Local InteUigme. 'Sketch erthe Fi orrsLont Methodist PpiseOpal Church easter, P. Methodist Ministers visited Lancaster county as Missionaries as early as 1781. Lancaster Circuit was formed in 1782, and Bei , . Wm. Partridge appointed minister. About 1805 or 1806 Rev. Jacob Gruber oc casionally preached, though it was not until 1807 that regular services were conducted in Lancaster. The first meetings wore hold at the residence of Philip Benedict, in Duke street, between Orange and Chest nut, the Rev. Henry Boehm conducting the religious services. Mr. Boehm was born in 1776. Ho was a son of Rev. Martin Boehm, formerly a Mennonite Bishop, a position from which he was deposed, be cause he "mixed with people of a strange tongue," and preached after the manner of the "New Lights," then settled in the Shen andoah Valley, Va. 'His son Henry seemed to have much of the fire of his father, and preached with great effect to the Methodists of Lancaster county. He was Presiding Elder of the conference from 1813 to 1816 in clusive. His name appears on the church records as circuit preacher as late as 1821. Ho is still living and in good health, aged 96 years. The itinerant system practised in the Methodist Church, whereby the stations of their ministers have been changed every two years, renders a biographical notice of each, in a brief sketch like this, impractica ble. We will content ourselves therefore in very briefly noticing a few of the more important events of the Church history, and at the end of this sketch subjoining a list of the ministers who have officiated in the Lancaster Church • - The earliest record-of the church com menced in 1809 with Revs. James Smith and Thomas Birch as the circuit preachers. During that year a lot of ground was pur chased by Philip Benedict for the use of the Society at the corner of Duke and Walnut streets. Tho lot extended a little South of the present Church and West to the alley between Duko and Queen streets. It is said that there were but three Methodist families in town at the time, viz:—Philip Benedict's, John Mackinson's and Thomas Bright's, and so great was the prejudice ex isting against the sect that it was deemed advisable to keep socrot,at the time, the ob. joct for which the lot of ground was pur chased. However, a small brick meeting house was erected on the Walnut street front the same year, on the site now occu pied by the residences of Messrs. E. M. Kline and T. J. Wentz. The lot in rear of the Church was enclosed as a burying ground and the Duko street front was sold. The congregation gradually increased in numbers, and worshipped in the little Church until 1840. During the year 1839, the subject of building a new church had been much agitated. In March, 1810, an act incorporating the Church as " The First Methodist Episcopal Church of Lancaster," was passed by the State Legislature, and in April the lot of ground on which the present church building is erected Vas re purchased from Peter Mullholland. On the tith of July, 1840, the Board of Trustees " Resolved, That although our prospects be gloomy as to the erection of a new Church, yet in the name of the Lord we now decide upon opening the ground by digging for the basement, and having the stone hauled." . . At a subsequent meeting held by the male members of the Congregation, it was resolved, by a email majority, to build the church on a lot owned by them on East King street. This move caus ed great dissatisfaction; another meeting 'was called ; the formoraetion reconsidered, and after another vote had been taken on the subject in which the " male members" wore .equally divided, the sisters present came to the rescue and voted to sell the lot on East King street and build the Church on Duko street ; and although it was ques tioned "whether the discipline of our Church would recognize the legality of the votes of the ladies," female suffrage tri umphed, and tho present site was selected. Henry Flick was secured as the I 'amen ter, 8. Benedict it Co., as plasterers, and Wine noW d. Marion as brick layers. Ground was broken on the 23d of April, 1841, and the work pushed forward as vig orously as the means of the