Rev. Nathaniel A. Keyes may be regard
ed as the originator of SG Paula Church.
He had been called as Pastor of the old
derman Reformed Church, as early as
1847; but, unlike all his predecessors, he
was unable to preach in the German lan
guage.. As the congregation was rapidly
becoming Anglicized, this did not make
any 'very material difference; but, a few
pious, old-fashioned German members
,could illy brook the English innovation;
'they wanted a German preacher, and to
mollify them the services of Rev. D. Y.
Heisler were secured to preach to them in
their own language every alternative Sun
day. The English members of tho Consis
tory being in a majority, determined to
have English preaching every Sunday
morning. This roused the German ele
ment in the congregation; they mustered
their forces, and in September, 1849,
a aster who could preach in both
de
languages. This demand not being heeded
by the Consistory, the Germans held a con
gregational mooting in the grave-yard, on
the Ilth of October, (having been refused'
the use of the church for that purpose,) and
resolved that the services of Mr. Keyes
should be dispensed with after January I,
1850. Soon afterwards, Mr. Keyes preach
ed a sermon, in which he urged the neces
sity of building a new church for the Ger
mans, that both portions of the congrega
tion might be served in their own language,
and that some plan might be devised for an
amicable division of the church property.
His views were adopted in a subsequent
congregational meeting, whereupon the
German portion of the congregation, in
cluding the officers of the meeting, who
were opposed to the measure, withdrew,
determining to await the issue of the pend
ing election for church officers, In January,
1850, The election proved to be a scene of
indescribable co nfusion, but resulted in
the election of the German candidates by a
majority of three voles, [not one vote as
stated in our sketch of the Ist Reformed
Church last week.] Mr. Keyes at once
proposed to resign the Pastorate, but was
urged by his friends not to do so. The next
day subscriptions were solicited for the
building of a new church, to bo devoted
entirely to English services, which met
with successful encouragement. Leban
on Classis was appealed to to initiate
measures to restore peace, or effect an
amicable separation of the Church, and
an equitable division of the Church proper
ty. Classis appointed a Committee to ad
just the difficulties, who, after long and
tiresome. investigation, finally decided to
give the seceders the Lancaster Cemetery,
(then owned by the Church) and allow the
old congregation' to retain the Church
property, the parsonage, and the schoo,
house. Messrs. Keyes and Slender both
resigned; but were authorized to serve their
respective congregations as stated supplies.
Tho old congregation wits further direeteo
to give certificates of dismissal to all win,
wished to participate in the organization of
a now English Reffirmed Church; and Mr.
Keyes was directed to organize them Into
a church at the earliest period practicable.
The following is the tirst entry in the
minute book of the new Church:
" A meeting of seceding members of the
Germain Reformed Church of the City of
Lancaster, ('a,, was held in the Leciure
Room of said Church, on Wednesday eve
ning, Feb. lith ISSII, for the purpose of taking
steps preparatory to the formation and Or
ganization of a new German Reformed
Church."
On the 12th day of Feb. the consistory of
the old Church having declined to grant
certificates of dismissal to the seceders
on the ground of "indecent haste," tiny
proceeded to organize themselves into a
new ..ongregationn. 1.1.1.•r5, Deacons, and
Trustees were appointed, and Mr. Keyes
waS unanimously elected pastor, receiving
28 nude votes, the sisters preset giving
their united assent to the election by ris
ing.
The now congregation at once went vig
orously to work. Tlie old Franklin College
on Lillie street was secured as their tempo
vary plain of meeting. Dr. Samuel
Humes' lot on the North-east corner ot
Duke and orange streets, was purchased
for the site of a new church building.
Mr. Keyes wag formally elected Pastor
at a salary of .1. W. Jack seas selected
to build the new Church at a cost of 33,510;
the Lancaster Cemetery was sold to the
lot-holders for 52,000, the congregation re
taining 100 lots. The services preparatory
to laying the vornerstone of the new church
were celebrated on Sunday, September 15,
1550, in the old Reformed iffitirch, Rev. 1/r.
Zacharias of Frederick, Md., officiating,
assisted by Rey. Alfind Nevin, Rev. 11.
