LOREN GooDFELIow.-Among the most
deplorab,e consequences of the late war-a
war instigated and prolonged by Northern
traitors-is tie death of gallant men, (who
passed unscathed through the fierce conflict
OF battle, from the barbarous and inhuman
treatment they received while prisoners in
the hands Of the rebels. All over the land
these-yictims of worse than vandal barbara
ty are to be seen-their strength wasted
and their constitutions broken-hastening to
premature graves. Among the number was
LOREN A. NJ. GooDFELLOw, who recently
died at the residence of his father, G.. D.
Goodfeiiow, in Lawrence township, In the
twenty-fifth year of his age. He was a
member Of Capt NJ Gaua hey company, of
the 5th Penn q ReSeryes-a regiment, than
which none made prouder record during
the war. Onthe discharge of the Fifth, he
re- enlisted in the l9lst regiment. He was
taken prisoners at Spottsylvania Court House,
and remained confined at Richmond over E.
leyen months, until the city was captured
by the victorious legions of Grant He
was found by his Father in the Hospital at
Fortress Monroe, who brought him home,
where he fingered a few mopths, and died.
His vivid description of the hardships the
prisoners were compelled to endure, caused
the very blood of the listener to curdle in
his veins. In letter to his Aunt he said,
"'If | die, / want inscribed upon my tomb
stone, starred By the chicolrous Southern
ersp' He was noble young patricia
brave soldier, and has yielded up his life for
his native land Let those of us who sur
viye these martyr heroes of the war, strive
to make the country they have saved, worthy
of the sacrifice.

PREPARE hope that the farmers
throughout the country are active in their
preparations for the coming Agricultural
Fair; if not they should be, as upon them,
in great measure depends its success. We
advise all to remember this fact, that the
sooner you begin, the more thorough will be
the preparation and the more creditable the
exhibition

What Wordsworth has left US, is
individual, personal in certain sense,
and yet belongs to the race. This will
be the source Of his lasting power. The
mannerist, the man Of partial develop
ments is soon exhausted. A swarm Of
imitators flock together and sting him
to death, exhaustng his ''thin spun"
vitality. But men ot genius, like
Wordsworth and Co!eridge, have tho
inexhaustible tounts, Of nature herself.
Their maxin's are Of wide acceptation.
We go to them not to cast our minds
in 4 narrow mould. but to bear away
the seeds, from their full growth, Of an
original independent development.
What man ever cramped his genius,
as the apprentice in the farce has it,
by studying Shakespeare, or Plato,
or Milton-who Wilt not, indeed, make
a small man great. but who must
make generous'ysgifted mind greater.
Try the work o., Initiating Words

tame inanity; but you make respee-
table counterfeit Of Scott or Byron.
