Local intelligence. Sketch of St. Paula' L Methodist Episcopal Church, ancaster. 1n.1849 the First Methodist Church pur chased a lot on German street, and erected thereon a Mission Chapel for the use of the members residing in the southern section of the City, A Sunday School was at once organized and regular -ervices held therein under the auspices of the First Church.— This arrangement continued until 1851, when at the urgent solicitation of the south ern members, they were organized into a separate congregation, and the little brick Chapel became the Second Methodist Epis copal Church, with Rev. Jacob Dickinson as pastor. He continued to minister to the little congregation until the Spring of 1853. He was a young man of about 25 years, and was much liked by the congregation. He went from here to Philadelphia and is now, we are informed, preaching in Delaware. In 1853, Rev. J. H. Alday became Pastor. Ile was a young man of fine personal ap pearance and pleasing manners, and quite an eloquent preacher. During a few weeks of his pastorate,whlle be was prostrated by sickness, the members of the church com menced and successfully carried on a pro tracted meeting, during which about 30 probationers wore added to the church on trial. Mr. Alday married a daughter of the Rev. Father Beates, of this city. He re mained in Lancaster but ono year. He is now preaching acceptably and successfully aspastor of Ebenezer Church, Philadelphia. In 1854, Rev. George Brindle became Pastor. He was youthful, handsome, and popular with his people—a good preacher and a hard worker. His health becoming impaired, he remained in Lancaster but one year, and leaving this conference went West, and Is now preaching in lowa. In January, 1855, the First Church trans-, ferred the little brick meeting house to the Second Church in consideration of 9200 cash and the assumption of a small claim on the property held by Mr. Beam. In the spring of 1855 Rev. Henry Kill gore, though not then an ordained minis- ter, was sent on trial to supply the Church. He gave general satisfaction at tirst,though difficulties soon sprung up that caused much ill feeling. While be was Pastor the project of building a new chore!) was dis cussed, and generally approved of. In June, 1855, the little brick church on Ger man street was sold to the Mennonites for 81,250—with the reserved right of using it until the following ' August. The lot on which the present church stands having been purchased for 91,500, and the con gregation being too poor to build a new church upon it, the expedient was resorted to of building a rough plank church on the roar end of the lot. this was accomplished during the month of August, almost all the work having born done by the members gratuitously. It was a rude affair, however, set up on six rather shaky looking piers, constructed of the commonest kind of lumber, and rt'infed with coot non boards. 'rho interior was finished without the least regard to taste or ornament; yet it answered tolerably well during rho warm and dry weather ; but in the autumn a quantity of oilcloth had to be purchased to cover the leaky roof. At one time when Presiding Elder Cooper was ppreaching in it, n scion s a i r r e i, s i e t , u a r i ( id blow ttalf the roof ill' the frail great terror of the worshipers ; and on an other occasiiin, when the HalllC elergylllllll WILY officiating, the many Openings in the floor and walls admitted so much cold air that the preacher was thriven front his pul pit, and had to finish his discourse beside the stove in the middle of the 1,0111. But even before this time, the "Plank Church" bad proved omit a humbug and a failure. Altnost all the funds received from the sale of the little brick ithurch had been squan dered in its erection, and although sub scription hooks had been freely circulated among the people, [hero Was but little money in the treasury. i'harges of pecu lation were made against some of the col leetors, the Pastor himself not escaping suspicion. So great was the opptriition manifested against turn, that about the first of December, Itsss, he left his charge and went to Philadelphia; and a few weeks afterwards his place was supplied by ltev. Mr. Bodine, a young clergyman, who con tinued to preach in the Plank Church to the shivering worshippers until the follow ing spring. In February, lesti, Mr. Holt offered a resolution hentre the !Marti of Trustees, which was carried, to build an ornamental frame church, fronting on South Queen street. Specifications were drawn up and the contract to build the church awarded to MeGlinn it Hershey. In the following April, Rev. Christian Walters became Pastor. In June, Isai,the Board of Trustees annulled the contract for the erection of a frame church, and ap pointed a committee to have specifications drawn for the erection of a brick (bomb. ltyJulv the speeilications proposed by Sir.

