THE LEGISLATURE. HARRISBURG ' January 4. SE&ATE.—The Senate met at 9 o'clock, and was called to order by the Speaker, Hon. C. IT. Stinson. Prayer was offered by Rev. T. M. Griffith. The returns of elections were read. When those of the twentieth district were presented, Mr. Wal lace moved that Hiram Findlay be sworn ; the motion was ruled out of order by the Speaker. Mr. Wallace appealed from this decision, but was not sustained, and the newly elect ed members from districts In which their was no contest, were sworn In. Mr. Wallace again offered his resolution, presenting the certificate of Mr. Findlay, signed by the Return Judges front the three counties composing the district. Mr. White, of Indiana county, moved to amend by referring the case with all the papers to a Special Committee of three, to re port who was prima facie entitled to the seat. This led to a spirited discussion, the Democratic Senators insisting upon an observance of the usages white have here tofore prevailed in such cases. Senator Eowrv, of Erie, sided with them, and de clared" that the Republican members could not afford to commit such an outrage. On a vote lie was the only Republican who stood out against Mr. White's amendment, and it was adopted. The Senate then proceeded to the elec tion of Speaker, the Republicans voting for Mr. Stinson, and the Democrats, with the exception of Messrs. Buckalew and Brown, voting for Mr. W. M.

Story of Meitorn Lelgh—Mrn. Stowe's Mr. Charles Mackay, an English littera tore, has just given to the world, in book form, what ho calls the story of Medora Leigh—a story very revolting in itself, but the publication of which was no doubt In tended to anticipate Mrs. Beecher Stowe's promised additional revelations. Medora Leigh professes to be the offspring of Lord Byron and the Hon. Augusta Leigh—but on what authority other than a pretended declaration of her does not appear. There is what purports to be autobiography, in which she is mado to confess that she too had been guilty of monstrous offences, with illegitimate offspring he. Altogeth er, the revelation is a very disgusting one, and we should prefer to pass it by unnotic ed, but that meantime Mrs. Stowe's new book is printed, and it is worth while to point out the fact that it does not sustain the new revelation by Mackay nor the old one by Mrs. Stowe herself. The New York Journal of Commerce having been put in possession of the proof-sheets of the iilst production says: All that Mrs. Stowe says in the new book, she could have said :ind should have said, tritest she spoke at all, in her first At lantic paper, so that her entire charge against the memory of i,ork Byron might have been before the world at Ono time, and in a brief compass, and promptly con firmed, or refused, or relegated to the limbo of Ibis:eaten sensations. Her present ven ture looks liken piece of professional book snaking, of which the Atlantic article was but the cheap and successful advertisement in advance. " Professional book-making" is the exact phrase for this piece of literary patch-work and padding. It bears every appearance of having been written to sell— to take advantage, we mean, of the still lingering desfre to hear more of the shock ing story which rang through the papers TIIOIIOIS ago, and to profit by that love of indecent scandal widish the prurent littera hairs of Cho (lay find so much gain in cat ering to. It consists of .102 Pinto. pages, stud proves, upon analysis, to be only a hanunering out ofthe scanty data contained in the Atlantic paper (which also reappears its full,l a reprint and eXasnination of some of the nu,t,, and arguments °theist in defense of Lord Byron, a prodigiously tiresome effort to prove front passages in his works that he was not too good to commit incest, a few of Byron's poems bearing on his un happy marriage, and about live pages of matter that lusty be called new, though it is only au elaboration, still vague and unsat isfactory, of Mrs. Stowe's ',revisits report of I.ady ityron's statement to her. Not a partiele of direct proof of the alleged crime is adduced. The gist of the matter, as newly dressed up, is this! That _Lady Byron told Mrs. Stowe that one night in her presence, he (Lord Byron) treated his sister with a liberty which both shocked and astonished her" and that in conversa tions With his Wife subsequently, Lord By ron "boldly avowed the connection (with his sister) as having existed in time past, and as one that was to continue in time to conic, and implied that she must submit to it." Emil Byron did not say that she was a witness of any actual guilt between them, nor that any one else saw• evidences of it, or that she had a scrap of writing or any testi inony Whntever (other than Bytun's ipse dixil I going to eonlirin it. She does not al lege that Mrs. Leigh confessed her partici pation in the imputed crime. So much for the " hour of revelation" which 'Mrs Stowe hinted at so melodramatically in her Atlan tic paper. The "child born with the curse of sin on it" makes an equally shadowy figure in this book. Here is all that Mrs. Stowe has to say on this important topic, and we 'all the reader's particular attention to the evident desire of Lady Byron and Mrs. Stowe to shirk the responsibility of 'barging that there was all offspring of the alleged incest: " I asked. 