There are a dozen times that number

Death of Hon. Jacob Ziegler.
Jacob Ziegler. a citizen so well
known to all of üb, passed peacefully
away at aboat 10 o'clock last Satur
day morning, May 19, in the 75th
year of his age.
His death was not wholly unex
pected, and while all feared, yet all
hoped, they might see his familiar
form still more around and among us.
Of his particular disease we need not
speak, but it enforces the truth of the
lines which say:
"Oar life contains s thousand springs,
And die* if one be wrong."
Mr. Ziegler suffered patiently, un
complainingly. In our visits to bis
sick-room we heard no complaints, uo
regrets. He died resigned, sleeping
away bis life as it were, yet conscious
to the end. No citizen could hare
departed from our midst for whom
there is more sincere sorrow. None
had a stronger bold upon the affec
tions of our people.
la his autobiography, as found in
the history of thfß county, it is stated
that he was born in Adams connty,
this State, and came to Butler in the
year 1831, a boy of 18 years of age.
That he rapidly grew in faror with
onr people appears from the fact that
soon after, in 1835, when but 22
years of age, he was made clerk to
the board of County Commissioners.
Three years later, 1838, we find him
appointed, by the Governor of the
State, Prothonotary of the county,
and in the fall of the same year, the
Constitution of the State baring been
changed and that office with others
me.de electire by the people, we find
him elected Prothonotary of the
county by the people. We well
recollect seeing him serre in that ca
pacity and a more popular officer, or
more popular man, we suppose never
has lived in the county. He was
admitted to the Bar about the close
of his term of office, but nerer engag
ed actirely in the practice of the law.
Soon after, 1842, he was one of the
founders of the Democratic Herald,
a paper which, although changing
ownership sereral times, always ex
ercised a great influence in its party
councils. In 1847 he was elected a
member of the General Assembly for
the county, and from that time up to
1867, twenty yeara, he filled sereral
offices at Harrisbarg, among them
clerk or assistant clerk in both Senate
and Honse a number of sessions. He
was also, within that time, chief clerk
in the office of the Secretary of the
Commonwealth during the Adminis
tration of Gov. Bigler, three years.
He also filled an office in one of the
departments at Washington within
that time.
In 1867 he returned to his home
here and regained the control of his
old paper, which by his euterprise
was enlarged and improved at differ
ent times until it is now one of the
leading ones of the State. It is per
haps as an editor that we can and
should more particularly speak of him
For the past nineteen years that we
bare been cotemporary with him as a
journalist here we can recall but a
single occasion or two in which we
fonnd exception or felt aggriered by
bis words as an editor And iu these,
as on all occasions, he was quick to
make amends—quick to explain or
apologize. His good nature was snch
tbat he desired to do no wrong. He
would rather do a favor, and many a
one he did, not only to bis brethren
of the press, but to many of his fel
low citizens. AH must speak of
Uncle Jake, as he was familiarly call
ed, as a kind-hearted, obliging, gen
erous, good-natured citizen and friend,
no matter what position he occupied
or at what time an appeal was made
to him.
Captain Ziegler was also gifted
with personal powers possessed by
few. His conversational gifts were
rare and in some respects unexcelled.
He conld entertain bis friends or an
audiencs as few men could. With a
fine sense of the humorous, a pecu
liar wit, and a way of telling a Btory
or an anecdote, an inexhaustible fund
of which ha possessed, he could imi
tate and describe persons and things
in a manner that always created mer
riment and good feeling. This, with
his other good qualities, made him a
general favorite, and one whose com
pany was always sought. Added to
this was a fine and manly form and
face, a candor and outspoken way
that attracted attention to him at all
times and in all places. Hardly a
man, woman or child in this county
but has seen or heard of Uncle Jako,
and if vhey bad not seen him they
sought to do so, so general a fuvoriie
was he with all our people.
But death came, and has taken ODe
whom all hoped could remain longer.
He had, however, reached the allotted
age of three score years and ten, and
even more than that number. Still
he will be missed in this community
as perhaps no other one could be.
The regret over his death is sincere
and universal. But death is the cer
tain lot of all. We know that we
must die, but know not how, when or
where.
"Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a (Ifearn
Dies at the opening day."
The Last Honors.
The funeral services over the re
mains of Hon. Jacob Ziegler on Tues
day morning last were not only very
largely attended but were very im
pressive.
From tbe residence of the deceased,
where the friends aud the people had
assembled, a procession was formed
and all proceeded to the Episcopal
Church, of which Mr. Ziegler had
long been a member. Being also a
member of the Masonic fraternity
that society was given and took
charge of the ceremonies. The Ma
sons of this place were joined by the
Lodtre at Petrolia, and by represent
atives of Lodges at Parker. Foxharg,
Emlenton, Kittanniug aud Freeport.
When they formed in line, and pre
ceded the hearse, they numbered in
all about one hundred, dressed In
their regalia. Six of their number
acted as pall bearers, walking by the
sides of the hearse, three oa each side.
The carriages bearing the relatives
of the deceased were about fifty in
number These were followed by a
large number of persons to the church,
which was soon crowded, and not one
third of those present being able to
obtain admission within the same.
The usual burial perviees of the
church were conducted by llers.
While and London, of this place, and
by Bishop Whitehead, who came to
attend the funeral and paid a very
feeling tribute to the church serrices
and character of it* deceased member.
From the church the remains were
ajjain placed in the hearse and borne
to their last restiog place in the
North Cemetery, followed by friends
and citizens. And thus euded the
last honors to all that remained of
Jacob Ziegler.
Meeting of the Bar.—Action
Taken on the Death of Captain
Ziegler.
A well attended meeting of the
Butler Bar was held in Court room
No. 2, on Monday afternoon at 2
o'clock.
The meeting was called to order bv
Hon John H. Negley, and Hon. A.
L. Hazen was called to the chair, and
A. T. Black, Esq , was elected secre
tary, with the members of the press,
who were present. aB secretaries.
A committee on resolutions consist
ing of L. Z. Mitchell, Chairman; Lev
McQuistion, Joba H. Negley, J. D.
Marshall and Thos. llobinson; and
the committee retired to prepare their
report and a recess was taken by the
meeting until the report was ready for
Submission to the meeting. •
Alter having been some ten or fif
teen minutes in consultation the com
mittee returned and presented the
following as their report:
WHEREAS, We have learned the
pad news of the death of Hon, Jacob
Ziegler, a worthy member of the But
ler Bar, and moved by the common
sorrow we assemble to pay tribute to
his memory. Therefore be it
Resolved, That the deceased was
justly held in high esteem by the
community in which he lived, and in
his death no citizen will be more
greatly missed. That as members of
the Bar we feel the loss of an honor
able member and genial friend.
In all the walks of life as a journal
ist, as a member of the Bar and as a
citizen he displayed all those qualities
tending to elerate society, promote
the best interests of the community
and fldrance the general welfare.
Hating no one. speaking eril of none,
true to his friends, obliging to his
neighbors and true to his country, he
died without an enemy.
Resolved, That we tender to the
family and friends of the deceased our
heartfelt sympathy in this their hour
of berearement.
Resolved, That these resolutions
be presented in opeu Court on tbe
first Monday in June, A.D., 1888,
with the request that tbey be spread
upon the minutes of said Court, and a
copy thereof to be presented to the
familv of the deceased.
The report of the committee was
received and Thoe. Robinson moved
that the resolutions be adopted, and
said: That for the*past 35 years he
had known the deceased; that, though
their beliefs were different on the
issues of the day, thev had always
beeu friends even though they had
been antagonists in debate and noth
ing had ever occurred to mar their
friendship, and he was saddened at
the loss of his friend who was an
honored citizen.
Walter L. Graham seconded the
motion and spoke on his recollections
of the military career of the deceased;
that he had been his ideal as a soldier
and that be bad always been an ad
mirer and friend of the Captain.
Though not of the same political be
lief he had admired his course, and
they had been of the same idea dur
ing the rebellion, he was a "War
Democrat," and a strong friend and
defender of the Union; he was a suc
cess as a journalist and was in every
thing as a man of the strictest integ
rity, and his los 3 was greatly to be
deplored.
