Court Proceedings
Tuesday Afternoon.—Court met at 2.1.
o'clock.
The case of James Carr, charged with the
larceny of a watch from James Roseboro,
and a pistol from Edward L. Roseboro,
was resumed. Defendant was tried on both
charges at the same time, and found guilty.
Sentence was deferred.
John Strimmel plead guilty to the lar
ceny of a Colt's pistol from— Livingston,
and was sentenced to five months' impris
onment in the County Prison.
A crazy colored individual from Colum
bia, named Isaac Bosly, better known as
" Laughing Isaac," was arraigned for inde
cent exposure of his person. Several Nit
nesses were examined, from whose testi
mony it was proved that his insanity was
of such a degree, as to be unsafe to permit
him to go at large. A verdict of not guilty
was returned by the jury, on the plea of
insanity. Several suggestions were given
by members of the bar as to the proper
disposition of Isaac, after which the Court
ordered him to be remanded to prison for
the present.
Com'th vs. Ezra B. Fritz. Fornication
and bastardy. The prosecutrix, Frances
Ross, di I not appear, and several terms
having already elapsed since the complaint
was made, a no/. pros. was entered.
Catharine Farley, William Gordon and
Ms rgaret Gordon, respectively charged with
surety of the peace, were the next cases
heard. These parties reside in close prox
imity to each other in the borough of
Columbia, and, judging from the testimony
of each other, there were neither of them a
pattern for morality or good order. Cath
arine Farley was sentenced to give security
in the sum of $2OO for her good behavior for
six mouths, and pay costs of prosecution.
Margaret Gordon was sentenced to ply
the costs of suit brought by Mrs. Farley.
The complaint against William was dis
missed.
Com' th vs. J. M. Whitehill. Selling liquor
on Sunday. The testimony in this case was
somewhat contradictory; some of the wit
nesses swearing positively that both the
proprietor and his bar-keeper sold liquor
regularly on Sundays, while others, board
ers at the house and acquaintances, testified
that they had seen liquor drank on the
premises on Sundays, but were not positive
that they had ever seen it paid for. The
defendant keeps a hotel at Marietta. A Fier
the evidence was all submitted, Court ad
journed until 7 o'clock, P. M.
Tuesday Evenina.—Court met at 7 o'clock.
The case of J. M. Whitehill, charged with
selling liquor on Sunday, was proceeded
with. The case was submitted to the jury,
who returned into Court shortly a fterwards,
but their verdict was not announced until
after the jury empanneled to try the same
defendant for keeping a gambling house
had retired.
The same defendant in the above case was
charged with keeping rooms for gambling
purposes in his hotel at Marietta. Pending
the hearing of this case the Court adjourned.
Wednesday 211 - w:ning.- - The
gambling ease was concluded by the jury
returning a verdict of guilty, and a ver
dict of guilty was also returned against the
same person, charged with selling liquor
on Sunday.
Henry Newcomer plead guilty to selling
liquor without a license. Sentenced to
pay twenty dollars fine and costs.
Cum. vs. B. F. Vandever. Charged with
the larceny of a buy inure from Ettla,
and selling it. The parties live in Marietta.
The testimony was that Ettla had placed
his mare with a man who lived about three
miles front Marietta tor pasturage sometime
in 19;2 or 'iii and that Vandever got it from
him by souse mewls, and exchanged or sold
it for a black horse (keeping the profits),
without Ettla's approval or consent. The
defence proved, however, that the mare
was in Vandever's possession with Ettla's
permission; that he saw it daily in the de
fendant's employ, and that its sale by him
was authorized by Ettla. It appeared, also,
that there had been an unsettled account
between the parties of some time standing,
and that Vandever had offered to settle tor
the value 'of the horse. The jury returned
a verdict of not guilty.
Court adjourned till t o'clock P. M
Wednesday Afternoon.-Coin. vs. Frederick
Haas. Plead guilty to two charges of sell
ing liquor to minors and on Sunday. The
usual sentence given. Another case of the
same nature was disposed of in a similar
Com. vs. Mary Delaine Laveeny. The
defendant, a handsome lady, with curls,
was charged with stealing $132 in silver
from Geo. \Vire, an easy looking German
of Hellaui township, York county. The
defendant went to live with him from Ma
rietta, and during his absence front home
on the-Fourth of July, she broke open the
chest and stole the amount stated. She
confessed her guilt as to-about half the sum,
but the case was very strong against her,
the jury coming to a verdict without re
tiring, and poor Mary was found guilty,
and consigned to the Sheriff's charge for
two years and four months.
Coin. vs. John Yeager and \ s m. Gensley.
This was a case of outrageous larceny, a
wholesale stealing of bouts, shoes, dry
goods, calicoes, grain bags, horse blankets,
sheets, table cloths, linens, surueying in
struments and an indefinite quantity of
minor articles. The indictments were al
most innutnerable. The parties live in
Manheim township. Suspicions were ex
cited against them, a search warrant issued
and the goods found in their possession,
some concealed in the garret, and others in
a well in the yard. The goods were taken
to 'Squire Burkholder's and identified by
residents of Manheim and adjoining town
ships as their property. The stealing has
been going on for the last year. The pris
oners were mild, inoffensive-looking Ger
mans, but a bad heart is often covered by a •
fair exterior, and by " their fruits they were
known." The jury, without retiring, or
much delay, gave a verdict of guilty. They
plead guilty to some of the charges, and
were sentenced to nearly twelve years
apiece in the penitentiary.
