Tha effort! for ht* vdrdon—Letter from District Ai
format Uaalauahltn—A writ or error issued by tho
SupiowOourZ-Whai Om. Geaw'Mnks.
During tho past two weeks, strenuous
■efforts have been made by the friends of
Dr. Sohoeppe to secure his pardon. Com
munications have appeared. in the city
papers from some eminent chemists and
toxicologists, who are not satisfied vith
the verdict. Meetings have been held in
Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore,
Louisville, Pittsburg, St. Louis, Nash
ville and other places, at which resolu
tions have been adopted, declaring that
the testimony on which tho Doctor was
convicted was insufficient, and the ver
dict unwarranted by the evidence. 'Com
mittess have been appointed to wait upon
the Governor, and the Executive office
has been besieged with the friends of the
prisoner. Most of these meetings have
been respectful and dignified in charac
ter, but. as their statements and actions
hive been purely ex parte, we have not
given their proceedings a place in our
columns. At a-meeting held in Phila
delphia, however, there wereprqoeedings
Which were simply . disgraceful. A
speech was made by a lawyer named
Dittman, In which be took occasion to
rtflsotupon the Court, the Jury, the At
torney. General, the District Attorney,
and some, of the'.witnesses, and was
guilty of Several palpable misstatements.
We take metasion here to reiterate our
flnh cohvjotion that ail the gentlemen
io auy way connected with this celebra
ted trial, discharged ;thelr unpleasant
tasks under a solemn and conscientious
sense of duty and. responsibility; and we
feel it incumbent on us to state that these
reflections upon the officers of the law
find no response In this! 'community
where the gentlemen are known.
The folio wing letter from District At
torney Maglaughlin, in reply to Mr.
Dittman, will doubtless be read with
Interest. .
To the Editor of The Press :
Sik: I have noticed the account of the
proceedings of the mass meeting held in
your city on Saturday night, December
I, in reference to the case of Dr. Bcboeppe.
Hitherto L* have remained silent,
although it was evident to me, from the
tone and nature of the newspaper articles
on the subject, that the. case has never
been properly understood outside of the
.community and persons immediately
connected with the trial;
. I considered my duty as ending with
the trial and conviction of the accused,
aud have nut sought to Interfere with the
efforts uow being made to save the con
demned and undoubtedly guilty man
from the extreme penalty of the Jifw,
Nor do 1 intend now to say anything as
to the merits of the case , itself. When
the end has come, and final action has
been taken, one way or the other, then,
Injustice to the court aud Jury before
which the case was tried, to myself, and
toad parties who have bad official con
nection with the proceedings in the mat
ter, 1 shall endeavor to place this uow
celebrated trial in a proper light before
the public, and to show how lac theca;
parte statements which have been put
forth to excite public feeling are from
giving anythingljke a proper conception
of the circumstances under which Dr
Bohoeppe bus been convicted. .
I desire now to notice several state
ments made by Mr.- Dittmau in his
speech before the meeting above referred
to, ' . , .
H* says (if correctly reported): “On
that day (Nov. 11} the District Attorney
ofUnuberiand couoty had the assuruMue
ofF. Carroll Brewster that Dr. Bohoeppe
would be hung* let the consequences he
what they might,”.
In reference to this,l can only v «ay
Jbat 1 cannot conceive how Mr. Dlumaii
could be drawn into a statement of such
acharaoieh Certainly Thayer said so to
auy one. I have Qyver seen Mf. Brews
ter in my life to ray knowledge, and, con
sequently,' ne.yer-spoke to him in refer
ence to the CQse of Dr. Bcboeppe or auy
other mutter, and no intimation by word
or otherwise,' was evqr given to me as to
t[ie probable, action of the Executive or
the opinion of the Attorney General.
Again, Mr, Dittman says: “The Dis
trict Attorney of Cumberland county was
the private counsel for the heirs of Miss
Stiuuecke.”,
In answer to this I desire to say, em
phatically, that I never had, nor have I
now, any connection whatever with the
estate of Mias SUnuecke, mir have I ever
been, in any way, directly dr indirectly,
interested for any of her hefts or legatees
My sole connection -with the’ cade has
been as District Attorney, and in no other
capacity.- , ;
Again, Mr. Dittman- speaks of **i)r.
iletman, who was hired to swear away
the life of Dr. Schoeppe.”
Dr. Herman is a physician of-thftty
years’ practice,, rgbognlzed, as a skillful
and auccessfu pfa'itl* loner,a man of uul ra
pe 'ehuble integrity, and commanding
the respect of the whole community. He,
was an unwilling ydinesa In the oa«*,
and at first deeming that Schoeppe hat
been unfortunate enough to h«vp caused
"liaaßtinneoke’s death by a - injudicious
administering of a ll narcotic, but without
auy criminal design, he sought to shield
the Doctor; and it was Only by dixit of
close and repeated, examination that we
succeeded In learning from him his full
, knowledge '»f the case* .The attack* upon
mm have?: excited the most indignant
comment in this community, where he.
jsknowu too well and respe ted too much
"r anch an to dnnoticed.
ibe hired mob to which Mr. Dittman
referred as gathered around the jury room
and shouting, “Hang the Dutchman,’ 1 is
a pure product J of the imagination of
.some over-zealous friend of Ur. Sohoeppe,
,'Wbo has reported to Mr. Dittman
’•never occurretl.
The jury before whom’!Schoeppe was
uMid was notably one of the uiohi i.itcill
gmteyer empanelled tu our county, anl
was virtual.y of the defendant’s "W»,
choosing, for although the law gave him
twenty peremptory challenges and an
unlimited right to challenge for caute,
S® °niy used four or five of the challenges'
Allowed him.

