Company It at the Inauguration,
Company H of Rldgway, 85 strong,
attended the 'Inauguration of Presi
dent Oartleld at Washington. Leav
ing on a special train at 1:30 Thursday
morning we arrived in the National
capital at about BJ o'clock, there was
raging at the time a storm of rain and
sleet Which made an effort to leave
the car a very disagreeable one. In
spite of the storm, however, several of
the boys at once proceeded to take In
the sights of i he town.. The morning
of the 4th or March.l881,dnwnedonthe
capital city amid a gloomy rain which
bid fair to turn the glorious prepara
tions for the inauguration into a sad
failure. Sellers of seats on the,"prln
cipal line of the procession were will
ing to sell at ; any price with few
takers. The hour"! of eleven o'clock
brought a change lor the better In the
weather' prospects. The price of
tickets rose as the bouyant heart of
the great throng grew light with the
prospect, of a shining sun. A cold
northeast wind made standing stilt a
very disagreeable task, although when
the procession moved those In the
line were deeply sensible to a steadily
growing warmth which gradually de
veloped Into perspiration, so that when
the order was given for "double
quick 11 m", no one complained of
the cold wind as it served to cool off'
tbej heated browaof the boys. On
each side of the procession a dense
crowd pushed and shoved each other
to get a better view and It was with
great difficulty Hhe police were en
abled to keep the crowd back, In
several cases it being even necessary
to resort to clubbing. The great pro
cession was two hours 'in passing a
given point, and since Sherman's
famous review at the close of the war
there has not been so fine or grand a
procession In Washington. The
avenues of the city which are named
in honor of the several states, were
decorated with arches covered with
the national colors, and ornamented
with emblems commemorative of the
progress or chief traits of the States to
which they belong. That old chimney
on the banks of the historic Potomac
known as the Washington monument
also came in for its share of the honors
of the day. Two huge letters "G. W."
made of bunting were displayed on
two sides of the top of the monument
while numerous flags surmounted the
unfinished and unsightly pile.
After the parade the members of the
Company nt once commenced to take
in the sights of the city. And of all
the cities in the great Republic none
can be compared with the capital city
for the number and variety of things
of interest to the American citizen.
The capitol, situated like the capital
of ancient Rome on a hill, command-'
from its western front one of the finest
views mortal eye ever witnessed.
Entering the portals of this mngnifi
cent pile which occupies 3j acres, lias
been in course of construction since
1815, and has cost to the present time
about $1:5,000,000, the visitor reaches
the rotunda, 300 feet in circumference,
and which contains six magnificent
paintings costing each from $8,000 to
$10,000, commemorating acts of the
first existence of the Republic which
fire the heart of all lovers of our com
mon country, and kindle anew the
flame of patriotism in the breast of
each freeman. GozingTupward the
eye readies the wonderful allegorical
painting of Bruniidi. The distant
sight of this great fresco ;makcs us
anxious for a nearer view. Climbing
the narrow iron steps of the grand
dome we stand near this masterpiece.
A feeling of awe and veneration fills
the mind of the beholder. Could a
person go blindfolded lo the national
capitol, and see nothing but this one
work lie would be amply repaid for all
the trouble and expense it might be to
him. Ascending still higher we
emerge from thej dome and tanding
on the upper terrace lean over the
stone bulwark and from the several
points of the canipass take in the
magnificent views presented to the
eye. We made the ascent of the
dome in company with Jas. D. White.
