The several contractor: on that portion of the Lowisburg, Centre ant Tyrone Railroad, (from Tyrone to Pennsylva nia Fufnace) are pushing the work on rapidly and will no doubt have it graded by the Is of April next. Last even ng the lien Is wet , paid off at this point. They retired in goo( order and with merry hearts ; wages two dol lars per day. This road passes through : rich section of the country. We have an ex cellent market for eve.ything the farmer cat produce. Men of capital would du well to visit this point before investing elsewhere. A mill would do well here and is much need ed ; there being none within three miles o. this place. Many other branches of buslne, m'glit be started np and carried on success f4l.y." LITERARY NoTICES.—A splended illtv trated artihto do "Nett ways in the olcrildroin ion," opens SUMS:MEWS for December. Mr. Sterns, who in one of the earliest numbers of the lIONTULY so pleasantly described the "S reel 'Venders of New York," hero eives us "A peep at the bird-Shop," a peep to which we are helped by the graphic pencils of Kappes and Bolles. There is, ton, a bright little illus trated paper on "Mother Goose ;" and the second installment of Dr. Holland's "Arthur Bonnicastle" is accompanied by another charming picture by Miss Ilalloch. Among Vie notable features of this number are "Stories of the Irish Smugglers," by 'Fronde the historian : a lively account of "A Tramp with Tyndall" among the Alps ; a capital story by Miss Isalella T. Hopkins, author of "Miss Marigold's Thanksgiving," entitle, "One of Miss Widgery's Evenings." This, too, has a flavor of Tnanksgiving. Mr. Conway's re markable essay on "The Demons of the Shad ow" is concluded; also Mrs. Oliphant's admirable novel, "At His Gates," which will be at once issued in book-form by Scribner, Armstrong & Co. The poets of this number are Robert Buchanan, Rose Terry, R. It. Bow ker, and Hiram rich. In "topics of the Time" Dr. Holland discusses "Our English Visitors," "The Rascals of Wall Street," and "good Manners." The Old Cabinet shows that the longest way round is sometimes the shortest way home. The Home and Society papers are on Monday Payments ; The Picturesque in Tresses; The Chairs of Society, etc In Cul tare and Progress there is a notice of "Fronde the American Platform," etc., etc. Nature and Science contains a large number of inter esting paragraphs; and "Etchings" consists of the illustrated "Story of Anion" by Thomas Dunn English. The January tiumb.;r of Saimaa will con tain contributions from William Morris, will him C. Bryant, Bret Haile, George MacDonald, with other striking and popular features. Peters' Husked innthly completes its Tenth Volume with the December number, and it is doing Mr. Peters but simple justice to state that his excellent magazins is improving with age. It was good years ago, when it first made its appearance, and it has been steadily im proving until the present time, when it can only be pronounced perfect, and indispensable to every lover of music. The December number, price 30 cents, con tains three Ballads, a Christmas Song, an An them, a Four-hand piece, as played atTheodore Thomas' Orchestral Concert and three sp'endid Piano Pieces, any single piece being worth in sheet music form more than Mr Peters asks for the entire lot. Giving so much really good music for such a small sum, ;t is na wonder that PETERS' MUSICAL MONTHLY has hosts of friends among our music loving people. Those who have seen it will, of course, renew their subscrip tion for the coming year; others, less fortun ate, should send the Publ slier, J. L. PEntas, 599 Braaeway, New York, $l, and secure the last four numbers as sample copies, or T 3 for a year's subscription. SURVEYING A NEW AND IMPORTANT RAILROAD Roos.