Forks.
The T. O. S. of A., Jonestown had
a gala time on last Sabbath a. m.
When we arrived there from Forks
teams filled the bridge and surrounded
the church, and we knew there was a
large congregation in attendance. The
occasion was the delivery of a sermon
under the auspices of the P. O. S of
A- of Johnstown, who were there in
full regalia. The patriotic hymns sung
by some of the musical talent of this
section and by a full choir was excel
lent. The rags of stars along with
the banner of the Order were nicely
arranged around the pulpit and the
chandeliers. Rev. Mr. Rupley, pastor
of Lutheran Church, Catawissa,
preached the sermon that a nation
without God and without the recog
nition of God cannot survive a ser
mon that held the large audience at
tentively to the close. It was an able
vindication of our country's rights,
pointing out graphically the dangers

It's a remedy specially indicated for

that threaten it, and the necessity of
our vigilance and apprehension in re
gard to them. It was an elaborate,
able, eloquent sermon that made a
fine irnpiession upon his auditors,
leading them to reflection and serious
thought on the matter. No better
patriotism could be uttered from the
pulpit. The Rev. reflected a great
deal of credit upon the intelligence,

of thanks was given him.

Some one has taken us to task
about the old wooden bridge below
because wc erroneously held our super
visors responsible for negligence in
keeping it in repair. Well, perhaps
the bridye is a concomitant part of

condition, with the holes in the sides
of it large enough to run through.

GRIM FACTS ABOUT DEVOURERS OF
HUMAN FLESH.
The fact that there are cannibals by
race, tradition and profession at the
present day in India is established be
yond a doubt. It seems incredible
that in a large community like that of
Nassick or lienares the presence would
be tolerated of abandoned crea'ures
who haunt the burning-grounds with
the avowed purpose of snatching and
eating the half consumed fleh of th
dead if they be refused the alms they
impudently demand with threats of
vengeance.
Even more extraordinary is it to
know that one of them having seizei
one of three boys at play near one of
the temples of Nassick, lipped him
open and proceeded to eat him while
still living, was sentenced bv the Dis
tnct Court to only transportation lor
life.
The Aghoris are undoubtedly canni
bals. and a'lhouch they prefer carrion
and as a rule wait for its putrefaction
before attacking a body with their
teeth they unquestionably, when op
portunily oilers, slay tne young or
weak to make a horrible feast.'