'Was there a child?' I had been told by :qrs. - that there Was a daughter, who lived NOlllO years. "title said there was one, n daughter, who made her friends much trouble, being of a very difficult nature to manage. I had un derstood that at one time this daughter es caged from her friends to the continent, and that Lady Byron assisted in efforts to re i,,ver her. (if Lady Byron's kindness both to Mrs. Leigh and the child. I had before heard from Mrs. —, who gave me illy first infiirmation. This is eqasive and quibbling. The hu•t that Mrs. Stowe dodges the direct accusa tion, and gives no name to the WOlnall WllO told her "that there was a daughter,"l and slips away front this branch of the subject so quickly, shows that she does not fulls believe her insinuation to be true, though she is none the less wilhng to make it.— A curious discrepancy drops out in Mrs. Stowe's new version of her conversation with Lady Byron. It is this: Lady Byer' s:n•s dial on one occasion in her presence, before marriage, Lord Byron fainted away, and attributes his emotion to "fear of de tectbai" of the incest; anti yet, a few pages further on, we find her declaring that he freely acknowledged the crime to her, (of which she had no ocular or other proofs, I boasted of it, and justified it. The whole case, as now mak out, if we are to believe both Mrs. Stowe anti her heroine, rests On the assertion of Lord hym e n of his own guilt. But there is all abundance of testi mony on record that Lord Byron was ad dieted to the habit of pretending to have isimmitted the most monstrous offenses against 1/oil mid man, of which he was known to be perfectly innocent, and his de fenders may well insist that his reported confession to Lady Byron was only another instanee of his bantering, quizzical. sof f-se t 4 'my 11111110 r.

Developments in the Shoeppe (Tm Professor Rudolph Greist, of Berlin, Prussia, has written a letter dated Decem ber 111th, 1869, which is of considerable in terest in the ease of Dr. Paul Shoeppe. Dv this it appears that there is strong ground for the opinion that Dr. Shoeppe and his father are idendical with two persons, lather and son, of the same name, WhO were sonic years ago convicted in the Prussian courts, and sent to the penitentiary, for grand lar ceny, counterfeiting, (forgery) and receiv ing stolen goods. The documents tiled in the court during these trials, embraced a eonsiderable number of " very clever imi tations of other people's handwritings." 'rho original of the letter referred to was published a few days ago, in the New York ,Y:aats Zeit wag, and was republished in the torman Democrat of this city. Should the identity between the Berlin Shoeppes and the Carlisle Shoeppes be fully proved, it will be ;tilt to lesson the zeal of some of the Doctor's friends; though it does not neces sarily change the legal aspects of the mur der case in which he was o,llVieteli. In the Berlin trial, one of the most im portant witnesses was a liwksinith whom Paul Shoeppe had employed to make the key with which !.ihoeppe robbed his em ployer's safe, although the locksmith was innocent of Slmeppe's purpose in procur ing the key. That witness is now in New York city, and called at the office of the Slants Zeitung to corroborate the statement it. profess o r tireist's letter. It is now sus pected that the testimonials of character Shoeppe published some weeks ago are forgeries.

Historical Sketch of Trinity Lutheran The first Lutheran minister of whom we have any account as having preached in Lancaster. was a German missionary named John Christian Shnitze, who is said to have preached in the infant settlement between the years 1725 and 1730, at which time the Register of Baptism began, and is still preserved, probably in his own hand writing. He however, soon left for Europe to obtain pecuniary aid for the Pennsylva nia Lutherans, and never resumed his labors in this country. John Casper Stoever succeeded him. Tle emigrated from Germany, about 1725, as chaplain of a company of emigrants, and appeared in Lancaster, about 1733, first as a missionary; but having received a regular "call" in 1736, signed by the church mem bers, ho accepted it, and thus became the first regular pastor. He at once commenced the erection of a house of worship. It was built of stone, and stood in that part of the trz e n s t tr l e .. a u t th . e ran between t v :e Yar cl i i i iir s c i l t i va a t n e d i the sexton's dwelling. It was consecrated in 1 1738. It was furnished at that time with an hour-glass, by which the preacher was to I regulate the length of his sermons ; but as 1 Christians, in those days, liked the preach er to earn his money, they five years after wards.ii suspended between him and the congregate a sand-glass that measured an hour and . half, which they considered a reasonable length for a sermon ! Mr. Sloe ver made out to stand the pressure until 17:*1, when he emigrated to \ irginia; after which the congregation were casually min istered to by the gleat Henry NI elchoir Muhlenberg, of Philadelphia, and some missionaries, until 17.4.1, when, having made application to "the Archbishop of Swe den," they had sent to them a young sensa tion minister, named :Nyberg. So at tractive was this DWI'S manner of preaching, that he drew to hint multi tudes of hearers front other denomina tions, and he had soon to have his church enlarged to accommodate the increasing number of his admirers : lie was regarded as a " burning and shining light," but like too many preachers of our own day, the aduat ion bestowed upon him puffed him up with vanity, until, like I Ward Beecher, and other eloquent monstrosities, he began to teach doctrines deemed hereti eal be the simple-minded, old-fashioned disciples of Luther. " lie commenced to mutilate the Lutheran doctrines of Christ's Person, natures, office and states, and ridi culed those of repentance, faith, sanctifica tion, and 'prayer. He denied the spiritual washing of regeneration, and scouted the idea of 