The usual Memorial Day services were held in all parts of Penns Valley, and at each point the services were largely attended and great interest manifested, At Centre Hall the usual program was carried out Saturday evening, the chief features being the singing of National airs by the school children and an address by Rev. J. Allison Platts, of Bellefonte. The line of march was formed at the Reformed church, and from there the procession proceeded to the cemetery, where the graves of the heroes of wars from 1812 to the Spanish war and that of Charles Peterson a Napolianic soldier, were decorated. After this, the participants went to the Methodist church, where a large oumber of children under the direction of Prof. P. H. Meyer, sang National aire. The organist was Jennie Stahl, a junior, who performed her part re- markably well. The local ministers were present and participated in the ceremonies, and Cyrus Brungart superintended the whole proceedings, Mra. 8B, 8, Kreamer and Miss Roxanna Brisbin assisting in the music, and arranging the children. The speaker was Rev. J. Allison Platts, pastor of the Presbyterian church, Bellefonte. His address was a most eloquent one, and many new thoughts were presented by him not before brought out on similar occasions The address of Rev. J. Allison Platts, Ph. D., pastor of the Presbyterian church, of Bellefonte, was superior both as to thought, language and de- livery. Starting with the humorous toast of a tiney U. 8B. senator, who bounded the United SBtetes on the east by the dawn of creation and oa the west by the Judgment Day, he sssert- ed that thera are elements in our civi- lization that go back to the beginning of creation and that will not resch their consummation till the end of the present age. Back of all events, all phenomena, is an intelligent Cause Who directs all thing. the Mediterranean Sea the Hebrew nation, who enunciated the eternal principles of civil and religious free dom. This nation was not true to ita sacred mission, yet from its royal house there sprang One Who in His doctrine of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man more clearly and forcibl- set forth these principles and opened the way for their dissemi- nation among the nations of the world. time, failing to grasp and cherish these ideas of rquality, fraternity snd liber. ty, perished ; and to the hardy Auglo- Saxon race, uncontaminated by the luxury of Rome, fell the mission de spised by the effeminate Roman principles of true human progress were and in time the U. 8B. beeasme a nation, political ideals of the Hebrews, But one jpstitution of the was not in harmony with its profes pation with its divine ideals threatened, There is a legend that a yawning of imperial Rome aud the oracle de clared that the chasm could be closed only by casting in the most precious thing that Rome had. Merchan's brought their costliest goods and women their jawels ; but the ¢left in the earth grew wider. Then a prioce of royal blood came, and, declaring that Home's most precious possession was her manhood, leaped in and the chasm closed. And so it was by a great sacrifice of America’s manhood that the chasm between the Biates was filled. The character of that man- bood was vividly portrayed in a de scription of that wonderful charge of Pickett’s command and its most heroic repulse. Because of this noble sacrifice of manhood Gettysburg became the turning point in our history, and start. ed a wave of influence that will reach around the word, - Our soldiers deserve the greater hon. or because they were not professional por hirelings, nor driven by compu'- sion, but actuated by a love for free dom natural to the American. The heroism and sscrifices of the women were vividly set forth, The great contests of the past have been around great bodies of water as the Mediterranean sea and the Atlan- tic ocean, Circumstance seems to in- dicate that the next great and the final struggle will be around the Pacific, on whose shores are developing the great nations of the future. To the veteran soldiers was given the pledge to see that what they gained sat so great cost should be kept and enlarged, The graves of the two revolution. ary soldiers, Jacob Van Doran and Thomas Bhadecre, in Indian Lane, were not neglected, but were visited at eleven o'clock Monday by the Re. porter force and bedecked with flags and flowers, These soldiers were killed in a hand to hand conflict with five Indians. ‘ [ Thanks to Capt. G. M. Boal for flags, and Mrs. William Floray for flowers. —¥D | BOALABURG, Memorial Day at Boalsburg was ob- served Monday. The public buildings as well as many private residences were appropriately decorated, and the weather was Ideal. At six o'clock in the evening numbers of people from every direction met on the dismond of the town, where, underneath the wav ing of the stars and stripes, a parade was formed, headed by the Lemont band, followed by the Odd Fellows of the Boalsburg lodge, the vetersns oar- rying wreaths, and a line of boys and girls with bouquets of flowers, Upon the Bpanish Hymn, Rev. J. I. Btone. cypher led in prayer, and Col, D. F. Fortney delivered the address of the occasion. He spoke in a strong, clear voice, emsily understood by all, and dwelt mainly on the historical part of the Civil War, referring to the organ- izing of the companies at Boalsburg, especially that of Company G, which was formed mostly of boys from the school and farm, and between the ages of 16 and 22 years. He also tried to impress upon the minds of the young the importance of forming good habits in order to berome good, patriotic eiti- zone, He closed by reading a beautiful poem entitled, “The Stars of the Flag.” The benediction was pronounced by Rev. A. A. Black. While the band pinyed a dirge the graves of the heroes were decorated, Thirty-two soldiers are buried in the Boalsburg cemetery.
