Funeral Sermon Pre-sehed.— The funeral sermon of Dr. iSDi. Wlthe row, deceased, of North Sowle4cley tp., this county, was preached on . Sabbath day, December 3d, at the North' Sewick ly church by the Rev. William M. Tay lor of Westfield congregation, Lawrence county. The church' was densely crowded on the occasion. Dr. Witherow had been a Ruling Elder in the church above referred to, and the minister se lected to preach his funeral sermon Was his school mate twenty years before. 66 What I Know Ahqtal The above is the title of a work -now probably in contemplation by- Our, townsman, Col: M. a quay. B e h as been_moreuk,leas immersed int politics for a numher of years past, and it is gen erally understood in this vicinity that ho now regards hh4revions occupation as requiring more wear and teir of con science than a person of hi. yeais ought to endure, hence it itt, supposed-he has about made up his mind to gradually slide out of the political aretta i iked en gige in the more quiet, healthful and moral wrsult of improving the bovine stock of the country, and;as opportuni ties offer, to devote a portion of his time to mechanical and agricultural produc tions. Col. Quay is not the Best emi nent politician of this country who . has measurably retired from politics while . yet in the prime of life,. and giyen his attention to the cultivatloh of the soil, the rearing of stock or the disembowel ing of the earth. Horace Greely of the I4w York Tribune furnishes an ilinstri ous example of this assertion. Brother Quay should therefore be encouraged in his present determination by all of his immediate neighbors, and the kindly word 'should be extended to - him outside of his own county and State. Ile takes , hold of his new occupation hoivever, with commendable energy and tact, and we shall not be,surprised if success marks every step he takes in the new di rection. - -Thus fat' his most sanguine expectations have been more than -real ized. To demonstrate this it will only be necessary for us to give • few hay Some six weeks ago the Colonel pur chased a thorough-bred Alderney Cow in en at El Pa.!! the East—we believe from the herd of Gen. John A...llartranft of Montgomery county. The sum paid for the noble an- imal was $200.00. This we believe in eluded the transportation to the Union Depot at Pittsburgh. Now to show how thoroughly Col. Q. understands the bus h:Kiss in which he is engaging, and how considerate and humane he proves to be in it, it will be necessary to be a little particular as to what occurred in bring ing the wonderfully organized beast from that point to Beaver. After reach ing the Union Depot, the Colonel ordered a halt, and the cow was allowed to rest there for three days. At the expiration of this time he dispatched a trusty man with 812 in his pocket to bring her by easy travel to Beaver, and to telegraph progress from all convenient points along the route. Here are in substance the dispatches sent back and forth : COIL oT 7TEI AND . LIDERTY STS., 10:95, a. m. Cow is going finely, and is in good condition. COLONEL QUAlre REPLY "All right." Keep her on the pave ment surd. M. S. Q. tleol3 2w COB. OF STH AND LIBERTY,] 10:55 a. m. Cb/, 31. 8. Quay:—The cow is ev idently worried about something. In the last three rods she has switched her tail four times. What shall I do? COLONEL (WAY'S REPLY. Take her into the nearest saloon and give her a hot whisky punch. .If that don't help her give her another ''punch;" if this does not stop the switching take her to Hare's Hotel, and see that she gets six loaves of bread and two hams per day until further orders. Eight glasses of ale for every twenty four hours will be all the-drink she will need. • M. S./Q. A day or two after these telegrams passed to and fro it seems Col. Quay and his herdsman had a "little unpleasant ness,, ' and the latter was ordered to Beaver forthwith. ln due c9urso of time another herdsman was procured and Sent to Pittsburgh, and the sleek Alderney soon put in an appearance on our streets. Thus it will be seen that the Colonel spared neither time or ex pense in bringing his first thorough bred into oprislidst. The cow is a f i ne looking abut 2 feet four inches In height, weighs about 350' pounds green: 'it - data - 1g Ott te tie 1 33 ' , ARM' Old. She had a calf a few weeks before the, Colonel became her owner, and is there fore fresh at the present time. Her yieitl of milk is about two pints per day or onevpint at each milking. Just here, however, we tread on delicate ground, but onr duty as a faithful journalist will admit of no shirking, and we proceed to give facts Though they do take us quite near the Colonel's household. Major Richard Maloney, than whom a better hesrted young maul can hardly any where be found, had the immediate care of the cow for'some time, but Col. Quay not being satisfied with her lacteal flow, found fault with the Major's care of the animal and insisted upon a change in her feed. The Major had been giving her the very best of hay and the richest chop-feed that could be bought, while ,Col. QuiZy believed that for lacteal par-, poses nothing could equal coarse sand and saw dust mixed. The Colonel of course carried his point, and he now hes the sole care of the dazzling beatity him self. lie is quite confident that this change in her food will finally induce her to "letdown" sufficient for the whole neighborhood. We trust his anticipa tions will be realized. After giving the bovine species much thought, and making himself familiar with the whole subject, Col. quay is de cidedly of the opinion that the Chester Wtkites aro the best milkers, but at the same time he has no doubt but that the Cotswold and Merinos are far ahead of all others for beef. While the Colonel's ideas of stock at Ilrst,view seem a little bold and unique, they will prove, on a closer study, to be sound and of immense practical value to the stock raising com munity. His book, therefore, should be in the hands of every farmer and stock grower in the land. Its cost, we are persuaded, will be within the reach of all. As we have elsewhere hinted in Ibis article the Colonel is giving a small share of his attention to mechanical pro ductions. lie has Of late taken a lively interest in the manufacture of tire clay brick, and has accordingly embarked in their manufacture, but it seems his ideas and the ideas of his partners do not Re cord. They persist in believing that brick aro made of clay, while the Colonel as stoutly insists that they are manufac tured from wood cut while the sap is in the ascent. But on this point more anon. Trustee Meeting.—.l Nlf inel•t- Mg of the Hoard of Trustees of the Semi nary and Institute is desired for Thursday afternoon, at '2 o'clock, at the Seminary building. The proposed amendments h the charter and the plans for the addi tional buildings will then be considered. The Missing Found—A Lost Father Turns Up.—Our older citi zens will remember a good, but wild fellow, named John Wilson; who lived some twenty years ago in Fallowfield township. He *as a famous fox-hunter and was always on some wild chase, or up for "fun" in almost any shape—so much no that ho was familiarly known as "Devil John" by his friends. He was marrie ' a to a Miss Bendel, also of Fallowfield township, and lived with her until they were blessed with six children, who are now grown up, and are respectable people of this neighbor hood. But John got tired of his wife, babies, and foxes, and persuaded his wife to sell her property, got possession of the funds, and one night he skipped to parts unknown. His poor wife left with her family of little ones, and no money, was destitute indeed, and the infidility of her husband so wore upon her, wind. that she became crazed, and ended . lierds.ilt. in the insane department pf the County 'Alms House. So ended the first chapter in bilsWilaistory. Ricently, however, ivclrillclns from Indiaftapolis.

