RELICS.—On Thursday ns the workmen were
engaged in digging out the foundation of the City
Hall, they came across two pennies, one dated
1724, which was under the reign of King George
I, and the other dated 1738, under the reign of
King George 11. When found they were corroded
a little, but after a while were found to be in n
remarkable state of preservation. Their dates
can be seen as distinctly as thoseinf a much more
later date.
TILE ALLENTOWN LEDOEIL—The Allentown
Ledger puts in an appearance in an enlarged
shape. Always noticeable for the neatness of
its appearance, the Ledger in its improved

agement of the Allentown Ledger, and we
shall be glad to set , him receive liberal support
from the citizens of Allentown and its vicinity.

PLEASURE PARTY.—Last week a number of
the officers and directors of the Lehigh Crane Iron
Co., accompanied by their friends, arrived at Cat
mamma by a special train provided by the North
' Penn Railroad Co. Their object was to view the
works of the Crane Iron Co., and to see the work
ing of the new engines used for drawing out the
cinders from the furnaces. The locomotive was
gaily decorated, and the trip over the Catasamput
Fogelsville Railroad was very heartily appreci
ated by the party. , The refreshment department
was under the superintendence of Philadelphia's
famous f estaurateur, Augustine, and of coarse
--ZAS all that could be desired. A most pleasant
time was enjoyed, and the new regime of the lo
comotive, In place of the one horse slag hauler,
was fairly Inaugurated.
THERE was much activity among the Fe•
nians in New York and the Eastern States
last week. News comes from Vermont of
their concentrating at Fairfield, and the rail
road companies are doing a' good business in
transporting Feninns to the frontier. No es
thnnte can be formed of the force of the raiders
but it is believed the demonstration will be no
trivial affair. Their movements have been
made with such secrecy that the. Canadian
Government, as well as our own, has been
outwitted. The instructions of Secretary
Fish to Gov. Baldwin, of Michigan, not to
permit the passage of Canadian troops through
our
, borders, is evidence that on overnment
will preserve a strict neutrality in t e matter,
so that there are prospects that the Fenians
will have the Canadians in th out and
United States troops on their flanks.

DROWNED.—The Mauch Chunk Democrat
mays :—Packer's Dam was the scene of a sad af
fair on' Sunday afternoon last. A young eon of
Wm. McGee, living at the Liberties, was crossing
the river in a frail boat when he was halted by
three men who wished to be taken over also, but
the boy told them the boat wonld not carry all.
The men however Insisted, and they were taken
is. When half way over the boat sank, but as
the water was only about four feet deep there was
no apparent danger. The boy waq held up by
one of the men and taken to the shore. The two
men remaining, McHugh and O'Brien, also at
tempted to gain the shore, but unable to swim,
they sank to the bottom and were drowned. Mc-
Hugh was burled here and O'Brien at Allentown.
They were at work on the new Jail.
A ItAtm Buim.—Among the curious inci
dents of the recent hall' storm, was the fall of a
large sea bird beaten down by the hail, and
wrecked In the garden of Mr. Andrew Aitkin, at
Moorestown, Burlington county, N. J. The bird's
wings measured full live feet front tip to tip. It
was presented by Mr. A. to the Society of Natural
Sciences In Meant Holly. It Is doubtless a spe
cies of the genus albatross, the larger species of
which measure front six to twelve feet from tip to
tip. The albatross' Is helpless, except on the
water and on the wing. Its favorite 'haunts are
the waters near the capes of South Africa and
South America, and large flocks are seen near
Mitring's Straits and Kamsehatku. It Is some
times seen, though seldom, off the coasts of the
United States. The forced landing of no alba
tross so near Philadelphia is another testimony to
the wide reach and violence of the storm of
Sunday week. The writer of thts notice having
caught the nlbntross with a hook and line, off
Cape 'Horn, never expected to record the landing
of such a bird In New Jersey.—Pldia. Ledger, 21d.
PRESBYTERIAN GENERAL ASSEMBLY.—Thy
Eighth item of the report of the Reem.struetion
Committee was taken up on Monday afternoon,
May !h. This WIIB In conneetioh with the recom
mendation of the committee as to the Synod of
Scranton which would have Included Lehigh
County in the Synod.
Rev. J. W. Wood of Allentown.—Mr. Modera
tor I would desire to offer one amendment to
that Item.
.1 move that It be amended so ns to add the
county of Lehigh to the Philadelphia Synod. It
struck toe ns an inadvertence on the part of the
committee that this county was placed in the
Synod of Scranton. All who are acnnainted with
the natural features of the county for 40 or 30
miles north of this, know that the Blue Moun
tains form a barrier between this county and the
remainder of Scranton Synod, The Committee
Lave put Northampton county on the east and
Berks county on the west, in conhection with
Philadelphia, while Lehigh county, the central or
the three counties, is placed with Scranton and
running up as far as Tioga, some two hundred
miles away front us. Our conneellou,soclal, :and
to trade and in sympathy, our ecclesiastical his
tory, everything is with Phliadelphhi. Oueyoung
people do not go up that way to court and get
married. We don't know anything about the
good brethren up there, except that we believe
they are good. I think, sir, that every considera
tion should allow Lehigh comity to he associated
'Southward, with Philadelphia, as heretofore. And
one other reason is, that there is a strong desire
expressed In that region to form a Lehigh Valley
Presbytery.
If Northampton is hn One Synod, and Lehigh
in another, greater changes stfll will be necessary
In the future.

