KING, who had been a great sufferer with rheumatism,died at the residence of his mother, on Bridge street, Saturday morning, aged 10 years. Funeral at 7:lo this morning. Burial at East Smithfield. We learn the name of P. W. MOUEY. of Asylum, will be presented to the democratic convention to-morrow, as a candidate for County Commissioner. PETE is a good man and would make an excellent Commissioner, no doubt, but it strikes us the most sensi. ble thing the democrats can do is to re-nomi nato Mr. HANSOM. He has served the conn, tv well, and deserves an endorsement. We have not been favored by the commit tee with a programme of the memorial exer cises to be held in the park this afternoon, but believe the services will be introduced with a dirge by the band, to be followed with prayer by Rev. C. T. IIALLOWELL. singing by the united choirs, reading scripture lesson by Rev. C. 11. WRIGHT, singing by tlit- choir, reading a poem by Rev. Dr. STEWART, ad dresses by Hon. E. OVERTON, Col. SMITH and J. IIOLCOMB. liev. Dr. TAYLOR will make the closing prayer, the choir will sing, •'My country, 'tis of thee," with band accom paniment, and Doctor STEWART will pro nounce the benediction. By order of the Bishop, the brief but im pressive burial service of the Episcopal Church will be read at the church at 2 o'clock this afternoon, after which the congregation will join in the union services in the Park. Calamity. SKI'T. 19TH, 1881. The grasses are dying Skies crimsoned o'er head! The fall leaves are flying In drapery of red! The sunsets are scirlet, The moon is on lire, All nature proclaiming Calamity dire. My strain is a requiem, A nation's deep dirge, Pathetic and solemn Of death-bearing scourge By coward assassin! Of hero who vain Fought death step by step in Death's own domain! What wonder creation Amazed at the sight, Is thrown in commotion Day turning to night, That planet and comet Are lurid with wrath, While heart broken autumn Drops blood in her path? Bright golden rod drooping Its fcathry plume, Seems silently shrouding Its petals in gloom, As thsugh it were seeking Its sorrow to screen, By hiding in calyx Of sad tinted green, <) grief stricken autumn Whose glory hath lied, We weep on thy bosom, Bewailing our dead. Love's every endeavor, Skill, prayer,'verc in vain, He needcth them never, All! never again. The Life brave defended lias yielded at last, The conflict is ended, Death's agony past! Free, fighting for freedom ! Free, battling for right! How costly the ransom, How grim was the fight. Beloved ones are weeping Lamenting their loss, A nation in mourning Is bearing the cross, What man, tribe, or nation. What kingdom or state, Can forestall or frustrate The fiats of Fate? Sept. 22, 'Bl. ANNA H MERCUR. TOWANDA, PA., MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1881. hi -VetMoriam. JAMES A. GAKFLELI). Yesterday was a day of sadness and mourn ing all over the land. The sermons were fu neral orations, and the grief of the people wss as sincere as it was general, for indeed a sympathizing friend, a great and good man, lies dead. The churches here were largely attended and the services appropriate to the occasion. The BAPTIST CHURCH was modestly draped. The pastor chose for his text two familiar passages of Scripture,— " God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son to die for us," and, "Whom the Lord loveth He chastcneth." The theme was, " The great love of tin; Heavenly Father manifested even in ou* afflictions." In the evening, Rev. C. 11. WRIGHT, of the Methodist Church, tilled the pulpit, and gave the audience a very interesting address on the character and lifg of GARFIELD, taking for his text, " Thou art a mighty prince among us." THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH was quite elaborately draped. On one of the desks was an anchor on the other a sycle and on the font a lyre with broken string. The parish is without a reetorand the chancel was occupied by the Reverend Mr. MORROW, of Reading. I lis text was from the 94th Psalm, 12th verse. " Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, and teaelicst him out of thy law." Theme, the severity of God's love. THE M. E. CHURCH was well filled. The text, " All things work together for good to those who love God." — The pastor pointed out some of the blessings which would How to the nation and the world from the affliction through which we arc pass ing. The auditorium and vestibule were be comingly draped, and over the pulpit, the in scription, "The Nation's Loss." In the evening Rev. C. T. IIALLOWELL oe cupird the pulpit and delivered to a very large audience the sermon he preached for his own congregation a few weeks since, "On the as sassination and some of its lessons," THE PRESBYTERIAN CIIURCII was draped with exceptional good taste and the designs very handsome. On one corner of the pulpit was a large mound of moss cov ered with inimortels, supporting a shield on which was delicalely wrought an anchor, and hovering above it a pure white dove. On the other side of the desk a broken column, constructed of flowers. The pastor, Dr. STEWART, pronounced an eloquent and touch ingly pathetic eulogy on General GARFIELD. His text was, " Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Is rael." AT THE UNIVERSALIBT CIIURCII the decorations were in exceedingly good taste; beautifully attractive, vet almost se verely simple. The three arches in front of the recessed pulpit were hung with festoons of black cashmere, gathered into heavy folds, and against the centre was suspended a dove of spotless white with extended wings. At the rear of the pulpit the wall was entirely hidden with black, against the center of which hung a life-size portrait of the deceased Pres ident, encircled in folds of black crape, and flanked on cither side with the national en sign. The chancel rail and furniture were covered with deep black, tastefully looped and folded. The material used was of tine quality and gave a rich appearance to the room. At each side the altar,upon tall stems, stood stands of exquisite flowers, the foot of each stem being buried in a pillow of beauti ful flowers. Doctor TAYLOR'S sermon was founded on Acts xi, 24—" He was a good man; full of the Holy Ghost and of faith," and it held the au dience almost spell-bound for nearly an hour of intense interest and at times of deep emo tion. AT THE CATHOLIC CIIURCII. The past or, Rev. C. F. KELLKY, was indis posed and did not preach, put gave notice that mass would be said this morning for the dead President. To-day the people of the United States will bend in tearful prayer and humility before the divine power whose myster ious economy has withheld any revela tion that it took note of human suppli cation. And yet, though the hearts of the faithful be overwhelmed with grief, it is not for them to question the su preme intelligence which has made an swer to their prayers only by submerge ing them at last in the depths of deep est anguish. In the profound sorrow that tills all Christian breasts, taitli is severely tried, but, rising above all, and shining out like a star in the dark night, is the memory of sad Gcthscmane, with the agonizing Saviour of mankind himself pouring forth the petition, "O, my Fath er, if it be possible, let this cup pass lrom me; nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt." This great example of faith and the grand results that followed, still abide, and still live to rebuke the doubt ing and cheer the despondent. It is in vain for human wisdom to attempt to question the authority of God, and the same faith that for a season looked to sec the prayers of the multitude answered in a restored President, will bend as sub missively to the decrees of that authority which at the last took the soul of the suflerer unto Himself. The thought of the faithful to-day is but a repetition of that plea in the garden of Gcthscmane, "Not as I will, but as Thou wilt," Gover nor Iloyt speaks for all in the words of his proclamation : The chastening hand of God has been heavily laid upon the nation and a belov ed and honored Chief Magistrate has been removed by death, in the beginning of an official career which promised to usher in an era of unexampled peace, prosperity and good will. The hearts of the people are bowed with sorrow for this great loss and they will, with sym pathy for the bereaved wife and orphaned children, accept the duty of humble sub mission to the decree of the Ruler of the universe.
