interred iu Penningtonville, Chester county,
on Saturday afternoon last. A very large
concourse followed them to the tomb, one
and all of whom dropped a tear to the memo
ry of one universally beloved and esteemed.
We understand that it is not the intention
of Mrs. Edie to live in our midst longer than
is necessary to close out her domestic ar
rangements, when she will return to tbe
home of her parents.

.'.Considerable exci'temcnt was created
this week by the unaccountable disappear
ance on Monday evening last, of Constable
I atrick A. Tmrns, of (Jallitr.in borough, and
fears of a niishnp if not foul play In-gan to
take possession of many minls. All these
fears, however, have Wen fortunately al
layed by the receipt of a letter from him to
his wife, containing the welcome tidings that
he was In Fort Wayne, Ind., and if ,h did
not return on Saturday next he! would write
again.. It is now feared that he was some
what 'deniouttd.
...The extremely hot weather which had
prevailed for a couple of weeks was brought
to a termination on Tuesday by a rain-f torni,
with the additional beneficial effect of lay
ing the dust, whirli had arrived at the depth
that it had liecome dangerous to allow small
children to attempt to cross the streets.
Enough rain did not fall to raise the waters,
which are lower than ever before known,
but the equinoctial storm is now rapidly ap
proaching, and thvn, as the weather sage of
the Illackluk wont to cay, there will
likely bo no more complaints on that score.
The festival of the Kbensburg ileef
Cornet Hand, which opened on Tuesday
evening and closed on Haturdav evening of
last week, netteU the sum of $107 an amount
not sntlicient to secure the accomplishment
of their praiseworthy ambition, the employ
ment of a first -class teacher, but a pum for
which they are none the less thankful t a
generous public, and especially to the ladies,
young aud middle-aged, who did so much to
make the festival attractive and successful.
A picnic in aid of Ml. Gallitzin Semina
ry and schools is to lie held in this place on
Wednesday next, aad as the preliminaries
are iu the hands of ladies and gentlemen
whrt knot Hill well how to provl'ie for such
emergencies, the proponed festivity cannot
fail to prove otio of the most attractive and
enjoyable of the season. More than that,
the good Sisters of St. Joseph, who are hav
ing an extensive addition rtlitde to their fine
buildings in this place, very much need and
certainly very much deserve a lenefit of this
kind. All therefore who wish them well
should avail themselves of this opportunity
to make their cowl wishes bear good fruit.
B.v thoir works ye shall know them."
A new Ward has just baen added to Al
toona, not of that kind, however, which de
mands Klitical recognition and "idchliVe,"
but a nirrhlier of the Ward fainllv ri he

who has gone hither to take a hand with his

a strong business team. Kith being Well cal

such we commend the new firm to the pa

...The Clearfield ferWWe says that 'frffln?
tbe recent nession of the (ilen Hoe camp
meeting, in that county, a politician assum
ed the role of hackmau aud took a load of
friends out on a free drive. The rest of tlm
story is thus told : "After getting far, far
from home, he lauded the party at a pleas
ant farm house, shook hands around tho
ring, patted the dog on the head, stroked the
cat's hack, and condesceiidud to crforiji
those little courtesies of life that win men's
hearts just before the elections. It is not
necessarv to rerieat the lanriiao nf our
! friend, nor idiaM we describe his fVMnx
when he learned that Lis liberality had been
wanted on the good people of Cambria coun
ty. Alxnit two hours after a roan of his
complexion was Inquiring for the Clearfield
county line."
If our County Commissioner rii Poor
Directors had not had the advice of cottni
and the action of all who preceded them to
shape their course by, and if the work for
which they charged extra was not as well
done and at less expense, as Judge Dean
took occasion to remark, than it could pos
sibly have been done by outsiders, whom tho
Commissioners at least hare the right to erfi
ploy, the startling head lines in tbe Johns
town Trihtint about Iemocratic office-holders
attempting to bleed the county by put
ting in bills to which they were not entitled,
would possibly mean something besides a
very insignificant attempt to nYj'ke political
capita. When the county gains instead of
loses in a transaction, and when the suffer
ing poor receive that, prompt attention which
crnerueMcferf often demand, and which they
may possibly look for in rain hereafter,' we
fSil to' understand the difference lietween
paying county oflfcials or paying other peo
ple for nch services, tbe" law to the contra
ry notwithstanding.

