Today (Friday) the ceremony of strew
lrtr flwcis upon the ttrnvos of ths heroes
v.'Uo in the lata war
'Punk rest.
' f all their country's wishes blest,"
"vill be observed throughout tlie eutire
North. Tbis is k tolling demonstration of
affliction aud honor to the brave soldiers
whotj eaeri flees caoDot be overestimated,
and vrho perished In the loyal uniform.
Over throe hundred thousand lives were
given In defence of tho nation that we
might have a purer and freor government.
With but few exceptions the fallen heroes
were volunteers of the army young men
who fi.rsook for the lovo of their country,
tbs comforts of peace, the enjoyment of
plentiful hom4, the endearment of do
mestic life, and endured the hard discipline
of military training In thee Jap, the fatigue
and exposure n forced marches over al
most Impassable roads, the pangs Of hun
ger and thirst, the keen biliugs of the win
ter's winds and snowa, and tho fierce smit
lngs of the summer sun. They were ex
posed to disoasa, yet tiu-y battled on, giv
ing their heart's blood that their country
might live. In their struggle for the na-
, tion's life came wouuds in all their hideous
forms, and fan from home, under friendly
trees, In hovels or In hospitnls, ministered i
to by rude hands if by kind hearts, many !
hid farewell, and their livt's went out. On j
the battle-field thousands full ungnlhered,
whose enert'd remains awult tho resurrec
tion morn. Tluse, though unhonorcd by
funeral memorials, nre hot forgotten, and
. they Cnd in the hearts of u greatful people,
cuonurueuts mora pleasing than those of
gmnite or brass.
The graves of the patriot dead among us,
are loyal legacies worthy of our highest ho
. nor nud affection. In adorning them we
show our respect for their memories, and
prntitude for their services, and renew our
vows of fidelity to the common couutry
they died for. Tho ceremony should be no
mere parade, and nuaningloss rile. It
stijcld bo performed solemnly feelingly
and religiously. No rude trampling
through the sacred resting places of the
dead, breaking the almost holy silence that
broods over the tombs of our relatives and
friends with uncouth and ribald utteran
ces. The flowers Btrcwnupon the graves of our
dead soldiers soon lose their fragranco and
perish. It has been suggested to plant
flowers at the graves that the adornment
may bo more lusting after tho observance
oeascs, which suggestion we give our hear-1
ty commendation. Cut wo are not satis
lied with these floral gifts. Our departed
heroes and martyrs deserve higher aud
more enduring memorials, such as' will
bold their names and memories fresh for
tho admiration of the generations that will
follow us. When all the actors in tho
fearful tragedy have panned nna, nlicu
uiiiy history and tradition shall keep alive
the deeds of tho great war, how fondly
would posterity do homage to the names of
the men; officers and privates. Let every
citizen then, as thoy take part in to-day's
services, remember that they owe the dead
soldiers of Northumberland county a befit
ting monument. A monument is now be
ing erected at tho county seat, Suubury, iu
memory of all tho heroes from tho county
who fell in the service of their couutry.
The foundation for this memorial struc
ture, is now beiug laid, upon which the
monument is to be erected during the coin
ing season. We appeal, therefore in be
half of the heroes la w hose memory tho
monument is to be erected, to remember
that they owe a liberal contribution to-
wards its completion. Remember too,
that through the lack of funds, the struc
ture cannct be linished, and that your
friends are left without that rccoguitlon to
which they are so richly entitled.
When Geo. Grant left his business at
Washington to attend Greeley's funeral,
he Democratic papers found fault with him
for doing so, and now they are also fiuding
fiult becauso he did jioi go to Now York
Uvattond Chase's funeral. Similarly, wheu
the news- came that the United States
OoinrCiistionurs tc tho Vicuna Expotitiou
lad bten doing w rong, these papers abused
Grant without stint for having appointed
Van Buren as Chief of the Commission ;
and now they are peltiug away at him be
ettose be has removed Van Uurcn. Thry
ara vary hard to suit.
CANDIDATES.--In another twirt rf thial
paper will be found the cards of several
gentlemen ofluring to be candidates for
county offlcis. It is gratifying to sec that
w are again coming back to the good old
times when honorublo aud qualified men
are wUling to servo the poople in official
stations. The candidates of tho Republi
can side of the bouse whose uaiues are an
nounced, we kuow aro unobjectionable,,
and if uomioatcd and elected, we feel as
sured that our county affairs will be con
ducted in sucb a manner as to bear the
strietcst scrutiny.
JcsnCE iu the State of Delaware is not
ooly revolting but brutal. A fow weeks
ago a young woman was convicted of mur
der In the tocoud degree at New Castle,
she having killed hor iufant under circum
stances that awakened sympathy and pity
for Ler. She was scnttnoed to stand in
the pillory for one hour, to receive sixty
lashes on the bare back at the public whip
ping poet, and then bo imprisoned for life.
There is something so intensely revolting
in the Idea of lacerating and torturing a
hitman being before imprisoning lor life,
that one tan scarcely conoeive bow a judge
with a- human heart in hi bosom could
pronouace sucb a sentence and upon a
woman at that. Surely Delaware ueods
some influence to redeem hex from such
disgrace to the country, such a blot upon
American civilisation.

