The Moravian Chnrch. The Independent thinks that the Mo Me ravian church in this country suffers from the illiberal control of the Unity Elders' Conference, which sits in Ger many as the head of the church, as well as from like unwisdem iu the government of the Provincial Elders' Conference, which is the supreme authority here. This is a natural opinion for a journal of the Independent's view en church gev ernment, and there may be substance in it. Ferhaps the Moravian church would grew mere luxuriantly if its individual churche3 were less restrained ; and if the only aim of a church is growth, it must be admitted that the Moravian has been a failure. The eldest of Protestant churches is one of the smallest. The Methodist, an infant offshoot from it, has covered the land, while the parent tree stands only in scattered places. But it must be remem bered that the Moravian idea has net been te proselyte where ether churches are preselyting, but te go off into the by-places of the world te pick up the sheep that have no shepherd. It has been a missionary church and its idea still is that its disciples must Le ready, if their hearts are (it for the charge they have assumed, te go where it seems meet they shall be sent. Of late years it has seemed te the mere progress ive men of the church that it cannot stand still without danger of atrophy in the race among the churches. It does net suit the keen American spirit net te seek te increase and multiply. The Ger-, man spirit is slower and less progressive. but the German control of the American church is tee slender te affect it much. And the brethren here have been be. stirring themselves of late with effect. One of their Churches in Philadelphia has just betaken itself te the Reformed Episcopal denomination, but it affords no signification of decay in the Moravian church, since its pastor was its builder, having married a rich wife who enabled him te enjoy the luxury of a church all his own, and the further one of being his own master. There is no doubt that he has freer scope te fellow his own de vices in the Reformed Episcopal church than in the Moravian, into which we believe moreover that he was net born, but came into it by the adoption of a pious Moravian lady, who educated him for the ministry. The ether clergyman, whose defection the Independent cites as a sign of Moravian decadence, is of an old Moravian family, but he went into the ministry without the missionary spirit which it demands, and when lie was ordered out into the wilderness te de his work as pastor, he could net sec that it was his duty te de anything se disagreeable. These men left the Mo ravian church because they lacked the humility and subordination required of its workers. They had tee much money te have enough grace, and their going illustrates nothing but the fact that it is easier for a camel te get through a very small hole than for a rich man te be content in an humble pul pit ; and that therefore Count Zinzen Zinzen derfs are scarce even among Meravians. The Independent has no fair ground for the apprehension that this small falling away is a sign of a general exodus. The Moravian church is in a remarkably vigorous condition and premises te grew and prosper. The Yorktown Celebration. The foreign and domestic visiteis te Yorktown seem te have scampered away from the place, after the abridged pro pre gramme of exercises had concluded, as rapidly as legs and beats would carry them. A great many of them, tee, are prone te pronounce Yorktown a delusion and a snare, and its centennial celebra tion an abomination and a fraud. The railroad that was te have carried pas sangers te the place, and for transit ever which thousands of tickets had been sold in different sections of the country, is being finished only new that the cele bration is ever and when nobody of tin's or the next generation will ever want te go te Yorktown ; the hotel that was te have been built for the accommodation of guests is yet in pro cess of erection ; the centennial commis sion that was te have managed the affair, and which get held of the gov ernment appropriation, has net turned up anywhere ; the beats that carried down state officials and troops Avere se crowded with anxious deadheads that they could net transport fresh meat for the civilians, and the militia men had te be packed away in the held like sardines, te dream enviously of the croquettes and champagne which the seasick sen ators feasted en in their minds. Every body, from the newspaper accounts, went te Yorktown expectant, stayed there in dignant, and came away disgusted. Net much else could have been ex pected from the senseless undertaking of holding such a celebration as was pro jected in that remote and inaccessible place, without any resident population te support it or any efficient and respensi -ble management te conduct it. Had the local celebration been by proxy, and the foreign visitors been taken under convey of an American ship te the his toric snot, and the real celebration been held in Richmond or "Wash ington, it would have been a far greater success, and every geed pjr pjr pese had in view could have been served. Indeed, it hardly seems fair that the whole round of centennial cele brations should have passed without a visitation of any of them upon "Wash ington, the capital of the country, its political centre, and rapidly becoming its most beautiful and attractive city. However, its timers approaching when the long delayed "Washington monument shall be completed and its municipal centennial comes around. Fer all its drawbacks and disadvan tages and humbugs, the Yorktown cele bration was net a failure entire. There was a convocation of the people from all sections of the country, whose association with each ether and with the people of the Seuth, was net unfruitful of geed ; many of the visitors made their trip the occasion of visits te Richmond and ether Southern points and of in telligent investigation into the resources, the disposition and the prospects of the Seuth. The effect of the courtesies shown te France, Germany and even te England, cannot fail te be geed abroad and at home. The eloquence of the occasion will live in type and pos sibly read better than it sounded, and be mere highly appreciated by coming gen erations than the one te which it was addressed. The Yorktown centennial may have cost mere in money and in the provocations te bad temper than it came te, but it was net utterly in vain. An Outrage. What were councils thinking about when they authorized the new telegraph company poles te be planted en our streets? It is very doubtful whether the city authorities have power te sanc tion this use of the streets, which are made for travel, net te be blocked with telegraph pele3. Any citizen upon whose property these nuisances stand has, as we believe, the right te cut them down, the councils' permission te the contrary notwithstanding. But that body ought te be ashamed te have consented that our streets should be se outrageously en cumbered as they are by the enormous wooden poles which have been erect ed. In Philadelphia slender iron notes, that take up little mere room than awning pests, have been put up, and the same kind should be required here. The new telegraph company has just been shown by its secret agreement with its contractor te have agreed te pay twice as many million dollars for the work te be done as it will cost ; the con tractors agreeing te provide the right of way and te pay every ether item of ex pense. They ought te be made by the landowners te pay for the privilege of putting up their poles ; and the least the city can de is te demand the erection of iron ones. Let it be done before the wires are strung. At a well attended meeting of the Democratic county committee this morn ing, and after some deliberation, it was unanimously resolved te print no judi ciary ticket for the party in the county at the coining election. Anetiieu type-setting machine is in cluded among the list of patents issued during last week.

