Castle, in connection with their pur

OUR paper is filled this week with
all it is possible to give concerning the
death and funeral ceremonies of Presi
dent Garfield. We have thought that
nothing else would BO much interest
our readers.
CLEVELAND will hereafter be anoth
er Mount Vernon to the people of the
United States and visited as such, to
see where the remains of Qarfield re
pose,.with as much veneration as tbej
would visit the spot where repose the
remains of Washington.
ANY voter who has not paid his taxes
should remember that he must do so
prior to the 9th of next month if he
wishes to make sure of getting bis
vote. Members of the County Com
mittee should see to this matter in
their different districts.
CREDITABLE: —The ladies of the
Presbyterian church, of this place, have
sent to the sufferers of the Michigan
fires three or four large boxes of cloth
ing, containing from three to four
hundred pieces, suitable for men, wo
men and children. This contribution
is creditable to those ladies and the
citizens of this place.
THE Queen's message to Mrs. Qar
field is very tender and womanly and
really very touching:
"Words cannot express the deep
sympathy I feel with you at this terri
ble moment. May God support and
comfort you as He alone can.
VICTORIA."
THE Queen also presented, through
her Minister at the Government, a fine
floral wreath for the funeral services,
which was one of the tributes to the
memory of Garfield that was attached
to his coffin and borne with it to his
grave.
THE CITIZEN is issued one day later
this week than usual, owing to Mon
day being the day on which the mortal
remains of the late lamented President
Garfield were consigned to their rest
ing place at Cleveland, 0., and which
was observed throughout the Nation
as a day of mourning, and on which
all labor ceased.
Our readers will therefore under
stand why their paper comes to them
a little later this week than usual.
Monday last was a funeral day all
oVer the land, and the mourners were
all the people.
A NOTE from A. D. Weir, Esq., Re
publican candidate for Associate Judge
of this countv, informs us that he is
confined to his home at present bv an
attack of rheumatism. He had ex
pected to have got down to the Har
mony Fair this week and bis friends
there will consequently understand
why they are disappointed in not seeing
him. He has many friends all over
the county who feel a lively interest in
election this fall, and who will work
for bis success whether he is able to
see them or not. The office for which
be is nominated, Associate Judge, is
one he is admirably qualified to fill.
THE events of the past ten days can
hardly be realized. They have been
like a dream—or a shadow passing
over. From Klberon, at the sea, where
the President breathed his last, to
Washington, and from Washington, i
the Capitol of the Nation, to Cleveland, j
on Lake Erie, where the remains of j
the great and good Garfield are to lie,
never have there been such scenes
witnessed in this or any other country.
Never such impressive funeral services.
Never such honor paid to the memory
and remains of any man. And ail
this not only that he was President,
but because he was a good man, and
becanse of his untimely taking of!.
AT REST.
The remains of the late President
now lav near his old home, hid from
the world forever. It was fitting that
they were taken there. From his re
pose in Lake View Cemetery, Cleve
land, is a view of Lake Erie. Here a
monument will be erected by the peo
ple, such as has never been reared in
this country to any other man.
We are unable to give this week an
account of the ceremonies at Cleve
land. They were on a scale the most
grand and imprest ive. A temporary
pavilion, or tent was erected in the
public square of the city, in which the
remains lay, in a catafalque, through
Saturday and Sunday last and on
Monday until removed to the cemetery.
This pavilion is described as most
grand, being covered with flowers and
wreaths the most beautiful. Never
before were such a profusion of flow
ers strewn on the bier of man. As the
funeral car passed on its way from
Long Branch, New Jersey, to Cleve
land, Ohio, thousands of people as
sembled to see it, the men uncovering
their heads as it passed, and the wo
men weeping and casting flowers on
and before it. Such a funeral train
never passed through the land. The
whole scene, from the sea to the lake,
was the most impressive ever witness
ed in this country. Bat we cease to
write, for
"When the heart is fall, when the bitter
thoughts
Come crowding thickly up for utterance
The poor common words—
Are snch a very mockery."
SaHHBBBSS
THE NEW PRESIDE NT.
President Arthur, was sworn in
to office twice ; the first time at his resi
dence in the city of New York on the
night of the death of President Gar
field, or rather at 2 o'clock in the morn
ing of the next day, 20th inst. Then
again he took the oath of office after
reaching Washington, on the 22nd
inst. This was taken before the Chief
Justice ofthe Supreme Court of the U. S
and other high officials. It is said that
this second oath was thought best, in or
der that the new President might have
an opportunity to make an address or
expression that would tend to allay
the fears of the people as to bis course.
