Nine steers, the combined weight of
which was 8580 pounds, were driven
across the mountain by Sammy Grif-
fith to be slaughtered by the Kerstet-
ters. The animals were a part of a
bunch of eighteen steers fattened on
the farm of J. W. Harter, near Re-
bersburg.

Hearlock—~Yousg Minister
French Here,
There was a full attendance at Batur-
day’s special meeting
the Lutheran church, called to accept
the resignation of Rev. J. M,
Rearick, who for more than twelve
years served the charge. T. M. Gram-
ley, of Bpring Mills, is president of
this body, and Harry W. Frantz, of
Centre Hall, is the secretary.
Besides the formal tendering and
acceptance of the resignation of Rev.
Rearick, which is to be in effect June
1st, the finances of the charge were
given a cursory examination which
revealed that the pastor’s salary would
all be paid up on or before the last of
the month,
Five applications were received from
ministers who expressed a willingness
to become pastor of the charge. It was
decided invite Rev. Beiber, of
Milton, to come here to fill the ap-
pointments on the charge some time
during the beginning of June, but no
date could be set. Rev. Beiber was or-
dained two weeks ago. He is a gradu-
ate of Buckuell University and the
Lutheran Seminary at Gettysburg.

Headstones for Confederate Soldiers.
A good many people in the North
will be astonished to learn that the
War Department is about to contract
for 20,000 headstones to mark the
graves of Confederate soldiers who
died in Northern prisons. In this
latitude is heard a great deal about
Libby and Andersonville and Castle
Thunder, but not many ever heard of
Elmira or Johnson's Island. The
truth is that the death rate of Confed-
erates in Northern prison was very
high. Southern writers produce the
figures to show that it was higher
than the death rate in the Confederate
prison pens, for which our winters
may account. The Bouth was in no
condition to take care of its prisoners,
Wirz and some other Southern officers
were unquestionably brutes, but when
the South cut up its earpets for blank-
ets for its soldiers, and ground the cobs
with the corn for the rations of its
sons at the front, it could not be ex-
pected to give much food or shelter to
its prisoners,