11w essential body and blood of Christ in the Sacrament. lie denounced the German Lutheran Universities as schools of Satan, and even expressed doubts as to the piety of Dr. Molchoir M uhlen berg. In MS Muftlenberg visited Lancaster, anti met the heretic face to face; and although scones of violence occurred between .heir respective adherents, justice triumphed, Nyberg abandoned the contest, :mil was finally deposed front the ministry by the power that had appointod him. Rev. J. Frederick liandsehuh was his suc eessor. Ile preached his first sermon in 17.6.1, and labored faithfully to heal the schism eaused by Nyberg. His efforts appear to have been crowned with success, the church records allowing a large increase in the number of communicants. A year or two afterwards lie married, but the lady of his choice being distasteful to a large number of his congregation, who seemed to think their pastor had no right to select a wife without consulting them, the reverend gen tleman resigned his pastorate in 1731, which left the church without a regular preacher for about two years. In 1753 Rev:John Siegfreed .crook took charge of the congregation as their Pastor. lie may be called the father imr Trinity Churoh;as, under his ministrations, a new impetus seemed to be given to the rause of religion, and it was during his pastoral term that the present church edinre was erected. 'the corner stone Was laid in 1701, and the building finished and consecrated in 1766—both events being attended with imposing religious ceremonies, a part of which was that after the corner stone had been laid in its proper position and its con tents seenred, each member of the Synod, and every church officer present, struck it three distinet blows with a mallet, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Ifoly ghost. When the building was com pleted it was 00 feet long by 60 wide, the walls being the same, that now sustain the edifice. The aisles were paved with brick, and stoves and heaters were then unknown luxuries. Hot bricks and other conveniences were carried to the church by the worshippers for the purpose of warming their feet while the preacher was warming their hearts. It was not until some years afterwards that Mr. Coleman presented the congregation with a large wood stove, and then for the first time they rejoiced in a tolerably com fortable church. .hods a year after the consecration of the new mmhurch, Mr. tierork received and accepted a call from the (Wr it= Lutheran Chureh, of New York.— Prior to leaving Lancaster, mutual testi monials of respect were exchanged be tween the Pastor amid his Congregation, the Vestry testifying to the faithful, diligent, devout and orthodox ministrations of their Shepherd, and he gratefully ark nowledg ing the many acts of kindness lie had re ceived during his fourteen years rest denee among them, mentioning among other things, that they had punctually paid hint the promised salary of £OO, Pennsylva nia Currency," which was worth at that time about £35 sterling, or tAI7S ! Perhaps this paltry salary had something to do with Mr. Gerock's removal In Now York. At all events, thin fmaiwaster Vestry opened their hearts in advertizing for a successor, and promised that he should "receive for himself and family, a healthy, suitable and free parsonage, kitchen-garden and the requisite stabling, ten cords of wood annu ally, i£2.5 Pennsylvania Currency, every quarter, and all the perquisites customary here." This tempting oiler of 6300 per an num remained mweeepted for nearly two years. Rev. Just Henry Christian Helmuth, a young ltrunswicker, of great zeal, talent and piety, took charge of the church in 170t1. His forte appeared to be the instruc tion of children by catechisation, and the enforcement of church discipline among the adults. In the former he was eminently successful, having 200 or 300 delighted chil dren to attend his cateclietical services. With many of the adults he hail some trouble, some of them being stiff-necked, but his indomitable courage and perse verance prevailed in making all observe ut least the outward forms of religion; and the church, capable of holding 1500 persons, was too small to accommodate his congre gation, while open gambling and drunken- ! ness, which had previously prevailed, were unknown among his people, even on Fair days. Ile often preached a dozen sermons in a week in dffierents parts of the county, sometimes riding a hundred miles to till his engagements. Ifis health failing, lie severed his connection with the church, and removed to Philadelphia. During the in terval between his resignation and the ap pointment of his successor, the pulpit was occasionally supplied by divines of other denominations, among whom WAS the cele brated Whitfield, who was perhaps the first minister who ever preached an English sermon within the walls of Trinity Church. Rev. ( lotthilf Henry Earnest Muldenberg was the next Pastor. Having received and accepted a call in 1700, at the age of 27, he faithfully served his church until the time ' of his death in ISIS, a period of :15 years.— lie was the son of Rev. Henry Helchoir Muhlenberg (before mentioned as one of the most talented and influential Lutherans of his day, and grandfather of Rev. Henry A. Huhlenberg, of Reading, and Prof. F. A. Muhlenberg, of Gettysburg College. Ile was the first American born minister that the church in Lancaster had ever had, and is perhaps more favorably known than any other. His private journal, official church documents, and memoranda, are more co pious and aecu rate in detail than any other. The revolutionary war was at its darkest hour when he assumed his charge. The previous winter had seen the patriots suffer ing at Valley Forge and in New Jersey.