Blummer, Jr., (executors of George Minnlch deceased,} all of whom are charged with having de> frauded the Railroad Company in their capacltyas conductors. The venue in these actions was changed from Schuylkill coun ty to Lancaster, by special act of Assembly. The following named jurors were em panneled to try the CAse : George High, John Zimmerman, Wm.

Kuokel of Harrisburg, Thomas Hart, Esq., of Phila delphia and H. M. North,E-q., of Columbia. The case was opened for pluintiff in a speech by Jacob Hoffman, Esq., of Reading. Mr. James M. Pettit testified as follows: On the 29th of September 18G3, I received a note from Mr. Nichols to call at 1 P. M. at the Co's, ollice in S 4th street, Philadelphia. Signed, truly yours, I. A. Nichols. I went to the office at that time uud was shown in by Mr. Nichols. Alter I got inside the door waaahut; there was a table in the room. Mr. Smith was Healed on one side of the table, and Mr. Nichols handed me a chair to set down on the other side, be also taking a seat at the table. There was a man in the room where we were that I did not know. Mr. Smith looking oyer some papers, said Mr. Pettit wo have charges against you which can bo proved by reliable per hods. Mr. Nichols said, yes, Mr. Pet tit, the proof is positive and un deniable, and strong enough to hang you. Mr. Smith then said you have been on the road over seven years and you huve taken from the company $42,000 at a low estimate. Mr. Nichols then said wo have had detectives on the road for the last three months, and the proof is positive. Mr. Smith said if you do uot pay the money wo demand of you, you’ve got to go from this office to jail. Mr. Smith then left the room. Mr. Nichols then said that 1 had better pay over the money ; that my friends would all advise mo to do so, aud that ho as a friend would advise me to do the same. 1 asked Mr. Nichols i'f he would let me go out und see a friend and I would be buck in half an hour. lie said I could riot leave the office till I had made that sett lenient. If I did Dot settle I would huve to go to prison from that office. Look ut the disgrace that will bo brought on your family hy going to prison. 1 told Mr. Nichols and Mr. Smith each time they asked me to settle that I had none of the company’s money and did not owe them anything. Mr. Smith again came in and asked me if I was going to pay over tho money I had tuken from the company. I told him I hat] none of the company’s money and would not pay them any. He asked mo what I hud done with the money I was charged with taking. I told him I had no money belonging to tho company. He then asked mo who my broker was. J told him Mr. Fox, 31 street, below Market. He a*kod me to write him an order to Mr. Fox to show him my account in his books. I refused to do so. Ho then went to tho other side of the room, and spoke to the man I didn't know. Tno man came up to mo and nuid “I must search you.” He took my port tnonnule and counted the money in it, and looked at f> coupons I hud in it duo hy iho Camden and Amboy rail road, Oct. lKt»:j. Hh then toe k out my watch aud looked at it, aud then lelt me all over, my coat and pockets, and gavethe tilings back to me. I then asked Mr. Nieh " olh if he would Ui no* go to iho water closet’ He let me go hut sent with me that rnnn lhat was in the office' A!" ,- r 1 li.id returned, Mr. Smith n-ked me if I was going to give him tbeorderto Mr. Fox. I said no. He then said from this room to prison you must go. Mr Nichols then sain I had bet ter give him an order to Mr. Fox. After Borne conversation between us, Mr. Nich ols wrote an order aud I signed it.— Mr. Smith came in and got it and left the room and was gone half an hour or more hofore he returned. Ho sail that lie had seen Mr. Fox'r hooka and knew all I had in bonds, and if I would pay them over $30,000 they would leave uie off, and if I did not, I would have to go to jail trom that office, and the law must take its course.— Mr. Nichols then srd that Mr. Minnich had been there and had to pay a great deal more than that. Mr. Smith then said are you going to pay hack the money you have taken from the company. I said no, I bad none of the company's money. Mr. Smith seemed very angry und left Ibe room, (damming tho door as lie went out. Mr. Niehols llieu said ihat I had better pay over the money, f»»r look u\ the disgrace that would lu* tin.uFil >m myself and fami ly if 1 wax -i'll i-i prism. Hesuid if I would pay over to them $lO 000 of the Cumden it Amboy R. U. bond*. $2,000 of Lehigh Val ley bonds, s3,ooouf Allegheny Compromise bund*', the mutter wo ild end there, and nobody outside of tho office would eyer know why I was off tho road, and I could get a situation on some other road. After some further conversation betwoen Mr. Nichols and mo aboutdisgrueo aud impris onment, sooner than go to prison, I huUl I would give him $10,01)0 of the Camden und Auiboy bonds, and $B,OOO of the Allegheny Compromise bonds. Mr. Nichols said he would send up and see if Mr. Smith would take that or not. After a short time Mr. Nichols said Mr. Smith w.-uld take lhat amount. I asked Mr. Nichols to give me a receipt to show what money they had taken from me lie said no, he would not glvo me u receipt. I asked Mr. Nichols to lot ine go und get these bonds. Ho said no, Mr. Smith would send someone willi mo In about live minutes a stout man, who had been In aud out of the office, came and took ineout to the office door where a oarriago stood. This man nnd mo got inside the carriage and tho man who hnd me In charge In the office got on the outside ot tho car riage. When wo got to tny house the stout man wi-nt into the house with me und went ' up stairs in the presence of my wife—tho other man staid outside of the house. Af ter I had bunded him the bonds, ho said 1 had some uoupnus in my pocket aud ho must have them. 1 told him I would not glvo them to lmn. Ho said it I did not lie would take mo back to the office again—it was Ida orders to go’, them. Sooner than go hack 1 gave them lo him ; there were 5 of them—s3o cadi. He then left the house.

