How Is this for a prose peem f it Is original with the Minneapolis Tribune and is as follows: HHow dear to my purse Is the new-fashioned bonnet, the hat that I bought as a gift to my wife; a smalt piece of straw with an ostrich plume on It, tbe last hat that I'll buy while 1 still have my life.

THE following extract Is from an exchsnge and truthfully states the case: Because a young maa who wanted to preach was told that ho ought to fol­ low the plow, he atempted suicide. It Is very sad to be obliged to work Tor a living and a terrible disgrace to obey the scriptural injunction by earning one's bread by the sweat of his faee. We don't bet, for we are averse to los­ ing money, but we would be willing to wager all the profits we shall make on railroad stocks in the next sixtv days, that the honest. God-fearing plowman stands a better shew of a seTeot seat In the better land than does the preacher who proclaims the gospel because he Is too good to werk. We had rather trust to the redeeming influence of a good, sharp-pointed plow than to a formal, Insincere prayer. THE complimentary passes given to newspaper men byia county fair asso­ ciation in Michigan read as follows: "This ticket has probably been paid for a dozen times over by the paper to which It Is Issned.

The splendid success Is owing largely, If cot wholly, to the notices so freely given It by the press; and, while we cannot render an equiv­ alent In casta, we retura our grateful thaaks.--Newsbaper Union, HE Steamboat proprietors havs eon puttlog in a temporary dam bove the Iron bridge,~ln this vlllige for the purpose of raising tbe water XsatocgAL sis raises were held in this village on Monday, under the dl rectlonof tbo ladiee, and although of not quite as imposing a character as tn some other places, nevertheless were of a very Interesting nature, and ex­ pressed the feelings of our citizens who delight to hOnor those who, in the hour of peril, bared their breasts to the rebel bullet, or died from di­ sease contracted while defending the flag of their country. Tbe procession, headed by tbe McHeary Military Band, started from the residence of James B. Perry at 3 o'clock, but being caught in a shower of rain took refuge In the public school bulldtng. where they lis­ tened to an eloquent and patriotic ad­ dress by «H. V. Shepard, Esq., after which they proceeded to the cemetery and decorated the graves of the soldier dead with an abundance of choice and beautiful flowers. The ceremony was beautiful and Impressive, and made tbe heart of the old soldier glad to know that his comrades In arms were being thus remembered. The ladies wish us to return their thanks to all who assisted them la this matter, and especially to Mr. H. T„ Shepard for his very eloquent aod able address, and to tbe Band for the very ine mu­ sic furnished for the occasion. It was a day that will bo remembered with ple.tsure by all. MR. L.

We know by good authority that In prop­ erly adapting glasses to defective eyes, he has no equal. If you have trouble with your eyes and you were usable to consult him during his visit to Woodstock, you should not lose this rare opportunity to consult him, as It can be done free of charge.

MANY boys To preyent creaking hinges, and make latches slide easily, aod Indeed to reduce any refractory Iron work to terms, the application of a sort lead pencil is equally as effective as oil. One clear advantage Is that the use of a peneil obviates the chaoses of soil­ ing the hands or garments, while the annoyance is ordinarily removed by a very few touches of the pencil.

It is the only correct barometer, and tells tbe tale as it really is.

The thief or tblfVft after gain­ ing an entranoo Into the house, enter­ ed Mr. Buck's sleeping room without awaking him. took his clothes and then evidently went tbrough Into the sa­ loon, where they rifled the pockets and where the clothes were found in the morning. Between the saloon and the part that was formerly used as a bakery. Is a door which Mr. Buck says was locked on the Inside, and after the robbery although this door was found locked, the key was missing, and it looks as If this was tbe way at which the thief departed, locking the door after him and taking tbe key. Detec­ tive Benthusen, la whose hands the matter was placed, visited this place on Friday and after investigation found that a man was at Buck's saloon en Monday before the robbery, a stranger and fomewbat inquisitive and suspicious In his actions. &e was a short, middle-aged man, light mus­ tache and hair eut short. As the key to the door above mentioned was on the Inside, It Is thought be might have got it at tbat time and as It was not missed let himself In and out tbat way, as the clJthes were found near that door the mornlag after the rob­ bery. Tbo next morning after the robbery this same man was seen at Johnsburgh about 4 or 6 o'clock tn tbe morning and displayed a large roll of money, treating all wLo came along. Be then suddenly disappeared. This Is the party Detective Benthusen is now looking for, aod I! the reports stated above aro true, tfcere Is little doubt but that ho is tb* right man.

He left them standing while getting some bran put out, and they started off, and in making an effort to catch them by the bit he was thrown down and the w^gon ran over his leg, and he was also hurt in the chest; bat he is doing well. The team ran down and went through I. C. Goodrich's picket fence and brought up against a tree in the rear of the heuse. All the damage done to the rig was a broken neckyoke.

Next came the young girls drossed in white with red, white and blue sashes, carrying flowers and garlands to be laid upon the little mounds that mark the resting place of those who nearly a quarter of a century ago gave up their lives for their loved country.