The iron steps are just wide enough to
admit the passage of two persons. A
continuous stream of people mostly
soldiers, keeping to the right filled the
steps like an endless chain, one side
going up the other down, at times
such was the jam that one almost
wished himself safely at the foot
again. How long this stream was
kept up we know not, but when we
left there seemed to be no abatement
From base to summit, and around the
do:ue one continuo-is, moving stream
of humanity. In the stream the
Keystone boys were the most numer
ous, and ever and anon three cheers
and a tiger were given for Pennsyl
vania. Leaving this part of the building we
passed through the rotunda and
entered the gallery of the Senate
Chamber as the hands of the clock
indicated the hour of 10. Taking a
position next the reporter's gallery we
very fortunately fell in with ' the
gentlemanly correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer who pointed out
the illustrious senators as they entered
the chamber and otherwise made our
visit pleasant until the hour or 12 ar
rived, when Vice President Arthur
entered, the gavl fell, praver was
ottered by the Chaplain, and the
Senate proceeded to business. Several
motions were made. among which was
one granting to General Hancock the
the privilege of the floor or the
Semite during his stay in Washington.
Several Senators made lemarks,
especially Blaine of Maine, and Conk
ling of New York. After a short
session the Senate took a reces until
3 o'clock. After leaving the Senate
chamber we hastened to the cars to
wait three hours for the train to start.
During our wait several members of
the 8th regiment got Into a squabble
with a negro. They took the boy's
whip and after fooling with him
awhile handed it back. The negro
then ran to his cart and seizing a piece
of gas pipe about 2 J feet In length he
returned to the fruy. The captain of
the company remonstrated with him
to no avail, when on his continuing to
call the boys names, they made a rush
for the colored gentleman who ran
followed by the crowd. Turning on
his heel he struck the foremost soldier
with his gas pipe knocking him
flatter than a pancake. The hue and
cry was then raised and the way that
darkey took leg bail for security has
not been excelled In that section for
years. He escaped and it is well he
did.
No person who has visited Wash
ington for as short a time as wedid but
that wishes to renew the visit. A
gentleman on the train told a gentle
man from Rldgway that Washington
was ' the most interesting city on
the face of the globe, and he
had been in nearly all the principal
cities of Europe and other great
divisions of the old world. The
Capitol alone would consume days, were
one to examine the numerous works
of art that abound In the gigantic
structure. Then the other places of
interest would occupy weeks and
weeks, and still , the mind woulo not
tire of the endless panorama of won
derful sights to be seen In the Amer
ican capital. "See Naples and die"
was the proverb of those who lived In
other climes, but see Washington and
live with a firmer belief in the stabil
ity and grandure of our institution1'.
No American should fill to visit the
Capital city, if only for a day, for then
would all say with the feeling of pride
that swelled in the breast of the im
mortal Webster, "I was born an
American, I live an American and
with the grace of God I shall die an
American " Time has proved in the
location of the Capital as In many
other mutters the great wisdom and
foresight of the founders of the Re
public. Volumes have been written
on tliis subject, and yet other volumes
can be written and the subject not
be exhausted.
To see Washington is good but to
see the city on the occasion of the
inauguration of a President is better.
Countless thousands of people cluster
around the grand stand at the east
front of the capitol to witness the
inauguration of James A. Garfield.
He steps with manly tread from the
ranks of the common people to take
in his hand the scepter of authority
over 5-3,00:1,003 of people, and there is
no objection. No family name makes
liis title to the the position secure, no
long line of ancestry backs his com
ing. Quite the contrary. From the
towpatli to the presidency is the tale
of his elevation, illustrating the daz
zling possibilities that are within the
reach of every youth in the land who
is willing with patient toil and honest
purpose to clime the towering ladder
of fame. What one man has done
another may do. At the same time
we see another man step from his ex
alted place back to the ranks of the
common people. In this act is the
grundure of our free institutions made
more transparent. And more firmly
are we grounded in the belief that the
foundations of the government laid
by Washington, and Jefferson, sup
ported by their children will be secure
and sound even after the march of the
relentless centuries shall have crum
bled the pyramids into dust and
lowered the majesty of the column of
Trojan.
The night of March 4th ushered in
one of tiie grainiest display of lire
works that the city liad ever known.
