Tin: Day vol' weih: Honx. Here is an in
fallible method of discovering the day of the
week em which any person was born, or the ilny
of the week 011 which a given day of the month
iny number of years previous occurred. To tho
number representing your ago in years at your
next birthday adil one-fourth for leap-years, this
amount divide by seven, and tho remainder,
counted back from tho day of the week 011 which
you wcro born. For instance, nt your next
biithday you will bo 21 years old, this divide
by !, and the quotient, fl, added to 21 gives .10
as tho amount, whicli divided hy 7, tho number
of days in a week, gives four weeks and a re
mainder of two days. Xow, if your birthday
this year comes 011 Monday, count back two
lays and you have the elay on which you were

Kline. This is the case in whicli the defen
dants' were indicted at la-t term for an aggra
vated aault upon Samuel Hngart. A jury was
illed 011 Monday afternoon. Counsel fur (Join-
monweallh aro J. M. Claik, di-trict attorney, C.
It. A W. J. liuckalew, A.O.& II. H. Smith i
K. H. Ikeler, Col. Frcco and ('. G. H.ukley for
tho defendants. W.J. liuckalew opened the
case fur the pru-e'oulion. The facts, as alle-ged,
are that on the 12th of November, 1S7.1, early
in tho morning, Samuel llogart was called into
the Kline hotel at Kohrsburg, and upon enter-
the door was thrown to the Hour, Peter
Kline holding him while F. M. Kliuo put tar
upon Ins lieail anil arms. Ytilliaiu JSogait
snore that he went in the hotel, attracted by tho
cries of his father, and saw tho defendants in
the act. Milton Hit, a clerk at 1 Hack's store-,
testified that F. M. Kline bought somu tar tho
night befoie the assault. A daughter of liogait
testified that sho saw' tho defendants from her
window on the opposite side of tho road, when
her father entered the hotel.
On Tuesday morning F. P. Ikeler, Ksip,
opened for tho defence. Ho stated that they
would prove that neither of tho defendants wcro
up at tho time the assault was committed, but
wcro with their wives. Several witnesses weio
called to prove that it was too dark at tho time
of the assault for any one to recognize iudividii
als across tho street. They then called tho wife
of Samuel llogart, to which the pro-eeution oh.
jected, and a lengthy discussion sprung up as to
the admissibility of a wife's testimony teiidin
to contradict what her husband had sworn to.
Tho Court niled that she was a competent wit
uess to piovo facts as sho knew them. Mrs, Ho-
gait said that sho nut llogart in the kitchen,
ami soon after two men camo in with blackened
faces, seized llogart and threw him 011 theiltior;
then sho ran out ami called Peter, who was 111
bed. She was positive neither of the men were
her brothers, Peter or b. M. Kline. The men
ran out tho kitchen door.
When the defence called the wife of one of
the defendants as a witness, the Court ruled that
sho was not a competent witness on any points
in tho ca-c.
Peter Kline was thin called, and testified that
on tho morning of tho occurrence ho was in bed
when his mother called him. Ho went down
and they told him some one had put tar on llo
gart. Thotir purchased by his brother was
used on a" hog whoso cars had been torn by a
dog, Norman Kline testified that ho stopped at
V, M, Kline's and called hint that inorn!ng,and
that ho was in bed at tho time of the occurrence.
Me-ssrs. Harkley and Ikeler nddiessed tho jury
011 behalf of thu defendants, and C. It. liuckalew
and A. C. Smith for tho prosecution. Tho
Court charged the jury in tho evening, and 011

dict of guilty of felonious assault.

men and plumbers may take heart, tho brilliant

during the day betokening tho advent of dilato
ry winter. Tho festival of Candlemas (or of the
Purification of tho Virgin) Li of very ancient
date, and Is still maintained ns a holy day In
Iho Catholic Church in many countries. Hut
In this country little attention Is paid to its cel
ebration, nnd, indeed, In this State it is known
as "Ground-hog's day," from n popular super
stition that that subterranean animal pays n
visit to the surface of tho earth on tho 2d of
February with as great regularity asllf bo kept
an almanac and a chronometer In ills bedroom,
the bowels of tho earth. "I tell yer I seen lilm,"
ejaculated with great positlveness a tall, slab
sided farmer, who was leaning ngaint tho mud
dy wheel of a produce-wagon standing outside
tho Market on tho street of that namo and
Twelfth. "I seen him with my own eyes."
Curious to ascertain what mystery the man had
discovered, tho writer, who chanced to bo pass
ing, camo to a halt, picked a turnip from a bas
ket near by, nnd began to inspect it unconcern
edly. "I was bringing my load o' truck hero
from hum down through Willet's wood, 'bout