It is to be most sincerely hoped that their
case will serve as an example to present
.and future participants in crimes of tins
nature, as they must learn that the extrem
ity of the law is awaiting them, and [lnn
though they may remain undetected fir
awhile, yet cinannstances will soon point
out their guilt.
Com, vs. John IC rebbs. Larceny of watch
es and other articles. The prisoner, it ap
pears, set up one night with a man in Co
lumbia who had his leg taken off. He dis
appeared in the morning, taking along with
him the stolen property. He plead guilty
to the charges, and was sentenced to two
years and ten months' imprisonment.
Court adjourned till 7 o'clock Y. M.
Wednesday Evening.—Coot. vs. Thomas
Neely. Charged with passing or attempt
ing to pass altered one dollar notes on the
l‘lontgoniely County Bank. The notes had
been altered to the denomination of ten dol
lar bills. The defendant is from the lower
end of York county, and is a drover and
dealer in stock generally. His defence was
that he had received the money in exchange
at the Bull's Head Hotel in Philadelphia,
though he did not know the person any
more from whom he had received the bills.
He.was nut aware that it was bad money.
He offered the money at Copeland's Res
taurant, in this city, and passed a bilLon one
Donelson. On searching him four hundred
dollars in good money was found upon his
person, and about twenty-five dollars in
counterfeit fitly cent postal currency. He
made no resistance to the search, but said
there was no more bad money about him
and offered to redeem what he had passed.
A large number of very respectable wit
nesses from York county, and in the vicin
ity of his residence, testified to his previous
very good character. The jury' were direct
ed, before retiring, to bring in a sealed ver
dict in the morning.
Thursday Morning.—The jury in the
Neely case, returned a sealed verdict of
not guilty.
The case of James Carr, convicted of for
gery at the August term, was sentenced to
pay $3O and costs, and eighteen months in
the Eastern Penitentiary. He was also con
victed of larceny at this court term and
sentenced to two years in the Eastern Peni
tentiary.
Com. vs.RosinaTuefel. Receiving stolen
-goods. A German woman, with a stdphu
name, was charged with receiving stolen
goods from Maltby et Case's store, in Co-
lumbia. The goods were fotirid in her pos
session, in a bureau, in the house she occu
pied,- after suspicions had been excited and
search instituted. On the officer discovering
the goods,she said that she hadbought about
one hundred and twenty dollars worth of
goods at Philadelphia, a year and a half be
fore, when goods were low, and these were
among them. But on the goods being re
cognized as similar to some found in a Mrs.
Shorter's possession, (a neighbor's,)she said
that she had bought them from her for
twenty , dollars. This discrepancy in her
statements was rather injurious to her story.
The jury returned a verdict of not guilty.
Corn. vs Henry S. Howard. Assault and
battery. Michael G. Landis swore that as
he and a man named Farrell were coming
out of the side show at the circus, on the
22pd of September, in the afternoon, How
ard, who was in company With a lady, gave
him a push, and afterwards at the corner of
Plumb and Chesnut streets, Howard came
up to him and swore, saying that he had
insulted his wife. Landis denied the asser
tion. He afterwards struck Landis with
his fist, also hit him on the head with his
cane eight or ten times, raising more lumps
than was usual on the intelligent cranium of
the plaintiff. Landis was not drunk and
had done nothing to insult either Howard
or his lady.
The defence was that Landis tore the
lady's dress in the circus, using vulgar ex
pressions and insulting language, and hit
Howard very severely on the back. How
ard was, of course, incensed, and seizing
Landis by the neck laid him across his knee
and gave the soft and impressible part of
his nature, where "wounds honor more
than break bones," a very good drubbing
with a small rattan. The testimony was
quite laughable.
The jury then retired with directions to
bring in a sealed verdict in the afternoon.
Adjourned till 2,1 o'clock, P. M.
'Thursday Afternoon.—The jury brought
in a verdict of guilty in the Howard assault
and battery case. Sentenced to pay a fine
of ten dollars and costs.
In the case of Michael Kerns charged
with selling liquor without a license, he
plead guilty and was sentenced to fifteen
days imprisonment and fifteen dollars fine.
Com'th vs. William Campbell. Assault
and Battery. This was a tight arising out
of the late election. The testimony for the
Commonwealth was that Michael Flynn,
the plaintiff, in coMpany • with Thaddeus
Williamson went to Dr. Osborn's Beer Sa-
1, in safe Harbor, on the night of the
10th of November and met Campbell Mere,
when Flynn remarked, " we have whipped
you William." "Yes" was the reply, "but
vote a white nian's ticket," whereupon
there was some swearing and Flynn and
Williamson were seemingly about to at
tack Campbell, who ran behind the counter,
procured a gun and struck Flynn over the
shoulder. The defence was that Flynn was
a bad character ; that he had come to Os
born's that evening for a tight, and that
Campbell fearing an attack from both him
and Williamson used the gull as a protector,
but did not strike. A counter action for
breach of the peace was brought by Camp
bell againlit Flynn, on account of the threats
against his person and property. lie was
bound over in one hundred dollars to keep
the peace for six months. The jury return
ed a verdict of not guilty and defendant to
pay the costs of prosecution.
