RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE
The Rey. Rebel Hr. Witmer—A Reml-
niscence.
The case or the reverent: traitor, spy, and whllom
rector of St. Mark's Episcopal Church of this city,
J. P. li. Wilmer, D. D., is still attracting much at
tention in the newspapers. On the principle that
straws tell which way the wiod blows, we read in
Dr. Wilmer the incarnation of a sneaking Secessionist
•several weeks before lie made his famous trip to
Dime, via Fortress Monroe. In August, 1861, the
. writer heard Dr. W. preach a set mon in the parlor
of the United States Hotel, Atlantic City, under
the following eircumatances: Dr. Wilmer was
stopping at "The Surf," and at the request of some
of the boarders, consented to preach on a Sunday
morning, in the parlor of that hotel, but Colonel
Benson, the proprietor of the house, having
learned that his reverend guest's loyalty was not
above suspicion, peremptorily refused his consent
lo this arrangement, whereupon the Doctor's
friends, not to be outdone in their purpose, applied
for and obtained permission for him to hold lorth at
"The States." The discourse which resulted was a
- very respectable lemon. The fact, however, that
all the incidental details of the services were soru•
pulously observed, except Bishop Polter's loyal prayer,
•which was omitted, taken In connection with the
alleged reasons for the Doctor's "cruel " treatment
at "The Surf," excited some remark at the time;
but Dr. Whiner's friends contended that it had been
the merest oversight, and united in ascribing it to
hie constitutional absent-mindedness. We presume it
was the same sort of mental absence that will now
have to aocOunt for his recent misrepresentations"
about his pretended mission to the North to . pur
chase a stock of religious literature for the benight•
ed rebels, while carrying among his correspondence
a letter from Jefferson Davis to Mason and Slidell,
introducing' him as a tit representative of the South
ern Episcopal Church.
We see by a Washington paper that Dr. Wilmer
is confounded with the Rev. Henry A. Wise, as
being the clergyman who, the day after preaching a
rabid Secession sermon in West Philadelphia, was
summarily ejected from a barber•shop, half shaven,
for indulging in treasonable language. This is un
just to young Wise, who, however despicable hie*
sentiments may have been, was uniformly bold and
outspoken in uttering them ; whereas, Wilmer's
course, front first to last, shows him to be a snake in
the grass—a copperhead of the most dangerous class
—and we trust that the hands into which he hasnow
fallen will mete out to him what such venomous
reptiles deserve.
A Great Ccnveuience for the Friends of our
Soldiers.
The cithene of Philadelphia and the general pub
lic have, in more than one instance, been sub
•atanttally served by the Young lllen's Christian
Association of title city. The rooms of this ass°,
elation, at Nos. 1009 and 1011 Chestnut street, sup-
Plied as they are with an extensive and well
selected library, besides a large list of the news
papers and periodicals of the day—to nll of which
-those who desire it are always welcome, free of
charge—are of inestimable value, especially to
young men on first coming to the city who may be
without friends or acquaintance, and who desire to
surround themselves with good moral influences.
Apart, from ita social Amoral, and religious aspects,
however, this organization, as our readers are aware;
has, since the commencement of the war, in the moat
practical and humane manner, asserted its patriotism.
The amount of good accomplished, through the in
strumentality of its army committee alone, is a
noble monument to its efficiency as a Christian in
stitution.
It is, however, more especially to the latest feature
of its work that we wish to-day to invite the atten
tion of our renders: we refer to the arrangements
which have just been perfected at the Rooms for im
parting prompt and accurate information respecting
the sick and wounded soldiers in our hospitals, by
correspondence and otherwise, to their friends in any
loyal part of the Union.
This new feature has been inaugurated at the re
quest of the Governor and Surgeon General of this
State, and is entrusted to the immediate manage
meat and superintendence of Joseph Parker,'Esq.,
(Thief of Commission, a gentleman well and favor
ably known throughout our city and State, and one
whose business qualifications and experience pecu
liarly fit him for the arduous labor of love which he
has undertaken. A set of books are kept at the
rooms by Mr. Parker, containing a complete record
of all the sick end wounded soldiers of the State of
Pennsylvania that are now, or that have been at
any time since the commencement of the war, in
any of the twenty-four hospitals of this district. It
will be seen at a glance that the information thus
contemplated will be of the greatest interest to
thousands throughout our State, who will doubtless
avail themselves of this record by corresponding
with Mr. Parker.