Cl.ykk Bkaii:. proposes te deal with Beb Iugcrsell as ruthlessly as the arch infidel mangles Moses and the prophets.

Before lcvicwing his lectures Braden relates the story of Iugcrsell's youth and young man- noed, and a mere revolting picture of filial ingratitude, personal debauchery, drunkenness, blasphemy and dishonor it would be hard te draw.

C, which appeared in sample copies in the early part of the summer, new comes before the reading public a3 a regular and permanent journalistic institution, of six tacn double columns, well printed pages.

The need of a high-toned, scholarly and fearless Democratic weekly, devoted te criticism, has been felt in Washington, and the Reg ister p: onuses te fill the bill. What de you think of this story Tyncr tells? that " net only he did net attempt te withheld any information as te what he learned respecting the star route swindle in the West two years age, but that he embodied his conclusions iu a report iu order that the posteffice department might take action concerning them, that he presented this report as any ether report is presented, te his superior officer, Judge Key, then Postmaster-General ; that the latter, after reading it, returned it te Mr. Tyncr with the request that he lock it up in his safe, and with a state ment that he (Judg Key) did net care te go into an investigation at that time, be cause it would hurt the party ; that Mr. Hayes also had knowledge of the dis covery of Tyncr, and that for reasons which he never made public he also did net care te make the investigation ; that, moreover, when Postmaster General James came into the office Mr. Tyner himself handed his report te James, and it was from this report that James obtained his first authentic knowledge as te the star route ring. - Beth ends of the poker seem te be het.

It requires no great strctcii of imagination en the part of the St. Leuis Glebe-Democrat te detect the same peculiarity in the eloquent orator's new diatribe in the North American Re- view.