— Trade sits unsettled, the currency derang ed, and the country flooded with irredeem able paper. And yet the indomitable preacher not only kept his congregation together, but in a few years added largely to their numbers, and had erected the lofty steeple of which Lancaster is yet so proud. It is 105 feet in height, and at the time of its erection was the highest in the country ex cept Christ Church, Philadelphia, which was lint 1 foot 8 inches higher. The building of the steeple entailed a heavy debt on the church, which -was afterwards liquidated by the proceeds of a grand lot tery originated by Muhlenberg and legal ized by the State Legislature. It is impos sible in a brief article to note the unremit ting labor, and constant watchfulness, which this eminent man bestowed upon his church. Powerful as he was, both in body and mind, he literally worked him self to death in the cause of his Master. He died suddenly in 1815, in the 62d year of his age. His death caused universal grief, and his body was followed to the grave by an immense concourse of mourners. He was buried near the church in which lie had so long and usefully officiated. After the death of Mr. Muhlenberg, the church made a call for the services of his son, the Rev. Dr. H. A. Muhlenberg, as their pastor. The call was declined, Mr. Muhlenberg recommending to them Rev. Christian L. F. Endress, of Eas ton, who accepted the call tendered him, and entered upon his services in the fol lowing October. Until his time, the servi -6s had been invariably conducted in the German language. He, however, adopted the plan of having German services in the morning and English in the evening. The brick with which the aisles of the church had been paved, were taken up, and their place supplied with a yellow pine floor. The black curtains were removed from the pulpit and dilltimunion table, which were covered with crimson silk velvet. All these innovations occasioned great dissatisfac tion among a portion of the congregation, the crimson velvet cover for the commu nion table, being looked upon by many as little better than the scarlet woman; and the number of those who communed, de creased fearfully. With the tda* cover on Easter, 1818, 203 persons received the sa crament; with the red cover, on the following Whitsunday only 105 ; at Michael-ma, only • 05 ; and at Christmas, 10! " And all nn account of the crinist n covering," says Dr. Endress. For a time the excitement Was intense, and the church was divided intohostile factions of redtuad black; The former, however, finally tri umphed, the storm blew over, and, the black sheep having lost their terror of the gaudy crimson'," gradually returned to the common fold. In 1820 Dr. Endress was selected by the General Synod of the S. to translate their proceedings into English, and in 1821 he assisted in the translation of an English catechism. In the meantime the members of the church who ape= English language still pressed their for precedence over their German brothers, who were equally determined not to allow the Church to become Anglicized. The contest waxed warmer and warmer until 18`27, when, the German element being out-voted, seceded, and established, the present German Zion's Church. Dr. En dress died in the hill of the same year and was buried in the graveyard near the rest ing place of his predecessor. Rev. John Christopher Baker was the next pastor. After having preached in Germantown, north of Philadelphia, for 15 years, he received a call in November 1827, from the Lancaster church, at the very time that his oldest son, a charming and prom ising boy, was lying a corpse. Notwith standing his domestic affliction, Mr. Baker promptly accepted the call, though he did not arrive in Lancaster until the following January. He immediately set about organ izing a Sunday School Society to be con nected with the church. On the 9th of March the school was opened, and contained no less than 63 teachers and 413 pupils ; and before the close of the year 812 testaments, spelling books and primers had been pur chased for their use. Mr. Baker continued to preach with good effect in troth Ger man and English. In 1832 an effort wag made to build a Sunday school house, but the work was not accomplished till 184.2, at which time the large two-story brick building now occupied for that pur pose was finished. In 1850 a portion of the real estate belonging to the church was sold, arid with the proceeds, what is now known as "Woodward Hill Cemetery," was purchased, and laid out in lots. In a year or two, however, it passed into the hands of an independent corporation. Ono of the last important acts of Mr. Baker's pastorate was the opening of the James street Mission School. On the Ist of Nov. 1852, Mr. Baker sent to the Vestry his un conditional resignation, though his connec tion with the church was not finally severed until the 90th of January, 1853, on which day he preached his farewll sermon to an • immense and sorrowful audience. He took charge of St. Luke's Church, Philadelphia, where he ministered until the time of his death, in 1859. His lx>dy was brought to Lancaster and interred iti Woodward If ill Cemetery. Rev. tied. F. Krotel took charge of the church in 185:1, after the resignation of Dr. Baker. lie was the first pastor that preach ed exclusively in the Engligh language. During his pastorate in 184:3-54, St. John's Lutheran Church in West Orange street was built, and the interior of his own church was entirely remodelled, all the old pews and other woodwork having been removed to make room for the present ele gant appointments, including the new organ and the new chime of bells. Tlle church was re-dedicated on Sunday, May 21, 1854, and although it rained all day the building was tilled with a glad and fes tive throng assembled to participate in the interesting ceremonies. In 1861 the church had completed the one hundredth year of its existence, which was celebrated by a Grand Centenary - .1 übil ee , on the 19th of May, 1661. About this time Dr. Krotel made known his intention of resigning his charge, though he did not finally sever his connection with the church until the close of 1861, when he left Ow city to accept a call from New York. Dr. Krotel is a learned and eloquent divine, and was universally loved by his church. Rev. 