THE BAPTISTS OP WILIUNCITON, DELAWARE.-
- We notice by the Wilmington papers that the Bap
tist church of . that city, under the pastoral charge of
the Rev. James S: Dickerson, editor of the Baptist
organ here (the Christirfn Chronic le), is enjoying a
season of unusual religious interest. We rejoice to
bear these favorable accounts of Mr. Dickerson's
labors in a sister State, all the more from the fact that,
notwithstanding his somewhat adverse surroundings
at the outbreak of the rebellion, his patriotism, from
the Mart, has been no less conspicuous than his
piety. Ric ministerial trumpet, both in the edi
torial columns of his newspaper and in his pulpit,
has; since the first rebel gun was fired, given forth
no uncertain sound, and had circumstances found
him in a lower latitude of the furnace of treason, we
have no doubt that his conduct would have placed
him in the same noble category with Augbey,
Brownlow, and others of their school. The Wil
mington Journal of the lath Bays :
"On Sabbath evening last the Second Baptist
Church of this city was thronged to its utmost ca
pacity, many people going- away unable to obtain
admittance.- After a short sermon from the pastor,
the Rev. James S. Dickerson, on the duty of a public
profession of religion, four persons were baptized by
the rite of immersion. One of these candidates was
Adjutant William Lobdell, of the Delaware Cavalry.
As the administrator remarked, noble and praise
worthy as was the calling of a patriot soldier the
ordinance of baptism 'mustered him in , to a ser
vice/A high nd ,nobler- still. The patriot takes a
still boll hag allegiance and becomes ' a soldier
-of the el 7l ~ I lliTist being the great captain of our
salvation ; . 'of whose kingdom there shall be no sad."
How UNION CLERGYMEN ARE SERVED IN THE
'SOUTH.—A Baptist clergyman, the Bey. Mr. Elliott,
was recently hung in Blanco county, Louisiana,
under the following circumstances: A Union man,
on being charged with being an Abolitionist, shot
his accuser, and subsequently escaped in company
with his brother. Mr. Elliott; who chanced to be at
- the house of the Unionist a few days previous to
the shooting affair, was arrested on State authority,
'on suspicion of being in sympathy with the latter.
"Nothing, however, having been proved against him
on examination, he was remanded to the custody
of the provost marshal for a future hearing, but on
his way back to prison he was seized by the snob
and summarily hung.
011SERVANCE OP WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY AT
THE FIRST REIPORIGSD DUTCH CH URCH.—We under ,
stand that Captain Nicholson's Company H, Gray
Reserves, will attend divine service in commemora
tion of the birthday of Washington, at the First
Reformed Dutch Church, northwest corner of Se
venth and Spring Garden streets, tomorrow morn
ing, the WA instant, when we presume a discourse
having some reference to the day will be preached
by the newly-installed pastor of this church, the
Bev. J. H. Suydam.
THE BEECHER FAMILY Ili THE PRESENT WAR.—
The Beechen', against whom the wrath of rebel
sympathizers has been so unsparingly hurled, have
shown at least that they are willing to sustain the
cause of freedom and the 'Union, with something
more than their tongues and pens, as there are at
the present time no less than six members of their
family in the army, viz.: Colonel and Rev. James
Beecher, of the 141st New York ; Chaplain Thomas
K. Beecher ; Lieutenant H. B Beecher (son of
Henry Ward) ; Lieutenant Frederick B. Stowe, and
a son each of William and Charles Beecher.
AN lATTEXPT TO POISON Tux REV. MIL SPUR'
oxorr.—An English correspondent of a °amnia paper
says that an attempt was recently made to poison
the great Baptist preacher of England, the Rev. 0
B. Spurgeon. According to his account, a present
Of a huge plum cake was left at Mr. Spurgeon's
door; but, for some reason, it was examined, and
found to contain arsenic. The act is attributed to
the animosity of some of the people among whom
be was then preaching.
We may also mention, in this connection, that
since the President's Emancipation Proclamation
14r. Spurgeon habitually prays for President Lin
coln, and his immense congregation responds
"Amen." This is regarded as a strong evidence of
change in British feeling towards us since the pro
clamation.
Lirrunnarr.—From correspondence in The Luther
an and. Missionary, of this city, we learn that the
lecture room of a new Lutheran church has just been
dedicated at Schuylkill Haven. The congregation Is
in charge of the Key. Mr. Willard.
