The celebration in honor of Somerset County's centennial anui crsary is now a matter of history and will furnish a bright page, for the future faithful chroni cler of historical events. That - it was an unqualified nieces in every sense, all of the estimated twenty-five thousand who were present and participated in the cere monies and festivities incident to the oc casion, will gladly ln-ar testimony. The original suggestion made in these c 1 umns more than one year ago that the county's on hundreJih anniversary should not be permitted to pass without being properly recognised and coinmcm erated was subsequently taken up by L. C. Colborn, Ej., who, acting in con junction with a number of other patriotic cilizeas, published a call for a public meeting, at which action looking towards this end should be taken. Gen. A. II. Coffroth was elected President of the meeting; Hon. A. J. Collxirn and Valen tine Hay, Ksq. were elected Vice Presi dents, and Hon. Win. II. Sannerand A. L.. Hay, Ksq., Secretaries. At a sub sequent meeting these gentlemen were elected permanent officers of the Centen nial irganization. At future meetings lien. CofTroth ap pointed the various committees, whose names were published in these columns at the time and all of whom labored un ceasingly for the success of the celebra tion. William H. lluppel, Ksq., was named as Chairman of the Kxeeutive Committee-, and the able, efficient ami dignified manner in w hich ha has per formed the multifarious duties devolving upon him lears ample testimony of the wisdom of his selection, and entities him to the thanks of the people of the entire county. Mr. Kuppel was ably assisted hy tho Chairmen of all of the other com mittees, who by reason of their appoint ment, were constituted members of the executive committee, and they too are entitled to the thanks of the people of the county for the gratifying success w hich has crowned their etl'ort.s.

WKKNKSHAT MoitNtXil. Every train reaching Somerset Wed nesday was crowded with former resi dents of the county who had comeback to help the home people jubilate over the county's one hundredth birthday. The day was practically given over to general rejoicing. Staid and honored citizens of many states had laid aside their dignity days to lie the Simon, John and Henry of their boyhood. Many of the re-unions were of a most touching character, es iieciallv those w here old army comrades met after a separation of thirty years; or where others saluted one another with the nicknames of their boyhooil, names oni-e familiar, although not heard for very many years. The streets through out the day were tilled with gayly adorn ed vehicles being driven to their proper place to fall in lino for Thursday's great parade. The weather was delightfully cool and hundreds of people devoted the afteriKion to traversing the different streets iu order to view the many magni ficently decorated residences and business housus. In addition to what has been said before in regard to the embellish ment of the town it is but proper to record here that the consensus of opinion ofiho thousands who were here last week was that Somerset was as gorgeously and tastily decorated as are the m ire preten tious cities on similar public occasions. ARRIVAL OF KIKE COY PAN! K ASH BKKI1 RAMI. Upon the arrival oftho 4 P. M. train from Johnstown, the Vigilant and Mox ham Fire lW'partments, and the I teed I hind, of that city, alighted Each of the departments brought a steam engine and several hose carriages with them. After the eouii.uietit had lieen unloaded from the trucks and the horses proided for the memlers of the fire companies show ed their efficient training by locating all of the w ater plugs in order that they might be ready to lend assistance iu cast an emergency should arise requiring their ervi-es. These companies have the honor of having brought to Somerset the first hteam tire engines ever seen in this place. The engines were the ol Jects of much curiosity and admiration, anil the uniformed memliers of the Johns town Fire I Apartment who had them in charge, were untiring in their endeavors to explain the working of the machines to the people. Tiie part they took in the parade the nest morning was one of the most notable and attractive and was fully appreciated by the people of Somerset. When the north-bound train arrived at &."W 1'. M-, it brought not less than-VU visitors including the Herliu Hand. Tii3 memliers of the reception cimuiittee greeted the invited guests aud after they had lieen provided with seats in carriages a procession, headed by the Berlin Hand and followed by a line of carriages, the Heed Hand and the representatives of the Johnstow n Fire Hcpartment w ith their engines -and hose carriages, paraded through the principal streets oftho town. The exercises proper did not heg'ui until seven o'clock, and at. that hour the Johnstown Heed Hand, one of the l-t musical organizations iu western Penn sylvania, played a number of their in.ist popular selections on the public square. In a few minutes the square was a iK.-rfi.s-t mass of people all struggling and push ing forward in a vain effort to reach the speakers' stand. Seated on the stand were a large numlier of the county's m st ven erable citizens, and invited guests. Among others noticed were Col. S.im:iel Eider, aged fl years of Eig itiier, w ho was for many year a prominent citizen of this county, and was ele.-ted Hegister and Hecorder of Somerset county fifty-six years ago; Philip iilUrt, wh is .S uner act's most venerable and highly respvt ed citizen; Ianiel E.