L. Z. Mitchell spoke in support of
the resolutions. Mr. Mitchell spoke
with much feeling. He said: "As
a man Capt. Ziegler was one who
was in favor of all that was high; all
that was pure; all that was noble and
all that wa3 good. In his religious
belief and lilt: everything was pure
and good; a good ui.iu has fallen—
Jacob Ziegler was a good, honest, up
right man."
John H. Negley followed and said
that he heartily concurred in all that
had been said ot the character and life of
Mr. Ziegler, who was admitted to the
Bar about 1840, and his death remov
ed probably the oldest member of the
Bar; he bad known him for years, and
always as an upright and popular
man, and one who filled many posi
tions of trust. A more popular ofli
cer of the county he had never known;
he bad been in actiye journalistic life
for over forty years, and had been al
most continuously editor of the Her
ald, with the exception of aboul ten
years; he had beeu a contemporary in
journalism with bim for nineteen
years, and in all that time bad always
found bim an honorable man, always
ready to make amends for an error or
mistake. His heart was good and he
was ready always to do that which was
right. He had visited bim in his late
illness, when he was suffering intense
ly, but he never complained; he was
i resigned and died a peaceful death.
Newton Black followed: lib knew
Capt. Ziegler from the time he came
to Butler, sorn« years ego, aad found
him always a kind and companionable
man, aud he always had warm feel
ings for Capt. Ziegler, aad believed
that a good man had gone, one whose
place would be hard to fill.
W. A. Forqucr p.poke of his ac
qnaintanee wnh the deceased, dating
back some fifteen years. He was a
man who would not say anything
evil of any man; that Mr. Ziegler had
not continued in the practice of law,
as an attorney was required to do for
his client that which he thought was
contrary to his make-up. He had al
ways been a friend and admirer of the
deceased, and he was a man, would
be a good example to the members of
the Bar and all others.
W. D. Brandon said that the dis
position of Captain Ziegler was such
that to any one who came in contact
with him it was to be his friend. He
was a man of genial disposition, and
one who always put a man at ease;
one whom it was always a pleasure
to meet. He was a man whose kind
ness of heart was almost immeasur
able.
Clarence Walker said the commun
ity had lost one of its best citizens,
and everyone a friend. Capt. Ziegler
was the embodiment of sunshine and
that everyone would miss him; would
rni-6 his genial presence in all the
walks of life, he was one of the kindest
men he had ever known.
Lev. McQuistion thought that no
grander tribute could be paid to the
dead than to speak the truth; Mr.
Ziegier was a man of comprehensive
views, and was a learned man. He
was eminently a kind man. and he
had never heard of an unkind word
dropping from his lips. His loss is
greatly to be deplored. Mr, Ziegler
leaves behind him a history and his
memory should and will be cherished
by all.
J. D. Marshall[«p.id thst Capt. Zieg
ler was a man who could stand up for
bis views come what may, and be
was uot to be led away by the popu
lar feeling when it was contrary to
his belief of what was right He
was a man of strong religious convic
tions.
Capt. Geo- W. Fleeger said: The
death of no man would be so greatly
regretted as that of Capt. Zieeler. He
had left his impress on the history of
the county, and had aided largely in
shaping the policy of the county.
Though everyone would feel his loss,
none would feel it more than the old
men of the county, who had known
him for years. He was a man who
believed that
"Kind hearts were more the Cononets,
"And simple faith than Norman blood."
Capt. Ziegler was a patriotic man,
and always stood up for Butler county
and always was solicitious for its
welfare. He will be missed all over
the county and all over the State, for
he was known aud respected every
where.
Jas. F Brittain said to noue could
the saying
"With malice toward none,
"With charity for all."
Better be applied than to Capt. Zieg
ler. He was a mau who was the
friend of all, young and old, rich
and poor; was kind and courteous to
all. We all have met with a loss in
the death of our departed friend.