The crowd was nn immense one that
witnessed the sublime sight. Such
a pushing and surging mass we had
never mingled among, and it was
with great difficulty that a foot hold
could be retained. From the Capitol
to the Treasury building where the
main fireworks display was made,
which is a distance of one and a half
miles down Pennsylvania avenue, a
den-e crowd of men, women and chi'd
ren, tilleifto packed suffocation the
broad thoroughfare.
Leaving Washington at 5J o'clock
Saturday evening we arrived at Rldg
way Sunday evening at about 0
o'clock. Quite a change, commencing
at Harrisburg was noticed in the as
pect of Nature. While at Washing
ton the weather was fine, and the
snow nearly all vanished, .we were
now confronted with snow from eigh
teen Inches to two feet in depth. And
as.Capt. Scheening.marched the com
pany into town l.e took particular
pains to march us through snow up to
our waists.
All agree that the trip to Washing
ton was a great success.
And that the hoys with Keystones
on their caps took the cake there is
no doubt. In all the crowds no mat
ter where you looked the Pennsyl
vania boys were there. We are in
formed that our noble old state fur
nished 7,000 men for tills holiday oc
casiou. Asa closing thought, were
the holiday to become a stern reality
of grim war, we know that the old
Keystone state would send 200,000 men
to the front, who would he as willing
now as those boys of twenty years ago
were to uphold the dignity and honor
of the grand old Commonwealth.

Obituary,
Mrs. Clarissa Willard, relict of Wil
liam Willard, departed this life at
Willlamsport, Pa., at one o'clock,
A. M., Feb. 10, 1881, at the age of
87 years, 9 months, 21 days
Mrs. Clar!sa Willard was the
daughter of Gad and Jerusha Lamb
and was born In Springfield, Mass.
April 2G,1703.She came with her fath
er's family in 1790, and settled near
Mansfield then in Northumberland
county afterwards in Lycoming and
now in Tioga,, they being the first
settlers. The Indian title to that sec
tion of Pennsylvania became ex
tinct by purchase In Oct. 1784, but all
that region was claimed to be a part of
Connecticut and disputes arising from
tliis mixed state of affairs were fre
quently settled with the shotgun.
The farm which they cleared up was
surrounded by an unbroken wilder
ness in which the bears, wolves, pan
thers and Indians roamed at large and
In force, and whoso prowling and
howling visits were of daily occur
rence. Accustomed during herinrancy
to these surroundings she developed
more than ordinary masculine cour
age. No sudden emergency unnerved
her and she shrank from no necessary
danger or difficulty. Their isolated
situation ' compelled the family to
draw largely'upou hotne talent and
she thus acquired a variety of attain
ments that would perhaps astonish
some more modem maidens. She
thoroughly understood cookery as
practiced among the white settlers
and also the preparation of many
dishes peculiar to their Indian neigh
bors; she wis well posted in the rais
ing and rotation of farm crops, as
well as garden products and fruits; she
thoroughly understood the care of live
stock, and excelled In horseman
ship; she was an adept at spinning
and weaving arid for years she took
the raw wool from the sheep and
the flax from the field and by her en
ergy and skill carried them through
the various processes until they were
transformed into all manner of under
and outer wear for herself and family.
During the war of 1812 she made a
greut deal of clothing for the army
besides spinning large quantities of
yam which her aged and infirm father
learned to knit into socks for the
"boys in blue" .She could tan a deer
skin to perfection and make it up into
gJoves, moccasins and slipper-;, and
the writer has seen more limn one
creditable specimen of her cobbling in
heavier leather. Besides these and
various other accomplishments which
nowadays are not considered orna
mental she became proficient in fancy
needle work, painting and music, and
her education, though confined to her
mother tongue, whs more general
and thorough than was usual in those
times, covering a wide scope of Eng
lish literature. To the last she was
a great reader and kept herself ac
quainted with all the important politi
cal and other movements of the day.
and aided by a very retentive memory
she was good a ithority in regard to
public occurences during the lust
seventy-five years, and her letters in
cluding those of the last year show a
refined education, a brevity and di
rectness of expression, and a clear com
prehension of the exact force of each
word, rarely to be found In combi
nation with so many useful and com
mon place attainments.
