On account of May 30th, Memorial Day, occurring on Sunday this year, Sat urday, May 2flth, was observed In Reynoldsvillo as the day for honoring the memory of the soldiers who have fought their last battle here. The tribute of a few flowers strewn on the graves of those who have fought for our union Is but a small return for tho ser vice thoy have rendored for us and fu ture generations, and the custom of laying aside the ordinary cares and duties of llfo for one day each year and visit ing the mounds whore theoomrads have been laid to rest, leaving there the to kens of onr remembrance, Is ono which should continue to be cherished as long as our nation exists. Many who would otherwlso have taken part in tho usual memorial exer cises remained at homo last Saturday on account of tho disagreeable weather. A cold wind nnd an occasional shower made it decidedly uncomfortable to be out, and the' column which marched to Heulah cemetery at 0.30 A. M. last Sat urday was much smaller than is usual on May 30th at this place. First in line was members of the different Sunday schools, second tho I. O. O. F. lodge, followed hy tho Sons of Veterans. Grand Army of tho Republic and tho Woman's Relief Corps, tho latter In carriages. For tho first time tho march to the cem etery on Decoration Day took place without music, not even a martial band or drum corps being In lino. On arriv ing at tho cemetery the crowd formed In a hollow square around tho grave marked by a monument bearing tho in scription "Unknown." and the usual ex ercises from tho G. A. R. ritual wore carried out, tho Sons of Veterans firing tho salute over the grave. After deco rating the graves of the soldiers In Beu lah cemetery, a detachment of the G. A. R. aud S. of V. visited the Catholic, Reynoldsvllle and Sandy Valley cemo teries In the forenoon, and Prospect cometery, near Ruthmel, in the after noon, firing tholr salute over and leav ing flowers upon the soldiers' graves at those places. Each year tho number of old soldiers grows smaller and the graves in the cometerios Increase. Until a few years ago the whole exercises at the cemetery wore conducted hy the G. A. R., but now the firing squad consistsof members of the Sons of Veterans, and the time is not so far distant when the exorcise will bo wholly in charge of them. Committees Appointed.

When found he was conscious but refused to give any Infor mation as to the cause of the shooting, or who the guilty party or parties were, and he expired soon after being found. Tho spot where the wounded man was found showed evidence of a struggle, as the ground was covered with blood. O'Grady was seen going in the direction of the place where the shooting occurred in the afternoon with some companions and a keg of beer, and the shooting was likely done by one of the number.