doubting bucolic friend. "I nin't blind, I tell
yer I seen him an' Ills shadder and gosh thun
der, what's that?" Tho tin raof of the market,
canght by tho wind, camo sailing through the
air at this moment and cut short what evidently
promised to bo a very elaborate and learned
disquisition upon tho farmer's animated barom
eter, tho ground-hog, that, like tho snow-drop,
peeps up from its earthly homo nt Candlemas.
PANIC IN A THKATKU IN- CINCINNATI.
On February 6th, whllo the allegory of tho

and many injured. The following is an account

At this hour (nine p. m.) there aro many
i-oiillicling stories as to the origin of the panic
at ltolmison's Opera llou-e. The building was
filled from parquello to gallery with a elenc
crowd, who not only filled all of tho scats and
ai-lcs, but crowded the stairway, and hundreds
were outside seeking admission, lichiud tho
scenes were oOO school children, who were to

glare upon tho stage, and immediately a cry of

trieken and a rush was made for tho stairway.
Tho lower circle of the hou-e is but four steps
ilmve tho level of the street, but the steps are
narrow, and soon became blocked by the sing
ing crowd. Multitudes were pressing fur thu
ooiway, and in tho panic women and ebildieu
were ove-ithrown and trampled under foot by
tho crowd. The scene beggars description. An
alarm was rapidly spread thiorighoiit the city,
anil those who had wives or ebililien there hur
ried to their rescue. A few heroic men placed
themselves near the doorway and endeavored to
assure the people there was no elanger, and an