Objected to by Mr. tiowau, unloss tho name of tho triend had been stated lo Mr. Nichols. Mr. Ellma ker wished to have the question answered, to prove that witness hud desired to con sult Judge Knox, his counsel. Mr. Hnd man did not press the qm-s’iou, and u was withdrawn. Q. Stuto whether you consented, nr your own free will and consent, to deliver up tin* bonds which you dal deliver to Mr. Smith ? Objected to by Mr. Gowan. Alter argil merit the court ruled that tbs quos’.mn omdd bo answered, stating that the prinei t.]e of duress consisted first in the tacts or circumstances of the case, and secondly, how fur these facta would be likely to op eratoon an ordinary mind. Mr. Uu w.m ex cepted to Hie ruliug. A. I did not deliver them of my own free will' »ud eonsen'. Cross examined by Mr. Gowun. Q. Were you not, at the time named, a conductor on the passenger train? A. I wan Q How mnuy jn-i.-s? . A. I was appointed by Mr. Nichols in May. 1838. Mr. Smith was President of the road in 1883. I knew bo was President of the company. Mr. Nichols was Superin tendent of the e nupany. 'I lio buildißg was known us the company’s main office. Q Was there any ouo in the room ut tno time you lirst went in except Mr. Smith, Nichols and yourself? A. I mil not certain. There wus a man thero shortly afterwards. Q.

Pinkerton was chief deleo q.‘ Did not Mr. Smith charge yon with having taken the company money ? A. He charged me with having taken $42,000. I supposed him to mean the com pany’s mouey.

By Mr. Kunkul--Mr. Smith and Nichols did not say I could go out with the detective aud consult any body I pleased. Mr. Smith did not suy I could go out and c msult a friend with Mr. B.iugs. Mr. Smith said I must go to prison or pay over the money. Q. You said you were afraid. What were you afiaid of? A. I was afruid of being sent to prison, and disgracing my lamily. ' Q.

I was told by Mr. Nichols that there had been detectives on the road. By Mr. Gowun—l did not see the deteo five’s papers on that day in the office. I saw Mr. Smith have some pupers on the (able before him. Q_Wbat salary did you got from the Company? Objected to by Mr. Ellmaker as irrelevant. The Court preferred that this question should bp ashed after the defence had open ed, but thought it made but little difference rpTTTn WEEKLY lIsrTELX.iaEdsrCEB, YVOEHDISrEgID A.Y, DECEMBER 22 1869? whether the examination waa gone’into now, or hereafter. Mr. GFowau .withdrew the question. Q.—What salary did yoa get as Conduc tor from the Reading Railroad Company ? Objected toon the ground that the reason for the question is not stated, and it is not properly evidence on cross-examination, and therefor© irrelevant. The Court overruled the obiection. A._Wegot $2 30 a day. If we ran the regular trips for the month it amounted to about §6O. I ran the Sunday train about 3 years, and got additional $4 per trip a part of the time and $3 the balance of the time. Q.—lf these bonds that yon handed over to Mr. Smith did not belong to the company, where did you get the mouey to buy them with.

Objection sustained and exception noted. 4.—Mr. Kuukel—On the day you went to the Company office, was your brother with you ? A.—No. I did not know where he was Q —What prevented you from going out of that office at any time, if you had wauted to? A.—l asked to go out, and they would not let me. The door was shut. I don’t know whether it was locked or not. I did not tell Mr. Smith I hud no money. I told him I bad no Company money. I did not tell him the bou*e on Broad street was my wife’s. It is mine. I gave up the property rut her tbun go to prison. I huve a fear of going to prison. I would not like to go there eveu it I was innocent. The property was taken from me in September, 1803. — This suit was brought less than six months afterwards. I employed Mr. Hodman as ui> lawyer. Mr. Hodman told me he would bring Inu suit when the proper time came Hu said ho wanted to bring the suit in Schuylkill county. I think two years went round before the suit was brought. I don’t know that Mr. Hodman ever told mo why ho did not bring suit fcooner. I think I know that a criminal suit could not be brought against mo after two years. By Mr. (iowan : I do not know that I told Mr. Nichols I had u house In Broad street worm SIu,UOO. I had a house there. J did tell Mr. Nichols that I hud Camden and Amboy bonds be longing to my wife. I did not tell him I had bonds amounting to §19,000, and tny wife §22,000. Mr. Minntch wus also a Con ductor. The fear operated on mo both at the houso and the office. Aid o’clock Court udjmrnod until 9 to morrow morning. Rrxday Morning.— Court met at 9 o’clock and resumed the case of Pettit vs. Bmilh. Mr. Pettit took the stand ami under cross examination testified that since he left the company’s employ ho had resided in Philadelphia : Mr. Clias. E. {Smith hail also resided in Philadelphia. This suit was brought iu Schuylkill county. R) examined by Mr. Huffman -J will be 51 on tin* lU;h day of uext Aptil. When 1 told Mr. Kunkel yesterday that I would rather make ro-titulion than go to prison, I rueaut that 1 would rattier give up my own property than go to prison. 4. Circumstanced and situated as you then were in that building would you rulher have given up ull you had, thau went to prison ? Objected to and overruled. By Mr. Kunkel —Have you asked any body biucoyou answered my question yes terday auytuiug about the auswor you gave me. A.—l asked Mr. Hodman and Mr. Kli ms k or the moaning of the word restitution ? M r. (iowan asked the Court to strike out of Mr. Pettit’s evidence all that related to the value of the bonds, as bis information on that subject with derived from Mr. For, and was clearly uot evidence. The Court ordered the testimony to bo stricken out as being only heresay.uml hav ing been communicated to him wilhiu the last two or three weeks. Mr. Pettit recalled. 4 —By Mr. Huffman-- Doyou know with out Mr. Fox’s books whether the Cauiden aud Amboy Railroad bouds were above pur ? A.—l looked at the newspapers and knew tbm they weiegeuerally übovepur. I look ed at the quolulious iu the Ledger.