TOE FOUNTAIN HOUSE.—Everything that
tends to the improvement of our city, as a matter
of course, to important to our citizens. Especially
Is this the case when an improvement Is of such a
character ns to draw to Allentown a number of
strangers, who will increase, our trade In every di
rection and add to our prosperity. The beautiful
situation and line natural advantages we possess
In our favored locality, only make it necessary for
us ones to get people here, and wo are pretty sure
that they will come again.
It la o matter of surprise that for So long a time
the odvantages, of Allentown, as a Summer resort
have been overlooked or neglected, and It has been
a subject of regret to many, that enterprise was
not exerted In this direction. When the Fountain
House was built, it was intended to snake such a
place of Issas should Supply this deficiency, and
fm : beauty oC . altuitiOn And convenience, It could
not have beeititiore appropriately located. With
in the last fear It has hdbeine more generally
known and the new proprietor, Mr. Heise, opens
It with a liberality and public spirit, that go far
towards commanding success, by deserving it.
Everything about the house Is new. The uphols
tering work, from one of the lirst houses 111 the city
of Philadelphia, Is of the most elegant and recherche
'description. The billiard tables, bath rooms and
every department of the hotel are replete with all
the modern douvenlences and improvements, while
the natural bealltleA which surround the house
and the numerous objects of interest in our vicinity
are such as to prove very attractive to the tired
denizens of our large cities, who, can • Mid rest
and health amid the pure air and romantic
scenery of our lovely Lehigh
Mr. these is a gentleman whd by this time is well
and favorably known to many of our citizens, and
his extensive acquaintance and popularity In the
cities of Philydelphia and NeW 'York, as well an
Others of the great centres of business, will err-.
Minty insure for him, front the stars, at successful
ruts of business.
To the people of this city and county he' Ought
safely to look for the support and encouragement
his enterprise deserves. Every one' who would
like to see an increase of business here, should
take an interest In encouraging and supporting
this house, which will certainly be of advantage
to evuiy , buSIUC6I3 muss In causing an Minx oe
, strangers and of, necessity, an increase In trade.
We uuderstand that the farolol opening will
take place nest Saturday and halm also beard that
in a. short time a regiment of the National Guard of
Philadelphia will camp near the house and be sup

come Mr. Melee most heartily to Allentown and
predict for him toe success that had been awaiting
anyone who kept a really First ClasS Sampler
Hotel at the Crystal Springs.