Julius Felty plead guilty to a charge of
larceny and was sentenced to six months'
imprisonment and costs.
Com'th VS. George Yoder. Embezzle
nent and Larceny. The defendant, a boy
about sixteen, was in the employ of J.
Middleton Whitehill as clerk in his saloon
in Marietta last July. Mr. W. had noticed
that the money in the drawer was getting
smaller, and his suspicions were excited.
He marked sonic notes (postal currency)
and discovered some of them in the boy's
pocket book. He was not discharged for
several weeks afterward, and acknowl
edged before the 'Squire that he had taken
the money. The defence aimed to show
that the boy took the money,insthe presence
of other persons; that there was no con
cealment in his actions; that he was al
lowed to use the till, and that he acknowl
edged to have taken the money, though he
said he had not taken enough ; that White
hill still owes him twenty-eight dollars.—
Whitehill did not give him money when he
asked him for it, as he said he couldn't
afford it, as he had taxes to pay, &e. He
retained Yoder even after he had discovered
the marked money upon him, fearing, as
he said, he should be left without any one
to take care of his saloon. The counsel for
the defence were particularly eloquent in
their addresses to the jury. Verdict di
rected to be brought in in the evening.
James M. Whitehill was sentenced to pay
a tine of twenty dollars for selling liquor
on Sunday and twenty days' imprisonment,
and for keeping a gambling house he was
sentenced to pay ten dollars tine and under
go ten days imprisonment.
Court adjourned till 7 o'clock.
Tiller&lug Erening.—Com'th vs. John
Fisher. Three counts against the defen
dant, viz: Selling liquor to minors, selling
liquor on Sundays, and keeping a gambling
house. The defendant lived at McCall's
Ferry, on the Lancaster county side of the
river previous to April 13134, before which
the counts date. He was found guilty.
Com'th vs. Eliza J. Griffith. Larceny.—
The defendant was charged by Mr. Swisher,
of Colerain township, with stealing a pair
of gaiters and boys' shoes about the 211th of
last May from his store. She was a poor
girl and lived with a married sister equally
poor. Being in bad health at the time she
was induced by her sister to confess to the
larceny, or else be turned out of doors and
thus rendered homeless. Mr. Swisher did
not appear to have any bad feelings against
the girl, and himself and others testified to
her previous good character. The jury re
i turned a verdict of not guilty without rc-
Adjourned till Friday morning.
Friday Morning.—The jury in the case of
Eliza J. Griffith, indicted for larceny, re
turned a verdict of not guilty.
A verdict of not guilty was also returned
in the case of Geo. Yoder.
Com' th vs. Michael Callahan. Felonious
assault and battery on his wife, Mary. The
affair took place at the Poor House, where
Michael, an impulsive Irishman, under the
influence of some sort of excitement or in a
fit of jcalon,y, attacked his loving wife and
attempted !o cut her throat. If he did this
from jealousy, it was almost an unpardon
able sin, or he was certainly insane, as her
appearance is by no means enticing, and is
such as not to warrant the least fastidious
in attempting to undermine her virtue, and
she will doubtless be forever left severely
alone on that account. The defence argued
that he was laboring under temporary in
sanity produced from too much of the "ar
dent" at the time of the offence. The jury
sustained the defence, and the Court bound
him over for six months to keep the peace.
Conith. vs. John E. Evans. Larceny.
The property stolen was a gray horse,
which it appeared on examination was the
real property of a Samuel A. Butz, of Le
high county, though the charge was brought
against Evans by Charles Tyson, of Mont
gomery county; the horse had been evi
dently stolen twice. , Mr. Butz lost his horse
on the 12th of August, anu Tyson, who got
it in some way, had it taken from him on
the 9th of October. An adveitisement in
serted in the papers directed his attention
and the horse was found in Evans' posses
sion on October 12. He stopped with it at
Wm. Rea's stables, in this city, and claim
ed it as his own, offering to sell it to several
persons. Tyson identified on October 14.
The point raised by the District Attorney
that the property belonged to Butz, and that
it only required a change in the names to
carry on the trial, was sustained by the
Court. Evans was found guilty and sen
tenced to pay $lOO fine and undergo 6 years
impris , anment in the Eastern Penitentiary.
Com' th vs. Levi Marshall. Larceny of a
watch. On the 21st of August Mr. Duch
mah lost his watch at Jonathan Sprecher's
Hotel, in this city. He was standing at the
bar talking, and while there some wrang
ling took place. His watch worth fifteen
dollars was jerked out of his pocket. Mar
shall was standing by his side at the time.
Rachman got it from Geo. Fryberger sev
eral weeks after; it had been sold to him by
the defendant. It was seen in Marshall's
hands after the affair at the hotel. Marshall
said he had received it from a man in Har
risburg. His defence, however, was very
poor, and he was found gpilty. Sentenced
to one year and ten months' imprisonment,
costs, tte.
