POETIOAL.
MARCH OF THE DEATuLEss DEAD.
DY FATHER RYAN.

The following beautiful poem was recitcd
Mt tho close Of the funeral observances, at Sa'
yanuah, Ga, recently, on the occasion of the
reiutermcnt Of Confederate soldiers who fell
at Gettysburg:
Gather the sacrcd dust
Of the warriors tried and true,
Who bore the flag Of our Nations trust,
Aud fell in the cause, though Lost, still Just
And died for nc aud you.
Gather them one and all
From the Private to the Chief,
Come they from hovel or rrincely hall,
They fell for US, aud for them should fall
The tears Of Nations grief
Gather the corpses strown
Der many battle plain;
From many grave that lies so lone,
Without name aud without stouC,
Gather the Southern slain.
We care not whence they came,
Dear is their lilelcss clay!
Whether uukuown, or known to famo
Their cause aud country still the same
They dicd-and w%c the GrGy.
Wherever the brave have died,
They should uot rest apart;
Living they struggled side by side
Why should the haud Of death divide
A siugc heart from heart?
Gather their scattered clay,
Wherever it may rest;
Just us they matched to the bloody fray;
Just as they felt On the battle day;
Bury ihcni breast to breast.
Tie iocman need not dread
This gathering Of the brave;
Withou, sword Nas, and with soundless tread
We muster ouco more our deathlcss dead
Out Of each lonely grave,
The focman need no. lrowu,
They arc oil rowerIcss now
We gather them here, aud We lay them down,
And tears and prayers are the only crown
We bring to wreathc each brow,
And tho dead thus meet the dead,
While the living Ger them weep;
And the men whom Lee and StonewOII led
Aud the hearts that once together bled;
Together still shall sleep.

The extensive use of these watches for the last
fifteen years by Railway Conductors, Engineers
and EXPIRES ssmen the most eXactng of watch
wearers, has thoroughly demonstrated the strength
steadiness, durability and accuracy of the Wal
than Watch. TO satisfy that class in all these
respects, is to decide the question as to the real
value Of these time keepers.
More than 100000 of these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets of the
people-a proof and guarantee of their superior
ity over all others.
The superior organization and great extent of
the Company's Works at Waltham, enables them
to produce watches at a price which renders COM
petition futile, and those who buy any other watch
merely pay from % to 50 per cent. more for their
watches than is necessary.
These tme-pieces combine every improyement
that long experience has proved of real practi-
cal use. Having had the refusal of nearly every
invention in matchmaking originating in this
country or in Europe only those were finally
adopted which severe testing by the most skilful
artisans in our works. and long use on the part
public demonstrated to be essential to correctand
enduring tlme-keeping.
Among the many improvements we would par.
tcularze

less.
Hardened and tempered hair-springs, now uni
verSally admitted by WatChmakers to be the best
are used in all grades of Watliam Watches.

Our new patent stem-winder, or keyless watch
IS already decided success, and great improve
market, and by far the cheapest watch of its quail
ity now offered to the public To those living i'm
portions OF the United States where watchmakers
do not abound, watches with the above mentioned
cleanliness, durability and convenience, mustp prove
invaluable.

Rabid DOg.-The Harrisburg State
journal of the 2Sth ult., says :-Considera-
bic excitement was created yesterday morn
ing on 18th street over the rumor that q
dog inflicted with hydrophobia was at large,
and had attacked several persons. The
panic soon spread, and the report grew in
magnitude as it was circulated. 1t seems
that dog belonging to a gentleman re-
siding on Allisons hill, yesterday morning
exhibited unmistakable symptoms of hydro
phobia, and before it was killed bit a man
whose name we could not ascertain, and a
daughter Of Mr.. Jacob Gilman, about 13
or 10 years of age. The latter was bitten
in the thigh and her dress badly torn by the
vicious dog. Another lady was met by the
dog, who boldly attacked her, and her
clothes were rent and tore i'll fearful
manner she finally making her escape
without confusion or bite, though thor
oughly frightened and agitated. Anumber
of dogs were bitten by the rapid animal
before he was finally killed, which was ac-
complished some hours afterward. Tho
young lady had her wounds dressed by
physician.

A Sad Aiiair-A Young Lady Commits
\ = Suicide.

ION Thursday evening last, a young lady
named Levina f. Fagely, resident of
Sunbury, Northumberland county, but who
was at the time attending the academy in
this borough, committed suicide by drown
ing. The following are the facts of the
case:
About o'clock some of the ladies start
ed for walk, the deceased going by her.
self up the hill from the academy, while
the others came down into town. After
their return, they concluded to go and meet
Miss Fagely, but after walking a half mile
and not meeting her, they returned. At
last her prolonged absence alarmed the
Principal and the Proprietor, and party
was sent to seek her. The searching party
was finally joined by several horsemen,
and the search continued until two o'clock
the next morning, when her body was found
in small pond n little distant from the
road, and not far from the late residence of
Simon Clouser, in Centre township. Near
the spot, her handkerchief was laid on n
bush-evidently placed there to attract at
tention. Where she was found, the water
was only fifteen inches deep, and the
position of her body showed that she had
deliberately committed suicide. She was
brought to the house, and John r. Shuler,
Esq, empanneled jury, consisting of
f. B. Clouser, Esq, and Messrs. VIM. Will
lis, c. Roth, d. Mickey, Geo. Spahr, and
VIM. Burn, who held an inquest, and rem
dered a verdict in accordance with the
above facts.
Miss Fagely was an estimable young la
dy, and during her attendance at the school
here, which was since the 18th of January,
had endeared herself to all who knew her.
Various rumors are in circulation regard
ing the cause for the commission of the
deed, but as far as ascertained they are en-
tirely unfounded, and no reason is known
why she should have committed the fatal
act. The deceased had no parents living
but had some relatives residing at, or near
Sunbury, who were telegraphed to- and
who came on and removed the body,1
