The Last sad Rites Performed and Une of ‘Somerset County’s Noblest Bons Lad to Rest.—A Few Facts snd Thoughts Concerning the Life and Death of a Truly Great Man. The last sad rites over the remains of all that was mortal of the late lamented Dr. C. G. Stutzman, were performed in || 8t. John's Lutheran church, in this city, last Saturday, the ceremonies being con- ducted by Rev. Settlemeyer, of Rock- wood, assisted by Rev. M. L. Young, of Meversiale, and Rev. W. W. Kribbs, the local minister of the Lutherun church. The large edifice was thronged to its utmost capacity. long before the tuneral train arrived from Rockwood, for every: ‘body wanted to be present when the last tribute af respect was paid to oie whom they all loved as dearly us a kind father loveth bis children. After the funeral train arrived the re- maina of the deceased were promptly conveyed to the church and the funeral sermon preached, and to say the least it was indeed asad scene, Everybody keen- ly felt the loss of ome so dear to their, hearts and so useful to the world at large. There were few dry eyes in the house, and well might ‘the people mourn and shed tears, for Somerset county never had a nobler son than Dr. C. G. Stutz: man. ‘He was a man of bumantiy in the full- est sense of the word, and those in dis- tress whom he relieved and nided during big life could probably be numbered by the thousand. No one ever went to him for help and was turned away empty: handed. It was not in the doctor's na: ture ta say “no” when he was called on «| for help; neither did he wait for people to come to him when in need of aid; bat. ‘yoluntarily relieved those in distress when be knew of their: troubles. Oh, how | much a community ‘loses when sucha man goes to his grave!’ Doctor Stutzman was 8 truly great man, for what is great- er, what is nobler Yhaw to do good unto others? And while he was very rugged in some of his natnre, hé was ns gentle as a | child ‘regarding the feelings of others: He was very tender-hearted and easily moved to tears when beholding the suf- ferings of a feilow mortal, and many a time did the editor of this paper see the tears roll down his cheeks. when gazing fupon the mangled form of some poor fellow ornshied in the mines or injurad in some other way. But there. is no use for us to dwell on the nature and disposition of the deceased, for we could net do his honored name justice if we devoted this: We will | whole paper to eulogizing him. therefore give a short account of his ca- reer, much of which we gather from the pages of the history of Soierset county, Dr. C. G. Btutzman was the descendant of one of the oldest, most prominent, public-spirited - and progressive’ families of this section, he being a son of Hon. Jost J. Stutzman. Dr. Stutzman. was born Ooc. 2nd. 1829, so it will be seen that he was over 68 years old: when he died. In addition to instruction received | from his father he was the pupil of his brother, Joseph J.. and therefore became well versed in the classics, a knowledge of:which is go desirable to a member of the medical fraternity. Having arrived at ‘the age when one must mark out his future course in life, he decided to become a disciple of Es- culapius, and at once repaired to Cincin- nati, where he became a student io the Eclectic Medical College of Cincinnati, from which institution he gaduated in 18561. He commenced his practice in \ Meyers. dale, but one year subsequent he matric- ulated in the University of Pennsylvania, he eitending one session, after which he established himself at Sand Patch, as physician to the tunnel. | From this place he removed to Petersburg, where he prac- ticed but one year. when he, in company with Barnard D. Holbrook, went to Ne- braska and surveyed a large tract of land for the government, After this he went to Iowa and took up the line of march for Pike’s Peak, which was then the ob- jective point for thousands attracted west: ward by the golden prize so temptingly de- scribed by thoseinterested. * From Pike's Peak he afterward went to Californiwand located at Humbug mine, in the northern part of the state, in 1850. Here he prac- ticed his profession for three years and then we i ; ‘1 of frontier and miner's: life. | proving fatal. in mining for two years and met with some sticcess. The doctor then returned to Salisbury, Pa., his native village, after an absence of eight years, having experi- enced both the pleasures ang hardships After re- turning to Salisbury le purchased the | practice of Dr. M.A: R. F. Cafr and re- sided here until a few vears ago, when he removed to Rockwood, at which place he died last Thursday, Dec. 24th. As a physician he stood very high in the profession, and as a thorough gentle- man he had no supérior. He was a man j1of very fine personal appearance and :{ great physical strength. : The disease of which he died was palsy. He was stricken six different times with: in the last four years, ihe last stroke The editor of this paper received a letter from bim just one day before he died, which was in all proba- bility: the last letter he ever wrote or had written, The letter was answered imme- diately, and our letter to him was the last he ever received. He was informed of our letter to him, but alas! the death dew had siready settled so thickly over him that he never knew its contents, a fact which we greatly regret. asthe letter was one thanking him for some valuable favors he had ‘extended to us. But lie is now better rewarded than our thanks could possibly have rejwarded him. But Dr. Stutzman is not dead, for the good never die. Although he sleeps he- neath the cold clods of the valley, his noble deeds still live. Earth Jus lost a noble son, but Heaven has gained une more gentle soul, He resis in peace. and a merciful God will be merciful to him, for he was a merciful man...