'Frederick W. Conrad, a political stump orator from Dayton, Ohio, followed Dr. Krotel, preaching his first sermon in March 1862. His penchant for preaching political sermons, a Is E k eeeher, and driv ing fast horses, a Bonner, soon disgust ed the greater portion of his congreizatinn. a ffa "tf‘ftu nave disgusted all of them, had it not been for the angry passions stirred up by the great rebellion. At the end of the war, finding that Ins vocation was gone, he resigned and left town, greatly to the re lief of the congregation, and our citizens generally. Rev, Samuel Laird, a talented and elo quent young preacher, who had been ordained but a year before, entered upon the pastoral duties in September ISG-1. He was well liked by the congregation, though, perhaps, in his sermons he too frequently mated his favorite hobby, the "Second Advent." He resigned in May, ISB7, and went to Pittsburg, the gond wishes of the entire congregation following him. Of the Hey.' Dr. Dreenwald, the present pastor, it is not our purpose to speak. Al most every man, woman and child in our community knows hint. lie has an open hand, a friendly smile, and a kind word for The present number of eominunicants in the 'hureh of the I 10l v Trinity hi about NM), and there are an equal number of children attending the Sunday Schools connected with the chureh. A MAI, Br 1.1. AT LA inn I.: I N CON E,T OCiA CENTRE— , Yereral .Yarrou , Escapes front Death.—Our Conestoga Centre correspon dent writes that great) terror and consterna tion pervaded the inhabitants of that village yesterday, for some time, but in particular the female portion, in consequence of an enraged bull being on the streets, and at tacking everybody and everything that came within his reach. .Mr. B. F. Hooker a butcher of this place, purchased this bull to slaughter, and yesterday morning sent one of his hands to fetch hint. The bull went quietly until he came to the gate lead ing into the yard, which adjoins the slaugh ter-house, when he became stubborn, made a dash at the men who were trying to drive him in, and escaping from them, he ran about three miles before he could be stop ped by the united efforts of the four or five men Who went in pursuit of him. On th• way back he met two teams .and attacked them, but was driven off before he co old do more t h an gore one of the mules. Ile also made an attack upon Mr. Christian E. Mil ler, who had scarcely time to get behind a large tree, against which the bull butted several times. Ile followed Mr. M. several times around the tree, who fell once, strik ing his face against the rough bark of the tree, skimming his face very badly. He then went pretty quietly until he came again to the place where he had first got stubborn, when he became perfectly fren zied with rage, attacked Mr. Hookey, but ting hint three times against a fence, but fintunately not hitting him with his horns, Mr. 11. being between the horns which stood wide apart. The bull then got hint down on the ground tramping on hint and goring with his horns. He then left Mr. H. to attack those who were trying to drive hint off, when Mr. If. escaped. Mr. H. is con siderably bruised. The hull then went for everybody ho saw, and he soon had the street in this part of the village to himself. The alarm spread with lightning rapidity, and a rush was made, through the lots, fur the Western Division 'Primary School, a.s it was only about 100 yards distant,•and it was the time of the noon recess. Although this school-yard is enclosed by a good fence, there is a small opening which was intended for a gate, but the gate was not made, and so it remains open. It was feared the bull might get in there among the Go children at the school, who are all small. We hope the Board of Directors will soon have that place supplied with a gate. Messengers were also sent to the other schools in warn the scholars. The bull, however, after having cleared the street, took the opposite direction, going to the extreme east end of the village, about a mile and a half and then returned. lie attacked every person he saw, and several persons, who were on the street, made very narrow escapes, especially one woman.— As soon as he saw her he made a rush for her—she just getting through a gate and before she had it fully closed he rushed against it. In a short time after he com menced. his ravings a crowd of over 100 men, armed with shot-guns, revolvers, pistols, axes, clubs, etc., collected. TIC was several times shot at and wounded, which only increased his frenzy. He dashed through the streets, his tail high up lashing the air, his head near the ground, blood and foam dropping from his mouth and nostrils bellowing and roaring like mad, lie was finally dispatched opposite the Western Division Primary Sehool-house, by a lucky shot—a slug striking hint in the head. That no human lives were lost, where in many persons are always on the streets, seems al most In iraculons.

