Soldiers' Re-union and the Fair.
T'le't'iird annual Ke-union or the survi
ving veterans of Juniata county was laxgelv
attended last Thursday. It is estimated
that bctweca 4,IK0 and 6,000 peop'.e turm-d
out to witness the parade and hear the ad
dress of welcome and the general address,
and greet the old soldiers.
At 11 o'clock a. ., the veterans held a
business session in the Court Douse.
At 1:30 p. . the dress parade, or march,
was taken up, the line having been formed
on Bridge street. With a full complement
ot otlieers at the head of the procession the
line of march was out Washington street to
Last Point, down Cherry street to Main
street, thence to Patterson, thence to the
Court 1U use yard. The Lewistown Band
and the U. A. K. Post of that town led the
procession. A detachment of Soldiers' Or
phans from Col. McFarland's school was in
line. The G. A. R. Post, and Post Band,
of this p'.ace, and the Veteran Soldiers'
Association of Juniata county, and the Port
Koyal Band, and Fire Department of Pat
terson we-e in line, which, when all told and
summed tp, formed a substantial-looking
line of 300 men. A freat crowd awaited
the tr-cesion in Court Uouse square, aud
hen quiet was restored aud al! preliminary
ceremony gone through with, Jeremiah
Lyons, of this place, was introduced and
delivered the Address of Welcome, which
was followed by the intnduction of Charles
11. Smiley, of Eloomtieid, Terry county,
who addressed the assembly. Mr. Smiley
came among us, comparatively speaking, a
stranger, lie returned to his home, having
trrvie Wany friends. He is the Republican
candidate for State Senate.
The cv.-ning session ope'irr' at 7 o'clock.
The entertainment consisted of music by
the Port Koyal and Mitllin bands, songs and
aduresset and narratives and remiuisceuces
by cowra les aud others, aud reading letters
from absent military men. A letter from
Oeneral GarStld and a letter from General
liaacock, the respective candidates for the
Presidency on the Rcpuolicln arid Demo
cratic tickets, was read. The tiih day of
October, 18S1, wis fixed as the tune for
holding the fourth annual re-union.
The horse that Colonel Robinson rode in
the war w as a conspicuous object in the pro
cession. The da was a most delight one. Every
body present enjoyed the parade, the sun
shine, the breeze, the si-ecohes under the
trees, and the magnetism of the crowd.
THE FAIR
Turned out bettct than many believed that
it would. The anguish of rebellion was felt
years ago, and now that the time to partake
of the glory, and to indulge in reruinis
cetwe of that sorrowful past and the fair
had appointments for the same time, the
crowd concluded to stand by the glory dem
onstration of the soldier Instead of paying a
visit to the fair; nd, alter one day of
surge through the streets of the town, peo
ple were not in much of a mood to ge from
home to attend any kind of entertainment.
Tie attendance at the fair on Friday was
much larger than was expected, aud toe ex
hibition was creditable.
The Port Royal Band and the MiRlintown
Band were in attendance, and a fantastic
band, captained by William SclaiTord, fur
nished amusement to socu as like the bur
lesque feature in matters of entertainment,
aad in e;.hibitions. The parade of the Pat
terson Fire Department was appreciated.
Col. Win. Bell was on the ground with a
large outfit of agricultural implements, but

The Democracy are still pounding Bob

for them to take a little talk of Jefferson

If you garble Hancock's letter on South
ern claims it appears to be in accord with
the views of the majority of the people of
the Iforth, but when you take the letter as
a whole it is susceptible of a two-fold con
struction. It is against the paymeut of
Union claims. It is against the payment of
all Claims arising out of the war. It will
suit the brigadiers. They can now shout,
that under the common csages of war no
claims for damage should be paid, but if
any are to be paid, all should be paid. To

"buring '-he middle day of the fair, W. P.

broke with a great noise, and that frighten
ed the horses in the carriage, and the result
was a double rtm-ofT. In the two vehicles
were seated Mr. Thompson's whole family,

