MEMORIAL SERVICES,
Owing to the recent death of Ben-
jamin Blcwitt and Mrs. Caleb Barton,
two of the prominent members of the
Methodist Episcopal church the ser
vices last Sunday morning were in
honor of their memory. Rev. Con
ner said among things that " Mrs.
Barton was worthy of being classed
among the heroes. She was a
woman of retiring disposition, but of
strong convictions, and one of the
first to organize Methodism in Blooms
burg, and undoubtedly had met with
much opposition, but notwithstanding
this, she persevered and the result is
the large flourishing congregation now
in the Town. She was hopeful, full
of courage, happy and cheerful, and
by means of these traits of character
won and held many friends."
Mr. Blewitt he stated was a man of
great faith. He never questioned his
salvation. He worked, prayed, and
talked with men in regard to their
salvation, and had faith that God
would answer his prayers.
He was a great worker for the
Lord, working in, and out of season.
Some people are very energetic on
certain occasions. Such as revivals
Sic, but during the rest of the year do
nothing. Mr. Blewitt was not that
kind of a man. He worked all the
time, and under all circumstances.
Midst all his sufferings he had great
patience, never murmered nor com
plained. These people endeared
themselves to the community by their
sincerity, consistancy, conscientious
ness and consecrated lives.
They endeavored to live one day
like another. People respected them
because they respected their con
science. They were consecrated. I
would rather be like them, than to
have extraordinary gifts of intellectual
endowment, riches or fill the highest
office in the land. We can't all be
rich, and intellectual and fill high
positions but, we can all be like them,
and I pray that their mantle may fall
opon us."
Mr. Conner then stated that any
of the congregation who had any re
marks to make would be at liberty to
do so. I. W. Hartman, said he had
known Mrs. Barton for 62 years, and
had first been attracted to her when a
boy of 8 years of age by her modest
and unassuming character. She was
a regular attendant at class meetings,
aDd a ureat worker at revivals, lie
was present when Mr. Bbwitt was
converted, and that he was a glorious
man, and hoped thit his mantle would
,all upon him."
G. W. Corell said," he had known
Mrs. Barton 47 years, and had the
gieatest respect for her, and great
faith in her religion. "Mr. Blewitt hid
joined his class at the time of his con
version.
F. B. Hartman said that 20 years
ago he worked in a blacksmith shop
and sharpened tools . for the miners,
and would never forget the good
counsel lie received from Mr. Blewitt
He would talk with the men at noon
in regard to their souls and they all
respected and loved him.
Remarks of a similar character were
made by L. T. Sharpless, W. B. Cum-
mings, George Enlerline and James
C Brown. It was a service loig to
be remembered.
In the Novice bicycle race Thurs
day afternoon, Hairy Knies' bicycle
broke when they were finishing the
last quarter, throwing him to the
ground. The riders who were behind
him fell on and over him. Dave
Brighton was in this race, but was so
far behind that the mishap did not
affect, him. Dave cainc nearly titling

IN THE LOOK UP.
It has been some time since the
above place has had an inmate, but
the excitement or "booze" of last
week proved too much for Henry
Kreischer, Mahlon Snyder, Edward
Jones, and Lew Hildebrant. They
were arrested by Chief Knorr on the
charge of drunkenness, and Hilde
brandt on the additional one of dis
orderly conduct. The three first
named were ordered by President of
the Town Council Creasy to give up
three dollars toward the support of
the Town, and Hildebrant was ob
liged to go two dollars better. The
first three paid the fine, and Lew gave
bail to pay his in ten days.
'Union with Christ" will be the
theme of Rev. Weeks' sermon next
Sunday morning at the Baptist Church.
This Sermon was delivered before
the Baptist Association recently held
at Jersy Shore, and by request of the
Church, will be repeated here.
Everybody is invited.
W. L. Demaree has moved into his
new residence on Fifth Street. He
has one of the most convenient homes
on that street.

AMOS BUOKALEW DEAD.
Amos Buckrdew, who was known to
nearly all of our readers, died at his
home on Main Street, last Saturday,
Whilst he had been sick for a long
time, and his death was not unexpect
ed, still it always brings with it a shot
when we are informed that one of our
number has passed away. He had
been sick for a long time, and for
several years had been unable
leave the house. He was born in
Cambria, Luzerne Co., Octcber 1 1
1837, and at the time of his death
was aged 58 years and one day
When he arrived at the age of man
hood he came to Bloomsburg, and
was employed by George Risewick
who at that time owned a livery in
this place. Mr. Risewick died in
1879, and he together with his brother
R. C. purchased the said business,
which they have conducted up to this
time. He was married to Miss
Mears in 1870, and thronghout his
long sickness she has proved a loving,
sympathetic wife, and has in her
affliction the sympathy of the entire
community. The funeral services
were held at his late residence, Mon
day afternoon, at 2 o'clock by Rev
Patterson of the Presbyterian Church,
of which he was a member, and his
remains were followed to their last
resting place by a large concourse of
mends.
Bonds Sold.

The services in the Y. M. C. A.
hall last Sunday were conducted by
Rev. Adolph Mayer, Rabbi of the
Jewish congregation at Danville and
were interesting from the beginning to
the finish. He took for as the subject
of his talk "beginnings," and his
discourse was replete good practical
thoughts.