DAT 07 PRATICR POE COLLEGES.—Thursday of
the present week was observed among the Presbyte•
clan churches of this -city by Union meetings for
prayer, on behalf of colleges and institutions of
learning. The meeting in the morning was held at
the Clinton-street church, Rev. Daniel March, pas
tor; and the one in the afternoon, at four o'clock, in
the Green Hill church, in charge of the Rev. Mr.
Robbins.
CATHOLIC.—The Roman Catholic Archbishop of
New Orleans has arrived in Paris from Rome. The
new Archbishop of Paris in his first public act
since his promotion has made an attack upon Eng
land and Russia for not agreeing to the French pro
posal for interference in America. The Pope of
Rome has adopted a measure by which the period of
office of the Generals of the Orders of St. Dominic,
St. Francis (both the Observatins and Capuchins),
and St. Augustine, is prolonged from six to twelve
years.
REVIVALS IN TILE METHODIST EPISCOPAL
filunaonns.—ltevival services are now in progress
in the .Ebenezer, Wharton street, Eleventh street,
Bethel, and a number of other Methodist Episcopal
churches In this city. The attendance at most of
them has been very large, and the eftbrts have been
rewarded with the usual amount of fruits.
- -
Dn. KENNAND , s MINIsTRY.—In Dr. Joseph
Kennard's recent Twenty-fifth Anniversary Sention,
as pastor of the Tenth Baptist Church, Eighth street,
above Green, he stated that the church had during
this Period received 2,376 members, of whom 1,450
were baptized, and 20 of them had become ministers
.of the Gospel.
Tim UNITARIAN PRESBYTERIANS IN IRELAND.—
The Belfast correspondent of The Lender' Mehl', Re
view (Presb.) describes a division which has taken'
place in the Unitarian body in Ireland, one class
holding by Unitarianism in. its old form, and ad
hering to the Remonstrant Synod and the other
adopting a more sentimental rationalism, and uniting
with the Presbytery of. Antrim. The ,congregation
at Carrickfergus has been split In two, the New
School retaining the place of worship. Both parties
have just settled ministers, the Old School being ac
commodated for the ordination in one of the churches
of the Orthodox Presbyterians. At the ordination
dinner, several speeches were dent/fired by leading
ministers of the Old School. Air. McAllister, one of
the most accomplished men in the connection,
showed the tendency there was • to Patkerism, and
necessity they were under of maintaining Mecham
ter of a Christian church: , But the speech of the
evening was by Dr. Montgomery, who urged the
propriety of requiring from candidates for ordina
tion certain] explanations of their views on leading
questions In religion.

INSTRUCTIONS TO ASSESSORS AND As-
SlSTarer AsSESSOnS.—The following Instructions
have been issued to the assessors and assistant as
sessors of the various collection districts, concern
ing the preparation and transmission of the alpha
helical list and monthly abstract. This was donsin
order to secure uniformity and accuracy in the to
turns of assessments, and to facilitate the auditing
of the same in the Office of Internal Revenue:
. 1. A schedule of all articles and occupations sub
ject to taxation under the excise law, arranged al
phabetically in classes, and each article numbered,
has been printed on the first page of each assess
went book. This schedule Is an exact transcript Or
compendium of the headings in the monthly no
street, and has been prepared to facilitate accurate
descriptions and entries in the assessment book.
2. A new aeseinbly book has been printed, with
separate columns and headings for the name, class,
and number of each article or occupation ; and in
making en tries in this book each article or occupa
tion must be , designated precisely as it is in the sche
dule. If, for example, the article to be entered is
leather, it should be copied from the schedule thus :
Leather, manufacture ot, A, 37. Or, again : Apothe
caries, 13, 1, &c. In each case the letter and number
must be placed under the pepper heading.
3. A new alphabetical list has been printed, con
taining columns for the name, class, and number of
each article or occupation similar to the same in
the assessment book ; and I n preparing the alphabe
tical list front the assessment book groat mire must
be taken to copy each entry in full, in • its proper co-
lump, and under its appropriate heading.
4. The assessment of each division must be ehter
ed by itself on the alphabetical list, one division
following another in regular order from first to last
each division being properly numbered in the head
line at the top of the page. The various blank spaces
should be
.properly filled up. Then add up the
"amount of tax" of each class on every page,
carry the footings forward from page to page to the
close of each division, and finally recapitulate the
amounts by divisions on the last page of the list,
thus presenting the total amount of assessments of
each class, and also the grand total. The list must
then be carefully examined and compared with the
copy furnished to the collector, the, various sheets
must be arranged in their order, fastened together,
and accurately paged, and the collector's acknowledg
ment of the receipt of the list as a whole should be
written at the end.
