We notice by the Franklin pa pers that the case of Herbers Donald son, of Euilentou, Venango county, Pa., who was suspended from the Presbyterian church for dancing, last Spring, was before the Clarion Presby tery on appeal. The Defendant de fended himself in an argument of two hours. The trial consumed tiie en tire day, and resulted in twenty-two to not sustain the appeal, and one, Mr. Caruahan, of Oil City, to sustain. The trial was an animated one. The Defendant took an appeal to Synod, which meets in Erie. The decision was a surprise to the community, as it was admitted that the Defendant could not dance, bui only tried to. A truly modeut girl Mill shrink from being under money obligations to a young man, even though he be her lover. Hut on the other hand, many a girl is careless as to how much money any young man may spend for her. Three and five dollars for a horse and carriage he can poorly afford, perhaps, yet she will go with him week after week, with no partic ular interest in him, unmindful ap parently whether he earns the money or takes It from his employer's drawer. He makes her expensive presents. He takes her to a concert. A young man respects a young woman all the more who is careful of the way in which he spends his money, uud will not per mit too much to be used for her. A thoughtful and well-bred girl will be wise about these matters. Ej OBITOAltY. BISHOP K. O. HAVEN, OF TIIE METHO DIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH. Syracuse, August 3'. Intelligence of tlie death of Bishop E. O. Haven, at Portland, Oregon, was received in this city to-day. SKETC H OF HIS LIFE. Bishop E. O. Haven was born in Boston, November 1, 18H0, and gradu ated from Wesleyan University in 1842.'. He united with the New York conference in 1818, in 1853 was elected to a professorship iu the University of Michigan, and in 1850 was chosen editor of Joan Herald, iu which position he earned a very fine reputa tion as a writer. In 1803 he was elected president of the University of Michigan under circumstances of great and peculiar embarrassment ; he however, soon showed himself master of the situation, and it was .matter of great regret to all the friends of the University, when, in 1S00, he resigned his position to accept a similar one in the Northwestern University at Evanstown, Illinois, where he re mained three years. In 1874 he was elected chancellor of the Syracuse University. He was also secretary of the board of education of the Metho dist church. Dr. Haven has been a member of five general conferences. In that of 1872 he was a promiueut candidate for bishop, but, although polling a large number of votes, he was not one of the eight elected. He was elected a bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church in May, 1880. Bishop Haven had a national reputa tion as a writer, preacher aud edu cator. Maud S. Buffalo, N. Y., August 4.

THIRTEEN FULL GROWN MEN QUIETLY UOBHUD HVA MELLOW VOICED KRIO AND AN I NT R REST I NO HEARING AT DENVER. H. M. Burton, the alleged stno rob ber, who whs arrested lit Pueblo and brought to Denver, July 1, had his preliminary examination before Judge Brazee a few days ago. Burton Is charged with robbing the stage run ning between Del Norloand Alamosa, about midnight or June 2!L The robbery was one of the most audacious in the annals of highway robbery, and links the name of the perpetrator with that of Billy Le Roy. The story of the deed Is best told in the words of J. B. McMillan, of Del Norte, one of the victims of the robbery, and who was the first and principal witness for the prosecution in the examination. He said in substance : "There were eight men and one woman inside the coach, and four men besides the driver on top. I was among the latter, sitting beside the dri- 1 ver. It was about midnight, I should think, and about twenty miles from Del Norte, when wo were halted. It was very dark, and we were just turn ing a bend when the word came to halt. There was only one man visi ble, to the left and about ten feet ahead of the coach. The robber was stand ing behind a piece of canvass stretched alongside the road, and had a revolver pointed directly at myself and the driver. He told us to deliver ourselves and he would not harm us, but if we made a bad break he would shoot. I was on the side next to the robber, and I immediately got down from my seat, followed by the driver. After he got down the robber emnc from behind the canvass and placed over our beads a cloth cap, which came down to our shoulders aud completely dlinded us. He then ordered us to stand still, and himself went to the stage door aud ordered the occupants to come out, one at a time, and take t heir position alongside the driver and myself. '"He told the passengers not to make any unnecessary movements, as they were all covered by the guns of his men in concealment, and their lives were in jeopardy. After the passen gers were all in line, he put cups simi lar to mine over their heads, and then proceeded to rille their pockets. He took nothing but money. Everything else he would replace just where he got it from. I do not know how much money he got. From me he got about ;?140 which lie took from my pocket book, replacing the pocketbook after he took the money out. He had a light burning iu front of the canvass, behind whicn was u reflector, which shed the rays directly iu our faces. He occupied about iifteen minutes to the search. He then ordered us to kneel, which we did, all In a row, and lie proceeded to rille the mail bags. The woman at his bidding, held the light lor him while he did this. He kept us kneeling about half an hour. He kept talking ail the time, using very good language. In fact, during the whole time of the robbery he was very gentlemanly. "lie had a soft, mellow voice. He was not nervous or quick, but did the work in a business-Hue manner. He was a man nearly six feet in height, smooth lace, had a heavy, light moustache, and would weigh perhaps one hundred and sixty-five pounds. He had on u dark hat and coat, and was not disguised iu any way. After he had robbed the mail he skipped off into the darkness. When we found