This was doubtless true, but It is an ad mltssion of ono of the greatest defit'ts in our road system. Tho labor on tho roads Is usually at tho option of tho tax payers, and they suit personal con vonlenco rather than tho good of tho rouds, hence, tho supervisors are helpless until tho plowing and seeding Is done, . und tho summer rains set tn and neutra lize their labors to a great extent. Hood roads wo can never have under a system so fuulty, Brookvllle Hijmhli ecu. Some one has said that what the world sees is not likely to bo the best that the vorld has. There Is a visible activity which we know as energy; and there Is an invisible activity which we know as resistance. Roth are exertions of power; fcoth are costly and exhausting. When we see a locomotive drawing a heavily laden train, we look wonderllngly upon 1U tremendlous exhibit of energy, as first manifested In the moving piston of the engine. But wo think less of the equally tremendous resistance offered to the force of tho steam by tho walls of he cylinder In which the piston moves. More than this, In every portion of tho structure of engine and cars there is exerted a power of resistance against the foreet that operate to burst all asunder. So, too, does human character prove lUolf, even though it docs not outwardly exhibit Itself, in Its resistance-power, quite1 as much as in its displayed activity of energy. We admit the alert energy of f strong, active, successful man; but We forget how much unseen resistance-power ho bus employed In order to make his energies efficient. We are tempted to go the wrong way by physical, mental and moral Inducements, and those temptations must be resisted. Tho heavier the loud we have to draw, the greater tho reslstanoo that we have to exercise. The moment that we cease to resist, character Is shattered into fragmenU. Too world docs not credit us with the awful strain of incessant resisting; but the world knows least About the powers to which it owes the most, and which way be host worth cultivating.

Mr. Arnold was unconscious seventeen hours before dissolution took plate. Kailing health maile it, necessary fur Mr. Arnold to retire from active business several years ago. One year ago ho was very near tht! gates of death, but he rallied ami was able afterwards to take a trip to the gold Ileitis of Colorado. He never regained bis wonted health, however, again. Ho was reconciled some weeks ago to the transmigration from the shores of 1 1 mo to the Eternal Laud anil patiently waited for tho summons to pass over. Frederick K. Arnold was born in York county, l'a., May III It, HJ4, and would have been soventy-thmo years old tho ninth of next month. Ho was married to Miss Elizabeth fioodlandcr in Luthorsburg. la., May llth, I4n, with whom he traveled the smooth and rough paths In life's journey for forty nine years. When eighteen years old Mr. Arnold joined the Lutheran church in Luthorsburg, In which church ho ever afterwards kept his membership. Ho was faithful in his attendance and support of the 1'resbytenan church in this place a score of years, yet ho was never a member of tho church. He re mained a continuous member of tho church which he joined over a half century ago. Tho deceased was a son of Peter Arnold, who moved from York county, Pa., to Luthersburg, Pa., In April, lWIT. When 17 years old tho Bubject of this obituary went to Cleurlicld to leant the furniture business. Ho afterwards started into business for himself and made a success of tho business for several years. In 1848 ho embarked in the mercantile and lumber business. Tn 18li4 he was a charter member of tho First National bank In Curwensville and was elected us one of Its directors, and served as such during his connec tion with the bank. In 1871, in partner ship with his brother, Sam'l Arnold, and Gen. Patton (ienod a bank In Luthei-sburg with a capital of $40,1)00, in which business ho continued with good success for nearly four years. In 1875 Mr. Arnold bought his partners' Interests in the bunk and movod the bunk to Reynoldsvillo and opened the Arnold & Co. bunk, the stockholders being F. K. Arnold, G. W. Arnold, L. P. Hoeley and Chas. H. Gordon. In 1880 Mr. Arnold built the Arnold block, at the corner of Muln und Fifth streets, which stunds to-day as a monument ol his enterprise. In 1888 the First National bank was started ut DuBois, In which he was a heavy stockholder, and of which ho was elected and re elected president during his connection with tho concern. He wus enterprising and wanted to see Hcynoldsvlllo prosper. He en couraged tho erection of the water works In Reynoldsvillo and was the first president of the water company. Ho was active In getting tho present large wooloh mill ercctM In this place. Funeral service will be held in tho Presbyterian church at 2.00 . M. to day. Roy, Hubert Rex Johnson, of Blalrsville, former pastor of tho Pres byterian church, will ollleiuto.