Picnic of Iiik AiiTtWNA Firemen. In
accordance with programme, the Altoona
(Pa. IS. 14.) Steam Fire Kugine Company
arrived bore jor special tram of six cars,
on Saturday lat,ftb(iH 8 o'clock a, ia., with
the avowed intention of taking as much en
joyment out of a basket picnic as could be
conveniently crowded iuto eight hours (not
hop time. They numbered 73 members
out of a total of 104, (the full complement
of the company,) and were accompanied by
that splendid musical orgauizatien, the Al
toona Cornet Baud, as well aa many of them
by their wives aud children and others by
their sweethearts and lady friends., Thev
were met at the railroad crossing at tli eat
end of town by the Dauntless Fire Company,
of this place, preceded by the Silver Corne't
Hand, where the two companies formed iu
procession, the Altoona fire company in the
advance, and marched up High street with
bauds playing and flags flying, tlionc coun
termarching along High street from Julirtii
to Centre, down which latter street they
pursued their way to the fine grove near tho
depot, the parade thrcuglrout being the finest
ever witnessed in our midst.- At the Jjrove
proper nrrangetneuts had been made for the
eujoyment of all, a dancing platform aud
numerous swings being prom inert among
the accommodations provided for that ftrr
!se. It would nf course lie like painting
the lily to attempt to describe in detail so
pleasant a picnic -STtfrVce it to say that
what with tripping the light fantastic, sing
tng, romping, and throwing dull care to the
winds generally, the hour for departure
came all too soon. As to the more practical
part of the entertalnmirt,' namely, the vari
ous spreads, which were free to all who saw
fit to participate, Vrithout money and with
out price, they were simply perfection Tho
daintiest of viands and the choicest substan
tial were there in great profusion, with ex
cellent coffee and tea, crownred and sugared
wlren desired, to waalf them down. In this
connection tt may be proper to say that it
was the desire of tho visiting firemen that
th citizens of Etoensburg generally, nd the
ladies particularly; should be present and
partake of their hospitality,: brrt through
some inadvertance tiro invitation was not
tendered, and for that reason, and that rea
rtm atOTre, onr people were not largely repre
sented on th'e occasion, albeit there was ap
parently a sufficiency provided to feed a mnl
titude. Among the leading Spirits who did sO
ninch to make this delightful excursion and
picnic what it really was, a complete suc
cess, we were glad to meet and form the ac
quaintance of such wble-souleu" gentlemen
as Messrs. A. Kipplo, W. A. Adam, N. F.

of like ilk, not forgetting as among th'e most
honored guests Mr. Win. J. Kennedy, fore

And Their Grievances. As tho Moun
tain City Base Ball Club of Altoon saw fit
on their return home to express dissatisfac
tieu with the treatment vouchsafed tfiem
while on a visit to this prlaco on Saturday
last, permitting if not authorizing the asser
tion through the Tribune tmft they "didn't
form a very exalted opinion of the Ebers
burgers, and think their method of treating
strangers ralgbt be nrrrch improved," we
have neen requested to' make a statement
explanatory of the conduct of the gentlemen'
who trinst ha"ve given cause for offence, ad
mitting' sorb fac to have had an existence,'
which they most eiuptiatically deny
In the first place, tbertin ordr to Set all
things right, it is propter to say that it Was
not the Mountaineers who' Contested the
game with the Altoona club, no such organ-"
ixation (Mountaineers being now in exist
ence, but simply a picked nine of amateurs,
bronghi together without any previous prac
tice as a club and without auy serious ex
pectation of being successful. Secondly, in'
answer to one nf the verbal coniplaVnts made
by the visiting club, we have been requested
to say that it was til presumption of those
interested, all or nearly all of whom'are con
nected with the fire department hufe,- that
the mem tiers of the Mountain CitClnb were
also members of the Altoona fire company,
otherwise the challenge would not have been
accepted, aud that the reception of one or
ganization wonld be the reception of loth.
Thirdly, that the visiting clnb was request
ed by onr worthy Burgess, D. n. Kinkead,
one of the picked nine, to remain at their
hotel until his return from dinner, when'
tbey wonld be escorted to the ball ground