Subscriptions were solicited and liberally responded to. Among other subscribers, We notice Iwo subscri p arms of 5550 each, lay the late President Bu chanan. About the first of August, Issti, the corner stone was laid by Rev. Dr. Bar tine, the sermon on the °evasion being preached by Rev. .1. W. MeCaskev, in a large tent erected nn the site of the Church. The name of "tit. Paul's" was given to the church by Mr. Walters. By November the building was under roof:old the base ment so far completed that lay hoard of trustees hold !heir meetings in it. Shortly afterwards the eitllt Met", threw up their contract, finding it impossible to go on without heavy loss. An equitable settle ment Was made with them by the trustees, and further worh was indetinitel postponed the congregation worshipping in the base ment. Mr. Walters remained pastor until the Spring: of Is:ts. this health becoming impaired, he went to Minnesota where he preached for ‘4OlllO time. Ile again came oast, however, and kited a few months ago In I larrisburg. Ile was a loan of consider able ability, d 1 allllollolSolllo ,ll alW lllllll anil arbitrary Wio , well liked by his people. 110 Was a good preacher and labored zeal ously in furthering the erection Of the new church. r i ot% Stilith, English. man by birth, was chosen Pastor, and rt monied one year. Ile was a good scholar, but, While here, 1101 very popular as a preacher. Ile made strenuous efforts to reduce the 4.1111,11 debt, which was then about $6,000, but only succeeded in raising about 41 4 0011 for that purpose. Shortly after leaving Lancaster, he severed his connec tion with the Methodist denomination, and Mined the Presbyterians, of which sect he yet continues a preacher, though at this time he is without a charge. In 1059, Rev. Levi IS. Mingles was sent to till the pastorate. He served but one year, luid although he was liked as a preacher, and filled the basement with a congregation of attentive worshippers, but little was tlonmiluring his terns toward the comple tion of the church. Ile is 00w stationed at Middletown, Pa. Rev. J. L. lleisinger, it graduate of Dick inson College, Pa , was appointed Pastor in 18(30.

Ills doctrinal discourses drew to his church numbers of the better educated class of people, though with the mass of church-goers lie Wan not very pop ular. Hoy. Thomas Kirkpatrick se wed the church during 156'2 and 1563. 'Flu war that was raging at that time rendered his pas torate rather Illealeeeieifill and 1111, iShle tory. A small portion of the debt, unty ever, was paid elf. In 10ryi, Rey. John F. Crouch took charge of the 4•ltreli, itrul remaimal pastor for three years. If not the ablest he was the best liked and most successful minister the church had yet ',retired. Large congrega tions attended his preaching, and large numbers were added to the church mem bership while not less than $1,500 of the heavy ifebt,which had burdened the church ever since its erection, none'. paid off, about $l,lOO of which was realized from the pro ceeds of a Fair gotten up for the benefit of the church by the ladies of the congrega tion. Ills pastorate was marked with pros perity, both in things temporal anti splr thtnl. Rev. George S. llurbe•k was appointed Pastor in 1007 and remained two years. To hint belongs the credit of having paid oil ; the last of the church debt, which at that 1 time amounted to over $1,300. The greater part of this onto was raised by the ladies at a Fair given in the fall of 1008. Prior to Mr. liurloek's pastorate the church had been no less than five times in the hands of the sheriff, suit having been brought from time to time by the creditors whose hearts ha , , been made nick by hope deferred. Al though Mr. Hurlock was a man of delicate health, be was a zealous worker in the cause of the church, even to his own physical in jury; and after two years' ministration, he left Lancaster regretted by all his parish ioners. lie now preaches in Bustletown, Bucks county. Rev. Edward T. Kenney, tits present Pastor, succeeded Mr. Hurloek, and has been in charge about a year. During the past autumn the church edifice underwent a thorough renovation, having been re painted throughout. The walls and ceiling of the audience room were hung with handsome paneled paper. The front of the building was elevated several feet, adding greatly , to its external appearance. The cost of the Improvement was $1,30e ahont $OOO of which has been already raised. Mr.Kenney i4a graceful speaker and asocial ; plummet!, anu is so well liked by his par ishioners that the coining Conference will most probably continue him in his present charge. ISt. Paul's Church will seat comfortably about 400 persons. The church member strip at this time is about 200. The Sunday School, under the superintendency of Mr. I. F. Abele, numbers about 200 scholars, and is In a very flourishing condition. When the Children's Home was ,I 1 South Qbeen street, the inmates attended St. Paul's, which swelled the number of Sun day School ' scholars to over 800. Mr. Abele has been Treasurer of the Board of Trus tees for the past thirteen years, a position which his many friends will regret to hear he is about to relinquish• The entire cost of the church has been not less than $lO,OOO, while the present in lebtedness is not more than $4OO. The Congregation pay their Pastor a salary of $800• - IMPORTANT TO BUILDING ASSOCIATIONS. —An exchange says "Commissioner De lano has decided that the earnings of Build orgi, whether the earnings are are not divided, are subject to the 5 per cent. income tax. It is an extremely for tunate circumstance for Mr. Delano, though equally unfortunate , for the country, that his decisions are altogether independent of equity or law. In the case of any other officer of the Government we might in quire upon what principle this decision is founded but the country pretty well under stands, by this time, that principles have nothing to do with the extraordinary rul ings of the Commissioner of the Revenue. Ho is not only a law unto himself, but the community have painfully learned that his extraordinary decisions absorb pretty much all the profits too. TIRE IN EAST LANIPETEIL—A barn, corn crib, straw-shed and hog-pen, together with all their contents,were burned on Wednes day last,March 2nd, in East Lampeter twp., on the Pennsylvania Railroad, near Mus selman's coal and lumber yard.