Tub Situation ik Francs. -There
has been a complete overturn In France,
Thierf is oo longer President of the French
Republic. Contrary to expectation ho was
defeated In tho national assembly on a de
maud for an explanation as to the chracter
and purposes of his reconstructed Cabinet;
and this was followed by a tqunro voto of
a want of confidence in his administration.
Ills Minister! of course resigned in a body,
and wvro at once followed by the President.
On the reassembling of the Assembly on
the 19th, tbo republicans had a majority of
seven in reorganizing, and they boasted
that this would be Increased to 20 in a
solid vote of confidence. But a majority
of 14 against them told a different story.
Marshal McUahon was thereupon electod
President. th republicans refusing to vote,
lie accepted the position without hesita
tion, and promised to obey the voice of the
National Assembly. Having tho army at
his back, he will doubtless obey it if he can
liithe eventual establishment of u mon
archy, in tho interests probably of the
Bouapartca, of whom he Is an ardent sup
porter. They only hope for the republic is
in the devldcd councils of the monarchists.
There was considerable excitement in
Versailles and Paris, but there was no ac
tual disturbance, tiambctta advised mo
deration and order. What upshot will bo
immediately it is impossible to foretell ;
but that the change will eventuato in a
Monarchy or a revolution, can scarcely be
questioned. Tho National Assembly will
not dissolve whilu the people are overwhelm
ingly for a republic. This, nothing but a
revolution can decide, and the decision will
rest on the army.
Tun Mincrsville Republican notes the
growing scarcity of timber for mine use in
the Schuylkill- coal region. Tho trees fit
for tho purpose have all bean cleared away
from the vicinity of the mines, and timber
now has to be hauled many miles over a
rough country. The Republican concludes:
This is a matter of no little Importance to
our region, and is one which should receive
due consideration from those en paged in
the production of coal. It admonishes us
that a judicious use of mining timber must
he made or we must soon be at the mercy
of another monopoly that of timber for
mining purposes.

The Philadelphia I'vllie Record says ;
The constitutional convention, yesterday,
after devoting some time to tho agreeable
performance of fixing the salary of its mem
bers at $2,500 and mileage, voted down all
amendments to the provisions of tho exist
ing constitution in regard to tho press.
That this course will meet with ucar'y un
iversal condemnation from the newspapers
of the State can scarcely bo doubted ; and
if there is to be a struggle in regard to the
acceptance of tbo uew constitution, it will
go far to insure the defeat of that instru
ment. The convention cannot easily com
mit a more fatal blunder than persistence
iu a refusal to throw around the news
papers of Pennsylvania the protecting
shields which have bceu readity created in
other commonwealths ; for the failuro to
discharge so plain a duly affords a most
discouraging iudicatiou of its capacity or
disposition to perforin more intricate tasks.