The TirRNs-PATTOx Hon irillR (TABU!
Judye Dean's Charge. As per our prom i so
of last week, we publish herewith the charge
of his Honor Judge Desln in the case of the
Commonwealth rcr.v Patrick A. Burns, in- i
dieted for killing Mauus Patton at Tnunel j
Hill on the i5th day of Jnne last.
The Judge, after defining the crimes of.
murder and manslaughter, and stating the
evidence necessary to prove either, (which '
portion of the charge wonld be of ne partic
ular interest, to onr readers,) proceeded to '
instruct the jury on the facts of the case on !
trial, follows :
To be either mnrder or munnlsmrhlnr tVi
Commonwealth must prove a killinir by vlo-
unvniiupii "iiiflniui itioinic- ; out incrv pun
reinniusa killinji. which though by violence is
neither murder nor manslaughter, because it
larks the element of nilnu-u(. This is Justifl
ntilw homicide.
Whore hn efflcer stteropM to arrest nno
cither convicted of or charired with a folonv,
isnd the relon floe, and the officer to prevci.t
bis escapo kills him. it is justifiable homicide
in tbeofiicer. But, notice, it must bo to pre
vent escape; If the relon in any crit'o Can be
taken without the killing-, it is not Justifiable
on the parrot the officer, but is at least uiau
Slauirliter. ,
From tho imperative necessity of the case
alone the law justifies the killina of bo charg
ed with crime rising- to the jrrad'- of felony.
It Is otherwise where the party killed is charired
only with a misdemeanor. In such case the of
ficer dare not kill even to prevent an escape.
Of two evils the law seeks to choose the luast.
When it comes down to a question whether it
is better that one charjred witha Diisderrfcunor,
such as assault and battery or fornication,
shall be killed or escape, the law says he sha'l
escape. Hut when it is a question whether one
charired with a felony murder, attempt to
kill, rape, arson, or burirlary shall be killed
or escape, the law says he shall be killed ; and
in preventing- what would otherwise he an es
cape of the felon, the officer is justified In kill
inir. You will now Hfrn your attention to the evi
dence adduced on the one side or the other in
this ease. It-appears that one Manns T'attot., a
younir man not over twenty-five years of age,
a resident of (iallit.in, was charged on oath of
bfie IT. J. Burk. on the 2!rd of" October last,
with havinsr.on thenight or the21stof October,
made an assault upon him (llurkl with intent
to kill. From the information it npp'ri he
fired a pistol at Iturk when a few feet from
mm, the ball entering the side or the door near
Iturk 's head. On this inrormntion a warrant
ror Patton was issued to the constable or Onl
lil.irv. who returned the warrant Vnot round."
The Justice returned the proceedings into this
Court at December Sessions following, and a
"true bill" was found Rgninst I'alton by tho
fli and Jury on 2nd of December last. On this
finding two separate writs fir the arrest of
Patton were issued out of thii Court ami placed
In the hands of thb Sheriff, each of which was
returned "not found.". On the 13th ofy one last
a third writ was Issued Pr his arrest and placed
in the Sheriff's hands. The Sheriff in writing
on the back deputed Patrick A.;Hurns, consta
ble or Gallitzin, this defendant, to execute it.
The writ was handed to Burns about 6 o'clock
p. rri; of Sunday, the 14th. On the evening of
the Ifith. between 8 arid 9 o'clock. Burns, in
company with Michael Vi tzharris. started from
Gallitzin towards what Is called the "Fair
House," a building about 600 yards from the
town, where they had reason to believe they
would finl Pattern for the purpose or arrest
ing hhii. (til approaching the place they dis
covered Patton with some fifteen br twenty
companions. Patton was standing up at the
time, and seems to have seen them as goon as
tboy sn w him. A companion or Tatton, Joseph
Murphy, called to him, "There is your man
coming, Manus," Burns was then approach
ing trotn an easterly direction. Pattou started
to run south along a renco which led to the
bead of a lane. Tyrns started to run to inter
cept him. and wo.ifd have j-etithed the lane
first, both however runninir to tl.'c same point
from somewhat different directions. Patton.
when he could not reach the lane, turned and
waa about getting over the fence, indeed was
on it. when Bifrns tired a sliot. About this
time, or immediately before, he had called to
Pntton, "Stop, Manir. you are too late now."
When ho fired the first shot, he was from for.
to fifteen yards rrom Patton. Patton. after t he
