ALL THI AQUMOXTIOXI or THK EARTH AOOHKIATKD INTO O.VK MONSTER AOURK OATION— Welsh and Mind's Great .S'Aoir.— Tho St. Louis Globe-Democrat says of Welsh and Sand s Croat Show : "As far as our advices reach everybody looked on tip-too with eager and well founded anticipations of a day und evening brim full of wonderful sights and worlds of fun. Yesterday long ere the sun deign ed to show his face, tho I'nion depot, streets and avenues leading thereto was ono solid mass of human flesh swaying to and fro watching the unloading of Welsh and Sand's great show, which is entirely • new and undeniably leads the van In mag | nitude. Long before nine o'clock thous j amis upon thousands of people fllled the I streets along the lino of march, which had j been published in these columns, to wit ness the most gorgeous and sensational free street parade over givon in this city. In the afternoon their enormous tents were fllled to their utmost capacity, to witness an exhibition of more rare wild beasts, birds, reptiles and marine wonders and a greater number of thrilling, novel and lu dicrous Equestrian and Oymnastic feats and animal acts and antics, than ever before seen in this city, in any five shows put to gether. What a host of genuine features ; they have combined ample capital with every adjunct of modern scienco to gather in the most notablo of living curiosities and muscular phenomena from the uttler most parts of the earth, and to present them with every accessory thatcan be devis ed to impart attractive magnificence to both spectacular display and arenic performance, including the marvelous steam Electric Light. —At a meeting of tho Board of Trustee* of the Pennsylvania Stato College,' hold at the Bush House, in Bellefonte, on Thurs day, May 27,18#0, Prof. Joseph Shortlidge of Concordville, Delaware cdunty, Pa., was unanimously elected President in place of Dr. James Calder resigned. Professor Shortlidge comes highly recommended and we have no doubt will make a success of the College. He is a brother of William Shortlidge, Esq., of this plaCe. —"There," said Jones triumphantly holding up hi* egg at the breakfast table, "I was always told I wanted ehie, and now I've got it," A smile perambulated the table, as a matter of course, and the young man studying French laughed im moderately after tho Joke had been thor oughly explained to him. But there is no joke about the fact that Brew A Hon keep the finest and cheapest stock of groceries to be found in Bellefonte. —We advise all person* to order fall and winter clothing early. Our heavy weights will be on sale May Ist. L-tf, MONTGOMERY A Co., Tailor*. DECORATION DAY IN BKI.I.EPONTIC.— Saturday opened out bright mid clear, and the early morning hours gave indication of unusual activity around the headquar ters of Gregg Post. The streets presented an animated spectacle, and there was every promise that the memorial services here would be both imposing and interesting. Although tho civic display was not quite up to our expectations, it was so well and skillfully directed as to make the specta tors forget its paucity of numbers. The arrangements were complete and satisfac tory, and tho various committees of Gregg Post deserve great credit for tho faithful and earnest manner in which they strove to muko tho impressive ceremony of laying a flowery tributo upon the breasts of our dead heroes, one not soon to bo forgotten in Bellefonte. In their efforts they wore seconded by the great interest our citizens manifested, and by tho ludies, who came generously forward with lavish floral con tributions. Altogether Saturday 'a pageant was the finest we have had for years. The banks were all closed, but very few, if any, of tho business places closed their doors, even during the little time consumed in tho actual decoration of the graves. Im mediately after 12 o'clock streams of peo ple began to pour in to the Diamond from every avenue of approach, and by three o'clock the streets and sidewalks in the vicinity of Gregg I'ost were almost im passible. At 3J the vurious organizations began to arrive and were at once assigned their positions by Chief Marshal Curtin. At fifteen minutes after four, all being in readiness, Marshal Curtin waved his baton and the procession moved in the following order : Chief Marshal Gen. J. I. Curtin. Mountain Citv Band—lß pieces. Gregg Post, (. A. K.