Judge Hazen said that nothing
could better express his feelings
than what was in the resolutions. He
became acquainted with him person
ally since 1884, and a! ways found him
in everything to be a gentleman. He
was an honest man; a scholar, and in
his chosen profession, journalism, was
a success. This community has lost
a good citizen; this Commonwealth
has lost a good citizen; both were bet
ter because "Uncle Jake" Ziegler had
lived. No gentleman in Butler coun
ty stood better in his estimation than
"Uncle Jake" Ziegler; a Christian
man has been taken.
W. C. Thompson spoke of the kind
ness and cheerfulness of the deceased,
and regretted that he had not been
better acquainted with him.
C. G. Christie believed that Capt.
Ziegler was a model mau, aud was a
mau whom all would miss, and his
life such that it would leave its im
press on evory mind. It could be
said in every particular that he was
a great and good man.
Mr. Piersol Bpoke briefly on the life
and character of the deceased and re
collected that he was always pleasant
and courteous in all his actions and
through ail his life.
W. II H. Riddle said that he would
not soon forget his pleasant acquaint
ance with Capt. Ziegler. He was one
of the men who always encouraged
tho young and had always exteuded
the helping hand, aud had always a
kind work for those who were enter
ing the bar or iu other ouaiuess. He
was glad to be able to add his tribute
to the memory of the deceased.
Geo R. White believed that though
many eloquent tributes had been paid
to the deceased, none had done justice
to his great kindness.
T H Lyou told of the kinduess of the
Captain. He had noticed that Capt.
Ziegler always had something to say
of the greatness and resources of But
ler county.
P. W. Lowrv spoke of the friend
ship of the deceased to the poor and
believed that Capt. Ziegler had re
mained poor by reason of his kindness
and liberality to the poor and though
ail would miss him, noue would miss
him more than the poor.
Jos. Yanderlin had been acquainted
with Mr. Ziegler and always had been
a warm friend of the deceased, and
Capt. Ziegler harl proved a true aud
noble friend. His life had been even
and contented.
The resolutions were then adopted
as read.

Brazil Is Free.
NEW YORK, May 22.—A corres
pondent at Rio Janeiro says the bill
abolishing slavery iu Brazil contains
but five brief articles, viz; First, de
claring free from date of the law all
slaves iu the Empire; second, reliev
ing from further service the "inge
nus'' or free born children of slave
mothers; third, localizing the freed
meu within their county within two
years; fourth, empowering the Exec
utive to issue the neccessary regula
tions; filth, revoking all contrary pro
visions.
Thus half a page of octavo sufficed
for a law which emancipates over six
hundred thousand slaves and relieved
from apprenticeship to 21 about 400,
000 chiidren of slave mothers, born
free by virtue of the law of September
28, 1881. Indeed, in general, Brazil
ian laws are tree from the prolixity of
Anglo-Saxon legislation. The volun
tary emancipation movement initiat
ed in St. Paulo had already taken
firm in the province of Rio Janeiro,
as well as in Manas Geraes. Two
Vicouuts St. Clemente and Nova Fri
burgo, platers in the municipality of
Cantagallo, freed unconditionally
their 1,000 slaves, an example follow
ed by a number of lesser planters of
the same county. One notable phe
nomenon of the new era of unforced
labor is the anxiety of the freemen to
legalize their unsanctifiedconjugal un
ions and to legiuiatize the offspring of
them, as the Brazilian law humanely
permits by after marriage; aud in St.
Paulo especially the marrying capaci
ty of the clergy worked at the highest
pressure is insufficient to meet the
demands of the ex-slaves for the sanc
tion of the Church and law to the
broomstick unions which alone the
policy ot their owners had previously
permitted to them.

There will be a congregational

earnestly requested to be present.
—"The 'green goods' business,"
says the New York Tribune, "has
been damaged so much by newspaper
exposures that some of the swindlers
in this city have got out new circu
lars for 'fool-bait.' They now pro
fess to deal iu 'hardware' which can
not be told from gold coin. Country
men are invited to travel to the city
and look at the goods,which are offered
at tempting rates. One of the circu
lars were sent by a wide awake far
mer to Superintendent Murray. The
farmer was invited to deal with Hen
ry Dix, of Third avenue and Sixth