That the public mind was fearful, and
even sensitive, on this point was ap
parent to all. It could not but be
known to the new President. It was
prudent and timely therefore that ho
should speak the necessary word, and
quiet the general apprehensions. He
has done so. And it is received as
satisfactory. He indicates that the
measures of policy and administration
begun by his lamented predecessor
shall not be lost to the Nation, but
will be respected by him. By inviting
the present Cabinet to remain in their
offices, he gives further assurance of
bis respect for the sentiment and feel
ing in his own party. For this is
what bis party asks—yea, demands.
Any suddon change of Cabinet or oth
er important officers would undoubted
ly be disasterous. President Arthur
must know this, and we believe does
know it, and will act accordingly. The
confidence of all is now due to him as
our President. He comes to the office
according to the law and should be re
spected as such. If he carries out the
spirit of bis declarations all will be
well—if he fails to do so, every friend
of Garfield in the Nation, and they are
all the people, will rise up to denounce
and execrate him.
THE BULLET.
Among the items concerning the
dead President will be specially no
ticed the pout mortem or after death
examination by the physicians, and
their certificate of the mortal nature of
the gun shot wound. While they
1 were totally mistaken as to where the
bullet had lodged in his body—it l>e
ing found not even on the side of the
body they had supposed it to be—yet
the fact was discovered by them that
its track was fatal, and that death was
inevitable from the first, by reason of
the injury it inflicted. All this will
go far to reconciling the people to their
treatment of the case. He could not
have lived had tho treatment been
different or what it may. Tho spine
was hit, and badly wouuded, although
the ball did not break or pass directly
through it. The only thing that does
seem strange is, that they could not
tell that the spine was injured. The
total bodily helplessness of the Presi
dent, with other symptoms he com
plained of or exhibited, led many to |
believe and say that his spine was in
jured. But it is all useless to criticize
the surgeons now. Doubtless it was
impossible for them to discover where
the bullet had gone, and it so they'
could not tell the injury it done on its
fatal road.
—'God reigns and the Government
at Washington still lives.' How little
be knew what was on store for him
when he spoke those words!

IN MO US NINO.
The Nation is in mourning. The
evidence of it is all around us, and in
every city, town and village of the
land.
In this place, on the morning the
news of the President's death came, as
if by a common impulse nearly
every house, office, store or shop, on
the leading streets of our town were
draped in mourning and yet remain
so. The public buildings were also
draped and remain so. The sugges
tion is that they be permitted to re
main draped for the period of at least
thirty days. This the occasion will
ju6tifv. Not even thirty days will
dry the tears of all this people for the
loss of James A. Garfield.
———
THE FAIR.
BEST EVER IN SUTLER.
The Fair for this year has come and
gone, and the expression of all attend
ing it was, "it was the best ever held
in the county." It was a success in
every way. More people were in
Butler on" Wednesday last than ever
known on any one day. From all
parts of the couuty young and old
came. One of the great benefits and
pleasures of a county Fair is the bring
ing and seeing so many people togeth
er. The effect socially is very good,
outside of all other benefits. We met
a number of gentlemen from the sur
rounding counties, all of whom said it
was the finest county Fair, with more
people present, and a better display
generally, than any they had known of
this year. To speak of everything or
all on exhibit would be almost impos
sible. Every department was well
represented. But in one matter ourcoun
tv has achieved a State reputation that
must be specially mentioned, and that
is in her
HORSES.
If taking the first premium at the
State Fair held at Pittsburgh is the
test, then Butler county has the finest
and best horse in the State. The
Clydesdale horse of Mr. Geo. Maize
land, of Clinton township, this county,
received the first premium at the State
Fair and also received at our own last
week. This is a distinction for the
county in the horse line that is credi
table to it, and will doubtless lead to
still further emulation and effort to im
prove our horses. Having now receiv
ed the first honor, let our farmers
all strive to keep up and enlarge the
reputation of our county for good
horses.
Besides the splendid Clydesdale of
Mr. Maizeland there were "other good
ones on the ground, owned by Moreland
and Lardin, of Karns City, P. Bauer,
of Summit township, Julian A. Clark,
of Prospect, and others. Mr. Clark's
horse had just been imported from
Scotland, landing here about three
weeks ago. In Hambletonians there
were some fine ones, James Stephen
gon, of Summit, had his fine Black
Prince (from Dexter), Lewis Bolton,
ot Prospect, a fine colt; Dp. Lejghner,
of Prospect his much admired Senaca
Prince; J. S Hayes, of Connoque
nessing his beautiful horse Jay Gould;
Hyle, Emel and others had fine colts.
