Decoration Day.

III reverence anu veneratlon for the
dead are not the natural instincts of
our humanity, they are at least the
outgrowth of our civilization, and we
can almost feel with the poet, that
=" "Loyc only rcigns in Death"
In retrospection we often think and
speak of loved ones Mt rest in their 81
lent tombs, and a tender, sympathetic
chord of the heart never fails to re-
spond to word or thought given to
their memories. With these rcflcc-
tions in mind we observe, that while it
is sincere pleasure to note the fact,
it is not at all strange that agrowing
interest should mark the recurrence of
Decoration Day as Time in his unceas-
ing flight each year brings it around.
The memories of brave men who
gave their lives to their country are
always worthy, not only of the deep.
est veneration, but of the highest adj
miration. All over this land they
sleep in the silent cities of the dead, !"
and in the simple ceremony of strew-
ing their graves with the fresh flowers
Of summer is found tribute so touch
ing and beautiful that its annual OBJ
servance seems to be growing into the
mandate of a sacred duty. We honor
brave deeds, and, while love of coun-
try exists, will it not always be so?
Throughout the entire country Dec
oration Day, this year, seems to have
enlisted much more than usual atten-
ton. Cities, towns, villages and rural
hamlets alike gave the day to honor
the ashes of the dead heroes who lie
in their cemeteries. In our county
memorial ceremonies took place at
Bellefonte, Milesburg, Centre Hall,
Philipsburg, Millheim, Pine Grove,
Boalsburg, Potter's Mills, Pleasant
Gap, and probably at other points of
which we have not heard. At each
of these places, with single excep-
ton, so far as we have learned, the
services were conducted with proper
solemnity and with commendable APP
probation Of the proprieties of the
occasion; and it is eminently credit
able to our people that, as a rule, the
proceedings of the day were so free
from Objectionable features. We do
not betake ourselves to the graves Of
our heroes for the purpose of engag.
ing in angry strife and disputation
over the political issues of an era half
n generation later than the time that
most of these men yielded up their
lives. Amid these sacred surround
ings the cruel animosities and bitter
passions of the past have no place,
and the individual who goes there for
no other purpose than to keep them
alive, possesses neither good sense or
patriotism. The time for this is long
since past, and in honoring the dead
we should only look forward to a re-
united country, made happy aud pros
porous by the common efforts of a
common brotherhood. This should
be the lesson of Decoration Day.

WE have received the first number
of the Blossburg Industrial Register, a
new weekly journal, of which Mr..
John L. Sexton, Jr., is the editor and
proprietor. 1t Is a handsome folio sheet
of eight columns to the page, aud is
well filled with original and selected
matter of peculiar interest to the sec
tion of the State in which it is pub
lished. Mr.. Sexton is an accom-
plished writer, and should achieve
success in this enterprise. Intimate
association with him during the past
four years enables us to say that he
has special qualifications for publish
ing a newspaper devoted to industrial
pursuits, and we do not doubt that the
Industrial Register will meet the
growing wants of the Northern Tier
for journal of that character.

Battle FOught....Seventy Men Killed
and Wounded.



LONDON, October 8, $50 p. NJ. Sir Fred.
erick Roberts telegraphs from Charasiab on
the evening of the 9th, that the Afghanists
heavy fighting all day. The Afghan position
was cvrried and twelve guns captsred. The
British loss was about so killed and wounded.
Gen. Roberts in his despatch says: Re-
cOnnOitering parties were sent out on all
roads leading to Cabul. At daybreak this
morning it was reported the enemy were add
vancing in great force from the direction Of
the city. A high range of hills intervening
betw cen Charasiab and Cabul was crowded
with troops and people from the city, while
parties of Ghilzais appeared on the hills run
ming along both TANKS Of the camp, and re-
ports have been received that the road to
Zahidabad was threatened. Along this road
Mcpherson was advancing with large con-
vOy of stores and ammunition.
Warren was sent to Mcpherson, and some
assistance in cavalry was absolutely neces-
sary to carry the heights in front before eve
ming, very difficult duty, which he COM
pleted in most admirable manner. Loss
here, 4 killed and 3 wounded.
Baker made a turning movement to the
left and was soon holly engaged. Height
after height was carried in gallant style.
Loss as follows Capt. Young, 1t FurgusOn,
DIR. Duncan, wounded, and about 20 men
killed and wounded. The enemys loss is
unknown, but must have been considerable,
as they fed in great confusion and lost two
standards.
A large number Of Gilzais are still in the
neighborhood. The Ameer states that the
palace of Bala Aessai is no longer in the
possession OF people he can trust. Gen.
Roberts believes the country will quiet down
now they see that resistance is useless, al
though great excitement prevails.
There is widespread dsapprobation in the
United Kingdom over the recent army regu-
lation which prohibits newspaper correspond
ants from accompanying troops in Afghanstan
and reporting what is taking place in the
field, and especially in front Of Cabul, and
consequently the dead silence which prevails.
The London Press especially is indignant.

Dow & Storer's horse ran away yesterday
forenoon, starting from near Mr.. Boothby's
house on Court street. He went at full speed
down this street, and when near Perham
street ran into Il team which was hitched
there. The hitched horse stood his ground

aged to the extent Of few dollars The

Keeping across the street he came to a halt in by

road track. The beast was not injured to
any extent, but the carriage repairers will get
a fair job out of the wagon. If the horse had
not been swung round into Perham street by