Interview Between Baron Gerolt
and' Gov. Geary—What Geary
Thinks op. the Case.
Special Correspondence of the ihguftpr,
Harrisburg, Deo. 11,1869.
. The Inquirer correspondent has had a
full and very satisfactory conversation
with His Excellency, the Governor, in
regard to the case of Dr. Paul Bbneppe,
convicted in the Cumberland County
Common Pleas of the murder, by poison.<:
of Miss Maria M. Bteiunecke, atCariisde
The Executive bad Just returned from
New York, having gone, thitner to pre
side over a meeting of the Union League
of America.
In response to a question as fo the ob
ject of the. Prussian Minister’s visit, the
Governor an-wered that Baron Gerolt
has paid him the compliment of u call on
Saturday, and that there bad been a cun :
saltation in regard to Dt\ Bhoeppe, last
ing until late In the day, in which perfect
good feeling was manifested on both sidesi
The Baron had been very urgent, but
very respectful in bis represei rations to
His Excellency, desiring a full pardon
for the aiiedged offense of the prisoner.
During tne interview the ex
pre-sed the hope that this matter might
not engender any bad feeling between me
States of Germany and the United States,
which had so long conttougd on terms of
amity aud national, good .will. To this
lie Governor had answered ch it he true-
ted, on.his part, that the execution of a
sentence pronounced in obedience to the
solemn verdict of twelve good aud relia
b e citizens of Pennsylvania would not
serve to alienate the affections or regards
of the peoples of two sane and sensible
nations ; that the duties of his office, un
der his inauguration oath to sdstaiu and
to faithfully execute the laws'pf ids State,
required that he should carry out the
sentence of a court of justice legally and
constitutionally constituted,,unless facts
were presented. to f ' him which had not
be j u presented to the lower court, or
upon which the Judge and Jury hud not
acted. ,s n.
The Baron had then left for Washing
ton, promising,, on a request from the
Governor, .to communicate in writing
anything further which he might have
to say in the premises. On the Govern
or’s arrival from New York Boron Qer
olt’s letter awaited him the original, of
which His Excellency kindly consented
should be copied for publication .:
. Legation of the North German
Union, Washington, Deo. 8, 1869.
Dear Governor: After my interview with
your Excellency in Harrisburg, on the
4th Inst., I returned to Washington.deep
ly Impressed with the convioton that the
judicial proceedings in the ca»e of Dr.
Sboeppe, who bud been accused of having
caused the death, of bis putieut, Miss
Bteiunecke, by administering to her.pru
sioacid, were conducted with impartiality
according to the laws of Pennsylvania,
and that the statements in the public pa
pers, and in private letters addressed to
your Excellency, against the integrity* of
the jurors and the Crimlnul Court who
nave their.verdict of guilty, are without
foundation and Justice.
I am happy, to say to your Excellency
that the great excitement of the German *
population in this country against the
sentence of death of Dr. Shoeppe u was
caused by the opinion, publicly ex
pressed by medical authorities iu Phila
delphia, New York, Baltimore, Wash
ington, and in other cities, by whom Dr.
■ Aiken’s chemical analysis of the contents
of Miss Btcionecke’s stomach had been
examined, that the evidence of poison
(prussic acid) presented to the jurors and
u the ,Criminal Court was. insufficient
and doubtful.
This uncertainty of the symptoms of
the prussic acid in the alorsuid analysis,
has since teen strengthened by all medi
cal authorities in.this country who have
been consulted on the subject, Ou my
return to Washington, I tooa pains my
self in examining the numerous petitions
aud opinions addressed to me from vari
ous parts pf the country, and they all
agree that the evidence of prussic acid or
any other poison having been the cause
of Mies Steluueoke’s death is insufficient.
From the testimonies of distinguished
medical authorities whom 1 consulted, I
beg leave to present to your Excellency
(the inclosed opinion of the Medical Soii
ety in Washington.
Upon so many respectable authorities,
and in consideration of the existing
friendly rolatlona aud feelings between
the United states'and Germany, I lud
.taken the llber y of addressing your Ex
cellency personally at your residence i.u
behalf of Dr riuoenpo, with the consent
and the kind introduction of the honora
ble Secretary ol State of the United
Stales. Uuvihg been kindly requested by
your Excellency to address jou In wri
ting, I have now , the honor to comply
with that request, and, together with so
many thousands of my countrymen In
this country. I beg your Excellency to
take Into kind consideration their peti
tions on behalf of Dr. Shoeppe, and their
appeal to your Excellency, to the exercise
of which privilege you are entitled by
the Constitution and laws of-Pennsylva
nia, as Governor of that Suite,
in expressing again to your Excellency
my sincere gratitude for.'-the kindness
with wbion you have received my visit
and my verbal representation on behalf
of Dr, Sboeppe, I beg to add that the in
formation which 1 have received, since
my return to .Washington, of the respec
tability of his family and of his profess
ional eaucsii m at the principal universi
ties In Germany, seem to justlly the
sympathies manifested under theoirotim
stunees by. his countrymen and many
American citizens.
X have the honor to be, with the high
est consideration, your Excellency’s most
obedient servant. Üb. V. Gbiiolt.
To His Exoe.l noy, John W. Geaby,
Governor of Pennsylvauiu Harrisburg.
P, S.—Xf your Excelleucy should deem
it convenient to make any use of this
oommbUicatiOh, { should have no objec
tion to it. Ha. V, Gebo.LT,
io tiiiH letter, written in a fair English
clerk’s hand, is attached the autograph
of the Baron, in German . scrip The
opinion of tile Washington Medical Soci
ety, to which he alludes, was read at the
argument before the Governor, at which
Mr. bittmau, of Philadelphia, represen
ted the prisoner. The Ba ou, before the
interview was ended, toos. occasion to
condemn, very severely, the attacks
mude up<«n the integjlty ofthe Court and
Jury, and hoped that this violence of lan
guage would not serve tu shut the doors
of clemency. »
.Your reporter suggested that the press
and the public were i.uxlous to ascertain
the views of the Executive in the matter
of the pardon of Dr; Shoeppe.
The Governor answered, thalj. the mat
ter hud presented itself to him somewhat
ru this light; He had received* a large
numberof applications for pardon, and
among them was the case of Dr. Shoeppe.
In every instance he bad endeavored to
understand the nature ofthe case pre
sented, and in this case, considering the
excitement raised in the minds of a cer
tain class of people in regard to it, he had
