From the Charlotte IN. c. Observer.
The funeral cortege which followed
to the cemetery yesterday afternoon the
remains of John King. the keeper Of
ANIMALS in Robinsons circus, whose
tragic death was recorded few days
ago. was a somewhat remarkable spec
tacle. TIE body lay in a magnificent
casket, and was carried to the grave
yard in a hearse to which we're attach
ed four handsome white horses. Close
upon the hearse followed the two pet
elephants of the dead keeper, "Mary"
and '.The Boy" whose stately tread in
perfect time with the dirge which the
band was playing seemed to indicate
that the intelligent animals felt the sol
emnity of the occasion. Beyond the
features noted there was no other dis
play, and the funeral was conducted in
a manner highly creditable to the pro-
prietors of the show. The funeral GER
emonies took place in the Catholic
Church, and the scene there was like
wise solemn and impressive. The per
formers and labofers, fresh from the
shonts and glare of the circus, in their
rough, every day clothes, bu; with faces
respectfully cleausei of the dusr and
paint Of the arena, were all present
The rites were said by Rev Father
O'Connell and the body was inferred IN
the Catholic buryiug ground.

MCALIsTERvuLE, Sept. 80, 1880 -
Last evening was held in the Orphan
School building a large Democratic
meeting. There were near 300 in the
ball. The largest number, however,
we're Republicans, who always lend a
helping hand when the Democracy hold
a meeting, being more generous In that
respect than the Democrats are to the
Republicans. The Republicans re-
ceiyed great benefit by this meeting.
If they would come with their forces
another time we would be where the
handle is on the jug. 1t would pay
the Republicans to hire them to canvass
the county. They did us more good BY
this meeting then we could have done
by one OF our own. Those Re2ubli-
cans who were thinking of voting for
Hancock are now solid for Garfield.
The wavering have been made firm.
We have the honor Of having SOL
dier here who fought under Garfield,
and will vote for him. A soldier who
fought under Hancock, now living In
Ohio, writes " Hancock Is on the
wrong side of the fence; I.wIll no: fol-
low him" 5 l.. NJ.

THE Harrisburg Telegraph says: Center
Hall, Center county, is a beautiful hamlet
east of the Nittany mountains, in Penn's
Valley, of about two hundred inhabitants.
1t is in part of that county intensely DEM
ocratic, where, during the struggle for The
national life, the men armed themselves
with dung forks and axes and corn cutting
knives, and marched toward Bellefonte TO
seize, hang and quarter the conscription
officers located In that borough. The Cen
fer Hall malcontents got as far as the out
skirts of Bellefonte, when Captain Mike
Cunkle, Jesse Butts, and few Republican
spirits, met and routed them We now
learn from the survivors of that fight, that
leading Democrats in Center Hall hung Gar
field in etfigy, or attempted to do SO, but
were frustrated in the effort by the better
ind ement and good sense of one Mr.. Wolf.
The Bellefonte Republican gives the story
in detail, which shows that the old copper.
head, dung fork veterans or Center Hall
are as ripe for lawlessnes now as they were
in the days of the rebellion.
