much of the stolen property, taken from

time he received his wound that it was
a mortal, one, and that hislease of life
was short. Ho was, therefore, urged to
free his mind of criminal acts and ao t ,
complices of which he was thought to be
'cognizant, but he kept his lips closed on
these points as though they were held
with &Nice. Ho divulged nothing, and
took with him Into the other world his
knowledge of crimes' and criminals with
which he is supposed to have been Con

Ngirservistors sometlinel have a hard
road to travel, yet their's is a very ne
cessary ofliciore which has an intimate
relation to thd safety, convenience and
comfort of the traveling public. They
have great responsibilities, and some
times are mulct in damages undesrved
ly. The office of supervisor of roads is
the most thankless °tall within the range
of a municipality. That our readers may
he posted in regard to the duties and re
sponsibilities of road rupervisors wogive
a synopsis of a charge to the jury by
Judge Butler, in a case against the Su
pervisors of a township in Chester coun
ty, this State. His honor said that uuder
the provisiOns of the general road law
the supervisors are required to open all
roads; that in doing so they are not au
thorized to judge and detfide what extent
er roadway is necessary to accommodate
the public travel; that the rcad must be
opened to the fullest extent of the ground
appropriated to that purpose; that if the
width at which the road is laid out is 33
feet (as is teualLy the case) it must be
opened to the entire extent; that the
roadway will of' course be narrower;
that the roadway - of a 33 feet road, after
allowing the proper side-drains, ate.,
may not, under the must fas;orable cir
cutustances, exceed 22 or 23 feet, and
that where the circumstances are less fa
vorable it will of course be narrower—as
where embankments are necessary, the
supervisors having no authority to go
ontside of the 33 feet in commencing the
slope; that the roadway must be male as
wide as the natureof the ground will ad
mit; that all obstructions to safe and con
venient travel must be removed, and
this without regard to expense unte.ss
virtually impracticable; that the road
way should be so raised that the water
falling upon it will run off to the ebb '
•
that when the road is thus opened the
supervisors must, thereafter, as far as•
practicable keep it l t rffiis condition, al
lowing_ no fence or then obstruction to
be placed within its limits; that it will at
,times, of course, be found by travelers
to be out of repair —will become hollow
from the wear of wheels and the effects
of rains—and that the supervisors are
not blameable unless they suffer the con
dition of things to continue; that it is
their duty_ to keep themselves informed
of the condition of the roads, that they
must not wa,t , to be notified ; that where
the roads suddenly get out of repair, as
from the effect of rain, the Supervisors
are not responsible until they - have had
time,in the careful and vigilant discharge
of their duties, to discover the defect;
but if it continues for months, or it may
be even weeks, they are responsible—
not only by indictment, but also by suit
for the damages that may be sustained
by individuals injured in person or
property, in traveling the road; that they
are entitled tea reasonable time to dis
cover imperfections, but must be vigi
lant to find them out; and that when
discovered they must proceed without
delay to put the road in order: that they
cannot watt until it suits the conven
[line() of their private business; that this
duty can not be postponed; neither can
they wait until it suits the convenience
of the taxpayers to turn out and do the
work; that at some season the farmers
cannot leave their fields and the super
visors must under such circumstances
find the necessary assistance wherever it
can be had; that such is the law, and the
Court has nothing to do but declare it,
leaving its enfortment or application to
others, upon whom the dray devolves.

