From he New Holland Clarion.
Constable NJ NJ. Weaver, of East Earl, has
of late made it hot for the petty chicken
thieves on the mountain. On Saturday night
he was again on the hill after several parties,
but falling to get them all, he invited one of
them to call at his residence on Monday
morning, saying that he wished to see him
on some confidential business Ben Rice,
for 1t was no other, came before breakfast,
which the obliging constable gave him, as
well as a coat, when he arrested him, and
hauled him to Jail, where he now stops till
trial at next weeks quarter sessions. Ben
was badly fooled that time and will nc
doubt have less confidence in any one in the
future.

A CREMATION ADVOCArE,
Who Doesn't Want His Bones Lying Around
Loose After Death.

Who Doesn't Want His Bones Lying Around
Loose After Death.
From the Pittsburg Leader,
The following Is the copy Of communica.
tion from a well-known Pittsburg journalist,
addressed to the publisher OF the paper issued
in the eastern part of this state as an advo-
cate OF cremation:
Editor Lancaster Cre1adtia:
In your useful and entertaining periodical
you offer the public great deal of valuable
information on the subject of post mortem
cremation. i like your ideas i enter into
them " ith zest and dlscrimnative delight :;
/ hail them as evidences of the march of pro-
gress, which from the half.cooked mission
ary of the savage hurries us on to the
wholly incinerated " dear departed" of the
civilized American, When l am no more,
] want to be disposed of by your favorite
method, and have my ashes distributed
among my friends in dainty little boxes of
French make on each of which shall DO in
scribed something to this effect
Dear friend, whom this small box is sent to-
Preserve IL as u lost memento.
Although CT me a trifiing section
The dust will keep up recollection;
And oft n tear will wet your lashes
When you behold poor --'s ashes.
How much better such an arrangement
will be than that necessitated by the common
plan. Ii my body were buried in the ordin-
ary fashion the only expedient left me in
order to furnish my friends with substantial
auU eutlI6ly peIsOUhl uOh6Hb WOuIu Db
have my bones resurrected and equitably dis
tributed. But this would not do. A human
bone, especially when 1t belongs to q near
and dear departed friend, is not much craved
by people. If any one sent me a thigh bone,
for instance, belonging to my old school
master or to the red-haired girl with whom
] fiirted years ago, what could j do with
itY Hang 1t up over the mantlepiece
by blue ribbon or use 1t for
q paper weight or hollow 1t out
fasten legs to it and turn it into pen-holder?
Not i. There is that within me which would
make me shrink from such a mockery of
the happy visions OF the past. Sir, would
be constrained to have that thigh-bone
decenuy inferred and a monument erected
TO its memory. But should j receive
a thimbleiul of ashes from the oven
where some dear friend was reduced to
his primordial elements, then would the
equine be OF different tint Those re-
mains would rest comfortably in any
spot in my house; and 1, without the
faintest possibility OF my thoughts reverting
10 tho dissecting.room or the schindery,
might commune In pensive silence with my
dead.
Accompanying this expression of my SEN
timents on the momentous question which
you so ably handle i enclose my subscrip-
lions to your journal for the next 400 years
Should my death occur before this term ex-
pres you may continue sending it to the man
who has the most ashes. He will be my
legal representative.
Yours coDsumedly.