shot, either jumped off the lence or fell off into
the field, and then jumped upand continued to
run across It. Burns climbed th fence and
f nrsue.l. One or two state that they noticed
att.in's speed ftiminishd after tho shot, that
he s(?cme.f crippled T others testify that they
did not notice uuyf lunj or the kind. At about
twenty-five yards rrom him, Dtfrns. while still
pursuing, fired tho second shot. Patton con
tinued on across the field, and was ir. the act of
climbing the second fence when Burns tired
the third shot. Patton fell down just outside
or this fence ami died in a few minutes. It is
not denied that he died from the wounds In
flicted bv Burns. An examination of his body
by llr. Deverefinx shownd two bullet wounds
one entering from behind1. Immediately be
low the shoulder blade, and passing upward
and inwards to the Cavily of the chest; the
large arferios being severed by this ball, and
death certain from it In a very few minutes.
The other ball entered the right leg from be
hind, immediately above the knee Joint, and
lode-ed in the bone-- It was not necessarily
fatal, though of itseir would have resulted
family without prompt surgical attf ntion.
The testitnonvi'howsthat Patton knew Poms
had a warrant for his arrest, and doubtless be
know thn constable's errnnd . that evening;
knew that he Was approaching to arrest him.
Burns then wr.'s fin officer, ami wa there Tor
the purpose or performing a lawrnl duty. The
evidence shows that Patton whs charged witli
a Telony, and although not yet tried and round
guilty, he must be regarded by theoffict-rs con
cerned in the proceedings preliminary to his
arrest and trial asa felon. A3 has iicerf ars-ifd
bv the ' Comntoiiwetrth, ' he must ho presumed
innocent until his guilt is proven, but thr
magistrate before whom the complaint w
made must assume for the time beinjr that the
complaint waa true, and the officer In executing-
the warrant of arrest must assume that It
was truly charged a felony- The magistrate
could not assume ho was innocent am? fernse
to issue the warrant, norcouM tire cotistable go
assume and neglect to execute tt. So rr as
the performance of their duties, then, was con
cerned, Pattorr was a felon, and at the time
Burns attempted to make the arrest he was an
officer attempting to perform a lawful duty
Did he perform it in a lawful manner? fC
your answer to this question depends the guilt
or innocence or .Burn. If you answer yes!
then ho committed justifiable homicide, and
must be acquitted ; ff you answer no! then he
is guilty of unlawful Killing, which is at least
manslaughter.
Hums beiiitf an rTP-eor with a warrant or ar
rest for Patton. a felon, the officer had a ifjrht
to f hoot down tho felon to prevent his escape.
If he culd not otherwise overtake him or stop
his Bight This Is the law.' White tho life of
thecitiy.cn t"rT high value, there is one thing
which the law esteems of higher value, and
that ia tho supremacy of. ?he law itself. Shall
relons murderers, ravishers. burglars -escape
pnnfshnrent with impunity? When fleet of
fo-vt. 6l.a!l thev laugh at and treat with con
tempt the oflicers, the wrrts or the pet. pie, tho
commonwealth? No government, least o nil
ours, which depend ror its existence on the
obedience anl respect or the citizen to and for
the law which he himself has assisted in mak
ing, can afford to thus hr.ve its officers ah d writs
evaded. And the law says to the officer, if you
cannot ot herwiso arrest the felon when he at
tempts to ftnfp.pe, yon hnll kill him.
Whore, however, tr killing by violence on the
pnrtof the officer is shown, the burden of proof
is on the officer to show that it v.-asyustitlahle.
He (Burns) must show in this case to your sat
isfaction that he could not have prevented Die
escape of Patton in any other wa- than by
filing h-rs pistol.
It is lifted on part pf the defence that tMein
etTcct,nai'pttempt on part of the constabl to
arrest Puffon on the n'rst warrant issued by tire
Justice the failure to' take hjm on the two,
previous writs issued oiH of this Court the
absence of Patton for months fi'ciji. his resi
dencehis declaration' to Patrick rtith that
he cou Id outrun Burns, and didn't thinlc Hums
would shoot and tho fact that Patton Was an
athletic young man all show that Patton bad
been evading the officers and" avoiding arrest
by successful flight, and" that ha intended toes
cape from this fourth writ in Burns'' hands in
the sau:'e way that he was entirely able to do
as he threatened, outrun Burns.
It is further urjrtd, that ra soon as be s-rw

