ARCADIA, May 81, 1876.
Pursuant to arrangements previousld
made by the Decoration Association of
Arcadia, large and very respectable
assembly congregated at the NJ. E.
Church at an early hour on 3Oth inst,
to decorate the graves of heroes who
fought and died that their country
might live. Capt. RI. Redick, andCapt.
II. Henderson, of Findlay, were present,
and were the principal speakers on the
occasion, and we would say that those
gentlemen have una eoee the hearty
and sincere thanks of all who were
fortunate enough to hear their pathet-
ic, interesting and instructive speeches.
Immediately after the preliminary ex-
ercises the Marshal, Lieutenant Joel
Eckles, proceeded to form the process
sion and march to the Cemetry, ac-
companied by the Cornet Band playing
a grand march. On arriving at the
Cemetry the Choir sang piece ad-
mirably adapted to the occasion. Rev.
J. Long invoked blessing, and a short
address was read to the children who
were about to strew the flowers, by
Mr.. W. w. SiddaIl. The Marshal then
instructed those having charge to pro-
ceed to distribute the flowers, which
was done in a very expeditions and

Herewith. Objected to J. Ii. Patter-
SOD, the newly-elected DOorkeeper OF
the House, was sworn into Office. The
House considered the bill making an
appropriation for the payment of the

Commissioner of Claims, and passed.
The House then went into Committee

of Impeachment were again considered

In the House, the Conference Com

Mr.. Banning then called up his bill,
providing for the gradual reduction of
the army, and endeavored to get
vote on it; but, the Republican, MEM

THE RAILROAD BOOR.
This seat is taken, SIR"

4 HIS seat u tdhcH-
All persons who have travelled to
any considerable extent are familiar
with this formula 1t tells the story
of the railroad boor-the small souled,
mean selfish brute who pays grudging-
ly for one seat and strains his small
wit to hold two. This particular hog
wore plug hat, shiny with the genu-
inc Boston gloss, an enameled shirt.
and closely cropped iron-gray beard.
know this kind. He is an eminently
respectable beast, who always pays his
debts promptly, takes an interest in
Sunday schools, administrates his de-
ceased brothers children out of their
patrimony, is the president of joint
stock companies, and his biographical
eulogies published in the newspapers
when he finally kicks the bucket. /
knew the hog lied when he said, '"This
seat is taken, sir" but i found one that
was mot taken sir" and watched
him to see how many times he would
reproduce the falsehood. The coach
was rather full, and, would you believe
it, that miserable hog told sixteen dis
tinet and separate lies in order to grat-
ify his mean selfishness. Enough to
sink healthier soul to perdition- He
varied the formula; one time it was
wave of the hand and look to the
rear of the car to indicate that the
holder of the seat had gone for a drink
of water and would be back soon.
Another time to the inquiry of mild
hammered and timid questioner he re-
piled by stolid stare, and then spread
ing himself little wider he resumed
the perusal of his paper. 1 was tempt
ed to crawl up and hiss in his ear,
''You are an awful liar" But had
my revenge. A big, red-faced two
hundred FOUNDER, in dirty linen coat,
came in at way station. He was
sweaty to fearful degree. His feet
smelt like valerianate of ammonia and
rotten fish, and his breath was a hot,
sinking siroceo, based on bad whisky
and onions. This fiery and fragrant
behemoth preferred to settle himself in
the seat that was taken. ''This seat
is, >" began the hog. ''Well, guess
I'll take it till the other fellow comes"
returned the sweet-smelling heavy
weight, and down he pumped, partial
ly crushing the hog in his descent.
The latter frowned and began to blus-
