OBITUARY.

On Sunday May 96th, MARIA LOUISA
daughter Of Gen. Brechpr, and wife OF
Van Trump, bid adieu to earth. For
months before her departure, she desired
to be with the Savior whom she loved so
much, and whose precepts che so fully
obeyed. Truly must we say, she lived
the life Of the righteous and her last end
was like his. Her perfect resignation
under paiu-the joy she expressed Of fu-
ture bliss--the GOODNESS with which she
departed, all gave proof Of tho truth oi
that religion which consoles and comforts
in life and death. All who knew the ex-

Picnic Dinner tor the I'm Regi-
ment.


The prime mover In this matter Is un.
known to us; but one thing We do know,
that the Idea of feeding the brave bOyA at
Camp Anderson when 6nce brcached,
spread itself SO rapidly and was SO prompt
ly acted upon by the good people Of Pleas
ant. thar in two days sfter 1t vas stggest.
ed her citizens turned out en- masss and
rolled up cakes by the wagon load, pies
by the thousand, meats and butter by the
ton, pickles BY the barrel, roasted chick.
ems by the hundred, with an endless
quantity and variety ofnic-nacs and nice
ties. From the quan.ies one would think
Pleasant had / cen stripped Of every eati-
BILE thing.
At 10 o'clock A. NJ, the procession,
consisting of l3s wagons and buggies,
Marshalled by VIM. EWING and THos.
DUNCAN Esqs., bearing its load Of good
things. was met on Mulberry Street by
Companies A and f, Captains GrEsY and
SrrNcHooMB. and escorted up High to
Nam, down Main TO Columbus, thence to
the Camp, to the stirring music of the
drum and fife and 10 the good old tune Of
yankee Doodle
The good people Of Lancaster were ia.
ken completely by surprise; few Of them
had even heard Of the move and none Of
them anticipated such an out-pouring Of
the people. A full half hour before the
last wagon rounded the hill. the end was
looked for, and when the whole truth was
known, our people we're overwhelmed and
the patriotism aid llberality of Pleasant
was subject OF universal remark,
At O'Clock tie procession reached
the Camp, when the "fair ones" at once
busted themselves about the arrangement
of the dinner. Cloths were spread upon
the ground forming hollow square 100
feet IN length and The good things piled
on until the very earth groaned. All
things in readiness. the regiment was
formed around lhs table in two sides and
at the Command took hold with vim
thai did great credit to their appreciation.
After tho wants of the entire regiment
were satisfied, t&o.thifds of the provis-
ions were left untouched, which, carried
by the soldiers 10 their various quarters,
made them remember their friends at sup
per and breakfast next day and deprec;a-
ted their heretofore high estimate Of Mr..
MARTINS "pork and BEANS most materi
ally.
After dinner the soldiers were address
ed on behalf Of The citizens in an ELOQUENT,
patriotic and appropriate speech by VIM
P. CREED Esq, which was responded to
by NJ. A. DAUoHERTy Esq, on behalf Of
the Regiment.
The soldiers were then briefly. and
neatly addressed by Col. CoNNELI, after
which the procession again formed and
was escorted through the city on their re
turn by the entire regiment. The pro
cessiou as it passed through the city OF
its return was an imposing one, and thu
whole city turned out 10 witness it.
The UTMOST order, enthuriasm and gooC
feeling prevailed throughout the day, AM
the verdict of the regiment is SATISFIED,
and cf the whole community, "well don
Plea'ant."