large and would become a drug in_ the

To the lice. J. B. Breckenridge—
DEAR Sia;—ln your Essay of August
24th, you refer us toll() following Scrip
ture In proof that " thesolll eiltitalo a
conscious state after death"--LLuke xx.
37, 38: :'Now that the dead are raised'
even Moses showed at the bush, when
ho called the Lord the God of Abraham,
and the God of Isaac, and the God of Ja
cob; for, ho is not a God of the dead, but
of the living; for all live unto him."—
This text, you say, teaches that Abra
ham; Isaac and Jacob arc now twiny as
disembodied souls. Had you given the
above text a careful and candid examin
ation you would, I believe, have been
convinced that it teaches nothing of the
kind. The Sadducees believed that when
mankind died they passed as completely
out of personal existence as belbre they
had any personal existence at all, an o
pinion which neither our Lord, nor His
apostles, ever rebuked. But they fur
ther maintain that the dead would never
more be restored to conscious life by
means or resurtmtion which, they pre
sumed, was an impossibility. It never
seems to have been suggented , to them
that the Divine-energy lass miraculous.
ly displayed in cheating the-personal ex
istence, as in reviving their existence by
resurrection after it has been. extin
guished by death. I would have you,
specially note that these wotds of Christ
contain his memorable; refutation of the
Sadd ocean error thattharii will be no
res
arreelion of the dead. It was of. persons
of this belief that. Paul in oneof Lis pub
lic apologies, Inge*: " Why should
it be thought a thing ncredilke with you
that God should raise thedead?"
- - - •
Now, sir, it Is not for you to say what
these words can be made to mean,- hut
to - humbly Inquire. taut h ey reagg de
mean: • 7r 'year • ophiloo-of chi* teat - rao.
correct,- that- the bodies' of Abraham,'
Isaac and Jacobi are dead, but their im
mortal souls are alive and rejoicing In
heaven (!) is the meaning which our Lord
intended to convey, then where is the
proof to the Sailduc.ces that the dead will
rise again.. for, it was with the special
object of proving the doctrine of the res
urrection of the dead, that Christ uttered
those words. •
The point to be prayed, is by our Lord
thus formally announced, "Now that (he
dead ale raised," or as it is in Mark,
"And w! touching the dead that they
rise, have you not read in the book of
Moses," . Your interpretation des
troys the proof the dead will rise, whi.h
is the point in question, and forces this
words to teaclia doctrine which is con
trary to all Scripture, viz: That when
men are dead and buried, they are liv
ing without bodies, anti Were the res
urrection. You cannot jail to observe
that your exposition of the text cannot
ho the righteous, since it could not have
convinced the Saddacoes that th F , dead
will live again by resurrection. But ex
pounded in accordance with our Lord's
wowed purpose, which was, to prove by
WO writings of Moses, the doctrine of
the resurrection of the dead. We tao f a in
his text a most convincing proof of that
ail-important doctrine. Addressing his
skeptical interrogators, our Lord thus
virtually spoklit, "You have read in the
writings of Moses, In whom you be
lieve,
that God is called the God of
Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, long
after they were among the buried dead."
Now if Abraham, Isaac and Jacob wore
dead in that absolute-sense, which you
SauduCees maintain, that they will nev
er live again, then how could Moses ad
dries God as their God? for he is not a
Clod of the dead but of the lip fug. But
you perceive that God is milled the God
of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, although
they were then dead, and had been tor
many years. Then it is that, if God is
not the God of the dead but of the living
these holy patriarchs are not dead forev
er. God must, evidently. intend to
raise them up again at the resurrection
of the just.. There as u very intelligible
sense in which it may be said that "all"
who have lived and who are yet to live,
" live " as if present "unto film." Al
though these patriarchs are not living
now in their actual personality before
God, yet they live in God's memory,
affection and purposes. This relatively
biief extinction, of their existence does
not cut them off from God, "who quick
eneth the dea c and called things which
be not, as though they were—Romans vi:
17. Therefore, because Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob will tire again at the resurrec
tion, when I ",the resurrection and the
life" shall come to bring salvation to the
dead- God, the "God of the living," is
appropriately called their God.
Now, sir, I believe that youcannot fall
to see that this exposition exhibits what
our Lord undertook to prove, viz, The
liesurrection of the Dead. The argu
ment is simple and convicing. The
point in dispute, "Now that the dead
are raised," is triumphantly established.
"Then certain of the scribes answering:.
said, 'Master, thou bast well said,"' If
there be a lingering doubles to the un
consciousness of Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob, read Gen., xxv: 8; xxxv: 29and
, 43, where a full account is presented of
Abe death and burial of those holy men,
and not the least hi nt that any part of
them ever Nveut to heaven. Read first
Kings, ii : 10, "David slept with his
fathers, and was buried in the city of
David." As this was a man of God, we
ask, Did he steep with his living fat hers
fn heaven? What means Peter,Acts,
if :34, "For David is not ascendd into
the heavens." Here we must contend
that the lilting, the thinking, tbe Jammu!.
tat part, if David had anon g part, would
be called David, and not what you affect
toss:intend as merely the •outaide
and it is that David, the essential part,
call it by what name you please, that is
now sleeping with his fathers. , Read
Zech.,
i : 5. "tour fathers, where are
they? and the prophets, do they live for
ever." Would God ask such questions
'es these, if he knew that they were all
alive In heaven? The Jews said to Christ,
John, VIII: 52, "Abraham Is dead, and
the prophets (are dead)." They then
did not believe they were alive in heav
en. But if such were not the fact, we
should have expected Christ tit have
countenanced- the popular dogma, and
have replied. " Truly the bodies of
Abraham and the prophets are dead,
but their souls are bilve and rejoicing in
heaven Rut this separate am-
Maui existencenee of the sonl is of hu
man, and not divine origin.
'The'exhibßlon of-divine truth eon;
cerning the state of man in death, is con
fessedly one from which our life-loving