F. C. Buhl had a fine span of driving
horses; Thomas Hoon had a fine heavy
draft bay ; William Shepherd, a fine
English Coach horse ; A. O. Kberhart,
a fine beautiful Canadian colt; John
Waters, a fine WafTiuden colt; Abner
Patton, the best jack and a fine pair of
mules. Mr. Turner, of Ilarlensburg,
Lawrence county, had the second best
Clydesdale in weight und appearance
and took the second premium on samo,
Mr. Robert Ilesselgesser had his largo
stock of Clydesdale horses, mares and
colts, on the ground and on which he
took a number of premiums.
Among the blooded horses we find
Seneca Prince who was bred in Seneca
county, S, Y-, and is owned by J. M.
Lieghner, of Prospect, Pa. This horse
has become a great favorite through,
out this and adjoining counties, and
the fine trotting he displayed last
Thursday afternoon upon the track
certainly warrants the hopes of his
future greatnew ua a trotter and a
trotting sire. His conformation is re
markable. Every point indicate
strength and nothing in his make up
seems delicate or sufierfluous. The
books show him to be the winner of
first prize for blooded horses 4 years
old and over, and his yearling and
weanling colts won the premiums both
first and second in the blooded class
also.
CATTLE.
Next in importance would be the
cattle, a large exhibit being present.
Mr. J. K. Dain had a herd of 11 A'-
derneys and took the leading premiums
here, as he did on some of his fine Al
derneys at the State Fair, where he re
ceived $475 in premiums. He had the
best Alderney bull and cow. Any of
our farmers wishing to have the Al
derney stock should visit the farm of
Mr Dain, in Buffalo township.
M. iI. Byerly, Esq. had a fine Al
derney cow and took a premium. John
J. Reiber & Co. had several very fine
cows and calves and got four "red rib
bons" on same. The line Alderney
bull of F. Reiber, Esq., was on tlie
ground and took another premium. Of
Durhams, S. W. Crawford, of Jeffer
son towhship, Miller Hutchison, of
Clay, Andrew Albert, of Center, Wil
liam M. Rrown, of Forward, and oth
ers had some fine specimens. I). B
Douthctt, of Forward, had a very fine
Alderney heifer
HMKEP AND SWINE.
Never before were there such a
cumber and variety of sheep and hogs
on exhibit as were at the Fair last
week. There were some forty pens of
each. It was a very general remark
that the display of sheep arid hogs
were large; and good. Merinos, South
downs, Cotswolds, etc., in sheep, and
Yorkshire, Berkshire, Suffolk, China,
etc., in hogs, showed the great improve
ment going on in the county in those
linen.
The poultry was without number
and of every variety. This depart
ment was very well represented and
the crowing that was done, and gener
al noise made in and about it, attract
ed very general attention as well as
admiration We could not learn the
names of all the exhibitors to thin in
teresting department. Chickens, ducks,
geese und turkeys of all kinds and
feather were on hand.
GRAIN AND VKU ETABI.KS.
Wheat, rye, corn, potatoes, beets,
squashes, beans, onions, carrots, egg
plants, pumpkins, etc., all had a good
exhibit. We could ascertain the names j
of but few of the exhibitors. Mr. Jas. ;
Stephenson had fine Odessa wheat. !
Mrs. John Myers, several varities j
of fine potatoes. Among the potatoes ,
we noticed the Victor, which is said to
be fast gaining much favor. The
Early Rose was the most plentiful,
but the Burbank, Garnett, Peerless
and other varieties were numerous.
Mr. J. W. Bortmass, from his fine gar
den field at this place, had fine corn,
squashes, tomatoes, sweet potatoes,
etc., on which he received premiums.
Mr. Christian Bortmass also bad very
fine squashes, pumpkins, etc., which
received premiums.
FLORAL HALL.
Want of time prevented us giving
much time to this department, but the
displays by the ladies in needle work
were much admired. We only learned
the names of a few makers. Mrs. Abi
gail Karnes had a fine silk quilt for
which a first premium was awarded
Mrs. Edwards had a hearth rug and
tidv. Mrs. Mackey, a tidv, lace, col
lars, etc. Mrs. Joseph 13. Mechling
in this department had on exhibit some
very good bread and butter. Many
other articles in the domestic line were
also in this hall which we cannot now
mention.
The farming machinery, buggies,
etc., were said to be of the latest and
best improvements. The Reno Bros.,
of this place, made a creditable exhibit
of their marble shop work, in specimens
of monuments, etc., for the dead.
THE GLASS BALL MATCIL
The glass ball shoot which took
place at the Fair grounds on Wednes
dav morning, under the auspices of
the Game and Fish Association of
Butler county was well attended.
