Tho company objected to paying for n survey and draft that had been made. In the opinion ot tho Court tho draft was necessary aud a proper charge, tho Prothonotary is therefore sustained nud tho appeal dismissed. An opinion and a decree was handed down Anally discharging P. K McGur, vey as an Insolvent debtor. The grant lug of the discharge was strongly con tested, but tho Court makes the point that as the petltlonei, McGarvey, has complied with the terms ot the statute by which such discharges arc made, it ha no discretion, aud must therefore graut the same, no matter what it opinion may bo iu the matter.

Ho was i niigh in his way; peiiiiipt, a little domineering, yet those wlwi knew him at his best always saw the tender spot lu his heart. His father was Amos Reige', but as uulike day us night nas fut Iter and vui. In cully life Jemmo was in the west nt times; he was a drover and uiHde mid lost money ! in the business It was seemingly come day go day with him. Ho wa married to a daughter ot Mr. Koch, of Mahoning street and several ohlld- eu wero liorn to tliem. Thlflsp didn't go right and Jerome got out of work. Later he found employment at the Bethlehem Iron Works. Then he came back to Lobtghtou and secured em ployment on tho Lehigh Yalley rail road a brakeman on a ooal train. All of our people remember his arrest ou the charge of rape preferred by John Vellhour of Third street, nut so many months ago. Ho was thrown Into the county jail at Munch Chunk and It seemed then as if nil old trieuds lmd deserted him all but hi wife, who Was faithful and constant In her steadfast belief in bis integrity and innocence. Then come the trial at court. He was found guilty oh ludloted aud was sentenced to four years and some months in the Eastern Penitentiary. It was a crushing blow to Jerome Relgel. It luoko his heart, and from tho day he entered the dark, dreary shadowa ot the prison ho began to roop until finally ou last Wednesday Ightthe dark messenger of death idled him hence, let us hope to a better nnd kinder world where suffer lngnud slnnre not. His frleudshercwero notifloJ, i nt being iu poor circumstan ces it was thought that the body could not be claimed and thus be given a decent christian burial. However, on Thursday morning ox-shorlff Raudeu bnsh telegraphed to tho prison warden to hold the body that it would be claimed and Preston Koch left on Fri day aud look measures to recover the body which had beeu turuod over to a modlcul college as Is tho ustom where tho corpso is not claimed within a ccrtalu period. He had to pay 825 to tho oollcgo for the corpse and Satur day evening it was sent here and placed iu Henry Schwaitn'H under taking establishment ou First street, wliero it wns placed In a neat but plain casket and on Sunday taken to tho homo on Mahoning street wliero he left not long before iu life and health. He had suiTered much and his features were drawn and a look ot pain nud sorrow wero printed on his face. Some time before his death ho had been operated on for an abscess lu tho side and had apparently rccoverod, bouyed up with hopo no doubt that his pardon ould bo secured by the friends who were laboring for It. Soveral w ecks ago his case was argued before the Board of Pardons iu session at Harrls- bnrg by Freyman A Hcydt, but tho recommendation wns refused. The disappointment was so great that it is believed that It broko his heart, lie died, away from friends und family, alondu n prison cell, away from tho side ot a good wife and littlo ones who would have gladly run to do his bid ding. But God willed it thus, and God's will not our'a be done. Ho wns burled In the Lehighton Cemetery on Sunday afternoon, Rev. J. Alviu Rcber officiated at tho last sad rites. Hun dreds of people viewed tiro remains, from Welssport, Parryville, Frankliu, rackerton they came aud took a last sad look at one who was only unpthor Ictim ot the strango ways of fate. It might have been different, but it was not, those who would speak 111 of him let them remember tho words of Him who died to savo mankind anil drop a tear in sympathy with tho sorrowing wife aud littlo ones who heed nnd de servo the kindness of all our peoplo In thoir sad bereavement. beason of AiUcnt. Tlits Is tho third week of the season of Advent which is observed principal ly in tho Catholic and Episcopal churches. It began Sunday, 27th ult., nnd will Inst till Christmas. It is u season of penance, which, though not as sevcro In character as those of Lent, pnrtakos of the same observances. Iu the Catholic chuiches tho colors of mourning are used, nud during tho services tho Gloria is omitted from the mass. Christians aro supposed, by de nying themselves ordinary worldly pleasures, to prepare their hearts for tho coming of tho Savior, which the season of Advent signifies, and many rigid church members will not atteud theatres, balls or any kind of amuse ment during tho season. It the Cath olic church marriages ale not permit ted during tho Advent. Among relig ious orders the period 1 observed vory strictly, and all oommuuioatlon, with the world, as far a possible, is avoided. Special services are held in the churches. A llorrlMti UmiiIi.