This matter has developed the facts satisfactorily, that there is a very strong attachment sub sisting between the pastor and people of the congregation referred to, and an unusual degree of unanimity of opposi tion on the part of the congregation -to any change of relatiunshipbetween them. The following is the text of the letter referrea to : To the Rer. J. It. Brittain, Pastor of the 1% P. Congregation, Greenville : DEAR PASTOR:—We, whose names are hereunto attached, members of the congregations to which you have so a.!- ceptabiy ministered hi word and ordi nance, and among whom you have so eiticientiv labored,for the past five years, having learned that our brethren in Christ of the U. P. Congregation of Cle veland, have unanimously invited you to become their pastor, and fearing lest our silence may be construed iuto indif ference concerning the matter. take this method of assuring you that we have beard with deep concern tbo announce ment above relhrred to, and that while recognizing the high compliment to our pastor contained in the above Invitation, we would most respectfully yet earn estly, protest against your aCeeptanco of the same. Among the reasons wo would urge in support of our protest may he named the gratifying fact that the rela tionship of pastor and people which has subsisted between us since you became our pastor, has evidently boon signally blessed by the Great llead of the Chureh. Our congregation has enjoyed under your acceptable ministrations a high degree of prosperity both spiritually and temporally, and feeling confident that the relation Ship, in the future, will be xUll more abundantly blessed, we would most seriously deprecate any thing with in human control which would tend to mar its harmony or threaten its sever ance. In addition to this we take pleasure in assuring you of our high regard for your e4timable wife, whose earnest piety, kindness of heart, and prudence of con duct, have greatly endeared her to your congregation. , Hoping that it may be found consist ent with the will of the Great Head of the church, and in harmony with your desire in the premises, after mature de liberation, to continue the relationship now subaiating between us, an .iyith assurances of the highest perso I re gard, wo remain, yours In the born l'of a Chritian fellowship. —As a further inducement the mem bers of Mr. Bnttain's congregation, do nated him between $4OOOl and Vren.oo on Thanksgiving Day. Rev. Brittain is a native of Beaver and a son of I ..t ph Brittain, esq., at present one of our l'ounty Commissioners.

