THE CAMERON COUNTY PRESS- SJIVVBUSHED BY C. B. GOJLD, MARCH 1866. VOL. 40. The Observer. A short time before Dr. Osier's name came to be on all our tongues as a re sult of his views regarding the forty year and sixty-year way-marks in "human life, there fell into the Observ er's hands a little volume by this dis tinguished physician, entitled "Science and Immortality." Last year Dr. Osier delivered the lecture at Harvard on the George Goldthwaite Ingersoll foundation, and it is this lecture that forms the content of this little volume. List summer when it was first an nounced that Dr. Osier was preparing a lecture on the subject of immortality, the Observer mentioned the fact to a local physician. The latter remarked in effect that a physician's sphere is medicine and surgery and that he had better leave the handling of theologi cal and philosophical questions to those competent to deal with them. This is no doubt saying too much, but, Dr. Osier himself in his introductory remarks betrays similar misgivings, and the Observer is strongly tempted to conclude that the misgivings are justified by the result. Nevertheless it is instructive to learn the attitude towards the question of immortality of men whose habits of thought have been formed chiefly in the domain of physical sciences. It is instructive, but not very inspiring. One seems to read beween the lines that the intellectual atmosphere and associations in the midst of which Dr. Osier has been spending his life have been hostile or indifferent to a faith in immortality. Perhaps if the author were less than forty years of age, he might be aware of the fact that scien- j tific thought is very far from being en- I tirely materialistic and agnostic, and that it is becoming less so every year. : It must not be inferred from what I has been said that Dr. Osier's personal ' attitude towards immortality is hostile ! or even indifferent. It is indeed frankly j agnostic, so far as the standpoint of mere reason is concerned; but the | author recognizes a logic of the heart! which for purposes of life possesses an authority greater than does the logic of the head. His personal attitude is expressed in his approving quotation of Cicero's remark that he would rather be mistaken with Plato than be in the right with those who deny alto gether the life after death. To sum up Dr. Osier's lecture in paragraph, he says that the vast ma jority of people, while outwardly pro fessing to believe in the life after death, are really without much thought or concern for it. This class ho calls the Laodiceans IRev. 3:15). Another class frankly dismisses the subject as one j about which we can know nothing and i need to know nothing. These are the I Qallionians (Acts 18:17). In present- j ing the position of the Gallionians, the j author states the negative arguments 1 of physical science affecting fheques tion of immortality. Opposed to the j two foregoing classes are the small and select few, the Teresians (named from St. Theresa i, who feel that to them it is j given to know the mysteries This | class, says Dr. Osier, has ever formed 1 moral leaven of humanity. "They are j the salt of the earth, so far as prtserv- I ing for us a firm conviction of the exist- 1 ence of another and better world." The author's sympathies are with the j Teresians, and he prefers to be wrong with them than to be right with the 1 Gallionians. While one must admire the heroic ! H, irit which leads the author to align 1 himself with those who believe in spiritual realties, in the face of oppos ing intellectual currents, with which alone he has come into closest contact; it must nevertheless be said that the lecture on the whole is depressing and disappointing. He conceives the intellect and the emotions as standing in such separation from each other, and even in such opposition to each other, that his pure ly emotional vindication of the belief in immortality reminds one of the boy's definition of faith: "Faith is believ ing something that you know ain't so." The Observer believes that the head and the heart, reason and faith, cannot be in substantial separation,but that whither one of these truly leads, thither the other will surely follow. Valuable H ens. Mr. William Wykoff claims to have the best flock of hens in Cameron county —and lie certainly has good grounds for his opinion as the follow ing true statement will show: Mr. Wykoff moved his goods from Square Timber Run to Cameron on Sunday. Among his belongings was his chicken coop, which he had loaded on a car. His 24 chickens were insidethe coop and no attention was paid to them till the train reached Stillhouse Junction, where it stopped to cool a hot journal. Considerable time was consumed in cooling the journal and in the mean time the ladies in the party began to feel hungry—and someone suggested there might be an egg in the coop.