Memorial Fifty-six years ago the war of the rebellion of the South against the North came to an end with the surren- der of Lee’s army at Appomattox. The fratricidal strife continued for four years and it was the greatest war in history up to that time. Almost three-score years have passed since then and the horrors of that war have been eclipsed by one of such magni- tude that the Civil war almost dwin- dles into insignificance, but those of the men who marched forth to battle at that time, still living today, never falter in their devotion to the com- rades who have passed away, but each year wend their way to the silent cem- eteries and strew flowers on the graves of those who have gone before. But the old soldiers are passing away and their ranks are growing pitiful- ly small. During the past year six Civil war veterans in Bellefonte have. answered the long roll. Time was, not so many years ago, when Gregg Post marshalled almost a company strong on Memorial day. On Monday just sixteen old veterans were in line. The parade formed in the Diamond promptly at 1:30 o’clock and moved as the town clock struck two. John J. Bower Esq., was chief marshall and the parade as made up included Troop L, Capt. W. Frederick Reynolds in command; the I. 0. O. F. band of Bellefonte; upwards of five hundred sehool children, members of the G. A. R., six Spanish-American war veter- “ans, the American Legion, forty-eight strong, including both soldiers and sailors, the P. 0. S. of A; Knights of | the Golden Eagle Commandery and the Logan fire company. . Commander S. B. Miller had charge of the exercises at the cemetery and at the conclusion of the G. A. R. ritu- al introduced Samuel Hare Esq., of Al- toona, who made the Memorial ad- dress. An incident of the day was the placing of special wreaths by mem- bers of the American Legion on the graves of John Cunningham, Richard Corman, Joseph Anderson, Joseph Morrison and Ira Wolfe. Details from Gregg Post went to Shiloh and the Meyers cemetery last Sunday and decorated the graves of soldiers buried in those places and the coming Sunday members of the Post will leave the Post rooms at 9 a. m,, for Snydertown where services will be held at 10 o'clock. Returning in the afternoon services will be held at Hublersburg at 2 o'clock and at Zion at 4 o'clock. Members of the Post acknowledge with sincere thanks contributions of flowers for Memorial day from the following persons: < Paul Luts Peter Meek ce Luts George Meek £5. Knisely Mrs. E. L.

Wian, on east High street, Bellefonte, as the result of injuries sustained almost a year ago. Readers of the “Watchman” doubtless recall the fact that on June 28th, 1920, a heavy barn door fell up- on Mrs. Miller at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. T. Noll, at Pleasant Gap, breaking her ankle and otherwise injuring her. Asa result of the acci- dent she spent a number of weeks in the Bellefonte hospital, later being re- moved to the home of her daughter, Mrs. Wian.

H. A. Surface, of Susquehanna Uni- veristy, formerly economic zoologist in the State Department of Agricul- ture, has always ridiculed the idea of there being such reptiles as hoop- snakes, horned snakes, etc., but if he wants to get into an argument he should visit Bellefonte now. The Ga- zette last week published a story about week by Elias Breon, of Axe Mann, and offered to prove it with the horns. Among those who read the story was Elmer C. Straub, better known to his many friends as “Waxey,” who avers that the reptiles in question are what is familiarly known as stone copper- heads. In fact “Waxey” claimed to having had an intimate acquaintance with them when he farmed the old Alexander farm along the mountain where, he said, they were so plentiful that he had bushels of the “horns” taken from the snakes he had killed. He probably used the horns as husk- ing pegs and various other things around the farm. In discussing the horned snakes a well known Bellefonte physician, re- called the fact that once upon a time he saw a snake that apparently had two horns, one sticking out on each side of its head, and he was so impressed with the queer looking specimen that he got as close to the reptile as possible to make sure his eyes were not playing fantastic tricks, and then he discov- ered that the snake was in the act of swallowing a frog and what he had at first believed to be horns were the frogs legs sticking out of the snake's mouth, one on each side. . But speaking of snakes, George Mil- ler, of Bush’s Addition, states that last week he discovered something was eating his strawberries and naturally he blamed it on the birds, as only the ripest side of the berry would be tak- en. But watch as close as he could he failed to see any birds in his straw- berry patch. On Saturday he under- took to gather the ripe berries in his patch and then he discovered that the berry thief was a copperhead snake, and the snake so resented Mr. Miller’s intrusion into the patch that it showed battle and when he finally got the rake to kill it it put up a good fight but was finally dispatched, and now he antici- pates no more stealing of his berries. — Some unknown miscreant visit- ed the home of Mrs. A. C. Coldren, near Pleasant Gap last Thursday ! night and stole all | plants from her hotbed. her best tomato Sunday School Convention at Miles- burg Next Week.