Harbaugh, and the pastor, Mr. Keyes. The
corner stone was laid on the following,
afternoon (Monday, Sept. Ifith, 11)5)),1 ac
companied with very interesting cere
monies conducted by the above lianied
clergymen. The building - of the church
occupied about a year after the hiving of the
corner stunt., and eost, in.arly *Lem more
than the contra.•t prie... The church which
had previously been indifferently called the
"Second Rennin...l Church ," the "New
Reformed ('hur.•ll," ,tc., was ~n the .sth 01
November, by a resolution of the Consis
tory, named ''Sr. l'w v l.'s." It seas dedi
cated with appropriate ceremonies on the
Cult of November, Issl, the Rev..). F. Mes
ick, of Harrisburg, and Pastor Keyes
officiating. The entire week preceding the
dedication hart born set apart by the con
gregation for religions worship and thanks
giving, several eminent ministers from
abroad participating, and assisting One
Lancaster clergy.
Mr. Keyes remained pastor until the fall
of 1835, and had the pleasure of knowing
that not nil,' had the new Church been or
ganized and built (hiring his pastorate, but
that it had also been entirely paid for. A ,
early as April 1832, he had 'hinted at an in
crease Of salary, which was then but MAO ;
but the Consistory resolved that the Church
finances would not warrant it. In May,
1631,11 e inffirini•d the Consistory that his
salary was imt sufficient to meet current
expenses. That body, not being able to
see mei r way cienr to raise the salary, called
a Congregational meeting, by whom a Coln
mitteti was appointed to devise means.
They raised by subscription 31513. Mr.
Keyes accepted the amount, "expecting.
however, that the Congregation would do
more." The onmittee seemed to think
that they had done enough, as they say die
Congregation has "done nobly in contrib
uting nearly SUMO for the support of the
P netor, which intuit certainly be a soma.,
of gratitleatiou" to loin. They had cer
tainly been doing very well, as by the fol
lowing February they had paid off then
entire Church debt.
On the lot of September, 1855, Mr. Keye
handed to the Consistory his resignation a
Pastor, to take effect on October lst.
Congregational Meeting was at once called.
by whom a e.mini lee iris appointed to
iplire into the particulars of the resignation.
Mr. Keyes informed the committee " that
his resignation wits not the result of a de
- sire to dissolve the Pastoral Charge of this
Congregation, uninfluenced by properi•on
liiderations ; but from a conviction that his
peculiar situation in the German Reformed
Church demanded such a course; and that
although this consideration formed the
basis upon which rests his resignation, the
failure on the part of some of the members
of the congregation to sustain him by their
presence at Divine worship, and the tippled;
• to rally around hint with their counsel and
;;ssistance, strengthent•il his resolution to
resign."
his resignation was accepted, acerimpan
iel by a series of highly colliplinientary
resolutions, ;mil an additional pecuniary
donation of $242. Oni leaving Lancaster
Mr. Reyes riffitoved to Illinois, where he
was soon afterwards °levied pastor of a
Congregational Church, which he served
until the time of his death in 1837. The
oongregation of St. Paul's, on hearing ot
h's death, passed a series of resolutions of
o indolence, one of which requested that his
hairy might be brought to this city fin M-
I rment, and appropriated funds for that
p.trrinse ; but Mrs. Keyes could not make
up
,her mind to accede to the raspiest,
whereupon, the funds raised, were donated
to her. Mr. Keyes, though never very
closely identified with the theology of the
Reformed Church, as expounded by its
present professors, was dearly iteloVed as
a pastor ; and we have licaril some of the
itch members of the congregation say he
was the best pastor the church Oyer • had.
Ile Was very learned and had travelled
extensively through Europe :mil the I
Land,
From October, 11.53 to Feb. 1850, the con
gregation was supplied casually by the
ltev. Messrs. 'Wiggins, Davis, Reid,
Fritchie, Duryea, Waller and others.