THE P-KOMRAM TAKEN VP. It was a few minutes after 7 o'clock when William II. Kuppel, Esq.. Chair mauofthe Executive Committee, and Master of Ceremonies, made his way to the front of the platform and announced that Iter. Hiram King, or St. Paul's He formed Church, Somerset, would fill the place on the program assigned to Hev.

These addresses were both highly in teresting and w ill le of great benefit to the future historians of the comity. They will ha pab'.ishe 1 in a later iscie of the Hkkai.ii, and we would sugis: l!i it they be preserved by our readers. Til K BICYI't-E PAKAOK. A sjiecial train arriving from Johns town at i P. M., brought aliout forty wh(N?linen. acrompauiel by several hun dred residents of that city. Th Johns town wh.jelnien were tii"t at the station by a large delegation of Somerset bicycle riders and by the Heel Hand. A proeca- tiion of w heelmen was immediately form ed and headed by the Hand and Mr. Her manns li.ier, attired in bloomers," and with his wheel gayly embellished with Japanese lanterns and bright colored rih lhins, paraded through the principal streets of the town. The parade attracted a ereat deal of attention and was one of the novel fe itures of tlis c -lebration. The bicycle parade over, the thousands who had lieen watching it m i ! their wav to the hillside overlooking the low lands north oftho lied ford pike at the edge of the borough, from which poiut the pyrotechnic display was made. N.it w ithstanding the Tact that the fire works were on a grainier s-ule than any that had ever lieen seen in this county, the lateness of the hour precluded many persons from seeing them and provoked many uncom plimentary remarks. The firework concluded the day's pro gram, when there was a grand rush for the hotels. The H-'tcl Vannear and th Somerset House turned away hundreds of customers, being unable to provid tUeniwith slin'tiing ac.siiiim idatioiis. A nuuilier of persons sat up all night iu the hotel offices. All of the other hotels and lmarding b iases were overcrowded, and it is rep ii ted that sores of people wan dered around the streets all night, lining unable to secure shelter. The people of Somerset, without exception, threw open their homes for the acc im:n odation of the ii'.iblic but were unable to entertain all who were here. TIIE GREAT PARADE.

Postiethwaite, Grin Megahan, Mr. and Mrs. Edward B. Scull, A. S. Will, Esq., were among the Pittaburgera jn town during the celebration. Iong Iteibre dawn on Indeeiid nee Day thousands of residents of the county were on their way to Somerset to partici pate in the exercises in honor of the county's centennial. They came in wag ons, buggies, carriages and all kinds of vehicles, and crowded the roads for miles. At 6 o'clock a National salute of forty- four guns was fired, and the reports echoing among the mountains served no tice to all "Frosty Sons of Thunder" that the program arranged for the second and great day of the ccleliratioii had been taken up. Hy eight o'clock the back streets alleys and lanes, and a numlier of lots that had teen thrown open for the purpose, were ai-tually jammed with -e-hicles, w hile all of the road leading to Somerset were dotted w ith footmen and horsemen. The excursion trains sched uled to arrive at 9 a. m. were 40 minutes late, but when they reached here all were taded with human freight. The train from Somerfield, made up of eleven coaches, had between I.HW and l,iSM pas sengers on board, while tho other trains from north and oast swelled the number brought here by rail on that morning to U'tween f,(mtand ,OJX A conservative estimate of the strangers in town at the hour the great parade started places the numlier at about 'Jd.W'J. It is generally conceded that the railroad did not carry more Hum ii per cent, of the people who came to Somerset that morning. The streets through w hich the parado was to pass were crowded with a good- natured, perspiring throng, while all of tho window s along tho route w ere occu pied by ladies and gentlemen. Hun dreds of men and boys took up their jio silious on house tops and awnings, from which point of vantage they viewed the magnificent paguant. Perhaps the great est crowd congregated in the public square, where they enthusiastically cheered the various delegations as they appeared in the line of parade. The ex citement incident to the parade seemed to be contagious, anil many of those w ho were assisting in making up the spectacle added their voices to thse of the multi tude who were cheering. It required just tr, minutest for the parade, which