Associate Judge Hon. C. R. McCarthy, of
Huntingdon county gives, his opinion on
the license question. He says : "I am op
posed to the granting of license from the
very fact that the Court that grants it may
be compelled to sit in judgment on crimes
of the most diabolical character, being the
direct outgrowth of the 'icense they have
granted.
"I cannot join in the granting of license.
I believe it to be a sin. I would have to au
swer for it at the Great Day.
"I oppose the granting of license for the
reason that no good can result from it, and
much evil may. 'Woe onto him thst giv
eth his neighbor drink, that putteth the
battle to him and niaketh him drunken al
so." Xow, while I believe I would not be
directly guilty of committing this crime
that is so strongly forbidden, by the grant
ing of license, I am unable to see why I
ibould not be indirectly guilty, when by
my act I give power to another whom I feel
confident will hand the bottle to his neigh
bor until he has made him drunken, and
who dare not move his hand without my
permission, as a matter of justice I am op
posed to granting license to a few and refus
ing the balance. I think none should have
it or all."

Comrtitla, gout of Vettrant, Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have met uuder very peculiar, solemn,
and impressive circumstances on this Mem
orial day, to pay auother tribute of respect
to our fallen comrades, by strewing flowers
and wreaths upon their graves. We love to
cherish in sweet remembrance, the patriot
ism, the loyalty, and the daring deeds of our
comrades who died in defenseof our homes,
our fireside and those grand principles so
near and dear to every loyal American cit
izen. These principles were founded by our
great ancestors. They knew what was right
and what was wrong, and when the mother
coaiitry imposed burdens too grievous to be
born, our forefathers rose in their might
aud declared themselves free and independ
ent, and after a long and bloody war, their
independence was acknowledged and fully
established. What joy thrilled the souls ef
those noble patriots, when they could return
to their homes, and engage 111 the pursuits
of industry, and realize that fbey were
American frtenien. They fought for a
grand principle, that all men are eimal, all
men should be free, and those pnncioies
have been kept inviolate, handed down
from generation to generation, and tbo lib
erties we enjoy to-day, is the result of the
loyalty and patriotism of our ancestors; and
palsied be the tongue that ever utters one
treasonable sentence, and powerless be the
arm that will ever attempt to strike one
blow at our national I'nity.
But there was a time when the dark
clouds of treason hung over our land, as
black as Egyptian darkness, the lightning
flashed, and the thunder of war rolled, that
shook our Government from centre, to cir
cumference, and our glorious flag, the em
blem of the free, was insulted, trailed in the
dust by traitor hands. But the patriotism
of our noble fathers, sons and brothers was
aroused. The notes of the bugle was sound
ed, the battle-cry of freedom was sung
throughout the loyal states, and from the
mountain, hilu and valleys, the hardy
sons of the North i arched to ihe thrilling
strains of martial music. They rallied
around one common standard, to crush a
foe, that had insulted our fl.tg, and was at
tempting to destroy this I'uion of States.
Comrades, we remember those years of
suffering, anxiety, horror and bloodshed.
We remember the march, the bivouac, the
picket line, the skirmish, the rush and the
roar of battle. We remember how out Com
rades were smitten down by our aide, and
in front of us, and how we marched ou over
them to the final victory. To-day we seem
to be living over the past. u, what mem
ories rush in upon our minds. Comrades,
we are here to do honor to the noble
dead, who fell in our holy cause in de
fense of our glorious country. During
those dark days there was scarcely a family
that did not modrn over th-i death of some
loved one, who died in defence of our na
tional integrity and unity. This union is
dear to every loyal heart, because it has
been sealel and cemented with the life-blood
of our kindred who were loyal, noble, true
and brave. v
If the noble men who fell in defense of
our country during the great war, were to
spring jnto new lite, there would stand p
an exceeding gret army ; nearly half a
million would answer to their names at
roll call, lu my thoughts I seem to hear
the roll call of death sounding along the
slugish waters of the Chickahominy, on
Manasses Plains, at South Mountain, An
tietam, and Fredericksburg. The .iiiih roll
is being called at Donelson, Shiloh, Vicks
burg. Stone River, Chicamauga, and Look
out Mountain. That roll call of death is
sounding along Sherman's march from
Shattanooga to Atlanta, and from Atlanta
to the sea. It is roll-call at Cbaucellorsville,
Oettysburg, the Wilderness, Spottsy lvania.
