within reasonable limits of outlay. The
structure has been regarded as one OF
permanent character, and the probabili-

There Is no better evidence required to
demonstrate the fact that the Centennial

until October 27, inclusive, in honor Of
the one hundredth anniversary of the set
tlement OF the northwest territory, will
be an event Of National Importance, than
the bare statement that the combined in
terest Of eleven sovereign states Of the
union have been enlisted in the enter
prise, and that the governors of these
states are active commissioners, with a
staff selected from their respective COM
monwealths, TO cooperate with the parent
board of commissioners in securing botlI
attendance and exhibits. These public
spirited citizens of the associate commits
sion, five in number from each state, have
gone to work with Jealous enthusiasm,
and the result cannot be doubted
Herewith is presented the pictures and
brief sketches OF the governors of the
states interested in the exposition. They

in the three months campaign, at the
end OF which time he was commissioned
lieutenant colonel OF the Forty-hfth
Pennsylvania infantry. On September
4, 1869, he resigned his command to take
command OF the One Hundred and
Forty eighth regiment At the battle of
Charlottesville he was shot through the
body, and the wound was supposed to be
fatal. Before reioining his regiment, and
Just after his convalescence, he organized
and sent TO the field the emergency men
from Camp Curtin, who fought so well
at the battle Of Gettysburg. AT Cold
Harbor he was again wounded, this time
In the hip, and for his galantry in this
action was promoted to the command of
his brigade with the rank of brigadier
general. Going north soon after the
battle of Petersburg, in which he was
once more wounded In the side by piece
OF shell, he remained there until the bat
tie Of Rcam's station, on August 4, 1864,
when he lost a leg. This loss obliged
him to retire from the service, when he
returned to Bellefonte, where he resumed
the practice Of law. He married the
daughter of his law partner and pre-
ceptor in 1865. He was defeated for gov
ernor in 1882.
