"Bantam" Miller of tho Democrat
in his last issue sends out a doleful
whine and says we have gone and done
and pinched him, boo-hoo-hoo. So you
don't like your own medicine Miller, for
a long time we bave put up with your
ridicule and abuse, hoping you would
get tired of it, but uo, you return to it
'like a dog to bis vomit,"your "harmless
pleasantries" consisting simply of abuse
let us quote a f'ew,"Beast" "swill barrel"
"fuzzy patted arbitrator" "hie haggard
look and unkempt hair" "feeding his
chickens and freeing them from lice,"
eto, etc. We might go on a column; your
idea of "harmless pleasantries" is very
comical and you don't seem to relish
ours. Your statement that we "have
hired someone to. "write you down" is
simply false, we paddle our own canoe ,
and if you keep up your abuse we bhall
seize bold of any material that we can
get against you, besides, only let you
alone and you will "write yourself
down." Now if you want these "harm
less pleasantries" stopped, stop them
first yourself.
The Last Sites.
Tbe stranger in Smethport on Sun
day last would have known that au
bouored citizen of the place had passnd
away. The largest concourse of people
that we have ever seen together on a
similar occasion filled the Couvt House
to overflowing to pay a fitting tribute of
respect to the memory ot a good man
and respected citizen, onerin im.
Powell. The funeral services were ad
vertised to take plnco at 101 A. M., but
were necessarily delayed to await the
coming of Mr. Jerome Powell sr., of
Ridgway, who bad been unable to reach
here before because of the sad necessity
of attending tho funeral of another
brother in White Plains, N. Y., who
died in Dearly the same way that did
the Sheriff. A large delegation ot
citizens of Kane, the former residence
of the deceased, were present, as well as
neitly every citizen of Smethport and
minv other sympathising friends, and at
half past eleven the entire seating ca
pacity of the Court llouso was filled
the crowd being to large to be accom
modated in any one of the churches, A
more solemn and impressive service we
never attended. Itev. S. D. Morris,
preached the funeral discourse, and it
was one of his most 'eloquent efloits.
He chose his text from the seventh
chapter of Ecclesiastics the 1st and 2ud
verses. The text was very appropriate
to the death of a good man, and so im
pressively and effectively was the lesson
brought out that there was scarcely a
dry eye in the house during the entire
service. Beautilul and appropriate
music was furnished by a select choir of
the following person?.- Soprano Mrs.
Henry Hamlin, Mrs. J. C. Hamlin, and
Miss Mollie Ilamliu; Alto, Mrs. Geo.
Thetge; Tenor, Dr. II. L. McCoy: Bass
L. Rogers, Chas. Walters, and Mr.
Wheeler. After the servico an oppor
tunity was given to take a last look at
the deceased, which was gladly accep
ted by the entire audience. The ser
vices at the grave were brief and affect
iug consisting of a solemnaand impres
sive chant by the choir and closing with
au earnest prayer. Thus were con
signed to tbe grave tho remains of one
whose memory will be held honorable
by all who knew him. McKean Miner.

Kenuer an honest anu a perfect nian,
Commands all light, all influence all fate;
Nothing to him falls earley or too lute.

"Bantam" in (ho last issue of the
Democrat in a long article under the
caption of "A Contemptible Warel'are"
igmattzea the editor of this sheet a
liar and, with an effort which nearly
killed the diminutive cuss he rises to ex
plain; ho proves that it is a virtuous
act to go into bankruptcy and pay forty,
three cents on a dollar instead of four
teen as the aforesaid lyintr editor inti
mated. We are happy to make tho
corection and unite with the multitude
in proclaiming "Bantam" an oruauieut
to any poultry show.
Says the Chester Pa., Evening News:
"Ooe of the curses of the country id
the game of policy. Were a person to
come iuto possession of tbe uumber of
peoph who pour their earnings into
such places and the amount of money
thus, spent, he could not refrain from
experiencing the deepest surprise. Then
it he could witness tbe uutold uiissery
and degradatiou of the poor blind su
perstitious follows, his soul would
sicken within him. It is a urimo that
's kept io the dark, Its uuoagers
know too well that
in the light-"
it will not flourish
One of the latliugs of "Bantam" is
his utter incapacity to deoide between a
"harmless personality" and a downright
insult. When tbe shoe is put on the
other foot he at once sees the insult.
We hope the lesson be has learned
will be of lusting beuefit to the quarrel
iouie youth.