Corn. vs. Wm. Strepfel, Laiceny of coat
and shoes from a Mr. Woggeldormer, at
some hotel.: The parties were "muchly "
German and the defendant especially hard
looking. He was found guilty and given
one year and six months exclusion in the
prison.
Wm. Finefrock plead guilty to two
charges of assault and battery. He was
sentenced to pay fines and costs in each
case and undergo thirty days imprison
ment.
John Fisher, found guilty of selling liquors
on Sunday and to minors, and for keeping
a gambling house, was sentenced to pay
fifty dollars in all and to undergo forty days
imprisonment for the offences.
I. Wiesting, a sickly, sore-eyed, dilapida
ted looking German, plead guilty to steal-.
ing some drrgoods from John Myer's store
in this city, and was given one year and
six months for repentance.
Com'th vs. Abner Moore. Assault and
battery. The plaintiff, James Ebelhard, and
Moore were working together in Crnar
von township, and had some political dis
pute, in which the usual exciting words
"liar and damned liar" passed, and reflec
tions upon each others politics. The case
was submitted without argument, and the
Court directed the jury to return their ver
dict in the afternoon.
Adjourned till it o'clock P. M.
Friday Afternoon.—The jury returned a
verdict of guilty, with recommendation to
the mercy of the Court, in the case of Abner
Moore charged with assault and battery.—
He was sentenced to pay a fine and costs.
Com'th vs. Francis N. Dyer. Larceny of
a watch. John Myers, a hard looking Ger
man, testified that Dyer had taken him
home from some tavern and then put him
to bed in his (Dyer's) stable. The next
morning John found his watch gone. It
was valued at 16 dollars. On bringing suit
against Dyer he returned the watch. He
had boarded with Dyer some time. In de
fence it appeared that Myers was drunk
and that Dyer put him in the stable and in
the morning he couldn't find his watch.—
Dyer searched the stable and found the
watch, but as Myers owed him -money for
board he kept the watch for a time. The
affair took place about the middle of Sep
tember. The defendant had much the ad
vantage of the prosecutor in personal ap
pearance, nut looking much like what a
thief is presumed to resemble, but the jury
returned a verdict ofiguilty with recom
mendation to the mercy of the Court. Sen
tenced to five months' imprisonment, fine
and costs.
oS'aturday Morning.—Peter Buffemoyer
plead guilty to the charges of selling liquor
to minors and on Sundays, and keeping a
gambling house. For the first offence, he
was sentenced to pav a fine or $2O and an
imprisonment of 1 days; for the second
$2O tine and 15 days' imprisonment, and
for the third $lO tine and 10 days' imprison
ment.
T. Gensler and W. Gemsley, sentenced to
the Eastern Penitentiary for a series of
larcenies in Manheim and the adjoining
towhships, were brought into court this
morning for amendment of their sentence,
when their place of confinement was
changed from the Penitentiary to the Lan
caster County Prison.
REPORT OF THE iiRANDD JURY.
That they have acted upon the bills pre
sented to them, and Lind the number large,
and fully concur with his Honor, the Judge,
in his charge. That amidst the moral and
religious influences, the fertility of our soil,
the abundance of our harvests and the
ample amount and liberal reward of labor,
that crime is increasing. There can be no
doubt that our courts and juries are faith
ful in punishing crime when brought with
in their jurisdiction, which should teach us
that punishing crime has little effect upon
the morals of the people. The only remedy
appears to be, if it can be applied, to pre
vent it.
tin careful examinat i , ll, we find the great
portion of crimes brought before us com
mitted by persons of drinking habits or by
persons in some way engaged in selling or
dealing in some kind of drink. We have
the Sunday laws, the license laws, and the
gambling laws, with many other good
wholesome laws to restrain this evil. Still
it goes on increasing with and without li
cense. The consequence is that men ' mi
nors, regular, occasional and habitual
drunkards, if not entirely enticed, are fur
nished with drink and amusements, or
games which lead them - th habits of idle
ness. Spending time and money about
their bars and gambling boards, till their
means are exhausted and having lost all
desire to labor, they rush forth on society
to entice a friend to gamble, to cheat, next
steal, and often end in robbery ; besides,
how often the quarrel, the right and deadly
strife occurs, the records of this and every
Court in the land shows.
All see and acknowledge the evil. But
none know how to remedy it with its ease
and profits so long as men of doubtful morals
and abilities find it a convenient stepping
stone to power, encourage or connive at it.
Many of the young, most exposed are the
orphans of soldiers, the offspring of intern
temperate, immoral and careless parents.—
We are bound to protect these at least, so Mr
as the law will do it. But the people appear
to connive at and the local police overlook
these minor evils from which the great ones
flow. It therefore cannot be too strongly
impressed upon parents and those having
others under their care or control, to keep
them from evil influences and protect and
sustain the local police in doing their duty
faithfully. By these means many of the
evils complained of will be prevented. But
we say in kindness to the violators of all
law, but more particularly to the laws
known as the License Laws, the (=ambling
Laws and the Sunday Laws. Stop now
and save yourselves from trouble and a
merciful Court from inflicting punishment.