Mr. lloitmun offered in evidence an Act of Assembly passed on the 20th of March, 1868, changing tho venue of the case of Pettit vs. Smith from Schuylkill to Lan caster county, which was admitted. (2. by Mr. Oowan.— Have you not now peuding in Schuylkill county another case uguiuat the Reading Railroad (’ompany? A.—l have a suit llioie. It lias not been tried. It has never been removed. I was uot examined there. The evidence on the part of plalutifi hero closed. Mr. Gowan opened for 1110 defence. He recapitulated the fads connected with tho case, and gave an outline ol tin. 1 evidence he expected to produce. M r. G, A. [Nichols was sworn,nnd testified on behalf of the defendant. Tbe drift of his evidence was to show that Pettit was under no Hucli constraint as would amount to wiiat is Unown in law as duress. Samuel Brudfurd, Treasurer of tho Rtiil roud (’ompany, testified to receiving tho bonds delivered tip by Pettit from the do tectivo Pinkerton, and tlio transfer ol tho amount they brought when sold to tho treasurer of the company. Depositions ofPinlcerton and his detec lives were read, showing how they had watched and mude a note of fares received by Pettit. They rode in tbe trains, noticed every passenger who paid, where lie got on, what seat he occupied, ami where bo got oil’. They uluo entered Into conver sation with such passengers occasionally. Tho depositions showed much skilful man agement, and according to their tenor Pettit was in the habit ot keeping a consid erable portion of tbe money received each trip. The Court adjourned on Saturday pend ing the reading of these voluminous depo sitions. Tito death of Emanuel C, Heigart, E«q , interfered with tho trial ou Mouday afternoon. Mondtty, Dec. 20, 2J P. M. —The Court met and the remainder of the afternoou was occupied with reading the depositions of the several detective otlicers, who ran upon Pettit’s train and observed tbe fares which were cnilected in money by him. Theso were followed by t©e depositions of Wm. H. Webb, tho Secretary of the Read ing Railroad Company, proving Bix pack ages of conductor’s checks, which were the sumo which Pettit hud Njeturn-d to the Company ie representing t' * fires meL lie hud received. Mr. (iowan then read further the deposi- lions of Messrs. Webb, Bangs and Welch, for the purpose of showing the loss of the uriginul returns of way tares received by Pettit, with tiie view of offering true copies of the same which had been made by other wit riches. Mr. Hoffman objected to Dip admission of the copies ort the ground that the loss oft jo originals had not been sufficiently proved, but the Court ruled otherwise. £ll the checks and lelurns made by Pet lit to tbe Station Agents were then given iu evidence. Adjourned lill Tuesday at 9 o'clock. Tuesday, U A. M. —Court mot. Mr. UoQumn again culled l lie ultentiou of he Judge to iho testimony of Mr. Bangs on the subject of the loss of Iho original ro turns alluded to yesterduy, and in view of the importance of the testimony, asked the Judge to reconsider his ruling upou the ground that Bangs’ testimony wus unrelia ble, ho having stated in the cross-examina tion of his deposition, that he hud not been in the room with Mr. Pettit on the alterno >n of the 29t.1i of September, during the lime Pettit was in the room with Nichols and Smith; which was false, as Mr. Nichols testified in this case that Mr. Bangs was in the room aud searched Pettit’s person; after wards went with him to the water closet and came back with him into the room but ibe Court refused to exclude the ovidepoe, Mr. Gowan wus about reading further depositions when Mr. Ellmaker, interfered aud said they bad au application to make. Mr. Ellmaker then read the following affi davit : Jacob Hoffman being sworn and Na lhauiel Ellmaker affirmed, according to law, say that on Saturday last after the Court adjourned, and after all the jurors trying the case had left, except one Wash ington Rigbter. Howuited for some time to meet Mr. G. A. Nichols, and there got into conversation with him, and they walked out of the Court Houao together. That Mr. Nichols is not only un impor tant witness for defendant, but supposed to be bis agent at this time, and also a ohief officer of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company, which it is believed is hearing the expenses of this controversy for defendant. That an affidavit was prepared for presen tation at the opening of the Court, yester day, but, on consultation it was agreed to proceed with the case. But that again last evening after the ad journment of the Court, the same ptrson remained behind after all the other jurors left; got into conversation wilh Mr. Nichols and the two walked together towards the door of the Court House. J. Hoffman, N. Ellmaker. Sworn and affirmed before me, Deo. 21, ISG9. W. D. Stauffer Pron’thy J. Hoffman further saya that on each of the occaaioua referred to, Mr, Rlghter ap proached Mr. Nichois to. commence the conversation. J. Hoffman. Sworn and suhsoribed;before me, Dec. 21, ISQQ. W. D. Stauffer, Pron’thy. After the reading of the above affidavit, Mr. Ellmaker asked the Court to have the jury discharged, nnd read in support of his motion the lollowiDg opinion of Judge Long. Wm. Diller va. C. Johns et. al. August term 1863, No. 125. Rule for a new trial, grounded upon three reasons: Ist. That the Court erred in not permit ting the plaintiff to prove the misrepresent ations made by Jacob Rohrer, one of the defendants, as offered on the trial. 