THE MIRACLE (?) HOW MISS GRETII WAS CALLED OUT OF "ECSTACIES1" A Card from Father Heman. ARCHBISHOP WOOD PRONOUNCES IT A DELUSION 1 Father Heinan Deceived ! Fimn Our Own CbrrcsmnJcnt. As pcf our last article, wo promised to givo tho sequel of the Heinan-Grctli mira cle, Which catno off on Saturday last. No doubt all your readers by this timo nro awaro of just how tlio matter turned out But perhaps thero aro soma who do not road tho dally papers, and for their benefit wo will dot down a fen' facts. Saturday morning last was, indeed, beau tiful; tho sun shono out brightly J Ihcearth was covered with a beautiful mantlo of whito; tho " merry jinglo of tho bells, bells, bells," could bo heard on every side,' whilo ono continuous lino of persons could be seen wending their way to East Mauch Chunk to witness tho "resurrection of tho dead.' Wo even saw quito a number from Lehigh ton, whoso curiosity led them on that bright and piercing morning all the way over tho hills to sco the living die and the dead liv ing again. Wo wero impressed with ono biblical truth : that all on this sldo of tlio river high and low, rich and jwor, saint anil sinner nau to travel ono way, viz. : across the East Mauch Chunk bridgo iu or der to reach the place of signs and wonders. Your corrcsondent, ns incredulous as ever. was seen about eight o'clock a. m. in the lino of march for death or victory. Arriv ing nt tlio place, wo halted at the yard lo view tho situation. A string of peoplo reached from tho ontsido gate to Mis Grcth's bed. Not one inch of available spaeo on the porch or in the kitchen could bo had. Ono perfect mass of humanity was swaying to anil fro, and each vying with the other to gain admittance into tho room leading up stairs. What to do wo didn't know, but we must do something quickly, for we wero already behind time. Wo con cluded to crowd or squeeze our way through, ns wo knew if Father Heinnn saw us we would bo all right, ho having extended us an invitation to bo present. But wo didn't squeeze far. We only got lo tho porch, and there wo stuck. Just then somo kind hearted lady, seeing our predicament and knowinz wo beloinreil to tho Kniirhts of lhr Quill, told us to go around to thelronl door, whero we surely Would bo admitted. Wo took her advice, but, when wo got to tho front, somo ono inside motioned us to re turn from whero wo came, rielni-ninir back wo mounted tho outsido steps, and be gan crowding our way, littlo by little, just as tbo acorn grow, until wo reached the in side stairway, where our motion was unim peded until wo reached tho room in which Miss Greth lay. On entering that wo be held tho room filled with men, women, and children, all wearine? tlio nsnect nf rrro.nt. solemnity. Wo noticed tho bed had changed its jwsition, from what it hud on our former visit to that of tho centra of tho room. Herein .Viss Greth lay neatly Iresseil in white, her arms extending along lier sides, her roldn crucifix nhmit lmr neck, her eyes closed, but tho eyeballs hav ing a tremulous motion, indicatinc: at bnco to our mind that "she is not dead but slecp eth." Fathers Ileinan and llunni ktooil nn one side of the bed, two Sisters of Charity at tno loot, whilo on tho other side and head of tho boil was tho space allowed for the spectators to view the living cori-se. No ono was liermitted to stand or look very long, as tho crowd behind ketit movlnv mm along, and nil passing out a different way iii-iii uiiii, ui cmiTiiig, so mat inero was a perfect circuit of men. women, nml rhll. dron, believers and unbelievers, viewing tho then sappoicil dead lady. Precisely at U:30 a. in. Father Heinan began ids ceremony of raising JZiss Greth from death.