Stoke, Sr. His Capture, Escape, Recapture and Final Escape. Following Is a sketch of George W. Stoku's experience during the unpleas antness between the north and south, which ho handed us by request for pult- lication: I enlisted In August, I Mill; helped to recruit tho company, wus assigned to I) company in tho lO.'ld regiment P. V, w as mustered in lliu Li. . service as a regiment Sept. 25th, 18li, at Kit- tanning, Armstrong Co., Pa. We wore ordered to the front sometime n March 18l2; served under General McClelland during his peninsular campaign. For efficiency und conduct becoming a soldier I was promoted from the ranks to lieutenancy by tho colonel of the regi ment, neur Newport News, Va., April 10th, 1802. J. K. Humilton, cuptuln of our company, huving resigned, by re quest of the colonel, after the battle of Fair Ouks, I took command of the coin- puny, no other officer being present. remained In command until Juno, 1M0.I, when I was taken on the colonel's staff as uld-de-canip, he then having com mnnd of the brigade. On his return to the command of his regiment In Novenv bur, 18113, Co. B then having no officer I wus transferred and promoted to cap tain of that company. Owing to gen eral orders from the War Deparmont, could not be mustered as such. I re enlisted In the company as a veteran and remained In command until our capture, April 20th, 1804, at Plymouth, N. C, from whence we were taken to Andersonvllle, Ga., via Wilmington, N. C, Charleston, S. C, and Savannah, Ga. We remained at Andersonvlllo over night and In tho morning were separated from tho enlisted men by the Rebel Commander WlrU and taken to Mueon, Ga., where we remained Until some time in July when about six hun dred of us were tuken to Charleston, S. C, and placed under fire of our own guns, the Swamp Angel having standing orders to throw a shell Into tho city every fifteen minutes, night and day. Wo reraulned there until October, 1804, when we were taken to Columbia; tho cupltol of South Carolina. Tho camp was named Camp Sorghum from the amount of sorghum molasses they gave us for rations. MV FIRST E8CAPK AND UKCAPTUHK. About this time we began to think It time to try and make our escape. Col. Steelo, of the 2nd Pa. Cavalry, a mess mate of mine, and myself passed the guards by taking advantage of a parole that a number of other officers had given In order to carry In wood to keep up the Are to do the cooking of tho corn meal which wo bad for rations. After getting in the woods wo bid our selves until dark, then pulled out for Sherman's army, lit thut time near At lanta, Gu., some .'UNI miles distant. Tho woods must have been full of Yankees that, night us thn rebels were short Rlsittt IIIMI Yankees tho next morning. On tlie fourth night of our march, after traveling about seveiit.v-llvo miles, wo were recaptured by citizens, with shot guns and blood hounds, anil taken hack to ('amp Sorghum. Tho paroles of honor went no gisid lifter our first es- CIIM. 8KIXINII KHt.'AI'K. My next, attempt was to bribe the guard, of which f made a success, by giving him my watch, worth flOO at that time. In pass six of us through thn dead lino that night. Tho guard I bribed was a young, green Irishman, having been In Ibis country only three months. Six of ut passed through the dead line that night and on getting In the wends wo concluded to separate, three of tho llllst P. V. striking out for Sherman's army. They worn recap tured and had to wait, for exchange In 18115. My two comrades and myself pulled out for tho Santeo river. When wo reached there wo found a small Isiat chained to a tree; wo broke tho chain with a rail, got In and pulled down tho river at great speed. In thu cotirso of eleven days and nights wo reached the Santeo Island, at tho coast, remaining thoro two days and nights when wo wore taken off by some soldiers from a Union gun Isiat doing blockade duty near Georgetown, S. C. Our wearing apparel, of nine months constant wear, had grown very thin and rather dirty, so the captain gave us a marine on tilt, which gave us a different appearance, A few days later a supply boat eamn along and we went to Hilton Head, S.C., and reported to General Foster, com mantling that department. His orders were for us to go homo by first Isiat. and report to the War Dcptirlment by let ter, stating our escape. After arriving at homo I received a letter from tint Adjl. Genera! at Washington, I). ('., stating that. Geo. W. Stoke, Co. II. lo.'ld regiment, P. V., escaped prisoner of war. would return to hcadiiiiirtcrs of bis regiment nt Hniiunke Island, N. ('., with permission to delay en route .'10 days. My time having expired I joined my regiment. There being no adjutant in the regiment I was selected for that position by the colonel and remained as such to the close of tint war. Being mustered out. I arrived at homo tho lat ter part of July, H(i.",, making my term of service for V. S. about four years, und a prisoner of war nine months.
