the Irish People-The Land League
and its OJect.-The eyes of the civil

day. There is presented one of the
most remarkable spectacles in the
history of human experience. On
the one hand five million and a half
of unarmed people battling for life
and the right to live on the land given
them by God; on the ether, the rich

a land system, tho blood-stained re-
cord of which is a blot upon the in
telligence of the race; whose very
foundation rests upon the blood and
robbery of humanity, and which can
continue only through human mis-

HOMICIDE AT Mt. SAvAaE.-An
ARRAY took place at Mt. Savage Thurs
day evening between Alexander
Thrasher, Joseph and Frank Pratt,
of that place and vicinity, which re-
suited in the killing of Joseph Pratt
and the painful wounding of Frank.
The trouble arose from ow-balling
bout which took place few days be-
fore. 1t appears the parties met in
Mt. Savage, when Thraaher, display
ing knife, challenged the Pratts to
settlement. The latter declined a
knife combat, whereupon Thrssher
put his knife away. He and Joseph
Pratt clinched, and, during the strug-
gle, Frank Pratt joined against
Tbraaher. The latter drew off and
escaped, but quickly turned upon his
adversaries, knife in hand, andstabbed
Joseph Pratt under the heart, killing
him almost instantly. Frank Pratt
received the next luDge of the knife
through his lungs.
An inquest was held by John La
velle, Esq, over the body of Joseph
Pratt, when the jury rendered the
following verdict:
We, the undersigned jurors of inquest,
sitting on the body of Joseph Pratt, do
find that he came to his death by wound
in the left breast, inflicted on him with a
pocket knife in the hands of Alexander
Thrasher on the 10th day of March, 1881,

pie in her court Of manufactured JUST
ice; she has arraigned several members
of the Land League, though they have
in no instance violated the British
law, forced, as it has been upon the
Irish people against their will. But
the work of the Land League cannotA
be stopped. 1t needs, however, al
the aid it will receive. This is .
cause which appeals to all Justice
loving people. 1t involvesthe death
struggle of whole nation against the
greatest iniquity that ever cursed
mankind, and all should be interested
in it's success. 1t involves the future
happiness of the people, not only of
Ireland, but of America and other
countries; for the movement now 60
ing on in Ireland is only the initia-
tory step towards a universal de-
maid of all the people for their
natural interchangeable free use of
all the Land, and to establish practi-
cally once and forever,that immutabls
law that "He who labors, unto him
do the full fruits belong" To aid
in this great work a branch CT the
Irish National Land LEAGUE has been
organized in this locality, and the
cooperation of all who believe in the
Justice of this cause is earnestly re-
quested. This is not the time to stand
idly by; this is not the time TO with
hold support for any personal or
petty reasons. All should earnestly
cooperate in this movement, and,
like good men and true, having one
leading OBJECT, push on the good work
to a successful consummation.

TO THE MEMORY OF MRS.
MARY IL. CROW.
We miss thee, darling Mary,
From thy familiar place;
We do not hear thy footsteps near,
Nor see thy cheerful face.
We miss thee at the table;
We feel thy absence there;
And o, what sorrows pierce our hearts
To see thy vacant chair
We miss thee in the garden,
Where thou didst oft retreat,
To breathe the fragrance of the flowers
And rest thy weary feet.
We miss thy kind words spoken,
Thy merry laugh and SMILE
We miss the fond look of thine eye
We miss thee all the while.
Our home is sad with out thee;
How desolate each heart
Oh, could we hear thy voice again,
What joy it would impart.
We miss thee, o we miss thee,
Which ever way we go;
The stroke of death that snatched thee
hence
Hath filled our hearts with woe.
Farewell dear Mary victor
Our souls were knit to thine;
The mem'ry of thy kindness still
Around our hearts entwine.
Again we hope 10 meet thee
When LIES short journeys DER;
All yes we hoTe to meet thee
On heavens eternal shore.
RESPONSE.
o husband dear, hush every sigh;
Wipe all thy tears away,
For have reached that world on high
Where relgns eternal day.
I've safely passed the pillows roar
Upon life's stormy sea,
And here, upon the the Shining Shore,
I'm waiting now for thee.

A RE UNION OF THE PATcHIN FAMILY.
"A pleasant reunion of the Patchln fam
lily was held at Burnside, in December
last, at the residence of Horace Patchin,
Esq. The Patchins are well known
throughout this country as the most
wealthy and hospitable of our citizens and
anything concerning them will be read
with interest. We clip the follc wing ar
ticle from the Cherrytree, (PaO Rtc2rd of
Feb. I'd.
When John Patchin, York State Yam
kee, came to Pennsylvania some forty years
ago, the western part of the State was al
most wilderness, especially along the
heavly-wooded arts adjacent to the upper
Susquehanna liver. He settled at q point
on the Susquehanna river now known as
Patchinvillc, and although possessed o no
means except pluck and energy, he soon
became the posses sor of over 10000 acr es
of valuable timber lands. and as he was an
energetic and honorable Zimmerman uhe
business OF the West Branch being then
in its infancy he soon became the leader
in all business enterprises. His invest
ments were well made, and now the lands
in the possession of his sons are valued at
over 81 100000, some of them purchased
at 800 per acre. John Patchin was the ia.
ther ola large family ofsons and daughters,
all of whom are living except Emellne,
who wGs inter-married with Rev. Mlllick,
of the M. + Church.
On the 2Sth of December the family met
for the first time in many years at the hos
pltdble residence of Horace Patcnin, in
Burnside, Clearfield county, with their
wives and children. There were present
the host and eldest of the family, Horace
Patchin; Clark Patchin of Glen Hope, Clear
field county; Aaron Patchin residing at the
old homestead; Jack Patchin, Burnside:
George Palch'n, who resides below Cherry
tree; Henry Patchin, who resides at Prairie
City, Iowa; and Mary who was inter-mar
lied with Mr. Walters of Duncanyile
Blair county, but whose husband has been
dead several years. 1t is useless for us IN
say that the family reunion was u pleasant
one and that those who participated were
delighted.
The same party again met at Aaron
Patchin's at Patchiuville, on Friday Dec
81, at which time ieasting and good Iumol
were again INDUCED in.
