 It says: "In the ancient times, before the days of railroads and tslegraphs, the travel between Boston and New York was by lines of stages, running over some of the Barkham- stsd hills. On one of those steod large log house, in which the light from the huge fire place was visible through the chinks, and the illuminated leg house was seen from distance by the passengers on the lines of stages that always passed here late at night Hence the 'Barkhamstsd Light House."

Insanity Of Famaticism

The Doylestown Democrat attributes
the following atrocious sentiments to an
AbolitioniSt of Buckingham township:
never want to see peace until every
negro slave in the South is free. Such
as are in the army want rewarded by
being placed iu possession of their mas.
ter's property. Every black man in the
country should have the right to vote,
and if people see fit to elect them, to
hold office; the Declaration of Iudipend.
ance declared all men free and equal.
would prefer that rather than fail in this
object every man now in the army should
be killed.
The Democrat adds:
The brute who uttered this is not in
the service himself, nor any of his fam
lily. He is ia the first class but if he
is drafted, he has $500 to exempt him.
So it is with all the blatant Abolition
"loyalists." They are not in the army,
and they don't intend to go. Their pa.
triotiSm consists in their willingness to
see everybody but themselves 60 and be
killed, or MANNED, or die of exposure in

Arrest of a Funeral Procession

sion, was arrested this afternoon, while
proceeding to Greenmount Cemetery, to

Captain William D. Brown, deposited
there quietly some days ago, who was in
the rebel army and killed at Gettysburg.
Deceased was Baitimoreau. The whole
cortege was brought to the Provost
MarShal'S headquarters, and are now
confined here, but, it is believed, will be
soon released,
The offense is alleged to consist in
making an unnecessary display and Civ.
ing undue importance to those who die
in attempting to destroy our Union and
Government, to which we are indebted
for all our solemn funeral rites and oil
other privileges. Several prominent cit.
izens, including ex-Mayor Hunt, were
among the mourners.
Privilege had been granted by Gen.
Schenck to the relatives of secesSionists,
to deposit the bodies of their kindred in
any cemetery around the city, but fu.
neral professions and display over them
we're forbidden. The affair caused much
excitement. Ministers of the gospel are
now interfering, and it is believed all
will soon be released. Philadelphia
