BAD MOMENT.
The Binghamton ilepubittan aaya that AL
few weeks Ago .a .person giving hia nude as
Henty Ward,. got possession of a piece of goods
worth $5O in, that , city and ..attempted to run
, away -without paying - therefor. He was cati
tured near the depot and placed in jail. , .
. The true. name - orthe offender is Clam**
Wakely. He is a resident of Elmira, where 1e
had lived for about four weeks previous to his
advent in tinghamton: He Moved to Elmira
froth Detreit, - Michigan in hopes of finding
work. He is a surveyor, and bas the carpen
ter's trade to fall back upon. Just now there
is nothing iloing in surveying,' and the carpen
ter trade to fall back is without substance
or shadow of Subsistence. •
'Wakely went to Binghamton in search of
work; he says, as he hear& there was a good
deal of building going on there. He :left his
wife and three children with' fifteen cents to
subsist upon until he should return. He failed
to get Work, and he also failed to return to his
destitute wards.
Hie operations there were his last desperate
resort, and the last effort he has been allowed
to make.
There is an interesting advFoure , aside from
this) and love and romancer connected. with
Wakely's history. He is now twenty-six.'ye4rs
r of age. When about twelve years of age he
was': attending school in New Haven. With
out obtaining consent from parent or teacher,
he enlisted as a drummer boy in a .Con--.
necticut volunteer regiment, then leaving New -
Haven . for the front .' He served during the re
mainder of the war, and was honorably .dis
charged when his regiment, was mustered out.
He was in the battle 'of Antietam ? which was
witnessed by many of the people of the'neigh
borhood, among them a young girl, the daugh :
ter of a farmer who owned a portion of the
land upon which the battle was'. fought. An
acquaintance was formed betweeri the brave
drummer boy and bright, brave salmi girl,
which ripened into marriage. .They have since
lived in Washing,ton, Detroit and Manchester,
Michigan. In those places,, leis said by pri
vate letters received, since his arrest, he bore a
good reputation.
The girl of Antietani,now the wife, and three
little ones, (the, oldest less than four years old,)
with less than fifteen , cents resources and no
more" h prospect, have possibly been , the ineans
of eastiirg a well-meaning man into a rellmiless
. .
prison.
This is the story as'.told' by the prisoner and
his friends. The District Attorney niay l intro
duce an altogether .different chapter, and one
which will outwi4gh - the romance of Antietam; .
but theThestitute, wife and children are real,lia
disputable evidences of the fact of SO mticY•of
the story as ,relates to them. , •

DEDICATION AND UNVAILINq OF THE
SOLDIERS' MONUMENT. •
The Monument Assaciiition have been
earnestly working . for the early completion of
the Monument. In march last - they entered
into a contract with Barnes Blending & Co., to
furnish the statue which, when placed in posi
tion, will complete the Monument proper. A
contract has been recently 'made with Burnes
&White of Tunkbannock to furnish the Tablets
on which are to be carved the names of. those
who died or were killed in the Service from
each town. The present statya of the work
warrants the Association in making, the "an.
nouncement, that the monument will be dedi
eated and the statue unveiled on the 4th of .
July .1877. At its , hist meeting, the associa
tion appointed an Executive committee con
sisting of Messrs Beardsley, Searle, Hawley
Warner and Crocker to make the necessary ar
rangements, and as soon as said committee
report, the association' wilinunimtice thirorder
of exercises &c., &c.

THE. ROMANCE OF THE' CARPET. •
Thig,breath of May! and thO day was fair,
Add the bright -motes danced in the balmy air.
,And= tile sunlight gleamed where the restless
breeze
; Kissed the fragrant bloom on the apple-trees.- ,
* * * * * *
His beardless cheek with a smile was. spanned,
As he stood wilh a carriage-whip in his hand.
And be laughed as be doffed his bob-tail coat,
And the echoingfolds . oUthe carpet smote. '
And she smiledias she leaned, on her busy: mop,
And said she would tell hhn when to stop.
So he pounded away till the dinner-bell,
Gave him a little breathing spell. '
But he sighed when the kitchen. clock struck
And she said the carpet wasn't done:
But he. loyingly- put in his biggest licks,
And pounded like - mad-till the cluck struck six..
Aud she said, in a dubious kind of way,
That she gutssed he could finish it up next day.
Then. all_ that day, and the next day, too,
: The fuzz from the dirtiest carpet flew.
And she'd give„it a look at eventide,
An d say, "Now beat on the other side."
AIN the new days came. as the old days went,
And the landlord came for his monthly rent.
And the neighbors laughed at the tireless broom,
And his face wasshaclowed, with clouds of gloom.
Till at last, one cheerless winter day,
Ele kicked ut'the carpet and slid away.
Over the fence and down the street.,
Speeding away with lootstep . k
•
And never again the morning Sun
Smiled at him. beating his carpet-drum.
And the villagers often said, with a yawn,
" Where has the carpe martyr goce

And he gathered it up-with a sad, grim smile.

OLD TIMR,UURES:
It would appear that nothing could be more
absurd than the notions which prevailed in by- -
gone days—and, not wholly now extinct—re
garding cures. According lt6 this, a ring made
of the hinge of a coffin had' the power of re
cramks—which were also ; mitigated,
too, by having a rusty sword, hung tip by the
bedside.% Nails driven into an oak tree prevent
ed-the'tonthaclie-. ,A Wilier that had served in
hanging a,crintinal was, an infallible remedy
for headache, and" this ailment was likewise
equally dispelled by the moss growing on a hu
man skull, dried and pulverized and taken as a
cephalic snuff. 44ead man's hand could erad
icate tumor Or tc:Lv - glands by, stroking' the
parts, ninetimes ;'hut the :hand *of a mantwho
had becia cut dOwn from the gallows was more
efficacious. 80, too, the chips of - a gallows on
which several personS had been banged would,
when worn in a hag round the neck,cure the
ague. Equally noVel was Abe belief, at one
time held by many persons, that a stone.with
a ho)e in' it, suspended at the end ot. a bed,
would effectually overcome the nightmare ;
hence it was called: a hangstone, as it prevent.;
ed the troublesome twitches tromeitting upon
the sleeper's. stomach, Rickety children *ere
cured by - being drawn through a cleft tree.

cess of reuniting, so the acquired its need