They have visited the Alms-House,
Hos
pital and Prison, and find the inmates of
each as comfortable as the building in each
ease will permit, but would urge the sepa
rating or removing the Insane from the
present building by either the building of a
wing or a separate building adapted to their
wants. They also return their thanks to
the Court, Prosecuting Attorneys and Sher
ill' their kind attentions.

MEETING OF SADDLERS.-At a meeting
of the Saddlers, held on Monday morning at
10 o'clock, at Christian Shenk's Sorrel Horse
Hotel, West King street, this city, the fol
lowing preamble and resolutions, relating to
the introduction of Dr. Hartman's Patent
Safety Bridle and Lines, were unanimous
ly adopted:
WHEREAS, The usefulness, power and
safety of Dr. Hartman's Satety Bridle and
Lines have been publicly demonstrated in
the presence of from one thousand to fifteen
hundred horsemen and horse-owners to
their entire satisfaction, and it was proven
at the Millersville Horse Exhibition on four
of the most vicious and confirmed kickers
and runaways, that with the Safety Bridle
and Lines it is utterly impossible for the
horse to kick or runaway, therefore
Resolved, That we the Saddlers of Lan
caster county believe the Safety Bridle and
Lines accomplish all and even more than is
claimed by the Patentee, in preventing
horses from kicking and running away.
Resolved, That in view of the above facts,
we deem it our legitimate duty, both indi
vidually and collectively, to exert all hon
orable means to at once introduce the Patent
Bridle and Lines, because in doing so, we in
a very great measure prevent all accidents
with horses, while with the old detective
bridle we put in great jeopardy both life and
limb.
Resolved, That hereafter we manufacture
no other but the Safety bridles, unless
specially ordered.

Church, on Sunday last. Quite a number of
the city clergy:were seated within the altar.
The preliminary exercises were conducted
by Rev. A. H. Kremer, pastor of the church,
and a beautiful and appropriate prayer was
offered by Rev. Samuel Laird, of Trinity
Lutheran Church.
- - -
The principal discourse of the evening was
delivered by Rev. T. Stork, D. D., of Phila
delphia. He chose for the basis of his re
marks the words, " Thou, 0 God, bast pre
pared of Thy goodness for the poor"—Psalm
68th, verse 10th. He started out with the
somewhat novel and startling truth that
there had always been poor in the world,
and always would be. God, however, had
provided of His goodness for all such.—
After some brief introductory remarks of
this nature, he proceeded to speak of the
wants and necessities of the Freedmen. He
spoke of the negro as a man and brother;
said that he had a soul to be saved with
the rest of us; that he was not an
inferior being, and cited the instances
of Augustine and Hannibal to prove the
superiority and greatness of negroes of an
cient times. Now, with all due deference
to the historical knowledge and veracity of
the reverend gentleman, we do not believe
that either of the great men named were of
the negro race, any more than the Tunisian
Ambassadors who were recently on a visit
to this country. He said that some people
had fears that the negro might be admitted
to social equality with the white race. He
contended that there was no such thing as
social equality, and never had been ; that
the thing was an absurdity, and tried to
prove his assertion by citing an instance in
the Haytian Congress, where a proposition
was offered to give white men the right of
suffrage. He would not speak of the suf
frage question, but said that as the negroes
had fought, bled and died for the flag, they
ought to have the same rights and privileges
which it confers on others. Slavery had
been the cause of the late war; at the be
ginning of the struggle the North were
righting for its retention within the Union,
and the South for its extension. Slavery
had been killed. God so designed that it
should be. The ringer of Providence was
observable all through the late war, which
ended in the emancipation of the negro race,
and the consecration of liberty by "the mar
tyrdom of our noble President." We still,
however, owed a debt to the negro. He also
spoke of the affections and feelings of the
negro race, but said nothing about the hor
rid brutality and barbarity of the late negro
insurrection in Jamaica. His remarks gen
erally were quite irrelevant to the subject.
He closed with an appeal for aid for the
Freedmen.
The next speaker was Rev. Mr. Carthar ,
of Philadelphia. His remarks were brief
and more appropriate to the occasion. One
or two of them struck us particularly. He
said that in his travels through the South he
found more true religion and christianity
among the negroes than in any other class
of people in the country. That remark cer
tainly did not contrast very favorably with
the denunciation of the preceding speaker
against the sin and barbarity of slavery.—
He also said that 30,00 Q freedmen would
perish the coming winter anti spring in the
State of Georgia alone, because of their
wants and necessities. The emancipation
of these poor, unfortunate beings has
therefore, we think, done them a vast deal
of harm. He concluded with an appeal to
the ladies and gentlemen of Lancaster to
form a society for the purpose of procuring
clothing, etc., for the Freedmen of the South.
