MRS COLONEL SIMMONS SUR
RENDERS.

Hundreds of soldiers in this county
remember the brave Colonel Simmons.
We notice that a graceful and fitting
compliment was paid to his widow at
Harrisburg, on Saturday evening last.
She, il will be remembered, IS the
widow Of as brave and gallant sol
dies as ever unsheathed a sword,
Among ''the bravest of the brave" was
Col. Seneca G. Simmons, who lost his
life during the rebellion. The Colonel
Seneca G. Simmons Post, No, ll6, G
A. r., OF Harrisburg, hit upon the ex'
pedient of making Mrs. Simmons an
honorary member of that Post, and
without letting any one outside the
organization know anything about it.
surprised that lady by presenting her
with beautifully engrossed and tram,
ed certificate Of honorary membership
with the regulations of the G. A. r
and the by laws of Seneca Post. Mrs
Simmons, who is one of the most esti
mable and agreeable Of ladies, simply
but gratefully remarked IN reply to an
observation of Commander Cockley

out ut-generdled." Forty-fve members Of
the Post were present, and they were
delightfully."- entertained by Mrs. Sim.
mons and her daughter. The occa.
sion was made still more pleasant by
tho presence OF a number OF visitors
to the family who were as completely
surprised as was Mrs. Simmons her.
self. The ceremonies took place in
the beautiful garden attached to her
residence, on Front street, where the
lamented Colonel was wont to spend
many happy hours with his family
and friends.

"LoYAL" DEvELoPMENTs-The Rad

HARD FARE.

The editor OF the Lancaster Intelli-
gencer, in alluding to the uphill business
the Census takers meet with, says /:
The Census Supervisors have hard
luck. Poor White in Philadelphia got
together such q lot of Jail. birds that it
was necessary to cut off the heads Of
the whole party, Supervisor included.
And now our Snowden, after coming
amongst us and looking into the char
acter of the applicants, and vowing
that he was going to choose the best
men, regardless of their politics, has
had such confoundedly bad luck as to
see two of the Enumerators in this city
sent to Jail for thirty days period,
too, which carries them clear over the
time appointed for taking the Census.
What is to be done. about it2 We
can only suggest an appeal to the most
benevolent judge Of our Court, who
may be 80 impressed by theimposibility
Of two officers of the United States
having done anything worthy of thirty
days in jail-cspecially when it was
only their Republican zeal that got
them there-that he will let them out
as innocent and malignod workers in
the good cause in their wards. Atany
rate the judge should be besought to
let these two Enumerators out tor a
couple of hours in the cool of the
morning and evening to take the Cen.
sus in the Third and Seventh wards.
They lie handy to the Jail, to whose
shady retreats they might return TO
spend the heat of the day, which ought
not to bo spent on the streets anyway,
Thus the needs of the United States
the demands of justice, and the require.
ments of humanity may be satisfied.

LORD CLoSCunRy, an Irish landlord, has
left his Irish residence and taken up his
abode III England, because Of threats made
against his life. The London Tory papers
affect to greatly deplore the event, as 1t will
be the means OF depriyinE each laborer on
Lord Cloncurry's estate OF his share Of s9o.-
600 which that nobleman was In the habit OF
spending on improvements each year. But
how much more should they grieve that aD-
sentee landlords take millions OF dollars each
year out OF that country which ought to be
spent there, and which would be but for
the internal system OF land tenure
which prevails In the island! The Lon
don Times, which has always opposed every
reform until it became inevitable, said In its
leading article OF yesterday that it sees no
reason why an equitable method Of turning
the tenant into proprietor should not be
discussed. It is evident that, much as the
land agitation IS tabooed, ridiculed, and de-
nounced by the London Tory journals, It Is
making itself felt, and will have no small
effect on legislation on the land question
next spring.

It is not at all likely that 4r. Sexton will

that there are ten men in the present County