congregation would allow. By October the new build ing was under roof, and Rev. Dallas 1). Lore, the pastor, assisted by a committee of members, labored to raise means to com lete it, by collections, subscriptions, and loans. In the meantime the trustees endeavored to sell the old meeting house to the Bap tists, but not being able to do so, resolved to have it taken down at once. About the same time they passed a resolution " that the cow now pasturing in the cemetery be removed, and all animals hereafter be ex cluded." About the same time the ceme tery was, under direction of the trustees, divided into four equal sections by walks of six feet wide, having in the centre a plat for the interment of such of the clergy as might die while in charge of the church. Walks four feet Wide were to sub-divide the sections into beds, and nominal lines to reduce the beds to single lots nine feet long by seven feet eight niches wide. Other improvements made the cemetery the handsomest then in the city. It was known as the "Wesleyan Cemetery." In the spring of 1842 Rev. Samuel Hig gins, M. D., became pastor, and in the following August the church was dedicated with imposing ceremonies, Bishop Durbin, assisted by a groat number of clergymen, officiating. In August, 1812, it was resolved to raise money by tinting all the pews except "the second pew on the right of the pulpit which was voted to Father Benedict, as a token of respect." Mr. Benedict was the oldest member of the church, and had been a trustee for more than thirty years. Tho creditors were presenting their bills much faster than they could be met, and on the 16th of December, 1842, it was "unanimously resolved that $4,000 of the Church debt be disposed of in the form of stock, at $lO per share." Tho measure seems to have done but little good, and the Church debt was stated In June, 1843, at nearly $7,000. The church at that time was under the charge of Rev. Robert Gerry, who was succeeded in 1845, by Rey. Win. Wiggins. During his Pastorate a roving commiaslon was given to Rev. Newton Heston to collect lands for the church. His mission proved unsuccessful, as he colleot ed but little more than $3OO in a whole year ; so that in 18-17, when Mr. Uris bee:tins) Pastor, the church was in debt nearly $9,000. By his zealous labors he reduced the debt to about $3,000, besides purchasing a lot on German street near South Queen, for the erection of a Sunday School House. In 1849, during Mr. M'Carter's ministry, the School House on German street was built at a cost of about $l,OOO, and dedicated by Rev. Dr. Peels. It was soon found to be too small and was sold to the Mennon ites, who yet occupy it. In 1851, during the ministry of Mr. Coombe, the bodies interred ill the Wesley an Cemetery were removed to the Lancas ter Cemetery, under the superintendence of Mr. J. Black, and the Walnut street lot retained for the erection of a parsonage, which was built in 1853. . - A new charter of incorporkon was pass ed by the Legislature in 1851, and in the following year gas was introduced into the Church, hanging oil lamps having been previously used. In 1831, during Mr. Bishops pastorate the Church was repaired and the free pew system again adopted after a ten years trial of the renting system. During the same year the East Mission Sunday School was opened in the East Orange street public school house with Mr. William Murray as muperin Conde!' t,and J. M. Miller, Secretary, a position he yet holds. This school has now about 110 pupils, and recently a lot of ground on East king street has been pur chased on which it is proposed to erect a Mission Chapel for the use of the school. In March,lB.s4, under the pastorate of Or. Bartino, the Philadelphia Conference com posed of between two and three hundred ministers, convened in Duke street Church. In 1864, under the ministry of Mr. Car roll, the last of the Church debt was paid; and in 1867, under Mr. Thompson's minis try, the Western Mission Chapel in Char lotte street was purchased from the Afri cans, who built it, but were too poor to keep it, and there is now there n Sunday School of about sixty white children, with Mr. Gilgore as Superintendent.

