The Nation's Bereavement.
Monday night the sad news thatH
President Garfield was no more
flashed over the telegraph wires,
sending a thrill of sadness over the
world, and casting a gloom of sorrow
and sadness over the hearts of his
countrymen. The Chieftain is
dead. The- great heart that beat BOjjworthy to lead Republicans to victory
niddv in thnt mnnlv hnsnm 5 fnrovmlaiw led her regiments to war. Hi.-
nobly in that manly bosom is forever
silenced. The prayers and tears of
a mighty nation were of no avail in
staying; the edict
of fate. By the
cowardly hand of an assassin is he;
whom his country loved, and the
whole earth praised, laid low. The
mighty public sympathy goes out to
that aged mother, that loving, brave,
noble wife, those gentle children, for
their sorrow is our sorrow, their be
reavement is the nation's affliction.
The mourning draperies, tolling
bell, flags at half-mast, and men!
gathered together iu little groups,
discussing the sad news with bated
breath are but the outward indica
tion of that great sorrow which is
too deep for expression in words.
Well may the newspapers appear
with inverted rules for no such afflic
tion has visited this Nation since the
immortal Lincoln fell by the assas
sin's hand. In sackcloth and ashes,
with sorrow so great that other sor-J
rows seem small by comparison, we
mourn the death of this great and
good, this grand and noble man so
soon to bo onnfifWl to flip kvm!inr

the history of his country in an inef

march of the hoary old centuries
shall only make the brighter;. The
lesson of his struggles and triumphs,
his manhood and noble character
shall for ages inspire the hearts of
the youth of the land to lives of
nobleness and right. Immortal
Garfield, in your death there I
added another name to the galaxy ofi
bright immortals who will forever
be cherished and honored while the
bright starry banner shall proclaim
to the nations our freedom and our
strength. Lincoln and Garfield, our
martyred dead.

William T. Davies, of Bradford, whoQ
is competent in every way not only toll
be State Treasurer, but to be the Chieifl
.Magistrate of this Commonwealth.
Weeks ago he was suggested by the
best men in the Commonweulth. and
leading men in this very capital said
they would not oppose him. In two
weeks tnings nave taken a different
turn. Nobody Knows now, but it has
been done. Gentlemen, don't grind
us between the. upper and the uethei
uillslone.
Third. The vote resulted In 157 foi
Bai'y and 81 for Davies. Genera!
Fisher, of Chester, was at once on hU
feet, and he surprised the convention
with a fiery speech, recounting Gen
ral Daily's military record and pro
posing that the nomination be made
unanimous. General Fisher's speed;
coming from a Davies man and a
thinking county was just the sort of
thing needed to stir up the whole con
vention and send the delegates home
to open an aggressive Bally campaign.
He spoke as follows:
Mb Chairman and Gentlemen
of the Convention:.! stand before;

Chester county, of 10.000 Republican
voters, sent, litre under instructions to

those who know him, as a man of the
best capacity and the highest Integ

whom the people of Penusylvania can
readily trust with tho monies of the
State. While I may be of the opinion
that the manner in which his nomi
nation was pressed, and may feel that
Jthe masses would have preferred that
the choice of this convention had
been 8enotor Davies, I am bound to
acknowledge that I have carefully
watched the movements of his friends,
and they were, so far as my knowl
edge goes, only the ordinary, earnest
efforts to succeed, and having been
successful and their choice having

pacity aud integrity, and finding In
hiiu one who as a member of the gal

Mechanicsburg from the burning

thirty thousand strong held in cheek
amidst terrible slaughter seventy-five
thousand of the enemy; and with or
ganization unbroken again as the
forlorn hope to cover the rear of the
old army of the Potomao, stood a wall
of fire at Charles City Cross Roads
until by overwhelming numbers they
were overcome. But without enum
erating, we find General Bally
throughout the war was the patriotic,
brave and gallant soldier. Thus pre
sented to up, I cannot but believe it

An Ilerolo let.
(Brookvllle Roptihllean.
Wo have the pleasure of recording
the fact tht prof. T. II. Eaton,
brother of Mrs. T. K. Lltch, of this
place, and principal of the Forbes
School, Pittsburg, by his heroic con
duct saved a lady from drowning at
IChautauqua Lake Saturday before
last, while stopping at that delightful
resort. .
It appears that on Saturday evening
the Jubilee singers gave a concert on
the boat. Mrs. Eaton and others
jwent with the party, but the Profes
a . . . i, ji j .
sor, not leeiuig wen, uiu not go
When the boat returned to the pier
however, he Was there to meet his
wifo. As the boat was siding up
slowly to the dock, a lady whose
name has not transpired, fell from it
into the water, and most assuredly
J would have beeu drowned, had It not
been for Prof. Eaton's presence of
mum ana courage. He at once
jumped from the dock into the water
and then, securing a hold upon one of
the timbers of the dock, he thrust out
his leg, so that the lady could catch
hold of his foot. This she did, and
then ensued an exciting scene. The?
boat was closing in and there was
danger in two ways to both the par
tics in the water; from being crushed
between the boat and the dock, and
from being drawn beneath the boat.
Mr. Eaton is a slightly built man, andg
sixty years of age, While the lady was
twice bis weight. Although a good
iwinimer he was afraid to release his
hold on the dock, as he felt he would
be unable to support her in the water.
Observing the situation some gentle
men were enabled to reach him and
hold to his hands until a rope was se
cured. This was thrown to the lady.
She managed to tie it under her arms,
aid thus both she aud Mr. Eaton
were drawn from their perilous situa
tion. Mrs. Eaton did not know who
the rescuer of the lady was until the
whole thing was over, sopposiug the
laring man was the unknown lady's
husband. The act was a brave one for
i man of Prof. Eaton's years to at
leuipt, but at all events he is lionized
it Chautauqua, and is receiving praise
from all who witnessed the affair.
Shooting a Well.

John P. Zane's well on the LittlefSpower In finances, as it already

tract this morning In the presence ot
multitude who had surmounted the

this every convenient poiut in the

They say that hereafter for some years

is thus accounted for: The sun under

changes is from 11 to 13 years. Dur

Und heartfelt sympathy, and, keenly
appreciating the value of such a life to

hope that he may soon be restored to

for which he Is remarkably qualified
and from which by a peculiarly Infa
