water, and sometimes lime to increase

ABOUT AIITENDING FUNERALS.
At this time, when contagious dis•
eases are so prevalent in all parts of
the country, people cannot be to
careful. as to exposing themselves.
Perhaps there is no more prolific
source from which such discnwsare
disseminated and spreaCL than the
funerals held over the remains of
those 'who have (lied from_ them. In
regard to attending such funerllA,
and the danger therein, not , to
the attenflants timsnst lvee, lust toall
with whom they may aftek.ward come
in contact, the Laneaiter E.r;/•niner
sounds tkie:following notes of warn-
ing and. of caution. The advice is
as : afrplicable in :adfo rd in ban
cd.ster county, and we trust it ina . Y be
read and followed. 'Just at pres•erit
theie is need of extraordinary can-
tiim on the part of every one, if the

vented in-our midst: The Era mine,
says . : "A false . idea prevails that
we should attend the funerals of those
who may - have been simply friends
or acquaintances, on the ground that
sodoing, is showing respect to the
family of the deceased. To express
sympathy is all right and pr4per, fur
it is as necessary asunshine but
to force our presence upon weary
mourners, simply tcobe seen by them,
or what is worse to attend a funeral
out of mere morbid curiosity, is wrong
and almost inhuman. Sorrow for a'
lost one is a very personal and holy
feeling, and its wail should not be
lifted by unsympathetic hands. Aside
from considerations of this kind there
are other reasons why it is wrong to
attend every funeral; and the simple
answer is, disease may spread. To
a certain extent diphtheria is prevail
ing in our midst—not only An Lan
caiter, but in certain sections of the
county. The disease is -Contagious,
and nowise parent who has small
children-should go to, or be expected.
, to attend, a funeral of one .
died of: this dread malady. ' In Yeti ,
many cases te germs of disease hive
been taken from the-house of death.
and scattered far and wide by per
sons who kindly, but thoughtlessly
attended a funeral. Scarlet fever;
measles and all the various contagi 7
ous diseases should be kept at a dis-I
tance if possible and no one is wise
who willingly offers himself as an
agent to spread the- pest. In the
country it is the, habit to. come from .
far and wide to the funeral of a
neighbor` without thinking about the
danger or the•remOte effects of such
going.; It is not heartlessness, but
the kindness of wisdom, to remain
from the house of mourning` when
you are not needed and may do harm
in bearing away disease germs. -Let
it be understood that no one is ex
'
petted to attend the fUneral . ar one
who has died of some contagious dis
ease, and all will 1;e - well. Sympathy
with affliction cannot be shown by
deftly going to Ike house of mourn
ing, and in our day there are bat few
so foolish as to find consolation in a
long :procession following- the body
of,a loved one to the grave. Custom
oft gives sanctity to false ideas.- Our
artiOcial reasons for attending funer
als ihould be done ;away with. So
we say t alwayashoir in some kindly
way, your sympathy with mourning
friends ----but do not' jeopardize your
own Vow circle by,courting danger.
And to, those who mourn we say,
that a friend's sympathy is oft, the
'deepest, when it does not parade
itself from the housetop and the wis
est when it thinks of all the living as
well, as for Close who weep."'

THE GITITEAII TRIAL.
WEDNESDAY.
In the `Guiteau case Wednesday
Mr. Scoville, ler the defence, filed an
affidavit asking to be _ permitted to
call nine other witnesses, and stating
what he expected to prove by their
testimony. The Court decided against
the application in general, pertnitting,
however; the defeni:e to attempt to
show that, on the day of shooting
President Garfield, the assassin had
claimed to be inspired of God. J. J.
Brooks, Chief of the Secret Service
division of-the Treasury Department,
was called fOr this purpose, but he
swore that Guiteau had not made
such a claim to him.,A. letter writ
ten by the assassin's father in 1875,
in which he pronounced his son a fit
subject for a lunatic asirldra was
read. The defence was then declar
ed closed. The law points of the
Government were submitted to the
Court and an adjournment was had
to Saturday to enable the defence to
prepare its law points.
SATURDAY.

Court granted the jury leave to be
absent from the court-room While the
argument upon the. law points was
being, heard. - Mr. Davidge opened
the argument for the Government
And dwelt upon the question -'of the_
prisoner's legal responsibility' citing
--the decision laid down -by
jurists in the 3leNaughten case as a
guide. Judge Porter read a portion
of the charge of Justice Noah Davis
in. the Coleman case. For the de
fence 111•'r. Reed claimed that the
question of malice , in _Guitilas act
must be left for the jury, and that
the prisoner should have theibeirefit
of any reasonable doubt of his sanity.
Mr. Scoville's argument was: not con
cluded. Guiteau annoyed the counsel
by his interruptions, as usual.
In the Guiteau case Monday, Mr.
Scoville resumed and concluded This
argument for the defence upon tthe
law points. Me endeavored to show
that the decision in the,Mcniughren
case has for years ceased to be an
authority, • either in 'England or
'America. Ile asserted that the words

in the Coleman case were mere obiter
dicta not entitled to consideration.
Ile also claimed that malice in law
was and not deliberate inten

a brief argument on the' subject of

question having been raised., by the

Since my last report from this place, a
solemn change has taken place—the death
of Charles F. Lake,- one of our' most
prominent citizens, who died at his home
in this place on Tuesday morning at about .
four o'cloilc, after much suffering. Mr.
Lake was been 'near this place stlxiut the
year 1837. He leaves a wife and One son,
"Frankie," (as ibis father used to call
him), in good circumstances. Ills funeral
sermon was held in the Baptist Church,
at this place, on Thursday,', at one O'clock
P. It., conducted by Revs. fl. M. Biter,
Baptist, M. D., Fuller, Methodist, of Skin
ner's Eddy Church, and David Craft,
PresbytAlen, of Wyalusing Church. Mr.
Craft's'aertrion is spoken of by mtny of'
his:hearers in mos appreciable terms, as
being very, appropriate. The body was
conveyed to the cemetery in Lacey street,
over a mile-from the Church, _ by . -Grego
ry's hearse, followed by a large koCea
sion. of Masons and Railroad men, friends,
and .citizens. At the grave, the Masonic
ceremonies were performed by James IL,
Codding, of Towanda, assisted by J. IL
Edwards and T. A. James, of Laceytiilla.
We are reminded of the remarks of Rev.
Mr. Crbft, saying Charley was a good
man, loved best by_those who knew him
best. Well may the widow mourn' the
loss of a dear husband, never to meet
with him again on this •earth, and well
tnay the son Frank mown the loss of his
dear, dear father, and we hope Frank
will strictly adhere to the teachings of his
father, and by so doing he will so gm*
up a man and an honor to soci'ety.