Cold Harbor, front of Petersburg, and Rich
mond, and ends at Appomattox. Think of
the numbers slain ou those bloody fields,
and if they cou'd resoond to their names at
roll call, how many would answer here.
And we the survivors of the great war, love
to do honor to our fallen comrades, by pay
ing this tribute of respect to our noble dead.
God forbid that we should ever fall so low
as to neglect this beautiful and solemn cer
emony, or forget the principles for which
our comrades laid down their lives. May
Memorial Day be kept in sweet remem
brance while a veteran of the great war
shall live, and may our children, and our
children's children ever do honor to the
noble dead who have fallen and who may
fall in defense of our country.
Why do we keep this Memorial anniver
sary day ? Merely to decorate the graves of
onr relatives? We answer. No, but to re
member our comrades, who fought by our
side, and who laid down their lives for the
land they loved. Some of our comrades
grave may be neglected to-day , for some ol
them fell on the mountain top. or o the
hill side, or in the wood, or on the bank of
some river, or by the side of some murmur
ing brook. Their last resting place is not
known to man. Let us think of them and
drop an extra bouquet in grateful remem
brance of them.
I am glad to see such a representation ot
the Sons of Veterans with us to-day. May
the love of country till your hearts with pa
triotism and loyalty. At the breaking out
of the great rebellion, twenty-five years ago,
these gray haired veterans were then, like
you to-day in the vigor and bloom of young
manhood. They endured the hardships of
that long and bloody war U perpetrate the
liberties we and yoa all enjoy to-day. We
look back with pride to the work we accom
plished by the help of Almighty God. Yet
sorrow and sadness fills oar hearts when we
think of our comrades who full by our side.
Sons of Veterans we look with pride upon
you and the noble yonng men of our land,
because we think the same patriotism that
burned in the hearts of y onr fathers, thrills
your souls, and that you will be fully quali
fied to take the places of your ancestors,
either in the pursuits of peace and happi
ness, or in the dread realities of war. We
are glad to say, onr glorious Union is undi
vided, our flag is unsullied ; not a star has
been erased, and when our country's honor
is placed in your bands, yoa will defend all
her interests. Be loyal to our country, loy
al to our flag and loyal to onr God.
I feel that I cannot close without thank
ing the ladies for their patriotism and loyal
ty daring the great war; for the help ren
dered to our comrades, and the help mani
fested in these memorial services. There
may be mothers bere who gave their sons,
wives present who gave their husbands, sis
ters who gave their brothers as a sacrifice
for our country. God only knows the an
guish you endured. ; but you were able to
make the sacrifice lor the love you had for
onr country. I tell yon comrades, with
such mothers, and such wives to train the
rising generation, the honor and integrity
of our pouutry is safe and secure.
There was a coronation day when the war
was over. A grateful nation honored the
noble men vfuo bad saved the country.
They crowned them with praise and honor
! for the nohleservice they had reaL-red. We
J love to crown the graves of onr fallen com
rades with flowers and wreaths. But we
j look forward to another more grand and
glorious coronation day, when all God's ar
mies shall come marching borne, when his i
valiant soldivrs, victors, crowned kings and
priests in the kingdom of our Cod. May
we all be able to say here, at roll call, "And
mav the Captain of our salvation say, well
done."
At the close of the address the procession
again formed and o.arched to the Reformed
Cemetery and decorated the graves of the
veterans there. From there they marched
back to the place of starling and disbanded
The handsome appearance p reseated by the
Sons of Veterans in their natty new uni
forms was commented upon on all sides.
Business was practically suspended during
the time occupied in the ceremonies while
many ot the business houses were decorated
with flags and bunting.
THE DAT AT VESJ5A.
