THE HEROIC DEAD.
Decoration Day and its Solemn Ceremo
nice In Philadelphia.
This is Decoration Day, and every preen
mound and marble shaft that marks a hero's
resting place will be decked with refreshing
flowers emblematic of the tender lore and
gratitude of the people whose safety, prosperity,
and peace were secured through their patriotic
efforts. The custom of decking the graves
extends to every spot where a soldier is buried,
and there is mourn'ul satisfaction in seeing the
people thus formally set aside a time to do
honor to the memory of the heroic dead.
In this city it has always been the delight of
the citizens to remember the sacrifices, the self
denial, and the bravery of the soldiers of the
Union, and the ceremonies of decorating the
graves are always witnessed by great multitudes
of people. The arrangements for the solemni
ties of this day are very complete. They were
undertaken by the Grand Army of the Republic.

A Country Burglar Captured. Oa Sun
day night iast the country store of J. S. Hop
kins, at Oxford, Chester county, was entered by
burglars and robbed of various articles, in all
valued at 200. The thief or thieves backed
them up in a trunk, and left. Mr. Hopkins
started for this city yesterday morning, having
in his mind's eye a fellow who was lurking
about there, and who, everybody thought, was
after nothing good. Mr. Hopkins was success
ful in tracing: the trunk and the tniet to the beer
saloon of J. Zimmerman, at Twentieth street
and Washington avenue. It appears that they
each had arrived on the same train. The burg
lar was afterwards arrested at Twenty-third and

Hopkins. The prisoner gave the name of John

The Stort of a Missing Taper Parcel.
An Irishman who was about to go to Wilming
ton in the boat from Arch street wharf, thought
be would take a drink before the vessel started,
and he immediately carried the intention into
effect. He laid down on the side of the wharf
a bundle until he returned, but when he got
back the bundle was missing. There was a well-
dressed young gentleman standing near by with
a carpet-bag in his hand. The loser of the
bundle had noticed previously that the bag was
empty, but now it was full. The inference was
that the well-dressed Etranger had stuffed the
bundle in the carpet-bag, and such proved to be
the case. The man was seized and the bundle
recovered. Tending the confusion of the dis
covery and the search for an officer, the fellow
managed to escape.
A Stabbing Affray. Colbert Patrick, a

the abdomen, mulcting a serious 11 not latai
wound. The ouarrel took place in the residence
of Skank. in Granite place, at the rear of No.
829 Carpenter street. The assailant was arrested,
and has been held to await the issue of the in-
Iuries of the wounded man, who is now in the
'ennsylvanla Hospital.
Bar-room liouons. A party of men last
night went into a tavern at Front and Cumber
land streets and ordered eight drinks of beer and
a couple of cigars, and then refused to pay. The

tains no mineral poison and no violent
drug of any kind; henoe it cannot possibly
injure the system. Its healing effects on
the lungs are meat remarkable; it permeates
those organs and carries its salutary in.

of all maladies, as many persons of the high
est respectability who have experieneed its
benefits can testify. Nomeroms certificates
to this effect, and full directions In English,