Rev. Isaac S. Demund, of Bellville,
was unanimously elected Pastor on the sth
of Feb. 1850, and i t call forwarded him, with
a salary of *tail() per annum, Which was ac
cepted, and NI r. Delmont entered upon hie
pastorate in the following April, and min
istered to the congregation fin eight years,
when he resigned, accepting an unsolicited
call from a congregation in Paramus, N.. 1.,
"believing that his health mighcbe heinetit
ed or improved by the change, and the
prospect of greater usefulness inn that field
of labor." Ins resignation was very re
luctantly accepted by the congregation,
who adopted a series of ri.solutions Highly
eomplimentary to Mr. Pennon!, and order
ed them to be entered upon the Church ree
ls:do, :red published in the newspapers.
Mr. Deinund was highly eilueated,though
not brilliant as an orator, Ile was anti
liturgical and " low church" in his views
of the sacraments. In person he was tall,
erect, and prepossessing, and alWays ele
gantly dressed. •
Rest. Cyrus Cori., of Altoona,Pit, preach
' el a trial sermon for the congregation on
the 15th of May 1851, whereupon he was
unanimously elected pastor, and a call made
on him for his services at a salary of Slim.
The call was accompanied by a series oi
resolutions ' adopted by the congregation,
endorsing the Heidelberg Catechism as the
true doctrine of the Bible, and eschewing
all unnecessary forms of ceremonial wor
ship. Mr. Cort declined the call, on the
ground that the Mission Church then build
ing at Altoona would suffer if he left it at
that time.
Rev. S. Wagner, of Blue Bell, /Montgom
ery county, was next asked to preach a trial
sermon, but he declined the invitation on
the ground that he had no reason or incli
nation to leave his present charge.
A similar Invitation Was sent to Rev. W.
E. Krebs, of Waynesboro, which was de
clined for similar reasons.
Rev. Henry Mosser, of Perry county,
after having preached a trial sermon, was,
on July 25th, 1864, elected Pastor, receiving
13 votes to 7 east against him. A salary
of $7OO per annum was promised him
n ease that amount could 'be raised
The call was accepted, and. Mr. Messer
entered upon his duties in September. In
November lie asked for an increase of
salary, but the church flnances not war
ranting the advance,. $lOO additional was
collected by Embscription. In September,
1865, Mr. 'blesser informed the Consistory
that he had received a call from Paradise,
Northumberland county, which he would
, accet, unless the church here uld con-
veni p ently raise his salary to sl co ,ooo. The
salary wasraised, and bir.Mosser continued
topreach until March, 1867, when he re
moved to Northumberland county, where,
we believe, he yet preaches. He was well
liked while in Lancaster for his many
social virtues as well as for his preaching.
Ho was a graduate of Franklin and Mar- I
shall College.
For several months the Church was with
out a Pastor, quite a number of calls hav
ing been tendered and declined, among
others, Rev. Messrs. Rupley, Wolf, Riley,
Wagner and Weiser, may be mentioned.
Rev. Edwin H. Nevin, the present Pas-
tor, preached his first sermon to the con- i
gregation on the 28th of July, 1867, and
arrangements were made that he should
continue to preach as a supply. On the
30th of December, he was unanimously
elected Pastor, and. a salary of $l3OO offer
ed, which waskfterwards ad.vanced to 61750,
with the use of the parsonage. The call.
was accepted, and he has preached for the
congregation from that time to the present.
Mr. Nevin was born in Shippensburg,
Pa., 1814 ; graduated at Jefferson College,
Pa.; studied Theology at Princeton, N. J.,
and was licensed by the First Presbytery
of Philadelphia, In 1836; he was for five
years President of Franklin College,
Athens, Ohio ; and besides some other pas
toral charges, preached for some time in
the West Arch street Presbyterian Church,
Philadelphia; he is the author of several
interesting works, and a poet of more than
ordinary ability, quite a number of his
hymns being published in Mr. Cleveland's
Lyra Sacra Americana: as a pulpit orator,
Mr. Nevin's style is too well known to our
readers to require comment here ; his large
congregations and rapidly increasing
Church membership, being the best evi
denees of his popularity.
The Safe Harbor Gold II I:inform—Fa r tiler
. .
Interesting Particulars
•
A reliable correspondent furnishes us
with the following interesting particulars
respecting the Safe Harbor Gold Hunters.