Bird's "Hymn Notes,'' New Yerk Independent. A venerable and honored lady of Lan caster, Pa , kindly sends me confirmation of the story of "I would net live alway," as lately given in these Notes, with a cor rection of one item therein. After ex pressing surprise that the persons inter ested in the matter "had never sought information from the friends of the par ties in Lancaster, where the circumstances were perfectly w.cll-knewn," she adds : " It is net surprising that Dr. M. should have buried in his own besom the love affair, a subject which must have bceu painful and most mortifying te him xwith xwith eut any blame attaching te him). I am well acquainted with all the particulars of it, as well as -the circumstance of the writ ing of the poem. It was first written in the album you allude te, and it was during the period of his entanglement with Miss . I read it seen after it was written, and, admiring it extremely, took a copy of it from the album. This was in 1824. The stanzas, as written in the al bum nm in six lines : "I would nei live alway, live alway below." "The story that Miss 'took it te heart and died in consequence ' (i. e., of the rupture of her engagement te Muhlen berg, net of his writing the poem) is purely romance She did die from the effects of a neglected cold ; but it was well known that she never se took the matter te heart as te let it prey upon her feelings. I speak of what I knew of the incidents at the time." I own te a certain regret that se pretty a talc should be spoiled. It would have been much mere picturesque for Miss te die of a broken heart than of a mere vulgar cold ; and thus Muhlenberg would have had se much selider reason for writ ing the hvnin and living and dying a bachelor. But magna Veritas ct, pretalebit. We will admit remautic narratives te these columns only en what seems geed evidence, and whenever the needle of truth punctures a pleasing but inflated tale we shall be prompt te admit the fact aud abandeu the fair delusion. My previous informant was of the male sex. Only fem inine acutencss may decide 011 the real state of a lady's heart, whether te day or sixty years age. Se, then, "I would net alway " must be placed among Hymns of the Willow, whereof some account is given in this journal six years age. If the regrets which called it forth were net of the loftiest natuie (se far as their basie in facts might go), at least they were several pegs above these from which was born the grandest of Jehn Wesley's lyrics : "Theu hidden love or Ged, whose hight. Whose depth, tinfat henied, no man knewb. " Te the real Christian even being jilted may become a man of grace. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. TI11S SHID-PLER. Seme Hietntlc.il Keinlniscences of a Lecal fire Company. Under the caption of " A Famous Fire Company," the Fireman's Journal ofdate leth October, a New Yerk publication specially devoted te the interest of the Arc men, has the following account of the rise aud growth of one of our local volunteer fire organizations : ' ' The Shililer fire company of Lancaster, Penn., was organized in 1852 by boys rang ing iu age from fifteen te seventeen years. The first thing in the shape of a carriage owned by them was a small affair built by a man named Smith, son of the colored housekeeper of Thaddeus Stevens, and upon this they carried hydrant hose. An old barn at the feet of Thaddeus Stevens' let served as a house, and the boys called their company the Independent. In less than three months after their organization they purchased the "Crab" reel from the Washington hese company of Philadelphia, the Sun hose company generously giving them housing for their carriage. They new changed their name 'te Fulton, although they wanted te call it Shililer, but feared te go en the streets for subscriptions te an organization bearing a name se repugnant te the Catholic clement of this as well as of every ether American city at that time. " In 1854 there was a large accession of elder men te the membership, among them Thaddeus Stevens, who was at ence elected president aud retained the position te the hour of his death. The elder element in the company insisted upon changing the same te Fulton, which they did, and the younger men, becoming indignant,vwithdrew. Iu less than six months the hose carriage steed in a chicken coop. In the spring of 1855 " the originals" hauled out their ap paratus and called it the Shinier, and in less than ene year from that date the com pany owned a comfortable hese house. They continued te prosper and grew in membership aud material wealth until in 1SGS they built their present fire house. In 1871 they received as gifts two very hand hand hand seme hose carriages ene from the Shifiler, Ne. 32, and the ether from the Spring Garden, Ne. SO, of Philadelphia, besides trumpets and ether valuables, which theso companies had no further use for when the volunteer system was abolished in Phila delphia. Iu 1871 they 'had built for them a third-class steamer. Since calling them selves the ShilScr company they have never had any difficulty in maintaining their or ganization save at ene period of the war, when 110 of their number were volunteer Union soldiers. "Upen the death of Mr. Stevens, Uen.O. J. Dickey, who also became the successor of the old commoner in Congress, became president, retaining the office until his death, when Geerge 31. Franklin, a mem ber of the Lancaster bar, became president and se remains te-day." They Don't Want the Prize. The Norristown Register has the follow ing : " At the Reading tournament the Montgomery hese and steam fire engine company of Norristown were awarded the first prize for appearances and the second prize for equipments. In the matter of appearance a committee of ladies were the judges, and the prize is accepted as an act of courtesy te this committee. But the Montgomery members are at a less te knew hew they can receive first prize for appearances and only stand second with regard te equipments, claiming that equip ments make the appearance, and, there fore, at an adjourned stated meeting en Thursday evening, it was unanimously agreed net te accept the second prize. The members seem te forget that ladies de net judge beauty by the clothing that covers it. When they said fine appearanee they meant form and facial perfection." Sale el Heal Estate.

In the course of the debate en this subject Rev. Dr. C. W. Stewart, of Colerain, this county, said that the scheme of consolidation of synods, as prepared by the General Assembly, was perfectly understood net only by the pres byteries but by the synod, aud therefore it was tee late te attempt te overthrew the action of the Geueral Assembly. Under the present system the presbyteries are net properly represented, but by consolidation and a representative delegation, the church would be better served in every re spect. In conclusion he moved that the minority report be laid upon the table. This motion caused considerable excite ment, aud after points of order had been decided, the niotiea te lay en the table was voted down. At 4 o'clock p. m., the synod adjourned until Monday, when the discus sion upon the subject of the new synod was continued. East Pennsylvania EMersliip of the Church or Ged.

