Pe troleum Railroad, between tbat city and Erie. We hope both roads will be built we give place in another column to a column to a communication in answer to one published a few days since by Mr. J. Moorbead, witb reference to tbe late dona tion to Rev. Sobofield. We have taken no tides on tblt question whatever, and tbe answer to the first article la allowed at a matter of justice to tbe M. E. Society. It seems to us, however, tbat tbis latter eom- muqloatlon fails to anawer tbe question ask ed In tbe first, viz: "Was tbe money rait- ed at tbe donatiou, charged up as a part of Mr. ScboBeld's salary ?" Tbis question does not appear to be answered by "A Member.' As before stated we have no feellog what ever in tbe matter, but would caution those Interested, or who may write commuaica tlons on tbe subject hereafter, not to Indulge in personal abuse of each other, but confine themselves to questions at issue. Our col umos are always open to communications of interest to tbe public at large, but we can not allow them to be perverted to personal abase of any individual, society or aect. A snow-bound, Pad Bo Railway train, bound East, contained two youog men going home to get married. The happy . day bad been all st and everything was ready but them. Tbey fairly howled witb rage and vexation, and swore tbey wished tbe snow was in a warmer climate. Tbe very day tbey were to be married It snowed soore than ever, and at tbey taw it coming up on the track, drift on drill, tbey looked as if tbey were to be bung instead of married. Tbat nlgbt, as one of tbem crawled Into bis berth, as cold aa an icicle and shivering like a poplar leaf, be stuck bit bead out from between tbe curtains, and said: "I say, Bill, this ain't what we expected, Is it!"

Mr. Editor: We noticed in tbe Satur day's Issue of tbe Record a very lengthy and labored article written by aorae one over tbe signature of J. Moorbead, a name, which, judging from tbe tone of his effusion, and defined by tbe aid or tba "rays ol light" he baa so recently thrown upon lexicography, would signify an overflow of bile, and oot much heart We laid aside the paper, witb pily in our heart .for tbe man who could find no higher, or more ennobling employ ment, than tbat of traduciog and defaming bla fellow beings. We should have passed it by without further thought or comment, but for Ibe unwearying attempts of others like-minded, who manilestly take pleasure to adding fuel to tbe flame, and we feel It a duty tbat we owe tbe publlo as well as our selves, to say a few a words lo defence ol tbe Right. So be it known, that on tbe evening of March 29tb A. D. 1172, we, as members of tbe M. E. Church, thankfully received the donation to freely bestowed oy tbe generous hearted publio, for the benefit of our pastor, tbe Rev. Mr. Scbofleld, and he It lurtber knowo tbat tbe same' was receiv ed by Aim, together witb a list of the names of all tbe donors, witb tbe amount given by each attached, and without one word ol commeot upon tbe manoer in which It was 'o be applied. We are tree to contess that we bave had our mlagiviogs of not being able in our present weakened condition, to raise ;tbe wboie of tbe salary agreed upon at tbe commencement of tbe present confer ence year, while tbe cburcb waa still in full strength, financially, as well as numeri cally, but we confidently affirm tbat not a single member of tbe cburcb will on account of said donation, consider himself in the 'east degree absolved (rum doing his whole duty in git ing to tbe extent of bis ability in order if poesibls to raise the full amount, and we consider tbe donation will be an ex tra benefit, whether we succeeded In raising tbe salary or not, for should we fail, it will be through no moral delinquency on our part What it the cards of Inviiatiou were not, through oversight, as judiciously word ed as tbey might bave been tbe beat of us are liable to err at times and, we ask, in the name of humanity, what good waa ex pected to result, by striving so bard to put upon It sucb an nojust conduction; but we sincerely hope, and honestly believe, tbat every candid, rigbtmloded person, will view tbe whole thing in its true light not- withstanding tbe false light in wbicb it bat been so prominently and maliciously pa raded. We are liappy lo tbe tbouzbttbat each one who contributed bis mile, wiib the in tent of doing god"1 hereby, was made hap pier by tbe aot, as was evident from the general good will tbat prevailed tbrouubotit tbe entire evening. It is in view of tbe good tbat was designed, and actually at tained tbat we regret tbe uogenilemaoiy and maligoant attempt to bring reproach and condemnation upon tbe whole affair. In Imitatioo of Satau of old wbo appeared a an angel of light lo order to accomplish bis fiendish designs, even so, from Leneatb tbe mantle of justice be sends lortb upon tbe oburob bis venomous slur, which is aa false as it is libelous. In "defining" tbe word "donation" be says, "There teem to be, lo the minds of some of tbe residents of tbis place a lack of knowledge and consequent paucity of under standing upon tbe full meaning of tbe word, " to. Let me ask, bow could tbe card of in vitation bear falsehood upon its very face, when we were in darkness as lo tba true meaning of Ibe terms we used. Wbal a pity this great luminary was not risen in time tot brow tome "rays of light" pou our pathway before the fatal error was com mitted Also, bow can it be averred tbat we attempted lo "hoodwink tbe public," Ac, when it was through Ignorance we used tbe wrong words in expressing our In vitation? Does it oot all go to abow a per sistent and malignant desire to stigmatise thacburob? Had ba contributed evsn a dime, in the aforesaid "donation," and had it been misapplied, then wa could find It iu our beart to frame some excuse for blm, but as It it we can only pity tbe soul that bas become the fountain of to much bitterness And riow, in closing, we woul i tnggeti a balm to beat tbe wound bis magnanimous (?) beart bad received on accouotof so much 'subterfuge and deception" on part of Ibe cburcb, end let It be in tbe form of a good round sum properly donated lo IbePastor, of whose services be seems to . bava eueb a just appreciation, or wo wouldlso be wit. ling tbat It should be left with the editor ol tbe Record, to see tbat it was not charged but properly given, only sea lo it tbat tbe pastor receives the "benefit," and we will ba satisfied.
