RANDOLPH BRKKHE.—'The ad intelligence of tho death of the subject of this article, was received hero on Tuesday forenoon. That ho was lying dangerously ill at Newport, K. 1., was generally known, Gov. C'urtin and his family having been hastily summoned to his bed side, ilis death will be universally regretted by all in this community who were so fortunato as to form his acquaint* anco. His brief residence in Bellefonte was very pleasant to his largo circle of friends, lie was a most polished, elegant and accomplished gentleman. Ho had rare conversational powers and his mind was a perfect store house of Interesting knowl edge which ho had gathered in every quar* tor of the globe. He was as gallant a sea man as ever trod the deck of a ship, and like all brave men he was kind, gentle and modest in his manners, lie was married to Marcy S. Curtin, second daughter of Governor Curtin, on the 23d of July, 1873. Tho fruits of this marriage have been four children. One of the beautiful traits of Captain Breeso's character was intense de votion to his family. His wife and children were to him tho whole world and to be with them the greatest en joyment ho knew. This will make the blow to them all tho harder to bear. Captain ISrecse was almost constantly on duty and his visits to Bellefonte have been unfrequenl. But for the last year ill health compelled ' him to relinquish tho active duties of his profession and a great portion of that period ho spent in Bellefonte. Ho was born in Pennsylvania, but was as signed his position in the Navy from lthode Island in 1R I*l, and immediately found active servico during tho entire pe riod of the Mexican war. He served in the gulf squadron and was present at the seigo of Vera Cruz. After this he was stationed in many parts of the world, win ning promotion at different periods until tho commencement of the war of the Be hellion. Ho was then a lieutenant on the Portsmouth and commanded the third j division of the mortar flotilla at the bom bardment of Forts Jackson and St. Philip. Thence, through all tho operations about Vicksburg and in tho dangerous service which culminated in the attack on Fort Fisher and the subsequent operations on | Cape Fear river, CepL Breese bore a gal lant part. On more than one occasion ho distinguished himself and the record that will follow him to his last resting place is as proud and pure a one ns any man can hope to win. He wa associated with Ad miral Porter during tho entire war and repeatedly received tho thanks of hit com manding officer for Efficiency and zeal in | the discharge of his important and rcsjxin sible duties, Upon one occasion General Sherman, in an official report, warmly commended LieutenantCommand'r Breese ' for his hearty and effective co-operation in the combined attack upon Haines' Bluff. His record as a brave sad gallant defend er of the flag it written over the pages of the history of two wars. Had it not been for the spirit of favoritism that ruled tho administration of Hayes, Captain Ilrn would haro been made a Commodore. His distinguished services and his rank in tho navy entitled him to this distinction. But a number of names were unfairly placed on the rolls of the nary and Capt. Breese, with many others, was denied a Just recognition. If. >wover, earthly honors would not have preserved bis life to his sorrowing family and friends. He hat gone where the king and the peasant are equal. We tender to his stricken wife and his family our sincere and heartfelt sym pathy. ('apt. Breese had just passed his •Kith year, and the cause of bis death was heart disease. V. M. C. A.

Tho Boys in Blue, soldier* no lon ger, but peacoahlo cl vlliana, havo mot again and parted, not on tho tented field of con flict, hut in the sylvan rolroal of our littlo mountain city's pic nic grounds. For weeks, aye months, the chief topic of con versation. has been the Re-union pic nic of our bold "soger hoys." Ho absorbent was this topic that it eclipsed all other social gatherings, even the great Granger pic nic was seldom mentioned. Several days pre vious to the time, Mr- David Borrcll, Pre sident of the Spring Mills Veteran Club, called a meeting of tho veterans und citi zen* for the purpose of preparing for the occasion. Mr. George A. Rank was cho sen chairman, or Director General, of the the work, arid various committees appoin ted to get the grounds ready, and maka the noeessary preparation. A stand for the speakers was erected, arid tastefully decora led with evergreen* and flags. Commodi ous seats were arranged lor those who wish ed to listen to the addresses. Large tubs, or rather hogsheads, whrc placed in differ ent parts of the ground filled with iec wa ter, where the thirsty could quench their thirst. Every thing possible was doue to make tho meeting a pleasant and agreea ble one. On the morning of that day and while old Sol. was scarcely above the borison the crowd began to gather. They came from hillside and hollow, from mountain and from vale until it seemed as if tho very ••arth was giving up the dead, so thick and fast did they pour in. It is estimated that there wero three thousand persona on the ground. About '.i o'clock the veterans of the various club* were formed in lino on the green opposite the hotel by Chief Marshal Jno. R. Tale and Assistant Mar shals James Keniiellry and Will K rape, and at the command of "forward, march'' ail started for the picnic grounds at the foot of tho mountain. The meeting being railed to order by the President of the Centro County Veteran's Association was opened with prayer by Rev G. A. Marr. After various exercise* the crowd was dis missed for the purfxrae of refreshing the inner man. Table* loaded down with cakes, chickens, pies, and other edibles, 100 numerous to mention, were to he seen scattered throughout the grounds, to which the hungry ones were cordially invited. After dinner the audience was railed to order by General Beaver, who introduced J. Merrill Linri, af Lewisburg. As the train on which the *|>eaker was to return home, whistled soon efse'r he arose to s|x>ak, he cut it off very short, and closed by inviting us all to the reunion of the 61st regiment, at Lewisburg. Capt. Linn vii followed by Mr. Cassidy, of Ohio, formerly of Bellefonte, who paid a glow ing tribute- to Lis fellow-comrade* of Cen tre county. He wa* followed by Pennsvl vania's War Governor, ex-Gov. A. G. Curtin. who delivered a masterly oration on "National Patriotism." This was con sidered by all who heard it the crowning eff.rt of the day. Some very appropriate remarks were also made by President Taylor, of the Mifflin County Association, and by Capt. Marks, of Lewistown. Invitation* were then given to all old soldier* who were not members of the club to step up, fork over a dollar and have their name* put on it* roster, when the meeting was adjourn ed to meet next September at Snow Shoe.
