OITY IKTELLIGENOE. OB ADDITIONAL LOCAL ITEMS 6KB THIBD PAS E.J Rev. A. A. WitLrrrs, Pastorelrct op West Arch 8tkekt I'kkhh ytekian Church. In answer to a correspondent, we give the follow ing sketch of the lWor-eloct of the West ArcU Street Presbyterian Church: The Kev. Mr. Willi 1 ta was born In New Jersey, but early "emigrated" to this city, whore his parents resided many years (his mother In still living In Philadelphia), and ri-celved his early education under the cure of Kev. James Good ellow, with many of the now lnflaential and lending men of the city. Hubscr-uontly. he entered the Classical and Theological Heminnry In Pennington, N. J., and after graduating with the highest honors, was, for three years, one of the moht efficient teachers In that Institution. From the seminary Mr. Willltts wont Into the pulpit, and the first seven years of his ministry was spent In the Methodist Church, , in the leading churches of that denomination In Ilex bury and Lowell, Ma. In 18 ill, lie wits called to the Keforiued Dnlcli Church, In Crown atreei, above Knee, which whs then In a very embarrassed condition. To work succosslully In this cnurcii wus a severe struggle, but by ' hard labor and the fall hful co-opoiallon ol the little Omul oi Christ I men nnd women, the pt w were all filled witlilu three year, aud the church priS-pereu so Hindi that the lloitt lug debts were paid oil", and the con gregation freed from liabilities. The build ing was alterwards sold to the city for a market site, and the Dutch Keformers of Crown street began their noble enterprise at Sere nth and (Spring Garden streets with some $17,001). This magnificent church was bnllt at a cost of opwardsof &D0.000, and when Rev. Mr. Willltts left 11 in 18(H) the only debt remaining on It was about $15,000. Our readers will remember how rapidly the church on .Spring Garden street filled up under the mlu btry of Mr. Willltts, and for a long lime prior to his separation from that People, the edition, larue a It was, was too nmnll for the crowds lliut visited it on .Sundays. The inoome of the church was annually from one thousand to tllteeu hundred dollars m ex cess of the current expenses. In 1800, at the tunics i solicitation of the late Kev. Dr. Bethune Mr. Willltts left the Re formed Dutch uhurch here, aud toon charne of the FIibi Reformed DutcU Unuroh In Brooklyn, New York. That was t lie oldest church of that denomination in Brooklyn, aud oonUliiol several prominent and wealthv men. but. was very sllmly ntteuded. His ministry there, like here, was greatly blessed, nnd soon after hi labors commenced the couyreg tlon Increased, and the churcn filled up. The building and church were remodelled at heavy expense, and . In 1804 the church contributed ten thousand dollars for the endowment of Hutgers' College one-tenth of the entire eudowmeutof that In stitution. In 1865 Mr. Willltts left this strong, healthy, m and wealthy church, and look charge of the celebrated Iiee Avenue Keiormed Dutch Church, which had been nearly two year without a pastor, and whose people had become scattered Irom various causes. During the two years he was at the head of Lee Avenue Church It has been a magnificent success. Nearly every Hilling is occupied on the Sabbath, and all the floating debts have been paid off. The Sunday Schools have largely increased, and now nurn er upwards of 1500 in regular attendance. Some seventy persons were added to the com munion of the church in the same period. Such is the history, in brief, of the distin guished clergyman whom the people of West Arch Street Church have had the good sense to call to their elegant edifice. Already several of the pews have been sold and rented to well known citizens, and by the time Mr. Willltts commences bis pastoral duties here (It is said that will be on the last Sunday in thi.t month), it will be difficult to purchase or rent a very desirable pew in the church. We are glad to welcome Mr. Willltts back to Philadelphia, and we predict for him. a career of great usefulness and success. ...