Turner, present,pastor, installed 1869. During Mr. Thompson's ministry, the pastoral term was extended by the Gen eral Conference to three years. His sun cessor, Mr. Hurn, who entered upon his Pastorate in April, 1868, died on the 4th of July following, from disease contracted while making arrangements for the great National Camp Meeting, held in the sum mer of that year at Manheim. He was the only Methodist minister who ever died while in charge of the Lancaster Church.— After Mr. Harn's death, Rev. Wm. E. Grey, of the Baltimore Conference, was selected as his successor , and preached until the following April (18139), when the present pastor entered upon his duties.. Tho chureh numbers at present about 325 communicant members. Including the galleries the church will seat 800 persons,,and under all of the' pastors there hate generally been large congregations. MAIM° ToVrNswir.--Martic township is bounded on the northweSt• by , the Pequsai creek., which separates it front 'Conestegli and Peques townships; on :Mil 'southesiS i by Muddy creek which seParatesit , ftknt Drumore township; on the 'east by Provi— dence township, which was fortnerlY !AI part of it, and on the west hype . ..5t:153446;f henna river. A small corner in the'ek treme northern part, embraced by .slarge bend in the Pecnea creek,- belongs to the rich limestone section, and it is equally far': tile with the rest of that section. The "1"6, - mairtder of the township is bill*, and : Ater soil poor, and, when compared with the , limestone section north of it,'or• with the district south of it, unproductive; alai* • proportion of this part of the township is yet covered with forest& In the north western part, near the Colemanvillo and Martic Forges, there is much sprout land, (chestnut), from which the timber has once j been cut to burn charcoal for the' , use of these forges, but which has been allowed to grow up again. Here we do not meet with the fine farms, and large barns to be met with in other parts of the county: Not only is the land poor, but the farming is not near so thorough as in the limestone re gion ; the little barns, or more properly stables, the light crops in the fields, and the bleak looking commons, which aro yet uncultivated, would almost cause the stranger to doubt that this is a part of Lan caster County, the "Carden of Pennsyl vania." But this is no fault of the inhabitants, for they are just as industrious, as energetic, and as enterprising, as in other parts of the county ; but it is owing to the poor quality of land, and the un-remunerative crops it produces. The inhabitants arit"English," with the exception of those occupying the small corner of limestone landinthenorth who are "Dutch." Wo observathat hero, as elsewhere throughout Eastern Pennsyl vania, the rich, fertile, limestone land was first settled by the Dutch, and is still in their possession, while the English in gen oral occupy the less fertile and hilly sec tions. The inhabitants are principally Methodists and Presbyterians, the former having two churches, and the latter one, in this township. The Tucquan, which is the largest stream within the township, rises near the Providence township line, and flows westwardly into the Susquehanna, dividing the township into two nearly equal divisions. Along this stream, es pecially near Its mouth as well as near the mouth of the Pequea, and at other points along the Susquehanna, it is very hilly and broken, affording some fine scenery. The villages aro Marticville, ltawlinsv ill e, Mount Nebo, and Martic Forge. Marticville is in the extreme northern corner of Martic township, and near the southern limit of the limestone region. It contains two stores, a tavern, a blacksmith shop, a wagonmaker shop. a shoemaker shop, a post office, a physician, two public schools (which are graded), and a Hall, in which a Council of American Mcichanics hold their meetings, and a congregation of Methodists have preaching regularly. Itawlinsville is situated near the Provi dence township line. in it the elections aro held, and business, relating to the af fairs of the township, is transacted. It contains a Store, a Tavern, a Postoilice, number of mechanical establishments, and an Odd Fellows' Hall. • . . Mount Nebo is situated among the hills, and the houses aro very much scattered; it contains a Store, a Postoffice, a Metho dist Church, two Schools, (which are gra ded,) a Tannery, and an Aso Manufactory, which has the reputation of turning out the best axes mado in the county. It also contains tho parsonage of the Mount Nobo Circuit, of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Martic Forge is situated on tile Perinea Creek, about two miles from its mouth. All the houses belong to the forge proper ty, and all the business is that afford.' by the forgo. r Et/I: OA TOWNS ui P.—reqrlea township, formerly the east end of Conestoga, is next to Lancaster township, the smallest town ship in Lancaster county. It is situated between the Conestoga Creek on the North and the Pequea Creek on the South and be tween Conestoga township on the West and West Lampoter on the East. The sur face of the land is slightly undulating with the exception of a small portion near Wil low street, which is nearly level. Nearly the entire township is first quality lintestre land, and among the most productive ill he county. The system of farming pursued is the same as that of the other German parts of the county. The farms aro in general what aro called large in this county, and will average more acres to each Chan in many other townships in the limestone re gion. The farm buildings are nearly all such as would reflect credit upon any com munity, especially the barns of which there arc many that aro inure than ordinarily large and tine event in Lancaster county.