AN attempt to dispossess the Philadel
phia & Reading Coal & Iron Co. of their
coal lands In tbis region, created consider
able excitement hereabouts during the past
week, Early in the month four men,
claiming to represent a party in New York
who allege they hold the original titlo to
the lands, carae on here and proceeded to
take possession or the property by crcting
two two-story house on the north slope of
the Locust Mountain, some three miles dis
tant from this place. By tbe 10th the
houses were up and would, doubtless', have
been occupied that night or tho day follow
ing, but they were burned down. ' Tbe
parties then had a ehadty-put up and hired
men to guard it. But they failed to hold
possession. On the 14lh the District Land
Agent of the Co., Copt, II. Van Gasken,
had two of the men arretted. and on the day
following theentlre party was arrested, and
held in bail of $550. each for appearance at
Court. In turn, the parties had the agent
arrested. He, of course, gave bail and was
released. In the mean time he employed a
force sufficient to guard all tho land cm
braced iu his district. The shanty was de
stroyed on Thursday afternoon, since which
time, as far as we can learn, no effort has
been made on, the part of the New York
party to gain possession. At the timo of
going to press (Wednesday) the company's
men are still on duty.
The , general opinion hero in regard to
tho matter is that it is a mere speculation
on the part of the New York parlies. . Tbo
land is wottb some $20,000,000. Shamokvi

The Scranton Republican says : Tbo

suggestion of the Harrisburg I'ulriot that
"President Grant could do no more grace

President to vacate the Executive chair
and ask Jefferson Davis to occupy it 1

Colonel Sumner. Colonel Gillem, Coiouel

Adams, with their escort, were en route to
Van Bremer's having left the Lava Beds
about 10 o'clock in the morning, a courier

General Davis determined upon Fuirchild's
ranche, lustcad of Van Bremer's, for his
luture headquarters. Captaiu Hasbrouck
left Boyle's camp May 7th, and has boon
scouting ever since. The men scaled a
ridge twenty-live feet high, in the face of
the Madoces, and drove them back. Cap
taiu Jackson led the right and Lieutenant
Boutclle and Kyle held tbe other bold posi
tions. Captian Hasbrouck has not lost a
man since the Dry Lake engagement.
Artena, Chokus,Longlcgs, One Eyed Dixie
and two Modoc residents of this ranche,
last evening entertained the five women
captured by Captain Hasbrouck's com
maded, and from tbem gleaned interesting
accounts of the Modoc operatious during the
last few months. The captives are Mrs.
Wachmetel, Boston Chaley's two sisters,
the mother of Black Jim, aud oue maiden
whose relatives have attained no notable
distinction. They report that Shacknasty
Frank, Shacknasty Jake, Shacknasty Bill,
Steamboat Frank, Ellensman, Hooker
Jim's father, Boston Nick, and several
other Modocs have been killed aud many
wounded. Curly-healed Jack carried a
piece of lead iu his body several days, and
when last seen was apparently hooked for
the happy hunting grounds. The iuabiltty
of Little John to travel at a rapid pace de
layed tbe band. Capt. Hasbrouck en
countered and got the Modocs iuto this
last difficulty. The account of tho cause
of disaffection among the Modocs after the
buttle is interesting. Capt. Jack consulted
a stolen chronometer, and after sundry
gestures and exclamations, informed bis
followers that they would shed rilla bullets
as a duck docs water, and escapt unharm
ed. The contidenco this statement inspir
ed, was rapidly dispelled by Capt. Has
brouck's encounter, when several Modoc
were kilted, and others wounded.
Indignation reigned supreme iu Jack's
household.
The Cottonwood branch of the tribe from
Faircbild's decided that they would light
no more. This resolution led to Jack's
clandestine departure. The Cotton woods
numbering twenty warriors and fifty wo
men aud children hurried to the Snow
mountaius, at the southern end f lava
Deposit, preparatory to traveliug to the
Yaiuox reservation and imploring pardon
fiom the great father at WashingUm. The
sudden adyeut of Hasbrouck's cavalry and
Warm pring ludians disturbed their peace
ful meditations, and caused them to run or
fight.
During tbo stampede Mrs. Hendricks
alias Simpey, threw her six month' old
iufunt to llio ground, hop or escaping, but
was soou afterwards killed by a Warm
Spring warrior. The babe was brought
hither ami lurued over to a suu.iw. Arte
na also, luaruod from the Modoo women,
that the Cottouwood Indians earnestly de
sired an action looking to the restoration
of peaco, and would yield to tho soldiers if
opportuuity were ofl'ered them.
About this timo the Warm Spring Indi
ans who were outside interviewing, tiie
apartmcut commencing siuging one of their
national melodies, and drawing - their
kuives across their mocasius which caused
uneasiness among the squaws, and termi
nated the consultation.
Captain Hasbrouck said he was willing
to have tbe Modocs surrender, and would
afford them every facility for so doiug.
Artena, Chokus aud Dixie, who have hith
erto been of great service to the govern
ment, caught the idea immediately, and
wanted to be employed as emissaries. They
were provided with burses aud sunt after
the Modocs. They started on their mission
early this morning.

