Another Tragical ArThlr.
The following letter was received from a
(fiend in Bradford county, by the editor of the
Philadelphia Evening Journal.
"Some eighteen months ago a Rev. Mr. Le
fevre camo to a quiet valley of the Susquehan
na, in quest of a congregation, over which to
exercise his pastoral charge. . Ilia c'othca
were somewhat thread worn, and the wig of
his reverence had evidently seen better days.
His devout appearance and exceeding zeal, ac
companied by considerable talent, noon ingrati
ated him with the people of a most respectable
church, who after some attention to the out
ward man in the way of a coat and wig, placeJ
in their pulpit a man who for months was the
nitmirntion of the surrounding country for his
eloquence, zeal and piety.
It is now discovered that the wig-covered
Reverend has made a young member of his
Church a mother, without its rites. The young
lady is ofa plain but highly respectable fami
ly, herself young, beautiful, unmarried, and
remarkable for the purity of her previous life,
and the exemplary discharge of her filial duties.
Her mother's health had been such for some
years that the daughter in a great measure
supplied her place to the younger children. In
this relation she won the especial regard of all
who knew her. Father, mother, and daughter
were members of the same Church, uniting
their hopes of the next world, as well as tho en
joyment of this. This peaceful fold was inva
ded by the pastor. It is unnecessary to dwell
upon this atrocious abuse of the pastoral rela
tions. The consequences hold forth a fearful
warning. About a week ago the daughter's
situation was known, and the guilt brought
Inline to the reverend father. Her mother was
thrown into convulsions, in which she was yet
lying when her informant wrote, and still more
dreadful, her father, who had through life cher
ished a spotless reputation for himself and fam
ily, on hearing his daughter's shame, and his
pastor's villany, "pressed both bis hands to his
breast gave one groan and died !" Thus
writes to us a friend who may be impli
citly relied on. The Rev. Mr. Lcfevre was
lodged in the jail of Bradford county, on Mon
day lafcU"
I.rffvre the Seducer.
We were called on a few days since by a
clergyman, making inquiry whether the I-efe-vrc
now in the jail of Bradford county is the
same who was formerly an Episcopal minister
i:i New York, and who was silenced for mal
practices, went to Canada, and was understood
to have returned afterwards to the States!
We gave him a personal description of the
man, which he thought not unlike the old coon.
We arc daily expecting information which will
throw liew light upon his dark history. In the
mean time we find the following inquiries in
the Providence Chronicle, R. I. It is plain
that this Lefevre is an experienced villain, or
he bears a very unfortunate name.
'Can any of our readers inform us whether
the Lcfevre charged with the crime of seduc
tion in Bradford county, Pa , was ever a citizen
of this State, a Congregational clergyman, sub
sequently a Baptist, then again a Congregation
alist minister a few years at Slaterville ; after
wards in the, State of New York, where he
ruined a young lady of his flock, ahumloned
his wife, and fled into the Slate where justice
has overtaken him at last! Is this the same
manor another villuin of the same nuine in
clerical robes !" Exchange Regitttr.

The Coun t,
Which we mentioned on Saturday as having
been seen in New Btdford, is thus described
by a writer in the the New Bedford Mercury :
"Its brilliancy was almost equal to that of Ve
nus. Its situation is very near the limb of the
sun ; its tail appears about 3 degrees in length.
It may be the comet announced some three
months since in Europe ; it was then travers
ing the constellation Draco ; be it that or ano
ther, it is of rare brilliancy. There are but
three on record, of sufficient brilliancy to be
seen in the day season. The first was 4.1 years
before Christ, and is called 'a hairy star;' it
was seen with the naked eye in the day time.
The second was seen in the year 1102, and
was so brilliant that the lioht of the sun, at the
end ol March, did not hinder people seeing it
ul mid-day ; both its nucleus and its tail, was
to use the language of the day, 'two fathoms
long.' The third appeared in Feb. lth, 1711,
and nearly equalled Venus in splendor, and
many persons saw it at mid-day, without glass
es. 11 may yet prove that the comet ot to-ouy
is the same us that of 1 llfj."

And gave her little store ;
Though amall the gift 'twas all her board.