w as two miles iu length, to pass a given point. THEORKAT PARADE. There have lieen parades and parades. but viewed from a purely historical stand point it is doubtful whether a more unique deurinstration was ever made in this State or country than this one. The chief charm of the pageant was that it was a complete surprise to every Issly, includ ing those w ho w ere active in making ar rangements for it. Not one of the gen tlemen w ho had tailored for tho success of the demonstration had any idea of the magnitude it would assume or the great ..... t - , , .. success it would attain, i niei .mmiiu Sanner, however, had looked after the details with military precision and al though he was completely in the dark as to the character of the demonstration, he had made all of his arrangements so per fectly that the parade passed off without a tingle hitch. At an early hour Thursday morning the delegations from the various boroughs nml townshios lieiran to arrive, when they at once took the positions previously assigned them and from which they fell into line promptly as tho word of com mand was given. The procession was headed by the Chief Marshal, Capt. Win. II. Sanner, and Frank Collins, Marshal of the Berlin and Brothersvalley delega tions, followed by a carriage in w hich were seated the permanent officers of the Countv Centennial organisation. Presi dent A. II. Coffroth, Vice Presidents Val entine Hay and A. J. ColUirn, and Secre tary A. L G. Hay. The Berlin Cornet Band came next, and then followed one of the most touching spectacles of the parade a horse carrying the saddle aud side-arms of It. P. Cummins, w ho loff home and family to Ix-come Captain of Co. A, Tenth Pa. Heserves, the first mili tary organization from this county to en list iu the war of Ihe rebellion, and re cruited principally from the youth ami chivalry of Somerset liorough, and who Imer was i.r unotetl to the rank of Colonel of the 142d Pa. Kegiiuent, and fell hi irtally wounded w hile gailantiy lead ing his men on the second day of the bat tle of Gettysburg. (To Mr. C. t Hhoads, of Somerset, is due the credit of suggit- ingand arranging for this laudable lis- plny.) Next in line was a delegation of several hundred veterans of the late war march ing on foot, and immediately after them c-une the Johnstown Heed Hand at the head of a representative Usly of Somerset con ut ians who have taken up their resi dence in the Flood city. Mayor Boyd rode in a carriage, aomnipanied by F. J. Kooser, Esq., and other members of the reception committee. A large company of veterans followed. mounted on horses, and then came two fire engines and three h'tse carriages renrPKciitim? the fire departiueuU of Johnstown and Moxliaiu. Assistant Postmaster Frank K. Sanner a-ted as drum major for the S. or . drum corps of Somerset, the members of which were dressed in fantastic costumes and eli'-ited much applause along the line of march. Following the Ig-.nner of Milford and New Centreville was a carriage c nit.nu- ing some of their most venerable citizens. one of whom carried a scythe, represent ing "Father Time," Next followed a handsomely decjrated wagon labeled Younz America," in which :) or more girls and Uiys, surrounding an aged lady "Mother Milford" rode. The singing and cheering of this troop of nappy children was one of the pleasing features of the iiarade. A pack train of heavily laden horses carrying a complete outfit of camp equipments ; a Isiy tin the wa to mill, with grain in one end of the sack and a stone in the other; a Connestoga wagon rigged out in every detail down to ihe tar bucket snspended from the rear axle, drawn by a handsome team of dap ple greys caparisoned in old-time har ness with tinkling bells over the hames, furnished historical pictures which faith fully portrayed the manner of transjiort ing freight over the mountains before the advent of the modern railroad. One wagon ai laUled "Ijist tif the Race," and it was followed by another vehicle of more modern constnurtion, Imt now rare ly seen, on the mqslin cover of which were printed the words "Local Freight of 40 Years Ago." These exhibiLs were fol lowed by a numlwr of the latest improv ed fiirni wagons thus contrasting the several wagons in use during the past century. A tumbling shaft threshing machine followed by traction engine, ta lk and complete m.xlern threshiug outfit w ere next in line, aud were follow ed by a road-making machine, which was recently purchased by the people of Milford. tm the next several wagons were aged ladies familiar in their day and