BURIAL' OF THE PAST. 'Twee the night before the wedding And the house was Riled with veal, After all the pleasant greetings Quietly-the household rests. Only one from out the many Still is sitting by the are— the bride, who on the morrow. Wllf hare left her home and sire. With her hair unbound and falling, Like a mantle to the floor, Theri she sits among her treasures, For the last time she looks them o'er. One by one. she reads each letter, Then consigns It to the name ; Prom its case she takes a picture, And her white lips close In pain For the face Sullies out upon her As of oiddt Used to do; Ere that bitter night of parting, When each spoke what was not true,. freMbling Angers slowly clasp tt, Drop it on the embers red ; e'er again will she ill:told For that face to her Is dead. There are violets in the casket And a lock of 'sort, dark hair; ! There are books a•_d little trinkets - And the ring she used to wear.' Tn the firelight, while therm liciflang, Is't a fancy or a dream, That again she sees the river. And the old familiar scene, Where ro often they bad rambled In the autumn afternoon; Vtitere on summer nights they floated 'llld the ItHes, 'Death the noon On the hen,llll the hex Afro emptied, In the gtate the fire buria.lovr, And the girl stands white strintlent., As the last faint entbersgiow. Streaks of gray are Mewl/ creeping Crer the portals of the moon ; Ilath the night the old life paSses— .. - Dawning brlngs k her hopes new-born. 11..liolrtrtsun fn Ciere/and Herald. BURLINGTON ITEMS EDITOR REPORTER :—There are many 'changes in the way of business in our heretofore quiet(town, in anticipation of an active spring trade. The location of the County Poor louse so near hasa.rous , . ed up some krf-the slumbering. ones and given a new impetus to business men hereabouts, and wo trust their most san giiine expectations may be realized. r Among other latures, we are to i have tWo' new stores.

Mrs. T. C. PUOCTOI; and Miss FAINTE HILL have gone to the, city to spend a couple of weekvattending, openings and purchasing - goods preparatory to the spring and summer trade in millinery and dress-making. They are thoroughly en terprising in their business, and welt wor thy the patronage of all. _I MonGAN & BnowN, blacksmiths, are kept busy all the day long hammering iron. They are very popular workmen, and having secured the work far Poor House, will probably have all they can attend to for the coming summer. Burlington, March 24, 1880. ARE TOMATOES CANCEROUS? Our correspondent at Ashland. records the death of Auntie CONHIGIN,• of East Smithfield, Pa., to the following unpleas anteffect. The 'supposition that tomatoes are the cause of cancprs is held by many people, but we think wrongfully. How over, the accompanying resemblances are doubtless correct, although incidental. Our correspondent says : "We are shocked to learn of the horrible death of old Auntie CONK LIN, of East Smithfield, Pa., who was -well known and respected in this vicinity. She has been 'suffering some time from the ravages of a cancer on her face, and it had progressed to such a state that she breathed through an aperture which it made behind her car. Her friends have given her the best of care, anti attended to every want, until death claimed her as his follower. But she now rests, 'Asleep in JESUS, peaceful sleep.' Several friends ~. _„who have been to see her, say they will never eat another tomato, as the fabric of the cancer represented a tomato in ev ery line and lineament, not even the seeds excepted. We understand she was a great lover of said fruit. if there is any thing the medical report of tomatoes producing _cancers, why has there not been more attention paid to it? We should be pleased to read somebody's opinion in the columns of this 'paper."- -Eitqrci 'Advertiser. WOLVES are prowling about in the for eats of Bradford County.— Willicinutpor Banner. —Wrong, neighbor. There is no such small game as wol'Ves prowling about the - forests of this. county. = But the woods arqust full of lions, tigersi, hyenas, and leopards. It is fro unusual thing for oae of our sportsmen to bag alialf dozen tigers or seven or eight lions in a half day's hunt. 'Twas only a few days ago that we met one- of them returning from a day's reereation with a string of fourteen hyenas, eight lions and four leopards, and it was not a good day either, as it was too windy for close Wing shooting. But come up and we'll take you out for, a few Lours' sport in the Wysox Pine Plains, near the Fair Grounds, where it is rumor ed a large flock of hippopotami and black - rhinoceros are at present filling the tree tops and building their nests. About six 1 weeks fMrt,now will be the best time to come, as the young birds will be then just right to broil, and there isn't a more rel ishable dish known to epicures than a nice , ly done broiled younghippopotami or rhi noceros. Although it requires great care on the part of the cook, as they are very tender skinned, and if it becomes broken in the process of cooking a large amount of the flavor is lost from the meat, But come up, and bring a double-barrelled .crass-gun. It's the best weapon for this kind of sport. MARKING TILE BATTLE-FlELD.—Repre sentative BINGHAM. of Philadelphia, has introduced a bill in the House to provide for mailing the positions of the regiments and batteries on the battle-field of Gettys burg, which w're engaged in that action.