—New railroads AM spring-. ing into existence all round us. Among those building are the Peach Bottom (running through York, Lancaster, Chester and other counties), the Berks County railroad, the Lan easter and Quarryville, the Harrisburg and i'otomac, the South Mountain (with termini it Roelville, this county, and Hamburg, 3erks), the Columbia and Port Deposit and :he Mecharicsburg and Dillsburg. From the ihippensbneg Sentinel we learn that a few days Igo a corps. of engineers appeared in that Awe to make a survey of a proposed route 'rom tho coal fields of Somerset county and .he coal regions of Broad Top to Philadelphia. che road is being built by the authority of an set of the legislature of Pennsylvania, incur •orating the "State Line and Juniata railroad .ompany," approved April 5, 1870, together vith supplemental enactments of "ly 18, 1871 Ind March 6, 1872. The company intend to :onstruct and equip the main line of its rail oad, extensions of the main line and branches f the came, lying along the east of Licking :reek, in Fulton county. The main line com uencing at a point on the Maryland line, -here the said line crosses Licking Creek in :re southwest corner of Franklin county and y way of Licking Creek valley, and the ex ension of the said main line eastwardly hrough the counties of Huntingdon, Fulton, !,ankliu, Adams, York, Lancaster, Chester, ielaware, Montgomery, Philadelphia and lucks county, at a point on the Delaware fiver at or near Morrisville, in said county, in ength about 198 miles, as now located by the iompany. Cumberland county is not men ioned in the route, yet Shippensburg is mark 1 in the line upon the map. From that flue the line takes au easterly course through 'ins Grove stud thence to York. It is the purpose of the company to con met a double track, narrow gague (three :ct) railroad, from the bituminous coal-fields omerset county, and the semi-bituminous oal regions known as "Broad Top" in Bunt- Igdon, Bedford and Fulton counties, to Phil lelphia. The main line, with its branches, "ill be about 225 miles in tenth. This road ill reach the vast fields of coal and iron de os:ts, west of the Tuscarora mountains, by a loner and cheaper route than now exists. :osides the mineral deposits in the localities hove mentioned, the entire country traversed y this railroad is the richest agricultural istrict, and the most densely populated in ie state. The company expect to build the road on a 'on of $4,000,000, secured by first and only •t'rigagc, at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum, , ayable in gold semi-annually, clear of state ad United States taxes, on the first day of Aril and October.—HarKelurg Patriot.

BUSINESS ON BROAD TOP.—DUDLEY PA, Nov. 23, 1872.--Rdifor Journal :—The subscriber noticing with regret that no ono appears to be intevested in collecting news for your paper takes upon himself the heavy re sponsibdty of writing a letter in order that you may know what he thinks of matters and things in the county in general and on Broad Top in particular. The subscriber has only lately culled at Broad Top and he cannot be expected to tell a great deal about it ; but what he does know ho will attempt to tell. Be finds Broad Top to be apparently on the decline—for the present at any rate. Work is dull. Families are moving an ay. The num ber of empty houses, the quiet and desolate appearance of things ' nTaerallv, remind ore of many parts of the South in war - times. Coal moot, once famous, appears now almost de sorted. Powelton, perched upon a hill, is almost given aver to the owl and bat. Craw ford and Friendship aro dolefully quiet. Broad Top City, Dudley and Barnettstown arc the only villages that keep up appearance ; and all have empty dwellings. Things are so desperately dull that it is hard to get up any excitement of any kind. An occasional fight, ecding in a broken pate or two, scarcely elicits a passing remark. The barber g. - ..es after the nocturnally noisy boys with a stone in each hand, and his next ueighbor scarcely bears of it A boy shoots through a store door and hits another boy, and the latter only responds by harder kicks against the door. Why all Broad Top was scarcely able to muster a single suit at the last court; and that is something so new for Broad Top as almost to deserve special mention inthe Presi dents next message. Nor do more peaceful and social movements meet with greater publicity. Mr. Everett gets lip a singing class in Dudley—and none but its thirty members think of attending or vis iting it. Mr. Glean forms a similar class at Broad Top City and !ludley don't hear of it. The members of the Broad Top Band scarcely muster ever enough to learn a new piece. The Dudley Literary Society is reorganized, en rolling among its members the illustrious names of Ctesar, Brutus, Cicero, Demosthenes, Archimedes and Diegenes,—and scarce Dudley knows where it bolds its meetings. Wherefore this