determined from the start to give tbe
mutter a close and impartial attention.
On his inauguration as Chief Magis
trate, hdhud taken a solemn oath belbre
the Legislature, tbejudiciury and the as
sembled people, to “take care that the
laws be faithfuly executed. The judici
ary constitute a co-ordinate branch of
the government, whose authority should
always be respected. A court of justice
hud, after eiglit\duys' faithful examina
tion,decided that the defendant was guil
ty of thiscrime. twelve jurymen, good
and true citizens, had, one by one, put
their names to the verdict. Since then
no facts had been represented to him in
behalf of the prisoner that hud not been
presented to the court aud fully delibera
ted uj)on. ;
The trial being ov*t, after the verdict
there was an application for a new trial,
which was denied. Then a writ of error
was taken to the Supreme Court. Here
ihe following formula wasobserved : The
application was referred singly and pri
vately to each without the knowl
edge of or any communication with Ids
fellow brothers on the Bench, and. the
separate reply of each Judge was handed
Co the Chief Justice. If there had been
a single doubt as to the justice of the pro
cee.diugs below, or as to any portion of
the charge of the judge to the Jury, an
allocatur would, undoubtedly have been
grunted. But the Supreme Bench unan
imously refused the application, and the
relusal was formally.seab d >wu to the ap
pellants.
The Governor then wrote Judge Gra
ham a letter, asking if. everything that
could be done for- the prisoner had been
done ; if there was anything beyond the
evidence presented before the court
which could change the aspect ot the
case, or palliate the guilt of the uufortu-.
nute man. Toe Judge had answered that
everything that could he done for him
hud been done, and that there was noth
ing, in his opinion, that should, change
the effect of the sentence of the court, or
that could palliate.his guilt. Every one
of the twelve jurymen who convicted
him still, even now, conscientiously be
lieve and asseverated that he was right
in his decision.
The defence had had every opportunity
to be heard,, but they had as yet told him
.nothing new—nothing beyond the testi
mony elicited before thejury.
In view of all this, the question hud
repeatedly suggested itself to, the Gov
ernor, coulo he do aught else thau'Maith-
fully execute the law ?'
In regard to the alleged doubt of poison
having beep administered, the Governor
said that this matter had been passed up
on by the Court "nd jury.. Besides, there
were other points iu the case which the
press had not met. The will cohid scarce
ly be ignored. 1 .
. The defence had refused to place the
father of the prisoner—the only witness
of the will dated the day . prior to the
death of the deceased—upon the stand to
swear to the signutureof Missßudiiuecke.
While little or nothing has been-(lone by
the defense in disapproval of thjexlinks of
evidence, much hud been, represented to
him, by men wh-<m he knew !to be ot
undeniable veracity, In regard toHchnep
pe’s past life, aud in reference to circum
stances surrounding this case, which it
was hard for him to disbelh'V't or utterly
throw asside In his review of the case.
■ The great difficulty with the Uovtruor.
seemed to be this s—After all there were
comparatively. few who asked for elds
pardon —say five hundred or a thommmi
people—aud of these probably a very few
understood tbe case, certainly not hh it
presented itsell to him, with ad the facte;
spread before him. besides there being
another party directly concerned in (hi*
matter, protesting against the'liberation
ol the prisoner, and.urging the \indica
tion, of justice, there were four or five
millions of people whose voices were si
lent, who stood calmly aside In expect
ation of the execution of the law.
Then, too, this case had assumed a
somewhat dangerous aspect A particu
lar class of people weie asking lor-this,
pardon, and the Governor deprecated all
class movements, winch bad for its ten
dency the ci ncentration of any caste or
nationality in a demand for Executive
action as Inconsistent with the genius of.
our government-
The immediate friends of Dr. Scboep
pe hud asked for an unconditional libera
lion. They had not even asked for a re
prieve. This was the tenor, of Mr. Dlt
man’s address, and he was authorized to
speak directly for the prisoner.. His con
cluding words, ptluted iu large caps, were
%% death or liberty!'* , -
Reporter-r-Aiu J safe, then, In saying
that your Excellency is still cotfvincedjof
the guilt of the prisoner, or that as . yet
nothing baa been developed in favor of
the pardon of Dr. Bohoeppe 7
The Governor—You may say what you
*i’ll. You have heard just how I feel.
I s mil certainly try to do right in this
matter. I shall perform my duty to the,
best ol my ability, I shall not allow any'
mere sympathy to weigh down tbe scales
against justice and the interests of socie
ty. Murder amL personal violence are
but too frequent In this Commonwealth,
and law breakers are becoinlng alarm
ingly prevalent. lam surprised at the
tender compassion so publicly shown for
murderers, I feel convinced that my du
ty is to think' well before taking any ac
tion which has a tendency to lighten
men’s regard for crime.
Auction Sale op Land.— We call at
tention to the advertisrnent of Mr. B. 6.
Tuyior, who will offer some three thou
sand acres of land iu South-East Missouri,
at public auction, at the Court House, in
this borough, on Saturday next. We
spoke of the character and landing of
Mr. Taylor in our last week’s issue, and
oftho confidence which might he reposed
in his statements. We ai*e assured by
him that the lauds to be offered* are of a
superior quality. He will give full par-
ticulurs at the time of the sale. There
can be no doubt, wa think, that here ip
offered a rare chance for profitable and
safe investment. The system of rail
road completed and inaugurated in this
section of Missouri, cannot fail to bring
this fine region into Immediate notice,
and must Insure its rapid development.—
■Vmnng the attractive features is the flue,
soft climate, wiiiob,added to the superior
soil, makes the country very a 1 tractive.
However, ds we.bave already remarked,
Mr. Taylor will give full particulars on
the occasion of the sale. . .
Prepare fob It.—Those ladles, and
others, who have not yet prepared any
thing forthe gallant boys of the “Union,”
will bavo a week lunger to prepare. The
ladles are In favor of anion, fa ct man,
and they will all contribute something.
This' Is to remind them that articles
ought to be handed in before Christmas
eve. . -
A bbkstkd.— Several young men who
were committing depredations on the
propel ty of Mint Dwlu, on East street, on
Saturday night, wore arrested by the po
lice and bound over foi court.
Eab si ebs should have an eye to stable