generation with the working of tho flax-break, the spinning wheel and the loom, turning out the threads w ith w hich they used to make their own family clothing just as dexterously as they did filly years ago. Several of the ladies were smoking pipes most of them old-fa-ihioned eorneolH, as they spun. These interesting relies were followed by a large delegation of citiiens in gayly decorated carriages and wagons, .Amusing feat ures of the Milf rd exhibit were a youth on horseback with young lady mounted on behind, and carrying a banner labeled "How We Took Them Homo in 17!i5;" husband and wife of "Ye Olden Time on horses and a numlier of lads dressed in fantastic costumes. The handsomely uniformed "Alert Fire Comiiauy" from Meyersdale, drag ging their beautiful hose carriage, went to make up one of the attractive features of the procession. A unique feature and one which was loudly applauded all along the route was members of w hich were all dressed In their working clothes. They furnished the best music of any of the organizations participating in the parade and their costumes were in excellent keeping with the character of the demonstration. The Berlin and Brothersvalley delega tion, headed by the Berkley's Mill liaud an organisation any town in the comi ty might ls proud to own followed. Their exhibit consisted of several old time wagons and carriages tilled witn happy children; the tJ. A. B, drum corps one of whose musicians Michael 7.orn played a rife in tho Union Army; th j drum belonging to this organization is the same one used by the Hind Pa., regiment, throughout the war, and still has in ierfect condition one of its original heads. A novel feature of the parade was the spectacle presented by the delegations from Lower Turkeyrst, Addison, Ursiiia and Confluence. Lee Forquer, of Ursina, was attired as a pioneer hunter, with coon skin cap, leather leggins rte., while another member of the delegation carried the bide of the bear which Gen. Alex ander Manna slew w 1th a single blow of his mighty list. Still other memliers of the delegation carried photographs of a few of the early pioneers and historical characters of the south of the county and many valuable and unique relics of pio neer days. The banner carried by this delegation was one of several of clever design in tho procession. It consisted of a square of white muslin on which ap peared the names of the earliest settlers of the south of the county, and was sur mounted by three toes representing a turkey's foot, and inseriUsl Youghioghe ny Hiver, Casselman'a River, and North Fork. The Bakersville band marched at the head of the delegations from Jefferson and Milford townships. Both of them exhibited a number of historic relies aud antiquated vehicles. (Jucmahoning and Stoyestown' display was a unique one. Among the features was the only Indian iu Somerset county a you ng A paehe w ho as si x years at the Carlisle Indian School, and who has been a resideutaif Queniahouing township for several years past. He was dressed in native costume and carried a bow -and arrow. Two young ladies attired in the quaint gowns used by their grut-grand-motherson Sunday occasions presented a pleasing picture; a canteen of the revolutionary war was displayed from one of tho wagons ud Hepresenlive Maun r and his estimable wife rode, in a wagon, the latter operating a spinning w heel throughout the proi-ession. Somerset township presented a fine display. Among the exhibits presented were the original Husband plow, the first ever iiitrodti-sl into Somerset coun ty, a crudo wimmIcu implement with an iron tip, and the arms of which were held by a descendant of one of the pioneer families; a venerable fanning mill, threshers w ith old-tinio flails bls k wheel wagons; harvesting Iarty of 100; young girls representing the various districts of the county; and a large numb er of novel and interetsing relies. Somerset's Lord Mayor and town council rode in a decorated wagon, and forty-four lieautiful young girls represen ting the different States, rode on a large wagon, radiant with the National colors, aud drawn by six horses. The rear of the prtsvasion was made up with a magnificent lot of float represen ting the different lints of merchandise handled by the business men of Somerset borough. Those represented were: J. N. Snyder, Cook 'and Buerils C. II. lof- froth, W. F. Shaffer, Listie Coal Co., Jonas I- Baer, W. II. Hochstetler, Ferner Bros., W. H. Stoddard, Kantner X Piatt, P. A. Schell, W. S. Shaver, J. B. HolderiKium, Henry Hi liley, Kantner Bros. The