count or a drunken row, in which one ine
briate literally carved the face of the other,
with a razor. in the most *booking sell brutal
manner. Dr. D. Leonsr4 Pratt—formerly of
Towaucia—was called and sewed up the
frightful gashes with such skill as to call
forth the following high compliment from
the Chief-of-Police' and the city prase: -
Dr. Pratt informed a 13Liosz reporter yes
terday,that Mr. Licons , the man literally cot
to piec es with a sailor on Saturday night, was
doing as well as could be expected. He is
man of more than ordinary risTre, and bore
up under the operation of stitching the
frightful gashes with extraurdicary coolness
and nntlitichteg fortitude. He was yesterday
rating quite elm'', at the cottage hospital.
Chief Munger told the reporter that he had
been present many times when similar opera
tions to the one above referred towere being
performed. but, to Dr. Pratt's credit be it
said, he had never witaessed a more skillful
piece of surgical work conerimmated.—Min

wound, which bled profusely, vas so deep
that the blood ran gown his throat, causing
him to vomit frequently. The young man
was atonco brought to Waverly, where be

Johnson street. Dr. Johnsons, of Waverly
and . Di. Brown of Athens, attended the
wounded man: and were still with him at a

On Monday afternoon considerable excite

Mate atnet. The team was stopped at the
corner si t if Main and Bridge streets , before any
damag*.was done. lt,is a standing libel on
the weaker 'sex that they always thro* up
their hands arid hollow "shoo I" when they
are frightened at anything, whether u moose
or an elephant. Now every blessed man who
attempted to atop that team "in its mad
career" down our - crowded thoroughfare,
threw up his' hat and bawled out "shoo

fellow said nothing; but with Spartan heroism

He was subieenently married to Myra Gid4'

Giddings. i
.Mr., Blackman - was appointed a justice of
the pence in 1838 by Gov. Wolfe. and Was kb
'tiespiently elioted and re-elected to the same
office for many years. In`one of his publish
ed sketches of the early history of the M.E.
Church, of Pittston, he states that in .1836 be
was the only, male member in this locality.
In 1816 he was appointed ono of a committee
to select the site and erect the church n , ,w
occupied twits° society, whi - db •was dedicated

For the last seventeen rears of bir life, Ur
Blackman made his home with his devoted
daughter, Mrs. Knapp, where enjoyed every
comfort that he could have - desired. A por
tion of his leisure, for several years, end j
quite recently, he employed in writing recol
lections-of olden times. Many of his sketches
of the• pioneers of the Valley and its early his
tory ,have appeared in the Ccuette. Others
were published in Wilkes-Barre and Bradford
county. papers. In the collection of historieal
matters, during the recent centennial cele.
bration Mr. Blackman's' contributions were
important, owing to hie clear mind and re
tentive memory., Big family, tco, have - heen
quite remarkable for longevity. His uncle,
i - Elisba,.a Revolutionary veteran, was the only
survivor of the Massacre to participate in the
ceremony of dedicating the Wyoming Monu

of 90 years old at his death.
Theluneral took place last Sunday. after

the mourning relatives present were two
great-grandchildren. sons of Rev. W. B. Vfest-'

represented, the deceased having requested
that be be buried with the ceremonies of the
Brethren of the mystic tie. ILev."o. W, Scott,
of the West Pittston M. E. Church, and Pre

feelingly of the Christian life and example of
patriarch in the attach as he had known him,
at'the conclusion ot the discourske by the-pas
tor, Bev. S. C. Fulton, which we publish here
with, substantiaßy is delivered. We can, add
little to this eloquent eulogy;'so richly merit
ed, farther than to say that Many years' Wi

familiarised us wills the beauties of 'character
for width he was so nniveisally beloved.
Barely, indeed, does a man combine the qual
ities to so command the esteem and affection
of his fellow-men, and few leave behind so
grand a heritage • when life's transient day is
over. The taneral exercises closed with his
favorite hymn, "Asleep in Jesus," and alarge
concourse of friends followed the remains to
their last resting place, in the West Pittston
Cemetery, where they - were interred with
Masonic bettors.
Father Blackman, whose remains we come
to-day to bum was one of the few who have
lingered to tell the present generation of the
straggles of the fathers for national existence
and religious liberty. His birth and early life
date back to one of the most eventful and im
portant epochs in the political and ecclesias
tical history of his country. He was born
December 15,1791, at Hornbrook. in this State,
only eight years after the dem:math°, of the
peace which closed the (Mice revolutionary
struggle between England and America. But
two years before his birth the government of
this country was organized under the federal
constitution, with Washington at its head.
He was one year old when Washington was
inaugurated the second time serresident,end
he was eight years old when Washington died.
He was old enough to have conversed intellk
gently with Washington, Franklin, Hamilton,
Adams, ; 14 ma rersoti and others of the glorious
men of olden times. His life ran par
allel with early the entire growth and devel
opment of this country. from the earlier times
until now,
Tonchin eceleplastical history: only seven
years before his birth was the Met hodist
Church hit the United States organizd, and
Coke aneAsbuty were ordained as its first
bishops. At bis birth the church of his choice
in this country numbered about ninety minis •
tars and 17,000 members; before he died the
same church contained 18,042 ministers and
8,049,161 memberei while Methodism in all its
branches throughout the _world numbered
nearly 0,000,000 of communicants, represent
ing
a population of about 24,000,000 souls.
AU this immense growth was pressed into
the period covered by his life, (living one
band to Asbury.the first bishop, and the other
to Hurst, the most recently ordained bishop
of his. church, with both of whom he was co
temporary, he could have completed a trio
representing the entire progress and ; history
of the Methodist Episcopal ()hutch in thin
country. He was born in the very year in
which the great Founder of Methodism closed
his eyes in death, sweetly Wavering, "The
best of sib is, God is with us." ' How) this
thought, tt i.i t al the year that took Wesley from
us gave us who sleeps so peacefully before