- Mr. Wykoff looked in and found six eggs that had been laid since the train left Square Timber Run, and live more hens an the nests. The oil stove was unpacked and a quick lunch was soon served. The distance travelled was three mile and the hens laid at the rate of two eggs per mile, which is a very good record, considering the sharp curves and low points to con tend with. Mr. Wykoff intends to pre sent one of his hens to General Kuro patkin, so he can keep up his strength while retreating from the Japs. J. K. S. Millinery Opening. Miss Ludlam has returned from the city with a complete stock of Spring Millinery and has arranged for their opening, Thursday and Friday, April «th and 7th, and cordially invite the public to call and see the new goods. Broad Street. Lady Maccabees. The Ladies of the Maccabees, held another rousing meeting, at their hall, Thursday evening, March 30th, when sixteen candidates were led through the mysteries of the order, and intro duced to his lordship, The Maccabee Goat, who has been kept busy of late, thirty-eight| having been added during March. Another Brick Project. The J. S. Wiley Estate, owners of a large body of land near Emporium, have extensive clay beds and after ex tensive experiments have developed the fact that they have clays of super ior quality. Mr. G S. Wiley has in duced New York City capitalists to in vestigate the proposition, one of the party, Mr. F. M. VanDensen now being here for the purpose of looking over the territory. Rev. Mr. Knox Preaches. The Rev. R. J. Knox, of Lock Haven, Pa., acceptably filled the pulpit of the First Methodist Episcopal Church last Sunday morning and even ing, a good sized audience greeting him at both services. Rev. Knox is pleasantly remembered by the people of our community, among whom he resided for a year He was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. F. P. Rentz during his visit here. The PRESS enjoyed a cocial call from the pleasant gentle man, accompanied by Mr. F. P. Rentz. $5.00 Reward. Philip Blossinger, better known as "Pittsburg Phil," who resides near the furnace has been somewhat annoyed lately by boys stoning his house, and last evening while he was preparing his supper, some one threw a stone through the window. A reward of $5 00 will be paid for information that will lead to the arrest of the person or persons who threw it. Any informa tion given Chief of Police Mundy will be investigated. Destructive Fire in Williamsport. At an early hour last Sunday morn ing the Brown Building at the Corner of Pine and Willow streets, Williams port, and the Gazette and Bulletin of fice on Willow street, were badly damaged by fire. The damage to the Brown Building is estimated at $20,- 000, and a heavy lo»9 was inflicted on almost all the tenants of the building. The third floor of the building was fitted up with sleeping rooms and some of the occupants barely escaped with their lives, not having awakened before the flames had cut off escape by the stairway. They were rescued by ladders placed by the firemen. The Gazette and Bulletin building suffered the most loss in the basement, used as a press room. The building escaped the fire in a fortunate manner. Rev. Mr. Oyler. The above named gentleman who has been stationed at Keating Summitt for four years, been removed by the Con ferer.ee to Mercersburg, Pa., and de parted on Wednesday for his new ! charge. During his Pastorate at Keat- \ ing he has been very successful and j energetically entered upon his work. He had charge of four gracious and j extensive revivals, the membership j was increased from fifty to 118 and the ' church property from $1,500 to $6,200; j erecting a new parsonage and church, i The circuit has been increased by the : addition of a new charge; the pastor's ! salary has been increased $l5O, the I missionary salary has increased SSO. j < Cameron county citizens have especial , interest in Rev. Oyler and wife, the j latter having formerly resided here I ! and will be pleasantly remembered a3 i Miss Mame Phoenix. The Deliverymen Have Their Say. EDITOR PRESS: Being interested in the treatment of horses, I wish to com mcnton the article in your last issue ; signed signed "Anti-Cruelty." I am glad that a number of citizens are as j noticeable of the treatment of horses as they infer, but I wonder if these same citizens, when cleaning their back yards, do not throw old iron, hoops, glass, papers,etc., into the alley jor street, endangering horses lives. Will they not see the proper authori ties in order to stop the automobiles and motor cycles from racing through the streets at a terrific rate of speed, i frightening poor dumb horses more j than a lash of the whip would do. Too, might they not look after livery I horses while interested in Delivery horses and see that they are not raced over twenty or thirty miles in a short time, left standing in the cold, un blanketed, driven past watering troughs or fed when warmed up to a high pitch. Surely none of the "Anti- Cruelty" ever do such tilings (?). As | I too am very much interested in the | welfare of horses and do not wish to criticize the article above mentioned, but I do believe that it wculd be better for the "Citizens" to look after such things than to watch an experienced horseman make his horses mind, in order to have them drive up well aud enjoy the appreciation of his employ ers. A DRIVER OF "A NICE DARK TEAM." Brush Up. F. H. Pearsall, the popular Painter and Paper Decorator desires to inform his many patrons that lie is ready for an active season's work, having in his employ several good experienced workmen. After many years of ex perience in decorating and painting the bublic can rest assured they will receive first-class attention.