REmotors.—A Lancaster correspondent
of the New York Freeman's Journal gives
the following interesting account of the Ju
bilee and Forty Hours Devotion, recently
held at St. Mary's Catholic Church in this
city. The compliment paid the venerated
and venerable Father Keenan is well be
stowed!, and will be appreciated by his legion
of friends and admirers, Protestant as well
as Catholic:
LANCASTER, Nov, 12, 1865
MR. Enyroa : As the year of Jubilee is
rapidly drawing to a close, and as the col
umns of your paper have weekly recorded
the good results of this season of grace in all
parts of the country, it may not be uninter
esting to you to know how it has been pass
ed in this inland city. Early in the year,
Bishop \Vood informed our venerable Fath
er Keenan (to whom he is very warmly at
tached,) that he would conduct the services
of the Jubilee and Forty Hours Devotion
himself; but his many engagements pre
vented him from carrying out his inten
tions until the first Sunday in Ncivember,
when the Devotion of both were opened at
ti A. m., with appropriate ceremonies. The
order of exercises during the three days con
tinuance, were so arranged that all who
wished could participate. Masses, Instruc
tions, Spiritual reading, the recitation of the
Rosary, with sermons, and the Benediction
of the Blessed Sacrament, followed succes
sively from six in the morning until nine
at night.
At the eight o'clock Mass on Sunday
morning, seventy-seven children, boys and
girls, received the first communion from
the hands of the Bishop; and in the after
noon one hundred and thirty-five young
persons were admitted to the sacrament of
confirmatibm The girls on both occasions
were dressed and veiled in while, and pre
sented a beautiful appearance. The edify
ing deportment of the children was the
theme of all present, and proved that the
careful instruction and training they had
been subjected to by Rev. 'l'. Marren, Fath
er Keenan s indelatigalole assistant, had not
been in vain.
As the exercises were to be closed on
Tuesday evening with the procession of the
Blessed Sacrament, it occurred to our good
Bishop that it would be a beautiful feature
of the ceremony to have the Sunday School
children participate. Accordingly, at a few
hours' notice, one hundred and fifty chil
dren were collected to take part in the pro
cession. This was admirably conducted by
Rev. J. O'Reilly, of the Cathedral, and was
(for the locality) an imposing sight. During
the procession the canopy was carried by
four men, whose hair time had whitened
many a year ago, and contrasted forcibly
with the tender years of those little ones who
led the procession of youth and age, all ea
ger to do homage to that great mystery;
and as the sweet voices of those little white
veiled girls sang alternate verses of the
"Pangue Lingua," with the choir, it made
an impression on those present that effected
many to tears—even some who were not of
the one fold. As long as these sacred mem
ories are cherished by those young hearts,
the infidelity and contamination of the
world will assail them in vain.
The Catholics of Lancaster owe a large
debt of gratitude to Bishop Wood, for the
untiring zeal and energy with which he
conducted this mission. Every moment
that could he spared from the altar and the
pulpit, was spent in the confessional, which
was constantly crowded with anxious pen ,
itents of all ages. The Bishop was ably as
sisted in his labors by Rev. A. J. McCono
my, Chancellor of the Diocese; Father
O' Reilly, of the Cathedral; McGinness, of
Columbia, and Maher of Harrisburg. The
good results of this mission cannot be ex
pressed in words. Old and young men who
had been content to pass scores of years as
nominal Catholics, came forward at the
commands of Mother Church to be nour
ished by the Bread of Life.
How gratifying this was to all concerned
in the mission may be easily imagined; but
who can tell how it gladdened the heart of
dear old Father Keenan, who, in a faithful
ministry of forty years in our midst, has
seen youth grow to age, and as the genera
tion of the young grew up around him,
watched them from infancy to maturity,
instructed them, and prepared them by the
grace of the sacraments to resist the tempta
tions of the various stages of life. Endeared
as he is to all by the memories of the past,
the associations of the present, and the
hopes of the future, that he may live to see
many returns of these glorious results, is
the sincere and heartfelt wish of all who
know him. C.

Cr EZICAII Eincsicsr,-I-MARtassiz Asrre
DEATH - The `Philadelphia. Daily ' /Petia
gives the following,.
the de'atit - of Bev: Barnes. He was
perhaps as well known as zany minister in
the-Methodist Church,. and his eccentricity
and eloquence caused crowds of persons to
flock to hear liim Wherever helireached. He
was stationed at Columbia twice during his
iteneracy. Although he must have been
fully eighty years of age at the time of his
death, he was still in the active ministry,
and had never accepted a superannuated or
supernumerary relation •
No clergyman in the Methodist Church
was batter known than William Barnes.
For sixty years a member of its itinerant
ministry, commencing with the rifle, axe,
and saddle-bag days of Asbury and Scott,
the divine slowly increased inreputationas
the vanities of the world and the follies of
the flesh were engrafted on the beloved
church of his adoption and choice. He was a
bitter opponent of fashionable frivolity. The
plainness of his forefathers was the apple of
his eye. The simplicity of apostolic days
was the standard of hislife, and the doctrines
he loved were the doctrines he preached.
John the Baptist was not plainer in attire,
in life, and in manner, than Mr. Barnes,
and the ardency of his opposition to gayety
and extravagance made him famous
throughout the bounds of the Philadelphia
conference. As a divine he was eloquent,
earnest, and sincere. His sermons posses
sed the power of the old fathers of Methodism,
when Wesley and Whitefield invoked the
mercies of Providence on the collieries of
England and the pioneer settlements of
America. Eccentric and singular in his
boyhood, hisindividnality increased in his
later years until the peculiar traits of Mr.
Barnes' character made hint familiar in ev
ery Methodist parish of the State. For
twenty years his name has been a house
hold word in Methodistfamilies in the Phil-
aielphia conference.