' Thereupon Father Heinan Iwran tl.rnv. planatinn of how Jiss Greth died, aud how ner tout raurnca. to :icr ooai again. Ilo cau tioned all present not to mako liirbt of tbo matter ; that already tho angel had appear ed and told of ono jK-rsou being stricken down and dying a terrible death in conse quence of mocking nt tho affair. (It is tupimsod tho Father hero referred to Jr. William Simmers, local reiwrter.) Father uoinaii i-ejieated, at dillercnt times, that tho listeners must not think ho performed this miracle, but that Jesus nlono did it. Ho only claimed that it was through him that ii was uonoi inai uio angel long ago in formed him of it. Ho raucludeii his m. marks by saying that Jlfiss Greth would arise, dress, unci walk to church, whero sho would attend high mass. Ho therefore re quested tho spectators to leave tho room whilo -Visa Gretli prcian-d for tho final test ui mii-muug ciiiircu, ami praising uou lor her miraculous cure and bringing her back to life again. Nearly every body went to mo ciiun-u, wnero n largo crowd awalteit thooieningof the doois. On tho apiear ii uce of Viss Greth tho church was soon filled, and thoso who couldn't netiu could havo filled another small church. .Uiss iirelii wus accomunietl Irom tlio parsonage bv tho priest's sister. Sho was dressed in black, with her golden cross about her neck dazzling in the sunlight. She walked rap idly, looking straight forward. Nothing unusuui was uoiiceaoie aoout her except that sho looked ale. Whilo the anxious crown was awaiting admittance, several per sons wero trampled under foot. Every houso along tho street was a perfect show window of heads, from a baby's up to au old man's. Evcrvthini! was excitement. and every ono would approach tho other with, " Well, what do you think of tho manor 7- ii no chanced to oo a catholic, tho expression of his faeo was a sufficient index as to whether his faith was firm or not; if,on tho other hand, ho chanced to bo a Protestant, tho twinkle of his cyo was a barometer likely lo tell you at once how lit tle faith ho hud in the atluir.

On jon day, however, a Jferald and a Times re turner arrived here, and sinco then they havo given all the facts in tho caso worth mentioning. Tlio Philadelphia rejwrtcr was not allowed to interview Father Hei nan, ho having, as the Father said, misrep resented him iu tlio corresiKindence. Those whoso faith was so stronu at first Lava lnvti considerably shaken, and, among the Pro testants, no one believes it. On Wednesday afternoon Jiss Greth left for her homo at Reading, where, if the chooses, she can tell all she knows about the affair. We are in formed that Jfiss Greth was not allowed to tell anything of where her soul was or hr feelings whilo In that hour of ecstaoics. No reporter could elicit any thine. Thus end cd tho matter, just as it began, in notiuxo 1 77ic A'cio York Herald's version. Early on Saturday morning last, an ini menco crowd of people, assembled in and about tho resideneo of Rev. Father Heinan, iu tho bourogh of East Mauch Chunk, to witness the result of thealleged supernatural prophecy, and tho street was completely blockaded with men and women. In Iho sick room tho woman Gretli was apparently gradually failing. Sho was surrounded by watchers, who completely filled tho room and nearly the whole house. Father Hem an was also present performing tho offices of tho Church for tho dying. Miss Greth, it is said grew weaker and weakcrand at half past eight lay, indeed as If dead. Father Heinan then announced that tho soul had then quit tho body, leaving tho animal life iu it. He said that this was tho first part of the euro about lo bo nerformed, Ho wanted it distinctly understood that ho had no power in tho performance nf this work except that which ho received from on high, through tho name and by tho power oi uesus jurist. The peoplo in tho room were next directed to make a passago from tho door of the room io ino uou, anil inoso Who wero out sido the door and below stairs wero directed to enter the room, pass around tho bed and then go out by another door. It is estimated that over sc en hundred jicoplo saw the soulless (?) body of tho woman. There was, of course, the most intense excitement among tho jicoplo during tho wiiolo of this jicriod. At twenty-live minutes past nine, five minutes Leloro the expiration of the hour, silence was commanded, nnd Father Heinan said : "Now, I will call her." "Amelia I" ho then called iu a loud voice, Tlicro was however, no chaiigo in thecoun tenanco of tho woman. "Amelia," ho ro ealcd,and, as before, she remained mo tionless. "Amelia!" in a louder voice, cried Father Heinan. "Father." resnonded Miss Greth. nnd then she repeated a lew words of prayer. xueseeuo m mo room was at that moment indescribable. Tlio cxcileinentwnsuatiir.il- ly intense, and cries of joy and weeping wero heard on nil tides. Aliss Greth then asked forn shawl, and a ladv wiio stood by the bedsido took oil' her sealskin coat, anil put it around the woman as she by tho com mand of the priest arose. Father Heinan then turned to Iho woman and commanded her to talk lo no one nor permit any ono to talk to her until nflcr she had returned her thanks to God for His kiudness to her in the church. Sho then lnado her way to tlio sacred edifice, walking alono and quite rapidly, followed by an ex cited crowd, comprising hundreds ofjieoplc. When sho arrived at tho church Father Heinan preached two sermons, ono iu Ger man and ono in English. Tlio services last ed about two hours. After tho services Miss Greth returned lo herroom, apparently stiongnnd hearty. In response to many inqttiries'ui to her feelings ami emotions sno niailo tho lollowing state incut : I feelcntirely cured. Tho hemorrha'res of blood ceased on Thursday, and sinco that timo 1 havo ielt very weak and sick.