A LitrlcAsrun Conic - M.lv Com:soars Bur- CLUE„—A telegram received, on Thursday from Harrisburg states that, about 8 o'clock A. M. a man named Rohrer, originally from Lancaster county, Pa., but lately re siding in'Perry county, Pa., entered the Gum. hop of W. H. Lawser, on Market street, and asked to look at some pistols. Lawser handed him a National pistol.— Rohrer inquired if it was a good one, as he wanted one to shoot every pop, and request ed Lawser to load it, which was done. He asked the price ; Lawser said $l6; Rohrer offered $l4, and said he wanted a holster for it. Lawser then went to the back part of the store to procure one, when Rohrer placed the loaded pistol in his month and pulled the trigger, the ball passing through the roof of the month and lodging in the brain, producing instant death. The Cor oner's jury rendered a verdict of deliber- I ate suicide; the man was supposed to be depressed in spirits, being without money. ADDITIONAL FACTS.—The Daily Tele graph states the following additional facts respecting Mr. Rohrer, the man who com mitted suicide by shooting himself through the head yesterday at Harrisburg: Mr. Aaron M. Egolf having heard of the suicide entered the room and Identified the body. - Aaron M. Eglof (sworn). I have been acquainted with the deceased for some Wine; I did not think ho was altogether right in his mind; his name is Rohrer, but I do not know his first name; he claimed to be originally from near the Black Horse tavern, in Lancaster county ; saw him some time ago at the tavern of W. Thompson De Val tmear Shermansdale,Carrol twp.,Perry co. He subsequently went into Rye town ship, and lived. there. Saw him early last fall in Carlisle, where he bought a store and told me he was going to furnish a room near Shermansdhle, and invited me to come and see him. He always seemed to have plenty of money and spent it freely. He had at that time considerable money in the old Deposit Bank at Carlisle. He claimed to be single ; I think he drank consider ably, though I never saw him real drunk; he seemed from his talk to be quite a traveler. Several other witnesses were examined, • and the jury rendered the following ver diet : "That the said Rohrer came to his death by discharging a pistol in his own hands, while negotiating for the purchase of the same. It is furthermore the unani mous belief of the jury that the act was an intentional one, in consequence of mental depression:: The body was taken in charge by the ...rimer, and if not claimed by his friends, will be prverly buried. There was no money or any papers found on his body. A pipe, tobacco box and two pocket books containing fishing tackle, were found and taken in charge Ly tho coroner.— The deceased was quite well dressed. Mr. Henry Gilbert informs us that a short time previous to rho suicide the same man, he thinks, entered his store and walked to the stove and inquired for Colt's pistols, saying he wanted a largo sized one, and one oC his clerks told him he would be apt to get one to suit at Mr. Lawser's. We sub sequently learned that he visited the hard ware store of Kelker & Co., in Market square, and examined a Colt's revolver there shortly after seven o'clock. The Patriot says that the name of the man who thus put an end to his existence has not yet been definitely ascertained. Mr. Egolf says it was Rohrer (not giving his first name), but this is not altogether cer tain, others believing that it was Blower. There was nothing on the person of the de- ceased to convey the faintest intimation as to who he was. Ito was neatly and com fortably attired, and seemed to be perfectly rational a9non he negotiated fur the pur chase of the instrument of death. It appears he visited a number of hardware stores prior to entering Mr. Lawser's and inquir ed for Colt's revolvers; and it is behoved he would have committed suicide sooner had a good opportunity presented itself.