raining on the officer. . ..
IT throe shots were flref. What two of thcin,
hit Is nof clear" from' the evidence. From' thtt
course taken by the call:. which entered tho,
sTiouldcr, tt wouVd f near to' have been fired
when Patton was crossing either the first or sec
ond fence it penetrated the tody upwards and
inVards. indicating that Patton was in a stoop
ing position when it was flred. The defendant
urges that as this was necessarily a speedily fa
tal shot. It could not have been the first, and as
neither of the other shots had the effect, so fur
as Burns saw, of arrestinc Patten's flight or di
minishing his speed, he was Justified in firing
the third shot, as Patton was gaining on him
and must soon have reached shcltea or a place
of concealment. Was It necessary to tire the
pistol to prevent Pat ton's escape? ;lf Burns had
riot fired would Patton have escaped? H lie
would have escaped then tbe officer was Justi
fied in firm?: Or had Burns rood reason to l
lieve, la view of the circumstances then exist
ing, and did he believe, that the shots were ne
cessary to prevent the escape? It may appear
to you now after ample time for cool investi
gation, abund.int opportunity to ascertain ell
the facts, that Pat'?on was wounded by the first
shot, which was not rr.tr, and that thus disa
bled tho officer before I., tig could have overta
ken him. thus rendering tbe last or fatal shot
i unnecessary. But did it so appear to the nffl
' eerat thet'.me? You are to viiw the facts as
: they then appeared to Mm the fhemr crimi
nal, tliJ darkness, the activity of Patiou. the
strength and capacity of the officer as known !
to bimseir. the tact that bo innv not have oh- I
served that the first shot struck Patton. if it 1
did strike him. Had he reason to believe, and 1
did ho believe, that the shooting was necessary !
as the lacts then appeared to him? IT so, be
was justified In firing the pistol, altho' It may j
now turnout that tao blot and fatal shot waa ;
not necessary. .
The Commonwealth claims that the defend-
ant exceeded his authority that he used vio- i
lent means to effect an arrest which could have i
been made without. It noLCltUmed that the i
killing wa$ malicious, but only that it was -in- j
lawru!, and therefore that defendant is guiltv j
of manslaughter. It is urged, that when Burns ,
approached Patton, he was 80 yards distant .
when Patton saw him and started to run ; yet
that when Patton Jumped the fence they were
only rrom four to eiht yards apart- Burns
having gairte'J on Patton twenty to t went v-fire
yards thus showing that Burns could outrun
I'attoTi. The defendant claims thai Burns,
whtn making tor tiie head cr the lane, had a
Shorter distance to run Ihnn Perron. Von will
see this draft of the ground und determine this I
The Commonwealth further urges, that the
first shot struck Patton and disabled bim-that
he rell rrom the fence into the field that Burns
raw this and ceased pursuit that only when
Patton Jumped up and ran the second time did
Bums follow-that he could have caught him
bad he- ft, 'lowed immediately after the first
shot that a sot hers taw that thlsehot had dis
abled Patton, Burns, being tienrer, must also
have seen it, and therefore have known nnv
further shots were unnecessary : yet, not with
standing, he fired t wo more shots, onoof which
caused ihe death, and therefore this ratal anot,
leing unnecessary, was unlawful. II BurnV
first shot disabled Patton, and rendered h!s
capture probable, the second shot, if that was
the ratal ouc, was nnla wful. His arrest wnsaM
that was sought, and the iotence necessary to
accojrMish that is all that is ji!.tinh:e, A
single injury inflicted either througn wttel or
caution, recklessness, or malice, on the part or
the officer, was iinUwrul, and he cannot go
clear, and be. outflit to be punished. But to
.md the fact that the Int shot was not neces
sary, ir any shots were nwiwnrr, vou riiust find
tho two facts, li.at Ihe first shot disabled Pat
ton. ai.d that Burns knew It hnd disabled birn.
as wo nave nlreadv stated, some Of the wit
nesses for the CoiritT,onwcr.!th testified that
Patton fell from the fence whtn the first shot
was tired, and baited in bis gait afterwards.
The defendant denies .that the first shot had
any effect, if It alrnc Patton at mil, hud he
further alleges that if there whs any change in
his speed, or he was cripplei, he (Hurnb! did not
observe it.
It is foryr.it to determine these disputed facts.
If ho could have been there arrested without
firing the pistol at all; or if he could have been
arrested without firing tho tail! which Inflicted
the mortal wound, the killing was un'awful,
and the defendant Is guilty of raanflavjthter at
least.
If j-ou have a reasonable doubt as to the
guilt or the defendant, he is entitled to the
benefit or that doubt. He has called a large
number of respectable citizerts, most of whom
have known him from bis youth up. They tes
tify that bis character for peace and good or
der durih'g all that time has been of the best,
iris tdunscl argue that in view of the evidence
here, tt is extremely improbable that a man of
peace, one who all his life has been averso to
violence, has shrunk from Injury to his fellows,
woui.l in this instance either carelessly, reck
lessly, or unlawfully fire a pistol. This Is an
argument which may tie fairly addressed to
J on. You will consider it and give to the evi
dence on good character such wleght as It
ought to have in making up your vcruict.
Standing hy itseir, good. character would not be
sufficient to acquit ; in view of tho evidence in
the case, it may establish to your satisfaction
innocence.
Consider alj.the evidence carefully .and an
swer, was th'. killing unfawful? H .ff-f-"' then
fhe defendant is ruilty of manslaughter; and
you must so find without regard to tho conso
rtuences. If no, the defendant committed Jiis
tifiablw homicide and roust be found not guilty.

