but that cae of tie men was wounded by the explosion. Tae men went in the direction of the nsua tain 10 the west Of Van Buren, asd the officers have been unable 10 get any trace Of them.

Hutchison also rescued one girl, whose name l could not be ascertained. No bodies have been recovered Details of the tragedy are meagre. The boat left Clarendon early in the evening bearing a merry party who had planned 10 go several miles down the river.
 But five miles below Clarendon the boiler of the launch exploded with ter rife effect, wrecking the boat and hurl- 1 ing the occupants into the river, which st that point, more than fifty feet 1 from shore, is very deep Survivors can I give no account of what followed. Few l could swim and some were stunned by | the force of the explosion and went 1 down before swimmers in the party could make an effort al rescue. II was two hours after the tragedy before it was known at Clarendon. Parents of the young people be- came uneasy because of their 1 prolonged absence and runners were sent down the river in l hopes of locating them. They returned | with news of the terrible catastrophe. The seven who survived were found by the river bank, where they wait ed in vain in hopes Of locating some | of the missing. All was wild excitement there, the dead numbering some of the most prominent and popular of the younger set of that place. Preparations, how ever. were begun for dredging the river and parties have already gone to the scene of the tragedy.
 The boat was gasoline launch about 30 feet long and capable of seat. | ing 20 or p people. IL was owned by E. 4. Faifer. one of those who es- capped and who saved the lives of a number Of the women of the party. It had frequently been used for like excursions
 None can even surmise the cause of the explosion.