Famsi..a DIEIEAMES.—At the present
day IL is extremely rare to find a female
who is entire:y free from some one or
other of the diseases peculiar to her sex.
Go where you will, on the monntain top
or iu the valley, in the hamlet or in the
city, among the Itch or the rowly, there
will be found very few females who are
not laboring under physical afilkdion
peculiar to wornanood.
'The cause of MP; we will not under
takiNo explain here. The numerous ap
plications made to us for relief during
our twenty years' practice has long since
induced us to make especial study and
investigation of these diseases, and their
best meas) of cure. They are maladies
• f a peculiar character, and as a general
thing they require a method of treat
ment entirely unlike that adopted for
those common to both sexes. In fact,
the very frequency and extent of female
diseases in our midst, is good evidence
that the " cemnion treatment" has not
met with suk•ciisS, and shows that : some
more efficient course ahould be adopted.
We were long since convinced that
lo
cal remedies and external appliances,
bandages,`&c., were mere palliatives for
the time, and of no permanent value
whatever, but oftimes Injurious; and
that an efficierit course of medication was
the only hope of cure.
For the benefit of those who may a'
afflicted with any disease peculiar to the
sox; whether from a slight (mild, follow
ed by a derangement and irregularity of
tho general system, which many times
produces cough, expectoration, tightness
of chest, difficult breathing, palpiyaion,
Arc., with all the symptoms of "tming.
into a decline," and from any of the
many other causes which produce such
terrible suffering Among women, as to
make life a burdefflo them, wo would
say, that our remedies are selected and
prepared with a special view towards
these ends, and will give relief in all
these kinds of cases, without needless
exposure to indelicate exiunination, or
the wearing of disagreeable instruments
or cumbrous appliances.
We have cured hundredsi- l yea, thous
ands—of' eases by medical treatment
alone, hundreds of whom we Dave never
seen, but who only obtained their medi
cines after having sent to us their cases
for examination.
Our remedies in these diseases are
mild but effeefaal, and are such as we
have found out to act in conformity with
the laws at nature In regulating' health ;
and from the success which has , almost
invariably crowned our efts in these

big facts in the case, Which was ordered
to be published ttY the oongregation.
Without entering into a minute detail
of all the iecideniAthat might be given
for the present, .- the committee would
ti
present the folloWing brief outline of the
leading points in `the atter :
Auout the middle of December last,

n which he entered into an elabonitede

phases superior to the church o? tied, in

At the same timeissalling the principles

manly, coward) l and unchristian man
ner, affirming that scores of her I:idola
ters, and hundissls of her members
were Masons , and Odd Follows, that she
occupied untemible grounds froni which
he,would Dot, suffer her to escape. As An
example of the audacity with which he
assailed her, setiong many others that
might be given,.bo stated in his lecture,
to a largo audience, that ' a United Pres"!
byterian Church court In Allegheny
City, on a Mirtaln occasion appointed a
committee of nine to prepare a report on
secret societies, 44ight of the nine ho af
firmed were Alasous. They met at the
house of a Mason, prepared and in duo
time (this L'nited Presbyterian Masonic
Committee, save4mei, brought in strin
gent