When fiN crowd Were gone Ralph knew that one road was open to him. He could follow dowhlho creek tts (nif ty, and thence he ntbt escape. But, traveling down to (Aplty, be 'debated whether it was best to escape. To lice was to confess his guilty to make himself an outlaw, to put an . insurmountable barrier between himself and Hannah, whose terror-stricken And anxious face as she stood by the brook-willowslaun ted him now, and was :an involuntary witness to her love. Long before he reached (nifty his. mind was made up tilla flee another mile. He knocked at the door of Squire Underwood. But- Squire Underwood was also a doctor, and had been called away. Ho knocked ajtho door of Squire Doolittle. But Squire Doolittle had gone to Lewisburg. 'He was about to give up ail hope of being able to surren der himself to the law when ho Met Squire Hawkins, who had come over to clifty to avoid responsibility for the ill deeds of his neighbors which ho was powerless to prevent. "Is that you, Mr. ,Hartsoek ?" "Yes. and I want yon to'arrest me and try moo hero in Clifty." The "prosecuting attorney" (for so the States attorney is called in Indiana,) had been sent for Lim nlirht before. Ralph refused all legal help. It was not wise to reject counsel, but all his blood was up, and he deglar' that he would not be cleared by hegal nibbles. if his 11 innocence yore not ma e evident to ev erybOdy, he would rather not be acquit ted on a prell 'ninon_ examination.. Ile would go over to the Circuit court and have the 'matter sifted to the bottom. But he would havo - .l4ieu pleased had his uncle offered him counsel, though he would have declined it. He would have felt better to have had a letter from !mine somewhat different from the one ho 're ceived from his Aunt Matilda by. the hand of the prosecuting attorney. . It was not very encouraging or very Hybl pathetic, though it was very character istic. ( . . "Dear Ralph : "This is what I have always been afraid of. I warned•you faithfully the. last time I saw you. Ily skirts are clear of your blood. I can not eimsent •for uncle to appear as vont counsel or to - go your bail. . You know how much.

Whenever Aunt Matil da got to Ralph's poor, dead mother in her conversation, Ralph tan out of the house. And now that his poor, dead mother was again made to do service in his aunt's pious rhetoric, ho landed the letter on the hot coals before htin, and watched it vanish into smoke with grim satisfaction. Awiu, Ralph was a little afraid of a mob. But Clifty was better than Flat Creek, and Squire ElaWkilaS, with all his faults, loved justice, and had a profound res pect for the majesty of the law,and pro found respect for his own roajeatv when sitting as a court representing (he law. Whatever Maneuvers he might resort to in business affairs In order to avoid a conflict with his lawless ineighbors, -be was courageous and inflexible on the bench. The Squire was the better part of him. With the co-operation of the constable, he bad organized a poB3e o f men who could be depended on to en force tho law against a mob. By the Lime the trial opened in .tbe large school-house in cling at eleven o'clock, all the surroundingeountry bad emptied its population Into Clifty, and all Flat Creek was on band ready to tes tify to something.

" Did I over go Wi your daugb; terigirandal' " No, you didn't," answered the wit: ness, with a tone and a toss of the head that lot the cat out, and set the court room in a giggle. Bronson saw that he was gaining nothing, and now resolved to follow thu line which Small had Indi cated. - - Pete Jones was called, and swore point blank that he heard Ralph go out of the house soon after he went to bed, and that he heard him return at two lathe morn ing. This 'testimony was given without hesitation, and made a great impression against Ralph in the minds of the Jus tices. • Mrs.• Jones, a poor brow-beaten Woman, came, on the stand in a'fright ened way, and swore to the same lies as her hiisband., Ralph cross-questioned her, but her part had been wail learned. There seemed, now, little- hope for Ralph. But just at this moment, who should stride into the schooLhouse but Pearson, the one-legged; old soldier basket-maker. He had crept home the night before,l"•to see of *eel° woman didn't want. fiemethin';' -and • hearing of Ralph's arrest, he concluded the time for him "to moke a forrard movement" had come, and so be determined to face the foe. • . - "l...ooltylata r zi; I ar," ho said, wiping ..tha Perspira --, :,his brow, " I jest want to say .... t , , -, :lies mud) 'about 4 Le i t u s ' . ear, ••.:, .- - ' - oal & Btonsorr, who thoeght - htwoui. nail Ralph now, for certain. , i So, with many 'allusions to the time he lit at Lundy's Lane, and some indignant remarks about the pack of thieves that driv him off, and a passing tribute to Miss Martha Hawkins, and sundry oth er digressions, in w hich ho had to be checked, the-old man told how ho had drunk whisky at Welch's store that night, And how Wefeh's whisky was all-. tired mean,and how it alders went strait to his head, and how he'd got a little to() much, and how he'd felt kinder gin aout by the time he'd got to the blacksmith's shop, an' how he'd laid down to rest, an' how, as he s'posed, the boys had crated him, and how ho thought it were all-tir ed mean to crate a ole soldier who tit the Britishors, and lost his leg by one of the bionic critters a punchlit' his bagonet through it ; lint' how when ho woke up it was all-fired cold, and how lie rolled oil' the crate and went toward., home, and how when he got to the top of Mean 's 11E1 he met Pete Jones and Bill Jones, and a slim sort of a young man, a ridin'; and how ho know'd the Joneses by ther„, bosses, and some more things of that kyind about 'eni ; but ho didn't know the slim young man, though he tho't ho might tell him ef ho seed him agiu, kase ho -way VittS dressed up so slick and town like.

