sympathy is expressed for the loss of the
magnanimous Parsonage, who so ardently
surmouuted the difficulties incident to life
from poverty and obscurity to honorable
position. That truly great man was en-
Eaged in the accom- mplishment of q great
mission. He was Q man that won the ad-
miration of the world-a pillar, supporting
the fabric of our National Governments
pacihcator, ever trying to quell dissentions,
restore and preserve peace and harmony.
If We consider his past life, unimpeachable,
as IT adorns the annals of American history |;
If We view the rays of bright future; il
We think how dearly he loved his family,
and how deeply he was interested in the
welfare of our glorious Republic, We are
caused to experience doleful sensations to
think that the assassin's bullet should end
90 brilliant career. His early life is char
acteristic of many wonderful instances. He
enjoyed paternal care but two years; but,
thank God, young Garfield bad a mother
devoted to moral and religious principles
4 mother Of indomitablo will and perseser-
ance. ffot only did she strive to lessen the
weight of adversely and provide for the
physical wants of her children, but, she
early inculoated principles of purity and the
light of christianity. From such humble
beginnings, in circumstances 50 adverse, he
arose to the position OF Chief Magistrate Of
one Of the leading countries of the world.
Loved as friend to the poor; honored as q
private citizen happy in domestic relations
successful as a statesman; an dvoired chris
tiaR, his name is destined to stand equivo-
cal with the stars, imperishable, immortal.
THE 4th annual reunion Of Juniafa SOL
diers Of the late war against slavery took
place last Thursday, and was a demonstra-
tion that oheered the souls of the veteran,
and brought several thousand people to town
to witness the marching, counter marching,
and listen to the patriotic songs, speeches
and "reminiscences as prepared for the oc-
casion. The crowd of visitors is estimated
by many as the lsrges that has assembled
| in this place. Members of the G. A. r..
Post Of Mifiin county attended in a body,
accompanied by the Mcveytowr band.
The Port ROYAL band was present, and the
Post band in this place was a participant in
all of the ceremonies where music was re-
quired. The orphans from the school at
McAlisterville were in attendance. The
procession was quite sight TO see. The
Post Of this place carried muskets. The
ceremony IN the Court House yard consist
ed in the singing of patriotic songs. A
speech Of welcome by George Jacobs, Jr.
The speech was a good one. Jacobs has
an earnest manner Of delivery, which i'm
presses itself upon an audience. An ad-
dress by General James A. Beaver, Of Belle
fonte. The address was quite entertaining,
and his advocacy of the burial Of the
''boody Shirt" since the boys in gray have
styled themselves the Ex-Confederates, was
a thought that caused numbers in the crowd
10 open their eyes. He related two per-
sonal incidents ol his military career, that
awakened close attention. The fret was,
that a Jupiata county soldier collected A
squad of soldiers around his body when he
fell wounded on the battlefield. and to that
soldier and his men be wa, indebted for his