Shenk, of West Donegal twp., had a goose which was noted for its age. She was 51 years old when killed by a fox some time in 1869. In the season of 1859 she laid 87 eggs, since that she did not lay any eggs, nor set to batch. The death of this goose was much regretted by Mr. Shenk, as he was anxious to see how long she would live. Mr. Shenk is one of our old est citizens. In 1801 he cut his initials, M. R. S., 1801, on a land turtle, and in 1802 on another. They were occasionally seen on his farm afterwards. The one of 1801 was seen last in 1867, and the one of 1802 was found dead last summer, 1869. NEW SCHOOL HOL'SE.—The School Direct ors of Rohrerstown district have decided to build a new school house on the Harris burg pike, not far from Mr. Imrnel's Hotel. THAT TTLICH-BEHHARD 'CASE AGAIN.— Mr. John A. Tyler, the husband of Mrs. Jemina Tyler (aeed.), late Barnard, writes the following letter to the West Chester Village Record in which he utterly denies the troth of the recent article written and published by the editors of the Express, of this City:, in which it was stated that from appearances he (Mr. Tyler) had poisoned his wife. Mr. Tyler writes, as follows: Drii,ss VALLEY, Nevada co., Cal. December 19th, 1869. Editor Village Record, West Chester, Pa, • Sin: Before leaving your town on the 14th of October last,. my late deceased wife, Mrs. J. B. Ttl e r e r, subscribed for your paper, which hasn regularly received, and which I have attentively read with plea Sure and profit. Ton will therefore readily un derstand my surprise and mortifica tion when I - read your cruel and unjust article concerning myself and late wife in your weekly of the 11th inst. For want of time I am compelled to be brief in my re ply; my feelings, too, are such that I can not now express myself in a suitable man ner. First permit me to say that the entire article, so far as it reflects in the slightest degree on my character or conduct as a gentleman, a kind and affectionate husband, is unqualifiedly an unmitigated calumny and falsehood. Justice to the living and the dead require me (reluctantly) to recap itulate what under ordinary circumstances should be kept and held inviolate. In 1844 (while reading and preparing for my pro fession, at :Natchez, Miss.,) I was on a visit to a friend, now an eminent physician of F. street, Philadelphia, then of Chaster county, Pa. During this visit I became acquainted with, and for some time thereafter corres ponded, with"the late Mrs. Tyler; hut for reasons which concern no one now living,' this intercourse ceased for some years. In the meantime, we both married; I in Cali fornia, she in Pennsylvania, not knowing, (then) of each other's whereabouts. Thus things remained until the present year, when, through a mutual friend, I learned of her being single. Being also free myself, I immediately re-opened a correspondence, which, as you are aware, has resulted in our marriage—a few brief weeks of as per fect happiness as ever falls to the lot of human beings, a trip across the continent, sickness and death closes the scene, of a pure spirit, an affectionate wife, a most amiable and accomplished lady. Thus you see that this ha.s been no sudden acquain tance and marriage for the little amount of property owned by Mrs. Tyler, but on the contrary, an acquaintance of twenty-five years' duration. Never was a union ce mented, based upon„ or consumated upon more pure and disinterested motives. I did not previously know that she possessed a dollar in the world. All . l knew was, that sick or poor, she was dearer. to me than all the world beside. Never have I claimed to be connected in the remotest degree with ex-President Tyler or any other great man always believing and acting on the princi ple that " Honor and shame from no con dition rise." Neither have Ito any person living or dead professed to be possessed of great wealth. I have sufficient for my own use, and am not tinder the necessity of hunting more by marriage. • And now we come to where you say the plot thickeners. Please let us analyze this dreadful plot. A lady who has for many months been under the care of a physician, is or would have been forty-three years of age the 30th of January, 1870, about the period of life usually attended with radical, and often fatal changes in females. This lady, being engaged, writes to her affianced from Oxford on the 24th of August last, thus: " I feel so utterly miserable at times, that death might snatch me on at any Mo ment, and on this account, had you not better come soon?" (I have all her letters). We are married ; come to West Chester, where she sees and arranges in a systemat ie, methodical and business like manlier, with her attorney, her business affairs. At Philadelphia I telegraphed (or got the railroad agent to do so) to Harrisburg to secure a good state-room on the ears. To be free from annoyance, I secured on the whole trip to California a whole section, (berths for four persons). During the en tire trip ample testimony will shore that this lady, the wife of my bosom, whom I had so recently sworn to protect, and whom nun otosesa.rwlly remembered