Had seed somebody that night a erossin' over the blue-grass paster;did n' t know who in thunder 't was-, but it was somebody "a mak In' straight fer l'ete . Junes'. 'Hadn't seed nobody else,.'cept in' ,Dr. Small, a short ways behind the JOneses. Ilan nah was now brought on the stand. She was greatly agitated, and answered with much reluctance. Lived at Mrs. Moans'; was eighteen in October; bad bent bound to Mrs. Means three years ago. Had walked home with Mr. hart sook that evening; and hapening to look out of the window toward morning she saw some one cross the pasture. Did not•lthoiv"who it was; thought it was Mr lltir*ok.• Here Mt. Bronson (evident ly- preinipted bye suggestion that came fretOctet-Dr. Small had heard when he ilskerre&Lirithebarti,) asked her if Mr. HArtsolnlPliadover said anything to her about thonfittor afterward.

'co him stiebever seemed so fair as when 1 tellitig.the...tr,uth so sublimely. Bronson,now informed the court that thla'little trick of having the old soldier happen, in, iu thunick of time, wouldn't savoitn. prisoner it the bar from the just,porilstanent which an outraged law ..viaftedamon such cranes as his. He re petted that his duty as a public prose - cutiir :eansed it to fall to his lot to mar efitil the evidence that was to blight tr.o prospects and blast the character, and .-annihilate forever so able and prom king Art young man, but that the law knew no difference between the educated and the unedueated,aud that for his Eart he tho't llartsbok a most dangerous foe to the peace of society. The evidence already . given fastened suspicion upon him. The prisoner had not y et been able to break its for - co at all. The prisoner had not even chtred to try to explain the reason for hisTbeieg out et mitts to a young la dy. lie would now conclude by giving the last touch to the dark evidence that would sink the once fair name of Ralph llartsciok in a hundred fathoms of infa my. lie would ask that Henry Banta be called. Ha V came forward sheivishly, and was sworn. Lived about a hundred yards from- the house that was robbed. Ho seerrole man Pearson and the master and one other feller that he didn't know come away from there together about one o'clock. Ho heord the bosses kick in' and went out to the stable to see about them. - He seed two men Como out of Schroder's back door and meet one man standing at the gate. When they got closter he kuowed Pearsori by his wood en leg and'the master 1.). his hat. On his cross-examination he Wass little con fused when asked why liehadul told of it before, but said that be; was afraid to say muc h, bekase the folic* was a talkin' els:Mt hangin' the masterviand ho didlitt wait no lynchin'. The prosecution here r ‘ sted, Bronson maintaining that there ivas enough evi dence to justify ltalph'W.l committal to await trial.

To anstver this question truly, would . attach ;to friendless Hannah Thomson some of 'the disgrace that now belonged to him. "Ldeeline to answer," said Ralph. "Of course, Dio not want the prisoner to criminatehimself," said Bronson sig nifiamtly. , During this last passage Bud had come in; but, to Ralph's dhappointmenti he remained near the door, talking to Wal ler Johnson, who had come with him. The magistrates p ut their heads together to fix- the amou t of bail; and, as they differed, talked pr some minutes. Sala! now for the firilt tithe thought best to make a moire in his own proper person, He could hardly have been afraid of Ralph's acquittal.

