lie sang beneath the window "Oil, love, I will e'er be thine, "What's mine is thine, and thine is mine, My own sweet Valentine." Her papa heard the racket. With nimble foot he sped, And collared the crazy valentine And clubbed him over the head. ii. "And you shall be my valentine," lie whispered soft and low And like the rare and amber wine, Shall in the sunshine glow. 'And I shall love you always, sweet Shall be your own dear boy She looked into bis deep blue eyes And murmured "What d'ye soy An Odd Fellows' Funeral.

Mr. Joseph Hill, a member of West Fairview Lodge, No. 612, I. O. O.

Fifth Ward Alderman. The gentleman who has announced himself as an independent candidate for Alderman of the Fifth ward, because the Republican voters by a large majority declared him unfitted for and not meriting the posi tion, sleeks to justify his action by charging the officers of the primary election with crookedness and irregularity. Just how these traits were practised he neglects to state, neither does he explain how his opponent happened to receive three fourths of the entire poll.

The majority of Alderman Snoddy was so large that no election officers would dare to allow it to a man they had counted in. In addition, the character of the gentlemen who composed tho board is such no man, save he be blinded by prejudice and jealousy, would presume to accuse them of unfairness in the receiving and counting of votes at a primary election. All Republicans should vote for the candidate of their party, as he was legally and honestly nominated. WATCH PRESENTATION. A Testimonial to Auditor General Temple From His Many Friends.

Yesterday being the anniversary df Audi tor General Temple's birth and marriage, his many friends irrespective of party commemorated the event by presenting him with a very handsome gold watch, chain and masonic mark. On the back of the timepiece is the monogram F. and an inscription on the inside reads "Jus tus F. Temple, Presented by his Personal Friends, February 13, 1878." It is of fine nickel movement, set with rubies, and valued at 330. Last evening Mr.

Temple's friends gathered in the diuing room at the United States Hotel, and after being seated at tho table, Deputy Attorney General Lyman D. Gilbert, in a speech which may be charicterized as one of his happiest efforts, presented tho watch to Mr. Temnlfl. Thn MUer, who was suffering from a bad cold, deputized Mr. Thes.

The postman this morning staggered under the weight of Cupid's missives that ho carried with him. It was a red letter day for him, so far as big mail was concerned, and he found the leather bag he usually carries entirely too small to hold all tho letters, and so, he was compelled to use a hand cart. Many were the smiles that greeted him as he delivered tho missives, and many were the shrieks of horror he heard as they were opened. The postman halted his hand cart in front of the Telegraph door this morning early, and after carefully reading the inscriptions on a pile of suspicious looking envelopes he meandered into the office and laid them down. We were not forgotten.

We are afraid to say how many were sent us, lest we should bo accused of prevaricating. However, tho envelopes were opened one by one, and this is what we found: The first valentine that beamed on us was a huge interrogation mark, underneath it tho words "Inquisitive," and the following poetry: "This picture, pray view, find a worse they who can Than that sly, prying leech, "The Inquisitive Man Like a wasp or mosquito or blue bottle fly, Still pumping and squeaking like a pump running dry." The next envelope contained a picture of the "Conundrum Bore" withjellow hair, pink nose and a blue coat. The poetry runs thus: "Said Johnson, 'A man who'd perpet pun, Would steal a whale sheep, sir, and off with it rnn: But he who with jokes and conundrums folks It a plague even worse than Job's boil or his sores You may listen all time his clatter and din, But you'll nrver find out where the laugh should come la" Then there came a picture of a man with "A Finger in Every Pie," and you ought to have seen that man's nose Cro nin's was nowhere. He had yellow hair and salmon colored ears, and this beautiful poetry was at the bottom of his No. 12 boots "IIow are you friend meddler and intruding That must have a finger in every pie At rows, meetings, greetings, or o'er a dead cat, You are sure to be in with you gas and your chat." The next was a picture of a fox walking slyly along, carrying his tail slung over his arm by the way, his tail was painted pink, his whiskers yellow and he had on a cardinal necktie.

The poetry beneath the picture read: TALE BEARER. "You Busy Body to listen to a story, And carry it straight, is all your glory. You Scandal Monger! if you were treated right. You'd have your hide peel'd off this very night! You've wrought more mischief with your lying tongue, Than all the plagues of Egypt ever done. When you are dead, where can you turn your face? For the devil will not have you in his place." By the time we had waded through all this, we were prepared for anything, and therefore it was without any manifestation of surprise that we opened an envelope and looked at the picture of "An Honest 31 an, that never takes anything out of his reach." It was an honest looking man that we saw his fingers were about twice the regulation size and were of the hook order.