ORITTJARY. In this age of money-getting, when men seam to II ve only for the world and Us pleasures and honors, Us mockeries and hollow-hcartedneNS, there Isa fresh ness of feeling and real Joy In contemplating the char acter of one who has lived an upright life, and left to his wife and children the reputation of an honest man and an humble Christian. Such a man was GEOKQK A.SBRYOCK, who died In Philadelphia on Monday last, and whose remntns hnve since been laid in the cemetery at Chamberslnirg. Upon the pleasant hills where In childhood he loved to rove. A pnper manufacturer, largely engaged In business, yet ever thoughtful of his duty to his fellow men. and of that future which Is eternal, Mr. Shryock devoted the best days of, his lltn not only to advanolug tlm interests of his vocation and benefiting society by his successful experiments in the produc tion of paper out of straw and slmalar mate rials, hut also through his Influence and exam ple Biding In the advancement of Christianity. Commercial crises came and compelled him to re-, lliKiulsh bis proprietorship In the nilllH; yet with that hiiuillliy and reHiiiiiatlnn which ever distinguished him, Mr. Shryoch repined not, but at once soiiKht another business path, and lor twenty yearn per formed with scrupulous exactness aud" fidelity the new duties assigned him. A man of clesrund fur-seeing mind approving only the right, and honestly rondemnlng the wrong he fashioned bis ways according to his understanding of Mod's laws, and sought the path that leads to ever laslliiB hapnlness; therefore lie feared not death, and hopeiully and calmly yielded up his spirit when (he summons came. Nearly threescore and ten years were permitted hlmto llveln this itohltn) preparatory world, and he has now gone to meet the reward which Is prepared lor the jnst In heaven. frP A GAME OF BASE BALL WILL BK played between the Quaker City and the Uenrr liase Hall Clubs on SATURDAY AFTKIt NOON, (fame.

Continued from the First I'age, Ills character Is very much misinterpreted. P.'ivld, lu his Immhle ninnner, snid ot hiniHelt'that he wan a ' bhepherd's hoy, come with pebble Irom the brook;" but Ihe holy writers say of David that he was a man ol war even in his youth, when lie was recomrueiuld toHatil. Nay nuirr, tliut he wns a con ely person. Ik , more, that be wua amun ol prudent sense. May, more, that he was a cunnliiK player. In one thing at least I must adm.t that the counsel for the prisoner has resembled Duvlil. When David prayed for Saul to banish the evil spirit troni bira, hu wns limited to the simple harpot Jews, He played perhaps one, two. three, lour, live, or ti n KirinfcH; but ihe counsel for the prisoner came here playing upon a burp of a thousand strings. "'1 he sulril of the Just made perfect." (Laughter.) We have music and melody ol a most excellent character, the music ot the suheres. We have the outward world demonstrated before us, and we have all the Inner world; all the untold recesses ot Ihe human mind are portrayed before lis. It is aiKo said that I am to muUe cuultal out of this Capital! What capital ? The cuidtal of SHUU here tmni day lo day. nluli t after iilirht, and then when this Is over takuiK up LeU case, and sit day alter day aud night alter nik'ht, controverting theories. litre lam to remain, day after day, for eighteen mouths, although the public are warned not to repeat the ('.use. To make capital! 1 am here, as you are, In obedience to law, to do my duty. Yon are to do ' your duty, and you will not, by your verdict, what ever it may he. strive to make such a verdict in order to make capital, any more than I will strive to make It. This was a case which the evidence convinced him should he tried speedily. Was the public prosecutor to wail, wait, and wait, until somebody more Inte rested in ihe prisoner than In the cause of Justice should spirit away the boy wno had Ibund the razor, or the raan who Identified the razur should die, go away, or become Insane? A warning was taken Irom the case of Oottlelb Williams, and if It was considered baroarism to bring a red-handed, murderer to a speedy trial, he would give the murderers ot Philadelphia to understand that, ?o long as he occupies his pruseut position, there id Ik lit be more of It. Then as to the cuse In discussion, the first question Is, lid this prisoner kill Dorcas Mugllton? Counsel Tor deleuse, at the beginning of the cme.were satlstied in their hearts mat he did It. aud their doubt now . about it are ihe result of study, I was at first stun, bomly denied, bat now only partially because