Sermon On Lying.
A very able sermon on the sin of
this character, upon every-day vioes |
should be heard oftener from the pul- |
pits of all churches. We believe the ef-
fect would be wholesome, and if the fire |
was kept up against lying, cheating, |
tale~bearing and kindred sins, that peo-
ple guilty of these would
ashamed of them, and these vices would |
be less common. Two or three effective |
sermons, upon each of these sins, about |
once n year from every pulpit, would |
become |
5
i
lend interest to devine service, aod fi- |
nally render lying, cheating, jealousy, |
and mischievous goesiping as unpopular |
as rum drinking has got to be under the
firaof the advocates of sobriety in the
last decade. The good effects of that
kind of preaching has blotted oat the |
saloon, and the habit of dram drinking
has become a disgrace, The pulpit can
do a vast good by making a special topic
of the sins above named once at least in
each quarter,
Lying and cheating want to be pics
guilty ones will feel the stigma attaching
to them, instead of thinking they are
counted shrewd and smart because of
points gained by lying, deceit, and cheat.

Railroad Prosecuted.,
The ranning of freight trains on San-
day evidently is a violation of the laws
of this state, Last week there was aa
Robert Patton made information before
Justice of the Peace, A. W. Reese, of
that place, against the whole of a crew
of freightmen who run a train on the
previous Sunday over the Bald Eagle
Valley railroad. Mr. Blanchard, Esq,
the railroad’s attorney, appeared at the
hearing but despite all efforts each men-
ber of the crew was fined four dollars
apiece and costes, There were nine of
them which made it quite s sum. Supe.
Blair, of Tyrone, gave bonds for the pay-
ment of the fines and costs.
This is a bit of news for most people
who are not aware that the railroaisare

~The matter of arresting railroaders |
for ranning trains through Port Matilda |
on Sunday promises to be a history of |
weekly instalments, each one opening |
and closing with the advent and depart |
ure of every Sabbath. It was on Sun |
day, the 16th day March, when the first |
information was made, at the instance of |
ons R. A, Patton, against all raiiroaders,
nine in number, who ran trains on that |
day. Toe hearing was held before |
Bquire Reese, The fine, as imposed by |
law, for working cn the Sabbath, is $4 |
for each and every instance, and in |
defanit of the payment thereof stand |
committed to the county jail for the |
period of six days. The nine men could |
not pay their fiae of four dollars apiece |
aod Squire Reese wrote ont commitments |
for the entire number. They were saved |
from going to jai! however, by Lawyer
Blanchard and Assistant Supe: intendent |
Dasiel Woods becoming personally re-
sponsible for the amount of the fine.
The nine men were then discharged and
inside of twenty hours after the case
was appealed from the justices decision
and will now be tried in the courts. On
Sunday, the 23rd instant, information
was made against eleven men and war
rants placed in the hands of the constas
ble for their arrest. Being unable to