AIEMORIAL DAY.
THE DECORATION , OF THE SOLDIERS '
GuAvus.—Notwithstanding the unfavorable state
of the weather the love and veneration with which
the memory of the "heroes of the woe; who
sleep their last 'sleep In our midst, is regarded by
the citizens of Allentown, caused the turn out tide
mornag to he a large one, and the procession of
the different companies, lodges, schools, acconv
limited by the hands Was imposing and Milne&

Punctual to the time announced by the
Committee of Arrangements the bells of the city
rang out and the muster took place at the Court
Home. Following the Ilse of route the proces-
Floe started In the slight rain that was falling,
the bands playing lively times and the uniforms of
the firemen, the nutnher of lodges and the varie
gated dresses of the children carrying their bo-
quets, giving it an appeuranee of life stud beauty
in marked contrast to the gloomy and dispiriting
weather. Arrived at tic cemetery the children

And the dark blue violet,
And the fragrant llow'rs of May,
With forget-me-note and bay,
And garlands of spring beauties wet ;
And their pure breath shall ascend,

That our land may thid hearts as true
As those that moulder there.

Our faith In the great fact of Immortality rests,
with some of us, OH the truth of revelation, and
with others oil reasons, which in their logical ae-
curacy satisfy the highest grade of Intellect. But
besides these (I had almost sold Independent of
them) there Is something in the heart experience
of every human tieing, even where that which we
call " revelation" does not exist, and where "rea
son" is most untaught, which utters with Nivel
force the same Important and undoubted truth.
The love which death has never conquered, which
bads us all to follow to the extremest verge of
life those of our friends who aro called away from
earth and stand, so to speak, on the very lowest
margln of the cold dark stream which separates
this life from that which Is to come, endeavoring,
with anxious eyes, to trace their course beyond
the grave,Mnd learn If It be possible, something
of the nature .of learn,
everlasting home. The
warm a ffection lilac,' we feel for those who are
very near to us, which begins almost with life,
and which grows and strengthens with it until it
spans the whole of time that Iles between our
cradles and our graves, and stands above us like
the many-hued rainbow In the clouds, a thing of
holy Joy and beauty to the soul, and which, though
resting on the earth on which we live, towers with
Its glorious arch towards the heaven which all as
pire
This undying and unconquerable love—these
warm emotions common to our race, are in them
selves a sore, If not the highest token of our
heavenly origin and our Immortal destiny, of our
power to live when all on earth and earth itself
has passed away, in a home that Is eternal hi the
• heavens, where the rainbow of peace will never
fade, where our days will never darken or our
eyes grow dim with grief or age, and where those
we loved and lost upon earth will stay In
our presence forever.
But while this love exists In every human heart,
and these warm desires !adulate every faithful
Foul, there are none on earth who do not feel and
• know that here at least, these aspirations are hi
vain.
That the curtain which God has hang between
our present and our future lirea Is too thick for
mortal eye to penetrate ; that the mist that hangs
above the stream which all who live on earth'
;oust one day pass, Is too obscure to permit us to
see the spirit land beyond it, and that even the
eye of strongest faith, aided by the brightest light
of revelation, must, rest content with seeing all
that there awaits Ile "as through a glass darkly."
It N no wonder then that,'haffled its we are and
ever have been in all our efforts to preserve and
continue our hallowed intercourse with friends be
yond tills life, we should turn ot • torn and bleed
hug hearts towards their dear ret alas, and lavish
on them and on the spot %viler they repose in
'death, the full o'ertlowing treasu • of a love which
must be lavished somewhere, id for which we
can lied no higher, holler MI on earth. . .
We read, therefore, without surprise,
in the an
nals of the Past, that at all times, and in all ages
of the ,world, the grave has been a hallowed spot,
and that the rough cairn of the Celt or ancient
Briton, the humble tumulus of the American In
dian, the lovely cenotaphs of Greece,nnd the proud
mausoleum reared over the grave of her greatest
men in the proudest Cr;, of the world's old master
' Ancient Rome, are one and all of them the out
bursts of these same pent-up feelings of the heart,
efforts tame or Icss refitted to give shape and utter
ance to the undying love which lives in every
heart, and which, baffled in its efforts to follow
the departed to their eternal home, has turned to
that which remains within their reach, and cher
ishes it its all that Is left to them of the loved and

of those who were In life allied to 'us by the tics of

of the great American people, Lind are due to the

Look for one moment at the time In which they
lived, that you may fully . understand and appre

and these that are around it, tire hallowed by the
: graves of men, some of whom were of our day and
generation, and some who were called away front
the earth ere many of this vast assembly were
upon It, but all of whom we bare met to honor
with our floral wreathe to-day.
Three epochs of great and Imminent public dan

