out, whilo their servioeii aro so iiocoh
ury In putting tho roadu In a passable
condition, stated that It was Impossible
to net farmers to leave their plows at
this timo, and supervisors aro helpless.
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

Christian Osntleman Funeral this Afternoon.
frrdrrlrk
This week wo aro called upon to
chronicle the douiKo of a worthy and
enterprising elliwn who made a success
of tin; a 11 airs of this life and at the nunc
time laid up treasures "where neither
ninth nor rust doth corrupt and where
thieves tin not break tlirinib nor steal."
At :M A. M., April l!lh. I'.i7. I'tvileriek
IC. Arnold peacefully fell asleep in the
"KyerlaMting Anns" of the King
1 tn in it nt ii -1 . He liiul prayed many times
Hint, his spirit might lake its Might
from Hie tenement of clay while he was
slccpine, anil his prayer was answered.
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. As Mr.
Arnold was opposed to having people
parade around a casket in the church
to look at the dead, bis casket will not
be opened in tho church to day. All
who care to take a last look at the de

Mr. Arnold will lie buried in a metalic
llned casket. The grave will 1st walled
up and arched over wit It brick.' Mr.
Arnold instructed Mr. Itetts, of DuBois,
over a year ago just bow ho wanted bis
grave walled with brick and cement.

War Record of George W. 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. I par
ticipated In every battle with my regi
ment and company during tho war.