What an intenaireslity it gives to the men

Father Blackman was an intelligent Chris
tian gentleedim Born in - an eventful period
in the Mate ' of thiscountry and his church,
be seems to have inherited a,
il u
deep and *bid
ing interest . the affairs cif both. He " kept
himself, eve to the last, literally his latest
hours, abreast with the current topics and
events of his time!. He took ever a deep and
intelligent interest in'every_ difficult problem
his country, had to solve. "He was a patriot ani
wallas a Christian. But religion clay nearest'
his heart, and his church was the object of
his tenderest care. He understood thorough
ly its doctrines and polity, and was an ardent
lover of both. Though ' coming down to us
from the "Heroic Age," he never sighed over
"the former days as being better than these,"
but kept himself fresh and free from all such
complaininge,heutily sympathizing with mod
ernMethodhim, and every new and necenw
adaptation of his church to meet the demands
of the present. Accustomed to looking upon
the giants of the times in which be was both
and reared, he yet could see much of good in
the men of "these degenerate days." Wheth
er the minister sent him was elder young,
experienced or inexperienced, be was always
honored and welcomed and Jolted as a servant
of the Lord•Tesus by liiin; .- .

Christian he would always lament his early
neglect. This he quoted almost word for
word, , expressing himself as perfectly agree. ,
ins with it, and deeply regretting that bo had
haves keenly felt the truth of , it in his own
exPerienge. Oh, if he could but hue the op
portunity that is mum Ibis moment of
speaking to this large assembly, bow would ho