displays made by all of the firms participating in the parade were in , i every way oreiiuaiuo, anu coi.iparcu favorably with those made by merchants on like occasions in the leading cities of the country. -i- The notable features of this display were W. W. Shaver's "old woman that lived in a shoe." The shs. w hich was of lib eral dimensions was placarded "Trilby,' the float was drawn by a diminutive donkey. Comrade "Andy" .nick was loudly cheered along the route of the parade as he passed "pegging away" on his cob bler's bench, representing Ferner Bros. Jonas L. Baer had the hide of a huge black bear carefully mounted aud laliel- ed "The Hustler." Kantner A Co's., display of woolen eoisls aud varus was among the most artistic displays. Abram Smith spread out on one of Fur niture Dealer Cotl'roth's most expensive and downy couches tame in for much ap lilause. W. F. Shaffer's, force of marble cutlers worked steadily ahead as if they were oblivious of the fact that they w ere at tracting unusual attention. James It. Holderliaum drove in the iiroeession aud exhibited a number of beautiful vehicles and latest improved agricultural implements. The Listie Mining Co's float was orna mented with the largest block of solid coal ever mined in the county. Paul A. Schell exhibited a luxurious Imth tub and latest improved kitchen utensils. 'ook Ac Beerits had on their float "sugar and spice and everything ni-e Kantner v Piatt had a handsome dis play tif groceries. Parson and Zeigler exhibited an im- iiiense steer. Druggist Snyder was represented by a crowd of Isiys dressed in faney costumes all tooting horns. Hochstetler's tailoring establishment was represented by a well-equipped shop. turning out fashionable garments. W. H. Stoddard exhibited a house on wheels covered by a slate roof. Henry Hetlley's display consisted of a lot of you nn men dressed in seasonable clothing of fashionable design. A OI5AT1KYINO sriVKSS. Tho parade, illustrating as it did, the progress of a century, was a gratifying sm-eess to all of the twenty thousand peo ple who participated in it or reviewe 1 it. Its success is entirely tlue to the efforts of the ladies and gentlemen of the vari ous districts of the county who tailored untiringly for the tuwomplishment of this purpose. The facilities at our command prevent us from recording the names of all w ho were c meanied in bringing the demonstration to a success ful conclusion. HOTKI-S AND KATISO 1IOCSKS UKslEUKK. Not until after the last float in the pa geant had passed out of sight were tho vast crowds mindful of the fact that noon had come and gono and then there was a wild rush for the various hotels. boarding houses lunch counters, Ac. The crowd at Cook A Beerits' quenched their thirst w ith seven M-galltin-lwrrels of lemonade and would have consumed live times that quantity had the firm lieen able to supply the demand. At 3 P. M. their immense store room looked as though it had been sacked, as almost ev erything of an edible character had been disposed of. Mrs. A. E. Tisel's and Tucker's camp headquarters for lunches, on public occa sionswere lioth entirely sold out of their large sbs-k before 1:'J0 P. M. K. B. Coffroth, Harry Sipe, I M.

Benford's pharmacy disposed of a sufticient quan tity of soda water to float one of the ships of the "White Squadron." At the Hotel Vannear more than 1.000 patrons were entertained at dinner, while an equal numlier procured dinners at the Somer set House, Winter's Commercial Hotel, the West End Hotel, Walter's Railroad House and others .were compelled to turn away hungry patrons.

A "Ce.Ueunial Poem" from the pen of Prof. A. B. Grof, of Meyersdale, was next recited in capital style by M iss Nell Butter, or the same plaeo, after which John G. Ogle, Esp, delivered a valuablo historical address on "S imerset County in the Army and Navy." (Mr. Ogle's address will bo published in a future numlier of the Hkb ai.ii.)

At the request of the editor Mr. Baer kindly consented to re produce a few of the most notable features tif his remarks for the benefit of tho read ers of the Hkkai.k and they can Imj found elsewhere in this issue. The greatest confusion prevailed in all parts of the town excepting in front of the speakers' stand, where an immense throng had collected to hear the orators of the evening. On all of the side streets ba!l')ons were lieing sent up, tire crackers and IiohiIm were being expbided, merry- go-rounds were screaming liieir unearth ly noise, bands were tlisc.iursing their favorite airs and drum corps were play ing martial music.