After the flattering experience of the past year, having had a very large and extended sale, we find that the Tux Ranson Corrado Is tint ersally conceded to 'be the most desirable Range of Its class in the market, Its general features the same as in the celebrated Ransom Range. which has for years been considered the finest Range e. It contains the Patent Ertgalialem Itrolltletg Chamber, which is universally acknowled to be the only successful and practical braille( attach ment in use. It Is also furnished with 11 gels's 'Patent fluplex Grate. This celebrated Orate Is extremely simple In its construction. It has now been in active use far more than live years, sad In view of the universally successful ex Hence of Its operation and durability during that time, as well as the highly satisfactory results obtal ed by us Inoue own thorough trial of its qualities, we have no hesitation In pronouncing It the only co pieta and successful arrangement for removing clinkers sad refuse from the firebox instantaneously, °numbly and cleanly, while the degree of combustion obtained has never, In bur opinion, been equ d with any other style of grate. Tux RANSOM COTTAOII Is a. thoroughly first-class Range in all lie portions and appointments, while the price fa extremely low. It Is so onstructed that it can be changed from a Low Closet to a Single Oval Range, by merely lifting the u r part of the Range from the Low Closet and placing it upon a set of Ornamented legs. All sizes also be furnished with the Ornamental Elevated Shelf. The large Baled Ash Pan is taken out at th end of the Range instead of the front—a lunch more eon. veulent and clean! arrangement—and the tattoos Warming Closet extends underneath the whole Range. The Hot Water Reservoir is heated !direly from the bottom, and Is of a larger capacity than will be found on any other Range of this cl .

The enormous proportions attain ed by the tobacco crop of Litricaster county, its rapidly increasing impor tance, the vast wealth it is pouring into the pockets of our farmers, and the large profits it returns to the growers, have drawn the attention of all persons interested in the trade, either as consumers or planters. • In response to a request, we pub lish below the subjoined directions, intended to aid beginners in growing . tobacco. They Will be found suffi ciently minute for all pr i actical pur poses, and if stricttgard is paid to the methods here ladown, the re sult will, no dOubt, r be found satisfac tory. Mr. Frantz is- one of our most experienced and intelligent growers, and speaks from many years of actual experiende. - His methods, as here flail ,down, - embrace the practice of our most successful plant- i era, and when strictly adhered to, will no doubt give as good 'results elsewhere as they have done here, 1 soil and climate being favorable. , Experience, ' however, is the great' teacher; careful instructions will go far, but they must be supplimented by actual experiment growing, : fine tobacco is not to be learned in a single season, but the knowledge 'gained 1 one season must be increased during subsequent ones; in fact the tobacco planter is never done learning, but every succeeding year contributes its quota to his• already acquired store I of information. - 1 How to Raise Tobacco. The culture of tobacco has assum ed such Proportions as to make it' one 'of, inot the mostlAmportant crop, in monetary point of view, in Lances r county.

The prime requisite is a piece of ground, of rich soil, and protected from cold winds. This should be prepared in the fall, by spading and manuring, and about April 1, sow 'seed at the rate of a tablespoonfill, to one. hun dred square yards. Having previous ly pulverized the soil thoroughly, then rake it gently,', and pat the surface with back of a spade to bring the seeds in close contact with the ground. Mixing the seed with, say a peck of wood ashes, facilitate the sowing of the mixture with regularity. How to Grow Strong Plants. A covering of the bed with hog bristles bas a wonderful influence in promoting the development of the plant. The bristles may be removed, after the plants hay attained a growth , of three or four leaves, and preserved for future use, a rake being the best Means of removal. Frequent sprink ling is, indispensable, as moisture is an active promoter of all vegetable' growth. 4 solution of some active fertilizer applied in liquid form is of great benefit.