— Nearly all the land is under cultivation, and timber is getting exceedingly scarce; ninny of the farriers own wood-lots south of the Pequot Creek in Providence and Martic townships, from which they obtain their supply of tire-wood and fencing material. Nearly all the timber that remains in this township is heavy oak—mostly white-oak —and is too valuable for fire-wood, but notwithstanding that the forests have been nearly all removed and that timber is becoming so scarce farmers still believe in burning :wood in preference to coal ; and they will burn wood as long as they call get wood-land within a reasonable distance front their farms, ITS in Providence and Martic townships. But even in those townships the forests are rapidly disappearing, and if the present strong drain upon them from the sur rounding townships which aro almost dest titute of timber, is kept up, it will soon be scarce there. Where will the rich farming districts, like Pequea township, then go for tire-wood and fencing material 7 The farmers would better be wise in this re spect, and be as saving as possible with all kinds of timber ; they should turn their attention now to burning coal which is really more economical than burning wood at present prices, and they will eventually have to do it. Destroying all the forests is the most injurious practice pursued by our farmers, and the effects of it upon the crops of fruit and grain,will be felt severely when the country in general is as destitute of forests and trees as Pequea township and some other sections of Lancaster county. Forests have a great influence upon eh mate; they aid in producing moisture. As a proof of this lot us call the attention of our farmers to Egypt, where at the be ginning of the present century, and pre vious, very little rain fell, but since that time, many millions of trees have been planted there by order of the Pasha, in in consequence of which quite an amount of min falls there now. It is stated that there are ' , now from thirty to forty rainy days in the year, in the vicinity of Cairo and Alexandria, in North ern Egypt, and that in winter it often rains for five or sixtt.days in succession. Also countries formerly covered with for ests, but from which they have been re moved suffer now from droughth, while before they had a moist climate. Countries ill which the forests have been extirpated, and that had before a mild and genial cli mate, now have much hotter summers and much colder winters. Well-wooded coun tries do not have as great extremes of heat and cold as those not so well wooded, and as the complete removal of the forests of a country diminish the amount of moisture, it consequently impairs its fertility. Third this will be experienced in this part of the United States is certain, if forests are not protected, and the planting of trees encour , aged by legislative action. We notice al ready some effects upon the crops, especial ly upon fruit, in this part - of Pennsylvania from the extirpation of its forests. It is stated by good authority that from one fourth to one-third of the land in a country should be covered with forests, and if such were the case more grain, etc., could be raised upon the remaining two-thirds or three-fourths than if the whole were under , cultivation, and destitute of trees. On account of some sections of the Middle Suites being comparatively well wooded, ' yet wo do not experience the bad effects li that wo would if all that part east of the Alleghenies were as destitute of forests as Lanclister county. Pequea is one of the lower tier, or border " Dutch " townships, and south of it the people are principally "English." Al though the inhabitants of Pequea township are almost universally Dutch, they can, nearly all speak English almost as fluent ly as Dutch. The Mennonites and Dun kards are much more numerous than all other religious denominations together and com prise fully nine-tenths of all professing Christians. Agriculture is the chief pur suit, nearly all its inhabitants being en gaged in it. There is an iron ore mine is the southeastern part—south of Willow Street—and -a silver mine in the extreme southeastern corner, - very close to the Con estoga township lino, and within a half mile of Conestoga Centre. This silver mine, if we mistake not, was known and worked as early as previous :to the Revolutionary War. During the last eight years it has not been worked, but previous to that it was worked regularly, and silver in paying quantities was obtained. No very large quantities of silver were obtained at any one time, but it yielded enough to pay for the labor and for a fair profit besides. The silver, which is mixed with other minerals, the principal of which is lead, is found in veins which are imbedded in the solid limestone rock. Several pretty large veins were discovered, and they were fol lowed a considerable distance under ground. Previous to the breaking out of the late war, a number of limekilns were erected, and stones were quarried from the body of the hill without regard to following the veins. It was expected that the silver ob tained would enable the owners to selllime at a lower rate than it could be burned any where else, and it was sold at 36.50 per hundred bushels. Upon the breaking out of the Rebellion the project was abandoned and the mines and kilns have since been There are in Pequea township 4 Churches —2 Mennonite, 1 New Mennonite, and 1 Methodist—and 6 Public School Houses. The villages are New Danville and Lines town which are entirely in the township, and Willow Street which is partly so. New Danville, on the road leading from Lancas ter to Conestoga Centre and equallY dis tant from either place, is a pleasant little village with a line locution; it contains a Store, a Post Office, two Taverns, a Black smith Shop; a Wagonmaker Shop, a Weav ing Estatilisimiont, a School, House, two Ch urches - a Mennonite and a New Men quite—and about 25 private houses. . • Linestown is,a small village without any business iiiithe,sou.thern, part of the town ship,illow Street is partly in Poguea and partly in West Lampeter township, and is EzikIiWASTER/WH,E,K , DaTI:INTELLIG=O._ER,vWEI)NrEeD_AI - V;, MiAtht4ZW 9„, a *Mike of dome` Importance.