No foreign importation.can knock McKinley out, | ANOTHER gang of Laurel Ridge robbers is again committing depredations in West- moreland county. Laurel Ridee is noted for thieves and robbers. They have ul: ways been nearly ‘as yumerous there as | Prairie dogs in a dog town. | Prrvenunen will ‘furnish the fron for the’ tool of the new St. Louis union de- |; pot, which will be the largest depot in the world. Right here in old Pennsylva- nia is where everything made of iron is made right, and the whole United States seems to know it. a: BINCE reading the Inst iesue of the Carleton (Neb.) Reporter, the question suggests itself, “Why do the heathen rage and the wicked imagine vain things?’ Bome 2-cent fool vents his spleen on the editor of this paper, now that he js over 1,800 miles away from Carleton. He seems’ 10 be hurt because we received | many kind words-and compliments from nearly ‘all aver the state of Nebraska be- fore leaving there. and in a pitiable strain ‘he tries to belittle the editor of this pa- iper by publishing a half-colamn of the most infernal rot and the blackest lies that were probably ever put in print, Of course he hasan old grudge to pay off, and being too cowardly to pay it off when we were in every-day hailing distance, he, like all cowardly curs, takes advan: tage of the long distance between us. In connection with other fool stuff he oes on to tell how much a better paper Carleton now has than when we pub- lished The ‘l'imes there. Well, all that we have to say now. is that if the Carle- ton Reporter wants to allow its columns to be used to throw mud at one who has never in any way fiujured it, but on the other hand befriended it by furnishing it information it requested, even when not 80 much as a stamp was enclosed fora reply, why, it isallrighttous. We don’t think strange of an enemy trying to in- jure his foes, but just why the Reporter man should allow his columns to be used to defame one who has never injured him, and a brother in the same secret society at that, trying to injure oné who for a long time was the highest officer in Friendship camp of M. W. of A.. Is past finding out. This is all we have to say for the present on this opie, but may’ say more later on. Tag Jurors in the Edward M. Field case have rendered a verdict that Ma Field in insane, so the chances are that| he will not have to suffer much for steal- ing those $2,000,000. The insanity dodge is getting to be a great dodge in these days, but we are of the opinion that if some ‘of these insane fellows that have a weakness for sealing, murdering, etc, would: get the full extent of the law once in & while, that it would greatly decrease the insanity record of this great and glo- ‘Floud'country. Men are ususlly punished severely for trivial crimes, but entirely too many deep-dyed villain that ought to be imprisoned or hanged. fare some- tration, and whose case was as follows: Now in those dys, «Ebenezer, the son of Absalom, dwelled at No. 120 Galilee street, and there was peace in his heart. But an evil spirit came unto him nx dream, and spake unto him saying: - “:Be. hold, thy wife cannot make doughnuts or buckwheat cakes. Neither can she make unjéavened bread. or cook fishes. Bhe hath been nurtured in luxury, and is no wife for such a 1oo-loo as thou, who toilest in the vineyard.

Well, so far as the frontier is concerned, it Mr. Subrie will take the trouble to look up school statistics, he will find that { the froumtier is far ahend of the eastern states in educational matters, and that is preity good evidence that the people out there are at least, civilized, although they may not be so utterly smart as the Regi ter man seems to think ‘he is.