Shooters being present from Parker,
Karns City, Haysville, Troutman and
MillerstoWn. The match was best out
of fifteen balls thrown from a mole ro
tating trap, and considering the place
they had to shoot in is fully up to the
average. Mr. John N. Muntz, of But
ler, made tbe best score, breaking 12 of
the 15 balls. The other scores run as
follows: G. W. Ziegler, 11, W. C.
Thompson, 10, Joseph Darling, 9, A.
J. Brown, 8, Alex, llussel, 8, A. Bell,
7, B. Kratzer, 7, H. Shanor, 7, E. J.

Waut of space prevents any further
present notice of the Fair.
WORDS OF WISDOM.
TbP following are extracts from ad
dresses made by President Garfield on
certain occasions during his life. They
will be read now with peculiar interest.
"Oh! sir; thpre are times in the
history of men and natiops .when they
stand so near the vail that separates
mortals and immortale, time from eter
nity, and men from their God that
they can almost hear the beating and
(eel the pulsations of the infinite.
Through such a time Jias this nation
passed. When two hundred awd fifty
thousand brave spirits passed from the
field of honor thfough ttat thin vail to
the presence of God, and when at last
jts parting folds admitted that niartyr
od President company of the
dead heroes of the Jiopuhljp, the nation
stood so near the vail that the whis
pers of God were heard by tbe chib
dren of men."—James A. Garfield on
the assassination of President Lincoln.
"Fellow-citizens I Clouds and dark
news ape round about him ! His pa
vilion is dark waters and thick cjoqds
of tbe skies I Justice and judgment
are the establishment of His throne!
Mercy and truth shall go before His
face! Fellow-citizens! God reigns,
an<l the Government at Washington
uti|l lives"—.james A. Garfield at
New York tbe time of the assassina
tion of President Lincoln.
"This day will be sadly memorable
so long as this nation shall endure,
which God grant my be till the last
syllable of recorded time, wheli the
volume of human history shall be
sealed up and delivered to the Omnip
otent Judge."—Jatnes A. Garfield on
the first anniversary of tbP de«4l> of
President Lincoln.
"I look forward with joy and hope
to the day when our brave people, uim
in heart, one in their aspirations for
freedom and peace, shall see that the
darkness through which we have trav
eled was but a "pit" thtt stern but
beneficent discipline by which the
Groat Dispenser of Kvents has been
leading us on to a higher and nobler
national life."—James A. Garfield.
"Individuals may wear for a tiipe
the glory of our institutions, but they
carry it not to the grave with them.
Like raindrops from heaven, they may
pass through the circle of the shining
bow and add to its lustre, but when
they liaye sunk in the earth again the
proud arch still spftns the sky and
shines gloriously on,"—J amps A- fiar
field.
"From the genius of our Govern
ment, the pathway to honorable dis
tinction lies open to all. No post of
honor so high but the poorest boy ma}'
hope to reach it. It is the pride of
every American that many cherished
names, at whose mention our hearts
beat with a quicker bound, were worn
by the sous of poverty, who conquered
obscurity and Itecame fixed stars in
our firmament."—James A. Garfield
"I have represented for many years
ft District in Congress wbose approba
tion I grtatly desired, but though it
may seem, perhap*, a little egotistical
to say it, I yet desired still morp tjfe
approbation of one person, and hiu
name was Garfield. He is the only
man 1 am compelled to sleep with, and
eat*with, and live with, and die with,
and if I could not have his approba
tion I should have bad company."—
JA. Garfield before the Ohio
Senate, iitQ
"We hold reunions, wotfojr £}>" dead,
for there is nothing in all the eartj*
that you and I can do for the dead.
They are past our help and past our
praise. We can add to them no glory
—we <ran give to them no immortality.
Tftey do uot need us, but forever and
(orcvi»r»wo/'« yyv need them."—James
A. Garfield,
The world's history is a
Poem of which the history of every
Nation is a canto and every man a
word. Its strains have been pealing
along down the centuries, and though
there have been mingled tho discords
of warring cannon and dying men, yet
to the Christian, Philosopher and llis
torian—the bumble listener—t ! iere has
been a Divine melody running through
tho song which speaks of hope ami
halcyon daystocome. —James A. Gar
lield.
I love to believe that no heroic sac
rifice is ever lost, that the characters
of men are moulded and inspired by
what their fathers have done; that,
treasured up in American souls are all
the unconscious influences of tbe great
deeds of tbe Anglo-Saxon race, from
Agincourt to Bunker Hill.—James A.
