Decoration Day. We arc pleased to
announce that the ceremonies attendant upon
the decoration of the graves of our fallen
heroes were very appropriately observed in
Stroudsburg on Friday last. The soldiers,
and citizens appeared to manifest a general
interest, and, notwithstanding - the rather
inclement weather, a large and imposing pro
cession proceeded to the several grave yards,
and performed their solemn tribute of respect
to the gallant dead. By special request we
herewith submit the address delivered '' me
Rev. J. F. Chaplain, of the Stroudsburg 31.
E. Church, at the Cemetery.
We arc met to honor the dead, ?who gave
their lives in defence of otir non s life. It
is proper that we should do it, and I trust wc
shall do it properly. .
iliinfs we nirist not do.
1. We must not so far forget the principles of
a genuine civilizalion ami ot true chrisiianity
which gives origin to it, as to dignify and enno
ble war. War is a gigantic evil. It U wreck
and ruin, disaster and death. It springs from
unholy passions and achieves the direst results.
It is a relfc of barbarism which the pacific and
hcnificcnl spirit of Christianity will most cer
tainly abolish. While the world was under
the domination of the military power of the
Koman Empire and war was dignified and en
nobled as a nasstKjrt to power and fame, the
modest but brave voice of primitive Christianity
did not fear to make itself heard on thu terri
fic subject. . "From whence came wars and
fightings among you ? Came they not hence,
even of your lusts that war in your numbers?"
Jos. 4: 1. Our Lord told Peter, when that im
petuous disciple had drawn the sword in de
fence of the person and life of his Master, "Put
up asain thv sword into his place: for all they
that take the sword shall perish with the
SV(
ord." Mat. 20:52. And Isaiah, forsceing
the millennial days which are yet to come, pro-
phecied by the inspiration of uou, "Ihevshall
beat their sword into plow-shares, and their
sjear8 into pruning hooks; nation thall not lift
up sword ajrainst nation, neither shall tney
learn war anv more." Isa. 2:1. It would le a
sad thing, if on Decoration Day or at anytime
we should so far yield to pntrioctic impulse as
to lose a remembrance of the altitude which
Christianity holds to war. Especially would it
be unfortunate now, after the successful resort
of this and a kindred nation to friendly arbitra
tion in a vexatious dispute which at any other
period of the world's historv would have led in
all probability to war; and while the obvious
advantages of this peaceful ami christian meth
od of adjusting differences is commending itself
so strongly to the common-sense anu jecuniary
interests of the nations, if not to their enligh
tened conscience, as to justify the hope that
the vast standing armies of European nations
will at no distant day be disbanded and that
another war between enlightened nations wil
never a "rain occur. W c must not sav a word
against, but sav all we can to help forward a
consummation so devoutly to b : desired. We
say ami do nothing to-day to dignifyand ennoble
war. War is as bad now as ever ; it is worse
than ever, because it is a sin against greater
light than the world has ever had.
2. Nor must we violate the'laws of good fel
lowship and of brotherly love toward that un
happy part of our nation who gave occasion for
the strife and bloodshed which have made
these craves, on which we come to spread How
ers. We can show our resject and love for our
brtthern who died fr us, whithout estranging
our hearts from the mistaken ones who slew
them and without crectinpr a barrier between us
and those who have different sentiments and
sympathies. .Sectional strife should cease. It
should never have existed. It should termin
ate at the earliest moment. If strife between
nations should cease, much more should strife
lietween different regiments of the same nation
be aIoIi-hed. This is a new departure of a
genuine abolitionism. The aim of old abolition
ism, which now by the grace and mercy and
bountiful blessing of (rod has been achieved,
was the extirpation of the only cause of malig
nant sectional strife slavery; the aim of this
pation of the strife itselt In the best sense.
'Let us clasp hands over the bloody chasm.'