Fintn McPikk As you are a warn, I was
"out cm a fly" last week, and during my ram

either aeon or read descriptions of this famoua

Soon after my footsteps ceased to resound on
Boss Shcphar.i's pavements, my face turned at
the time' fn the difpetion of Alexandria. Va.,
I came ti what is k.sown as th "Iong Bridge"
across ten Potomac, from which can be plainly

37,OUU rnhatiitants, including negroes, who are
very nu'meous. There is a tolerably Hue har
bor here. bi?t the docks are in a miserable con

the line of Orang-eand Manass.is It. K., is a vcry
largc and handsome cemetery, within tho con
fines of which many Northern tblcPtrS found
their last earthly resting places.
After proceeding some fen miles further
along the O. R. M.. it. It., we began to get some
idea of the tef riClc rtrana which was enacted
here flfiring- the dark days of the rebellion.

The next stopping place is Burk's station,
where there is another cemetery for Colon sol

and on to Manassas, desolation still prevails no

Is also to be seen. At each entrancy to this

Mr. F.piTon In the report of criminal trials
in the Fkkkuan of the lllb inst. occurs this ac
count ot one or them :
"Coiii'th vs. Josl W. Oallftiier asatf!t and bat
tery, with intent to commit rape; Elizabeth
Oankst. prosecutrix. This was one or the mn
lisiyustintf ca.ies ever bronht to trial, but. alas
for fallen hnmAnify, there Were ohe proont to
distrust, at least coiio amnn? tho spectators. Tho
state of morals In a Certain part of White, town
lnp. If tli if cast) is to' t-c tatc-n as a criterion. In' at
a very low iMi indeed."
All that we know of this cae Is simply what
Is related above, and that is probably enough.
From it. howCVer, 0110 would infer that the
hearing of it trial could not fail to ".iisgui"t"
ordinary Intelligence and reftrt'einent, or which
it ie' to be presu'inod there was much la the
Court room, said to have been wpll filled with
person's from all parts of our cojnty. As this
rercrcncc might be taken as a reflection upon'
them, unintentional though it be. Would not
some explanation or correction' be proper, and
detivn'ded in justice to those present and to the
honor of our cou 111 y ? t
But reference is also made to "a certain part
of White township," as if it Was responsible for
the case or io some way connected with it.
w"hcn, Iu truth, the people knew nothingahout
it. The prosecutrix is unknown here, the of
fense, whatever It was. was not committ-l hers,
nd the dcrendanCtlmngh possibly he might
have, been born and lived here wheu a child, is
believei not to have been a citizen Tor many
years. How, then, the turpitude or this sf
falrcan Justly be connected with tbfc "morals
c,r White township" mor,than any clhor, and
fhus bo made, undesignedly perhaps, but none
the low injuriou'siy.Jo cast. Its odium rrver the
virtues, jntelligcritjo and g"0:d standing; of its
inhabitants, is cerfalnly not apparent.
We do not claim for our peoplf fhe height of
perfect ien, nor entire freedorV!'. from' faults
such as other places like this arc sometimes
subjected to, but we do claim for them a good
name and a good degTec of respectability, as
judged by the standard around them; their in
tention being to live soberly,' honestly end"
rightcous-v, as goot citizens, and.ttnsb.un vice.
Especially" do we disown for them all oountc
oance for Such depravity as that referred to in
the quotation.
Our chariry will not allow us to believe this
fling at White township to have leen intention
al, for tho uniform courtesy of the FKEKMAN
does not often admit such coarseness but such
Imputations, so damaging to the reputaiio.i of
it Well-mi'aninjr people, bhotihl not be suffered