,
resolutionikai t secret societies,
which were ado; the court, Auld.,
.sent - to the worldg e opinion of that,
Presbytkry. •
Many . of the inembers of the Trolled
Presbyterian Church here, knowing well.
that thesestatements were vile slanders,
secured the sertiices of the Rev. J. it.
,ki, mons ,of the above Presbytery to
„4 end the standards of the church, and
gn el these slanders in a public lecture.
i the appointed time Mr. T. gave a lee
ii • , and entered into an overwhelming
-...ir
t,„ , :louse of the position of the United
7 esbyterian Church, ana. emphatically
'e allenged and denounced as false Mead
scurrilous statements' of Mr. Dempsey.
At the close of the lecture Mr.. i'lm
mona tendered to Mr. Dempsey a chal
lenge to discuss at a time oonvenion; for
the parties, the subject of Masonry and
Odd Fellowship, with the privilege of
using the manuals of these orders as'au
thority. .
The state of affairs produced in the
minds of the Masons and some of Mr.
Dempsey's friends by Mr. 'Timmons' lec
ture is very well Mated in a letter writ
ten to prop up Mr. Dempsey's reputation
in the matter, by Rev. 'r. ii. Wilkinson,
of this place, to Rev. W. D. Stevens, of
Tarentum, both ministerial brethren of
Mr. Dempsey. The follbwing is an ex
tract: "Justice demands the admissiou
that many of the solid men in the'vom
munity thought that he made some
points against Masonry that it would be
difficult to meet."
"There) no question, but that Tim
mons at/31%d the community and the
Masons sent off again for Mr. Dempsey
to come and repair damiges."
In due time their champion glxe a se
cond lecture, and it was apparent to all
candid and observing minds that ho was
smarting and sore under the eastigatiant•
Mr. Timmons had given his beloved idol.
And to escape the consequences to which
he so shamefully exposed himself in the
church court atlair ho "err:it:fished" o t
of it by denying that he had said it was
U. P. Presbytery, and affirmed that
was a Methodist conference that had bee .
guilty of such base deceit and hypocris,..
Witll might Mr. 'Wilkinson say, as e
did in the letter referred to, to Mr. S •
ens : "If this :Oaten:mut be correct, lam
devoutedly sorry and heartily amod."
The intelligent and candid portion (tithe
audience, together with Mr. IVi/kinaos,
distinctly and plainly understood him to
say it was a United Presbyterian Church
court..
- -
Might we not pause and inquire what
kind of men compose M. E. conferences?
Are we to conclude from the foregoing
statement made by a presiding elder,
that a proportion of eight out of every
nine act as if they had more of the spirit
of Judas Iscariot than ,of that Savior
whom they profess to serve, and In
whose spirit there was neither guile nor
fraud ? 'To what conclusions must the
world come when assured by one who
has prefixed to his name the grave-title
of "Rev." and affixed to it the dignified
appellation of •'D. D." and who seems
very ambitious to be considered "as one
having authority," that Methodist min
isters tate and do so deliberately practice
deception and fraud.
Notwithstanding the declaration was
boldly made "in the place where prayer
is wont to be made,' in the face of a
large and intelligent audience by Mr.
Poinp.seyr yet in the spirit of charity,
we are disposed to unite our sympathies
with those in this community In consid
ering it from first to last a sheer islander
on the Methodiet Church, We do not
believe a thing so notoriously mean and
base could take place in the most cor
rupt church in the land. Especially,
too, in view of the curse God has pro
nounced on those who "do his work de
ceitfully," and especially on lying
prophets.
It was evident to all present that in
this lecture, Mr. Dempsey failed to give
satisfaction even to his most sanguine
friends and much less "repair the dam
ages" Mr. Timmons had done his cause.
At its close, however , , he gave a chal
lenge to discuss Mese secret orders as
well Ss' the shbjeet of psalmody, with
Mr. Timmons, and appointed Revs.
Wilkinson and Miller, both his ministe
rial brethren, a committee to arrange
preliminaries for a public discussion.
'rho uietubers of the congregation select-,
ed Rev._ S._ W. Clark, of the United
Presbyterian Church, on their part.
'rho joint committee met and unani
mously agreed on the following propo
sition for discussion: "Resolved, that
secret oath-bound societies, such as
Free Masons Odct Fellows, are
wrong," with the 'distinCt unideretand
big that the Manuals and Monitors of li
those orders would necessarily have to
be admitted as authority.
This proposition, as agreed to by his
own committee ho (Mr. D.) declined to
diadems ' but proposed another about
which there could be no controversy.
'With the expectation, however. that the
parties.f brought together might bo able
to agree u pen a statementof the questlen,
they were brought here on'the 18th day
April, when Mr. Timmons, through his
committe, informed Air. Dempsey that.

In calling public attention to thin little machine,
a few of the invuluable t not paattavaell by

here enumerated:
It is the smaties t, must compact, moat portable,
most simple in construction, most easily operated.
A child ten years old, with a few hours' practice,
can thoroughly comprehend and - effectually use
It. There is no adjusting. no screws to annoy, no
delay In adapting!. it le always ready for use !' It
hi a perfect little wonder! It Is a miniature giant,
doing more - work and of a better quality, Menthe
most elaborate and costly. One-half - of the labor
is fully saved by its use, not the clothes wilt last
one-half longer than, by the old plan of the rub
board. It will wash \silo largest blanket: Three

the ablution of any fabric, from a ellt.to n Lice
Curtain or Cambric Ilandkeichief, are .equally
within the capacity or MIS' LITTLS GEM! It qm

No matter how deep . rooted a u d ► ce uusy
let agutnst Washing Machines, the moment this
little machine Is seen to perform Its wonders, all
doubts of its cleansing; . efficacy and .ntirity are
banfrhed, and the doubter and detractor at once
become the fast . friends of the machine.
Wo have testimonials without end, setting forth
its ntimenics ivar.tageirover all others, and from
hundreds urhoatave thrown aside the unwidely,
useless mathlnes, Which have signlty• tailed to
accomplish the object promised in prominent and
loud sounding advertisements_
It is as perfect for washing as a wringer is for
wringing. The price another paramount induce
meet to purchasers, has been placed BO low that
it is within the reach of every, honsekeeper, and
there is no articieof domestic economy that will
repay the small investment so soon.