Itrooklyn, Feb. fl. Henry C. Rowcn
broke kilonco yesterday in regard to tho
lleccher scandal, and in a letter to tho Ex
amining Committee of Ply mouth Church, ac
cused -Mr. Ileechcrof adultory, perjury, and
hypocrisy. Ho alleged that friends of his
long beforo Mr. Ttlton niado his charges
confided to hiin that Mr. Rcecher had dis
honored their homes, and whilo he declared
that ho would nut allow the names of theso
friends to bo disclosed to the world, ho was
reaely to testify to tho essential facts beforo
a proper tribunal. 1 no l-.xanimiug uom
niittco summoned Mr. Rowcn to appear be
foro them next week to niakd good his char
ges. In his conclusion ilowen says :
Witli this brief rcferenco to matters which
have had an influence in forming my judg
ment, I will now hasten to tell you frankly
what aro my conclusions in regard to the
paitor of Plymouth Church. I have known
-Mr. lleccher quite intimately sinco tho day
of his arrival in Itrooklyn. I have been
acquainted with him socially nnd privntoly,
in tho church and in tho family, in business
matters and in religious matters. I liavo
heard attentively but witli profound grief
what has been said to mo coitlidentally
gainst him, Iliavo felt iny heart stirred to its
depths for dear friends who, years before tho
prc-cnt senudnl was published, sorrowfully
begged my counsels as they assured 1110 their
pastor nnd initio had craftily betrayed tho
mmctity of homo tho very charge long after
presented to 1110 by Theodora Tilton in re
gard to his own homo, I never can or will
bo baso enough to allow a siuglo namo to
bu bruited beforo tho world, although I am
to testify to tho essential facts before any
proper tribunal, ThcsodUclostircsI heard
with a sad heart, nnd tried to accept tho
evidence brought to 1110 that Mr. lleccher
was gricf-btrcken and penitent.
"Now, being summoned here to speak and
to speak tho truth, tho whole truth and noth
ing but tho truth, I solemnly give it my
unwavering opinion, in view of nil tho facts
ami evidence presented to me, that tlie ltov,
Henry Ward Rcecher, without even tho
shadow of doubt in my iniiid, is guilty of
tho awful crimes of adultery, perjury nnd
hypocrisy, This, I say again and beluiotho
bar of this committee, is my dclihcrato
opinion that I may bo permitted to nlllriti
lhat I give it calmly, without malice, and
with no other than n, sinecio desire, to do
my duty faithfully to God and to man, to
lln ililirrli mil! ti flue w.irl.l "
Till', STATK CAl'ITOl,,
llAlllilsiiUlio, Feb. 8, 1870,
Hinco I last wroto you tho Lcgislnturo has
been continuing nlinost uninterruptedly In
tho easy grooves of routlno work, grinding
out a mass of crtnlo legislation which It will
require many long days to digest. One con
summation of tho past week ha, been tho
perfecting of tho onco seemingly Intermina
ble financo bill, Tho report of tho confer
ence coinmltto which was nppointed on Fri
day last to adjust tho differences of views en
tertained by tho two Houses of tho Legisla
ture as to the proper management of tho fi
nances of tho Stato was adopted this morn
ing in tho Houso by a voto of 1C2 yeas to 10
nays, tho largest voto cast by that body 011
any measure during tho present session,
which fact lu itself Is indicative of tho Inter
est felt in tho bill. Tho Scnato will shortly,
to-morrow possibly, tako tho eamo action on
the bill that tho Houso did, nnd 110 tlmo
will bo lost In obtaining for It the guberna
torial signature.
It was amusing to notico this nftcrnoon
tho raid of tho hnlf-famlslied members upon
tho Stato Treasury when It was announced
that tho Stato Treasurer, satisfied with the
morning's work of tho House, was ready to
pay Installments on tho salaries of tho mem
bers. Tho doors of tho Treasury having
been opened at last, tho remaining days of
tlie session bid fair to bo far moro lively, in
n social poiut of view, than Us past days
have been.
As ngrcetl upon by tho confcrcnco com
mttte, tho financo bill is substantially tho
same as passed by tho Senate. Strang's
amendment is attached to it, and no stronger
provision than that countenanced by tlie
Senate has been incorporated in it. As n
sort of gentle "let down" to tho Democrats
of tho House, lu tho cl.iuso requiring tho
Stato Treasurer to make statements of tho
"interest" ho receives for tho tiso of tho
money, tho conference committee added also
tho words "or other consideration." The
bill would have been just as strong without
these words if the Houso only thought so.
Tho bill providing for the cutting down of
1110 salaries ol nil tlio oluccrs anil em
ployees of tlio Scnato and Houso of Rep
resentatives, tlio passago of which was In
tended to coin a largo amount of political
capital for tlio economical member from Al
legheny, Mr. Hayeii, and tho no less econ
omical but rather moro buucombe-loviuc
Wise, of Greene, lias come to grief in tho
House, and has been consigned to a lat
resting placo by 11 vote of the Huno against
it, and by tho unfeeling conduct of Mr.
Chiisty, of Allegheny, in moving, after its
defeat, to reconsider.whicli mntion.of course,
did not prevail, but extinguished entirely
tlio last tlickcring spark of vitality left in
this Wise bill.
The Hotbo has passed finally tho follow
ing acts.
Allowing plaintiffs for damages and mesne
profits alter decimation tiled, to obtain 011
trial damages and 1111-110 profits prior to tho
filing of the declaration.
Al-o, empowering e-anip-mceliiig associa
tions to employ a police force.
Mao, providing for tlie entry of satisfac
tion of judgments whieth have) been fully
paid by tlio defendants.
Among the bills which have lately passed
tho Senate finally we note tlio following:
Conferring equity iurisdicthm upon the
Courts of Common Pleas in all cases of the
mortgages nl the property and franchises by
railroad, canal or navigation companies.
Regulating tho pasengcrs fare and freight
rates on railroads not exceeding fifteen miles
in length
Kimbling citizens of tho United States to
hold ami convey title which had been held
by aliens and corporations not authorized by
law to hold the same.
Authorizing Courts to make orders and
decrees relative to burial grounds and ceme
teries in incorporated boroughs.
Tho act for tho prevention of horses,
cattle, sheep and swine running at largo in
the yaiiotts townships of the Commonwealth
when a majority of tlio voters shall bo decide
was defeated, as bills of liko import have
been in years gone by.
State Superintendent Wickcrshnm is mak
ing extensive preparation for a display of tho
Common School interests of the Stato at the
approaching Centennial Kxhibitiou. An
appropriation of $1(5,000 for tho erection of
a suitable building for this purpose is asked
of the Legislature. The hill providing for
its appropriation has passed tho Centennial
Committee unanimously, and tlio amount
desired will very likely bo granted. That
amount, however, will not bo sufficient
to erect the building, which is expected to
cost $23,00. Tlio Stato Superintendent is
therefore about to issue circulars to the City
and County Superintendents of tho State,
tho Colleges, Normal Schools, &c, asking
for contributions for this purpose. It is in
tended to mako this phase of tho exhibition
a perfect success. Among tho features of tlio
proposed display will bo a primary school
in full working order. Tho other Centen
nial appropriations asked ato in statu quo,