Better still, let us so thoroughly renounce sec
tionalism as to have no chasm. There should
be none. I here is no proper reason why this
nation of ours should not be one in feeling and
in national aim and sentiment as it is one in
fact and in constitutional law. The . moral
bond of our unde-pised and unreluctant. but
cordial, full-hearted, generous brotherly affec
tion should bind us indissolublv into the high
est and purest tvpe of national unity. As the
geography of the country" by the bonds of
mountain chains and rivers makes us one in
iberty; as the unity of our Iansruapre,of our
social and business customs, of our laws, of our
nstory and traditions and of our religion
makes us one in all the elements of a true
nationality; and as the decision oftheGodof
battles has been given on the held of blood, in
the last resort to winch the nation was reluc
tantly compelled by the blow of its foe. that
this nation is one; it must be the province of
the cimsiiaimy oi tne laws ol a common Sav
iour to cement all hearts into an evergrowing
eveness that wifl know no termination. Let
this be our aim and work to-day.
But there are some thintrs we must do,
1. We must recognize the righteousness of the
cause in which these men whom we to-dav
honor lost their lives. War is always an evil.
The war against the national life was causeless
and iniquitous. But who will say that the war
in defence of our national existence was cause
less and iniquitous? Would it be wrong for you
to repel the man who was endeavoring to burn
down your house and seeking to desolate votir
home? ould it not be your duty to restrain
him with all your might? Would you be guilt
less if you tamely submitted and interposed no
opposition? Would not inaction in such an is
sue be a crime? And what less than the desola
tion of home, of couutry, of constitutional law,
the heritage of our revolutionary ancestors, the
hope of the world, of institutions worth more
even than the precious lives which were sacri
ficed iu their successful defence was involved
in the national cause? Was the nation tamely
to submit when its life was assailed and consent
to die without a struggle? Was it to have less
than the instinct of a brute and put forth no ef
fort toward self-preservation? Did the law Ithnr
of God or of man demand such cowardly, im
becile, suicidal passivity ? When the torch' was
about to be put to the colossal and beautiful
temple of Liberty, by those who confessedly
fought for slavery, niakms it bv their own rW.
Iaration the corner stone of their conf.ilprafv
and threatening as thev did to call the slave-
role .on Bunker Hill, was no hand to be inter
posed to prevent the mad attempt? Were tin
dearest rights of man to be sacrifice w ithout a
struggle .' Bad as war is, there are some things
worse than war, and the loss of this God iriven
government is one of them. The sword has its
legitimate place and use. The power that be
are ordained of God; and God's ordinance is
ior uie ruier not to bear the sword in vain. It
was not borne in vain by the ruler who was
pruviueiuiany raised up for us at the period of
our national crisis. He sadly and reluctantly
accepicu the issue which could not guiltlessly
be evaded. V oluntecrs by the million resn-
ucu rf W1C fiue ot the rebellion
7.V" ivouiu a ne cause in which these men
died was a righteous one.
2. We must cherish 6entimenLs Of ttrofrtiirt1
gratitude toward those who stood for the de
fence of our nationality, and especially toward
those who died for it. for that is all th
receive from us. These flowers are a small em-
oiera oi that gratitude. Will anv nno sav it
too much? By what standard are wp tn Ani
mate the gratitude we owe them 5 A
mine who saved a man from drowning told me
that the man lost no opportunity in manifest
ing bis gratitude. He never allowed himself to
uuak that the debt was paid, lie greeted him
new place of Aooiitionism, to which every prin
ciple of true religion, of sound national policy
and of individual interest binds us, is the extir
with deference ; he showed him all possible
kindness : he voted to elevate him to oliice ; he
spoke every where in his praise: The measnre
of that man's gratitude was his estimate of the
worth of the life which my friend, Hon. Wm.