B. In preparing the monthly abstract for the office
of Internal Revenue, the assessments in each divi
sion must be entered opposite the figure in the mar
gin of ;the abstract indicating the number of the di
vision. The total of each class must be recapitu
lated at the end by divisions, and added up so as to
show the grand total; and these must correspond
with the totals in the alphabetical list- Each column
of figures in the abstract must also be added up,
and the sum set down at the foot of the column.
6, When the alphabetical list and monthly ab
stract are thus prepared, they must be securely en
closed in the same package and transmitted to the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue as soon as possi
ble after the close or each month.
• -
A CURIOUS SAI.E.--Some days ago a lot
of unclaimed packages left at one of our railroad
depots were disposed of by sale. The collection was
most unique; the minutim were most extraordinary.
The affair was a sort of lottery, and afforded abun
dait room for speculation. Buyers who were dis
posed to be close hemmed and hawed to admiration,
and asked advice of shrewdlooking strangers,
scraping their throats and scraping acquaintances in
the same breath. Travellingeommodities, done up in
emery description of style, from the last new patent
trunk to the last dilapidated red silk pocket-handker
chief, were scattered in eircumambulatory confusion.
The outward appearance of each trunk, band-box,
and package, was very suggestive of the internal
arrangement. A lumbering, brass-nailed, well-strap
ped trunk, hinted at purple and fine linen. The
dingy, dowdy pocket-handkerchief, and the crooked
stick, were silent insinuations of linen which had
forgotten when it was clean, and shoes not so well
acquainted with the cobbler as they ought to be.
When one has his fortune told, he interprets the
answers to his own liking. In this case every one
felt assured that if he did not win a jewel In a setting
of gold, he at least should possess a diamond in the
rough. The superannuated millinery, the bent and
broken crinoline, the thread-bare stockings, and the
whaleboncless umbrellas, bargained for on this occa
sion, surpassed conjecture, and furnished guess
work for curiosity. .The eager intensity of all pre
sent gave zest and vigor to the scene. The number
of the packages disposed of, and the variety of their
contents, would have pointed the moral of humani
ty, and adorned the tale of fashion. •

TILE RESOURCES OF PEYNSYLVANIA.—
The committee appointed to confer with the Auditor
General, in relation to the publicaton of a map
showing the railroads, canals, and navigable waters,
coal fields, iron factories and oil districts in Penn
sylvania, have reported that the State has twenty
five thousand miles of railroad, and about a thousand
miles of canals, ten thousand square miles of bitu
minous coal land, four hundred square miles of an
thracite, alibrding nine and one-third million tons
of anthracite, and sixty•seven million bushels of
bituminous coal of the tonnage of 1860. Her im
proved lands. cash value, was six hundred and sixty
two million, fifty thousand, seven hundred and seven
dollars; agricultural implements, twenty-two mil
lion, [ur hundred end forty-two thousand, eight
hundred and forty-two dollars. •
Of the total products of iron ore inlB6o, in the
United States, which were two millions, five hun
dred and fourteen thousand, two hundred and
eighty-two tons of iron mined, there were one mil
lion, seven hundred and six thousand, four hundred
and seventy-six tons mined in Pennsylvania. The
totalproduct of bar iron in the United States in 1860
was four hundred and six thousand, two hundred
and ninety-eight tone, of which two hundred and
fifty-nine thousand, seven hundred and nine tons
were made in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania contains
ninety-three anthracite furnaces, one hundred and
fifty charcoal and coke furnaces, one hundred and
ten refining forges, and ninety-one rolling mills.
DECISIONS UNDER THE EXCISE LAW.
The following late decisions under the excise law
are of importance : Any article known to com
merce as an article of traffic, which is produced by
hand or machinery, must be regarded as a manu
facture and subject to a tax, unless specially ex
empted by law.
Whenever articles are manufactured without spe
cial order, and for general sale, the presumption that
they are articles of trade is so strong that no amount
Of proof can rebut this presumption so as to exempt
the manufacturer from the payment of tax.
