About forty yards from the Deny Presbyterian Church lies the old burying ground. It was substantially
\enclosed by stone wall in 1842, gates were provided and every mark of respect was shown to the mothers and
fathers of a rioted people.
The accompanying cut represents the flat marble slabs which mark the graves of James Galbraith and the
\ Rev. William Bertram, direct ancestors of James G. Blaine and William McKinley. The Galbraiths were one
' of the first families to respond to the, call of George Washington for aid when the Continental Army was sta-
>' tioned at Valley Forge. The inscriptions on the tombstones are very interesting and well worth a trip to the
graveyard . ,

' IALEN F. PUNTZ, of Pal-myra,

by Postal Inspector H.
1 E. Lucas, of Harrisburg, on
a charge of violating the postal laws in
, abstracting money from letters in his
f
charge as rural letter carrier on Route
No. 1 from Palmyra. Kuntz is said to

with the evidences of it and on
being arraigned before TJ. S. Commis-sioner
W. G. Graeff , in his office in the
Nutting building, on Tuesday evening,
furnished $500 bail for Jiis appearance
in the U. S. district court at Harris-burg,
on Moriday,-May. 1.- His father,
John Kuntz',' of Palmya, who is ' on his
bond as rural letter carrier , became his
surety for his appearance at court.
For some time Postmaster Frank E.
Hartz, of Palmyra, had been receiving
complaints of the mail being tampered
with and finally it was decided to lay a
trap for the guilty party. Inspector
Lucas came -to Palmyra on- Tuesday
morning for the purpose of awaiting
results, having first pos ted two decoy
letters containing marked money. One
with two dollars in it was -addressed to
the Farmers' Bank, of 'Hummelstown,
and the other containing $3;25, addres-sed
to the Larkin Company, of Buffalo,
New York. The accused is said to
have opened both letters and removed
money which was afterward found on
his person by Inspector Lucas, who at
once placed him under arrest. ( On ¦
being questioned Kuntz admitted his
guilt, and, it is expected, will pleadv
guilty on being arraigned before Judge
Witmer, at Harrisburg. " '