The Cadet Male In ventlirntlon WASHINGTON, March B.—The Military Committee examined Mr. Anderson, of Lima, Ohio, to-day, the father of the boy appointed to the Naval Academy at An napolis by Mr. Mungen, of Ohio. Ho tes tified that he was.introduced to Mungen by a justice of the peace named Overmeyer, who lives in his town. Overmeyer led Mungen to suppose that Anderson was a Deinocrit, whereas he is a Republican. The application for the appointment was endorsed by a man named Wilson, and the district attorney of the county, Mr. Brotherton. Mungen appointed Anderson's son, for which Anderson paid Wilson $:100. Wilson divided this snot with Brotherton. Anderson swore that he did not believe Mungen know anything about the money being paid, and he did not receive any partof it. Some witnesses were examined in the case of Butler, of Tennessee, but their evidence was merely' explanatory, and will not alter the case. The committee will report all the cases before it together to the House. Messrs. Covode and Mungen will be ex culpated from all blame. Butler of Ten nessee will probably be let off with a resolu tion of censure, though some members of the committee are in favor of reporting a resolution of expulsion in his case. They contend that he is in all respects as guilty as Whittemore. The New Iteimipshire Eleetion . . CONCORD, March B.—The beautiful spring weather made everything favorable for the State election to-day. There were four can didates in the field for Governor, as follows: Stearns, present incumbent, Republican; Bedel, Democrat; Flint, Labor Reform; Barrows, Temperance; but, as in former years, the struggle was between the two popular parties, Democratic and Republi can. CONCORD, March 8-11 P. M.—Complete returns from 162 out of 233 cities and towns in the State show a Republican loss of 460 out of a total vote of 38,000. As all the larger districts have been heard from, there can be but little change in the rest of the State vote. Stearns, Republican, will have about 3,000 majority, against 3,700 last year. CONCORD, March 8--Midnight.—The towns give a loss to the Republicans of nearly 1,500. They still claim the State by from 500 to 700 majority. In Concord the Democratic gain is 208, while in Ports mouth they lose nearly 300. The Temper ance vote will probably not reach 1,500, and they will fail to secure a single representa tive. Nearly one-half of the State has been ! hoard from, and figures are as follows: Stearns, 17,912; Bedel, 13,056; Flint, 3,331; Barrows, 714 ; beings Republican loss from last year of 1,377. The Labor Reform vote will probably not exceed 5,000. They will elect ten or twelve representatives, but some of these conic from the Democratic ranks. CONCORD, March 9-12:30A...it—One hun dred and sixty-four towns foot up—Stearns, 27,786; Bedell, 19,420; Flint, 5,114; Barrows, 999. Not Republican loss 1,855. The other towns to be heard from have been [her °uglily canvassed. Both Democrats and Republicans admit that their votes will not materially effect Stearns' majority. Both branches of the legislature are large ly Republican. A Republican Senator will of course be returned to the United States Senate. Co:icon'', March S.—Returns have been received from over two-thirds of the State, which give Stewart, Republican, 26,554; Bedel, Democrat, 17,031 ; Flint, Labor Re form, 4657; Barrows, Temperance, 801. Stearn's loss from last year is over WOO.— His majority last year was 3571. Stearns is probably elected at from 1000 to 1500 ma jority. The Legislature is Republican, with the majority reduced front last year. Another Treamnry Rnid There is a bill now pending in the House entitled "An act supplementary to an act relating to certain corporations, approved the 2.3 d day of April, 1511." It has already passed the Senate, and is up to third read ing in the House. Like many other acts for which the Legislature of this State is noted, it seems to hare been put through thus far without much consideration. This bill will be found in our legislative proceed ings, in another column. A Committee of the House has been appointed to ascertain, front the Auditor Gem:al, the effect the passage of the bill will have on the ees. It is evident that in preparing the bill an effort has been made to conceal its real meaning. In tact, we hardly understand, after the hasty examination we have given it' what will be its full effects on the finan ces of the COllllllOll wealth. We are inform ed, however, that those Who have charge of our monetary affairs state that should this measure become a law it will take from half a million to one million of dollars out of the State Treasury annually. It is well known that at the present time the revenues of the State are principally derived from corporations. This bill is un derstood to release railroad, banking and manufacturing companies and all other corporations frill the tax on their stock. On page live of the last Auditor General's report we find that the fourth item of re ceipts shows the lax on corporation stocks to be one million thirty-seven thousand one hundred and seventy-two dollars and five cents. To release the payment of this, or any material part of it, would so seriously effect the revellin, of the State that other sources of income, either by taxation on real estate or otherwise, would be required. It is acknowledged by all that this bill also authorizes companies to increase their capital out of their earnings, without pay ing the bonus tax tin required by law.