• When thls nation was born, and Its young life
was threatened by a harsh ' unnatural mother,
there wrre men whose dust li es mingled with the
earth around us, who stood by Ito cradle In that
hour of need, and helped to defeat, If not destroy,
the power which thus refused us it place among
the nations of the earth.
In later years, when we had grown to manhood
as a people, this NUM relentless foe, Jealous of
oar rising power and greatness, or fearful of the
consequences which were likely to result from the
principles which our precept anti uvample were
spreading, over all the earth, essayed again to
crush us, there were men, some of whom are
here interred, brave as their ancestors, who were
equal to that crisis, tint' dared and did all that
men could do or dare for this, the land of their
birth or their adoption.
And when, In our own times, the wild, insane
ambition of our so-called statesmen North and
South, had plunged the Nation Into that mom,
fearful and unnatural of fel conflicts, a civil war,
when to prevent the doing of a fancied or per;
chance a real wrong, our misguided brethren of
the South, ignoring all their previous local and.
partisan' divisions and disputes, banded together
In a mass against the authority of the lawfully
chosen.
The speaker here referred In fitting terms to the
treason of the South, "when the flag that It:A
never stooped to man or nation was trailed and
trampled In• the dust In Charleston," and pie•
lured graphically the noble uprising of the Nation,
the guerillce of home and all the ties that are
dearest to us ; the sufferings on the march, priva
tions In camp and the terrible ordeal of battle.

away from camp and comrade, alone In the dense
dark forest, beyond the reach of help or succor,
the soldier stood again and again, exposed to
every danger that man or beast or element, or all
combined, could gather round him, and when re
lieved front this, back to Camp to repeat the long
forced march or the dangerous attack or the des
perate repulse In which all lives were ris..td and
many lost.
We have heard and read of this and more than
this, that was done and suffered by these men for
its, and home and national existences, until the
whole, hind was consccerated by their valor, and
mauy us gullet stream, and barren bill and rustle
vale and hamlet, heretofore unknown to fame,
has now become historic ground, as worthy our
regard ns the Held of Marathon, the pass of Thee
mopyhe, or old Salamis were in ancient times.
Filled with these memories and incited by such
motives we can say, ns was said in olden time
"It Is good for us to be here,"
In honoring their remolds we do ourselves the
highest honor; we cannot reach them with our
warm enloglinn ; no knowledge of our words or
deeds can pass the gulf that Its between us and
the spirit land.
We know that their homes arc bright and fair
On the bunks or that happy AMC,
We know that the friends we hare lost are there,
Th .y are there to return no more.
Butt their dust Is with us, their names are with us,
the remembrance of their self-sacrifielng lives are
with us, aunt so long as these remain with us we
have that around which we can gather, and to
which, with floral olf•rings and wreaths of
evergreens we can silo* how anxious we are to
pay something of the debt of gratitude which we
owe to them. Let us then, with no partial view
ever keep these thoughts before us and as time
rolls oil, annually repeat the ceremonies of this
clay. "With malice towards none, with charity
for all," with true forgiveness for ail who were
misguided, and heart-felt thankfulness to those
who under God BUMd Ili as it people from the dan
ger that was around us, let us make this a day
that shall be hallowed by the best and noblest
feelings' of the heart.
Let us then not rely ton much on these public
demonstrations of regard, bnt cultivate In our
hearts, a warm and lasting admiration for the
virtues which ennobled their character, their truth,
their honor, their unselllsh devotion to their coun
try, the heroism which prompted them to march
In its defence, and the bravery and unflinching
courage which sustained them until It was saved,
and they will need no better eulogy nor want a
more enduring fame.
As the dew drops that fall, though in silenec they
weep '
Will brighten with verdure the graves where they
sleep,
So the tear that we shed, though In silence it rolls,
Will long keep their memory green In our souls.