EXTRACTS FROM THE SPEECH OF E.
BOWMAN AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
God raised up but one Christopher
Columbus to discover this land and
but one Washington to redeem it from
thralldom. We came in late to rank
among the nations of the earth. Nine
vah, Babylon and Jerusalem had long
since crumbled away. The temples,
colonnades and archways of Rome
and the sculptured monuments, mauso
leums and cenotaphs of Greece had
almost crumbled into dust. Spain,
Germany, Prance, Italy and England
were hoary with age when God stretch
ed out his hand and led Columbus
across the world of waters to these
emerald shores. Dut God is always
on time j never behind time, and we
came when we were needed. He had
raised up great nations which vanish
ed into night like phantoms across our
pathway of life only to give room for
America that emerged out of the
darkness of ages holding in her hands
the torch of liberty and wearing upon
her brow a crown of blessings.
We pass the sufferings of our Pil
grim Fathers, Colonies were formed
and they became a Confederation, and
tlien came the war ot the Revolution
when our liberties were obtained and
established. The Continental Con
gress was the greatest body of sages
that ever assembled, chief among
whom were Washington, Franklin and
efferson. Their names are wntten
upon tne hearts ot their posterity.
Brass and marble will crumble and
corrode, nationalities will rise and sink
like bubbles upon the ocean wave, but
these names will endure till the st3rs
grow grey with ase.
The war with Mexico came after
the war of 181 2 in which we gained
the empire of 'lexas. We come now
to the gigantic war of the Rebellion
What was the sacrifice to preserve the
Union and the Republic? Heroes
everywhere, crippled and grey, and
tottering with infirmity and age in the
prime of life 1 They left homes
wives and children, and property,
every hallowed association and sallied
forth to danger and death that their
country might live. The nobility of
Europe arc proud of their ancestry
and their escutcheons, but, comrades,
the scars you wear upon your bodies
received upon the field of carnage, are
far brighter than the escutcheons of
kings and princes. Your limbs lost
on the field of strife are trophies of
your valor and victory brighter than
those that adorned the triumphal
marches of a Cresar, a Scipio, or a
Marius.
We speak of heroes dead as well as
living. They lie buried upon many a
battle field, in many a hospital grave
yard. Their skeleton forms seem to
startle into Iue around the mouuierin
stockades of Andetsonville gimpioring
us to be true to the Union and to the
principles for which they endured the
agonies of starvation. Voices come
from Lil'by, Belle Ile, Macon, Florence
and Saulsbury, telling us to be true to
them, to ourselves-and to posterity.
A half million heroes lie buried in the
land of the South.
There are dark spots on the sun
and bright spots on our earth An
tietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellor
ville, Chattanooga, Gettysburg and a
host of other battle fields. The word
veteran has now a peculiar significance.
Children Cryfor
Pitcher's Castorla.
There 13 more glory and prestige
around the name. In the darkened
ages many a poet strung his lyre and
sang of liberty, end it never came.
The tread of our armies was like the
smoking footprints of the Son of God
on the mountains of Judea. If there
is anything that will rise tindimmed
upon the ocean of time it will not be
some mound of crumbling brickwork,
some monument or mausoleum dedi
cated to the memory of an Alexander,
a Crcsar, or a Napoleon, but it will be
a cenotaph, or shaft, consecrated to a
Washington, to him who seeks the
elevation of his race and the aggran
dizement of humanity. Hut we are
facing dangers that are militating ser
iously against us. This is the dump
ing ground for the criminals and paup
crs of Europe. "Eternal vigilance is
the price of liberty." This should be
written upon our hearts, upon our flag,
upon the walls of our school houses
and upon the rocks of our mountains.
And ''by the virtue and intelligence of
the people we arc sustained," and when
wc lose sight of this we are no longer
a Republic.
Comrades, there was a time when
we were of some importance. It was
when we went to defend the wives
families and property of those who
staid at home, as far from danger .as
they were from Heaven, and who
couldn't to day tell a bombshell from
a pumpkin, Think of it, we are ask
ing for pensions 1 What a crime 1
t will not be long till we will not have
standing room in the middle of a full
sized river, or could warm our feet at
the mouth of a volcano. The "foxes
have holes, the birds of the air have
rests," but veterans have not where to
lay their heads.
Comrades, save the old canteen, the
old haversack, the old musket, place
them away in safety and when you
come to die hand them to your child
ren as mementoes of your service for
your country's welfare. Soon the last
comrade will stand alone upon the
earth amidst the graveyards and ceme
teries of his comrades. Soon he Will
take the last look upon the blushing
battle fields of Chattanooga, Lookout
Mountain and Gettysburg, then pass
away forever.
Sons of v eterans, remember your
fathers who served and perished for
Liberty, Heaven's choicest gift to man
and for the Union of these States,
Heaven's choicest gift to man as its
treasure house.
The school children of Greece were
taught to name over for 300 years
daily the names of the valiant 300
that perished in the defiles of Thermo
pylae. Would we could mention
those who climbed the heights of Fea
Ridge, Ft. I isher, Lookout Mountain
and never came back. The mum
mies of Egypt were preserved m the
sunless pyramids along the Nile for
resurrection morn. But our heroes
are embalmed in the throbbing, loving
hearts of the present generation and
will be 111 the generations yet to come.
How precious our flag having pass
ed through the sulphur and smoke of
a thousand battles 1 What brave men
carried it through the storms of iron
hail I Its stars are from Heaven ; its
stripes from the golden sunrise of
morning. It docs not resemble any
thing on earth. It has no earthly
model. Its model is the cerulean skies,
gemmed with the stars that sang in
harmony at creations birth. It is
like that great mantle of stars that
hangs from the Throne of the Eternal.
Forty-four unsullied stars, the reflec
tion of the planets that gleam around
the midnight Throne.
Stars of our flag shine on through
ages yet to come ; shine on to light the
pathway of liberty, shine on till you
reach the darkened labyrinths of every
human heart.
Our country j still may her flowers un-
tiampled spring,
Her harvests wave, her cities rise 5
And yet till time shall fold her wing,
Remain earth's loveliest paradise."
