PUNISHMENT Mr. Royce's Lecture---Disemer i lie tweet the Lecturer and the Rev erends Nevin. Robinson and Suesserott. The announcement that Mr. Ifoyee, the well-known champion of the abolition of capital punishment, would lecture in this city, drew out a large audience, among whom wore several clergymen and many Ineml.ers of their flocks. Mr. Boyce was introduced by Judge Hayes, and opened the question by saving that he desired any person in the audience who might wish to ask any question at any time during the lecture, to rise in his place and do so. He further stated that he would give opportunity fur reply ut the conclu sion of his address. Mr. 'Joyce then pro ceeded to the argument. Ile denied the right of the Commonwealth to indict the penalty of death as a punishment for crime; held that as all govermental power was de rived from the people, the State could ex ercise no higher powers than the individ ual man possessed,—that men had the right to seize each others property by con tract, therefore the State had the right to seize our property in the way of taxation, the consideration being the protection of life, limb and property. 'Phut man had the right to sell his services for a Consideration —the right to go into voluntary servitude or labor for the consideration of wages, &c.; that the State had the right to restrict man in his liberty as a punishment tor crime, having in view a beneficent of jest, viz: the protection of society and the re formation of the criminal. Mr. Buyee then spoke of the sacredness of human life and road a letter from John Bright, of England, in support of this view. The lecturer said that the best commentary ho could offer on this point Was the fact that the "Quakers " had always inculcated a deep reverence For 'Milian life, and mur der among this sect was unknown. Mr. Bovee thought the Commonwealth 1,111- Mated a strange blunder when it undertook to illustrate the sacredness of human life by judicially murdering the criminal. Many instances were then cited, showing that innocent persons had suffered death, among them Charles Boyington of Mobile, Pr. Hamilton, of Ky., Margaret I lough tailing, of Colutnlfia county, N. Y., all of whorl' were executed and afterwards proven innocent ; that human testimony was fallible and judgment and memory often at fault ; that a mistake under this ' law was necessarily a fatal mistake; that property might be increased or diminished, liberty taken away and again restored, lint neither executive nor legislative power could light the lamp of life when it lout ono , been extinguished. The lecturer then dwelt upon the demor alizing effects of capital punishment; citing instances where men had gone home from executions and committed murder; held that the lesson of the gallows were bad ; the effect pernicious ; that whenever the government educated the people in blood they became imbued With the same spirit, which manifested itself in acts of cruelty; that "like begat like," love begat love, hate begat hate; that our children should he tat alt lessons of love and forgiveness instead of brutality and wickedness. The mode of selecting our juries, in cap ital cases, was then rebuked. It Was shown that under our present system the law would have none but ignorant men, and those who believed in the hangman's rope. The experienco of those States winch had abolished capital punishment was then cited. Michigan abolished capital punish ment in ISA 'and for twenty-juur years-had demonstrated that society was better gov erned without the gallows than it would have been with it. The lecturer cited official documents showing that the crime of murder had diminished thirty per cent. Michigan has never returned to the old law, and every effort to restore capital punishment had toot with signal faihire. Rhode Island followed Michigan in 1859, and for eighteen years had refused to make hangmen of her Sheriffs. The united and concurrent testimony of Governors, Su preme Judges, Attorney Generals and prison wardens was to the effect that society was better protected, and the crime of mur der more certainly punished than under the old law. Rhode Island had taken no backward step. Wisconsin followed next in 1514, and fur nerenteen years had illustrated the bene ficial effects of the substituted law. Wiscon sin had taken no retrogressive step, for the statistics and statements of prison war dens, conclusively proved that the crime of murder, considering the increase of popu lation had decreascd nearly filly per cent. - ; that convictions were made easy when proof of guilt was clear, and that those terrible struggles between the people and the law were no longer apparent as before the law was abolished. Mr. Boyce then invited any gentleman present to reply, when the Hey. Mr. Nevin took the floor in defense of the gallows.