GENERAL ORDERS.

The q. A, II, Issue the AnnunI Memorial
Day Order.
l. Once more the returning spring
with its opening flowers resurrects the
memory of our fallen comrades and re-
minds us of the approach of our sacred
"Memorial Day" We see them as they
fell when more than a century ago the
fiood-tide of death swept them from
our side; we see them scattered along
our march of the passing years, some
with the dews of death not yet wiped
away and the flowers still fresh sprink
led with the tears of loved ones. Those
Of us that remain are but few in com
parison with those who sleep beneath
the ground that shall echo with our
solemn tread Soon we must commit
this sacred duty to other hands; let us
do it faithfully while we can. II is
timely and profitable we should once
again repair to the graves of our fallen
comrades and let the memory of their
heroic deeds baptise us afresh with
loyalty to their heroism and devotion
to their country.
Need l urge upon you that each step
and action on that day be so fraught
with regard for the occasion and rev
erenee for the departed comrades, that
we shall command the respect and
commendation Of every citizen through
out the Nation
Let us reyerently and tenderly gar
land with Natures purest and most
fragrant gift each mound where sleeps
our comrade aud afiectionately think
of the unknown and unmarked graves
of our patriot brothers, remembering
that in this solemn mission we have
the sympathy and prayers Of the wild
ow and orphan, and the blessing of a
grateful republic.
ii. ARRANGEMENTS will be made by

The majority of Lehighton's tax
payers have no doubt already fully
made up their minds which way they
intend to vote on the increase of our
bonded Indebtedness and the surface
indications are that the affirmative
will win by a very large majority. The
sllOO paid annually for water rent has
long been considered an unwise ex-
penditure and property holders will
accordingly vote for the increase in
order to secure the protection for
which the borough pays. With but
few exceptions everybody seems to
favor the erection of a public building
for hose house, the same to have
rooms for council, and school board to-
gether with cells for lookup purposes
The proposed structure will be erected
on Third street, between South and
Iron streets on a lot owned by the
borough. 1t will very likely be two
stories high and will be built of brick
in a substantial manner Besides be-
ing structure which will be credit
to our city it will fill long felt want
in every particular. We hope the few
who have arrayed themselves so con
spiciuously against the increase of in
debtedness will come over so that the
result of the election on May q will be
unanimous. We have so often spoken
of the necessity of a building of this
kind that there is no new argument
that we can use in its behalf, further
than the fact that we MUST have the
building and accordingly everybody
should vote for it.

A Breeze in the Conference.

PITTsBURG, May The third DAYS
session of the African NJ. E. church
conference was slightly ruffied. The
matter of deferring the election of three
new bishops was under discussion. The
conference was almost equally divided,
and the greatest confusion prevailed
among the members. When order had
been restored, the venerable presiding
bishop severely reprimanded the entire
membership, and said that their CON
Duct was more becoming a barn storm
ing than a religious gathering Il want
you all to keep quiet, and if you don't |
will make yoU,' heisaid. Later in the
proceedings the confusion was renewed
by member from Alabama, who sug-
guested that the conference proceed
with the election of bishops imme-
diNtely. Order was only restored by an
adjournment of the session.

Fisher, Bruce & CO., VS.. j. J. Hum
mel. Sur rule to set aside the ap-
praisement of goods made under the
defendants claim for the benefit of the
exemption law. Fisher, Bruce & Co.,
obtained a Judgment against j. j. Hum
mel, a glassware and queensware deal
er in Lehighton, before Justice of
the Peace and caused an execution to
be issued to a constable, who made a
return of no goods. A notice was serv-
upon the constable by one I. c. j..
Hummel, a brother to the defendant,
declaring that the goods belonged to
him. The plaintiffs thereupon entered
their judgment in court and had writ
of execution placed in the hands of the
sheriff. When the sheriff came to levy,
then the defendent claimed the benefit
of the exemption law and a regular up
praisement was made. The plaintiff
then petitioned the court to set aside
the appraisement, making the point
the denial of ownership, when the con
stable attempted to make his levy, de-
barred Hummel from the benefit of
the exemption. This seems to be good
law and if the denial of the ownership
we're admitted by Hummel the case
would have clear sailing, but Hum
mel denies that he denied ownership
to the constable. He says he was pres
ent when certain paper was served
upon the constable but he disclaims
all knowledge of the papers contents.
Here is a question of fact which only a
jury can determine, but how shall the
Intervention of a jury be secured? 1t
was claimed that this could not be done
because the case is not analogous to
sheriff's interpleader. Judge Dreher
in very lengthy opinion says among
other things that while he does not
want to say that this case could not be
determined on the present rule by
adopting such procedure of practice as
would submit the facts to a jury yet
there is no doubt the plaintiff may in
demnify the sheriff and proceed to
a sale of the goods. The petition there
fore to set the appraisement aside is
refused, without prejudice to the
plaintiff

THE RAMS GUNS COULDN'T TOUCH HER.
The communication between the captain
and pilot and the people in the turret was
cut short by the breaking Of the speaking
tube early in the action. Messages passed
thereafter from the lips Of men stationed
at intervals. The captain and pilot were
in the pilot house, a structure made Of
square iron logs, bolted at the ends. 1t was
fifty feet away from the turret.
After fighting three hours the shot i'm the
turret needed replenishing and the vessel
was hauled off. The Merrimac at once
turned TO the Minnesota She was met by
a full broadside OF twenty guns that would
have blown wooden vessel out Of water
She answered with a shell that tore the
insides out of the vessel amidship and set
her on fire. The Monitor returning again
engaged the Merrimac and met with her
first severe mishap. A shell from gun,
not ten yards distant, struck the upper log
of the pilot house at the sight hole where
Worden happened to be looking out He
was stunned by the conclusion and his eyes
blinded by the powder and fine debris
blown into them Believing that the pilot
house was destroyed along with the steer
ing gear, Worden ordered the vessel to
Lieut.. Greene, who was in the turret
Greene examined the damage to the pilot
house, and finding it slight determined to
go ON with the fight; but the Merrimac had
meanwhile set her course back for Eliza
beth river, whence she had come so proudly
on the morning of the sth.
The fire on the Minnesota was put ont
and she escaped to engage in many an
other fight, so that the object Of the Mer-
rimac when she set out to serve her as she
had done the Cumberland and Congress
was defeated, and the baby Monitor had
accomplished it. Worden and his crew
crowed over it as victory, as might be
expected of men who held the battle
ground and saw their enemy beat quiet
retreat.
This ended the first fight of ironclads
and decided the future of naval science.
The superiority Of the pygmy lay in her
revolving gun turret with its impervious
shield, her rapid movements and her low,
invulnerable deck. Her weaknesses were
that the turret was not under complete
control and her guns experimental and
not fully effective The shots were deliv-
cred at random, never twice in the same
place.
The Merrimac was repaired, and two
months later. on May IL, was blown up to
prevent her capture The Monitor sank
on her way to Hatteras in December, 1862,
and in that disaster the nation lost a noble
relic. With what enthusiasm would she
be hailed today in a naval parade. escorted

her gallant, forlorn fight might be thing
