The New York Journal says but one
protest was raised against the erection OF
the Confederate monument in Mount
Hope Cemetery, New York, and that was
by Cromwell Post, G. A. r., of White
Plains. The only reference to it at the
unwilling was by Hon. VIM. L. Wilson,
who said:
.Cankered indeed must be the heart
that begrudges to the Confederate veter-
ems of New York City or the South the
honors and tributes that they are able to
pay the memory of their dead comrades. I"
The Journal said:
Professor Wilson closed eloquently,
and great cheer arose as Mr.. Rouss was
led to the monument, upon which he laid
hand tenderly. standing moment with
bowed head. ("

Mr.. Vim. R. Percy, leading land
owner and capitalist of Allegheny coun-
w Md. was drowned in the c. & o.
Canal. near oidtown, ten miles below
Cumberland, Wednesday night. Mr..
Percy had extensive interests in the
Millville and Shenandoah Milling Com
pany's mills in this county, and was well
known here. An account of the drown
ing says:
On Wednesday evening Mrs. Bateman,
wife of the manager of Mr.. Percy's farm,
which he was visiting, went to oldtown
in spring wagon driven by Mr. Bate
mans son, about twenty years of age.
who is somewhat lame Miss Hutson was
also in the wagon. Mr.. Percy accom-
panied the party, riding on horseback be-
hind the wagon. On the return trip 1t
was dark. About 10 o'clock the party
came to a point opposite the mansion
house, where the road leaves the tow path.
Here Mr.. Percy's horse went too near the
canal, struck soft ground, foundered and
went down to the edge of the water
He chung to the side of the bank for
a few steps and then went IN. MI
Percy was thrown from the saddle by the
efforts the horse made to recover the
ground AT this point the canal is mar
row and the current swift, although the
water is not more than FIVE feet deep.
Mr.. Percy cried: "Ohi Save me, save
me-" as he went under the water. The
lame boy and Mrs. Batenan got out of
the wagon and the boy waded into the
water, while his stepmother held to his
coat to keep him from slipping. He
reached as far as he could, but not far
enough to save the drowning man. Mr.
Percy disappeared in the darkness, and
when his body was found by Mr. Bate
man and A. Alkire, an employee on the
farm, it had been carried fifty yards
down the stream. His watch had stop
ped at exactly 1915 o'clock. The horse
swan ashore few yards below where he
went in.
Mr.. Percy was interested in the gen
eral stores of c. Wade & Co. and B.

rey Company, Cumberland. Hewas the

and thirty-five thousand dollars, all the
policies having been taken outwithin the
past few years. Only recently he took
out policy for thirty-fve thousand dol

Mr. James a. Shirley, eldest son of the late
Walter Shirley, died Tuesday night at his
| residence five miles northwest of this place,
after lingering illness from consumption.
The funeral occurred at the Episcopal
Church in Middleway on Thursday at three
o'clock, Rev. A. J. Willis, officiating The
deceased leaves wife and two children to
revere the memory of thoughtful and de-
voted husband and father, and wide circle
of friends who mourn with the bereaved,
in this their great loss, will cherish the re-
collection of kind and obliging neighbor, a
sincere and loyal friend, and a courteous
and considerable associate. When death is
swallowed up in victory, the poignancy of
grief is blunted by the assurances of the
sweet conviction, born of faith and hope,
that our loved ones have simply crossed the
river and in little while families will be
reunited to part no more. We measure time
'by the tears that dow," but in the Beyond,
where there are no tears, the sunlight of per
petual smiles, crowd years into the space of
day, and ere the shadows grow to full
length-ere the evening sets in, mortality is
memory and eternity fruition in the re-
uniting of separated families.-Advocate.

A SONG To DIXIE.
Air. Annie Laurie. I"

Oh ! Dixie's homes are bonnie,
And Dixie's heurts are true;
and twas down in dear old Dixie
Our life's first breath we drew;
Our life's first breath we drew,
And there our last we'd sigh,
And for Dixie, dear old Dixie,
Wen lay us down and die.
No fairer land than Dixie's
Has ever seen the light;
No drawer boys than Dixie's
To stand for Dixie's right;
To stand for Dixie's right,
With hearts SO true and high.
Aud for Dixie, dear old Dixie,
To lay them down and die.
No more upon the mountain,
No longer by the shore,
The trumpet-song of Dixie
Shall shake the world no more,
For Dixie's songs are DER,
Her glory gone on high,
And the brave who blcd for Dixie
Have laid them down to die.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired out nervous system to a healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters This medicine
is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone to
the nerve centres in the stomach, gently
stimulates the Liver and Kidneys, and
aids these organs in throwing off impuri-
ties in the blood. Electric Bitters i'm
proves the appetite, aids digestion, and is
pronounced by those who have tried it as
the very best blood purifier and nerve
tonic. Try it. Sold for soc. and $40

The determination of the forgery case on,
one of the w. B. Page notes, against Messrs.
r. o. Allen and n. II. Willis last week was
upon a point of law, and not upon the ques-
ton of the genuineness of the signatures.
The note upon which the suit was brought,
was genuine note, and was protested, and
was subsequently renewed with forged en-
dorsements Hence the court held that the
endorses upon the genuine note were held
bound by the protest, from which subsequent
forgery did not relieve them.-Advocate.

BY FRANK L. STANTON.
Twas the day after Christmas, when all
through the place,
The folks they went pitylng his desperate
case;
For the doctor had called with counten-
ance sad,
And said that he had emf any one
had.
All, me, and oh, for his head,
And the moving manageries fronting his
bed!
The monkey galoOtS
And the snakes in his boots
As they painted the room in beautiful
Twas the day after Christmas-the wealth
er was cold,
But he wanted more ice than his dwelling
could hold;
And the doctor prescribed. with glance
that was grave,
An ocean of iceberg his temples to lave .
All, me. and oh, for his head
And the elephants playing leap-frog on
his bed!
And the owls with their hOOtS,
A nd the snakes in his boots
Twas the day after Christmas-that' just
what l said.