. Mark of the Ku-Klux.
Meicxrs of the Ku-EInx Klan bad their
tools out on the street on Saturday night,
with chalk, putting a mark on pavement and

tools of the Ku-Klux have adopted la 829,
and that number they not only wrote in
chalk of three colors on pavement and
store-box, but they must needs have the im
pudence to commit Ihe outrage of chalking
the number 329 on doors of private dwell'
ing houses, and on porch floors and froct
eats of pnrate dwelling bouses. On Sun
day morning a number of citizens found it
necessary to have Ihe chalk washed off the
porch seats in front of their bouses. It
would be just the tbiug to do, to load your
shot-gun with Cue shot, not for the purpose
of killing th Ku-KIux, but for the purpose
of piit'.ifg an indellible mark on them when
they come around to deface private prop
erty. No one but a skulking Copperhead
can be guilty of such meanness.
The Chambersburg Public Opinion says :
Since the death of the bank robber Rollins,
which occurred recently in the Eastern Pen
itentiary, it has been discovered that the
diamonds taken from the handle of his
shaving brush, during his imprisonment,
and which were supposed to be worth $10,
000, are only polished paste. The balance
of bis personal priqierty comprised a hat
which, by touching a spring, could be made
to turn white or black, according to taste,
or could be made to assume half a dozen
different shapes. Then there were a couple
of silver-mounted revolvers, a bovrie knife
and a garment of silk which could be com
pressed Into so small a compass as to be
carried in one's pocket. This could be
made to serve as a white coat or a black
one, or a cloak. Then there was a pair of
shoes, the soles of which bad teen neatly
hollowed out and the iutersticea filled with
saws of tine watch-spring steel and files of a
peculiar make.
An Atlantic City exchange writes of tho
European crop reports as follows : The re
port of the harvest in Europe are of inter
est in thit conntry from the indication they
give of the prcbable demand for breadstuff's
from this country'. In most parts of the
Continent this year's harvest is a full one,
ranging froru thirty per cent, above the
average in upper Italy to a good average
yield in nearly every country, except Aus
tria and Saxony, where there is a deficit of
five to ten percent. Russia, however, one
of the great sources of grain, is an excep
tion. In the south of Russia there is an
average crop, but in the central provinces
the deficit is as much as forty per cent. In
Great Britain and Ireland the crops are
about ten per cent, below the average, and
as the gains upon the Continent scarcely bal
ance the deficiencies, especially w ith a lim
ited surplus in Russia, there will necessarily
be a demand for grain from America less,
perhaps, than last year, but still sullicient to
offset a considerable debt.
It is reported that a Democratic citi'en of
Fayette township walked into the Republi
can meeting, that was addressed by Mr.
Furst, of Bellelontc, one week ago this
evening, and took out of the meeting two I
sons and two daughters, so as to prevent '
tbera from hearing the Republican address. '.
The disbelief and prejudice of the DenioH. 1
racy is beyond comprehension. In ISOO
they did not believe that the purpose of the '
leaders of the Deui'cracy was to rebel j i
they did not believe it till Sumpter was fir-1
ed on. Now they close their eyes and turn
away from the plain indication that if the
Democracy succeed in electing Hancock
and a cooperating Congress, all of the old
ideas of the leaders will be put into prac
tice. They will influence Hancock as early
as they influenced Buchanan. If Hancock
and a Democratic Congress be elected,
there will be no Repub'ican party entrench,
ed behind the forms of law to prevent them
from doing as they please. A bitter expe
rience will cause such Democratic citizens
as the Fayette township man to regret the
treatment of bis children. Certainly we
would not say one word against parental au
thority, for it is the first and highest au
thority in the world among freemen ; but a
man may carry his prejudice into his au
thority, and that is not what should be done.
The master rulers in the South carried their
authority against parental authority, against
marriage relations, and if they get the
chance they will repeat their past work and
further extend it, to include what they call
ed the poor "white trash aud the mudsills
of Northern society." Can it bo that the
hope of a small office, and bitter prejudice
can so blind men that they will act indirect
vpiosition to the highest interests of them
selves and of their families.
Ax Englishman who writes for Chamber's
Journal was badly fooled once. lie was
standing in his door when a man rusted
past him into his shop carrying a keg on bis
shoulder. He lifted it off, put it on the
counter and said to the merchant : "Friend,
do me the favor of letting this stop here an
bonr or -o. It is a couple of gallons of
brandy which has not done duty to tne
Queen. I have brought it at the request of
a gentleman who promised to meet me here
at ten o'clock. I've been all through the
market looking for him, but Bare not fonnd
him. Jusc now, I got a glimpse of the ex
ciseman; and as he has some little knowl
edge of me that is not goaid, I became
afraid ol being seen by liim ; so if you will
let the keg abide here while I look for its
purchaser, I will do you a good turn some
time." The merchant consented, saying,
however, that he wonld disclaim it if the
exciseman came in. Thu stranger left it,
and returned in the afternoon, rubbing his
bands gleeiully, and saying : "Good, good !
So the receiver of the Queen's revenue has
not found yon out. So far so good. But
I've had my trouble for nothing; my custo
mer has not turned up. What to do with
the keg of brandy I know not. W ill you
bny it, friend f It is a drop of as good a
brandy as ever went into a person's month.
Come, you shall taste it. Just fetch a
glass." A glass was brought, the stranger
took a tap out of his pocket, drove it into
the tap-hole, and drew some excellent bran
dy. This the merchant tasted, and then
ihe other man offered him the two-gallon
ki"g of brandy for a sovereign very cheap
for good brandy. The merchant, knowing
w here be could sell it if he wished, bought
the brandy, and concluded to take it home
for family us". He drew bis wife a glass
or brandy and tried to draw another for
himse'ifi but it was "no go.1' Then he
knocked off a boop and took out A stave of
a lid. The barrel waa fall of water, except
that a tin tube bad been fixed, one end in
the bnngbole, the other Chd in the tophole ;
this had been filled with good liquor
scarcely half a pint. Ail the rest of the
space contained water.