On Dec. 31, 1817, nlie was married to
William Willard, Esq., of Tioga.whose
family came from Lenox, Mass., with
whom she lived 23 years having ten
children, of whom five only survive
her. In 183!) the family moved from
Tioga to Willianisport, where her
husband died Oct. 10, 1813 leaving a
large estate principally In Tioga Co.
but in such confusion that the whole
of it became scattered to the four
winds Eight of her children were
then living and only the oldest one was
able to provide for himself. With the
bravery of a Spartan and the devotion
only to be found In a loving mother
she undertook the task of keeping her
family together and giving them a
fair education. During a season of
great privation she furnished her
young family with the necessaries of
life by the sale of little useful articles
and toys which her early training en
abled her to make out of nothing and
even her most intimate friends were
astonished to see so much determina
tion, skill and ingenuity when they
expected to find only feminine frailty.
With such a mot her success was cer
tain and she lived to see every one of
her children decently educated and
occupying positionsof trust equal to
the more favored. She died a Christ
ian at the ripe old age of 88 and could
say with St. Paul "I have fought a
good tight."

In Memorlum of May Barrett
"Tl a Wink! of an eye, 'tis tin draught of a
brcttth,
From the blossom of health to the stillness of
death."
A few brief weeks since May, with
a number of other little girls, of about
her own age, celebrated the eleventh
birth-day of their playmate, Belle
Hartly, at the house of Bell's father,
Dr. Hartley. Fun and frolic ran riot,
while many a laugh rang nut, that
happy afternoon, as they frisked about
In their Innocent glee. Little they
thought that the death angel hovered
so near one of their number.
May complained of a slight head
ache in the evening, ami went home
sick. M easels were soon developed.
She had apparently passed successfully
through the disease when she suffered I
a relapse and decline which culminated
in her death on Sabbath eve the 27th
ult. Her funeral was at 10 o'clock on
Tuesday the 1st Inst, in the Episcopal
Church.
She was borne from her home In a
beautiful casket richly lined with
beautiful flowers, the tribute of kind
and loving friends. The church was
filled witli the sympathetic friends
who had gathered to pay their last
respects to all that was mortal of poor
little May. , Rev. Hugh Miller, of
Emporium, conducted t he services
and delivered an excellent address.
He spoke of the "wonderful mysteries
of death," of Christ who first un
barred the gates of the tomb and who
threw a halo of light o'er its similes.
In grnpic words he pictured the resur
rection morn when "the sea should
give up its dead" and those that are
buried come forth and this "mortal
put on immortality" in response to the
words of our savior "I am the Resur
rection." As the procession filled past us.down
the aisle of the church, we were struck
witli the beauty or the floral cross and
Calla lilly, which lay upon the casket
and thought 'tis an emblem of the
Immortal flower, now blooming In the
garden of Paradise.
We had often, In Sabbath school,
looked with pleasure upon the class of
eight little girls, all neorly of an age,
and now, one Is not, for God took
her. A vacant snot in the heart of
teacher and class-mates and a desolate
home has she left; but truly may she
sing now, "And I among the Angels
shine."
TO THE MEMORY OK MAY.
There'll monnlng in the nlr,
A dtrgo In ev'ry hrecise,
A untitling ev'ry where,
And e'en the very trees
Wall forth n mournful sound,
As tliey benil to the storm;
While ileitr ones gnther 'round
A loved and (lying form.
We stand beside the bed
And wiiteh the mule appeal,
While not a word we snid
As fust the shadows steal;
While deeper trrew'the shade
ITpon the. pallid brow. .
Her eyes begin to fade.
Our hearts in anguish how.