Terrible Accident. -On Thursday
m-'miog last, Mr. N. C. Woods, residing
üboul a mile and n-haif ehst nf Newville,
mot with u must painful and shocking
accident.. Ho was engaged in hulling
oioverseed; pud being himself tire driver,
and standing upon a horse-power not
covered' with a platform, fell into the
large wheels below, where, before the
horses could be cheeked, his right leg was
caught, crushed aud literally torn off be
low tile knee. Dra. Robin son and Hilde
man, of Newvllle, were immediately
sent for, who, watting about five bouts
for a sufficient degree of reaction, ampu
tated the limb above the knee. This, In
connectiou with other injuries and bruis
es' proved too much for a system not very
strong nhturally and which bad already
been terribly sboo ked. In about an hour
after the operation, he began to sink,
and in another hour.and half died.
The death of this young man about
twenty-three years of age, is peculiarly
distressing. Since the death of bis fa
ther,three orlf.mr years since, ho has been
the main support of his mother and
younger brothers and sisters. He carried
on farming at the old home stead, with
more than ordinary energy and success,
for one of bis years. And because the
accident could so easily have been avoid
ed, simply by having a platform upon
the horse.-power, makes the recollection
of it unusually saddening., He was a
moat exemplary .young man and devoted
Christian gentleman,loved and respected
by all who knew him.
Thu "Union” Fair.—The "Union"
boys are displaying even more thau their
usual activity in preparing for their fai r
to be held in Rheem's Hall, duridg the
holidays, and if their programme hfcarri
ed out as they now anticipate, we have
no hesitation in predicting that it will be
the most successful fair ever held in thjls
place- More than ordinary intefe&t
seems to be taken in it by. .the ladies, who'
render everything ii"BUCceBß~tbat they
uuder'ake; and the display of needle*
work'will doubtless be large and hand
some. Amongst the articles to be
"chanced off” we notice a magnificent
trotting buggy, from the manufactory of
A. B. Sherk, a large size cooking stove,
and a.first class rag-carpet. We wil( r siiy
in behalf of the “Union" company, that
it is certainly one of the most efficient
organizations In our fire department, aud
its demands upon the public are probably
le-s.frequent than any other couapuny.—
Those who patronize the fair will not
only get the worth of their money, but
will also encourage the firemen, and
thereby increase the protection of their
property. The fair will open on Christ
mas eve, wflen everybody and his wife
aud children will be on hand.
What Is It For?— Considerable anxie
ty bas been .manifested to know what use
is to be made of tho one-story hoard edi
fice recently erected on the Court House
square. Some thought it was for. the ac
comodation of the geutlemen who appear
ou tlie Court House steps, on the warm
sunshiny days; others contended that
it was. intended for .the residence of our
faithful friend, " thochampion bill post
er;" others claimed that ,it was to b© a
colored velocipede rink, to be run in op
position- to tl*e one in the hall. The
hlngjjpew more mysterious when seve
ml huge blocks of murblfe were unloaded
from the cars, and the boys b gan to
whisper of grave yards and ghosts.
We take great pleasure in. relieving the
public.anxiety upon this momentous
question, by stating: that the building is
-intended for the. use of the workmen of
Richard Owens, who is. po’w rapidly
pushing the (Soldiers, Monument on to
completion..'
Presentations.—The public school
ch i Id ren bad a grand jpll ideation on Mon
day morning. If was the beginning of
their Christmas vacation, and as usual,
they signalized the event by making
presents to their respective teachers. —
They proceeded to their. several school
houses—the boys making things gene
rally disagreeable'and noisy by the music
of tin trumpets, barmonicuns and cow
bells—and there the presentations were
had with all due formality. Turkeys*
chickens, geese, apples, and things of
that “ilk,” seemed, to be the favorites
amongst the boys; while vases, table
ware, needle-work, &dJ, were presented
by the girls. Our teachers will live on
the fat of the land during the next two
weeks.