—Bo men. Logan Hose Company—3s men. AsCt Marshals Tate, Brew and Miller. Orator of the day and citizens in car riages. A largo portion of the crowd in the street followed the procession to the ceme tery. The ceremonies here were exceed ingly impressive, and there were several new features introduced with which the officiating members of Gregg Post did not seem to have been thoroughly familiar. With a few unavoidable hitches every thing passed off in an entirely satisfactory manner. The music, both vocal and in strumental, was rendered in very fine style. After tho quartette had sung, "We deck their graves alike," the solemn work of decorating the graves of eighty-seven sol diers was accomplishes]. A wreath and boquet were laid Upon each grave while a small flag bearing the name of the dead soldicf was placed at the head. The feature of the occasion, however, was the admirable oration pronounced by the Hon. Jos. W. Parker, of Lewistown. Without question it was the finest effort of the kind ever heard in Bellefonte. Mr. Parker is a natural orator. His language is choice and beautiful, whilo his voice is good and his delivery pleasant. At the conclusion of Mr. Parker's address the procession reformed and marched to the Logan Hose House, where the firecompany dishanded. Gregg Post was then conduct ed to its headquarters, where the parade was dismissed. This ended the ceremonial and patriotic Bellefonte had once more honored her soldier heroes. MEMORIAL SERVICE* IN FERUI'SON TOWNSHIP. —The gentlemen invited t" de liver addresses at various point* in Fergu j con township where Decoration ceremonies were observed, returned with glowing ac counts of their trip through the beautiful township ; of the unanimity with which the peoplo turned out and their generous treatment of the speakers, and the good tate, propriety and solemnity attendant upon tho services over the dead. Taking an early start they reached Pino Hall about 8 A. M., whero they were met by the Marshal of the day, Wm. 11. Fry, accom panied by the Pine Grove band and a large number of gentlemen and ladies and a hearso filled with boqucts of flowers. Here the ritual of the Grand Army was read, David 11. Young acting as chaplain, after which appropriate addresses were delivered by J. L.*Bpangler and W. C. Heinle, Ksqs. After decorating tho grave* of the sol dier dead here a procession was formed and proceeded to Gatesburg where a large company of people had gathered. The ceremonies here wore made particularly impressive by a hymn sung by a choir of ladies and gentlemen conducted by Mr. Chas. Keith. In the solemn stillness of the churchyard from which there is a grand view of the valley and the Alleghonies in the distance, in the decorous presence of the men, women and children of the ham let that hymn made an impression never to be forgotten by some of it* hearer*. Here Messrs Fortney and Hpangler made eloquent addresses, after which the work of decoration was completed. After the ceremonies the people spread an elegant lunch In the yard, having provided full and plenty of the best eatables. They en tertainod band, speakers and everybody In such a manner that Gatesburg hospitality will not be soon forgotten. Messrsßheetr., Ryders, Lemon and their good ladies took especial charge of the speakers, and to them we are requested to return their hearty thank*. The procession now ro-formed and marched to Meek's Church where scenes similar to those we have described took place. Here Messrs Heinle and Spangler made appropriate remark* and the monument of John Campbell was tastefully festooned with flowers. He was killed at Petersburg and his remains never recovered, but his friends have erected an elegant monument to his memory. After pausing to admiro the beauties of the scenery the cavalcade moved down the valley to Pine Grove. Notwithstanding the threatening appearance of the sky a noble uudicnco greeted the s|ieakcrs. Rev. Mr. Coser of the Lutheran church opened tho ceremonies with prayer, and af ter some delightful music, J. B. Linn deliv ered what was universally pronounced ono of the ablest and most effective Decora tion day orutions ever heard in the valley. He was followed by I). F. Forlney in an eloquent and powerful speech. J. L. Spangler also made u few remarks. Af ter a beautiful Hymn, sung by some little girls, ihe ceremonial of the day was con cluded in a happy manner without a single unpleasant incident to mar the duy. Here Mr. Kelly of tho Presbyterian church made a little speech of thunks which he wound up with some powerful expressions of patriotic eloquence. Messrs Kckle, lfeb erling and others of tho committee whose names we did not leurn did themselves in finite credit by their successful exertions to Lave Decoration day suitably observed. Here also the kindness of the people will be remembered by tho visitors. I)r. Smith C'apt. Dunlap, ex-Treasurer Mitchell, Win. Pntton and many others extended the prop er courtesy of the place. After partaking of a bountiful supper at the residence of the Marshal, Mr. Win. 11. Fry, whose ad mirable conduct of the proceedings of the day brought down upon him the thanks of all in attendance upon the ceremonies, the visitors came away with pleasant recollec tions of a happy well spent day. DECORATION DAY AT KIUIIKSIII'HU.