Daisy Gets Ripping, tklitor Press: In a recent issue of the PRESS we noticed a letter written by "Daisy," in which the management, or the mis management, of the schools of this place, was the subject which called forth a glowing tribute from the gifted pen of our inspired Daisy. He speaks of the high rate of taxation. Are the teachers responsible for the amount required to RUN the schools? Can he prove that the directors are not attend ing to their duties'? "Daisy" seems to think that the teachers receive too much pay for their work. Why does he not USE HIS INFLUENCE and perhaps the salaries MIGHT be reduced. , "Daisy" also insinuates that the truant ' officer is not looking after truants as he should. Can "Daisy', prove the truth of all that he said? In regards to the entertainments or "theatricals," as "Daisy" so lovingly styles them, he made a slight mistake in his count, or it maybe that he has not the usual number of fingers on his right hand. "Daisy" should endeavor to keep truth on his side, in such matters, at least, for someone, who has nothing else to do, may dispute his statements. The "A or larger" class may RUN the school but the lady in charge has reserved the the right to offer suggestions and for some reason her suggestions are imme diately acted upon. Strange isn't it? In every village we are sure to find one or two persons who are unwilling to attend to their own affairs and to this class "Daisy" evidently belongs J if he was dissatisfied with the work ! done in the schools, why did he not I complain either to the directors or the i teachers? Oh what a pitv that "Daisy" ' cannot reform the universe. In coil- | elusion, we would advise "Daisy" to j attend to his own affairs. He has not covered himself with glory nor has he made any friends by the stand he has taken. He seems to be standing alone and his figure is not a pretty one. We think the directors and teachers are capable of attending to the schools and j that they require no assistance from j such as "Daisy." FAIR PLAY. Sterling Run, Pa., April 4th, 1905. j Reception to Rev. O. S. Metzler. The return of Rev. O. S. Metzler, Pastor of Emporium M. E.

Faus officiating. Mr. Fulton had resided in Cameron county for many years and always carried the respect of our citizens. * » * HALL. GEORGE HARRISON HALL, aged about 6.5 years, died in his room over Frank Shives' store, last Friday morning, after an illness of two weeks of pneu monia. George came to Emporium in Feb. 1866 from the army, having followed the troops from the south. At Norfolk, Va., he tied to Capt. R. M. Overhiser and cared for his horses. When the war closed George shouldered his knapsack and musket and kept with the Cameron county boys until he landed here, where he has ever since been a familiar figure, working for years for J. L. Cook and Judge Coch ran and the last few years for Mr. Shives. During his last illness Mr. Shives and family gave him every at tention and ministered to his every want. Nothing positive is known of George's history, but he was evidently born in slavery, although George in sisted he was born in Dublin, his mother being Irißh and his father an Indian. While be was unable to read or write he w;.s cute enough and took pride in remembering how to pro nounce big words and use them in their proper place. During all his years passed here he was trusted by every employer and never once was bis honesty questioned. Tell George Harrison not to repeat what was told to him it was a sealed book. He was a character and everybody had a pleas ant word for him. Undertaker Egan took charge of his remains and placed them in the parlor over the store, dressed in his G. A. R uniform and decorated with his sash aud badges of honor—the latter highly prized by the deceased during life. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at two o'clock, Rev. J M. Robertson Rector of Emmanuel Episcopal Church officiating. The rooms were well filled with our citizens, a large number fol lowing him to the grave. Floral offer ings decorated his casket and potted ferns were stationed around the room. His pall bearers were prominent citi zens—Capt. R. M. Overhiser, H. L. Burns, M. T. Hogan, M. C. Tulis, J.W. Kriner and A. A McDonald. The faithful old soul had a good christian burial, thanks to the friends who had known him for 39 years—Mr. Shives purchasing the lot in Wiley Cemetery, and paying fur his care during illness, other friends defraying the undertak er's expenses. Peace to his soul. * BARR Mr. James A. Barr, of Dents Run, died at Philadelphia Hospital, March 30th, from a complication of diseases. Deceased was born Feb. 23, 1860 and was the eldest son of Saul Barr, deceas ed, and was born and lived all his life on the old homestead near Dents Hun, where he was taken ill.
