watches of the night, the God of day throws
back his refulgence upon the stars and his
light is eternal, and so of a lite like that of
Governor Curtin. We bear his body to the
tomb to-day but we bury not his memory. We
bury not his achievements, his records, his
examples. They will remain with us, lae-
trous as the silver stars of the night that never
permit darkness to come upon the earth. And
so from generation to generation in Pennsyl-
vania will the memory of this man endure,
willthe love for him be perpetual, and as
those who come generation after generation to
hear the story of his greatness, of his devo-
tion, his liberality, his humanity toward all
mankind he will dwell in the sweet memories
of Pennsylvania and while the higher cliffs of
his mountain home shall stand sentinei
around his tomb, wherever there shall be the
altar and worshiper of free goverament, there
will be the lovers and worshipars of the mem-
ory of A. G. Curtin.”
J. M. Bailey Esq., of Huntingdon
aad Gen. J. P. S. Gobin, of Lebanon,
followed. All of the addresses teemed
with ecomiums that only heroes elicit.
The body was then borne into the
Court House and laid in state until 2
o'clock, when it was taken back to the
house for the private services.
The casket in which the remains re-
posed was of red cedar covered withblack
broadcloth, with oxydized handles ;
an exact model of the one in which Gen.
Grant was buried. Over the top was
draped the American flag and by the
side of the casket the many floral of-
ferings were arranged. The most
lavish of which were a beautiful palm de-
sign, from the Soldiers’ Orphan Sixteen:
ers Club of Penna. A large pillow of fern
and roses from the Masonic Fraternity,
of Bellefonte. A broken column by the
Centre county Bar Association. The
Grand Army of the Republic, Gregg
Post, of Bellefonte, a handsome floral
design of a G. A. R. badge draped. A
large pillow with cross design in the
centre, by the Blair county bank, of
Tyrone.
Also a large star with no card attach,
ed, and an ivy and rose wreath from the
Dept. Com. of the Loyal Legion of
Penna.
The placid features of the dead were
viewed by thousands, after the exercis-
es, while the great bell of the court
house tolled the solemn death knell.
At 2 o'clock the guard of honor ccn-
sisting of David Love, Jas. A. Green

Hewitt, J. C. P. Jones, Alfred Smith,

Henry McMullen, Hugh Shultz, D.
C. Walters,David McClellan, with John
C. Miller, Past Commander, in charge,
which had been in charge of the body
and stood guard over it while away
from the house, carried it back for the
last sad rites in the home which in life
it presided over.
These services were conducted by
Rev. Dr. Laurie, of the Presbyterian
church of this place, assisted by Rev.
Dr. T. H. Robinson of the Western
Theological Seminary, at Allegheny,
who was Gov. Curtin’s pastor during
his first term at Harrisburg, The min-
isters stood on the first landing of the
stairs and there Dr. Laurie read the
funeral sermon from the text :
“And the King eaid unto his servants,
know ye not that a prince and a great
man has fallen this day in lsrael.”
2 Sam. III, 38.
Dr. Robinson then made the closing
address and the service was concluded
with a prayer by Dr. Laurie. The
body was then given to the military
for burial.
THE IMPOSING FUNERAL CORTEGE.
Never before and never again will
Bellefonte witness such an imposing
spectacle, Hundreds of armed infant-
rymen, cavalrymen and artillerymen,
battle scarred veterans, distinguished

thousands of sorrowing townsmen fol-
lowed the remains to the Union ceme-
tery, where the simple burial service of
the Grand Army was carried out, the
casket was lowered intoa cement en"
ceased tomb that had been lined with
evergreen. The civilians then depart-
ed and the Guardsmen fired a parting
salute over the grave, while the cannon
boomed out a thundering farewell
to the dead. As the body was be-

INCIDENTS OF THE FUNERAL.
It is estimated that 4500 people view:
ed the remains during the time it was
in the Court House.
Messages of condolence were re-
ceived from many prominent men,
amoung them Gov. Robert E. Pattison,
and Gov. Roswell P. Flower, of New
York and Matthew Stanley Quay.
The late Goy. Curtin is said to have
been the only Congressman with
whom a president ever dined during
official residence in Washington.
It is estimated that 7000 visitors
were in town on Wednesday and had
the weather not been so threaten-
ing in the morning the crowd would
have been double that size.
A coincidence relating to the death
of Andrew Curtin is seen in the fight
that is going on over the license ques
tion in Potter county to-day. April
11th, 1866, Curtin signed the bill that
prohibited the sale of “wines, spiritous,
malt or brewed liquors within the
limits of Potter county.” The day of
bis burial the destroyers of the good
measure were still fighting against it.
Henry Mangus, a Philadelphia
sculptor and artist, was here to take a
plaster cast of the face of the dead
statesman, It will be used in the con-
struction of a suitable monument to his
memory.
His “will was entered for probate
yesterday. It bequeaths everything to
his widow and appoints his son Will.

EX-GOVERNOR CURTIN’S CAREER.
Andrew Gregg Curtin was born at
Bellefonte, Centre county, Pa., April
22, 1815.
Seventeen years before his birth his
father, Roland Curtin, settled in Belle-
fonte and began the manufacture of
iron. He was a pioneer in this great in-
dustry, which has now grown tosuch gi-
gantic proportions in this State. He is
said to have erected one of the first, if not
the first, iron furnaces built in Pennsyl-
vania. He emigrated from Ireland seven
years before settling in Bellefonte, and
brought with him to this country wealth
and a good education, obtained at the
French capital. His second wife was
the daughter of Andrew Gregg,
who served as United States Senator,
member of Congress, and Secretary of
State. So, in birth and advantages,
Governor Curtin was favored above the
lot of most men. He had every advan-
tage of education that the schools and
academies of Bellefonte afforded, and,
after a term of school at Harrisburg,
ended his academic education at Milton.
At the time of his graduation William
W. Potter who was afterwards in Con-
gress, was practising law in Bellefonte,
and with him young Curtin began the
study of the law. He finished with
Judge Reed, then one of the great at-
torneys of the State, after graduating
from the Law Department of Dickinson
College, at Carlisle. He was admitted
to the Bar in his native place, and be-
gan the practice of the law in 1837. He
at once took a leading position in his
profession, but was noted as an advocate
rather than as a close practitioner. His
powers as a speaker naturally turned
in 1844 made a canvass of the State for
Henry Clay.
him in the direction of politics, and
when only twenty-three years of age he
made a State reputation as an orator in
the campaign of “Tippecanoe and Ty-
ler too.” He was an ardent Whig, and