— From a correspondent at Rebcrsburg wo have the following : REHKRMIIURO, Pa., Jan. 31, IHRII. EDITOR* CENTRE DEMOCRAT : Decor ation day was' observed here with the usual ceremonies appropriate on ouch oc caoiono, and ao it i* the tirot time that the citizens of Mile* township tnnde an effort to honor her departed soldier* with'ouita ble riti-o, 1 desire Pi request a little opace in the DEMOCRAT PI give a brief descrip tion of the exercises. At about 1 I*, M., people began to aooenibbi at the place of rendezvous* — Mr. Walker's lot Kebersburg —where all wore formed inPi line prepara tory to marching to Union cemetery. Lieut. S. M. Spangler, who was the chief marshal on the occasion, arranged the procession in the following order : Color bearer, Kebersburg Hand, Orator and Chaplains : then came the surviving soldiers—some twenty-five—lead by Mr. J. A. Miller, a hero worthy Pi lead the bravest, for Mr. Miller was in every en gagement in which the 14Hth Regiment took part, ever in front and never shirk ing duty. Next in order were children, some two hundred and fifty, in charge of l'rof. C. L. (Jramley. Hon. Samuel Fratiek brought up the rear with tile citizens. Arriving at the Union cemetery, the procession formed inPi a hollow square around the soldiers' graves. The marshal now explained in a brief address the object and significance of the ceremonies about to lie performed. Several stanzas of a hymn entitled. "Dec oration Ode," were then sung, followed by prayer lead by Kcv. Landis. A dirge bv the band was then played, ami comrade j. A. Miller and Thomas E. Royer who had j been designated to decorate two sjiecial | graves, came forward and performed their i parts, after which the rest of the graves ! were decorated by the children. The pro. ! cession then resumed its march P> the j Evangelical cemetery when, after singing two specinl graves were decorated by If. Myer and Rev. Stover, the rest of the graves were then decorated by the children as before, and after another piece of music by the band all assembled in the Kvangel ical church to listen to an address by Maj. It. 11. Forster. Not all however, for the house was packed before one-half of the people were tn. Expecting to see the Major's address in print, I shall not attempt to give an ab stract of it here, suffice it pi say that he was listened to with profound attention throughout, and that every person spoke in the highest terms of his oration. His allusion Pi a " war-meeting" that was held in the same building in August 1862, eigh teen years ago, was peculiarly impressive. There were before him many who had at tended that meeting and witnessed, a few days later, the departure of "Co. A," for the scene of war. It is estimated that at least 1,00)1 citizens and children were in attendance last Sat urday, every thing passed ofT decently ; no disorder of any kind occurred, and all seemed impressed with the solemnity of the occasion. Mnny thanks are due the ladies for the prompt assistance rendered in making pre parations for the day. "Co. A." WALKER AND MARION. —We also hate the following from Walker and Marion: JACKSONVILLE, May 31, imi EDITORS CENTRE DEMOCRAT : Decora lion day was observed in a fitting manner at Snvdertown and Jacksonville. The Zion Cornet Hand furnished the instru mental music for the occasion and inter spersed the exercises with beautiful odes and dirges. A 10 o'clock, A. M. , the ears of the men, women and children, assembled in front of the Snydertown Union Church, were saluted by the patriotic strains of "Hail Columbia," announcing the arrival of the hand. The procession was formed under the direction of Mr. D. C. Walter, the following order: 1. /.ionCornet Band ; 2. The clergy ; 8. Soldiers of the late war ; 4. Children with wreaths and flowers; 6. Citizens in general. Arrived on the S round, where repose the remains of sol iers of the revolutionary war, the war of 1812 and the late war, prayer was offered by Rev. Mr. Irvine. The soldiers present placed beautiful wreaths received from the children, upon th grave*, and planted thereon the stars and stripes. After this floral offerings were made by all who de sires! to do so. Rev. George P. llsrtzell delivered the oration, followed by Rev. Mr. Irvine, a veteran, in a few pertinent remarks. The hymn prescribed by the G. A. R. was sung, and the services closed with the benediction. In the afternoon many of those who were present in the morning hastened to Jacksonville to participate in the cere monies there. Our usually quiet village presented a lively appearance. At an early hour the people came flocking In from all directions, both old and young, determined to make it a success. The order of pro cession was the same at in the forenoon, Capt. H. 11. Ilennison acting an marshal- Tho llaj; of our country wan borne aloft by veteran Smith in advance of the pro ceuion. The I'rexbytorian cemetery win llrat visited. A solemn dirge wax rendered by tho band. The preliminary devotional service* were held, and then tbe veterans performed their part in making prominent the retting placet of the fallen heroes with chaplets, flag* and flower*. Jtev. H. B. Wallen wan the orator of the occasion. All over here, tbe line of march wax resumed, beaded for tbe Reformed and Lutheran burying ground, where repose the