growing out of youth to-day to begin at Once

for them—to cammenoe without delay the
great life-long work of ! achitiviog characters
that shall tso acceptable' at last to Clod; dills
eater that shall be symmetrical and stand the
severest test to which they may be subjected.
It takes a lifetime to complete such spiritual
building. and U we begin *Snot now the work
most remain detective and, in some sense,
unfinished forever. Those cold, dumb lips
cannot plead with ~yon urging to wise action
in Ibis regard; but see to it that "ye refute
not him that speaketh." - And remember, too,
the necessity of taking up this work at once,
in view of the fact that they are exceedingly
rare who begin as late in life as ho did so do
this work. As a rule Mau change not in their
characters after forty yews. of life have stamp-
ed their impression upon them. Delay is on
spetikably hassrdoxs. He was saved at forty,
but we postponing our salvation to that time
may miss it forever.
'Though coming late into the service of God,
be was an earnest, devoted • .worlier im that
service. Ha was one of the founders and ono
ot the first trustees of this church. By his
irdi•king and giving and living he contributed
much towerds the Imildhot up of this society,
which bas so greatly grown in these last years
seta necessitate its ctivision again and again.
He was no spiritual laggard. He worked as
ever under his great Taskmaster's eye, as hue
who clearly recognized the immense respons
ibilities of the Christian profession and life,
and as one who genii:tatty strove to be able to
render a good and faithtni account of his
stewardship.
His testimony -to the preciousness and
power of grace was always clear, satisfactory
and conducing.
How often have we heard him in his calm,
self:poseeseed way thanking God for his many
mercies, especially for "the comforta and con
solations of religion." Many times did he visit
me in'my study, but never once too often, nor
once too long, telling me than all earthly
pleasures had lost their charm for him, that
they had ail ceased to gratify 614 satisfy, but
there was oue source of enjoyment which
never failed, the grace and love of Christ in
his soul. He would soy: "The , men of my
generation pave all gene; one after another
they have - paesed away,. and I am left alone.
Although my newer and later friends are very
kind, yet oftentimes I feel exceedingly lone
ly; but thanks be to God there is One who is, '
ever with me. my; precious Savior. am
-alone, yet not alone."
This grace in his heart oweetened all his
life, and enabled him to do what so many
greater men have failed to accomnlish—to
grow old cheerfully, . beautifully and grace
bat- he did • this was evident to all who
knew him. Let gm mention a fact or two in
proof of the statement. His love for little
children; lie was very mach like oar vener
able founder, Wesley, i n - 'thin regard. Wesley,
you remember could Aardly peals a child in
his later years, without-taking the little one
up in his arms. kissing it. ana then giving it
his uleastug. Father Blackman was very mach
, like that in his treatment of the little ones.
They will miss him and his kind, sweet.words
of recognition and cheer. Again, that he
increasing
liveold beautifully is been in his
hive of the beahtiful. He was almost patedon
ately fond of flowers in his last years. 1
But there is lin evidebce of this fact that
weighs More Wan all others in my estimation.
some months ago be brought me his scrap
book, in which be bad carefully gathered up
the venous newspaper article_e_he had written
through his later years. These *Well's con-
Weed reminiscences of many matters, many
pieces. and of wittily men. I went through
them Tato carefully. At -l the same time I
happened to be reading the 'igteminiscences"
of that great. old &etch philosopher, Thomas
Carlyie. I ;could not help being impressed
with the i marked contrast between the two
sets of reminiscences. Carlyle's reminiscen
ces were fuilof n.ean and unmanly, bitter and
uuchantable things concerniug almost every
one whose life he touched. Even his best
friends, those who bad helped him the most
in his early struggles, and who had passed
away, and could.not appear to defend them
selves, Buffet ed severely at his hands. Bat I.
could not after careful searching lino a single
unmanly, bitter or uncharitable word con
cerning any one 4 . 1 the many reminiscences
of this dear old man, who sleeps so sweetly in
death 'before us. PI( those whose lives he
touched hid. fault& and failings he did not
seem to know it; or else ' generously and
charitably covered the ugly tkars. If those
reminiscences had come to me from my lath,
et, I would cherish them as amongst the most
sacred and precioris of heirlooms. This beau
tiful ellaritY4howed the purity and sweetness
of his tears. At peace with himself, at peace
with his God, he had no quarrels with others,
and could afford to speak ever the noble, geu
eines word concerning them. What "divine
philosophy" failed to do fur the great old sour
hearted philosopher, a diviner religion ac
complished for the humble, sweet-souled
Christian. Thank there is something' that
can sweeten thelite and taltealtuncharitable
ness and envy oat of the hears. That some
thing 'is the grace - , the love of Otirigt that
brought such sweetness and light into the life
of our dear old departed father and friend.
Earnestly could I pray that every one in this
presence who its destined . to grow old. might
learn the sweet secret of growing old as be
did,cheerfully, beautifully an 4 gracefully, ever
growing-riper and mellower for the gathering
of the angels.
Bat if we are not permitted to reach hie
years, God grant that we may die is trustfully,
as fearlessly, as 'rejoicingly, as triumph
antly as be died. After death -struck him, I
was. appraised of the fact, and hastened at
once to his bedside. 'He bad rallied some
whait and had just finished repeating his fav
orite hymn,—
• demi. lover of my soul,
_ Let me to thy bosold dy, etc.
He recognized me. and asked me to pray with
him. ; Earnest and touching were bit amens
to every petitipn of that prayer. When I arose
from my knees.be reached odt his hand, and
said, ''Good bye, God bless you." This large
congregation does not represent wealth
enough to buy that benedtction of the dear,
old dying saink from me. ,• /t is a power binde
nog my heart td the throne. That ''blessing,
like a line alight shall follow me where're I
go." - His blessing fell on others as „well; as
myself. May the Lord help thorn to rightly
value and cherish it.
The dear old 'link that so 'long has bound
us to the past has dropped out of the chain
of life. A. hush is upon all of our lips, and a
aaduess in all our hearts. . '
'got we tighter the touch of his vanished hand,
And the sound of his voice that I. attn."
A word to- the young. You have.had his
example before you for years. Will you not
follow him, as he followed Christ? That
bright example puts a new obligation upon
you to live religiously.
Men of middle years, out of Christ. Let me
urge you not to postpone longer seeking the
new lire that came to him when be stood
where you stand today—midway between the
cradle and the grave.
Let me urge the members of his Order, to
let that pure and noble life lead you all to look
op more and more. Let it be to you a star,
whose light shall ever guide you toward the
skies. At you perrorm the beautiftll ceremony
of your old Masonic ritual at hisWrave, and
drop thii evergreen branches upon his coffin,
.let it not be a mere empty form to you, but
keep ever green in your memories, his many
virtues to your own souls good here and here-

after.
To all. We shall miss the; familiar form,.
so often seen in our midst, the dear old face
will look out upon us no More here, bat there
is coming a time, in which we may meet him,