dullness? Broad Top depends upon the coal husiness. If large quantities of coal are not being steadily sent away. trade languishes. There must be a demand for coal. There must be motive power to take away the coal. And there must be men to dig coal. These arc titre requisites to the pros ervation of life and active business on Broad fop, where coal exists in large quantities. Generally ono of them is wanting ; and gener ally haziness is dull. The people now attri bute all their ills to the management or mis management of the R. & B T. R. IL ; and lately it has been in the fault. At one time bridges are down and cars can't run. At another tanks or pipes are frozen or a laborer has broken a pipe and engines cannot obtain water. At another time engines are worn out or in shops for repai s, and cars enough cannot be suppli ed, nor coal shipped away. When the road is supplied with new engines, there is soon a general b Taking up of things ; and in half a week, four engines, arc bursted or broken. The people blame the railroad and its mane gers, nn l all are hoping and praying that the I'. R. R. will take charge of the road. But the people arc much in fault. Let the road be well managed, in good order and cars nleoty, and let orders for coal roll in until the half of them could not be filled, and it would not be two months until there would be a strike. Work would all be stopped, all busi ness would be paralized, men would lie for weeks idle. And when at last they chose again to go to work there would be little work to do. The orders would have bden taken to other mines to be filled. The cars would have been taken to other railroads in distant parts of the State. Coal could not be taken away even though orders were plenty. Anxious though men might be to work there would be little to do ; and we should see them still, as we see them now, getting but half work and complaining c.f the hard times. From what has been said the reader may form a conclusion as to way Broad Top is, has been and is likely to be so much driller and poorer than it should he. There are other reason; which may be spoken of at another time. Are men reasoning c_eatures? Some of them are, most of them are not. SUBSCRIBE!, How TO GO WEST.—This is an in quiry which every one should have truthfully answered before he starts on his journey, and a little care taken in examination of Routes will in many cases save much trouble, time and money. The "C. B. lc Q. R. R." running from Chicago, through Galesburg to Burlington, and the "I. B. St W. Route," running from Indianapolis, through Bloomington to Bur lington, have achieved a splendid reputation in the last two years as the leading Pas,enger Routes to the West. At Burlington they con nect with the B. k M. R. R. and form the great Burlington Route, which runs direct through Southern lowa to Nebraska and Kansas, with close connections to California and the Terri tories ; and passengers starting from Run tingdon county, on their way westward, can not do better than to take the BURLINGTON ROUTE. _ _ -.-. This Line has published a pamphet called "How to go West," which contains much valua ble information ; a large correct map of the Great West, which can be obtained free of charge by addressing the General Passenger Agent, B. k M.

A COMPLIMENTARY SUPPER.—The Board of Commissioners tendered a compli mentary supper to George Jackson, Esq., the retiring member of the Board, at the Exchange hotel, on last Monday evening, which passed off, very pleasantly. Quite a number of speeches were made and the retiring gentle man had a right to feel highly complimented by the voluntary tributes to his efficiency as a public officer. A resolution was adopte,: ten dering thanks to the landlord for his kind and bountiful entertainment. At an early hour the party dispesred to their several homes to dream pleasant dreams. DWELLING H OUSE DUE N ED.—On last Tuesday, while John S. Warfel, Esq., cf Henderson township, was attending court as a j,ror, his house caught fire from a stove pipe, and was entirely consumed, together with a great part of the contents. At the time the fire broke 0 ,, t there were no men about the house, and by the time the male portion of the family were called from the fields the fire had such headway that it was impossible to con trol it. The property was insured to the amount of $l7OO.