He says, "An account of a number of per
sons engaged in digging at Safe Earbor,
this county, for buried treasures was pub- I
lished in the Daily Intelligencer of the Ist
inst., which concluded with the remark
that 'line would hardly expect to find in
Lancaster county persons so grossly ignor
ant as to be thus Imposed upon by the most
arrant impostors." Whether one would
expect it or not, it is nevertheless true that
not a few are so engaged, and some without
being duped by impostors. During the
last ten or twelve years (the length of time
ive have been in this place) we have known
persons to be engaged in this foolish and
ansuccessful hunt for hidden treasures. It
,s therMore no now or rare thing at Safe
limber ;mil parts of Conestoga and Manor
iownships. The parties at Safe Harbor are
not the only ones engaged at present in
this foolish business, though that place has
been a kind of money-hunters' headquar.
tors for many years. There have been,
for a number of years, different parties
• in this neighborhood engaged in this foolish
search for money, and as we know sonic of
their exploits and adventures, wo will
relate a few for the benefit of your readers.
The parties at Safe Harbor, who, as you
say, are almost nightly engaged in a fruit
less search for buried gold," had a joke
played off on them not long since. As
they were busily engaged in one
of their midnight searches, digging
away in the rocky hill, as only men in
search of gold can dig, and large drops of
perspiration were rolling down over their
ihees, they saw by the glimmering light
of their lanterns at a short distance, a tall
Indian having a musket with a bayonet on
it. The barrel of the musket and the bay
onet reflected the light which fell upon
them from the gold seekers' lantern.
When first seen the Indian was leaning
upon the end of the musket, the butt of
which was on the ground, and lie was
closely observing the operations of the
money-hunters. After a few moments he
changed his position, coming a little near
er; they all saw him, but they kept on dig
ging, if possible more vigorously tinui be
fore, with the perspiration mowing more
freely. lie changed his position several
times, coining so near that they could have
touched him with their hands, his eyes fix
ed all the time upon their operations. Yet
no one spoke, as that would have spoiled
all. Nu word can pass, no communication
take place between the parties engaged in
the search, otherwise the charm will be
broken, and the treasure removed by the
spirit having it in ebarge. All buried trea
sure is watched over by spirits who have
power to 1111110Ve it wheneYer those en
gaged in its search disobey Certain condi
tions which must be adhered to to get pos
session of it—such at least is• the belief of
money-hunters. Suddenly the Indian his
appeared, and then they, knowing that
they had disobeyed same one of the con
ditions which must be complied with to
obtain the money buried there, and that it
111,1
further search. A few days alter it leaked
out that the Spirit Indian was a certain res
ident of Safe Harbor, who, knowing of the '
contemplated hunt on that night, had
dressed himself in Indian costume and
personated the Indian Spirit. .
Another person engaged in money hunt
ing claims to have found several thous
and dollars which, he says, had been
buried. But as lie would like to be con
-idered wealthy, and :L9 he has no con
federates and therefore no one to sub
stantiate his assertions, we must be per
mitted to doubt his statement. ft is
nowever true that during the past summer
ae went one night to a farmer's house in
the neighborhood, and aroused the farmer,
,tiowe , A him route glittering coin :gold),
and told him that he had found it a here it
sad beml buried, and that he knew of more
that he could get with the assistance of a
young trod unmarried female; he then re
;misted the farmer to allow his daughter
to accompany him, proposing that he would
rot only share with her but that he would
also teach her the 11101.10 of procedure, and
caving she could afterwards hunt herself.
the farmer's cupidity was so aroused by
.he sight of the glittering gold, and by the
,wry of the large additional sum that could
:Je obtained that ho very readily gave his
.:onsent tor his daughter to accompany
' the fortunate money-hunter. The daughter,
.11)WOver,upon being informed by the father

lle tried to persuade her ; Ire coaxed and
.inally threatened, but all would not avail.
l'he mother sided with the daughter, and
Ire affair destroyed for a while the peace of
he family.
Another party who was for many rears
upon by the money-hunters of this
iection as a sort of leader, and with whom
ve were intimately acquainted, while he
resided at Safe harbor, told us that there
tray a German man residing in Columbia,
who mold by looking into a bottle (whether
a peculiar bottle or but an ordinary one we
were n o t informed) see concealed treasure.
