Steadily as the daylight merges into
darkness, solemnly as the evening
shadows shroud the earth, and with a
warning to us all, each hour, of the
flight of time, the new clock in the
Court House towvr tolls the number
Indicated by the hour hau l. And
thus will It every toll, while the long
procession of e.ic'i succeeding genera
tion silently wends its way to the
quietness of that long repose which
eternity alo'ie shall breitk. The aged
will hear the toll with a tha ik fulness
that speiks to them of the glad!y
welcomed closing scene. The child
iiew'y-born will listen to the num
bered hours, us promising u future so
full of Joy and happiness. And the
lov.r bewail the few strokes that
warn him of daylight, and that he
must soon leave his sweetheart, and
hie him to the sober hum drum of
every day life From its watch tower
in the Court House steeple the clock
now new. will as it grows older und
older, count the hour of birth, that
ushers a soul into the world; the
happy hour that makes two souls one
in the bonds of holy wedlock ;
the changing, scenes of our ll'e at all
times and under all circumstances;
and Anally when clone with the bau
bles of time, mark the hour of oui
exit from the vanity of the world.
The clock was manufactured by the
Howard Clock Co. of Boston, Mass.
and was placed in jiu-ition by Mr.
Prescott an employee of the firm.
The diameter of the face is 8 feet;

HEPOUT OF aUN. HtJIDKKOPER.
Under date of Nov. 30, Gen. Hnlde
kopor reports to -Vdjt. Gen. Lntta : 1
have the honor to report that the
Fifth Brigade, to the command of
which I wa assigned when commis
sioned a Brigadier General In the
National Guard of Pennsylvania, lias
not materially change-d hi numbers or
In organization since the annual re
port from these ho.i iquarters lor tue
year 18T9, and that It, now, us then,
comprises the , Fifteenth, Sixteenth
and Seventeenth Regiments of In
fantry and the Tltusvllle Battery.
During the year the term of so
many men of Company C, 17th Regi
ment, expiree!, us to bring that organ
ization below a minimum us to
members, nnd it was deemed advisable
to disband the Company, which wa
elone, and to recruit a new one ut
Brad ford, which was admitted in its
J) I ace.
Company B. loth regiment, having
failed to show any disposition or
ability to Improve from the inferior
condition in which it appeared ill 187!)
was mustered out the service, and a
company was recruited in Its stead at
New Brighton. These two companies
passed their first inspection at Camp
Mayes in September, ond made
promise of a successful future.
A change was also made in the
command of the 17th regiment, the
resignation of Colonel Mageu lii'ing
followed by the election of Captain
Kurds, of Company B, as Colonel, un
officer whose experience and ability as
Captain made him a suitable person to
assume the responsibility of a regi
ment. Colonel Carpenter of the 13th
regiment, Colonel Wiley, of the li'tli
regiment, and Captain E.nery of the
Battery, have taken great interest in
their commands, and as a result of
their continued exertions the troops
were paraded for tho fall inspection
with fuller numbers and in a state
of greater excellency, in my estima
tion, than ever before.
The encampment ordered at Camp
Hayes in September was attended by
every company, and despite a contin
uous rain of thirty hoars, which
would have tried the temper and
discipline of seasoned soldiers, the
troops were kept under reasonable re
straint an.l instruction lor u week,
making such proficiency In drill and
guard duty as to enable me to con
sider the encampment a succ-sh, and
worthy of annual repetition.
I would, however, call your atten
tion to the advantage it would be to
the Commonwealth and to the country
at large to put every guar Isnian in a
position where a day's service for
regimental inspection in the spring,
and a week's service in imiiiii in 1 1
fall could be rigid. y cxacte I of him.
Tins could bo done by providing ade
quate pay for the timo given to this
service from the regular pursuits of
life, on which so many families de
pend for tiieir daily food. With Mich
an uhow.tnee, and wit.i provision for
enforcing obedience to the laws, regu
lations und customs of military service
tho efficiency of the Guard could be
raised to a standard little nhort of that
of the volunteer e-oliiier of the late
war
The General closes by a few sug
gestions and recommendations for the
good of the Guard.
The nearly 10,'JJO members of the
National Gu trd of the Mate have
been supplied with overcoats of the
regulation patient. The past few
day , ;J,800of theno garment!, have been
forwurded from the State Arsenal to
the 2d, 3d, and 4th brigades.
Gen.llartraiii'e and many of his o:
licers are working quietly but earn
estly to have the dilli'ient commands
of the National ' Guard of Pennsyl
vania participate in the inauguration
of President Gurlield on the 4 1 li of
March next.
There is some talk of holding the
next em; impotent of tho Fourtu and
Fifth Brigades of the National Guard

A Fatal Sleigh Itnio.
ICrio Kviailiijf Herald,
Last Tuesday Mr. and Mrs. Irwin
Stark, of Harbor Creek township, met
with a loss that was simply heart-rending,
inasmuch as they had unwit
tingly smothered their little baby girl
of from three to four month old while
out sleigh riding, by bundling it up
too close y, Mr. and Mrs. Stark had
been to ihe city on a shopping tour.
At Jacob Ha Iter's stoiv, preparatory to
starting for home, they warmed the
wraps for their babe und bundled it up
very carefully so as to protect it from
the winds. The child wa.su very pre ty
little thing and while being wrapped
up was uuusally bright and active'.
The precious little bundle wa put un
eler tne robes and the road, about nine
milts, covered in less than an hour
and a half. When the babe was taken
i mm what proved to be it deatli robe,
it was thought to be sleeping, and
several minutes elapsed ere the keen
I'.ye of i he fond mother elis ivercd that
she had been fondling a corpse. Mr.
Stark who had gone to stable hi.
horse waattracted by thescreanimf hi,,
wife, and upe n ha-teuiiig to the house
was informed of the sad state of aft'eir.
No surgical examination was math
hut the general supposition 1 that the
child Wu smothered by being' too
closly bundled up. The bereaved par
ent who have a number of friend
living In this city are almost distractcei
over the lo.-s of their child.

Using a compound which has saved
nearly every case that he has treated,
especially if taken in the first stages
of the disease, and ho has treated
thousands of cases.

Fourthly it gives an immediate ap
petite. In looking up the properties of this
compound I find it is good.
I have tried it. Others have trieel
it in this place and have not lost any
cases.
I am the sole manufacturer and
