Lines on the Death of William Sutton.

Lines on the Death of William Sutton.
Read before the Good Templars' Lodge, at
Cherry Hill, Of Whieh deceased was
member.
Call the roll, call the roll of our band,
Let each to his name answer clear,
There $ danger abroad, there's death in the
land,
Call the roll see if each one is here
The roll call is through, one answers not
Brother Sutton, prompt heretofore
Has answered another roll call the spot
Which has known him shall know him
no more.
He kept the faith; he fought the good fight;
The race set before him he run
lie now wears the crown, star-spangled
and bright,
Which through patience and conflict lie
Hes at rest by the beautiful river,
Which flows by the evergreen shore,
Where the verdure of Spring lasts forever,
And where sickness and death are no
Where the wicked from troubling cease,
The weary are ever at rest,
And the joys of the righteous shall increase:
It's the home of the pure and the bless'd.
o! alas /! that the righteous should die,
While sinners so greatly abound:
In the world thats to come we will know
why
They are left to cucumber the ground:
This myst'ry we will then comprehend,
And all will be plain to our sight
Then dry up the tears which flow for our
friend,
In full faith that our God will do right.

GA poor excuse - is said to be '.better
than none,'' and The Democrat attempts it
in reply to our expose of the county ex-
ponses. The ''excuse is that the Demo-
cratic Board Of 81 had to foot bills COLI
tracted by their predecessors The same
plea holds good for their predecessors,
who had to foot whatever bills were con-
tracted for unfinished business by the Board
of G4-5 and the Board of 10-1 will have to
foot bill for unfinished business of the pres
ent Board. One little item we may here
mention will be the unlevicd portion of the
school tax of five cents on the 800 for the
present year, which the Commissioners
now in power refused to levy, in order to
reduce the levy list, and which the School
Board are about to compel by n mandamus
This item, alone, will be an addition of
81, lag. As taken off of the financial report
of the present Board, and transferred to
the next. There are other expenses which
unavoidably are transferred to succeeding
Boards, so that it is rery evident that our
rendering of the statistics of expenditures
was entirely fair, which was to compare
the financial record of two Boards of County
Commissioners, running through their en-
tire terms so that The Democrats sophis-
try will amount to nothing with intelligent
readers, except to confirm our previous
statement, that Democracy is spcndthrift
wherever it has a lease of power.
From the Mitfiinton PA. Register of the

FIRE.-On the 14th of July, my barn sit
uate in Beale township, Juniata county,
was struck by lightning and entirely con-
sumed by fire, luckily for me- held a pol
icy of insurance on it, in the Farmers NIu-
tual Fire Insurance Co., of York Pa. and
five days after the fire, their adiuster B.
F. Walker, called on me, and in a gentle
manly manner, paid me the total amount
of my claim.
l take pleasure in saying to all those
wishing reliable indemnity, prompt pay
ment and honorable dealing to call on John
NJ Laughlin and take out policy in the
Farmers of York JOSEPH PoMERoy.
EB Especial attention is called to the ad
vertisement of that celebrated Specialist,
@. VAN HuMMELI, NJ. d., of New York
City, who treats throat and lung diseases
by inhalation-the only acknowledged cure
for Consumption. He uses A5botfs InAal-
ton Fluid, a remedy not known to the pro-
fession. Thousands have been snatched
from the jaws of death by this wonderful
remedy, and those afflicted should not hes
itate to immediately place themselves under
the Doctors care.