2d. The verdict was against law, the evi dence and charge of the Court. 3d. It is believed some of the jnrors who tried the case bad been tampered with by defendants or tbelr agents. The depositions taken in this case dis close the fact that while the trial of the case was progressing, two of the defendants and one of thejnrore empanneled, were in com pany at a lager beer saloon in this city,and, while t here,engaging in some of the amuse ments and convivialities which are gener ally presented at such an establishment. What the object of this social meeting may have been ; whether it was designed merely as a matter of recreation, or whether the parties intended to ingratiate them selves in the good feelings of the jnror, to elevate them in his affections, and thereby curry favors from bim, it is not necessary for us to speculate upon. It is enough for ua to know that the juror exposed himself to au influence which may hare subjected him to an improper bias in favor of the party with whom be was then engaged, and awakens suspicions that his integrity of character, as a juror, may have beeu de moralized. A j uror ought not only to stand above all exceptions, but he ought to be above all suspicion that he has any leaning towards any of the parties. He ought not only to be above all reproach, but he ought to ab stain from all appearance of wrong, and leave no room to any of the parties for sus pecting that be has been influenced from sinister motives. It is not necessary that evidence should be produced to carry con viction to the mind of the Court that this was the case; the respectability of the par ties aud the jaror would perhaps forbid a conclusion of ibis kind ; but if the circum stances proven go to show that their con duct was of such a nature as to give color for suspecting that the juror was exposing himself to influences which might have an effect upon his decision, or to warp his judgment, it i 3 our duty to graut a new trial. Bucb circumstances have, we think, been proven in this case. The great light of the world uas taught us to pray, not to be led into temptation, and the teachings of history have confirmed the wisdom of this prayer. It is therefore the duty of Courts to endeuvor to take from parties all temptations to gain an undue influence over jurors. A party by such conduct ought to know that ho has ull to lose and nothing to gain ; that if the ver dict is against him, it will not be sot aside ou uccouut of hi 3 conduct, but that if it is for him it will bo set aside.— The trial by jury has been extolled as the best guardian of our rights, aud the glory of the English law; but past history bus shown that when this institution becomes perverted by jurors being misled by suffer ing any undue influence to operate upon them, it then becomes an instrument of tyranny, injustice and oppression. Courts are therefore required by a sense of duty to watch with jeuloua care the sacred pre cincts of the jury box; and to prevent it from being invaded by any influence cal culated to impair Its usefulness, or to lesson the high respect which the people ought to have for it. The mind of a juror, when be is ompannellod, ought to be susceptible of no impression but that which is produced by the testimony and tbe law. It is said of the late Judge Brackenridge, that while a member of our Supreme Court, he was iQ vited hv a suitor in that Court to take din ner with him. He politely declined, quaint ly remarking, that ha was afraid tliat by him taking hold of his throat, h 9 might touch bis brains. And the District Court of this county, when in existence, set aside a verdict where the successiul party, alter the rendition of the verdict, gave a com plimentary entertainment to the jurors. We are told by high authority, (3 Blk Com 39- j that next to doiDg right the greut object iu the administration ol public jus lice should be to give public satisfactiou ; if the verdict be liable to many objections aud doubts iu the opinion of bis counsel, or even iu tbeopiuion of bystanders, no party would go uway satisfied unless he had a prospect of reviewing it. Such doubts would with him be decisive. He would arraign the determination as manifestly uujusi, and abhor a tribunal which lie im agined had done him au injury without a possibility of redress. The first reason is not decided but left for future adjudication. Rule made absolute. • After some further discussion, Mr. Righ ter was called to the witness stand and was sworn. He testified that he had no con versation with Mr. Nichols iu regurd to the case