discovered to be on Are. The entire
building was soon enveloped in flames,
and together with four cows, agricultural
implements and a lot of bay, wan eptire
ly consumed. A number of hay pud
straw stacks adjoining the b-irn were also
burned. The Are is supposed to have
been the work of an Incendiary, as none
of the family had been near the building
since before dusk on that evening.
Scarcity op Money.— The scarcity of
money is the burden of conversation
everywhere. Those who have money
bold on to It under the impression that
times are going to bo tighter. Under
the present circumstances the best way
to get along and make business better, is
to keep the money, in circulation. Let
every man who has a dollar keep it
moving, and it will eventually come
book to him. Money is no account
whatever unless it is kept in use: boarded
up it is a curse, kept In circulation it is a
blessing. Let every map'pay bis debts
as fast as be can, and- money will soon
beplentier.
Another Chicken Thief.— On Sun
day night, poiloenieu Swartz & Green,
made a descent upon an ancient “Ameri
can citizen of African 'scent, 11 who was
entering town from the rural districts
on the South of the borough, 'with a
number of chickens in bis possession—
all of them with their necks wrung. He
was arrested, and gave bis nameos John

' Disastrous Fire in Bhippknsbdro—
Judge Blair’s Wareho me and two Sla
bleu Burned—A large Quantity nf Oafs
and Cjrn Destroyed.—On Monday even
ing, about six o’clock, a tire was discover
ed in the hay-loft of a stable owned by
Mr. Smiley, in Hhlppensburg. The sta
ble was situated on the alley running
from King, or railroad street, parallel
with Main street. The fire was soon
communicated to the stable on the prop
erty occupied by Hon. Andrew G. Mil
ter, our Stale Senator, and owned by
Messrs J. & J. B. Beddig. This stable
was soon consumed, together with a cow
and calf, and a quantity of hay. The
flames next seized hold on the ware
house occupied by Judge Blair, also the
property of the Messrs Beddig, which
was also burned to the ground. The ad
joining warehouse of Judge Blair was
considerably damaged by fire. In the
warehouse wjjieb was burned there were
about four.thousand bushels of oats and
four hundred bushels of corn- There are,
two. theories in regard to the origin of
tire fire; one is that it was the work of an
incendiary, and the other that it was
caused by a burning wad from a eun
fired, in the neighborhood, by some
boys, half an hour before the lire was
discovered. ■
Thanks.— During pur absence from
home last week, Jobn-B. Leidig, Esq.,
our member of Assemby-elect, sent to
our family a large quantity of superior
fresh pork and sausages, for which we
return him our sincere thanks. M,r. L.

