awarded to Messrs Thomas F. Simmons, ol

they being tbe lowest bidders. Tbe bids

tbe work to be pushed forwatd with great

Tbe Elizabeth Monitor tells tbe following
amusing story: At oue of tbe railroad
depute in the vicinity of Elizabeth intrud

wise: A countryman purchased a ticket,
and thus addressed tbe agent:
"Stranger, I waut to leave my dog iu
this 'ere office until tbe train stalls. I'm
alraid somebody will steal him."
" fou cant do It," said tbe clerk. "Take
him out."
"Well, stranger, that Isoruel; but you're
both ditposltioned alike, and he's kinder
company for you."
"Take hi m out "roared tbe clerk.
"Well,-stranger, I don't tbiuk you're bon
est, and you want watching. Here, Dra
goon," be said to the dog, "sit dowu bore,
and watch that follow sharp!" and, turning
on bis heel, said to tbe clerk, "Put blu
out, stranger, if be Is troublesome."
Tbe dog lay there till the train started,
wntohlug and growling at every movement
of tbe clork, wbo gave him tbe better part
of his office.

A Toncblasr Obituary
Tbe following tender and" touching obitu
ary is from tbe Detroit Post :
Died, in Ypsilanti, oa the morning of the
9th of August, 1870, Jerry, aged 11 months
2 weeks, 3 days and 4 hours, infant sou of
Josep h and Syrena Howels.
Grim death has taken darling little Jerry,
Tbe son of Joseph and Syrena How
els Seven day? be wrestled with the dysentery,
And then be perished in bis little bow
els. It was nlbe Saviour that wanted little
Jerry,
Which suffers little children to come
unto Him
It's probable now that he's practicing
very
Assidlout like, bit little angel hymn.
Most likely
'twas weaning injured little
Jerry,
His bottle seemed
tone
to damp his stomach's
But with tbe angels he'll get plump and
merry,
For there's no nursing bottles where he's
gone.
A brakeman named Pancake; was killed
on tbe Jefferson vllle and Indianspolis
Railroad at MansQeld, Tuesday evening.
Sir Edward Thornton left Quebea yes
terday for Washington.
Four men were seriously injured yester
day afternoon by the falling of a floor ia a
new building being erected on Washington
street, Chicago, on which they were eu
gaged in handling Iron eolumgs. They will
probably all recover.
No human remains bave yet been dis
covered in tbe ruins of recent Ore at Chicago
Seven persons are mlsssing, aud It is very
probable that they perished at tbe time of
tbe Ore.