axhex of three soldiers of tbe lab- war. Itev. 8. H. Wallen served ax chaplain. Soldiers and citizens paid floral tribute*. Beautiful pennons were unfurled over the graves, the same in miniature as that under which they marched and fought while liv ing. Itev. George I*. liart/.ell made a few remarks. The hymn was sung to the tune of Old Hundred. Itev. Wallen pronounced the benediction. Thus closed Decoration day at Jackson ville—a day long to be remembered. I be lieve that there were very few, if any, who did not enjoy it. More than one wax heard to say, "How beautiful I" This wax the tiret observance of the day at these places ; I do not believe it will be the last, fhu l'ost Commander requests your cor respondent, through your columna, to ex press hi* sincere and heartfelt thanks to the citizens for their liberal contributions of money to defray the expenses, and es pecially to the ladies and the children for tho interest taken by them in furnihirig flowers and wreaths with which to decor ate the nations dead. G. DECORATION AT OTHER I'LAC EH.— At Milexburg the day was observed with ap propriate and impressive ceremonies. The cemetery at this place, after Bellefonte, contain* the graves of more Union soldiers than any other in Centre county, and the honored remains that repose within their depth* received due respect on last Saturday. The arrangements for the cer emonial were in charge of Mr. A Bathurxt, and were carried out in a thoroughly praiseworthy manner. A large delega gation of soldiers from Curtin's Works, in charge of Captain Austin Curtin and also the Odd Fellow s lodge of Milesburg, participated in the ceremonies. John (. Love, Ksq., of Bellefonte, wax the orator, and we have heard his* oration highly commended by jrf-rxonx who were present. Music wax furnished by tbe Pleasant Gap band, and the religious part of the service wax conducted by Rev. Woodcock. —ln I'otter township we understand the Veteran Club paid the usual tribute of re. gard to tbe memory of their dead comrade*. Well provided with floral offerings, tbe Club, with a large number of others, re paired in the afternoon to the cemetery of Bprucetown M. K. Church, where nineteen soldiers of the late war sleep In death. Here services were conducted according to tho ritual of tbe G. A. R. Tbe club then returned to Centre Hall where mem orial servces were held in the evening. Col. 1). S. Keller was tho orator at both places. —At Millbeim a procession, beaded by the Millbeim and Woodward Cornet Bands, was formed in tho evening, which marched to the cemetery above the town where an impressive service took place, and the graves of the dead heroe* who lie there were strewn with flowers. A very large number of persons took part in the ceremonies and the address of Rev. Akers, of tbe M. K. Church, U highly spoken of by those who heard it. —We also understand that the day was suitably observed in Harris township and at other point* in Centre county but have not learned the particulars. Dis gratify ing to know that throughout our commu nity the memorial services were so general and as a rule conducted with so much good taste and judgment. —At Pleasant Gap we learn that the ob servance of the day was also most com mendable. We have no |*rticulars from this place, except that John G. Love, E*q. was also the orator there, the ceremonies taking place in tbe evening. CATTAIN LYTLE'H GRAVE.— From the Harrixburg Patriot we learn that due hon ,or was paid to the remain* of the late Isaac N. Lytic, formerly of Bellefonte, whose recent death at Trenton, New Jer sey, was noticed in the DEMOCRAT. Capt. Lytle belonged to Com[ny O, of the 148 th Regiment, P. V., and was a gallant soldier as every one who served with him will testify. Hi* body found epulchred in one of the* cemeteries of Harrixburg, and tho Patriot give* the following discription of the floral decoration* that wore placed upon hi* grave on last Saturday: "Some of the floral tributes placed on the grave of the late Captain I. N. Lytle, on Decoration Day were *o handsome that they deserve special mention. The widow of Captain Lytic arrived in this city on Friday and was tho guest of Post 58 Q. A. R., Wilson G. Fox, commander. The i lady brought with her from Philadelphia a magnificent flag made of immortelle*, tho color* of the flower* corresponding to thoc In the American flag. This elegant niece of workmanship D about three feet long and two feet wide, set upon a staff of proportionate length. In the centre of tbe flag tho following inscription was worked, "Captain I. N. Lytle, company G, 148 th regiment Pennsylvania Volun teer*." This flag was presented to Post 68, by Mr*. Lytle and by the Poat placed upon the grave of tbe deceived captain. It will be permitted to remain on the grave for a *hort time, and then will be placed in the hall of the Post. "A large and beautiful wreath of Im mortelle* was also placed upon the grave. The wreath was the gift of the two Grand Army Post* of Trenton, New Jerev.