The poetry ran as follows "You'd not take anything out ot reach? of course you would not But, by the Lord Harry, what a reach you have got! An old wooden leg, or a pair of old crutches, Would stand little chance if they came in your clutches. It's no use asserting you're honest and right When you're around, we lock all the doors tight; And at the hot stove we all look askancd, For you'd carry it off, if you once got a chanoc." "This is awful," we shouted, "the red handed miscreant who sent us this shall answer for it with his heart's blood." Calming ourself we proceeded to read another. It was a picture of the "man who sees everything." Terribly appropriate, we thought, but how about the picture and the poetry The man had a head like a clothes basket, eyes like platters and a red necktie, and the poetry read: Pray "How arcTou," Mr. all spying roach? With your eyes like two lanterns stuck in a coach There is nothing escapes you before or behind, You can see in the dark as a pig sees the wind. To shut up your eyes for a flsn's Hn bone, Would require spectacles made of a mill stone.

Can it bo possible that the above valentines were meant for us? Is there no balm in Gilead Ah, yes, here it is. A dainty little envelope, covered over with cupids and bleeding hearts, and delicate tracery. We hated to spoil the envelope by opening it, but the sanctum scissors snapped off the end, gently we drow the rose tinted missive from its covering, and there was traced in writing of remarkable beauty: "Are you never going to pay that wash bill We want no more valentines. CITV LEGISLATION. Speeial Meeting of Common Council.

A special meeting of Common Council was held last night for the purpose of considering ordinances, making a levy and assessment of city tax for tho year 1878 making an appropriation to pay expenses of carrying on the municipal government for the year 1878, and to receive a report from the Committee on Highways. All the members were present except Messrs. Aikens, Barringer, Bickel, Butt, Casey, Pancake, Pass, Plowman, Reed, Shepler, Wells and Zollinger. The ordinance making a levy and assessment of city taxes for the year 1878 (17 mills) was read when Mr. Zarker moved to strike out 17 and insert 15 mills.

The amendment was not agreed to by a vote of 20 to 1 Mr. Zarger voting "yea." The ordinance making an appropriation for the year 1878, and transferring unexpended balances for the year 1877,. passed unanimously. An ordinance making an appropriation for official salaries for the year 1878, also passed by a unanimous vote. Common Council ordinance No.

205, making appropriations, was read as follows: Section 1. Be it ordained, That the following sums be, and the same are hereby, appropriated for the objects specified for the year 1878 Printing $1,100 00 Fire, fire alarm, city property and markets 00 Highways 6,000 00 Gas 8,000 00 Water 15,000 00 Rent, Mayor's office 400 00 Water pipe on Derry street 539 70 Water pipe on Penn street lot 79 Water pipe on Hummel street. 511 70 Water pipe on Vernon stret 2,000 00 Balance due for grading Herr street. 3,985 80 Damages State street 3,400 00 Contingent 1,000 00 Mr. Dare moved to add $200 to pay for rent of office for City Solicitor.

Mr. Dare's amendment was not agreed to by a vote of 8 yeas to 14' nays, and the ordinance as offered passed finally. An ordinance making an appropriation for the payment of the State tax and interest due on city bonds for the year 1878, passed finally. Mr. Beatty, from the committee to whom was referred the resolution asking by what authority the Citizen's gas and gaseous fuel company run their refuse matter into the city sewers, presented a report stating that the committee cannot find any authority granted that company for tapping the sewers.

The report was ordered to be filed. Mr. Wilson offered the following: Itesolced, That the Committee on Highways, Sewers and Paxton Creek be and are hereby authorized and empowered to abate the nuisance caused by the escape through the fcewers of ollensve vapors from the refuse matter from the works of the rZen gas and Saseous fuel company. Mr. Hartman presented the following as an amendment: 0 Whereas, The City Council had becliad vised that a nuisance has been committed by the Citizens' gas and gascous fueTcom pany and that a city ordinance has been violated therefore, be it Itesolced, That the City Solicitor be an thorized to inquire into the fact and report to this Council.

On the question Shall the amendment of Mr. Hartman.be adopted," the yeas and nays were required, and were as follows Yeas Messrs. Barnes, Hartman, Hol bert, Jauss, M'Cleaster, Reese, Rudy, Weiss, Wilhclm and Slentz, President 10. Nayl Messrs. Beatty, Cramp, Crumm, Dare, Ehler, Greider, Ilutter, Swartz, Weikle, Wilson, Young and Zarger 12.

The resolution of Mr. Wilson being before Council, Mr. Wilhclm raised the following point of order That the resolution, (under the explanation of the chairman of the Highway Committee) confers upon members of Council executice powers which is contrary to law the powers of members of Council being purely legislative. The Chairman decided tho point of order well taken. Mr.