Henry flouseal vs. John Musser, Ex or, of Geo. IV. Terry, dee'd. On trial. The jury in the MSC of H. do F. Fletcher vs. Thos. McCullough, tried during last week's session, found in favor of the plain tiff, Mr. Fletcher, in the sum of $113.25. The suit was brought by Mr. F. to recover the value of a note for $lOO ; the defendant, Mr. McC.. set off a claim of $3OO, alleged to have been promised him by plaintiffs as damages for injury to his canal boat at Marietta during the freshet of the spring of '6B, said boat having been left in the care of plaintiffs in the previous fall at the close of navigation. Defendants claimed that the canal boat was injured by plaintiffs' negli gence, while in their care, and that their promise to plaintiffs was merely an oral one. Henry Ilouseal vs. John Musser, Exec utor of George W. Terry, deceased. This was an action of covenant on a warranty of title ; the plaintiff purchased a tract of sixteen acres of land for 32,200, which tract formerly belonged to George W. 'ferry, and was sold by him to George Brenne man, and a warranty deed given therefor; the said Terry at the time of the sale of the land representing himself as a single man, but at the same time having in Philadel phia a wife and two children. The said Brenneman afterwards became insolvent, and was sold out by the Sheriff and the said land was purchased by the plain tiff; Houseal at the Sheriff's sale; ho having a judgment for $llOO against the property. Subsequently the wife of Terry came from Philadelphia and by instituting a suit recovered her dower, to wit: 6 acres of the said tract of land. The above suit was therefore brought against the execu tor of Geo. W. Tarry, deed., to recover damages for the breach of the deed of war ranty given by said Terry. The defence alleged that the widow of Mr. Terry was never properly put in possession of her dower, and could not, under all the cir cumstances incident to the ease, claim dower; and that plaintiff never being out of the possession of the land, the plaintiff never was damnified by the claim of dower by Mrs. Terry. Another point in the de fence was that at the time of the purchase at Sheriff's sale, notice was given to Ilou seal and all others that Mrs. Terry had a claim of dower against said properly-, and that the plaintiff, Ifouseal, bought at his peril under the rule of careat empeor. Tho jury rendered their verdict in favor of the plaintiff in the sum of 3888.75. Jacob Reem vs. Philip Oldireiler. This action was brought to recover 11S bushels of white wheat and 1571 bushels of red wheat left, during the month of March or April, 1869, in store in the mill then in possesion of defendant Mr. Oldweiler. The defend- ant plead nut guilty •, 7that the wheat was duly purchased by 14. John B. (Ash the owner of the mill in possession of defend ant. The jury rendered a verdict in favor of plaintiff in the sum of '.3.154.70. Mum W. Dellinger, et al. vs. John Del linger, et al. On trial. RIVER PILOT'S ANSOCIATION.—Tho Pi lots of .Marietta have formed themselves into an Association to be called the "Rock Dodgers Association of Marietta," the principle object of which is to establish a uniform price for running rafts; the fol lowing rOolutions were adopted at their last meeli'ng: . . Ist. That no member of this Association will run a raft for less than ten dollars per thousand feet, for those measuring 5000 feet and upwards, and all below 5000 feet $5O, with exceptions hereinafter mentioned. That we take no member into this Association who is not a competent Pilot, and a sober industrious man. 3d. That we invite the Pilots of Colum bia and Washington to form similar Asso ciations and act in conjuction with us. 4th. That we have been unmindful and neglectful of our best interests; that we have let ourselves be hoodwinked and brought down to such prices as suited our employers and have not been paid for our skill as Pilots. sth That this Association is not intend ed to injure any class of persons nor to ex tort upon the timber men, but to do justice to all parties and elevate those worthy of the profession, and to expel those un worthy. 6th. That no Pilot is expected to discern mode himself for another more than it is expected of him to use his influence for members of this Association in preference to those unconnected with it. 7th. That we hold meetings hereafter for the admission of other members that wish to join.the Association, who must boproposed by one or more members and recommend ed by two-thirds of the Association before he ran become a member. sth. The exceptions heretofore mentioned are eusea where rafts are broken or large bad oak rafts, when a special agreement ran bu made. A NEW RAILROAD TIII101:0II LANCAS TER COUNTT.