One of the Old Settlers.Among the first settlers of the now flour-
ishing city of Grand Bapids, Mioh., wereMr. and Mrs. Willard Sibley, who removedthere from Peru, Clinton County, N. Y.> in1834.
Mr. Sibley's occupation, after his settle-ment in the West, was that of a river boat-man, first managing a pole boat betweenthe rapids and the mouth of Grand Biver.
.s soon as steamboats appeared upon theriver, Mr. Sibley was placed in oharge as
iptain, and continued in that oapacity un-til failing health compelled him to relin-quish its labors and responsibilities.
A daughter, Sarah, married Mr. A. B.Turner, editor of the Grand Bapids Eagle.

The above portrait having appeared inthe columns of Mr. Turner's paper, we arepermitted to place it before our readers,thinking that the older people of Peru andSohuyler Falls will be interested to see it.She was born in Peru in 1803. She was awoman of great energy and perseveranoe,but modest, unassuming and retiring inher manners.
Trapped at B i s Own Game.Some weeks ago the papers printed what
was alleged to be the Canadian way oftrapping the pesky English sparrows, andone of the sorrowful results of that act istold by a Sandy Hill correspondent of theFort Edward Clipper, as follows :
A hater of sparrows, just outside ourcorporate limits, read in a Glens Fallsp iper that the birds could easily be caughttoy feeding them bread soaked in liquor.He thought he would investigate the mat-ter and bought a pint in which he soakedbread. He just happened to taste of thepreparation, and he liked it. Then hebrushed the crumbs from his whiBkers toobfterve their effect upon the pests. Hesaid to himself: "Bread is the staff oflife, and so ia whisky. Combine the twoand yon hare staff, crutch and all." Mean-while he kept on eating. Only one pairof the lone-born sparrows assisted him inthe feast, but they, in his vision, in-creased until the enow was fairly coveredwith them, he thought. Then the flockbegan to get ''tight," he surmised, and heeonoladed to watch them until they, tippedover. Just then his dog came along andhe rubbed his eyes in astonishment andsaid: "Hello, Tip! By Jove, there are twoof you!" His wife, observing him munch-ing what was left of the loaf, opened thedoor and asked him "what under the sunbe was doing!" "Washin' the birds," hesaid; "don't you see how they double up—birds and dogs ?" At this point his wifedrew him into the kitchen," doubled himnp in a chair behind the stove, whereatthis husband whom she had addressed as aduck during their oourtship, looked in astate of bewilderment at her and said:"My-dear-you'r-as-drunk-as-the-sparrows."
A raetbodiHt Minister's Good Fortune,About a year ago the Bey. S. M. William;
moved to North Adams, Mass., from Cam-bridge, 'Washington oonnty. With his fam-ily was an old lady, Mrs. Mary J. Mooney,who was supposed to be dependent on Mr.Williams' bounty. Last week Tuesday sh(died suddenly of heart disease, aged 72years. It is now stated that she left Mr.Williams $60,000 unconditionally. Whenthe old lady's husband died Mr. Williamssettled the estate, and she asked that shemight make her home with him. She gavehiax $15,000, with which he is now build-ing a blook in Troy. She bas now left himthe blook in Troy, a large farm in CentralNew York, and $10,000 in cash.

From the Essex Co. Republican.Fern Lake Trotting.
The quiet borders of Fern Lake, AusableForks, witnessed an unusual sight on Fri-day and Saturday of last week. It was theassemblage of some five hundred people towitness the races of the Ausable ' ForksTrotting Association, at their annual meet,which if not entirely successful as far cfast trotting was concerned was certainlyvery pleasant occasion toali who attended,At noon of each of the day's racing, teamsbegan wending their way toward the plaoof rendezvous and at 2:30, when the raoeswere called, the shining surface of thelake presented an animating scene. Twiraces were booked for Friday and the samefor Saturday, but owing to lack of entriesonly the named race was trotted on Fridayand the free-for-all on Saturday.
In the first of these there were two en-tries, "Quebec Boy," owned by E. S.Kemp, and "Bay Dan" and the latter,owned by Israel Bigelow, easily provedthe fastest horse. In the free-for-all, Sat-urday, there appeared to be prospect ofcloser race. Three horses were entered,'Peddler," owned by E. S. Kemp; "Ben
B.,uowned by Wm. Harper, and "ChasmMaid," owned by Horace Page. Keesevillsucceeded in taking first and second "BenB." easily leading and "Chasm Maid" sec-ond in three straight heats. Time 2:50.Messrs. O'Brien and F. Beede aoted asStarting Judges for the races and Messrs.J. P. Flanders and Jas. Rogers as Decid-ing Judges.
A characteristic cf the meet was theabundance of fine horses upon the course.Noticeable among them was the promisingfour-year-old, "Daisy D." owned by Mr.J. O. DeKalb, of Ausable Forks. We trustthat the Association will undertake anoth-er gathering in the near future.
The Oldest mason in the Country.The distinction of being the oldest
Mason in the country, acoording to theRntland Herald, undoubtedly belongs toJudge John B. Hollenbeck of Burlington,Tt., who has jnst celebrated the ninety-sixthmniversary of his birth. He witnessedthe battle of Plattsburgb, and a few yearsago he was able to give many interestinglocal reminiscences in connection with the
>ries of contests between the Americansand English on Lake Champlain. He israpidly growing feebly and is not likelyto survive long.

TWO P I C T U R E S .I T ANNA M. BOTSFORD.
A happy home; Its hope and joyWas centered In a nocle boy,An only son, a manly youth.Trained In the righteous ways of truth.His childhood plays were guarded well;He strove, In college to excel,So, when life's duties be began,He bore this name,—'an honest man.'
He sought In life a noble aim,Earning himself an honest name;Trusted, revered, the poor man's mend.With ready hand to give or lend.No blighting habits marred his health,But industry combined with wealth,In perfect union joiced to blessAnd crown his lire's work with success.
Another home; an only child,On whom fair fortune's rays hath smiled,A happy boy so bright and gay,And later in hts college day,Hla gifted mind and talents rare.Gave promise to his prospects fair;And yet no aim in life he sought,For he had wealth enough, he thought.
No honest labor had he done,Because he was a 'rich man'* son.'But in society's gay round,Where is too often danger found,Where oft is frivolous display,His youth's best years were passed away.Until, at last, wine's helpless slave,He filled the lowly drunkard's grave.
That brightest boy in childhood's plays.That leader in his college days,By drink, when he became a man,Had blighted ev'ry cherished planHad ruined health and brain and soul;Had spurned advise, lost self-control,And all because he ne'er could passThe 'poisonous pleasures' of the glass.