The large manufacturers who are the main takers of this tobacco are seemingly sup plied for the present, and the approach of the dull season ( quite problematic as it is yet thought) keeps them away from the market, mere is no doubt that every particle el the '80 Pennsylvania crop will be out of the market before the '81 is fit te be manipulated ; holders being cogni zant of this, show no anxiety te get rid of their stocks. Of the ether '80 crops little is iu the market ; there arc as yet te be had several packings of New Yerk state, but they are either useless or held at tee high a figure. The reports as te the '81 crop continue favorable from all quarters. The reported rejection of 2,000 cases '80 New Yerk state, sold and noted in these columns a few weeks age, is forming the topic of conversation in the market as we go te press. This rejection is another and severe blew te the existing doubtful repu tation of this crop. The sales of the week we specify as fol fel lows : Connecticut Crep '80 : 2,500 cases ; mostly wrappers, at 27 te 45 cents. Pennslvania Crep '80 : 800 cases ; tiue running, 23 cents ; medium, 15 te 18 cents. Ohie Crep '80: 300 cases ; 8 te 11 cents. Wisconsin Crep 'SO ; 175 cases, p. t. New Yerk State Crep '80 : 250 cases ; 12 te 14 cents. Havana Market moderately active ; sales about 700 bales, mostly '80 ; prices firm. Gaus Repert. Sales of seed leaf tobacco reported by J. S.

Mr. Aaren Teller, the commission leaf broker, of Lancaster, who last week re covered $110 en a transaction in tobacco between parties he was .instrumental in in troducing, celebrated the event by spend ing the spoils in a "feed," te which many of the leading cits were invited.

The Republicans had a mceliug iu Ephrata en Saturday. That is thev tried te have. They did net have it. There was nobody there except the candidate. Gen. Baity, the eloquent orators aud about 10 people. There was tee much oratory for the audience ; or tee little au dience for the orators. Yeu can put it cither way. Iu this year of grace 1881 it reads the same way backwards or for wards. Ben. Wisslcr, candidate for register; W. K. Seltzer, late third term delegate te Chicago; Ed. Mus ser au: J. A. Stebcr, ex-rabbit law legislator aud candidate for Legislature, were there. They sent the band up and down the village te drum up recruits, but they did net come. When the meeting opened, besides the orators, and a few curious Democrats, there were net twenty persons present. M. Brosius, esq., made a speech an hour long and nearly as wide. Mr. Brosius seared into Aristotle and sounded the depth et plantation philosophy, "he soaked with old Secrates, ripped with Erupidies and cantered with Cantharidcs." But the people did net understand him. Mr. Baily, Republican candidate for state treasurer, made a short and mere telling speech. This is what he said, verbatim : "Fellow Citizens : I am glad te mectyeu. But I can't make a spscch. I don't intend te make a speech. I never did make a speech and 1 never will make a speech They say the bosses nominated me for state treasurer. .New if you want te see me I'll see you alone, and explain all about this and will be glad te shake hands with you." An itinerant political preacher named Van Note pronounced the benediction. In explanation of the failure of the meeting the local bosses told the eloquent visitors that it was felly te make a meet ing when the people was husking corn. Se it was But an old inhabitant mere satisfactorily explained the caused of the failure when he said : " Die Republican party hut der Wolf em swantz." (" The Republican party has the Wolf in the tail.") .SUDDEN DEATH. A Man Dreps Over in a Cern Field. Isaac Shaeffer was engaged last Friday afternoon husking corn for Henry Geed, about one-half mile south of Bareville, when he was seen te fall ever suddenly by some of the persons who were working with him. Upen iaising him up they found that he was dead. An inquest was held by Deputy Corener Isaac Hull, and after an examination of the body by Dr. J. B. Kehler, the jury found that his death was caused by disease of the heart. Mr. Shaef fer was about G5 years old, married and leaves a wife but no children. Alleged Inhuman Treatment. Mrs. Frank Farrcll, whose husband is new an inmate of the Lancaster county hospital, complains that he receives brutal treatment in that institution. She says she called te see him ou Friday and found his head, face and body badly bruised, as she believes, lrem a club in the hands of one of the men who has him in charge. Mrs. Farrell says further that she knows the name of the keeper guilty of this mal treatmentand thinks seriously of bringing complaint against him before a magis trate, in which event a fnll investigation of the circumstances will in all probabil ity be had. Stoic Robbed. The store of Herr & Bre., West Willow, this ceuuty, was entered and robbed last night. The money drawer, containing ever $20, was forced, and about $12.50 taken the thieves for some unaccountable reason leaving behind about $8.