When articles are made upon order, then an in
quiry must be instituted for the purpose of ascer
taining whether such articles are known to the com
merce of the country, or, if offered for sale, whether
purchasers could be found. If either of these con
ditions should be established, the manufacturer
would be liable to tax. If, however, it should ap
pear that the article a produced are not known to
trade, and could not be sold if offered to the public,
they would then be exempt from taxation as not be:
Mg manufactures within the meaning of the law.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has decided
that local express companies lire subject to the pro
visions of the' 105th section of the excise act, and
for any violation thereof are liable to the penalty
therein prescribed.
ALTERED GREERBACKS. The altered
$6O treasury notes, which are said to be in ciroula.
lion, are calculated to deceive those not acquainted
with the genuine bill. The following description is
given of the altered note :
These notes are altered from twos, United States
treasury notes, in the following manner: Over the
figure 2 in the right and left upper corners of the
note the figures 60 are neatly pasted. The small
figures appearing around the larger figures are
blotted out with green ink, resembling the "patent
green" tint. The word "two," which appears
eleven timely in scroll work lengthwise across the
top of the bill, is blotted out by the green ink. The
same is done with the words "two" appearing in
the scroll work in the lower right band corner of
the bill, directly above the name -" P. W. Spinner,
T e reasurer," arc. The word " fifty " is neatly pasted
over the word "two," at the right of the vignette,
The Roman "H” in the lower left hand corner of
the bill is obliterated by the green ink, and Is com
pletely hid. The reverse side of the bill is made en
tirely green, except in the central portion, where
the words "This note is a legal tender," Sus., appear.
A dot of green Is placed upon every one of the al
most innumerable. 2s on the back. Altogether, the
notes are well calculated to deceive. There area
large number of them out, and but one arrest has
thus far been made.
iciT. VTSCENT'S HOIEE.—The Sisters of
Charity of St. Vincent's Home have lately erected a
large edifice on the lot adjoining the Home, in order
to accommodate the importunate demand for the ad
mission of destitute children. The building has
three large wards, well ventilated, that cannot be
surpassed for health and comfort to the children.
Each ward can easily be converted into two, as cir
cumstances require. There is also a large piazza
and yard , used as a play-ground for the children.
The improvements and the large number of destitute
children (the majority of them the children of sol
diers that must be adthitted into the institution),
must necessarily cause a large expense: The Wei
tuber' is supported solely by the contributions of the
benevolent.

is to able to support herself, and, therefore, depends
entirely on her friends. Fifty dollars would support
her for the remainder of the year 1833. Any dona

TIM CULTIVATION OF TOW FLAX—Cot
ton is becoming so scarce that necessity will soon
find a substitute for it. Many of our farmers and
others have given some attention to the cultivation
of tow flax. An acre of good land, it is said, will
yield about ten bushels of seed, and a ton and a half
to two tons of Straw. The former is now selling at
$3.25 per bushel, and we understand that It is in
contemplation to erect machinery in our State that
will make a market for the straw. The land intend
ed for flaxseed should he prepared the'same as for
oats, and the seed should be sown about the first of
April. Our fathers and mothers formerly slept be

cloths, and why can't we do the garnet

[Before Mr. Alderman Dougherty.]
Almost n Murder.
A poor woman, names Eliza O'Brian, with three
small children, one a tender Infant, entered a com
plaint last evening, before Mr. Alderman Dougher
ty, against Mary Fritz and Timothy O'Connor. The
complainant had a severe gash in the left temple ;
her hair was matted with blood, and her face deeply
stained. Her appearance, was enough to shock the
stoutest nerves. By her side was her daughter, a
poorly-clad little girl. Her arm was lacerated and
her mouth aut. The mother had a nursing infant in
her alms, that, with Ds tiny hands, kept playing
with the matted hair of the maternal parent. This
completes the picture. The evidence elicited the
following facts:
The parties live in Bread street. About 3 o'clock
in the afternoon, while the prosecutrix was scrub
bing the door of an outhouse, Mary Fritz threw some
coal ashes or other rubbish down the well. Mrs.
O'Brian told her she ought not to do so, Be it was
against the law.. Some words ensued, and presently,
as is alleged by the complainant, Mrs. Fritz beat her
with a bunch of keys, lacerating her head in a shock.
ing manner. The little girl, Margaret O'Brien was
present, and while se.reaming, and child-like clinging
to the mother, was struck by defendant and choked.

being attracted by the noise of the souffle, rushed in
between the parties to separate them. Mrs. O'Brien
testified that he held her by the wrists while Mrs.
Fritz struck her two or three blows.
