DEAR REEMAN-SOci ability is OF the char
acteristics of good and generous people. and
think we possess that element in our town. For
instance, a few weeks ago a number Of ladies and
gentl assembled at the house of friend in
the evening for the purpose of having a little
amusement. After enjoying themselves chatting,
asking conundrums, playing "bingO." etc, for
while, IL was discovered that there a good mu-
stefan present, and some one proposed Gripping
the light fantastic which accordingly done
in good style. About IL O'Clock the party dis
persed, and all went to their respective homes
peaceably and quietly, being well pleased with
their evenings enjoyment. but in few DAYS after
ward some of our good people held up their hands
in holy horror because the young ladi had danced
viii be the means of cOrruptiGg the morals OF al
our young ladies who engage in it. A few weeks
passed on, however, and there was another party
-ihls time in daylight. The old and the young,
the rich and the poor, the saint and the sinner,
gathered together for n little social amusement.
After cOgitating for while to what kind o. play
game called "Ring.'' Well, now there Is nothing
bad about the play, 1t is simply this: All hands
join and form a circle while another Of the parlc-
tpants goes around the circle andItaps some one
the back as much as to say you can't catch me.
The that is tapped runs briskly after the other
and if he she catches the fugitive before getting
around the circle. the forfeit is kiss, Now this
is all very nice, and have no doubt but what
people enjoy that kind of fun Speaking with
strict prOpriety, however however in which is the
most harm, dancing or kissing Especially if it
happens to be married man who kisses young
lany)? We do not see the propriety OF some peo-
pie making much ado about d ncing. for we can
read in the Holy Scriptures of both dancing and
kissing. We do not think there is any harm what
tremes; but, Josh Billings says, "sch is life -
For our part are inclined to think that there is
less harm in social dancing party than there is
in social kissing and hugging party. But you
know ministers will difer with us the subject of
dancing, and of course modestly allow them
the right Of their own opinions. SAXON. 9

DEATH OF WILLIAM PALMER, EsQ.-This
former well known citizen Cf our county diea
at New Cambria, Macon county, missouri,
on Tuesday, July 4th, 1892, In the SD year OF
his age. We believe Squire Palmer, as ne
was Familiarity called, came to this county
from Westmoreland. ana first commenced
keeping a hotel in WilmOre In 1888 ne re-
moved to the Summit, where for some years
he kept the hotel now used as summer re-
sort by Mr., William Linton. After thaV ne
went to Plane No. 2, in Washington town
shin, where he conducted the "Washington
House, Leaving there he returned to VIII
more, where he again embarked in the hotel
business, and in a few years afterwards went
to JohnstOwn, and there became proprietor
of the Foster House" He left JOhnStown
in 1868 and located in Missouri, where he
lived up to the time of his death, engaged,
we believe, all the time in keeping hotel,
the business he had so long followed in this
county.
This sketch of MIR. Palmer's life would be
incomplete, however, if we failed to mention
the fact that through the efforts of Thomas
A Mcguire, then of this county. authority
was obtained from the War Department.
shortly after the civil war broke out to raise
q company for camp duty at Camp Curtin,
Harrisburg. The company was composed OF
men who were pretty well advanced in wears
and was known far and wide as the SILVER
Grays." Squire Palmer was elected Captain,
the late Captain Murray, of this place, First
Lieutenant and Mr. Mcguire held a military
rank in it. The discovery having been made
after a time that the company, like the In
dams gun, ''cost more than it came to, 1t
was mustered out of the service in something
over year after it had been organized.
While Squire Palmer resided in this coun-
ty he always bore the reputation or an hon
est, upright man and good citizen, and from
the account of his death, furnished by the
New Cambria paper, he seems to have fully
preserved that honorable distinction in his
Missouri home. On the day of his funeral
all places of business in New Cambria were
closed as a token of respect for the kind
hearted, good old man, who was held in high
esteem by his fellow townsmen. His remains
were inferred in the Episcopal cemetery at
New Cambria.

GALA TINES At CAPE MAY beginning
with the 18th inst. Cape MAY puts on holiday
attire, and from that time until the close of
the season soiOurners there will be at no loss
for amusement. The famous Baltimore regi-
mpnt, the "5th Maryland" with three hun
dred new and a band of forty, will encamp
on the 18th and re main until the 2Sth, during
which time there will be balls in their honor,
exhibition drills, lawn concerts, paraGes,
target exercises, and all the features Incl
dental to camp life. On the 29th and 30th
the Grand Musical Festival will take place,
and il is promised by those in charge that it
will be the greatest event of the kind ever
held at watering place. NJ. Arbuckle. the
famous cornet viTtuoso, and other distin-
guished sOlOists, have already been engaged.
Simon HassleT, Carl SentZ, and j. F, Zim-
norman will lead an orchestra of one hun
dred and twenty. five and chorus of three

Commencing on the Goth inst there will
be ascensiOns in a captive balloon, one of the
largest ever constructed in this country for
manufacturing and conducting which the
famous PrCnauts PrOf's. Chas. (. and John
Wise have beeu engaged.

suitable machinery, the balloon will be held
captive and permitted to rise to the height of
one thousand feet, at which altitude view
of fifty miles in every direction around Cape
May will be obtained. These ascensions
will of course be for the public. Cape May
was never more popular than at present, and
with its beach, which is the finest in the
world, illuminated by electric lights its i'm
proved ocean drives beach railroads, excel
lent surf, etc, stands number one among the
watering places of the country. The Penn
sylvana Railroad Company have arranged

enjoying the kind hospitality of that prince of good
fellows, Judge Thomas, l have been for the last

Hugh Kelly, esq. My host also has in his employ
an old Emeralder, hero of the late "Oupleasant- t.
ness. y who is very entertaining gentleman. In
all my lourneyings through life. think / never
met with a man who had so many miscellaneous
accompi shments as this old Union veteran. Es-
pecially are his -winded piOus reflections
derful. He is exceedingly edilying in Scriptural
moralizngs. He told me how he had once offend
ed n friend by telling him Of some Of his misdO-
ngs. But, said he, don't any Of us like TO have
our sins set befroe us. There David for in

caved right in and cried out; ''Oh, Lordy Massyl

My old friend Kelly Is also very entertaining in
his commentaries on the ligh thing bugs, katy

me with a poem on the hrst domestic fly Of 1882,

The readers Of the FREEMAN viii please to OBJ

etic license, you know, was necessary TO bring in
the rhyme.
With the poetry of the Hrtrkeys man, I endorse
the prose OF Josh Billings. who says: Il hate a
fly, durn fly" Yes, fully endorse both senti-
ments. l regard the fly individually and collect
ively as a "durned'' nuisance The newspaper
man is the greatest victim Of the hy. The editor
may wag his ear iucessantly, yet viii the fly fly
upon the rim of his long aurTcul ar appendage
and distress him more than spring poets. Josh
Billings sentiment, "durn fly. - will meet with a
hearty second by every long cared editor and bald
headed tat man. In boarding houses the fly rises
TO the dignity of a common enemy. He keeps the
housekeeper in perpetual stew. When he is not
in the butter he is in the gravy. when he is
not in the gravy he is in the sugar bowl awaiting
TO be sacrificed in the hot coffee. Although it is
remarkable fact that greens. radSbes, onions
spring chickens and spring poets come about the
same time, still the appearance Of the fly Is not
occasion for an Ovation. With Josh Billings 1
say, '-durn fly" q. n. =.
