The final wind up of political demonstra-
tons in this place was had on Tuesday even
ing. The Democrats of district No. had a
grand torchlight parade. Although but a few
days notice was given, delegations from
Middleburg and Emmittsburg were present.
The line was formed at the forks of the EN-
mittsburg and Gettysburg roads, with Chas.
Elliott chief marshall and John p. Gardner,
Peter Smith and James Eckenrode as aids.
First in line came the chief marshal and
Uniontown Band; then horsemen, and then
old Ben Butler and Belva Lockwood in
buggy, with a mule attached. Old Ben
welded his long handled spoon over the poor
brute'S carcass i'll such a manner as showed
that the old man was angry. We think Belva
captivated several of our young bloods. Then
came Harvey with some very appropriate
banners and transparencies, led by DIR. E. B.
Simpson; then Middleburg, with her flag at
the head of her column, and notices, &c, to
suit the occasion. Happy Joe, with his ban
ner, was not missing. Then line of buggics
filled to their utmost capacity; then Emmitts-
burg, led by their band, discoursing sweet
music. All along the line the houses of the
Democrats, and several Republicans who laid
by all partisan feeling and illuminated, were
in fact as if on fire. We cannot pass it by
without mentioning that the Elliott House
was grand; but when we got down to the
Catholic parsonage we saw almost fac-simile
of house on fire, so extensive and brilliant
was the illumination gotten up by Miss Olivia
Jacobs In fact, the town was painted red.
After the parade Mr.. Henry Gait, chosen
president of the meeting, introduced Mr.. Jas.
A. DifTenbaugh, of Westminster, and Mr..
Vincent Seabold, of Emmittsburg, who ad-
dressed the assembly. After which came
fire works and burning Of tar barrels and
boxes. Everything passed off pleasantly,
without the least disturbance whatever.
Everybody was happy and enjoyed the occa-
sion.
Now that we have expressed our feeling on
the election, next in line is the race for the
position of postmaster here. There are only
six aspirants Who will get it is the enigma,
but we know who would like to have it.
Butchering is pretty well over. There
were not as many killed this year as last, on
account of numbers of porkers dying of
cholera. We still hear of some sick in the
community. With all the scarcity pork is
selling at 81 cents.
The marriage bells have rung in several
families recently, and death visited the family
of Mr.. John P. Gardner, taking his youngest
child; also daughter of j. Wesley Cook.
Rev. John I. Delaney is in Baltimore at
tending the Plenary Council.
Ella, eldest daughter of Mr.. Ezra X.
Reaver, who has been afflicted with con-
sumption for several years, is lying danger
ously i'll.
Mr. Milton Yount, our enterprising boot
and shoe merchant, moved into his new store
room and residence last week.

Union sLillsIte

The Democracy of this (Myers') district
celebrated the election of Cleveland and Hen
bricks on Saturday night last by grand
parade and illumination at Silver Run and
Union Mills. Considering the brief notice
given it was certainly a very creditable affair,
and even surpassed the most sanguine expec-
tations of those who had it in charge. BY 6
O clock from four to six hundred enthusiastic
Democrats had assembled at Silver Run, and
a short time thereafter the line began to form,
under the leadership of chief marshal L.
Herbert Shriyer and his assistants. The
procession was headed by the Pleasant Valley
Band, the Silver Run and North Pleasant
Valley Bands also being in the line at suitable
intervals. The procession, composed of from
four to five hundred persons, on horseback,
afoot and in vehicles, and nearly all bearing
flaming torches, moved up the Littlestown
pike as far as the residence of Mr.. John Maus,
then it countermarched and passed back
through Silver Run to the village of Union
Mills. At the residence Of State Senator L.
Herbert Sbriver halt was made, and the as
sembly was addressed by Mr.. B. +. Grouse,
of Westminster, after which the line was re-
formed and marched back to Silver Run,
where it was dismissed. In the procession
were two wagons, beautifully decorated with
evergreens and filled with ladies, who, as the
line moved along, sang patriotic songs All
the Democratic houses were illuminated,
some of them most beautifully. The residence
of Senator Shriver and surroundings was
ablazc with lights. Everything passed off
nicely and all had a good time.
The following are the weights of some of
the porkers slaughtered in this vicinity: r.
n. Koontz four, weighing 1926, 299, 292, 256;
Solomon Boose one, 1896; +. NJ. Hall two,
go; Geo. f. Bachman one, 800; Leander

The subject of the above beautiful tribute, though
bora in Carlisle. Pa, was native of Taneytown,
this county where he resided until the family re
moved to Kansas, and is well remembered by the
wTiter Though more than twenty years have passed,
since our boyhood days were spent together his
Youthful face and form come before me bright and
beautiful, calling up to memory's gaze many happy,
innocent hours spent in the sports of childhood.
He was truly gentle and kind in his manner to all
his playmates- the pride of loving father and
mothers heart and the favorite of all with whom he
came in contact, for none knew him but to love
him. Full of all the mirthful traits characteristic
of the boysh days, he was nevertheless i'll the
strictest sense filled with deep and reverential
piety and was looked upon by all the model to
pattern after. Indeed, carrying my memory back
10 those days recall to mind how often our dear old
teacher set him before the model of the school,
1t must be a great consolation TO his relatives and
friends to know that in the full prime of his man
hood he carried out in his daily walks through life
the same high standard which he fixed for himself
in the Maytme of life. Such is life! In the midst
of it we are surrounded by death, and we are more
than reminded of the truth of the poet
Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north winds breath
And stars to set-but all.
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, o DEATH,
NICK.