Ile rose, and asked the court in gentlest tones to hear him. He had no personal interest in this-trial, except his interest in the welfare of his old schoolmate, Mr. Hartsook. He was grieved and disap pointed to find the evidenceagainst him so damaging, and he would' not for the world add a feather to it, if itt,were not that his own name had been twice allud ed to by the defendant, and by hls friend and perhaps his confederate, John Pear son. He was pre pa red to swear that-he was not over in FU.t., Creek the- night of the robbery later than ten o'clock, and while the statements of the two persons alluded to, whether maliciously intend ed or not, could not implicate him at all, he thought perhaps this lack of veracity in their statements might be of weigld, in determining some other points.

Mr. Pearson was therefore arrest ed, and was heard to mutter something about a 'passel of thieves," when the court warned him to be quiet. Walter Johnson was then called.' But before giving his testimony, I must crave the reader's patience while I-go back to some things which happened nearly a week before, and which will serve to make It intelligible. (TO BE CONTINUED.) The new County Treasurer.— The County Treasurer elect, Charles. P. Wallace, eL.q.. moved to Beaver last week, preparatory to taking charge of the money bags of the county. He will be sworn into office on the ;Ist of Janua ry. His former residence for sometime past has been at Beaver Falls. [For 4 the Beaver Ararml Alfred Cocikmau.—ll is father,Rev. tieorge ti.

He was lost on the steamer President about thirty years ago, when all aboard were buried 'be neath the wages of the Atlantic, and never beard of any more. The son, just deceased, wasfor two years stationed in the Christ M. E. Church in Pittsburgh% and had gathered to himself the affection of those for Whom he labored, and of all who knew him. "The people heard him gladly." Be was converted to God in his tenth year, in Carlisle. He began to preach at an early ago. Admitted into Conference in 184 S, when only twenty one years of age,and died when forty-four years old. He had traveled two years under the Presiding Elder however, pri or to joining tho Philadelphia Confer ence. He tilled the pulpit in some of the most important churches in our con nection, as at Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Not,/ York, Wilmington, Delaware, and N ewark, New Jersey. He died as he lived, trusting the Saylor. Four weeks before he died he had preached his last sermon from these words, "We do all fade as a leaf." Holding up In his hand a withered leaf, as he was passing out of the house, he saidAo a brother, "I feel that the text and preacher are much alike; 'it may be my last testimony.'" He had a dream that his father, his eld est brother, and a boy they had lost, each met him, saying, "Here comes Al fred, all washed in the blood of the lamb." He said to his 'wife, "If permit ted, I will be your guitrdian angel, and open the gates of pearls for your admis sion." Ile said to his sister, "If I could have life for asking it, I would say to Jesus, 'Lo as thou pleasest.'" And, holding up with one hand, the other paralyzed , hand; be said, "It belonged to Jesus." His final words to his mother were, "I am tnor‘indebted to your prayers, and counsel, and example than aught beside, ,tc. When the chariot came, his last words were, "rm sweep ing through the gates,—washed in the blood of the lamb." At the foot of his coffin was placed, a cross of dowers, and at the head, a crown.

If thespring several elegant brick blocks, aro to be constructed—a new Opera House, Ma chine Shops, afcc. For some years this was the nearest railroad point to - the Oil Regions and it was not an uncommon thing in those days to see eight or ten thousands strangers in this town at a time when lodgings, even of a plain character, and room at the dinnertable, were at a premium, and lucky was the fellow who found a spot where he could draw his muddy boots and rest for the night. Those days have passed away and for ever, much no doubt to the joy or the residents of the town. Tice churches here are probably the beet of any town in Western Pennsylvania—the Metho dist is a very imposing structure, with lecture and class rooms in the first story and audience room above, while the Presbyterian has its lecture. , and audi ence rooms on the first - ficor.

The Pittsburghers declined to inscribe the name of Hayes on the monument, claiming the honor of having sent hfm for themselves—but nothing daunted when the monument came—the citizens had his name inscrib ed along with the other hundreds already upon the entablature of the monument. The Exchange Hotel is first-class and well conducted, and the traveler finds there a comfortable stopping place at not extravagant charges. Many portions of Venango county have learned of our quiet town of Beaver and its beautiful surroundings, through thef Seminary and Institute, which is so highly esteem ed wherever known. The musical ad vantages that are provided , There and especially the home-like character of the school, commend it to those who send abroad for educational purposes. Tho new Seminary Hall for boys is especi • ally appreciated by those who live where they cannot prepare their boys for busi ness or college at hoi4.