Frazier of Maryland, had saved. Was not that
man's rule for estimating the gratitude he
owed a god one? Ami if it was good for him
is it Dot good for us? AVhcu we can properly
estimate the worth of the national salvation,
hich. under (Sod. these men have achieved
for us, we can estimate the debt of gratitude
due to thorn. What Ihev suffered for we enjoy
What tbev'dicd for we live to inherit. ere
t not that ilu'ir Mood was shed, where wouiu
. i ii
lvive been true republican institutions to-day?
where would have been the social fabric which
so efK rtuallv shelters our liberties? Where our
civiliziation? where, our prestige and renown?
where, the faith of the nations in tnecapaoiu
,.rir.m.vriiniiit ruMsessed bv an enlightened
people? where, the silent torce woiKii.g so ei
f.ftnallv all over Christendom, .bringing gov-
- t " " , . r
ornmxiitK more nnd more into assimilation to
our own? where would have been the grandest
iotiiicnl hones of the nations? As it is impos
i,;klo f.r t tii mnerive the depth of disaster
which would have been entailed had rebellion
succeeded, so are we unable fully to appreciate
the value of its defeat ; its value to me not-rated
millions of slaves; it value to the white
...nKimn In tlio formrr slave Estates: im vaiue
to the whole nation ; its value to the world ; its
value for all coming lime. Uur grauiuue w
these men should bear some small proportion
to the value of what wc have received from
I It Am
And, finally, we must so befitmgly on this as
well as all occasions recojrnize dod as to De
animated by the benignant, heroic, magnani
mous. cencrous. divine spirit which christian
itv instil rS-
'V mnst have the profoundest and intcn-
scst gratitude to God. We are grateful to
him ; but
"Twas not their courage or their sword,
To them salvation gave ;
'Twas not their number, or their strength,
That did their, country save.
"But thj right hand, thy powerful arm,
Whose succor they implored,
Thy Providence protected them,
Who thy great name adored." .
God has overruled all this for trood. He has
made even the wrath of man to praise him and
the remainder of wrath he has mercifully re
strained. God did not apjxint the rebellion
any more than slavery which caused it; but
he overruled it for the destruction ot slavery
and for the best irood of man.
We must learn lessons of wisdom from this
eventful page of our national history to guide
us in our future patriotic sentiment and devoi
edness to the maintenance of sound govern
ment. Did these men die for the preservation
of our cherished rights and liberties? then
must we live to perpetuate them : and so per
petuate them that there will be no necessity of
- .a r 1 . . t
another generation s having to light lor mem.
Let us be fair, and equitable, and honorable,
and true and pure. In politics as is every-
thine else, eenuine wisdom is ''first pure, then
peaceable." Whoever is corrupt and belliger
ent, we can choose the better pirt of purity and
peace. I.et us have peace, for these men have
bouzht it for ns with their blood.
We have come to graves to do honor to dead
men ; let us remember, my friends, that we
who live will soon be dead and that our graves
at no distant day will be alloted us somewhere
in this great grave-yard world. So let us live
with a true faith in our once crucified but risen
and glorified redeetner that we shall be fully
prepared for death ; and with more than the
grateful affection with which we strew these
flowers on these tombs, may multitudes arise to
call ns blessed and may our blessed Saviour
welcome us to the land of never-fading beauty
with those sweetest words "Come ve blessed
children of my Father, receive the kingdom
prepared for vou from the foundation of the
world."
THE LAST OP THE MODOCS.
CaptaiD Jack Captured.
Appleoate's House, Clear Lake,
Cal . June 13:30 P. M. A series of
prolonged yells and cheers aroused this
camp from a pleasant siesta a half hour
after tbe depature of my last courier.
Generals Davis and u hcaton and other
officers and all the men rushed from
house and tents to find the cause of the
uproar, and at once the whole camp was
n commotion. Down the level plain
north of the house was a grand cavalcade.
Mounted horsemen rushed, forward at
once at a furious rate, and soon neared