The dav was generally observed here; bus
iness was suspended. Promptly at 10
o'clock, a. m. Ross Rush Tost. No. 361. G.
A. R. assembled at their headquarters, to
gether with Jesse Dial Camp, Xo. 32, 8. V.,
and after short exercises, they formed into
line and marshalled by Comrade CoL E. D.
Yutzy, marched to the M. E. Church, where
public exercises were had. Short addresses
were delivered by Prof. J. M. Berkey, J. L.
Pugb, Esq., L J. Miller, L. C. Colborn, and
F. W." Biesecker, Esqs. After the exercises
at the church the procession formed and
marched to the Post room where farther ex
ercises were had, together with firing the sa
lute. The day was a beautiful one and a
large number of people were in attendance
at the services.
The following address was delivered by
J. L. Pagh, Esq.: ...
Comrade and Friends:
Time, which meets all its engagements,
has aain brought us to that season of the
year when, with common consent, we turn
aside from the daily routine of business to
pluck the flowers that bloom in the spring,
and to strew them npon the graves of our
dead comrades. Xo day is too sacred, nor
hour too holy for paying this last tribute of
respect to those who fell in the hour of
their country's greatest peril, fighting for
her liberties. To-morrow might have been
very pnierly observed in performing these
sad exercises, had not our Department Com
mander ordered it otherwise.
In the beautiful country of France,
throughout the raral districts, at least, they
have what is called " The day of the dead,"
devoted to keeping their graves green, and
consecrating that day unto their dead
friends. It comes, I believe, on the second
day of Xovember of each year. In onr
country the day of our dead is now our
Memorial Day. It is now in its eighteenth
anniversary, and each succeeding year it is
more widely honored, respected and observ
ed, which is a testimonial mere eloquent
than all the monuments of brass and gran
ite of this nation's enduring gratitude to the
brave men who rescued the Union from the
bloody bauds of treason, and made liberty
forever possible to all uuder the hallowed
and glurious flag of our forefathers.
The desire that our last resting place
should he sacred and kept green, is common
to our nature. Xo one wishes to be entirely
forgotten. The prayer of one of old was,
" That I may die in mine own city and be
buried by the grave of my father and of my
mother." The season, the occasion, the
day, the hour, are fraught with memories
and recollections which help to make this
day what it should be, sacred to the memo
ry ot our fallen heroes, and ia in obedieuce
to the text, "Aud this day shall be unto
yoa for a memorial." It is a memorial of the
long and terrible conflict, and of the final
triumph of right over wrong ; wbeu the
shackles were taken from over four millions
of human beings, and made them free and
independent American citizens, and gave us
a united, prosperous and happy country.
The endurance and patriotism of these he
roic dead for whom we this day mourn,
whose graves we wish to keep green, and
whose deed we desire to keep fresh in our
memory, was unflinching and unswerving.
If there is one word which is more endear
ed to the American soldier than any ottier
word, it is Patriolitm. It stirs the heart and
mind with fire aud a love of country, and
the hope of free and good government. U
is written in the history of Greece, on the
pages of Thermopy lie and Athens, the Swiss
Republic, the Cuban struggle, and in our
own country. It has been truthfully said
by Mrs. Liyermore, " There is a word sweet
er than mother, home or heaven ; it is lib
erty ; and legend makes this word the ori
gin of our present Decoration Day. Of all
our national resources and there are a great
many Patriotism, Liberty, Love of Coun
try, is the most precious. There i an old
tradition, which tells us that in days of an
cient Rome, whilst in her splendor, in the
midst of the Forum a yawning chasm sud
denly opened, and soothsayers declared that
only bvthe sacrifice of that which Rome
held most precious, could ita mouth be clos
ed. While the patricians were deliberating
as to what that should be, Marcus Cunius,
a brave soldier, mounted his war-horse, and
resplendent with his trappings, in full ar
mour, nlunged into the abyss. It closed
over Rome's costliest sacrifice, her best,
bravest, and noblest soldier, and man. How
many of the brave men soldiers of the late
war, leaped into the very jaws of death that
ourconntry might be free and independent,
and that we might enjoy its blessings.