WHARTON LIBEL, CASE—, Eamicas OF TOE COURT.— Gent emen 7//I the Jury: Tho defendant, .S. Wharton, is indicted for libel. The first count in the indictment is "tor writing, publishing, end exhibiting a libel," and the second, for‘publishing and exhibiting" alone. Our law defining the offence, and prescribing the penalty, is in these words: any person shall write, print, publish, or exhibit auy malicious or defamatory libel, tending either to blacken the memory of one who is dead. or the reputation of one who is living, and thereby exposing him to public hatred, centempt, or ridicule, such person shall be guilty of a miedemennor, and on convic tion be sentenced to pay a fine, etc., or undergo tin iinprisonment, &e., or either or both, at the discre tion of the court." The essence of the offence con sists in the roolire of the publication. or, in the intent to defame the reputation of another. If the publieation, which is elabued to be libellous. on hie tact.. tends to expose a man to the contempt, scorn, or ridicule of his fellows, the presumption is that it is malicious, and at one time the law did not stop to consider in any 0880 whether the charge p tolished wits true or false; the only question asked was, "What is its tendency? Does it tend to expose the object of it to contempt or scorn, or to bring him into ridicule. It it does, then it is libellous; it will provoke the party injured, his friends, and his family, and, acting ender this provoestien, they will seek revenge, which will result in breaches of the public peace." The pub lic peace is or more hnportince, said the law, in such cases. than the publication of the truth, there fore the publication of the truth is libelous and must be prohibited by penalties. The Common wealth, in self-protection, considered socie y the aggrieved party, not the person libelled, and visit ed the penalty on hint who indirectly broke the law by telling the truth. The reason for this it seems to us is indisputable. A man may have the right to tell the truth, as he has the right to build and carry on a elaughter house, but, as n member of society, for the sake or the public, he must ex ercise these rights in such wsty that they are not pernicious. If, by exercising the right to tell the truth. the peace of s o ciety is made to suffer, then for the general good he must retrain from the ex ercise of that right. So, if a man by erecting a slaughter boils.° on his own ground endangers the health of society, he must refrain from the exereise of that right. Without exception such was tht low at one time; it did not stop to consider in at. case whether the publication was true or false. But long before any legislation nn the subject by 'he framers of our Constitution, the coin.ts to some extent began to relax this rigid rule. The err,' nature of our republican institutions forced them to do it, so it was allowed that the truth might be given in evidence to rebut the presumption o. malice, when the publication tended to show the unfitness of a cendidate for office. It was also allowable to give in evidence the truth of and con cerning the official acts of public bodies and public officers; and in communications to the appointim. powers stating the in,inincity of the offiec holder But the clause in our Bill of Rights, which neithe Legislature. nor Judiciary can in any way ab Ng, tow declares that in prosecutions for the politica 'ion of papers investigating the official conduct o officers or of men :wing in a public capacity. or where the matter published is proper for public information, the truth thereof may he given in evi dence. Underthisprovision,thepublication of that. -oncerning a candidatr, which shows him to be °lbw an immoral man or intellectually unfit for a posi tion ofpublie trust, is matter proper for publication. and iftbere is an intention to inform the people, the publisher can give in evidence the truth or the charge, to rebut the presumption of 'notice. It is claimed by the defendant in this case that the offence charged as libellous was, under the eireum stanc, which existed at the time, matter proper for public information ; that it was true, therefore not malicious. The following is a copy of the publimition laid as libellous in the indictment: TLe following is a copy of a paper filed with the school board of Huntingdon borough, contain ing charges of such grave importance, against a man who is before the people fora high and respon sible office, that it is due, right, and proper to lay this paper before you so that you and all good cit izens may be made acquainted with one who seeks for places of trust. Several other charges of the same nature are openly made and will be substan tiated under oath. It is only necessary to add that a man who would grossly insult the daughters of our fallen soldiers and strive to lead them in the 'path of shame is only fit to rot in a felon's cell." SOLDIERS' ORPHANS' APPLICATION FOR DISCHARGE. "To Iron. J. P. Wickersham, Superintendent— Sir I, the mother of Lydia Ann Pope, do hereby make application for the discharge from custody, care and control whims you now posses by author ity of the act entitled "An act to provide for the continuance end maintenance of the destitute or phans of the deceased soldiers and sailors of the State," approved April 0, 18G7. In furtherance whereof, I hereby append the following statement of facts, with signature and affidavit thereto." "The above named Lydia Ann Pope was born on the 2Sth day of April, Ha, and was a resident of Huntingdon, State of Penneylvnie, when appli cation