lie had left we removed our caps, un tied each others' hand i, picked up the remnants of the mall bags aud the mail, and proceeded on to Alamosa, it is my opinion now that he did the work alone, and that his companions being in the bushes was all a hoax. A case of much interest was de cided by Judge Aeheson, in the United States District Court at Pitts burg, showing the necessity of putting deeds for land promptly on record. In 1873 Alexander Smith executed a deed to Henry Metzgar for a tract of hind in JefForson county. But the deed was uot filed for record until June, 1876. About a year afterward Smith conveyed the same land to Duncan McBane, who placed the deed therefor for record, Sept. 8, 1874. Metzgur sold his title to Geo. W. Wilson. McBane brought, an action of ejectment ugainst Wilson, who seems to have been- in possession of the land from the lime of his pur chase from Smith. On the trial ot the cause judgment was given in favor of McBane, on the ground that Metzgur not having placed his deed on record within six months after the date of its execution, and the deed to McBane having been first recorded, subse quently, the title to the land vested in McBane under the statute of Pennsyl vania relative to placing on record conveyances for lands. Licking Postage Stamps. As has been frequently stated, upou reliable authority, the common three cent postage stamp is poisonous, from the fact that corrosive sublimate is con tained in the mucilage used upon them Recently at Keene, N. H., a young man was badly poisoned from the fact that he used his tongue in wetting the stamps while applying them to about two hundred envelopes. The poison had been taken in sufficient quantities to produce violent pains iu the abdo men and limbs and other symptoms of quite an alarming nature. m m m More persons have been cured with Peruna than with all other reme dies put together.

JOHN MOYEIt, Administrator of Isaac 1 . Coleman, deceased. j Congressmen an Office lluikeis. Phllndplphla Tresit. The constant Importunity and un interrupted annoyance to which mem bers of Congress are subjected by our present civil-service system is an as pect of tho ease to which the public has not given much consideration. Henator Dawes recently called atten tion toil In a letter to the Sprlngfiold Jirjmliliran, to which we have several times had occasion to refer, hut In looking back through the files of The PrcM we are reminded that he was by no means the first in the field with this very complaint. Judge Kelley, then in his tenth year of service as Representative from the Fourth Phil adelphia, District, precmptorily de clined a renomluation from his con stituents except on condition that he should no longer be required or ex pected to perform the distasteful, thankless and unending labors of an office broker at Washington. The correspondenocon this subject between Judge Kelley and his constituents and other citizens of Philadelphia may be found in The Press of March 14, 1870. In his letter on this occasion Judge Kelley says that his constituents, and to a considerable extent the people of this city at largo, have superadded to his duties as a Representative the im possible one of finding places for all unemployed people of both sexes known to them, and promotion for all ambitious or discontented employees of the Government. He complains that this has become so common as to be lusun'erable. Every morning ho is besieged by the bearers of letters from good-hearted people to the extent of fifty or more, each of whom has been assured that he will get them work and wages without delay. This, he says, has been carried on to such an extent that it precludes the possibility of social intercourse, correspondence or study in his home. The disappoint ment and often destitution resulting to those who for days and weeks have been seeking a position under Govern ment, prompted to the step originally by a mistaken confidence In his ability to obtain for them, is painful to observe, and ho will no longer bo u party to such practices He proposes that the nominating Convention shall approve a proper civil-service bill and instruct the candidate to make its principles his rule of action, or that the Convention shall adopt a resolu tion deprecating any intcrferance by Representatives in the selection of subordinate Government employees. He insists that he shall be left free, if elected, to devote his time to the study of Important questions then at issue and the support of the great interests at stake. Since that time Judge Kelley has served eleven successive years in the House of Representatives. How far the energetic protest he then made has enabled him in this interval to avoid the persecutions of oflice-seekers or the solicitations of their friends we do uot know. As tho record shows that he has been able to give time and attention to the other matters he had at heart and give the country the ben efit of his labors, we infer that he has measurably escaped what Senator Dawes terms "the most exacting of all the labors of tho average Congress man." The subject of civil-service reform has been much talked of and much written about of late, and the next Congress will undoubtedly be called upon to legislate upon it. Those members who have no other claim upon their constituents than their in dustry aud persistency as ollice bro kers will doubtless be found opposing a reform that strikes at the source of their power. But Judge Kelly dem onstrated eleven years ago what Sena tor Dawes but repeats and emphasizes to-day, that for those who concern themselves with the real work of leg islation this enforced office brokerage is an unalleviuted nuisance. Fortu nately, it is iu their power to abate this nuisance effectually by uniting to secure the passage of a practical meas ure of civil-service reform. If the very men who so strongly condemn the present system will exert themselves with corresponding energy to improve it, its reform will soon be an accom plished fact. Measuring Building Materials. The following figures are worth re membering, as they will save a great deal of calculation and give approxi mutely accurate