—The Committee on Rail ways and Canals of the United States House of Representatives, has agreed to report favorably on the bill to authorize the build ing of a railroad, to be styled the Washing ton and Pennsylvania Railroad, running from Washington City to the Schuylkill river, Schuylkill co., Pa. The Pennsylva nians named in the bill as incorporators are: Janice Duffey, Andrew Davis, Geo. W. Cole, Augustus Boyd, L. H. Allen, Robt. Ratcliff, Barton H. Jenks, B. Ban nazi, J. J. Conner, Chas. Baber, Nioh Seitzinger, Samuel Filbert, Daniel R. Mil ler, Wm. M. Randall, G. Dawson Coleman, D. M. Karrnany, Jac. Huntzinger, F. W. Hughes, P. F. Weimer, T. T. Worth, A. R. Boughter, Geo. Glenn, Christian Henry and Adolphus Reinoehl. The bill prescribes the mule of the road as commencing at a point in the city of Washington, in the district of Columbia, and running by or near to Brookville and Hood's Mills to the North Central railroad, and hence by way of Marietta, Lebanon, and Pine Grove, in the State of Pennsylva nia, to a point on the Schuylkill river, in said county of Schuylkill. The capital stock is fired at live million dollars, to consiat of ono hundred thousand shares, of fifty dollars each. Subscription books are to be opened in Washington, Baltimore, York, Harrisburg, Philadel phia, Pittsburg, New York, Marietta, Leb anon, Pine Grove, and Pottsville. • The fifth section provides that the Wash ington and Pennsylvania Railroad Compa ny shall have power to connect with the Sorthern Central Railroad, at or near the point where the said road crosses the line between the State of Maryland and the State of Pennsylvania, by consolidation or trans fer, as may be mutually agreed upon, and thereupon the said road, hereby authoriz ed, shall be of the same guage of the North ern Central Railroad, and of uniform width, so as to carry cars throughout its entire length.—F-raminer. JumEs IN THE OLDEN TIME.—The man ner in which juries are now treated, being furnished with everything necessary to their comfort, percents a strong contrast to the treatment they received in the early days of Pennsylvania.

A couple of deaf mutes at Pittsburgh, lately eloped and got married. The Erie Gaz.efte and Western Penn-. sy/vanian have been consolidated. The granaries of the farmers of Fay ette county are being depleted by mid night marauders. There are 383 Sunday Schools in Philadelphia, with 10,427 teachers and 105,422 scholars.

Forty-nine miles of water pipes were laid, and the location of 1,601 feet of pipe changed. Recently Oscar Sayan, a boy about sixteen years of age, residing with Mr. William Bossert in Hamilton township, Franklin county, met with a most dis tressing accident. He was on the horse power, while cutting corn fodder, and in some way, got caught in it, and had his foot crushed in a terrible manner. Dr. Montgomery was sent for, and am putated the leg just above the ankle. The boy is doing well under the circum stances. The other day a watchman in the brewery of Bergdoll S Psotta, near Fairmount Phi'la discovered a man named 'Wm. Boeringer, aged 23 years, lying on the boilers. He attempted to arouse him, when he found that he was dead. He went in there during the evening and laid down to sleep ; it is supposed that he became insensible, and was literary roasted to death. The skin on his wrists and stomach was en tirely burned off During the month of February the gold deposits at the United States Mint in Philadelphia were valued at 5117,358.- 52 and the silver deposits and purchases at $127,100 J.S.

The hog was a Chester White, and was two years and fire months old. It measured six feet and ten inches from the root of the tail to between the ears, seven feet and three inches in girth just behind the fore lees, and seven feet and nine inches around - the middle. The head weighed 74 pounds; and the weight of the whole hog, neatly dressed, was ten hundred and forty pan ads. Good judges estimat ed that he would make six hundred pounds of lard ! He was a good feeder, and we are assured that for the last four months, he did not drink any water. It was purchased at 12 cents per pound, making $124 80. A pretty round sum for one hog. 8=!