being tried, all that he had said to him was to ask if the Reading it Columbia Railroad Intended to issue ex cursion tickets. According to his recollec tion he only walked as far as the Court House door with Mr. Nichols. He asked Mr. Nichols how his wife was. ;,Mr. Nichols was recalle 1 and testified that while he was putting on his cape Mr. Righter was putting on his coat, aud that ilio oonvuruution ftimmatiMiil by Mr. Diybt er saying. “ I think we will have snow.” I said ‘’Yes, I thought we would.” Mr. Righter said “I think wo will have a good deal of snow this winter,” aud I uuswered “Yes, it’s likely.” Ho then asked me if ex cursion tickets would be issued on tbe Co lumbia aud Reading aud the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad. I told him tba 1 . they would be issued and remain good from tlie day before Christmas until the day after Now Year. Mr. Righter then said that he thought M r. lloffmun a very smart luwyer. I told him he was so. Mr. Kighter then said “I admire him very much.” He then asked me how long I thought it would luke to try this case, and hoped it would be fiu isbed before Christmas. I told him that I hoped it would. Mr. Ellmakor again asked that the jury be discharged. The Court could not see that there had beeu the slightest impropriety in the con versation held between the juror and Mr. Nichols; and "certaiuly no sufficient euuso hud beeu given for the discharge of tho jury. A number of cases were cited in which jurors had he’d similar couversu lions, und applications to discharge the juries ousuch grounds had been refused, und the trials proceeded with. Iu the mat ter now before the Court thero is not the slightest imputation against either the wit ness orjurur ; and this jury elands before tho Court to day ua pure as any other that has ever stood before it. The Court fiad thought it best on the trial of tills cause to give the lurgest liberty In receiving evi dence, so as to have the fullest information on all points involved. Mr. Elltnaker asked that tho affidavit might be filed and that plaintiff's counsel might retire and consult. After a brief consultation Mr. Hoffman stated that after .consultation among themselves and with heir client, they could not consistently with their professional duty, proceed fur tber in the trial before this jury, aud with plaiutiff’s consent would take u non-suit, especially as au actiou by bim against the Philadelphia A Reading Railroad Company was now pending in tho Courts of Schuyl kill county. Mr. Gowansaid, although there isDOthing in the conversation between Mr. Righter and Mr. Nichols to warrant a non-suit, and although we are all convinced that the non suit is uot taken in cousequence of any thing that had occurred between Mr. Righter and Mr. Nichols, but that that conversation is made use of as an excuse for doiDg wbat was inevitable. Yet before the non-suit is outered, we desire t 6 offer to go on with the case with eleven jurors aod to allow Mr- Righter to retire, or to allow any number of the jurors who may be objectionable to the plaintiff to leave tho box, aud to go ou with those who remain. Mr. Hoffman said he was acting sin cerely and conscientiously. 'lhe affidavit contained only stated w£nt we saw in the case of one juror, uud we don't know what may have occurred us to others. We want a full jury to try this case, and canuot con sent to go on without one. Mr. Kunkel regretted counsel for plain* tiff, considered itneoessary to put the non* suit or the facts alleged in the affidavit. Every one in the Court House knew that the non suit wus inevitable to uvo d the verdict. The motive was well known.*The case, from the impetration of the writ to this present moment, was unparallel -d for its unblushing audccity. Mr. Hoffman said such unblushing im putations required no reply. The geuerul railroad act passevl by the Legislature pro hibited tho Company from changing venue to a county through which a road passes ; and yet through their influence this case has been removed from Schuylkill county to Lancaster county, where the Readiug and Columbia Railroad is located, Mr. Kunkel reminded the gentlemau that he had as much to do as any one else in removing the ca*e to Lancaster cjuuty, and had never before objected to it. Mr. Hoffman said that when the removal from Schuylkill couuty becume inevitable. and the Legislature bad given us Hobson’s choice, between Dauphin and Lancaster we of course took the lesser of two evils. The court ordered a non suit to be enter ed. Mr. North said, now that the case was disposed of, he deeinedit but justice to Mr. Righter to say that he knew him well; he was a man of wealth, station and bouor ; and that there was not in lbe.country u more upright and conscientious citizen.— The imputation that he was or could be tampered with was, as entirely groundless as it was unjust. Afternoon Session. —At the re convening of the Court at half-past two, P. M., a mo tion was made by counsel for the plaintiff, in tbe case off James M. Pettit vs. Charles E.