for admission to school was made, and is at the times, pupil in the Soldiers' Orphans' School at Cassville. Pa. And I further declare that my reasons for asking for the discharge of said child arc: That my older daughter, Louisa, now 1; years past, when en a visit to the school last ditty, to see her sister, the said Lydia Ann was genes:) insulted by the principal, Professor A. L. Once, ha having locked her in his office, and after failing to carry out his designs, attempted to bribe her not to reveal the matter to me. Therefore, I am un willing to have another daughter in the hands o: said principal. And further, that I now have in my possession ample means for her education and maintenance. her Wilneei: J. 0. MunnAr. Sworn and subscribed before me. this 30th day of July, 1372. Jolla 0. MURRAY, J. P. „, Now, gentlemen, you will consider the charge contained in this publication. Does it charge an offence which tends to bring the prosecutor into contempt ? If the prosecutor de,oyeti a young girt into his office, and there grossly insulted her; it the communication to the public of such an offence does not expose him to contempt, indignation and acorn, we are at a loss to know what would. The morals of a community would be low indeed if the commission of such an act did not expose the per petrator to contempt. It has not been claimed here by the defendant that such was not its ten dency. It has also been both proven and admitted that the defendant published the libel in question; that be distributed it; that the prosecutor, A. L. hose. is named in it, and that ;t refers to him and to him alone. The only questions for your consid eration are, let, Was It, under the eircurastanees which then existed, a matter proper for publica tion ? 2nd, If so, was it true? „ The circumstances under which it was published are, from the evidence on both side!, about as to' lows: Delegates to a Convention called by the Itepub lican party of Huntingdon county were to lie elect ed on Saturday, the 10th day of August last, and they, the delegates so elected. were to meet together in Huntingdon, on the 13et day of August, that is, on the following week, and, among other things, they were to place in nomination a can didate for Congress from Huntingdon county, which county is one of the four counties of the 17th Congressional District of Pennsylvania. This nomination was of course subject to the deci sion of the District Convention or Conference. At that time tho defendant and the prosecutor wore both Republicans and both rival candidates for the nomination of Huntingdon county. Bach strove to eecure the preference of his party in the selection of delegates. Both, so far as appears from the evidence, were regarded by a large portion of the people of the county, as men of standing and respectability. The prosecutor, A. 1,. Goes. was principal of the Soldiers' Orphans' School. at Passville, a position, whether technically a State office or not, is one reeognir.d by the State and supported by the State, for the maintenance and educalon of them wards of the nation, the children of those who have died in the service of the coun try. From the very nature of the ease the poeitior. of the principal of such an institution woe one of responsibility, and he who holds it ought to pot vest horning, ability and a high moral character. It is but fair to presume that, when surha position was conferred upon Prof. Gust by those in author ity, when they entrusted to him each an immense powe- for good or for evil, gratitude to the dead who lad laid down their lives for the rood of the State, as well as fidelity to their public trusts, in duced them to scrutinize carefully the qualifica tions ot Prof. Goss. We say it is fair to presume that the position which the prosecutor holds woe conferred upon him because those in authority deemed him trustworthy and capable. This posi tion he held from 1811.5 until last August, and he still holds it. ibir- Wharton was a merchant, a business man of this place, and from the fact that he presented himself as a candidate for Congreee, it is but fait to presume that he enjoyed the confidence of hie friends, and in a large measure, the esteem and reepeot of the public. The office held by Prof. Gass was sue reviring the highest degree of faith fulness. It required moral purity of no ordinary stamp. Both aspired to a high political office and asked of the people an expression of their prefer ence. To properly fill the office, the people desired candidates of at least integrity and faithfulness in the discharge of the duties of the office, and any ' thing which tended to indicate a lack of moral character was a matter proper for public informa -1 tion. Any one, with an honest desire to inform the public of any fact which rendered either of them unfit to represent the people, and thus prevent the public from being deceived, could publish for the information of the public, that feet, and might. even though it brought a candidate into disrepute, or exposed him to contempt, give-in evidence the ' ,truth of the matter published. Such a publics ' tion, under such circumstances, becomes more im- I pertant than the preservation of the public, peace. The truth, though it might incite to brawls, is no ceesary, when the failure to tell it might result in the selection of an un worthy officer 15,804 The circumstances having been then what both the Commonwealth and OA defendant say tbey were, was this publication such au ono Cu was proper for public information ? It is for you to judge. If it was true, it seems to us that