On Friday night the old divine died from
one of the most singular circumstances in
clerical history. An old law of Pennsyl
vania, enacted in 1701, declares that banns
of marriage must be published in public
meetings and posted on the meeting-house
one month before the ceremony can be
legally performed. For years the statute
has been null. It tilled a place in the records
of commonwealth law, but its terms were
never heeded. Mr. Barnes joined in lawful
holy wedlock two lovers, who blushingly
came to his house and asked the sacred ful
fillment of their heart's desires. The bride
was the daughter of a resident of this city.
Be objected strenuously to the union, but
his anger toward the children was impotent.
They were united in marriage, and he could
not divide them. His daughter was of full
age, but her husband was not twenty-one.
Powerless to separate them, the father pro
secuted tae gray-haired clerynian for viola
tion of the antiquated act of 1701. The fossil
of a father claimed the vengeance of the
fossil of the law. Mr. Barnes was brought
before the District Court, with Judge Shars
wood ou the bench.
The defendant's counsel contended that
proof of the non-publication of the banns
should be made; that the plaintiff's witnes
ses had not gone to the courthouse or meet
ing-house doors to examine ; and, inasmuch
as this was a final action, the proof should
be positive as to the non performance ot the
requirements of the act. He said that the
enforcement of the act would leaf to many
divorces, to the breaking of many family
ties ; and that the father (the plaintiff) hail
done wrong in casting a doubt upon the le.
gality of the marriage of his daughter, united
in holy matrimony by a power recognized
by ecclesiastical law as well as custom.
The plaintiff's counsel urged the enforce
ment of the penalty. Judge Sharswood in
structed the jury that the law was still in
force ; that no one could join in marriage a
minor without consent of the parents and
publication of the banns; and he instructed
the jury that if they found such consent had
not been obtained and such publication
made, the plaintiff was entitled to recover.
The jury could not agree. On the opening
of the court on Saturday morning, the mel
ancholy fact was announced by the Judge,
in discharging the jury, that Mr. Barnes
had died a few hours after leaving the court
di i se. The cause of his death was the ex-
citement consequent on the trial at the case.
With the penalty of a broken law pending,
death entered a stronger plea, and the ven
erable divine was called to the bar of a God
who makes the cause of his servants his
own. The tears and prayers of the whole
Methodist Church billowed the aged veteran
of the cross to his eternal rest.

S HOCKING AcCIDENTS
111MEIMIEMI=
Over two hundred accidents from kicking
nod running .away of horses occurred during
the past year, In Lancaster county alone—
nearly all of which resulted in injuring the
drivers, killing some, maiming and wounding
others, and in most cases, breaking costly car
riages and hurting the hors s
01 the above, nine-tenths were tame family
horses. The Safety Bridle will put an end to
all such needless accidents, and with the Safety
Lines the speed of ever, horse is easily much
increas d.
At a specitl meeting of the Saddlers of Lan
caster county, Pa., held in Lancaster city, Nov.
27, the following resolutions were unani-
miously adop ed :
WHEREAS, The re efulness, power and safety
ofiDr.plartman's Safety Bridle and Lines have
been publicly demonstrated in the presence of
from one thousand to dt een hundred persons
to their entire satisfaction ; and since it was
proven at the Mi lersville horse exhibition on
four of the most vicious and confirmed kickers
and runam ays, that with the Safety Bridle and
Lines it isill terly impossible f :r a horse either
to kick or run away; :therefore
Resolved, That we, the Saddlers of Lancaster
county, Pa., believe that the Safety Bridle and
Tines fmcomplish all, and even more, teen is
claimed by the patentee, in preventing horses
from kicking and running away.
Resolved, That in view of the above facts, we
deem it our legitimate duty, both individu Ily
and collectively, to exert all honorable means
to at once introduce the Bridle and Lines, be
cause in doing so we in a very great measure
prevent all accidents with horse, while with
the old and defective bridle we put in great
jeopardy both lite and limb.
hesslred, That hereafter we manufacture no I
other but Safety Bridles, unless especially or
dered.
The price of Individual Rights is S 5 each ;
County Rights, from $llll.OO to 1.500.00, according
to population—these containing large cities
excepted.
No other investment before the public pre
sents such inducements of making money. In
ever county there are at least twenty town
ships, and in each township at least one hun
dred persons who drive ho' ses—which a five
dollars fiir an individual right will amount to
per township, and ten thousand dol ars
(fil0,000) for each county at the rate of twenty
townships at five hundred dollars each ! IXave
not the least doubt but that amount of money
can be made out of a county with proper busi
ness tact and energy. The price of counties is
so small as to place the investment in the
bands of every one, for few are so poor as to be
unable to raise one hundred do. lan,.
Another feature about this invention is that
the proprietor of territory need not manufac
tur the bridles and lines, as the ordinary bridle
can be easily alt .red into a Safety. The lines
only require to be made to order, and these can
be made by any saddler for a trifle more
than the ordinary lines. Hence, unlike other
patents, the right to use it only is sold.