The goods in the store were a geed deal thrown about and disordered, but none of them appear te have been stolen. The store, which belongs te C. S. aud H. S. Herr, was robbed once belore recently. MORE INCENDIARISM. J. tt. KAUr.UANV BARN UUUSKD. Knapp'a Brewery Damaged 3Insketnus Smith 8bep Burned uut Uuurell' stable Lighted. About half-past eight o'clock last nigh? a large frame barn, situated ou Grant street, between Duke and Lime, and be longing te J. 1. Kaufman, esq., was set ea fire and burned te the ground. TU lower story of the building was divider! into a stable, carriage house and black smith shop, and the upper portion was stored with hay. straw, a sleijih and a few ether articles. The lire was discovered by members of the Lancaster M;ennercher. whose hall is in Lawrence Knapp's build ing, adjoining Mr. Kaufman's property. An alarm was at ence raised aud the mem bers of the Mainnorcher succeeded in forcing open the doers of the stable and carriage house and rescuing the horse, a family carriage, buggy, harness and a few ether articles. The blacksmith shop, oc cupied by Samuel Muskctnusa, was also hastily opened, and his fan blower aud a few ether perishable articles were get out. The flames spre.'d with amazing rapidity among the dry timbers, and combustible contents of the barn, and, although the n" emeu were very soeu en the ground, thev Could de little mero than te keep the llimes tijni spreading te adjoining prop erties. The :?' . aml its contents, includ ing a family sleigu, a ten of hay.a couple el barrels of eats, a few lacksmith tools and some ether aiti.Ies were a'''"') The reef of a back building 01. . lr" .J?" man's let was partly burned off, a 1.. - ' of fruit trees were badly singed aud a panels of fence separating Mr. Kaufman's and Judge Patterson's properties were burned. The grass in Judge Patterson's. sedded let was burned close te the ground. Mr. Kaufmau's less is perhaps $700, en which there is an insurance ou the baru of $300 in the Westchester insurance com pany of New Yerk. The coeliug room of Mr. Knapp's brew cry was damaged -somewhat, the lattice windows en the east end being burned out, the plate reef somewhat damaged and one of the lattice w indews en the north end being knocked out for the purpese of in troducing water. Mr. Knapp's les will be from $50 te $75 aud is covered by insur ance. Sparks from the burning building set fire te the shiugle reef of a lratnu back building attached te Rev. Dr. J. Y. Mitch ell's residence, but was extinguished be fore any dainace was done. The brick residences en Grant street, opposite the burning bain were somewhat scorched and blistered by the iutense heat. The fire wan beyond doubt the work of an iucendiary, who probably jumped the fence at the 1 ear end of Mr. Kauumaifs. let aud applied the match through aii open window. Seme of the Mienuereher people say they smclled the odor of coal oil when they liist discovered the lire. In this connection it may be added that there was a report a week ae that an at tempt had been made te iiru Mr. Kaufman's barn. A representative of the Intelligence!: went te sje Mr. Kaufman about it and was shown through the premises. Mr. Kaufman was net certain that the attempt had been made, but stated that one of his neighbors told him that a man was seen en Sunday afternoon, a wecic age, te strike a mateh along side the barn aud then jump ever the fence aud ran oil". The premises were at once examined and the only evidence of an attempt te lire the place was that three partly burned matches were found in the blacksmith shop, which could have been entered through open window. Mr. Muskctnuss, tin: blacksmith, was also in terviewed, aud said he was of the opinion that no attempt te fire the premises had been made; that the burned uiatcuu might have been used by himself or some semo some ono else in the shop te light a cigar, and then been thrown en the lluer. Seme of the firemen complain, that when the fire plugs were opened last night, they were found .te be clogged with mud, which had te be forced through their hese before the water could be threwu en the flames. Attempt te Fire .1 -ether Uuildlug. Soen after the fire ;;. Kaufmau's stable began it was discovered fiat the stable of" Maj. C. M.

Storm feltz, of the Friendship fire company, was running down this street en his way te the big lire, when he saw lire at the southeast corner of Majer Hewell's stable. He quickly ran up and extinguished it before any damage had been done, except the burning of a small hole in the beards. The parties who set the stable en fire stuffed a let of dry straw from the manure pile en the outside under the corner of the building and then ap plied the match. When they heard 3lr. Stermfeltz coming they ran, leaving be hind a cane, which was found sticking in the manure heap and is new in Majer Hewell's possession. liA.KUALI... College 15 Nermal IO.