It was delivered ul an iiiinl- j versary celebrat inn at Bethlehem Sal- I tirday: "Jam -sure I would lie at the first end o-f a verv serious trouble If In my ad dress I should attempt to speak of the ninny features and excellencies nf the imtriotlc order represented here to night, it Is such a broad, subject that the most eloquent might apply their ability and not exhaust It. Behold the magnitude of our older to-dsy, the proud structure which wo have orected. We oongratuiale ourselves m we con template: the continuous, uninterrupt ed onward march of our order to Its present uosttion nud sower. "This is the forty-fifth anniversary of our order. We are here to-night In honor of that event. The first oomtio- sll Ion of our order was made up en tirely of young jneu under tho age of 21 years. Pilor to the war for the union Its organisation whs rather im perfect nud It growth slow. The camp were known only lu the Middle Slates. When the fiite of our country trembled lu the balance; when our government, he best over dovlsed by the wisdom ot mau, was threatened to bo rent ami lorn asuuder, thousands of our true, loyal, and bravo Sons of Ameiica vol unturily enlisted in dctenso of tin un broKen union of stulos uud the preser vation of our government. "They marched from the sen to the gnlf, louring freemen wherever they trod, and at the close of the great struggle tho clank of the chain was no longer heard, tho union of states re mained as ono, thousands having died and bled in defense ot the teaching of the older, nanioly 'lovo of tho old Hug,' and other tnousunds icturned to their homes rementberlug that they had fought add suffered to inscribe upon tho folds of tho flag, that better, that grander, that nobler word, 'Liberty.' Through nil these yeara of upbuilding our heurts havo been thrilled, our minds Inspired, aud our hands upheld by this high and noble sentiment, of our order, tho 'lovo of tho flag.' "To bang the order up to h higher lutriotic standard has been the pro pelling sentiment which has harruou iited our meetings, sweetened our in tercourse, cemented our work, and inspired our plans leading the sur viving members lu 1800 to tnko that flag for which sd mauy had fought uud bled, und, marching forth, held it aloft and beckoned nil true Americans to come up to its standard; nnd under its influcnco they reorganized, placing the order upou a moro substantial basis 1 torn that day to this its members havo been earnestly at work locating a camp in every town in tho United States. "Listen lo how grandly wo have suc ceeded. Wo bavo camps In thirty states. They number 1273. tuid tho membership is 00,OOU Pennsylvania has 000 camps with 50,000 members. CainpXo. 30, of Bethlehem, bus 130 members. It was organized on Sent. 11, 1837, nutl iu thoso live years has ex pended f-830 In benefits. Is it a wonder that so largo and intelligent an audl- enco bus gathered hero to-night ou this our forty.flfth anniversary? No, for till lovo tlio grand old Hag nnd tho principles of our order. Hero lies the sectct of our patriotism, for under that ensign wo havo protection assured to us not only iu this our own country, but upon tho waters und foreign shore?. Our order seek the progress and perpetuity uf our country a country! that has ugilcultunil resources equal to sustaining 1,000,000,000 inhabitants; mineral wealth uud mineral products groater already than than that of any other country. Our order seeks to in culcate pure love for our institutions, opposition to foreign interference with state iuterosts lu the United States, tho cultivation of fraternal affection, tho preservation ot tho constitution of the United States, and tho propogatlqn of free eduoutlou. In getting from tlio train at Rending tho other duy I saw a largo placard. It road, 'Staud by our free school system.' Had our fathers been confronted by thatcardtheirhalr would havo turnod gray. "Our order is distinctly American, for as children of its soil, reared be neath its flag, loving It as none other can love, knowing it as nouo other run know, und having an interest in its future welfare, nearer, truer, deeior than all mankind besides, we have as sociated ourselves together, pledging ourselves to the olfeerranoo and sup port ot Its laws, us become the sons of freemen. The immediate beuellts of our order are home benevolence, care of the sick, burial of its dead, uud pio tectlon of tho home, and uiidcrucalh till.--principle is that beautiful senti ment of 'Fraternity.' "In conclusion, our fathers budded well Hiiil wisely, and tbe most favored uatlou ou the face of the earth is theirs. But what of the future? What effect will the toemlng thousands have upon our fair lands who havo lauded upon our shore during the recent years? Wo have welcomed all who have come. We luive glwn them a share in the country's prosperity But of late years tho character of the cur rent, ot Immigration has changed. The devisable classes are overwhelmed by the pauper labor aud criminal classes, There ia h tremendous Influx ol -Opto, the lowest strata of Italian society, of Huns, ot Russians. Tbe question may well be asked upou this our forli fifth auuiversary, Where is tho end? "A great nation has beeu huilucd, but its corner stone has been endan gered by the preaching of anarchy aud tbe swaiaiiug of the low anil viciun-. We ouu HssimiiaW u certain amount of tlrls element, Imt we can not become tbe dumplug grouud for the world und live. The time must come under siu-li policy when tbe ignorant anil criminal will outnumber tbe intelligent, uud then wliet heuoipea of tlds proud ua tlou? Ha not the period come to cull a halt? Senator Chandler's bill, now ready to be introduced, restricting im migration, tor one year, is well taken, for during this pause we may ask our selves, 'Where are we at?' as touching this question. "Self preservation demands tltqi (be bar against indiscriminate i ami Igni tion shell be put up. Oive Aiueloa a ohauoe aud her future must lnefttably be the history of the world.
