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.

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.

orator, will lecture at the Court House, in

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

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

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

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. It was
no doubt set tire to, by arm, of its lam oc
cupants. bass, nothing.
Sunday afternoon about 3 o'elock the
dwelhng house occupied by Mrs. George
hi orreeht, on Mulberry street near Lemon
was diseovered to be on lire during Mrs.
hf orreeht's absence. It appears that there is
but one hue fur the use of it and adjoining
house occupied by Mr. f loorge Miller, and
that a tire being kindled in Miller's house,
sparks were blown through the pipe hole,
and set tire to a bed in the other, which was
consumed, and set fire to the floor and other
woodwork. The firemen were promptly'
on the ground with their apparatus, but
their services were not required, the flames
being extinguished with a few buckets of
water. Loss, trifling.

sends us the following items of interest
from that pretty and pleasant little village :
The Bridge at Shober's Slackwater Paper
Mill is being repaired in a substantial man
ner. The contract for the same has been
awarded to Mr. John Schaeffer, and not
Daniel Shiil'er, as was erroneously an
nounced by us several days ago. It is ex
pected that the repairs will be completed
in about two weeks. The Messrs. Shober
have procured a very large and serviceable
boat, which will be used to ferry all ve
hicles, etc., across the stream at the mill.
On Saturday evening Miss Laura Gates,
a daughter of one of the residents of the
village, celebrated her 21st birthday anni
versary by a grand supper and party.