The living have always a duty to perform
for the dead. It is our solemn duty not to
furiret the cause for which these brave men
died, and while the living soldier-citizen
gladly performs ihis sad duty, we cannot be
unmindful of the fact that our ranks are
lessening and oar number growing fewer
each year. Among the brave men who had
to bite the dust, aud answer the final roll:
call since our last Memorial Hay, was onr
brave old commander and fcllow-comrado,
Ucn. U, 8. Grant. It will not be long before
other hands must perform this sad rite.
There is an interesting picture of an aged
patriarch leaning upon a staff, with whiten
ed locks and bended form, whose sands of
life were nearly run, and whose days were
about numbered. It is entitled, " The Last
Soldier of the Revolutionary War." The
time will come, aye, too soon 1 when some
one will be the last soldier of the War of the
Rebellion, and while in the nature of things
this must come, it is pleasant to reflect that
the Sons of Veterans will bo here to take
the place of their sires. A band of true and
noble young men, into whose hands we can j
saieiy trust the memory of our dead sol
diers ; and who will always defend the prin
ciples for which they died, and see that tbey
did not die in vain. I have every reason to
believe that they will always quit
themselves like men, if I may Judge
from a recent vilt to Capt. James Hinch
man Camp of our place. The graves, then,
my fellow comrades, of our dead brethren,
which yoa have this day strewn with flow
ers and wreathes, was a debt of gratitude,
which the living should willingly perform
for the dead. It should be done in fraterni
ty, charity and loyalty; for has it net been
said by onr Master. "Greater love bath no
man than this, toat a man lay down bis
life for his friends." Then, '
"Sacred the tears we abed,
Over the honored dead.
Of that great time,
8hont we adown the years.
Ye who are freedom's heirs,
Guard ye the ark that bears
Our hope sublime,"
14 Faith, love, and Liberty,
Triumphant Trinity
By thee we stand ;
Long as the rivers run.
Long as endures the snn.
Our flag and country one ;
pod keep our land."
THE DAT AT BOCIWOOp.
was observed by decorating the graves of a'tl
soldiers at three different places, the ceremo
nies being performed by detachments in the
forenoon. At 12:30 the old soldiers, with a
few members of the G. A. R. formed in line
near the Haines House, and beaded by the
Milford band mart-tied to II. Snyder's store,
where the ladies and Sunday-schools pro
vided flowers for the occasion, after which
the column moved to the Hanger rburcb
cemetery, where the regular G. A. R. servi
ces were held. Men, wo:en aud children
from far and near congregated to witness the
solemn service, after which the line of
march was returned. On their return the
Sunday-schools, Royal Arcanum and citi
zens were in waiting for them a little dis
tance out of town, and escorted them to the
grove near by where, after prayer by Rev.
Fleck, Hon. H. B. Barnes was introduced
by Rev. Floto, and delivered one of his in
imitable speeches that stirred the hearts of
many to higher and nobler aspirations, and
appreciation of Memorial Day. Mr. Barnes'
oration was not only grand, but was just the
thing for the occasion. Considering that
this was the first attempt of the kind in
Rock wood, and that in th absence of a G
A. R. Post, in less than a week the matter
was promulgated, and that too without the
usual number of committees 00 such occa
sions, and again in the absence of 1 complete
program out of chaos came success. Rock
wood is indeed to be congratulated. The ob
ject was to tarry out the sentiment express
ed in the " General Orders for Memorial
Day." That was done.
Xow since the matter is begun, let all con
tinue to commemorate the day. Let not
self-interest, vandalism of avarice, or neg
lect, no ravages of time testify to the pres
ent or coming generations that we have for
gotten as a people the cost of a free and un
divided Republic. Let the old soldiers of
'Cl-'ti. heed the language of the first section
of " General Orders Xo. 11." If other eyes
grow dull, and bands slack, and other hearts
cold in the solemn trust, ours shall keep it
warm as long as the light and warmth of life
remains. DertAeni'ui jt-perpetua.
