This community wasgreatly shocked at the
announcement yesterday morning of the sud
den death of Mr. JOHN B, SMITH, an old and
much respected citizen of North Towanda.
Had he lived until December he would have
completed his 69th year, Mr. SMITH was one
of the most intelligent and prosperous citi
zens of the county. 15y industry and pru
dent economy, he had acquired a competency
and was apparently enjoying the declining
years of life surrounded by a happv family
who loved and honored him and to whom he
was devotedly attached. But the summons
came without a note of warning, and he was
"gathered fo his fathers." Having lived an
upright christian life, by faith in a merciful
Saviour, he was ready and joyfully obeyed
the ea I to " come up higher."
The funeral will be hold at the family resi
dence at 1 o'clock this afternoon, and the bu
rial will take place at Hornbrook cemetery.
At the opening of Court Monday morning.
Col. E. OVERTOX, Jr., anncftinced the death
of President GARFIELD, whereupon his Hon.
Judge MORROW made the following order:
In the mutter of the death of President <tur
tle Id :
An<l now, September go, 18S1, the death of .Tames
A. Garfield, President of the United States, having
been announced in open court, Hon. Edward Over
ton, Jr., < 01. ]•:. Smith, and L. M. Hall, are hereby
appointed a committee to prepare resolutions ex
pressive of the grief of the Court and Bar, at this
great public calamity; Audit is further ordered
that as a mark ot respect and love for the memory
of our deceased President the Court do now ad
journ. It is turther ordered that this minute be
placed upon the records of the Court.
Appropriate remarks were made by Col.
OVERTON* ami Col. SMITH.
Yesterday morning the committee reported
be following, which were ordered tiled:
Resolved, That the sorrow we feel for liiin who
is now dead, who was stricken down iu the full tide
of a vigorous manhood, in what for him was but
the beginning cf greatness, is equaled by the
keen sympathy we feel for those who, being
connected with him in the more intimate relations
of life, will more than others be bowed down by Ids
loss, but that the loss to our country, which he had
both the will and the power to serve better than
other men; when we remember that it WAS to
serve our country, and because lie believed lie could
aid her welfare, thathe most of all wished and strug
gled to live; that this view of our loss exceeds and
rises above till others following tins sail calamity.
Resolved, That we mourn his death the more at a
time when witli all ids generous heart he was striving
with such great success to harmonize all factions
in our country, to allay atl sectional strife, to make
each man feel that our laws protected him and that
to be so protected was a precious privilege; but we
rejoice that he did not die till by his brave ami earn
est acts in ollice, by his more than heroic struggle
against pain and death he had won to him all those
who once might have been against him, and, until,
"at the time of his deatli mankind lost a frUnd and
no man got rid of an enemy."
Resolved, That the sorrow we feel at the death of
a man so great, is deepened by the thought that lie
has left work unfinished that he, of all men, was
best fitted to do; and we hope and believe that the
example of his short and so cruelly ended official
lite, his well known plans and wishes may still aid
others to carry on the good work thathe would
have done had he lived.
Resolved, That a career that never faltered in its
onward course even from the humblest beginnings,
marked by a complete consonance with the eventful
history of the age in which he lived, crowned at
length with the highest tribute of the intelligence
and confidence of his countrymen, that career now
closed in death, will be memorable in coming times
as a type of our highest, noblest manhood; an illus
trious example of individual worth.

There is nothing heard in Virginia
now of the Bourbons' devotion to the
full pay meet of the State debt. They are
ignoring the question entirely. This
might have been expected. Hitherto
they have maintained their devotion dur
ing the campaign, and have forgotten the
question entirely after election. This
year their zeal ended with their platform
declaration, and they are expending all
their strength on a scheme to defeat the
opposition ticket by means of forged let
ters. What they want is to get the offices.
If they get them, the " public debt," says
the leading organ, the Richmond Dispatch,
" may go to the dogs." There is nothing
new in this position; it is only avowed
openly, that is all.