Fins man he always consulted before hunt
ing for supposed hidden money, who, after
consulting his bottle, would inform him
whether any money was concealed there
or not, and if so, would minutely describe
the exact spot where such money was
buried. Tint our informant had implicit
confidence in this mysterious bottle, we
have not the least doubt. Ile oars that all
that was necessary in consulting this bottle
was to tell the man to describe the place lie
had in his mind, and that he always found
everything as described, but that the spirits
would still remove the money before he
could get it. It is said that persons pos
sessing this supernatural sight are ex
emely scaree; that only those born at a
certain hour of a particular day have it.—
The modus operandi in hunting for money
is
principally as follows: After having
found out the precise spot where the money
is supposed to be buried, the arrangements
must all be made previously to going to
the place, as after operations are commenced
no word dare be spoken, and no communi
cation take place, but each must silently
perform his allotted part. If these rules are
oroken, the spirits have power to remove
the money, and they invariably do so.—
These rules apply to all concealed money,
Intl pu'm'a liar conditions are attached to some
lots. It is supposed that nearly all persons
who buried money determined upon a cer
tain mode of getting it again, or attached
certain eomlitfons which must be complied
with to get it.
For instance a person who buried seine
money may have required that only a per
son of a certain name, or one born on a
particular day, out get it, or that a peculiar
method must lie observed in digging for it,
or that it can only lie obtained on a certain
day, etc. Money-hunters say that this is
what makes it so difficult to get buried
money. After arriving on the spot where
the money is supposed to be buried, a largo
circle is marked oaf around it, and digging
is silently commenced. The spirits can
not get inside of this magic circle, but out
side of it they have power to do almost any
thing. They adopt various methods to
cause those who are digging to break some
of the conditions. Sometimes the spirit
will appear in the form of an Indian, some
times as a large black dog, and ag ain as the
veritable Evil One himseffi with horns on
his head and a long tail with a spear or dart
at the end. Sometimes when the money is
nearly reached and in danger of being
reached, legions of spirits appear, making
all Minis of noises. Our informant told us
that sometimes the earth itself is convulsed,
and that it seemed as if all the demons of
the infernal regions were let loose and had
gathered around, but that as soon as one of
the conditions way broken, thereby giving
the spirits power to remove the money, all
would instantly be quiet, and not a spirit
could be seen or heard.
lie also informed us that sometimes he
was so near the money that he had already
struck on the vessel containing it, but that
It was suddenly removed, leaving a hol
low empty space where it had been. This
person we knew to go to other counties on
money-hunting projects, but acknowledges
that he never found much, but says he got
some. We know of still other parties en
gaged in this business, some of whose ex
ploits are still more ridiculous, and some
of them of a nature unfit for publication.
That such ignorance and superstition still
prevails in Lancaster county is astonishing,
when we take into consideration the oppor
[unities afforded for enlightenment."
HORSE STOLEN.—On Sunday morning
last, a horse, saddle, and bridle, was taken
from the stable of Mr. Levi Rhodes, of
Bird-in-Hand, by John Elvin° late of this
city. At the same time an overcoat was
stolen, and the till of Mr. Rhodes was rob
)ed of a small amount of money. The horse
VMS afterwards recovered in the stable of
the Franklin house, this city. The thief Is
yet at large.

We havealso examined theaecount of Chris

The present indebtedness of the County is
one hundred and fifty-seven thousaml, five
hundred and twenty live dollars and thirty'
Live cents, (1157,39533).
The Audittos met In the Orphans' Court
Room on Monday, the third day of Janu
ary, 1070, and entered upon their duties.—
They are pleased to slate that the late
County Treasurer, William Thom., charg.o
himself in 1000 with 517501, and In 10110 with
05101_, Intel est on money of the County loaned
out by him during his official tern, thus
adding to the Treasury receipts 11,110 06, and
showing all example that would have been as
creditable for his predecessors to have initia
ted, as It will be for his successors to imitate.