it was proper for publication. If a man, entrusted with the education of children, is lewd in his conduct. lecherous in his propen,itics; if he cannot restrain' his laseivious desires in the presence of a young girl of seventeen; if neither the town of God nor proper self-respect, nor n due regard fur the future we're,• of a young girl could restrain him, it was proper that the public should know It. They might very fairly infer that one who hal been fele to his trust in thin respect eould not withstand th • tempt Ilion which surround a Congressman a. Wush.ngti,n. If were it proper for public information it wunia net be material that Mr. Wharton published it. It is true he was a rival candidate, and the result of the pnblicution might be 'gratifying to his personal aspirations; still, that would he on'y tne indirect result of the publication of that which was proper tor public iutermation. The public.. being in formed by no matter whom, would refuse to select Mr. Guss because of his unfitness. If, mingle-I with the desire to inform the public of his riva.'s foot e, there was on the part of Mr. Wharton a selfish desire to mount to office, on the scorn and contempt which would befall his rival, however much we might be inclined to question his Chris tian spirit, we cannot dispute bin right to give to she public proper information; in no view of the ease can his right under the Bill of Rights be abridged; this it seems to us is the only reasonable construction of this provision. Then was it true? You will observe that one of the phrases in the libel contains the allegation that Prof. Goss committed other offence. than the one charged. .Still the charge specificall set out in the indictment is contained in the affidavit. All that precedes the affidavit is but comment on that which follows, and the malice which induced the publication of the affidavit, if malice there was. is really indicated by that publication, and that alone. If the charges contained in the affidavit were true. it would thirty warrant the inference in the prefatory remarks that the pros.ecuter htul been uilty of other offences of a like nature. Nor would the prosecutor be much better off if the one distinct charge only were true. The public would likely draw conclusions for themselves. If Prof. 14nse had been guilty of this specific charge it would lead the defendant and the public to the conclusions which precede the affidavit. The in jury to Prof. Guss was the publication of 'he affi davit. Then, confining our attention to the affida vit, was the matter proper for public information, and was it true? We do not agree with the counsel for the de fendant that the defendant is responsible only for his belief as to the truth of the affidavit; that be enuse he found an er party affidavit containing an illusion to the reputation of another; that he be leved it to be true and published it. and is there fore justified. That affidavit might have beer. made for a proper purpose, had helore the proper authorities, for a purpose perfectly proper at the time; that of getting the other daughter of Mrs. Pope out of the school; but it was in no sense a indicial ascertainment of guilt, nor of itself any •citlenee suf f icient to warrant its publication. The lefendant meet show reasons more satisfactory shun the mere existence of an affidavit, and Pe ha•ting been filed for a particular purpose,lo jus tify its publication. You should consider dispassionately this evi dence. The great enemy to impartial judgment in t feeling of sympathy for or of prejudice agninst iron or the other of the parties. You should banish -verything of this kind. Carefully weigh the tes •imony. Bring to bear upon it your common sense and sound judgment, and, without hesitatiost mike up a verdict. The charge, you will bear in , nind, alleged in the libel is one easily made. Any 'end or wicked woman who desires to injure the repetation of a man, or to extort money from him. an make such a charge, and the subject of the :barge often hoe no means of refuting it but by an t lineal to his own reputation for purity; and so. .tn the other hand, you will bear in mind that in lecent assaults of this nature are not made in public. in the presence of witnesses, and as to the main feet, its truth most generally depends upon •he testimony of the party uccueing. In view of •he nature of the offence, and the special circum stances of this case. the Commonwealth relies on the testimony of Prof. Gees contradicting the statement of Louisa Pope. end on circumstances going to contradict or render her 'story improbable. The defendant claims that ho not only had ground for believing the charge true which he published, hut that it is true, in fact, and calls to the witness stand Louisa Pope. You will remember her testi mony; she states that eke had been a pupil at this school, and, having arrived at the graduating ege. she left it in February 1871. That she went back afterwards, on a visit; that last May Prof. GUM. tinned upon her mother, in this town, and asked that she, Louisa, could go over with him to Cass vine; that her mother was about todet her go, but, owing to something said by Mrs. Wise, she deelin cal the next morning to permit her to go; that on the followingweek, on Tuesday, Prof. Guss called again, and again desired to take her over,and that she emisented because of the fact that she was then to have company, and that she did go over in the spring wagon while Prof. Gass rode in a carriage. and that. the next day, desiring to visit her rela tive in flares Valley, eke went to