— Instead of replying to the points Mr. Bovee's argument, he proceeded to argue the question of self-defense and made an appeal to the passions rather than the judgment of the audience'. Ile said that Mr. Boyce was undoubtedly opposed to defending his own family, and would un doubtedly say a benediction over the mur derer and let him go free—that this age of progress was carrying us into extremes, and undoubtedly would lead to free 1 , /V -r. Boyce ill reply said that lie had never advocated letting the murderer run at large, and as for the benediction, that part of it had long since been in the hands of the clergy ; that the clergymen who attended these executions had very nearly estab lished the fact that the gallows was the great spiritual agency fur the salvation of souls, and that nearly every criminal was swung from the gallows into Heaven; that 'when the elerg - 2,f. had succeeded ill Making this point a HWY more clear, then indeed may wo look for an increase ul murders, for the gallows will then he re garded 11.0 the straight and narrow way that leads to everlasting life. Now, said the speaker, this is true or it is not true. If it be true, then the gallows possesses no ter rors for the criminal, and if it be not true then there is a hollow mockery of religious professions. The Rev. Mr. Nevin arose and denied that any Protestant clergyman ever offered such assurance, and asked for the names of ally such clergymen. Mr Bove° replied that the press of the country furnished that information almost con stantly. Mr. Boyce then took up the Bible argu ment which he handled in a very able manner, showing that the statutes of the Old Testament had been susperseded by the new dispensation; that the coming of Christ established a new order of things.— At this point the Rev. Mr. Robinson said that Christ declared that He came not to destroy the law and the prophets, but to fulfill them. True, said Mr. Bovee, and how did he fulfill them? .The apostle de clares that ":cive worketh no ill to his neigh bor, for love is the fulfilling of the law." The clergyman resumed his seat The Rev. Mr. Nevin arose and said that John declared that no murdererbath eternal life abiding in him. Mr. Bovee, called upon the gentleman to quote the passage correctly, " He that hateth his brother is a murderer and it-la written no murderer bath eternal life abiding in him." The Reverend gentleman seemed to perceive the application and felt a little confused. The Rev. Mr. Snesserot asked Mr. Bovee, " Do you believe' . the moral quality of an action resides in the intention?" Suppos ing I should say yes, replied Mr. Bovee, which is probably your view orthe question, what of the moral quality involved in hanging witches and wizacds at Salem ? Mr. S uesserot replied that that was an age of the grossest ignorance and superstition. Yes, said Mr. Bovee, and there is consider erable of this ignorance and superstition remaining in Pennsylvania to-day. One of the clergymen asserted a little excitedly "there is a 'modicum of sound sense, I thank God, still left in Lancaster county."— " More than a mere modicum I hope, re plied Mr. Boyce." The discussion during the evening au:sulli ed a wide range and terminated about 11 o'clock. Mr. Boyce had one decided advant age over his opponents. He maintained his self-possession and composure throughout, while his opponents betrayed a little ner vousness which seemed at times much like irritability or ang er. The disputants each had their friends, and whenever a telling hit was made it was followed by laughter and applause. A general desire was manifested to hear Mr. Bove() speak again; and by a vote of the meeting he was invited to address our citizens again this evening; which he con sented to do. The lecture will be at the Court House, and will commence at 7i o'clock precisely. Free to all. Thesubjeet will be "The better plan t,r orlott c/tall be done with the eeitnitotl.

ATTEMI"r To BREAK JAIT.—A few days since a desperate and dangerous convict now undergoing a ten pear's imprisonment in our county prison, for assini It and bat tery with intent to kill, was discovered in an attempt to escape from his iron-clad cell. By means of a saw made Out of a bible knife, be had succeeded in cutting off a strip of the boiler-iron that lines his cell some two feet in length, and two inches in width. It is supposed that his intention was to use this piece of iron as a lever to break loose the iron-sheating that lines the ceiling of his cell, and then make a hole in the brick work above and break through the roof. lining a net maker, and having in his eell plenty of twine, he could easily have descended from the roof and scaled the prison wall. Fortunately Isis attempt seas discovered by the under keeper in time to thwart its accomplishment. A thorough examination of his cell brought to light quite a number of ingenious appli ances to assist 111111 in his escape. Among other things he had a number of short pieces of cord untie of net twine, with fancy little red and white ends. These were hung on the tel wall tastily festooned, as though in tended for mere ornament; but an examina tion showed each M bare a noose on the end of it, so that the separate pieces could be instantly connected, and form quite a long and very strong rope. He also had con, cealed among other things two false faces a small knife, and a bowie knife sheath, though no bowie knife was found. MONEY STOLEN.—A correspondent writ ing front 'Warwick twp., this county, to the Inquirer States that on last Thursday night Franklin Kissinger stole some seventy dollars from Edwin Brubaker, under the following circumstances: Edwin Brubaker, son of Moses M. Brubak er,and Mr. uskey, an apprentice of Mr. Brubaker's were sleeping in the mill as usual. Franklin Kissinger was with them in the mill during the evening, and when they retired to bed he asked permission to lay on a bench which stood in the mill room and sleep there. His request was granted, and while they were sleeping he got up and took the money from their pockets and hid it under the mill floor. When they awakened in the morning, he told them that some one had been in the mill at night, as he heard him creeping in through the window. They at once suspect ed him, and upon questioning him closely, he confessed he had taken the money, and told them where he had hidden it. They did not arrest him, and he has since left for parts unknown. He is about sixteen years of age.