COMMUNICATED.
A correspondent writes from McAlister
ville, in regard to the grand Republican
demonstration there on the occasion of the
raising of a Garfield and t rthSr pcle, on
the 21st inst., as follows :
One of the grandest demonstrations in the
county was held by the Republicans last
night (Sept. 21). The people began arriv
ing early. A torchlight procession was bd
by meunted men, and men on foot, headed
by the McAlisterville Cornet Band. After
the parade, the hall in the Orphan School
building was filled to &vertowinft. The
honse would not bold half the people pres
ent. General Beaver, who was to have been
here, received orders to go to Ohio, to a
sist in Ihe caniaign (here, and sent Mr. A.
O. Furst, an able attorney, and most effect
ual campaigner, to fill his appointment,
which be did to the entire satisfaction and
delight of the'audience: His speech will
be long remembered aa one of the most ef
fective by us. General Beaver will address
us after bis return from Ohio. The pole
that was pnt up on the occasion is a pretty
one, and is between 90 and l'.K) feet high.
A DREAM OF LIFE.
I built me a vessel long years ago.
And I fitted it out like the gallevs of old ;
Ita sails were as while aa the fresh fallen
snow,
And its bows were resplendent with crim
son ana gelu.
Its bulwarks ere firm, aud its masts strong
and tall,
And a gay colored pennon on high was
spread ;
The beauty of youth lent a charm to it all,
And an intaae of Hope was its prom' tig
ore head.
1 launched it one morn in the spring of Ihe
year,
When the breezes were low and the sun
beams were bright.
Aud I, in the pride oiuiy youth, bad no fear
Of the strength of Ibe waves, or the gloom
ol the nisht.
Co i dreamed of the riches my galley would
bring
From the lands where no b.irk bad been
ever before ;
But the summer passed by, and spring wore
round to spring.
And ny vessel returned not, alas, to the
shore !
At length, one dark autumn, it came tacU
to me,
But its masts were sll broken, its bows
were bare ;
Its bulwarks were covered with growth of
the sea,
And the figure of Hope waa no longer
there ;
While it brought me for freight but the
drift ot the wave,
The sea loam and weeds that bad lain in it
long ;
And I mournfully sighed as I gazed on the
grave
Of the dreams that were bright when life's
