COLONEL JOHN G., PARR,

John q. Parr, ieutenant-colonel of the One
Hundred and Thirty-ninth regiment, z. ", died
some days ago, and was buried at Leechburg, Pa.
His name is well l-knOwn in the annals of surgical
science. At the battle Of Cold HarbOr he had
one of his arms shot off, and ever atterward was
most peculiarly affected. The muscles of his arm
kept up continual twitching, which caused the
arm to always be in motion. All the resources
OF surgical science were brought to his relief but
proved unavaiing. The singular atfiictiOn finally
dethrOned his reason and he was for some time
previous to his death an inmate Of kirkbrides
He was a man of estimable qualities, and leaves
many friends to regret his end.-LabOr Tribune.

blinded, and hopeless. Some still wander half
crazed around the ruins of their habitatious.

agony wringing their hands and refusing TO be

GENERAL WILLIAM M, GREGG,

General William NJ. Gregg who died i'll Tunk-
hammock on Friday, was the first man in Elmira
to volunteer at the outbreak of the war. He
was saddler by trade, and won his way by his
energy and pluck. At the charge upon Fort
Damnation, before Petersburg, he was struck by
a shell and knocked senseless. The same shell
took off the top of the head OF a soldier who was
standing near. He was Major of the Twenty
third New York, and afterwards raised and was
Colonel of the One hundred and seventy ninth
New York, until promoted to the command Of a
brigade. From our personal knowledge we know
him tohave been whole-souled, frank open
hearted man, and good soldier. His loss will be
deeply felt by his old comrades and acquaintance
generally

PRESIDENT GARFIELD.

While the President apparently continues to
hold his own. yet, we are bound to confess that
the bulletins of his condition received from Long
Branch are far from assuring. New diifIcuteS,
or rather. complications which his physicians
have seen proper to conceal from the public are
continually arising and it is by no means GER
tain that = recovery will be the eventual result
of his long and patient suffering. The parOtid
swelling has nearly disappeared, but there is new
cause for apprehension TO be found in the fact
that an absceSS has formed or is forming on his
right lung and which, unless speedily checked
must in the very nature of things result sooner
or later in the Presidents death 1t is true that
his physicians claim that they are not troubled
in respect of this complication and that they have
been aware Of il for some time, but we must
member that the same persons claimed that the
parotid swelling was a mere triiing incident OF
the case, and give due allowance for any and all
variations from the truth they may see proper to
make. 1t is further stated that new evidences OF
blood poisoning are being manifested upon diff
ferent parts of the Presidents body: and if so, his
condition is far from being comfortable and
favorable as the doctors would have people be-
lieve.
He mas during the past week. been moved
from his bed to a reclining chair, remaining there
in in a recumbent position from half an hour to
an hour or over, sleeping during the intervals
In fact, he is in a drOwsy state most OF the time
showing that he is either extremely weak, or
that his brain has been weakened by the severe
ordeal through which he has passed.
There is no denying the fact that President
Garfield is a very sick man, and that his condi-
tiOn is exceedingly critical, the physicians to
the contrary Notwithstanding. Those Of the
cabinet who have seen him have been shocked
at his helpless and almost death-like appearance
We can only hope and pray that he may recover,
and meanwhile await further developments,

A SOLDIERS CLAM-BAKE.

1t is enough to take away ones appetite TO read
the list of ingredients which made up the clam
bake served at the Reunion of the Grand Army
OF the Republic OF Connecticut at High Rock
Grove, on the Naugatuck Railroad The gigantic
potpourri was thus composed: t35 bushels of soft
shell CLANS, s. bushels of hard-shalI clans. 100
bushels of oysters, $50 pounds of fish, 600 pounds
of Holsters. 1000 ears of corn, and 20 bushels of
potatoes. There were few other trifles such as
600 loaves OF bread and $50 watermelOns, which.
helped to keep off starvation. About 1900 per
sons were presently far the largest number
ever assembled at an army Reunion in Connecti-
cut-and, owing to excellent arrangements at the
grounds and an unusually efficient transportation
service, managed by Superintendent Beach, OF the
Naugatuck Railroad, there were no accidents no
delays, and no grumbling.