CoNEsTorm CENTRE ITEMs—Moisrs. Eitiloes.—Mrs. Mary Musser, relict of Mr. John Musser, deceased, died in this village. on Wednesday last, the 10th inst., at the advanced age of tr 2 years, 3 months, itnil day. The deceased had been quite hearty and active, until about 4 ;years ago, when she lost her sight, since which time she sank gradually until the day of her death. All the fund that she took during the live weeks preceding her death, was about two spoonfuls of verythin broth ; she, however, drank occasionally a little water. She was in full possession of her faculties (except seeing, until her death. Der deseendams so far as it is positively known, are 11 chil dren, 32 grand children,99 great-grand chit • dren, 4 great great-grand children, total Ill; but it is supposed that the number of great grand children, and great-great grand chil dren are both somewhat larger. Of these, children, 39 grand children, great grand children and 4 great-great grand children survive her. This is a large num ber of descendants, when we take into con sideration that 4 of her children are un married, and another without any children. A great many changes are taking place this Spring in this neighborhood. Among them, J. l eorge Pries, who has t,,r 14 years kept the " Conestoga Centre lintel," the leading hotel in this village, intends rt., moving. This is universally regretted, Mr. I'. having kept one (if the most Icily public houses to be found anywhere. Pre ' vious to Mr. P.'s coining here, this village and tavern were noted for its disgraceful scenes of gambling, lighting and drunken ness, known as "Pinch-gut Pairs" and "Pinch-gut horse Races." Any one who ever attendtd any of these "lairs" and "horse races" will sustain us in saying that no more disgraceful scenes were enacted anywhere than here, and yet at present no village equal to this in size exists in Lan caster county, in which less drunkenness, disorder or rowdyism prevails than in Con estoga Centre. Strangers coming here uni versally speak well of our "orderly village and quiet taverns." And no one man can lay equal claim with Mr. P. to this reform. 110 never allowed any drunkenness, carous ing or rowdyism about his house, and so orderly a hotel did he keep that, though he is a firm, unflinching and outspoken Dem ocrat, the elections were continued being held, and all other public business trans acted at his house. Mr P. leaves this place with the respect and esteem of all its best citizens. ti. S. DEATH OF AN OLD OFFICIAL-Mr. John Riley who has been constable of Fulton township this county, since tho year 1328, died a few days ago at his residence in the village of New Texas in that township. Mr. Riley was much esteemed by all who knew him and the hid of his being constable for over forty years indicates his popularity as a public official. Mr. Riley was nearly eighty years of age at the time of his death. wife died oily some three weeks since. Very few persons far an elective potation as long and as satisfactorily as Mr. Ailey did. UNPATENTED iS estimated that there are over thirty t h ousand acres of un patented lauds in Lancaster County ; ill ,onsenuenee of this fact the following will be read with interest by all owners of real estate, who are not certain that their land has been properly patented : A memorial, signed by J. Gillingham Pell, of Philadelphia, ex-Secretary of the Navy, A. E.Borie, A. Pardee, James Ross Snowden, and many others, has been pre sented to the Legislature, asking fur favor able legislation in regard to unpatented tracts of lands. The present laws direct the Surveyor General to calculate the :Implant of purchase money, interests and fees due on cacti unpatented tract, and after the descriptions of said tracts have been transmitted to the Prothonotary of the re spective counties, and entered as herein after provided, the amounts so found to be due, together with live dollars fur the la bor and costs of making out and tiling, shall torus an aggregate sum, which shall be entered in a lien docket to be provided and kept fur that purpose; and the said sum shall bear interest at the rate of six per cent. In conformity with the law, lien dockets have beea forwarded to each coun ty, and on the nth of May next, and so on to the 27th of November, the Attorney llencral may cdmillence suit for the recov ery, as is provided by the act o 18th of April, of the 1111101 th t of lien, with additional costa. The menturaliNti, say that the State ought, of course receive her fail dues, but that it is nut just, that after having so lung slept spun her rights, she should at this late day, prosecute a suit to recover against a citizen a claim, nearly all of which is in sonic cries composed UfaCCUT/Ifflated inter est of more than a century and a half, and in Most Mover half a eeutury—a claim which in some instances exceeds the pres ent salable value Miami. They also say that much of this land has passed through Many hands since the original Warrant was issued by the State; inumh is owned by widows and orphans ; much has been sold fur taxes and is held by a county tax title, and on hundreds of tracts allure money has been paid for taxes than would with inter- est amount to [EOM, the present value of the huid. And they consider that it is a a grave questi - n whether, should the land be sold under - this law, the holder would not have a right tat recoVer front the ellunty all the I ma: Mx, he has paid. AN EitoOlt Colii:EVTED.