CAVALRY GuidOns Returned After IS Years.


Tuesday, June 18th, Col. VIM. A.
Morgan, of ShepherdstOwn, met COM
mittee of the Sixth New York Volun-
teer Cavalry Regiment, consisting OF
Col. Easton, of Worcester, Mass,
Major Hewitt, of JOppa, Mo-, and Ma
jor Roston, of Boston, at Antietam
National Cemetery. The object of the
meeting was the return of two cavalry
guidons which Col. Morgan captured
from the Sixth New York at Todd's
Tavern about May l, 1868, in fierce
night engagement which occurred be-
tween the Sixth New York and the
First Virginia Cavalry.
Colonel Morgan substantially said (:
when I accepted Grants generous
terms at Appomattox, and laid down
my arms, I accepted them in the spirit
in which they were given, and | have
been true and loyal citizen ever since,
and long may the star-spangled ban
ner wave. Now, gentlemen, in return
ing to you these flags, which have
graced my walls for thirty-fve years,
I must say that l am performing
very sad but pleasant duty. No mem
Der of the Sixth New York could have
guarded these flags more sacredly or
carefully than I, and although now l
willingly and gladly return them to
their rightful owners, still feeling Of
sadness comes over me and l feel as
though I were parting with very dear
friends-household gods as it were.
Mrs. Getzendanner, daughter Of Col.
Morgan, then enrolled the flags. Tears
streamed down the cheeks of the Sixth
New York in accepting the flags, and
Col. Easton, while showing deep feel
ing, eloquently thanked Col. Morgan
for returning them, and said that he
received them in the same spirit as
rendered, and that he had made this
trip especially to meet Col. Morgan,
of whom his friend, Capt. Smith, of the
Fifteenth Massachusetts,, had said {:
"Easton, you will find Col. Morgan one
of Gods noblemen." Major Hewitt
also spoke feelingly and stated that
he had come all the way from Joppa,
Mo-, for this special occasion, and that
in conversation with the comrades of
Col. Morgan at Gettysburg they had
spoken of him with such kindness and
affection, and now he knew that he
merited it all and more, and that he
would ever consider this occasion an
epoch in his life. Major Roston also
spoke touchingly. In fact, all of the
Sixth New York were equal to the &C.
casion.
Col. Morgan had with him on this
occasion his old army canteen (cap-
tured at the first Manassas on which
is a record of the 1877 battles in which
he participated. 1t is needless to say
that the visitors were very much in
terested in this trophy" and doubly
so as it was filled with an old Rebels
delight, "applejack."

Gold Medal Contest.

The contest for the gold medal Of
fered by Miss Nellie Stowe Pentecost
to her class in elocution was he'd in
the town hall last Friday evening, and
the interesting programme was enjoyed
by large audience. There were ten
contestants, and several Of them were
SO exceptionally well rendered that it
must have been difficult to decide be-
tween them. The Judges were Rev.
G.. G. Everhart, Mrs. H. l.. Snyder
and Miss Ida Bruno, ard they decided
that Miss Lalla Reynolds was entitled
to the prize. Rev. Mr.. Everhart then
presented it to her with few appro-
pirate remarks, and the fair contest
ant received the medal amid much
applause. During the evening the
college glee club sang several songs
in their usual spirited manner, and
solos were rendered acceptably by Miss
Laura Butler and Miss Lutte Allstadt.
Miss Pentecost, the efficient instructor,
gave a couple of selections in her most
entertaining style, and was warmly
applauded. Miss Pentecost is not on
ly herself one of the best elocutionists
we have ever heard, but she is most
excellent instructor, as the good work
of her pupils conclusively showed.
We are glad to know that she expects
to return next year.

At Kossuth, Ohio, the other day
indignant citizens stripped a man,
coated him with axle grease and
hanged him up by the heels and
would not let him down until he had
cheered three times for Uncle Sam
and the stars and stripes. The cause
of his punishment was his saying that
if the United States and Germany got
into war he would go to Germany and
fight against America.

Fear of the Americans.

New YORK, June 16.-A special
from Key West says that Cuban Junta
advices from the headquarters of the
Cuban civil government at La Guannaja
report that more than 5000 Spanish
volunteers and many regulars from
Puerto Principe and Neuvi;as garrisons
have deserted TO the patriot army.
This discrtion is occasioncd 6y their
fea1 of the Americans whose repeated
victories and Obstructive commandments
have created almost u panic amongst
the Spanish Soldiers who feel that they
are penncd III and that their only hope
of salvation is in the surrender of the
island.
Santa Cruz has been invested by the
Cubans and communication by boat has
been established with Jamaica.