These are the principal points in the evidence.
Mary Fritz was ordered to find bail in the sum of
$l,OOO, and Mr. O'Conner in the sum of POO to an
swer at court.
(Before Mr. Alderman Battler.)
Final Hearing.
The case of Ohslles Mika, charged with • the lar
ceny of 0150, the property of Louisa Matilda
Henry, was finally disposed of by Mr. Alderman
Beltler, yesterday afternoon. The accused was held
to bail in the sum of $9OO to answer at court. A. lit
tle girl, 8 years old, the daughter of the prosecutrix,
testified that she saw the accused take the money.
Her evidence did not conflict with that of the mo
ther, given on the day previous.
Sergeant John Lowland, who had command of the
Provost Guard, being sworn, detailed a statement,
and said that, under all the circumstances, it would
have been impossible for the accused to have pur
loined the money, as he was not even in the room;
the husband of the oroseeutrix had deserted; in
formation respecting his whereabouts was given to
the Provost Guard by a woman who charged the de
serter with having stolen her husband's hat. The
prosecutrix replied, "this woman wanted twenty
dollars, or she would tell on the husband, and have
him arrested as a deserter. A scene now took place
between the two women; it was a war of words;
there did not appear to be any want of ammunition.
Thus ended the hearing.
[Before Mr. Alderman Dougherty.)
Jeremy. DigleUer.
A young man, giving the fictitious name of James
Little, was arraigned before Alderman Dougherty
yeaterday, on the charge of fraud perpetrated on Mi.
McKibbin, the proprietor of the Merchants' Hotel.
It seems, Bo far as developed, that the accused took
boarding and lodging at the Merchants' Hotel, and
one evening took his departure without paying -his
bill, amounting to 811.60. It being supposed that he
belonged to that class of systematic swindlers who
go the rounds of the hotels in large cities, a most
rigid search was made for him. He was traced from
one hotel to another by certain signs, the character
of which may be developed at a further hearing to
take), place, at three o'clock this afternoon, before
the alderman. Hotel keepers might serve the cause
of justice, as well as themselves, by making it a
point to attend the hearing this aitenmon.
[Before Mr. Alderman Comly.)
' Alleged Larceuy.
Henry Hogan is the name given by a man who
stands charged witht the larceny of live dollars,
under the following rather novel circumstances:
He was .arrested by Officer Shaw, in Front street,
Nineteenth ward, and arraigned before Mr. Alder
man Comly, of Frankford. The evidence was that
the defendant stopped at the Ilarrowgitte Rotel, on
the Frankford road, a few evenings since, and in
stated on Mr. William Rodgers to buy a horse. Mr.
Rodgers did not seem willing to make the purchase.
The defendant insisted, and said "You may take
the horse for five dollars."
Mr. Rodgers, thinking perhaps the defendant was
acting on the bluff principle, put down a five-dollar
note on the counter. Mr. H. picked it up, and put
it into his pocket, and said : "Now give me two-and
a-half more, and you may have the horse." •
Mr. Rodgers refused. .•
Mr. Hog an insisted, and held on to the five. Pre
sently he jumped into the wagon, and drove away,
leaving the astonished Rodgers to whistle for his
money.
The accused was required to enter bail in the sum
of $5OO to answer at court.
[Before ?sir. Alderman Gibson. ]
Wash Clothes Stolen.
Oalingsworth WAS arraigned yesterday,
on the charge of purloining some wash clothes from
the yard attached to the residence of Edward Night
ingale, at Manayunk.
It seems, as Officer Hagy was patroling around the
highways and byways of the ancient village of
hlanayunk, on Thursday evening, he observed some
body stripping the, clothesline. The fellow, upon
finding himself discovered, ran. He was pursued by
the officer, andlied to a' culvert, where he hid him.
self,• the officer captured him. The accused had
nothing to say. He was sent to prison to await a
trial.
innfore Mr. Alderman Good.)
Murderous Scene on Chestnut Hill.
James Kelley and Milton Griffiths are the names
given by a couple of rather desperate•looking men,
who were arraigned yesterday morning on the
charge of committing an assault and battery on
Isaac Anson and hie brother at a .late hour on
Wednesday night, while they were on the highway
and near their borne at Chestnut Will. Mr. A. re
ceived a severe blow on the bead with a heavy club
used by one of the assailants. There were four
in the attacking party. At a later hour four

fair, arrested two of the party, who gave the names
as recorded above. They were identified as being in