premises.

Important Strike Decision.

this city, 5,5'JO tuns of coal during Dec.
1870 They agreed to use "every effort"
to furni.-h the coal, but excepted them-
leives trooi lceepmg the contract in full
in case of "storms, disasters, strike " &c.
A strike occurred during the month, and
the plaintiffs sued for tbe price of the
coal, which the defendant bad refused to
pay. lhe defendant put iu a counter
claim, on the ground of the failure of the
plaintiffs to deliver the balance of the
coal. A referee decided this point in fa
vor of the plaintiffs, but certified that the
strike was caused by an attempted reduc
tion of wages by the plaintiffs. The de
fendants appealed to the General Term of
the Superior Court, and Judge Sedgwick
reversed the decision of the referee, yes
terday. It was urged that an exception
of "strike" does not include a strike
caused by the plaintiffs themselves, and
that to reduced wages is not to "make
every effort," as required by their con
tract, to deliver the coal Tribune.

THE WESTERN TORNADO.
IN KANSAS.
Osage Mission, Kan., May 27. The
most violent and destructive tornado ever
experienced in this section occured about
eight miles south of this city last Thurs
day afternoon. A whirlwind tctnpes
desolated a tract of couutry half a mile
iu width and six miles in length. Twenty
houses were lifted in the air and blown
to atoms. Six persons were killed out
right, six mortally wounded, and fifteen
dangerously injured. One little uir
carried a quarter of a mile and drowned
in a creek. Many persons were stripped
of the clothing, and birds of their feathers,
and a number of horses, cattle and hogs
were killed. Fourteeu families were left
entirely destitute.

The detailed accounts of the tornado
which caused so much destruction in

the approach of the storm say that it re
ecmbled a huge hay stack, funnel, or
oauoou in shape, with the email end
toward the ground. In a dispatch to
int isiucaijo Irtbunc .ihQ following is
remeu as having occurred in Keokuk
county: "Aear Skunk River woods a
nock of 1,500 sheep were quietly crazin
when the storm arose. With an instiuctive
dread 'they gathered in a circle, that
companionship might alleviate the sense
ol danger. They congreated directly in
the line of the storm, and when it came
it elevated them until, as an eye witness
expressed it, 'they looked like a floQi ol
birds.' They circled round and round,
the velocity of the inner current over
coming the attraction of gravitation, until
the centrifugal motion moved to the edge
of the cyclone, where, the velocity being
diminished, thev fell to the earth. Of
the 1.500, only 40 were found alive up to
this afternoon, and it is believed that the
remainder were killed. They were
absolurely divcllicated. Their remains
are found hanging on the trees and
bushes, and strewing the ground.

cd before the havoc of Iat summer was
repeated. The flames broke out in the
morning in a large furniture house on
Washington, street, and spread very rap
idly. Many stores, filled with valuable
goods, were burned. Chiekcring'a great
piano ware house and the Globe theatre
were quickly reduced to ruins. The fire
men worked with desperation, and by
noon the fare was gotten under control. -
The net loss by the couflgration is not
less than 51,250,000.
Au Iowa clergyman was just unreasona
blc enough to want his salary, aud when
the church failed utterly to pay him any
considerable portion of it, he sued and re
covereu judgment. lhe matter was
recently made the subject of iovestiga
tion by a council of inquiry, aud that
tribunal arrived at four solemn findings
r
viz: ':ihat the church did wrong in
failing to pay its pastor his salary ; that
the pastor did wrong in suing the church ;
that t lie church should apologize to the
pastor, and that the pastor should apologize
to the church." Jack Buusby would have
found it hard to beat that.
The story of a long and persistent pur
suit of a murderer by the son of his vie
tim is told in a Missouri newspaper. The
father of C ol. loung, a resideut of Cook
County Texas, was killed aud robbed on
the 1 1th of A pi il, 1872, by a man named

the Indian Territory, thence through
Arkansas and Louisiana, can into Mis
sissippi, and nortn through lennessoe
and Kentucky. Crossing the Mississippi
Kiver, the felou made his way throu gh
Arkansas, by the wigwams of tbe ludiau
Territory, thence through the mountains
and forests of Arkansas again, the hills
nd wilds of Southern Missouri, over
the prairies of Southern Kansas, down
the head-waters of Medicine Lod ge. and
among the Arrapahoes. On the 20th ol
ast January Col. loung lost the trail.
Ou the 8th of April a telegram from Fort
Scott informed him that Bunch had re
cently beeu in that place. Soon he was
there, only to learn that Bunch had left
or Lamar, in Benton Countv. From that
place Young traced him in StL-inn
Bolivar, Quincy, Warsaw. Scdalia. Ben
neville. Here Buuch was arrested, and.
after this long chase, has been identified

A Tery wealthy farmer of Titumlle
has this "notis" posted up in his field :
If any man s or woman s cows or oxen
gits in these here oats, his or her tail
will be cut off, as the case may be. I am