A Dreadful Affair—A Young Man Shoots Himself. —The Oxford Press sajß : A most distressing aud shocking affair occurred in our neighboring borough of Rising Sun, Md., tbe 10th inst, which cafised a thrill of horror to pierce the breast of every citizen of that quiet community. A young man named Vincent Augustus Q. Vandever, son of B. F. Vandever, aged about 22 years, deliberately shot himself through theheart, killing himself inatantiy. The circumstances attending this affair are us follows: Young Vaudever some weeks siuce went to Philadelphia where he obtained employ ment as conductor on one of tbe Chestnut street railway cars, and baviug associated with bad company, was finally arrested on the charge of baviog stolen about §3OO from a drover named Miller. At a hearing be fore au nldermau he was released on bail. Subsequently he came home, and was to report himself for another hearing next week ; but bis surety fearing that be would not appear, sent a city constable after bim on Friday. When the officer arrived at RisiogSun on tbe 10 30 A. M. train, be at tempted to arrest young Vandever at a hotel, and on producing a pair of handcuffs the young man’s father, who was present, interfered and told tbe officer that be should not be handcuffed. After a promise on tbe part of tbe father that be would accompany tbe officer and son to the city on the after noon train, the latter was allowed his lib erty. Snort! v after this affair it appears that young Vandever contemplated suicide, as be procured a bottle and obtained an ounce of muriatic acid at Dr. Kirk’s drug store ; the doctor supposing it was for his lather, who is a veterinary surgeon, gave it to bim, when be remarked, “ If a fellow would put this uuder his vest it would put his light out.” The dootor remarking that it would be a slow poison, proceeded to some other duty, and the young man went out, but presently returned w’ith another bottle and obtained au ounce of creosote, remarking *• He’s a poison, too.” On being informed that all caustic poisons would cause a slow and horrible death, he went home. He then bought at another store n sheet of paper, remarking that be intended to write nis will, lie then weut homo and deliber ately sat down at the desk aud wrote in a cool ami collected manner in the presence of his father and mother, the address to his friends which will be found below, ami which he placed in bis pocket. After par taking of his dinner as usual, be went up stairs for a few miuutes aud on descending took a short walk and then weut into tbe stable, where he shot himself. He was subsequently found by his father, who had prepared himself to go to the city, in the bay mow of the stuble, lying upon his back, dead. It was discovered that he had deliberately uubuttoned bis vest, turn ed it back and fastened it behind him, and then placed the muzzle of a large Colt’s re volver to his left side and fired. The ball bad entered betweeu the fifth and sixth ribs passed through the heart, and emerged about two inches below the shoulder blade. Tbe ball was fouud iu bis clothing. Tbe verdict of the jury was that the deceased came to his death by a gunshot wound by his own band. He evidently died iustantly, a& there were uo signs of struggle and ho was found upoD his back with hts pistol at his feet. The following is the letter written by tiie suicide about balfan hour before he mole biw lift*; it was written in a bold baud and fair penmanship: Rising Sun, Dec. 10tb, ISC9.

Smyrna.— The following description of Smyrna has been sent us by oiir corres pondent, “ Genii,” for publication : Smyrna Is situated on tbe road leading from Christiana to Georgetown, 2J miles from either place. Five roads intersect at the village, making it the principal thor oughfare for the exportation of grains, pro duce, Ac , of the western townships of Lan caster county. The iuhabitantß, both hon est and iudustrioufl, are noted for their hospitality to all, except, to “petty vendors” with which tbe plan-* ia ofteu iufested, who are greeted with universal dislike. The village coutaius five mechanical in stitutions and a large country store, over which is a spacious hall famous ior the large, well-attended prayer meeting*, lyco urns, singing schools, etc., held there. The iyceum, which in former winters excited so lively an interest, is about to be renewed tbe present season. To all are extended a hearty invitation to participate iu the exorcises thereof. The inhabitants aim not only at education al advaucemeuts, but are attentive to the manly pastime und muscular spore of “Base Ball,” (surnamed hard work,) of which was formed a large and vigorous club, known as “Smyrna Base Ball Club.” Playing weekly in the past summer sea sons, and now having retired from tbe field credibly, boast(astheir record proves) that they never lost a single " match.” An effort to raise a “ Brass Band” was made Home time since, but as yet has met with uo apparent success. The mail route from Quarryvillo to Christiana passes through this place, where the Post Office is uow situated—but au ef fort is being made to remove tho same to Cooperville, one mile south—thus com polling the carrier to a far worse road, and the aforementioned distance out of a direct route, should the project be approved.— The church, situated iu the village, under the supervision of Rev. William Easton, favors the community with service month ly. Presenting tbe foregoing brief, as also deficient description for the careful consid eration of your readers, we close our epis tle.

Yousa Men’s Christian Association. —Some thirty gentlemen favorable to the formation in this city of a Young Men’s Christian Association, met in tbe Hall in Kramph’s Building, East Orange street, last evening, to hear and consider the re-, port of a committee, previously appointed to draft a constitution for the government of the Association. Brother John H. Pear sol, of St. Paul’s German Reformed Church, was chosen President, and Brother Wm. L. Bear, of the Moravian Church, Secretary. The proposed constitution was read by arti cles and sections, which were discusseJ, amended, and adopted. The constitution provides that the society shall consist of foar classes of members—active, sustaining, honorary, aud life members—all of whom are to be of good moral character, the active members to be elected by a two-thirds vote; tbe sustaining members to pay an anDnal fee of §5; the honorary members a single fee of §2O, and the life members a single fee of $5O. Tho Constitution further provides that uone of the offices shall be filled by others than members in good standing of some of our Evangelical churches, no one denomination to bavo more officers thau the President and one