results with a mini mum of labor: A cord of- stone, three bushels of lime and a cubic yard of sand will lay one hundred cubic feet of wall. Five coursesof brick will lay one foot in height on a chim ney. Nine brick in a course will make a Hue eight inches wide and sixteen Inches long. Eight bushels of good lime, sixteen bushels of sand and one bushel of hair will make enough mortar to plaster one hundred square yards. One-fifth more siding and flooring is needed than the number of square feet of surface to be covered, because of the lap in the siding and matching of the floor. One thousand laths will cover seventy yards of sur face, and eleven pounds of lath nails will nail them on. One thousand shingles laid four inches to the weather will cover over one hundred square feet of surface, and five pounds of shingle nails will fasten them on No wonder that Europe is amazed at the way this country has been pay ing off its debt. The figures are start ling even to Americans. At the end of the war the national debt per capita was S78.25, and the annual interest burden $4.20. Now the debt per capita is $37.74, and the anuual burdeu $1.58. In the lust sixteen years the people have paid $1,764,435,000 interest on the public debt, and 1758.457,805 on the principal, or on account of the debt altogether, $2,527,092,305. i ill JMMII jl IIJIJ Qulteau's Petition to bo Released on Bail. Washington, August 4. Gulteau's petition to bo admitted to ball Is In Rome respects tine of the most remar kable documents that hat ever been drawn up for the consideration of nA Court of Justice. It is now in the pos session of District Attorney Corkhill, In whom Oulteau has the most im plicit confidence and to whom he iu trusts alt his secret,' If a man who talks so freely and unreservedly can be said to have any secrets. Guiteau Is undoubtedly becoming anxious to escape the penalty of his crime. It Is true that he has professed all along to be perfectly willing to take tho judg ment of his countrymen. Ho un doubtedly thought that when he shot the President he was doing what the majority of the people of the country demanded. It may be that he was as crack-brained as ho protended to be, and that he labored under the delusion that Mr. Arthur would protect him from the gallows on his coming to the performance of tho duties of the Presidency. However all this may be, it Is apparent that now ho has had enough of Imprisonment, and that lie has made up his mind that ho will escape the penalty of the law by the plea of Insanity. His petition to be admitted to bail is drawn in legal form, although as will be seen, there Is much in it th.it no lawyer would care to Insert, while there is much also, that a cunning man, who is de termined to feign insanity or a man really insane, would make part of his application. Should a lawyer be ap pointed to conduct Guilesu's case this application will unquestionably be used as evidence of insauity. Guiteau iu asking for release on bail expresses great sorrow that the President has suffered so much and so long from the wound he Inflicted. He did not in tend to cause him pain, but to remove him from the world in-t:.utly, and he seems to ask a favorable consideration from the Judges of the Supreme Court ot tho District of Columbia be cause he feels as much sympathy as anyone for tho suffering President. He asks his release because he fears that confinement will make him in sane. He repel whh scorn the idea that he is now insane, or that he was insane wnen he conceived or com mitted the crime. Ho insists strongly that he is now sane, but he says that he feels "the nimbus of insanity playing around his brain." He then goes on to reel tc some facts that indi cate that there is insanity in his ither's family. He says that his itlier himself was a religious mono maniac and that two relatives on his ither's side have been, and one is perhaps still, confined in asylums for he insane. He repeats again and igain thai he fears that the unaccus tomed confinement will result in driving him mad, and he urges his elease on that ground if no other, although lie thinks that, under the circumstances, the President's recov ery being now regarded as certain, justice demands that he should be ad mitted to bail. He offers a bond of fifteen hundred dollars, although he says that his own recognizance would be as good, as he wants to be tried and would present himself in Court on the day appointed as certainly as the day will come, which he suggests shall be February 1, 1882. He an nounces that he proposes t) m ilto his own defense, with competent leg il assistance. It may be mentioned in this connection that Guiteau is very desirious that flist-class legal taleiit should assist him. Hj says ho wants none of the riff-raff of the bar, and lie has more than once suggested that Emery Storrs shall be his lawyer. Guiteau wants his temporary release, not only t hat he may escape impend ing insanity, but that ho may take a trip to Europe, where he wishes to remain a month or two. He is evi dently still under the impression that his labor and sufferings demand some reward, aud that the suggestion that he ought to have a little recreation (that is the word used by him) would receive favorable consideration from the Court. While in Europe, he says lie will devote himself to the prepara tion of a lecture on a political subject, which he proposes to deliver on his return to this country. He tells the Court that he will undoubtedly "draw" well as a lecturer, and states that he has been so advised by others. Guiteau has been convinced, how ever, that he bad better not be released on bail. Since drawing his petition he has begun to realize that it would not be safe for him to make his ap pearance in the public streets- He fears the violence of the mob just as keenly as he did on the day when he shot the President, and he has there fore asked District Attorney Corkhill to keep the petition and not to present it to the Court. In accordance with that request, it is safely locked up in the District Attorney's office, but its principal features have been given above. mr - . . y. i... 'X--'tL. .... - .
