Mt. JACKSON, SHENANDOAH COUN-
TY, VA.-Our Soldiers Cemetery near
Mt. Jackson, Shenandoah County, Va,
is the final resting place of nearly five
hundred soldiers of the Army OF North
ern Virginia. Their powess is known,
because they followed the plumes OF
Beauregard, Johnston, Longstreet,
Rhodes, Ashby, Gordon, Hill, Stewart,
Ewell, Hampton, Jackson and Lee.
TIE government to which they gave
their allegiance, which they loved so
Loyalty and so grandly defended. is no
more, and the Confederate flag is iurled
forever.
Survivors OF the Blue and the Gray
meetin re-unions-meet on battle fields,
where, nearly a generation ago, they
grappled each other in deadly combat;
and, with emotions to which others are
strangers, review the soldiers service,
his valor, and his devotion to principle.
The Southern Confederacy, and the
uses that produced it, went down
with the remnant Of the Army Of North
ern Virginia at AppomattOx, and hence
forth lives only as memory. Veter-
aus, brave men of both armies are re-
united in one great American brother
hood, one citizenship, vieing with each
other in the pursuits of peace and the
promotion of the welfare OF our re-unit-
ed country-a union sealed with the
blood of the best OF both armies.
To these survivors, to Grand Army
Posts, Confederate veterans, the Order
OF United Confederate veterans, and
magnanimOus and generous people, we
appeal for liberal assistance in behalf
of the Ladies' Memorial Association OF

AN OLD OFFENDER.

S. E. Snively, Harrisburg livery
man passed through here Wednesday
night with bay mare he secured
Tuesday at Fortyfort, which had been
stolen from him on April IL. The
horse and buggy was hired to man
who gave his name as John Kline.
He came to Shickshinny on April I6
and registered as J. K. Alspack and
sold the horse to c. R. Stauffer stating
that he had driven the horse from
Baltimore. G.. A. Benscoter bought
the buggy and harness. Mr.. Stautfer
traded the horse to Ed. Phillips at
Hardpan and he traded it for another
horse to S. A. Sloan at Fortyfort
After Alspack disposed of the horse
and buggy he went to Bloomsburg and
hired horse and buggy from Wenner
& Derr, liverymen, and sold that also.
He was arrested at Selinsgrove and
placed in the Columbia County Jail.
--Mickshinny Echo.
This is the man who was convicted
here under the name of August Kline,
and is now serving sentence of tour
years in the Eastern Penitentiary.

A Singular Case.

A recent number of the Harrisburg
Telegraph says: There is living to-
day in an interior town of Pennsyl-
vania a gentleman whose brother
fought and was killed in the battle of
Germantown, October 4, I777-II8
years ago. This gentleman was born
in 1912 and is therefore SO years old.
His birth occurred thirty-hve years
after the battle, and the brother who
lost his life, aged IS, was the oldest
son of his father, who had twenty-four
children, and the gentleman referred
to was the youngest. We are safe in
affirming that there is not a similar
case in Pennsylvania or anywhere else.
The gentleman referred to in the fore
going is Moses Chamberlain, Esq, of
Milton, Pa.

DR.. H. A. Robbins had quite an
unpleasant experience recently. She
started from here to visit friends at
Shenandoah, but owing to a landslide
that caused delay in the train, she
decided to 60 to Pottsville where she
also had friends. 1t was just at the
time of the recent sudden change in
the weather, and when she left home
it was quite warm, and she was dress
ed throughout fer summer weather.
When she reached Pottsvlle it was
midnight, it was raining, and it was
cold, and she had neither water proof,
umbrella nor over shoes. A nearby
barber shop was open, and here she
applied for an umbrella, but failed to
get it. The proprietor however, kindly
offered to loan her his overcoat, and
as this was the only thing in reach,
she accepted it. From there she
started for her brother-in laws, and
on reaching their place she rang the
bell for some time, but got no response.
Then she went to neighbor's, and
succeeded in getting a response, but
as they did not know her they refused
to admit strange woman, with no
hat on, wearing mans overcoat, after
midnight, and then she sat down on
the porch and wondered if she would
have to freeze to death. Subsequently
she succeeded in enlisting the interest
of some passing men, who went with
her to her brotherin-law's, and sue
ceeded in arousing them, and she
gained admittance. After this, she
proposes to let them know when she
is coming, and she will endeavor to
arrive in the day time.