and hived through the vicissitudes of 25 years, was most tenderly eared for e'that everything that kindness, humanity—love dearer than my own mind could - suggest was done for her comfort. No office that poor frail na ture demands but was cheerfully attended to. Arrived at Chicago, and being greatly fatigued with travel, it was thought best to lie over a (lay or two. While here she re newed and reiterated her request to have her will written. The very mention of which was to me as the knell of despair, foreboding as it did, what soon, alas, fol lowed. I tried to dissuade lier. I ler reply was, " Life is uncertain, we don't know what may happen." At length after fre quent solieitatios, I spoke to the proprietor litt the Evertt House) where we stopped. He recommended Mr. T. 1.. Humphrey ville as a good attorney. Mr. li. came, wrote the will as Mrs. 'Tyler dictated. I was not near when it was done. I knew nothing of its tenor or purport. I did not know until after her decease, and I had taken steps to probate the will, that she had ever made a former will. This being accomplished and anxious to get to her journey's end, we came on to this place and put up at the hotel where I had previously engaged rooms. I had on ninny occasions earnestly so licited her to allow me to mill a physician. But this she strenuously refused, always saying, " Ile van do me no good." Never theless, I did succeed some - four or live times in getting her consent to have a doc tor conic and talk with her, and on the last fatal night, a few hours before the final scene, she herself allowed me to call in a doctor, knowing, as I am now convinced, that he could do neither good nor harm. Thus I was bereft; and 0, that death could have taken me too. .In this act, the fell 'despoiler has cr(relly rubbed me of all that is worth living for. A day or two before her departure, she requested her landlady to write back to her Mewls atta wit them of the tender treatment she had received— the very landlady who, beerruse.l (lid not open and present to her Mrs. Tyler's ward robe, has, gossip and busy-body like, been one of the principal agents in prompting this noted Nevada !wryer you speak of, a man I cannot stop to characterize as he de serves to be, but of whose standing any one (anions on such matters may as certain ir . k conferring with Williams it Johnson,Attorneys of Nevada ; Hon. A. C. Niles, County Judge ; Hon. E. W. Rob erts, State Senator, Nevada county; Ezra I Tuttle, Thos. Lloyd, and many, many I others of Grass Valley. But you will say, "people don't act without a motive. - - \\ hat could have induced this man to move in this matter, awl to make these charges ? Simply for this: Ist, I did not employ him as attorney in the case ; bitter and ma lignant animosity against the institution of Masonry ' I belonging to the fraternity, and Mrs. Mrs. Tyler being interred in .Masonic gromal,. ild, by harroying up the feelings of the absent connections, an opportunity is offered for a fee, something he rarely gets here. But I will not disgust you with I anything more of the miscreant noW. You ' may rest assured I shall demand a judicial investigation of this whole matter. Suffice it to say, I have heretofore befriended him, and this is his gratitude. And now, as by giving publicity to this horrible fiction you have done me such an injury, can yon, will yon do less than publish this, my brief reply. The injury done me is irreparable; no time can etlkce it. Years hence, when you and I have mouldered to dust, some fiend, some human hyena will thrust this cruel sheet, the Village Record of Dec. 11th, 1869, preserved, perhaps, for the purpose, 1 into the face of niv son, saying, "See what 1 your father did!" Most earnestly, sir, I beg you will not refuse Me' this defense. Your article will he copied, circulated and spread broadcast over the land ; then can you find it in your heart to so unjustly asperse a fellow man and give lam no chance of redress? As for the little amount of property disposed of by this will, it is less than the dirt under my feet, compared with the loss of so pure and tenderly belov ed a wife. God grant the vile traducer who has so cruelly sought to min my character may live to see his malice recoil on his awn heid. Another favor I beg of you is, to request the Express to copy the article. Respectfully yours, J. A. Tv LER. -Truth crushed to earth shall rise again; The eternal years of God are her's, But error, wounded, writhes In pain, And dies among her worshippers.' P. S.—One or two things I have neglected to mention; let, the Probate Court had ap pointed for attorney for the absent heirs, Mr. Caldwell, an able, honorable, high minded gentleman, whom this intriguing has had removed to make room for him self! 2d, in your article you say Mrs. Tyler had consumption, and yet because she died soon after arriving here, after the fatigues of a long journey, it becomes a criminal offense in me because I could not prolong her life. The property disposed of by her will,.it is to be supposed, was her's to do pith as she pleased. • Again, please publish this, and I shall he ever your debtor.