as a politician, is of the opinion that
the political editor is to be thought
of occasionally by those who reap the
benefits of his (the editor’s) efforts to se
cure party triumphs.
rSILLED ON THE RAILROAD.— We an
□ounce, with the deepest regret, that a
dispatch has been received, just before
our paper is put. to press, announcing
that Louis DeHufF, son of A braham
DeHufT, Esq., of this place, and freight

near Tyrone, by which he lost his life.
He was an iiidustrlous and estimable

A. Y. M.-Afca meeting of Cumber

and the people are showing their appre

patronizing the Sale.
"No Customer must be allow©! to leave

overpersuade any one, out -that such
pains shall be taken to suit, and such
accomodation made on prices, that all

Call Accepted.—The Erie Gazette
inform? us that Rev. Geo. P. Cain, of
the Park Church, ha? accepted a call
from the First Preabytejian church of
Philadelphia, at ti salary of $5,000 per
year, and will enter hi? new pulpit at
the close of next month. Mr. Cain has
previously refused several heavy calls
from various churches, and we think
that he decides wisely in finally yield
ing to the demand that he enter upon a
larger field of usefulness than his pres
ent one.
Butchering.—Thei weather is suita
ble for'hog butchering, and ‘the war of
extermination against the porcine race
has commenced. Many shining blades
have been unsheathed, and nothing
short of sausage or scrapple will a ppease
the appetite of man. On Monday morn

around the town ; and during the week,
there will be enough of tnohina stored
away to kill the whole community.

evenliig.between seven and eighto’clnck,
the stalls of. Daniel Byers,, near the
railroad..depot, in Newville, was discov
ered to be on fire. It? was entirely con
sumed, and one cow, a carriage, and a
lot of hay, were also destroyed, and two
hoigs were somewhat injured. The sta
ble is supposed to Lave been set on fire.
Considerable damage was done to seve

Glad to Hear it.—Theodore Corn