— This tax amounted to over sixty thousand li dollars last rear. 11,5 much it will be affected by this bill cannot of course be closely estimated, but it is certain it will he very materially reduced. There is another bill following this one, now on the files of the House, which is considered a sequel or adjunct to it. The first one, No. I-19 of the Senate, authorizes corporations to increase their capital stock, out of their earnings, without paying the bonus of one-half of one per cent. The second bill, No. T all, of the house, author izes corporations to reduce their capital stock and distribute the same in cash pro rota among the stockholders. This will enable the managers of corporations, by the first bill, to capitalize their earnings in stead of declaring dividends, which are subject to what amounts to a tax of five per cent. Then immediately after, turn around and reduce the capital stock and distribute the canoe in cash. In this way the State loses the tax oil vorporation stocks, which, as above stated, amounts to over one mil lion of dollars a year. The members of the House of Representatives should not act hastily in this matter. This bill should be postponed until its nu ening is fully known, and if its effects are as above stated it should never pass, and those who vote for it trill certainly be called to ac count by their i•onstituelits.—Hil , isl.sry Petnot. Logs of n Schooner Owned by 130,000 Monday Sehool Children. From the Boston Ady,tiser. The schooner Morning Star, which sailed from this city on the kith of November, laki, for the Pacifie, in the service of the American Board ..f Commissioners fur Foreign M.iis.sions, was lost early in October on one of the Micronesian Islands in the Northern Pacific, and the tidings reached this city yesterday, by was of San Francisco. Several missionaries arid her crew were aboard at the time of the disaster, but nobody was lost. This event will interest thousands of Sunday school children, by whose contributions the Morning Star was built. About 20ou Sabbath schools were represented, and over 150,000 certificates of stock were issued to the children, who subscribed in the aggregate over e.'25,000. The Morning Stir a staunch little craft of about 2 0 0 tons, and was used exclu ! sively to keep up intercourse and carry missionaries and supplies between the I Sandwich Islands and the Marquesas and i the Micronesian Islands, making a trip every year to each of these distant groups. She was much used by the natives in their missionary movements, being, indeed, un der the special direction of the Hawaiian Board of Missions, though supported by a yearly appropriation of about .f.:3,000 from the American Board. She sailed from Boston under command of Capt. Hiram Bingham, Jr., himself a missionary. and arrived at Honolulu, March 13, 16137, and has ever since been ac tively and most usefully employed among the islands. At the time of her loss she was in command of Capt. A. Tengstrong, Capt. Bingham having resigned her com mand some [line since. She was insured for .18,04.10, the amount being divided equally, in the New England Mutual, the China, the Neptune, and the Boston offices. 'rite first Morning Star, of about one hun t tired and fifty tons, was built at Chelsea, in 183, entirely by the ten cent contributions of children, .1 did good service for many years; but she was hastily built, and in less than ten years was found to be in such a state as to require very extensive repairs to make her seaworthy, and it was judged best to sell her, and build the new Vessel Which has just now tern lost. A. Monstrous Swindle Con tem plaled The knowing ones in legislative eireles whisper ominously, the kings of the ring aro full of business, the harpies who prey upon the souls of men arfl whetting their beaks for another onslaught. A powerful combination is being formed to outrage the people. An infamous wrong is about to be perpetrated upon the taxpayers of the State under the guise of the advancement of her interests. The proceeds of the sale of the public works, amounting to six millions of dollars, arc clo be swept out of line treasury and replaced by a bogus security. The half million of dollars that came annually from that source to pay the interest on our debt are to be sent to swell the coffers of a mam moth corporation and the law and the Constitution to be violated at its command. The shadowy outlines of a liig,antic scheme begin to grow distinct, and to portray, to those who will use their senses, the well developed plans of astute and able men, who hesitate at nothing in the interest of the creature they serve. A railway project through the barren regions of 'nowt, Potter and M'Kean, is the excuse fur the proposed depletion of the Treasury, and this is the great good that is to repay the State for the contemplated burglary. Senators and Representatives, consider before you act! Constituents and tax payers, watch with a jealous eye the votes of your Senators and Representatives until the session closes ! It shall be our duty to watch and speak.—liarrisbarg Patriot.
