Birthday Celebration Of Mother Sickle

Quite a number of the friends and es-
pecially the sons and daughters of Mother
Sickle assembled at her home the 3rd of
June to surprise her on her 10Th birthday.
The aged mother was completely oAercome
She had gone to Mr.. Schauers', by special
request, in the morning to sew rpet rags,
but she was not there long until she was
called home to meet the faces of her friends
She could at first not take in the situation
but after recovering she felt much compli-
mented and greatly elated to have her
friends show her this respect. and courtecy.
She was then seated at the head of a long
table and was supplied with the substan-
tial things and all the delicacies of the sea
son. Truly there was every thing that the
body could crave upon that table, and it
was not only enjoyed by the aged mother
but also by the friends and guests. She
was also remembered with many tokens of
love and respect, which she very thankful
ly accepted.
She came to this country forty five years
ago and is yet very active and strong. The
wishes of all were that she might live yet
many days and be abundantly prospered.
| Our prayer is that as she is nearing her
journeys end she may be comforted and
sustained and that she may at least hav G
| a peaceful hour in which to depart and re-
ceive the crown of everlasting rejoicing
| from the hands of her adorable Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ. L.

IN MEMORIUM.

On the of 25th May, 1879, near O'Clock in
the evening, Frederick Mains, the oldest
citizen of Somerset, and perhaps in the
county, passed away, at the great age of93
years. His death was calm and painless,
he remained conscious almost to the last
moment. He died of no disease-had no
ailment but age, and was one of the very
few whom we have seen die at once natu-
rally and normally.
Such II life is remarkable. Spanning al-
most u century, and that century the most
wonderful in the worlds history, the man
who lived through it all becomes nm object
of higher interest and distinction from the
very fact.
Almost one hundred years ago, the Con-
stitution of the United States was not
framed-the national government was the
Confed tracy. The war of the revolution
had lust ended-the States were the origin.
al thirteen, all the country from the Alle-
gbany range to the Pacific WAS wilderness
Ohio was without settlement. Where
the towns ane cities now stand, the forest
was growing. Where Somerset now stands
no white man had ever lest a vestige of his
presence. Buffaloes fed in the valleys and
| panthers screamed on the hills.
In Europe, the French Revolution was
vet a gathering storm, and did not burst
| upon Europe until 1894, when our deceased
friend was seven years old. He saw the
rise and fall of Napoleon, and the French
Empire; the whole career of Napoleon-the
tremendous wars which convulsed Europe
for twenty years, were as much matters OF
memory to him as of history. All the
grandeur and greatness of our own nation
has grown up during his life. We of TO-
day read of these things, but he witnessed
ali. The history of the world. for almos
the last century, seems the possible recol
lections of that man! Until the failure o
his hearing within the last few months HI
could converse freely Of the events of hi
long life, and as his faculties were not a
all impaired by age, his conversation wa
always interesting. His memory was re
markable, and he kept fully abrest will
the times, there being no more eager reade
of the newspapers. Hence he never becom
antiouated and fossilized in his ideas ant
notions. In his whole life he was true 4
his best convictions of the right, and at tn
end of his long lite of about 100 years
there was not one to say he had ever sui
fered wrong al his hands.