—Mes.vw. Edi tors: The series of historical sketches of the churches of Lancaster City which yon are publishing in the Int,'ll,,yen eel., are very interesting to your readers of all religious denominations. They are valuable fur fu ture reference, its Well as for present read ing; they are tin our opinion) very lair and impartial, and tire also no doubt as correct as diligent researches can make them, but one error crept into the sketch of the Baptist Church, which we shall en as correct. You. ay that "through-:torde o out our et itinty, there ore quite a number of churches belonging to the Seventh-Day Baptists, Free-Will Baptists Winebren florist's, ..licitoont . tcs, Bunkers, and other minor sects, who believe that im mersion atone constitute baptism."— The Mennonites do not "believe that immersion alone constitutes Imptislitr • but on the contrary neither of the three Mennonite sects—Mennonite, New Men nonite and Amish—ever baptize by immer sion, but always by pouring. While there are other minor doctrinal differences be tween them anti the Dunkards, this is in tact the chief difference, and the one that caused the separation of the Dunkards front the Mennonites, and the formation of a new and separate sect by them. The Mennonites contend that there is no scrip ture for immersion. LCCAL MISCELLANY.--The 31,4riettion says that a German, a stone mason named Spelluom, on Sunday morning, the 13th committed suicide in Marietta by cut ting his throat with a razor. Ile resulted at the lower end of town. 'nodlly cause as signed is depression of spirits, in conse quence of being out of employment.— Deputy Coroner Routh held an inquest. Public sales this springare quite numer ous in all parts of the county; they are well attended, and good prices are general ly secured. A correspondent of the Is juicer writing from West Donegal twp., states that cows, in that section, have been selling from 40 to 123 dollars per head. Horses front 125 to 373 dollars, and pigs front 7 to 20 dollars each. Last year's prices were pretty well sustained in live stock, but farming implements, with few excep tions, sold somewhat lower than last winter!, Shad flies, which are regarded as a eer tank indication of early spring, made their appearance a short time since, at Washing ton borough, on the Susquehanna river, but have disappeared since the present cold snap—"gone where the woodbine twineth." The Reading Dispatch says there is a rumor afloat that the neighborhood of the quiet, beautiful and unostentatious village of Morgantown, near the Lancaster coun ty line, is to be the grand scene of a prize tight, on Tuesday, the 2:i'd inst. It is un derstood that the latest rules of the latest Prize light Congress will alone be rceog n i zed.

Dv yr:. A LON, Fox CiLksE.—A corre-ipondent in Salisbury township, this county, writes us a very good description of a fox chase, which is however too long to be published entire. He says "that the fox was known as the Wolf Rock Pox; that it had been living for .501110 six years on the Mine Hill, near the Copper Mines, and has heretofore proven entirely too fleet for many hunters, and likewise a ,great terror to the feathered tribe. The veteran hunter Brisbin Skiles, how ever, a short time since, proved too much for the cunning fox, which Mr. S. started, early in the morning, front his usual haunt on Mine Ifill, in Salisbury township, with a large pack of long-winded and wol. train ed hounds at Reynard's heels. After a cha.se of many miles—through portions of several townships--the fox was at last com pelled to talc,' refuge in a hollow tree near Smyrna. The tree was soon cut down and the old fox captured just as night was set ting in: Mr. B. Skiles says he has been fox limiting over thirty years, but never had such a chase before." AJAX. D'uti:s.--Tho alarm of tire on Sunday morning about .1 o . cl ock was caused by the burning of a frame shanty on Beaver street, near No. 4 Mill. The shanty was known as the "Buzzard's Roost and had been built by a gang of boys and young men, as a loating-place during the winter.
