The ManaSquan Banks Failure.

The First National bank, wrecked by Its
president, Morgan Delaney Magee, whose
suicide last week brought to light loan of
$780, by the institution to the New Jer-
say and West Virginia Bridge company,
now bankrupt, will recover less than $25 900
of this sum. The stockholders Of the bank
will be called upon to make good the short
age of $4,000.
The combined losses will not only eat
up the surplus Of 800, 900, but the proba-
bility is that the stockholders will have to
pay more than they did for their stock when
the bank was organized
The receiver Of the bridge concern has e&-
pressed the belief shat creditors will not re-
ceive more than Is per cent. Of their claims
at most. Despite this, however many bust
ness men Of the town believe the bank will
recover dollar for dollar from the concern in
some unknown manner, SO great was their
trust in the defaulting president.
Magee was treasurer OF the Manasquan
Building and Loan association, and the
funds Of that organization are tied up IN
the wrecked bank.

 New York Central and Delaware & Hudson railroads assembled at Water bury, Sunday, and formed Waterbury division No. 7, Order of Railroad Sta tion Agents.

THE SANDY HOOK GLEN.

In asking me where you should go 10 spend vacation, you know, I'd say right off "The prettiest nook Is the sylvan glen at Sandy Hook" " Sandy Hook is the place for me If I'm going for comfort and rest to
 see; Up on Mount Pisgah there's a lovely
 view That, beholding, would thrill you thro'
 and thro'. On very clear day with aid of glass We can just see the Sound and the
 ships that pass, While below us the lovely Pootatuck Glides over falls and through many a
 nook. From the mountain we go down dear little path, To a brook that is rushing from
 springs aftermath, And down a steep precipice over sharp
 rocks With imminent danger to skirts and to
 frocks. Let us follow the river down into the
 glen And enjoy all its beauty from sight of all men. We can see ice in summer from cliffs
 hanging down And the water is deep, one could easily
 drown. Quite ways down in the glen is a
 bridge, That crosses the river and leads on to
 a,ridge, Where a few houses are, all farm
 houses too; And who come to the Hook, all their
 trading to do. If you don't believe, that the words
 state Are true. you must go and find out.
 Don't wait! And looking for rest and lovely view You'll scarce find its equal, old Connec-
 ticut through.

OUR COMRADES.
READ AT THE MEMORIAL DAY DISCREPANCIES, MONROE, BY J. w. ANDERSON.

In memory of comrades now passed
 from earth away, Ordered by the great commander
 whom none can disobey, To report up over wonder, beyond the
 great divide, Where they now are safe within the
 lines on the other side. In memory of comrades who have laid
 the mortal down, Who were summoned to headquarters
 to receive a victor's crown, On their graves we place love tokens
 to commemorate the tie. That binds us to our comrades in the
 sweet ty and by. Looking backward through the mist of
 years to those days of strife When hanging in the balance was our
 glorious nations life, We see the boys who volunteered,
 young ana strong, When life was not a burden. but a
 Sldu anu Hdppy soils. We look again in nineteen eight and
 see them past their prime, Only waiting in the twilight for the
 call of father time, Some five and forty years ago, when
 treasons flag was Haunting Over our beloved country they were
 weighed and found not wanting. The ranks are ,growing small as they
 near the other shore, Each year the Reaper calls for some
 forty thousand more, To join the great procession, who with
 unceaslng tread Pass across the borders to the cities of
 the dead. The marching days are over, and with
 muskets neatly stacked, They await the bugle call, knapsacks
 ready packed, Life's battle has been fought, and the
 orders are to rest, So they it around the camp fire as the
 sun sinks in the west. Tenting on the old camp ground. close
 to the border, Waiting for the messenger to come with
 marching orders, Soon as the evening shadows are lit-
 tie longer grown, The boys who wore the blue will cross
 to the unknown. But patriotism will not die when our,
 course is run, For love of flag and country is be
 queathed from sire to son, Younger men will fill our places, and
 old glory still will wave, When the boys who bore it to victory,
 slumber in the grave. The glorious starry banner will forever
 be borne high, And worthy Sons of Veterans will
 with each other vie, In raising high the standard, and keep ing it unfurled As the beacon torch of liberty, enlight-
 ening the world. We'll meet our comrades gone before
 in that peaceful land, When we fall in for inspection, and our Captain takes command, When he gives the order, forward.
 through the arch of heavens dome Will resound our songs of victory, in

There is no one who by his past his

better title to this honor than the ex-
viceroy. OF all living Englishmen he
probably has the closest acquaintance