As fainter grew each breath
And dimmer grew the eye,
We thought, ran tills be death ?
And Is it thus we die?
This temple Ond lias niaJe.
This wond'rous mortal form.
Oh. must it surely fade
And perish lu death's storm?
As fades the day at eve
In the bright summer time,
When gentle lepliyrs breathe
Low sighB amid the pine;
Bo passed her spirit out.
In low and mournful sighs,
While weeping friends about,
In anguish close her eyes.
Soft, be each bouyant tread,
And let each voice be low.
The presence of the dead
Deep fun'ial shadows throw;
While 'round me o'er and o'er,
I feel its silent power,
Increasing more and more
Willi each dread solemn hour.
Asa crushed and broken (lower,
Robbed of Its sweetest bloom,
Lends fragrance for the hour
Which saw Its early doom;
So does tills human rose,
Clucked by our Father's hand.
Lend peace to our repose
And Joy at our command.
For mem'ry quickly bring
From out its richest store.
A frngrance which it flings
Without Its open door;
The pranks and sweetest ways
Of this, our humiin (lower,
Tlieiv Cheered the toilsome day
And lightened many an hour.
And as we linger 'round
These mem'rles as they flow,
We listen for the sound
Of her notes soft and low.
We note the vacant chair.
We see the unused book.
And een the very air
Heems mirrored with her look.
We miss her bonny face.
We miss her cheery-voice.
We miss her from her place
'Mid playmates of her choice;
The cheek we loved to press,
With many a loving kia
And ev'ry fond caress.
How sadly do we miss.
Hark ! through this night of woe
A voice now whispers "peace,"'
' On Me thy sorrows tlir.y.
And let thy mourning cease;
I he cherished flower you love
And nourished with great care,
Transplanted now above,
Yields sweeter fragrance there."

C. ima out In u a Ilium.
To get ready for the trip,
That wns coming so soon.
To attend the inauguration,
Way down Washington,
fivcry thing ijeing ready,
The boys all but a few,
Lea their native village,
With the many boys In blue,
With Capt. Scheming and Woodward,
At the Company's head.
nut poor Lieutenant Horton,
Was In his little bed.
Cur trip from hom to Washington,
Passed otr very neat,
But the hoys would oft remark,
"Who was It broke that seat."
The weather was very fair,
Till we passed through Baltimore,
Then rain, snow, and sK'et
Down on our car did pour.
Jtoxt morning the boys were astir,
After a long and tiresome ride,
And formed In line of inarch,
On the Potomac sunny side.
We marched straight to the Capitol,
Where thousands stood to gaze.
Where stood the famous Oartleld,
Escorted there by Hayes.
The decoration of the houses,
Was splendid to behold.
But the beauty of the fireworks,
I think, never can be told.
Next morning with orderly Parsons,
We walked out on the street.
And visited the Senate chamber.
And saw Arthur take his seat.
At seven in thecvcnlng,
We bid Washington adieu.
With many thousand others,
Of the jolly Boys In Blue.

The talk of the city to-niymt is
ahout the Pennsylvania contingent of
Militia which marched in the Second
Division Gov. lloyt rode witli Gen.
Hart ran 't at the head ot his liody of
National Guiii'dsmnn, and may very
well le proud of them. By the time
tliis division readied the head of tiie
avenue the street was entirely dry and
(lie wind was already Hinging light
clouds of dust into tiie air. The cuti
ditions for marching could scarcely
have been better, so the 18 regiments
from Pennsylvania marched aloiif;. all
dressed in a'simple.servicealile uniform
with kmipsucks and blankets rolled
upon them. They evinced a marvel
ous degree of discipline, their num
bers seemed interminable, and before
the 7,500 or 8,(KW men had passed a
give point they had very powerfully
impressed everybody who saw them
Willi the spirt and a'dmirable bearing
and drill of the . Keystone State
Militia. Their marching was equal to
that of anything In the line. Extract