other. There was bnt little discussion in the adoption of the Constitution until Brother “Pit Schwefflabrenner,” of Father .A bra ham, offered an amendment that none but total abstinents should be eligible either to hold office or be appointed on any Commit tee. “ Pit” urged the adoption of his amend ment with the zeal and eloquence usual in uew converts. Hiastyle was as animated determined, and defiant as it was years ago when he used to make Native American speeches in Frauke’s Beer Saloon aud Dit low’s Restaurant, after having iudulged freely in “Old Bock” or “XX.” Hia little eyes sparkled like coals as an occa sional glimpse of them was caught as they peeped from under his shaggy brows. He was uot satisfied by merely throwing cold water on tho Association, but was deter mined to submerge it entirely in that aquo ous element. President Pearsol, Brother Beardslee, and a few oLhers of the hydro pathic persuasion, listened to “ Pit” with evident delight, but a majority of the broth ers present looked as though tbey bad been subjected to an involuatary douebe bath und then wrapped up in wet blankets. Brother Landis was the first to shake off the icicles formed by “Pit’s” freeziog dis course, and in a few well-timed remarks intimated that outside issues bad perhaps be better left to outside organizations, and that any attempt to introduce them here would do mote harm than good. He was ably seconded by Brother J. M Willis Geist, who avowed himself a prohibitionist, al though unconnected with any of tho so called temperance organizations. lie re minded “Scbwtfllebrenner” that the stream even if it was wuter. could not ruu up hill aud get higher thau its fountain. This Association was but a stream from the fountain of tho Christian Church, aud no evangelical denomination of Christians had ever attempted to make total absti nence a test of membership. He warned “Pit” that any attempt to introduce such a test here, would deprive tbe Association of the sympathy and support of a large and useful class of Christians. Brother Wm. L. Bear spoke forclbiyand at considerable length on the same side, as did one or two other brothers, and when the vote was taken it was like the handleof a little brown jug,—all on one side,—still “ Schwelllebrenner” demanded a division, which was wisely refused him by Presi dent Pearsol, who, notwithstanding hia thirty-years abstinence, backed water for once, aud choked off “Pit,” much to the relief of several pious brothers, who were nervously watching, as, with pencil io hand we were ready to put them on record. But little difficulty was experienced in adopting the remaining clause of tbe Con slitution. A main object of the Association is to provide means by which our young men, and more particularly strangers com ing to settle among us, may be led to form moral aud religious associations, and thus escape tho shoals and quicksands by which tbey are surrounded. The object is most praiseworthy, and tbe members deservo every encouragement for their unselfish iuterest in the well-being of our young men. They will, doubtless, do much good, if they pursue tbe course they have murked out for tbemselvf-H, and do vise some means to keep quiet such fellows as “ Pit Schw* filebrenner,” who, like Dive* of old. yells for cold water every tin:*' seen Father Abraham. Ifit istbougi* n;i advisable to occasionally duck him in a horse-pond, or to have a bath-tub titL d up in the Hall, lor his special accommodation, perhaps so’me arrangement might be adop ted to have him shipped off to Harrisburg, among the pasters und folders. He would feel at home there, und have besides the benefit of tbe society of our beloved Gover nor, who has drank nothing but beer since he was seveu years old. Narrow Escape —Wo learn from the Newark Advci tiser that GbO. W. MersLon and S. Mersbon, of Columbia; Audrew Bell, E.

Emnti nel Kelgarf, bj-thc Members ol the l.ancnster Unr. Hon. Thomas E. Franklin, on rlsiDg to move the appointment of a Committee on Resolutions expressive of the sense of the members of the bar, on the death of their late member and associate, said, that the announcement of his death came so sud denly that it took him quite unawares. It was unnecessary to dilate on the character of the deceased. lie was a man of integrity, never swayed from anything that was con sistent with right. A gentleman of court eous deportment, a successful lawyer.— i Although retired from the bar for some j time, be was intimate with its members, j and with our citizens, and it was proper j that appropriate resolutions should be j passed. j Nathaniel Ellmaker, Esq., in seconding ' the motion, said that his earliest recollec I lion of Mr. Reigatt was as a friend of his ! father, which relation was coutinuod to himself He remarked to Mr. R. bofore taking his late trip to the West, that he feared be would never return, of which bo received a cheerful reminder on his return, by being asked why he wore au overcoat while Mr. R. hud none. He was cheerful, al though enfeebled in health. Although lie □ever held many important offices, he was a member oftho Convention whlrh framed Iho Constitution of our State. He was a man of industry. His death, coming so suddenly, excited in him feelings which lie could not now express. He thought the motion for the oppointment of n committee on resolutions proper. A. H. Hood, esq., said, ho became ac quainted with Mr, Reigart m 1833, during me political excitementof thotyear. lu 1831 ho studied law under him for about nine months, when a rule was adopted, that a studont must remain in an office for two years, which he (Mr. II.) could not, and he ceased. Ho (Mr. H.) became a clerk at Harrisburg, and was present stall the ses sions of the convention of which Mr. Reigart was a member. He owed it to his memory to say no man In that body exer cised a greater degree of care. He was un tiring to the people’s interest. If there was auy feature in the constitution more likely than another to make men happy, Mr. K. had as much to do with it asauy-inau there. Afterwards their offices were near, and be ; hud frequent conversations with the do ceased,aud bad many oflersofkinduessfrom him. He was a memborof the same party; a bettor man, one more upright and of more integrity could not be found, in hta youth bo was an athlete, of fine physical forma tion, well calculated to contend for the prize; but hia moral qualities were such he could not indulge in the exercise of bis powers for base purposes. With bis liner physical proportions, he had a contempt for such causes as aflected others. When treasou was talked übout, he, in a public meettng, moved that men over 40 years of should enroll themselves, and was the first to put his