On Sunday Father Heinensenttliefollow ing "card" to tho New York Herald : Mavcii Chunk, Pa., Feb. 3, 1878. To iiir Eiuroii or the Herald; Miss Greth was colled out of ecstasies by miracu lous means. Slio was deathly sick and io 6torcd completely. Sho is now iu perfect health since. Miss Greth had hemorrhages from tho lungs twice and threo timo every day for about nino weeks. No physicians were call ed and no remedies wero used during her sickness. There was a multitudo of peoplo C resent when sho was cured and I don't now whether any physicians wero among them.

Thomas P. Fisher's Case. Tho Board of Tanlons met Tuesday night to consider the application for commutation of the death sentence of Thomas P. Fisher, of this county, to imprisonment for life. John W. llyon, of Pottsville, who defended nearly all tho Molly Maguires executed on tho 21st of Juno last, oppearod for tho cul prit, who will be hanged on the 20th of Feb ruary unless tho Board of Pardons should savo him from Iho gallows. Mr. llyon de clared that the conviction of Fisher was duo entirely to tho testimony of two men whoso souls wero stained with robbery and murder, and who, as a rewnnl for their statements, were given their liberty. Ho apjwalcd to tho Board to weigh theapplication carefully, as ho had received information, tho' truth of which could not bo questioned, that of tho six Molly Maguires hanged atPottsvillo ono (Thomas Duffy) was innocent of tho crimo for which ho was executed. Itwasin Duffy's caso that tho Governor's private secretary had a reprieve in his jncket ot Pottsvillo ready to bo extended to tho condemned in the event of nny of tbo five condemned to death exculpating him. Dolly's conviction rested almost entirely on tho testimony of Jimmy Kerrigan, who turned State's "ovi- iicnce to savo Ins own neck Iroin the gallows. Fisher is under sentciico of death for having been concerned iu tho murder of Morgan Powell, a inino boss, in 1871.

Feb. 0, 1878. Pkri ecIion Ttinl School Matter. Jin. Editor: I gather from a communi catcd article, in tho last edition of your ex cellent local paper, that somo interest is being taken in tho matter oi tho selection of School Directors nt tho coming election. This is as it should be. As residents of and taxpayers in Lehighton, and as parents having child ron to bo educatciZ in tho schools thereof, wo ought to bo as much interested in our borough election and bo as particular to dischanro our duty at tho iwlls as though n President oi mo u niieu eiaies was lo uo elected, Thooo of us who havo children to bo educa ted, should bo concerned as to who aro elec ted to manage the school affairs of tlio boro'. Wo only havo ono opportunity to cducato our children, and should, therefore, take good heed that persons aro elected to tlio responsible sitinn of School Directors who will go heart and soul for good schools, let old logics anil narrow-minded, ix-nurious property holders, who havo no children to educate, say what they will. Tho artielo of last week suggests to my mind tho idea that some parties, 1 know not who, aro interest ing themselves in this matter from a desire to gratify iersonal feeling, personal ambition or somo other selfish motive, rather than from real interest iu tho work of education in our midst. I should hope such was not tho case, though I fear it is. If it be bo they whom they may let them bo severely rebuked nt the polls. For school directors wo don't want mere office-seekers or persons who have somo selfish motive iu view, rather man llio promotion ot tho real inte rests of education in our midst. Rather let us choose men of intelligence who know tho north of schools and what good schools are; public, liberal-minded men, who will labor for the promotion of tho public interests rather than the trratification of private ends; enterprising, encrgetio men, who will go heart and 6oul for good schools, good teachers, and long terms, as well as good buildings. It would bo a shame and diszrace to us if. after what has been done iu tlio direction of school buildings, wo shall adopt tho "jwnny Wise, pound loolish" jwllcy of inforiir schools, cheap teachers, anil short terms. j.ui, iny picco is long enough; 1 want sim ply to add that, if tho principles herein ad vocated aro correct, it will bo a calamity to tho school interests of this borough if wo ol low tho present treasurer of tho School Board, to whom wo ore bo lamely indebted for tho present good character of ourschools, as well as for tho existence of our beautiful school building) and whoso term is about to expire, to bo sujierseiled by any ono lees coin ietent iu every respect than lie. And, if wo don't want to do that, wo must suiier sedo him 1 y himself. Iu fact, wouldn t it lio well to let well enough alone, and re elect tho two outgoing directors, who aro in telligent, capable, and reliablo men ? Feb. 0, 1818. Taxi'aveb. Public Sales.