EcW tors: As you have been favored of late with communications relative to School Matters in Eden twp. t I send you the fol lowing article respecting the same subject. I think it my duty in the first place to give a few statistics relative to the area of Eden twp. - Eden twp. contains 13 square miles, Which equals 8,320 acres, which at 20 cents per acre, will erect a school house at a cost of $1,664, and 20 cents per acre will furnish five teachers at a salary of $35 per month for 7 months in each school house and allother local expenses such as fuel, repairs, etc., for each year. If persons, advocating the views of the correspondent mentioned, held the reins of school government in Eden tarp., the result would be a sad one. In 1860, as will be seen by the census, Eden twp. contained 1086 inhabitants-83 7-13 to be supported on each 640 acres of land; at that date there were more than 300 children in said township, between the ages of 6 and 21 years, and there were but 4 miserably constructed hovels (called school houses) in which to educate those 300 children in. I would here state that Eden twp.. in view of this condition of educational affairs, raised in less than 3 years—during a time of war—. from $1,500 to $2,000. The township can certainly do now, without financial embar rassment, what it was willing and able to do in a time of war. The correspondent alluded to say that to build new houses rapidly—one every few years in a comparatively poor township and lay a tax for the whole amount the same year, (which amounted from 50 cents to $1 an acre on the most fertile land), was con sidered extravagance. He says "Hence some of our best citizens became a little aggravated, and the result was a check" tint upon,school-house building and educa tion. I should like to know whether good citizens are not willing to obey good laws. Now I appeal to every good citizen, if the Common School Law is not a good law. During the last 20 years Eden township has built two public school houses, one in 1866, 40 by 32 feet, at an expenseof $2,000; in 1869 WC erected another school house, 36 by 30 feet, at an expense of about $1,700, and the township needs 3 more school-houses which will cost. about 85,000—after which Eden township can rest for 40 years at all expense of 20 cents per acre for educational purposes and have comfortable houses, in which fp educate the young of the township. Surely it is the duty of every good citizen to fur ther, rat her than hinder the progress of ed ucation. PEW:EA ITEMs.—Our correspondent at Perinea, this county, sends us the follow ing interesting items : At a recent election of officers, held by Philos Lodge, No. 152, Knights of Pythias, the following officers were elected : Venerable Patriarch—D.C.

On New Year's day Mr. John Iles had a fox chase, it being the largest gathering of the kind that has been hold in the township for a long time—there being about ono thousand persons present.' The fox made a run of about twenty miles. Mr. S. J. HendersOM killed two hogs re cently that weighed respectively 4d7 and 487 pounds; said hogs were something over a year old. - John Clark of Salisbury, killed a hog, a short time since, that web **led 578 pounds ; the hog was 18 months old. Dr. D. F. Morenzy recently gave a lec ture on anatomy, to quite a large audience, in the village of White Horse. Mr. Kennel had a mule killed at (lap Station, a few days ago, out of a team of six.

He ran into Mr. Kennel's team—the shaft penetrating the mule's right side, and, passing through it, killed it al most instantl y. Yank ITEMS.—Our correspon dent " Dave" sends US the following: "Since my last there have been several more lots purchased for building purposes and the prospects are that more will be sold before spring. There are also several val uable properties for sale iu the village, at reasonable prices and persons wishing to invest in that kind of property would do well to purchase, as rents are very high and there are not houses sufficient to supply the demand. The fever runs high at present among renters and the question is where will I get a house, and bids run high to save the trouble of moving, which is one of the great evils of the present day. N. P.

MARKETS The Tobacco Market After diligent inquiry we are unable to quote any price for new Pennsylvania seed. No part of the crop has, as yet, been brought into this market, and commission merchants and buy ers here steadily refuse to name a price for It, except it may be for extra lot s,whieh they may wish to put up for their awn consumption. The reason appears to be that the views of buyers and sellers are very wide apart, and it is too soon after the commencement of the year for them to have come together. Our far mers are naturally expecting similar prices to those they received a year ago, while buyers expect much lower prices to prevail. They esti mate that twenty thousand eases Of old seed tobacco were on hand January Ist, Pi7o, of WI) 'eh l sea thousand eases were Pennsylvania seed. The new crop of 18in is estimated at eighty-five thousand cases, of which fifteen thousand cases are Pennsylvania seed, nearly all of which is grown in Lancaster county. This makes a total of 11}5,000 cases now on hand, which Is about twenty-five thousand cases more than the estimated stock outland Jan uary Ist, 1869. This fact will have controlling influence on the further course of prices; In connection with the unsettled state of finan cial matters, it serves to make buyers very cautious. The condition of the crop In this county is believed to be fair; it is thought that there is a larger proportion of It than last year, of extra quality.