name ou the list, and became the captain of the company, thus showing his patriotic feelings. Over sixty yeuis of Hire and willing, if need be, to lay down Maine for his country. He felt it a duly to en dorse the motion. Hon. I. E. Hiester said it might be deem ed superfluous for him to say more upon the occasion, but was n beautiful custom, nnd it uppeared appropriate for every one who was associated with the departed, to testify to his virtues. He stood to him in u double relation. He was his father’s friend, and his friend. He was one of the links connecting us with our forefathers. He as sociated with them, and in bis age and de clining years associated with us. Reference had been made to his politics, but ho was conspicuous in his position as attorney. As a member of the Conyention alluded to, he was a man of respectability and iutlueuce. His name is connected with its most im portant acts. He felt it a duty to give this alight tribute, in addition to others. Hon. H. G. Long said he could not re frain from making some remarks ou ibis occasion. The deceased was an intimate friend of his brothers. He was admitted to the bar when a young man, and at once succeeded to a large practice. He was largely acquainted throughout the country, j and was able to speak tbe German lan guage. We were in the constant habit of visiting each other, and only last Friday I spent an hour and a half with him. Ho re ferred then with a great deal of pleasure to bts old preceptor, Mr. Ellmaker. We were of the same party, aud consulted together, also politically. We were elected as mem bers of the Convention referred to. All the members from this county, are gone but myself. Mr. Reigart. agitated, und was the means of introducing some of the most important measures. He offered that clause which requires a residence of ten days in the district to entitle a person to vote. He was also chairman of one of tbe important committees. He had great skill in manag ing his cases at the bar. In IMS or 1849 he at once retired from practice and went to Europe. He returned with a fund of infor mation, and I was often entertained with' his descriptions of what he saw. He was even tempered and affable. Speaking of his affliction during my late visit, he said, “Yes, this is the way appointed by Provi dence, and it is the way of all men.” Hon. A. L. Hayes said he thought it proper to add something. W’hen be became acquainted with Mr. Reigart, he found him a young member at this bar. He was ad mitted in 1822, and is the oldest member. On my appointment to the bench of this county, I met him again, and ho has since been my most intimate friend. He had a very large practice, and conducted it most successfully. He was brief in bis speeches, and judicious in the management of bis cases. He was a wise man—wise in con ducting his professional business and his own affairs. A man of very genial temper, and benevolent. His charities will proba bly be neyer known to the public. He was particular in concealing bis charities. _He was a faithful friend. He never plumed himself as an advocate, but his success proved hLs ability, his judgment and wis dom. Jesse Landis, eeq., said, that others may have been longer acquainted with the de ceased, but he doubted whether any aa inti mately. He was a friend of bis father’s, and was a friend to hlua, and took him, when he was quite young, into his office, and treated bim as a sou. He never knew a man to dispatch so much* business, in so short a time as he could. It was always done carefully and - successfully. His friendship was ardent He never heard him slander others. His whole life was honest. As a father, he could not be ex celled. His course might be envied by us all. He is gone, the last link is broken, the tie Is severed. However hard, we mus-t bow to;Him who deeth all things well; who is too wise to err. J. B Kauffman said he knew .him from boyhood. Their families were in closest intimacy. AU his recollections of him were pleasant. As a student of his, he received his fatherly care and assistaaca. He was benevolent, and never refused to assist tho needy. The following are the resolutions of re spect and sympathy, which were reported by the Committee appointed to draft them, andwbich were read and adopted : The members of the Lancaster Bar, hav ing beard with profound regret of the sud den demise of their late esteemed associate and frieud, Hon. Emanuel (J. Reigart, it is, Resolved, That we remember, io our de parted brother, one of ibo most successful aud distinguished practitioners ofau honor able profession; the cotemporary and worthy colleague of our fathers aud patterns in tbe Jaw; a wise and faithful public serv ant iu important trusts; au excelieut, Up right und most liberal citizen ; and au inti mate and respected persoual frieud of most of ourselves. That we tender to the surviving members of bis family our sincere sympathy in tbeir great bereavement. That the members of the Lancaster Bar attend his funeral in a body, as u mark of their high regard for tho deceased as a lawyer, statesman, and citizen. That a Committee of three bo appoiuted lo communicate these resolutions to the family of the deceased. That these resolutions be entered upon the minutes of the Court of Common Pleas of Lancaster county, and published in tho uewspapi-rs* of Lancaster. That Mysterious Tylkr-Barnard Affair.— The West Chester Village Record publishes the following: “ We published in the last Record an ac count taken from tho Lancaster Express concerning tho death of Mrs. Tyler, lute Barnard, which, upou inquiry, we learn is erroneous iu many respects, aud calculated to do injustice. Tho statement that the deceased met Tyler only a few weeks be fore the marriage is incorrect. Tyler was a connection of Dr. Alfred Weeks, who formerly resided in Chester county, in the neighborhood of Richard Barnard, the father, nnd while yisitiug at Dr. Weeks’, twenty-livo years ago,met Jemima Barnard aud {mid his addresses to her before she hud met Dr. Carpenter. Tyler made no pre tensions to relationship with President Tyler, beiog an eastern man. We also learu that Tyler has forwarded tho will to Chicago, where it was made, to have it proved by the witnesses who reside there, which certainly does not look as if Tyler had forged it. Mrs. Tyler suffered from a severe nervous atfectiou, and came very near dv ing from it last spring at Marshall ton. Her health was somewhat improved when she first reached California. Upon tho whole it would be better tiie public should suspend judgment uutil the whole facts como to light.” Register’s Office.— Letters of Admin istration have be*-n granted by the Register on the following Estates sincetho 11th inst.!: Henry IC.