Wilhclm then offered a resolution that the clerks of Common Council be directed to notify tho Citizens' gas and gaseous fuel company that complaint has been made to Councils by remonstrances, that a nuisance exists by reason of the company running their refuse matter through the city sewers, and that they be directed to take measures to abate the same, notifying Council of their intended action at their next meeting. On the question, Shall the resolution be adopted? the yeas and nays were required and were as follows: Yeas Messrs. Barnes, Hartman, Holbert, Jauss, M'Cleaster, Reese, Rudy, Swartz, Weikle, Weiss, Wilhelni, Young, Zarger and President 16. Nays Messrs. Beatty, Cramp, Crumm, Greider, utter and Wilson 0.

Council then adjourned. Mayor's Court. Two young men clinched at State and Fourth streets last night and were just about to have a little "rough and tumble" fight, when Sergeant Landis arrested them. This morning they were held in $300 bail to answer at court for engaging in a street affray. Six Pequods, who "snowballed" every person who passed the corner of Third and Calder the other day, were arrested and given a hearing.

Four of them were sent to iail for thirty days and two for ten days. Frank M'Callister, a chronic dead beat, was arrested last night for being drunk and disorderly." Ho had in his possession a black carriage robe, which he probably had "clutched" when the owner was not looking. Sent to jail for thirty days. Alonzo Moyer is a sweet scented youth. Alonzois one of those young men who "toil not neither do they spin," yet he requires money to run the machine.

His name is frequent in police reports, and the inside of the jail is an old acquaintance. Alonzo, it is alleged, stole $15 from his younger brother, which the latter had earned himself, and spent the money in riotous living. The police collared him, and as he was under bonds for good behavior, his bail was withdrawn find he was com mitted to prison Hill Notes. Adjutant General Latta is a good postprandial orator. Senator George Handy Smith is famous for telling a good story.

The not investigating committee will ask for more time. They cannot do justice to the subject in twenty days. The local optionists are not downhearted over their defeat. They rather expected it. But they will come up smiling again next year.

The Senate will very probably agree to the House amendments to the bill paying the military for services during the riots. This is the only proper course. The bill to prevent frequent changes in school books passed second reading this morning in the House. Also the bill providing that school boards shall purchase books for the scholars. Republican Nominations.

The following is the con ect ticket nominated by the Republicans of the Second precinct, Eighth ward, on Saturday night: Council, D. K. Rudy, A. H. Frankem, John Young, Wm.

A dispatch received in this city to day states that Henry Thomas, formerly of this city, is lying seriously ill at his resi dence in Philadelphia, with Bright's dis ease of the kidneys. Reappointed We are pleased to announce the fact that Wm. H. Patterson, has been reappointed Superintendent of Public Grounds by the Board of Public Works, his appointment dating from January 1st. Mr.

Patterson has done more towards beautifying the public grounds than any other superintendent who preceded him, and has been a faithful, efficient officer. The grounds have been kept in the finest possible condition, and to Mr. Patterson and his able assistants must be awarded the credit for having so made them. Railroad Accident. Two cars of the extra freight train west ran off the track on the bridge across the Susquehanna at Rockville, this afternoon at one o'clock.

Fortunately they did not go over the side, or a serious accident might have been the result. The damago was immediately repaired, and beyond the detention of the mail train and Johnstown express, no inconvenience was suffered. Let all who are suffering with a bad cough or cold, try Haas' Expectorant, and if it acted as well as it did iu our case, the cure will be remarkable. Otmttscmmt Cecals. Wendell Phillips.

Persons who have heard t.hi iHHn guished orator and lecturer need not be advised to go to the Opera House on next Tuesday evening, for they will bo sure to be there. To those who have never listened to any of his magnificent lectures, we would say, don't miss this opportunity of hearing Mr. Phillips. You will never regret the small outlay, for the treat to which you are invited is" such as is seldom afforded. Secure your seats without delay.

"Dot, or tlie Cricket on tlie Hearth." John E.Owens, the famous comedian, appears at the Opera House to night in the above play. He is supported by a good company, and his coming will be quite an" event in theatrical circles in this city. An exchange, speaking of Mr. Owens' acting in this play, says: "He is magnetic and holds supreme control of his audience. Throwing it off its guard by some oddity of gesture, look or attitude that elicits a shout of laughter, he interjects a little shaft of quaint pathos so unexpectedly that an instant hush falls upon the house and irrepressible tears gather in the eyes that sparkled with laughter an instant before.

One liardly knows whether he best enjoys the acting or the lively play of emotions in his own breast which that acting causes, and of which they are the echo. Mr! Owens' Caleb is almost indescribable, so perfect is it in every detail, so thoroughly mastered is it as a study." 0 Business fZatcds 5tlleliable help for weak and nervous sufferers.
