Allegheny Cattle Market.

in addition to this there was one hundred and
seven head on sale from Butler, Washington,
Beaver and Armstrong counties making in all

SHEEP AND LAMBS.-Tne supply was again
large, unusually so, nearly 800 head, which is
the largest number we have had reported for
several months, but with good demand prices
were pretty well sustained, Notwithstanding
the market dragged little. The high prices OF
cattle is causing the butchers to buy large
number of sheep they are much cheaper
than cattle, and one good way to force cattle
down is for the people to buy more mutton and
less beef. Sheep sold at f7oin ito 6l5c p h. nd

BARNESVILLE- May 3ISt.


DECORATION DAY.-The citizens of
Barnesvile demonstrated their ability
to get up a procession commensurate
with any great occasion when they so
will it.
At one o'clock p. NJ, the citizens gath
esed en- nlasSe at the NJ. E. Church, J.
II. Collins, Esq, in few remarks paid
as fitting tribute to the gallant dead,
whose remains lie buried in the adjacent
cemeteries, and to the unreturned
heroes, whose last resting place is un-
known. After singing by the choir the
procession formed outside the church
and preceded by the band marched to the
northern cemetery. The procession
numbered over six hundred persons and
moved in very respectful order. At the
cemetery twelve young ladies', six dress
decorated the graves with wreaths of
flowers, after which the choir sarg a
piece which produced marked effect
upon the assembly. The decorations
having been completed, the procession
reformed and proceeded to the Southern
cemetery where after decorating the
graves, an Ode was read by Dr. Kemp,
and the benediction pronounced by
Rev. J. S. Bracken, the people then
returned to their homes, satisfied at
having performed the duties of the liv-
ing to the noble dead. Arches were
erected at the entrance to the church
and the cemeteries bearing appropriate
notices. The day was one long to be
remembered by our citizens; business
was totally suspended, and men of all
political shades of opinion united in the
honors to the Dead.
PREACHERS AND PREACHING.-The
pulpit of the NJ. e. Church here is filled
by Rev. l. A. Pearce, a young man of
fine talent. His sermons present rare
combination of logic and rhetoric, his
sentences, frequently ornate, are al
ways cliastely eloquent. With ripening
years he must take rank among the
able men of his denomination. Rev.
Southenayd, who breaches for the Disci-
pies, is also a man of ability, his SER
mons are pre-eminently logical and are
made plain and applicable to his audi
ence by the use of natural objects.

ty. And another S. and costs for like
offence. One 81 and cost. for peddling

fighting-S50 for resisting oiiicer-S20
for shooting at officer Two So each and
costs, for ''plain drunk" One, before
jury, Sis and costs for keeping open
and selling whisky aud ale on Sunday"

Crisswell. He is abridging the rights
and privileges of the people around

a MN to get dunk, or swear, or Use
