MELLICK, P. M. Was Van Gilder Murdered ? Thursday the barber shop effects of Clarence Tobias, who moved to Philadelphia several months ago, were forwarded to C. E. Van Gil der, at Trevorton, says the Mt. Carmel Star. There was an inter esting story told by Mr. Van Gilder during his visit to town. It will be readily recalled how several months ago the story of Chief of Police Van Gilder's sudden death at his home in Danville startled the entire re gion. He was found dead on his bed with a bullet hole in his head. Suicide was at once suspected and this story generally credited. It will also be remembered that he had left the public market but a short time before, in apparently per fect health and no cause for the rash commission of the crime was ever unearthed though a "woman in the case'' was connected with it. C. E. Van Gilder was a brother to the dead police officer. He now tells that with the deceased brother's family, who never believed the suicide theory, he has been working on the rase and has succeeded in rounding up a num ber of important witnesses ; and the crime of murder will be charged home to an individual who is under surveil lance.—Sunbury Item.

"I wrote 'America,' " said Dr. Smith, in a voice somewhat highly pitched, and with a slight drawl, "when I was a theological student at Andover, during my last year there." It seemed a pleasant recollection, tor a smile crept over his countenance, and he settled deeper into his chair. "In February, 1832, I was poring over a German book of patriotic songs which Lowell Mason, of Boston, had sent me to translate, when I came upon one with a tune of great majesty. I hummed it over, and was struck with the ease with which the accompanying German words fell in to the music. I saw it was a patrio tic song, and while I was thinking of translating it I felt an impulse to write an American patriotic hymn. I reached my hand for a bit of waste paper, and, taking my quill pen, wrote the four verses in half an hour. "I sent it with some translations of the German songs to Lowell Mason, and the next I knew of it I was told it had been sung by the Sunday school children at Park Street Church Boston, at the following Fourth of July celebration. The house where I was living at the time was on the Andover turnpike, a little north of the seminary building. I have been in the house since I left it in Septem ber, 1832, but never went into my old room." This room in the Andover house is now visited by pilgrims from all over the world.— From an inter• view with Dr. Samuel Francis Smith in Dctnoresfs Magazine for July.