they were comrelled to relinquish the grasp with that hand In order to pull haruei with theother upon the Hue of Insanity. It Is the Commonwealth's theory, that the prisoner wua let lii'o the h iue;hy Mrs. Magllton; that he quietly put his hat on the taoli ; the prisoner eu leaned her attenMou while she was knitting, and waichingh s opportunity, he stole the hammer aud nlruc the blows; tho old lady foil lorward, and before using ihe razor he robbed her, for there was uoia drop oi blood npon the notes; then he completed his hellish work by cutting her throat; he threw the razor into iLe sink and washed ills bauds at the hydrant In the yard: he theu let Mr. Alagilton lu; he opened the door, and tola the world that he had visited the place aud louud the woman murdered; betook the husband Into the room and showed him his murdered wire. Wlnnemore was, the witnesses tell us, perfectly calm and collected. There was no tr pldatlon, excitement, or evidence of recovering Irom uu epileptic fit: this man whom. It is said, the sight of blood makes mad, was In tbat deluge of bloo i, and told the oftlcer he ' bad washed from bis hands the blood he got upon them by feeling tier bead. Helen his hotel that morning without a cent, but he Is arrested with two - bills iu his pocket. Now, ll Mrs. Magilton bad two bills, and the prisoner, isn't It reasonable to suppose that the two found upon the prisoner were the same? No wltuesses were pro- uced here who testify they gave him any money. Wllllauis didn't get H, but he knew what he wanted. George W. Wlnueiuoie kuew what he wauled when he got but ft. Mr. Magilton was not a man without means. ho would steal the prisoner's rawr for the purpose of having this poor creature convicted of murder? It this is not his razor, where is it T Why haun t It been produced. The counsel for the defense did not get this razor Immediately, because warning was.taken Irom Ber ber's hoot, lu that case the ooon was giveu to the counsel for Ihe defense, i uiI because ot something peculiar about the track It made, thev had another oue made that very night, aud brought it into Court the next morning, with the nails aud pegs ariveu lu Iu exactly the same places as ibeother. In reference to the suhect of animal magnetism, which Ihe defense have brought up, suppose, for In stance, that Mrs. Magiltou hud the power ot magne tizing this man, and she really did exercise this power, and he had the affection which the magne tized one is said to have fir the magnelxer. now Is It reasonable to suppose that bad she magnetized him Itlwould make him take uo that hammer aud strike her in the bead one, two. three, four, rive, six, seven blows, and then cut her throat with a razor? Such a presumption, lo say the least of It, Is simply absurd. No, that will hot do those pictures of the flowers of paradise, spoken of as having such an eftect upon tie prisoner, 't hose pictures were not In the room where Mrs. Map? Hum wus killed. If this foolish idea Is to be eniertslued the prisoner must have purposely marched upaud down before those pictures in another room until he hd worked himself Into a murderous state ot mind, and the" walked Into the room where she was sitting, aud taking the hammer, killed her. . Kplleptic tils have not been proved. The prisone may have bad tits, but no person who professes to know anything about the matiersuys that they were epileptic; and they were not. There Is no scientific evidence whatever for dis cussion. The prisoner's melancholy, which no doubt wan consequential lo a l-w state of fl nances , Is no evidence wuatever 01 insanity. 11 uis seeing spirits were an evidence ot Infinity, the witnesses who testified to that fact are iu-au, aud therefore tiot lo to be believed. Hallucinations are not evidences or Insanity. They are the tendencies of an overwrought mind. The pri soner, if he had them, wus not insane. We cannot condemn the things we c.uiiiot coiunrehend. Admit ting that Ihe subject of splrltuali'm Is corrn't.aud were it allowed I n the flesh to see tho spirits of tne dead, did this prisoner see thoiu? No! lie isa mere ad venturer. He wus impo Ingupou these peoplo lo gut bis meals. He Is an Imposter. Two leaves ol his diary are torn out, and thev und n'bteuly made y with In order lo hide the deplorable xtale of his finances. You cannot pro lect your little) on. s whom you leave at home It you don't execme tho law. It you are Ballsiied that this man committed this high crime, I am satisfied you will say so by your verdict. Judge Hrewsier was cbargiug the Jury wheu our re port closed.