- After deliberate consideration they con

by tho Coal and Iron Company have beon
so posted for tho purpose of forcing tbe

as they do so that it will be tho cnuso of
keeping many of us from our homes thir
teen hours per day. After the review of
the coal trade they thought it a very un
favorable time. to resist the above rules, it
placing them iu a wrong position before tbe
public. With between six thousand and
seven thousand cars standing loaded, It
would relievo tho compnny of the odium
of stoppiug themselves ; therefore it was

That Favorite Home Rrmedy,
PAIN.UILLEU,
Has been before the public over TRiETY
years, and probably has a wider and bet
ter reputation than any other proprietary
medicine of the present day. At this
period there are but few uuacquainbed with
the merits of the Fain-Killkr ; but while
some extol it as a liniment, they know but
little of its power in easing pain when taken
internally ; while others use it internally
with great success, but are equally igno
rant of its healing virtues when applied
externally. We therefore wish to- sajr to
all, tbat it is equally successful, whether
used internally or eternally. It la sufficient
evidence of its virtues as a standard medi-
. cine to know that it isuow used in all parts
of the world, and that its tale is constantly
increasing. No curative agent has had
such a wide spread sale or given such uni
versal satisfaction, ; . ?
Davis" Pa nt-K illeh Is a purely vege
table compound,' perpared from the best
purest materials, and with a care that in
sures tha most perfect uniformity in the
medicine ; and while It Is a most effective
remedy for pain, It Is a perfectly safe medi
cine ; and while it is a most effective re
medy for pain, It ia a perfectly safe medi
cine, even In tbe most unskilful hands.
It ia eminently a Family Medicine ;
and by being kept ready for immediate re
tort, will save many an hour of sqflerlng
and many a dollar in time and doctor 1
bills. -
After over thirty years trial, it is still re
ceiving the most unqualified testimonials
to its virtues, from persona of tbe highest
character and responsibility! Eminent
Physicians commend it as a moat effectual
preparation for tbe extinction of pain. It
Is not only the best remedy ever known for
Bruises, Cat, Burns, Ac., but for Dysen
tery, or Choleras or any sort of bowel com
plaint, it is a remedy unsurpassed for effi
ciency, and rapidity of action. In the great
cities of India, and other hot climates, it
has become the standard medicine for all
such complaints, as well as for Dyspepsia,
Liver Complaints, and all other kindred
disorders. For Coughs and Colds, Canker,
Asthma, and Rheumatic difficulties, it hat
been proved by the most abundant and
convincing testimony to be an invaluable
raedeicino. .
We would caution the public against all
imitations of our preparation, either In
name, or style of putting up.