thogarden where Prof. Gust was working and asked his permission to with her eister and Miss. Cramer to her relative: hat Prof. Ouse replied that he was too busy, she should come to his office before dinner, that ht would then hear what she had to say ; that she went into his office just before dinner,—he we, writing some at the table,—some boo's was on hie table which she took down and was reading, anti after a while he quit writing, turned around in his chair, asked her to come to him. and asked her what eke wanted, and on her telling him ht said 'yes) , well', and took her by the hand and tried to pull her down on hie lap; that she jerked loose from him and went to the door .d found it locked; that he told her to be afraid, and she said 1 she was not afraid but wanted out; that he then asked her if she could keep a secret; that she sup posing it was something that had happened at the school, said ' yes;" that he then said some words to her; that she went to the door and said "Mr. Gass I want oat; that he said 'oh, Louisa, 'didn't meat, any harm,' and she replied "Mr. Goss, I took it aF harm"; that he said some more words and exposed a portion of his person and tried to put hie handy up her clothe.; that she told him that if he did no , leave her outehe would call forhelp, hethen opened the door and she went to Mre. McMenamin'. room and told her all about it. She farther states that she went over to her relatives, returned to the school, and that on the Saturday following she, in company with Prof. Gum, eome of histeachere, and a scholar, started home in a epring wagon, gam back to this town on Saturday and got out of the wagon at the Franklin Houee ; and that, then and there, Prof. Gum asked her to keep the matter a secret, and said that if she would not reveal it ht would give her money whenever she wanted it, but that she refused to keep the secret and went hem and told he - mother. This is her statement, gentlemen. It is flatly denied by Prof. Gees himself, who, under oath, as serts in the meet positive manner that it is false as to the material part,—as to what took place in the room. You have heard his statement on the stand under oath; as also the testimony of Mr.Rindlaub. his gardener, who states that he went into the room that morning for the purpose of calling ott Prof. Gum to get come money for ono Mr. Cull man, whom they owed for potatoes • that be lef Curfman in the hall, went in, and obtained 34.00 went out and gore it to Cadman, and came boob again to the office; and that he heard LOlliett then ask permission of Prof. Gees to go and see her ref alive in Hares Valley with her sister and Mist , . Cramer, and that he Prof.Guss,merely nodded con sent. This is what is testified to by Mr.Rindlaub: and his credibility is attacked by the defendant : who claims he is mistaken as to one particular: that instead of Curfman's standing in the hall, lit was standing at hie team, and adduces further his failure to recollect any other circumstance of that day than this isolated nntiparticular fact; compar ed with the minute account be gives of this fact. Then you have the testimony of Mre. MoManamit who testified yesterday evening that Louis:: did not mum to her room and tell her what occurred as stated by Louisa. Mrs. MeManatna on account of sickness in her family, and in the school, left thie morning, and the defendant's counsel state that when she wes sn the stand last night they did not know, and Dr. Gass states that he did not tell them before ehe left, of what he proposed to swear to. They called Dr. Gass, who testifies that he was visiting Mrs. McManama through part of April, the whole of May. and part of June, while she was ill, and that he remembers of calling upon her one day in May, and that while there she was ~alled out ofthe room; that conversation took place at the door, and that Mrs. MeManania came back and stated to him that the Pope girl had made a iomplaint that Prof. Gans bad insulted her, You will remember what ie urged by the Commonwealth in rebuttal, that, while the Doctor has made an entry in his diary of a visit to Mrs. McManama on the 12th of May and on the 18th, there are no visits recorded as of the Intervening days. You will remember what is urged by the Doctor in ex planation, that Mrs. McMananna being a friend of hie, he did not enter or charge for visits made to her which were not absolutely necessary. The Com- Monwealth further called Mice. llissong and other witnesses whose names we do not remember, to con tradict Louisa'. statement as to what occurred at flieFranklin Howe, that no opportunity could have oc curred for such conversation as is claimed by Louisa to have taken place. Then it is urged, on the part of the daleedant, to reply, that be comerrattnn was beet not said by Louisa to have beet) of any length, co:operatively, and that the witnesses wets Lu'y in the bustle of prepar ing to get away, PIO that lllPC..veNation puslly Lave occurred without their havlng noticed it. Then yon have what is asserted by the Commonwealth to be eedence of the improbability of herstory,—the toeset ce in the brild "ng nflarge neater of pupils ;--that the door was not se cured and could not be secured so a. to prevent. meaner frt. 111, ontside ; that a designing man would not in ma h a place Lase attempted to COMmitsuch ap offeuve as the one charged. You will also remember what is argued by the other side as to the lock nu the a our.

It is further urged here by 'he defendant that Re to every Material part of her state ment she is corroborated. where corroborative Is possible.
