On the morning of the 30th by o'clock

nity for miles around laid aside their usual
cares and came in to join in the ceremonies
assigned for the honor of our fallen heroes
The procession formed on Diamond
Square in the following order: Members OF
the g. A. r., 2nd, Veteran Soldiers not
Schools; 4th, Citizens. The column headed
by the Union Brass Band and Martial
Band organized for the occasion, proceeded
to the Lutheran Church where the impress

well as Others, was moistened with tears.
prompted by memories awakened by the
Speaker.
Some very excellent music was rendered
in the church by the choir, and an appropri-
ate solo sung by Rev. a. S. Baumgardner is
worthy of special notice. At the close of
the exercises in the church, the procession
Fellows Cemetary, where after another inn
pressive ceremony by the G. A. r. Post,
beautiful wreaths of flowers prepared and
borne hither by the town and community
were deposited on the mounds rising above
every soldiers grave. The ceremonies at
the cemetery completed. the procession re-
turned to the village and details from the
G.. A. r. Post were made to complete the

the order were repeated and again the floral
offerings of Spring were strewn upon the
graves of those who fell in Freedoms holy

We take the following from the Harris
burgh Patriot Of recent date: "Accompa-
MED by Solicitor W. C. Whitney, Of New
York, President Gowen furthered his mis-
sion in Harrisburg yesterday by visit to
the site OF the station for the Harrisburg
and Western railroad, as located at Second
and Vine streets by the Rnfriot several weeks
ago. Mr.. Gowen tregards the situation Is
the most eligible in the city. Mr.. Whitney
says it is but seventy feet greater in distance
from Market Square than the present depot.
As the Readings president outlined it on
the map, the station has a frontage on Sec
ond and on Front streets and is directly oyer
the tracks of the railroad The right Of way
does not take in immediate Vine street bat
is surveyed over from the street towards
Washington avenue. 1t is secured by the
Swayger property on Front street, for which
$4,000 was paid, and two houses on River
alley. The route takes in to Second street
the three Erb properties. and opposite the
Jauss tavern property, and so on over three
acres purchased from w. T. Hildrup, Esq,
the Wister meadows to the Lebanon Valley.
The elevated road will be twenty feet in
height and seventeen feet in the clear.
The contract was completed yesterday for
the purchase Of two hundred and fifty acres
of land, the Mccormick property, on the
Cumberland Valley side of the river. Three
hundred dollars per acre was the price paid
or SIS ,000. On these acres the extensive
shops of the new company will be erscted,
shops that in the course Of time will en-
ploy, according to President Gowen himself,
$500 men. Everything is in readiness to
begin the building of the road. This will
undoubtedly lead to large town at Bridge
port and rapid increase in population of
Cumberland county.
This action of the Harrisburg and West
ern road brings new life to the free bridge
agitation and will go far as silent argu-
ment in its favor among the Cumberland
county people. They will see the necessity
of moving and cooperating with Harris
burg in opeing q free avenue over the river,
and cannot fail to note the benefit that must
ensue from such means of travel. In conf
yersing with people from over the river last
evening Patriot representative found that
decidedly favorable and anxious feeling
prevails over that way as tot the matter. They
are wild for free bridge >and say that it
must come. n

State Librarian,s Report.

The report Of Mrs. E. A WInsor, the State
Librarian, shows that there are I6,640 books in
the library. She urges the Legislature to eH,-
ploy some capable person to complete tho cata-
logne OF books, which is about half done. She
has refused to permit the use OF any of the regI-
mental flags in her custody for parade occa-
sions, but the demands are so numerous and
urgent that she advises legislation regulating
the matter The consolidation of the State Law
Library with the State Library is recommended.
There are now In the CUSTODY OF the Librarian
forty pa. sle-fiags which have not been identified,
aud soldiers are invited to Inspect them.
with the hope OF learning the regiments to
which they belong. She eouenrs In the
RECOMMENDATION of the Acknowledgement
that all the relics in the custody of the state
Librarian should be transferred to the military
department She would also adj wise tue transfer
of many specimens and relics which properly he
long to the geological department. If the State
Lbrariau should be given exclusive control of all
the States books the office would be made one of
more Importance, and IL would be the means OF q
large saving.