ST. PAUL'S PARISH NOTES.

Some needed repairs will be made
at St. Pauls Rectory in the way of
paper and paint.
The new Rector, Rev. D. N. Kirkby,
will arrive on June Sth, and will con-
duct the services on Trinity Sunday.
During the following week he will be
married in Brooklyn, N. Y. and will
return here with his bride on Friday,
June I4th.
The organ has suffered while the
church has been closed during the last
few months, and is badly out Of tune.
1t needs a thorough overhauling. 1t
is hoped that it will not be long before
there will be fine new instrument in
the church.
An innovation has been introduced
In the choir. An addition of ten
young ladies in vestments will increase
the number to twenty six. The ladies
will wear Oxford caps, with cassock
and Gotta. 1t is hoped that every
thing will be in readiness for their
first appearance on Trinity Sunday.
The vines on the church are grow.
ing rapidly, and in few years the
stone walls will be entirely covered
with ivy.
Sexton Thornton takes much pride
in the lawn on the church property,
and he has made it one of the prettiest
grass plots in town.

MAD DOG AT ORANGEV1LLE,

On Thursday of last week a strange
cog appeared in Orangeville, and
went down the Main street, biting
every dog it met. Tie Orangeville
dogs must have been out on a parade,
or fourteen of them were met by the
stranger and each one was bitten. A
little daughter of Douglas Megargell
narrowly escaped the teeth of the
vicious animal. AT the lower end of
town the dog was shot by Jesse Freas.
A general slaughter of the dogs that
were bitten took place on Saturday
Among the lot were some valuable
animals belonging to H, B. Low, NJ.
A. Williams, Postmaster John Knorr,
and Others. The dog was no doubt
mad, and came down the w. & w.
railroad track, from the direction of
Rohrsburg.
If somebody would turn such dog
as that loose on the streets of Blooms.
burg about once day, which would
bite fourteen dogs every day, for a
few weeks, thus requiring them to be
slaughtered by the owners, it would
result in reducing the number of
worthless ours that are nuisances TO
the community, and would be pub.

safe to try to exterminate them in
that way.

Missionary Extension is an evan
gelistic movement along missionary
lines, which is being introduced by the
Christian Endeavor societies through.
out the country, and bears the seal of
divine approval. "lt has spread with
a rapidity and volume absolutely phe-
nomenal. Never In the history of the
Christian Church has there been
such missionary uprising as we have
before us to day. Cities by the hun
dreds are leaguing together in courses
of mass meetings for Missionary
Extension. While this movement is
under the auspices Of the Christian
Endeavor Institute of Chicago, us,
ing Endeavor machinery, it is dis
tinctively in the interest of denomi-
national missions. The mass meet
ings are popular gatherings for every
body, and the earnest cooperation is
invited Of every organization interest
ed in the advancement of the king
dom of Christ by the denominational
board Of city, home, and foreign
missions
The C. E. Societies of Bloomsburg,
in preparation for the first lecture in
their course, held union prayer-meet-
ing In the Presbyterian Church last
Sunday evening. DR.. Graydon led
in the singing and Miss Mary Lowe
conducted the prayer-meeting. On
account of the severe storm the attend
ance was not so large as had been
expected, but there was a very fair
representation from the different
societies, and the reports they gave ol
the foreign missionary work that their
respective Church Boards are doing
were interesting and encouraging.
The Christian Endeavor societies
of Bloomsburg have been SO fortunate
as to secure for the first speaker ir
their course of lectures Rev. DR.
Thomas Marshall of Chicago, who
will lecture in the Lutheran Church
next Friday evening. The service:
will begin at fifteen minutes before
eight o'clock. Special arrangements
have been made for music and a
meeting of rare interest and profit is
promised, to which all are cordially
invited. DR.. Marshall is highly rec
commended as an eloquent and able
speaker. During the past two years
by arrangement Of the c. f. Loca
Unions, he has addressed mass meet
ings in many of the most prominen
cities between Chicago and New Yorl
City. Only by a very favorable combina
ton of circumstances was the Local
Union of Bloomsburg enabled to Sc
cure him, and we bespeak for him a
crowded house.