No man neen wish for a greater fortune than
right of a State. To show the confidence
the paten , ee has in his invention, he offers to
pay one thousand dollars for any horse that
can either kick or run away when under the
influence of the Safety Brid e and Lines. For
County and State rights address for circular,
and for Individual Rights, enclose $0 to S. B.

READ WHO SAYS SO
From Rev. W. D. Beigfried, Pastor of Twelfth
Baptist Church, Philadelphia.
Gentlemen :—I have recently been laboring
under the distressing effects of indigestion, ac
companied by a prostration of the nervouesys
tem. Numerous remedies were recommended
by friends, and some of them tested, but with
out relief. Your Hootland's German Bitters
were recommended by persons who had tried
them, and whos f favorable mention of these
Bitters I, duced me to try them. I must con
fess that I nad an aversion to Patent Medicines
from the tbousand and one " quack "Bit
ters,' whose only atm seems to be to palm off
sweetened and drugged liquor upon the com
munity in a sly way, and the tendency of
which, I fear, is to make many a confirmed
urunkard. Upon learning that yours was
really a medicinal preparation I took it with
happy effect. Its action, not only upon the
stomach, but upon the nervous system, was
prompt and gratifying. I feel that I have de
rived great and permanent benefit from the
use of a few bottles.
Very respectfully yours,
W. D. SEIUFRIED,
No. 2.54 Shackamaxon Street.
_A
From the Rev. E. D. Fendall, Assistant Editor
Christian Chronicle, Philadelphia.
I have derived decided benefit from the use
of Hoofland's German Bitters, and ieel it my
privilege to recommend them as a most valua
ble tonic, to all who are suffering from gen
eral debility or from diseases arising from de
rangement of the liver.
Yours truly
E. D. FENDALL.
From Rev. D. Merrige, Pastor of the Passyunk
Baptist Church, Philadelphia.
From the many respectable recommenda
tions given to Dr. Hooliand's German Bitters,
I was induced to give them a trio... After
using several bottles I found them to be a good
remedy for debility, and a most exc,ilent tonic
for the stomach. _ .
From Rev. Wm. Smith t formerly Pastor of the
Vlneenttown and illlllvllle (N. J.) Baptist
Churches
Having used in my family a number of bot
tles of your Hootland's German Bitters, 1 have
to say that I regard them as an excellent med
icine, specially adapted to remove the di-eases
they are recommended for. They strengthen
and invigorhte the system when debilitated,
and are useful in disorders of the liver, loss of
app. tite, sc. I have also recommended them
to several of my friends, who have tried them,
and found them greatly beneficial in the resto
ration of health.
Yours truly

the North Baptist Church, Phi ladelphl ri, at pre
sent Pastor of the Baptist Church, Chester, Pa.
• • •
I have known Hoofland's German Bitters
favorably for a number of years' I have used
them in my own family, and have bee❑ so
pleased with Up- ir effects, that I was induced
to recommend them to many others, and know
that they have operated in a strikingly benefi
cial manner. I take great pleasure in thus
publicly proclaiming this fact, and calling the
attention of those afflicted with the diseases fur
which they are recommended, to these Bitters,
knowing from experience that my recommen
dation will be sustained. Ido this more cheer
full as HooHand's Bitters is intended to benefit
the afflicted, and is " not a rum drink."
Yours, truly
LEVI q. BECK

From Rev. J. Newton Brown, D. D., Editor of
the Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge and
Christian Chronicle, Philadelphl
Although not disposed to - . - favor or recom
mend Patent Medicines in - general, through
distrust of their ingredients and effect, I yet
know of no sufficient reasons why a man may
not testify to the b-neflts he believes himself to
have received from any simple preparation, in
the hope that he may thus c datribute to the
benefit of others.
I do this the more readily in regard to Hoof
land's German Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M.
Jackson, of this city, because I was prejudiced
against them for many years, under the im
pression that they were chiefly an a.coholic
mixture. I am indebted to my friend Robert
Shoemaker, Esq., for the removal of this preju
dice by proper tests and for encouragement t o
try them when suffering from great and long
continued debility. The use of three bottles of
these Bitters at the beginning of the present
year, was followed by evident relief and restor
ation to a degree of bodily and mental vigor
which I had not felt for six months before, and
had almost despaired of regaining. I therefore
thank God and my friend directing me to the
use of them. J. NEWTON BROWN,
From the Rev. Thos. Winter, D. D., Pastor of
Roxborough Baptist Church.
Dear Sir : I feel it, due to your excellent prep
aration, Hooflaiad's German Bitters, to add
my testimony to the deserved reputation It has
obtained. I have for years, at times, been
troubled with great disorder in my head and
nervous system. I was advised by a friend to
try a bottle of your German Bitters. I did so,
and have experienced great and unexpected
relief; my health has been very materially
benelitted. I contiden ly recommend the arti
cle where I meet with cases similar to my own,
and have been assured by many of their good
affects. Respectfully yours,
T. WINTER, Roxborough, Pa.
From Rev. J. S. Herman, of the German Re
formed Church, Kutztown, Berks County Pa.
Respected Sir: I have been troubled with
Dyspepsia nearly twenty years, and have nev
er used any medicine that did so much good as
Hoofland's Bitters. lam very much improved
in health, after having taken rive bottles.
Yours, with respect, d. S. HERMAN.
