President Arthur has taken the
oath and assumed the duties of his
high office. Since the terrible TRACE
dy of the second of July, he has so
conducted himself as to grow in the
respect and confidence of the people.
and, if he will carry out the dead
Presidents policy, he will give US an
acceptable administration. In regard
to the cabinet. we hope he will make
no changes, for the present anyhow.
Mr. James should be retained in the
Post Office Department permanently.
He is the best man for the position
that we know of. Mr. Blaine is also
one of the ablest State Secretaries we
have ever had, and ought to be re-
tanned; but we cannot hope for that.
The other cabinet officers are giving
satisfaction, and are competent to fill
their positions-sOme Of them may be
retained. President Arthur has an
opportunity to go down to posterity
with the love of his people. Will he
do it?

MILAN EXCHANGE
SATURDAY, SEPT'R "a, 1881.

On last Monday night the sad news
flashed over the wires that President
James A. Garfield had died at 1926
pm. For several days the public
had been in some sense prepared for
it; yet the solemn fact cast dark
gloom over the whole country
north, south, east and west. We have
heard no expression Sut that of sor>
row at this national calamity, for
Gen. Garfield was respected and low
ed by all as the President Of the whole
country. The South received the
news with peculiar sadness, for her
people had learned to believe he was
statesman with Il heart big enough
TO take in all sections and combine
them in one great family. In nearly
every city and town meetings were
held and resolutions of respect and
coincidence adopted. Bells were toll
ed, flags were placed at half>mast,
minute guns were fired, and business
generally was suspended. In fact,
fifty millions of people were thrown
into mourning, and the civilized world
was in full sympathy with them. Eel
egrams of coincidence were sent from
the different governments of the
world, and Especial personal message
WAS sent by Queen Victoria to Mrs.
Garfield. The remains, after laying
in state in the rotunda OF the capitol
at Washington until yesterday, were
carried to Cleveland, Ohio, where
they will be laid to rest in Lake View
Cemetery next Monday. President
Garfield was born November 10,
1881, and died September 10, 1881,
lacking just two months of being fifty
years Of age.

President Arthur again took the

formally rendered their designations,
but wee requested to remain in of,

proclamation appointing next Mon
day as day of humiliation and
mourning, and recommending the
people to assemble in their places of
worship. There will be no extra ses-
sion of Congress, but an executive
session oN the Senate will be called
about the 18th of October.

ten thousand ex.Federal and ex Con

ceremonies in honor of the dead Pres
ident. The occasion was the recep-

The exercises were very solemn and
impressive.

The result of the autopsy indicates
that the doctors knew little if any
more about the Presidents wound
than the public did. Gov. Luke
Blackburn, of Kentucky, who did not
see the patient at all, seems to have
diagnosed and prognosed the case
more correctly than all the big guns
who were with him.

TIE VERNAL EQUINOX.

The sun crossed the line at six O'Clock Sum
day morning, and the astronomical Spring then
began The days and nights are now every.
where equal, and while the north pole is just
coming into light the south pole is sinking into
the long aniarlic night. At the equator the
sun ia exactly overhead at noon. Some persons
find it difficult 10 understand the astronomical
divisions oi the seasons which is nev,ithelt ss
more accurate than the ordinary division. A
Economically the seasons begin when the sun
crosses the equator in the Spring and Fall, and
when he reaches the tive points of grea te3t di-
vergence from the equator in summer and
winter. These points fill some twenty day s
later in each case than the dates fixed in the
almanacs for the beginning of the seasons. In
realty, thu year has only two primary divis.
ijn-, which are determined by the position Of
the sun north or south Of the equator. Spring
and Autumn are merely transitional periods,
marking the gradual change from cold to warm
and from warm to cold. The equinoXial
storms, which occur twice year, about Il G
time when the sun crosses the equator, have
immemoiially occupied an important place in
popular weather lore. The farmers look for
them regularly, and farm work is sometimes Sc.
riously tssrranged by tarly "Cquinoctial'
This time the sun made stormy crossing, and
under such circumstances it is said that reri.
cd of good weather is generally in prospect.

OBITUARY..

Mrs. Sarah Fritz, wife of Mr.. jesse Fritz,
Esq, died at her home in Sugafloaf township,
Columbia county, on Sabbath morning, March
9th, aged fify-four years and nine months.
The death of Mrs. Fritz was a great shock to
her many friends, having retired the evening
before in her usual health. About three
o'clock, she spoke to her husband, aging she
was not well. lie Immediately arose and pro-
cured light, when upon returning to her bed
side, he found her unconscious, in which con-
diion she remained until about five o'clock a.
M, when she gently passed TO the land Of spir-
its. Mrs Fritz was woman of rare virtues.
As q W ife she was devoted to her husband. As
a mother she strove TO train her children 10
honor and usefulness. She has left the indeli-
BILE impress of her own pure life upon her fam
lily, and few are the homes where a purer social
atmosphere is broathed. As christian, she
was quiet and unassuming, but always adorning
the doctrines OF God her Savior by an uprt9ht
walk ard Gtdly conversation. Loved by all
who had the privilege OF her acquaintance, she
has left the legacy of pure ex,uple, and the
memory of her name is as ointment poured
forth. Her funeral was attended on Tuesday
morning at ST. Gibrlel's church by the largest
concourse Of people that has assembled there
for years, Rev. II. B. Forner officiating.

A WORD TO OUR MERCHANTS.

There is an agent of New York printing
house in the city, soliciting orlers for cards.
Our merchants and business men should refuse
to purchase of him. "a equally good work can
be done al offices in this city for the same or
even less money. There il no good reason
why foreign establishments should he patroni-
zed to the de,riment of those at home. If sat.
isfactory work could not be done here the case
would be different, bIt as it is, ii is unjust to
Wikesbtrre printers to order goods from New
York. Help your ueighbors and they will help
You.
The Wilkesbarre Record prints the above,
and it is equally as applicable to this town.
Agents come here from distant places and take
orders for letter heads envelopes, legal blanks,
&c, while printing offices at home can do just
as good work at lower prices. We submit that
it is unfair and unjust. The town rapers,
some fthem at least, are alwiys ready to for
ward any enterprise in which our business men
are interested. They advertise the town, and
bring people here to increase the trade; they
favor all Improvements that are calculat, to
beneli, the property owners, but when there is
any printing 10 be done many Of or citizens
send away for it, or give their orders to agents
who come here only to carry money away from
the town. Let us ali help each other.