The tax-payers of the County will respect and
appreciate him accordingly, a y one among
many. His conduct conclusively proves that
a int dire' and upright orneer can as readily
make money for tile County 011 t of the County
money as he can for himself, a theory which
hereto lire has been practically denied.
They cannot resist the couclusion that ',the
County Prison is managed in an expensive
manner for the sole benefit of the Keeper,
when with proper care itud economy, thou
sands of dollies !night be happily saved. The
charges for maintenance of convicts, prisoners
on trial and vagrants are entirely too high, It
Is not expected, nor is it right. that the Prison
should yield enormous profits loony one. The
officers should be duly compensated, but nut
enriched by a few years service at the cost of
the people. Instead of it being a source of
great expenditure, it should be one of income
II compatible Win] the !Willi Of the/ WM/aI:S.
Nor should the emoluments be such as to ex
cite the cupidity of unscrutielous men and
make every year's election it disgusting berate
ble for Its control. Faithful and competent
men can as reit. ily be found as those of an
other clans, and if the appointment of the
Inspectors was given to our Court, the Prison
would no longer present itself ns it mere tio
iltical machine to be managed for private
thrill. By our Prison rules and regulations it
is do ected IMO each convict. shall lie fed as
follows: One pound of rye or wheat bread
daily; one pint of coffee in the morning: hair
a pound of beef made into soup, and roue polo
toes at noon; mush in the evening, anti half a
muion or molasses per month, for which the
Keeper receives 05, and 30 cents per head
daily, according to tile whole number of pris
oners at any tale time. Ally housekeeper can
!flake the calculation and find that 15 emits a
head, or less, offers sufficient cOmpensation.
Not ten years ago the ratlOtlS cost but 10 cis.
and those who know, do assert, that the Keep
er made several thousand dcalats a year, and
there are those who now will undertake to
furnish such rations at 15 or 10 cents. AL pres
ent rates, the Keeper must accumulate money
on Ills own accoutit very rapidly, not less than

The Auditors suggested, last year, asa means
of economy. and ore best preven live of !ay.,
itism, that the printing, hi idge Wilding, and
ot lier important work should be given to the
lowest bidder on public notice us is common
with tile hest managed corporations, but that
suggestion was dist egartied by our Coultnis
siot.ers who prefer to travel lu the old ruts.—
The printing, book and Job trot It arc given
out without tiny evidence of bids hav mg been
invited, consequently we sow can realize no
saving or reduction of price. tio with the
p a inting "f the Court Home, which was let
out at $275 a day—the County to erect a scab
fold. Some of tile best trio k inert of responsi
bility have assured tile Auditors that If notice
bad been given, they would gladly have un
dertaken it at 52 50 per day without. a scaffold
by which there would have been a saving of
Iron, 010110 to s,sco. This is deemed undeu table,
from the Mgt that the mechanic who obtained
the contract, had previously worked at the
Poor House for 112.1:5 a day and others had
worked there fur $2 u day, and less, The work
replacing and repairing the bridges at liun
seeker's, Eden and Puintgown waseontracted
fur privately, without notice, at 35 a day for the
contractor and $3 a day for Ills hands, while
others as competent and responsible have
stated they could and would have undertaken
It fur less, This Is a very diderent policy from
I hot pursued at the Poor House, where a bridge
across the Conestoga, 2511 feet Mug, 13 feet wide
and feet high was built at a cost. 0f12,457.50
of which $1,370 were expended for stone and
masonry. It Is a model as to cost and con
struction, strength and durability:in contrast
with some of the bridges built at the County's
expense, but It wan done under the Inspection
of the Directors and their officers, who adver
tised for proposals, and consulted the Interests
of the tax-payers, by contracting with the
lowest and best bidders. It Is titerefure respect.
fully recommended, that In future, for all re
patring us building of bridges and other
important work, proposals be Invited, and
contracts made according to the suggestions
In the Auditors' report of last 3 ear.
They deem It els° Important. that when pro
pOsals for work on specifications are invited,
those specifications should be recorded in a
book specially appropriated for that purpose,
before the bids shall be opened or the contract
made, and this should be provided for by Act
of Assembly.
The cost of tile Improvidence In repairing
and building, dire., might readily be ascertained
and reduced to figures, but it would be of nu
avail. The law attaches no responsibility to
an Agent or Officer of the county, honesdy ex.
ereltsmg discretionary powers In making con
tracts, and although they may be convinced
of an extravagant expenditure of the public
funds, the Auditors have no power to charge

gest/tag the necessity of reformby legislative
enactment. /t isofaate occurrence, that an ,
effort was made to make them personally Bs- 1
hie for an Over-allowance •In tha erection of '
Blakley's Bridge, but the Court dismissed the
role, when the Commissioners lather happy
control of the COttnty funds ge aeronsly re- I
warded their three Council with $lOO each, and
those familiar with that intellectual net-work
of the law, have declared that such was then
right to do. •
The Auditors feini their examinations into
the affairs of the Count as presented to them,
are fully of the belief, that there is more time
than ibs abso lutelyy the Commissioners . ln Ti /ti s ei rs r ;
will show, that from Iwo to three or four days
a week are charged by each Commissioner.
Or hen tent ing ofuiless transacted was limited
to the grant of one, two or three Orders,
and occasionally when a foil board has assem
bled, the Clerk has made thesignificant entry, .
"there being no business, adjonrried." The •
most important time for office duties may be
the first week of a regular term of Court, or .
while they are holding appeals; but this fre
quent visiting the office and returning home
two or three times a week is certainly not
necessary. One or two days attendance in a
week would for the most part be ample. If
they would publicly announce, and make it
generally known, that they will attend their
office on the Monday and Tuesday of each week
and no other, as was the custom in former
times, the people would regulate themselves
accoraingly. The pay and mileage of the pres
ent Board for a single day is $15.40, and does
not well bear lepeatlog, unless the public bus
iness actually requires it. Tree office is not a
post to be used merely for daily pay and
mileage, and a pleasant ride to and from
Lancaster, at a cost of $3 a day and ten cents
mile.
The An t ;lkliwAielleve, that the several ac
counts w they aro re gained to settle and
adjust should be prepared and made up to the
31st of Decembr, incluslver of each year, and
submitted to the CMiremb.louers and other
Boards Mr examination, then to be filed In the
Prothonotary's Office, advertised as open for
lospectlon to all tax payers for thirty days,
, after which to be referred to the Auditir
final settlement, that all interested may have
an opportunity of examining andfiling ex
ceptions thereto if necessary, as heirs and
creditors may do to an administration accounL
At present, no one sees or knows anything
about either account, until they are finally
acted on by the Auditors and published
when it is too late for exception of any kinds
In our report of last year, we, charged the
then County Comm Isisioners with S2:A which
they had illegally appropriated to two are
companies, one in Columbia and one in Mari •
elm. The report was confirmed by the Court,
and appealed from. Nothing further has been
done, and as we do not know who beside the
Commissioners have the power to prosecute
toe claim, we respectfully refer It to the atten
tion of the Court.
The Commissioners claim, under the net of
NH, that they are entitled to mileage if at the
close of each day they go to their respective
homes and return again next day to the Com
missioners' othce, in the performance of their
official duties. The Auditors are of opinion
teat the law contemplates and emaraces only
one charge of mileage where the public duties
require the attendance of the Commissioners
for consecutive days; and under ibis view, to
have this question legally and finally deter
minedlin Justice to the Commissioners on one
side and the County on the other, 11111.1 for the
guidance of future Boards of Auditors, they
charge as overpaid to—
Samuel tilokom,one hundred and fifteen dol
lars and sixty cents.
John :Strohm, ninety-six dollars.
J. C. Kready, seventy-one dollars.
In the account of C. If. Nissley, the charge is
for constructive mileage', or, mileage nut actu
ally travelled—the Commissioner remaining
In the city of Lancaster during the meeting of
the Board, under an alleged custom claims
that he Is entitled to this mileage as if actual ly
travelled. This the Auditors think inadrniss
able, and charge him with one hundred and
seventy-threb dollars :is overpaid.
In witness whereof we have hereunto set our
hands this list day of January, ih7U.

will compare favorably for original fertility of
soil with any county In Virginia, is perhaps
the most rolling of any county east of the Blue
