RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
Ti E BET.7"101 - S PRKAS ON THE RIS1: I:1 PActut.—
A meeting of the publishers of the religious news
papers of New York and Boston has just taken
place in the former city, for thcpurpose of consider
ing what ought to be done In view of the late enor-
moue increase in the price of paper, and in the gene-
ral expense of publishing. The result of their deli
berations is given ih a preamble and resolutions of
which the following is the substance: That the re
cent increase in the price of paper—from bit to 100
percent.—has made it an imperative necessity on
the p ar t of publishers of newspapers, either to sus
pend their issues, raise the terms of subscription. or
diminish the size of their sheets; that the adverti
sing rates of the several papers, as published, should
be more rigidly adhered to, and that hereafter no
tices of marriages and deaths, obituaries, statements
and appeals by all societies and institutions solicit
ing f un ds from the public, should be paid for as ad
vertisements; that the law of the last session of
,00ngress levying a heavy tax on the materials of
their business, the advertisements, and on the In
come o f the publisher, is peculiarly oppressive ; and
- finally, that a committee be constituted to transmit
the latter resolution to the President of the United
States, to each member of the Cabinet, and to the
chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, in
Congress.
A PLUASANT linurrtorr. The Rev. J. Hyatt
Smith, the eloquent and justly-popular pastor of the
Eleventh Baptist Church of this city, who has been
for woe months past sojourning in Europe and the
East, has been formally welcomed home by the peo
pleof his charge. The interesting event took place
in the lecture-room of his church, where a table was
set ainid a scene of innocent festivity in which about
four hundred of his members and friends partici
pated, including almost all the aged members of his
congregation. The chair was occupied by Mr. Smith,
and the welcoming speech delivered by the Rev. Mr.
Dickerson, editor of the Christian Chronicle. The oc•
oasion was, emphatically, "A feast of reason and a
flow of soul ;" and, although mingled with fare of
Amore material character, it was, nevertheless,
beautifully suggestive of the spiritual and unending
retinion reserved for the faithful in the world to
come.
THE TALMAGI I 'FAMILY—ANOTHER. REuNfozc.—
prominent, if not first among the preaching families
of this country, etc the Scudders, the Beechers, and
the Taimages. In all three of these the missionary
spirit has been conspicuous, and occasionally, when
one of their number, after an absence in heathen
lands for many years, returns to his former home and
friends in America, his brethren according to the
flesh, if they will allow the figure, "bring forth the
best robe, and kill the fatted calf, lin honor of the
event. On the recent return of the Rev, John V. N.
Talmage, missionary of the Reformed Dutch Church'
to China, after an absence of many years, a mill was
made for a meeting of all the eons and daughters of
neeeavid T. Talmage, and Catharine Van Ness, his
wife, The latter came with their partners and chil
dren to the number of fifty persons, at once tp greet
the returned brother, and to honor the parents who
have been spared to a good old age. The occasion
was celebrated by religious services. The opening
prayer was offered by Rev. James Talmage; a ser
mon was preached by Rev. John V. N. Talmage,
and the closing prayer was offered by the Rev.
Goya Talmage. On Friday night following, they
all convened in the ample mansion of another
member of the family, Col, Daniel Talmage, where
they sat down at a well-supplied table. The Rev.
T. De Witt Talmage, pastor of the Second Refonned
Dutch Church of this city, who is also a son of the
venerable couple above referred to, in a short ad
dress upon this occasion remarked, as we learn from
the New York Christian Mall igencen that the Tal
mage family is a ministerial family,.in reference to
which allusion was made to the four brothers al
ready named ; also to Rev. Jehiel Talmage, de
ceased; Rev. Samuel K. Talmage, D.D., of Georgia;
Rev. Peter Stryker Talmage, son of Jehiel ; Rev. T.
Adrian Talmage, also deceased; and Rev. Stephen
fdershon,-who married into the family:
THE CHVIICH OB THE ISTEW TasTaxnll..—The
congregation composing this church, of which the,
Rev. Thomas H. Stockton, D. D., present Chaplain
to Congress, is pastor, have secured the lipuse o[
worship at the corner of Eleventh and Wood
streets, where they purpose regularly to hold wor
ship every Lord's Day hereafter. We are authorized
to state that during the absence of Dr. Stockton at
Washington ; the pulpit of this church will be occu
pied es frequently as convenient by the Rev. Dr.
Erauth, editor of the La/heron and Missionary. Dr.
R. is a learned and effective preacher, and we con
'gratulate this congregation upon having thispromise
of his services.
ILLNESS OF THE REV. BENJAMIN TELLER.—The
•numerous friends in this city, and elsewhere, of the
venerable Lutheran divine, Bev. Benjamin Keller,
will be pained to learn that he is seriously - ill from
a recent severe fall. Mr. Keller is the clergyman
who sa ably arranged and: managed the popular
series of lectures given in this city last season, in
behalf of the publication interests of that denomi
nation.
TUB CONTRABANDS AT PORT RorAi...—A writer

behalf of the Congregational Union, a lease of the
Chapel, No. 23 Rue Royale, near the illadelaine, re

therefore, soon be reopened for English worship by
the Congregationalists.
PETITION TO THE POFE OF RONEE.—It is stated in
foreign journals that nine thousand Italian priests
have just presented a petition to the Pope, in which
they entreat of him, in the name of religion, to

PATRIOTIC itErIOLCTIONS.—The Seventh-Div
Baptist Church of Welton, lowa, held a meeting
November 10, to discuss the moral aspects of the
war, and after mature consideration, adopted a 512.
rie s of resolutions on the duty of the churches on
the subject of slavery, giving cordial support to the
President's proclamation, the critical nature of
passing events , the solemn responsibility of the na
tion to "let the people go,t , the certainty that God
has espoused the cause of the oppressed, and the
duty of the churches to lift up their voice in vindi
cation of the right.
DIV/SION OF PROTESTANT aSETRODISTS.—The
organization of Protestant Methodists has [men
divided in the interest of slavery—the General Con
ference having countenanced the revolt' in the
South. The churches in the free States thereupon
appointed n " convention with plenary powers,"
which met at Cincinnati on the ioth of Novembor,
and passed n series of loyal resolutions supporting ,
the war and the proclamation in the fullest winner.
They then appointed the quadrennial conference to
be held at A limheny, Pa., the second Wednesday in
November, 1866, thus reconstructing the N. P.
Church on its old basis.
NO SYMPATHY FOR MIiRDERERS.--The
people of New Vim, Minnesota, one of the towas
sacked by the Indians, recently held a meeting to
take action regarding the rumors that the President
intended to pardon some of the savages who had
been sentenced to death for particidlidon in the out
rages. Among the resolutions whitql they adopted
was one to the following purport: "Thal if the
policy of our Government should lead to the re
establishment of the Sioux Indians upon their old
reservation in the State of Minnesota, it will be
come our sacred duty as It is our unshaken determi
nation, to wage a war of extermination against
them—those murderers of our fathers, mothers,
wives and children—and not to spare either! man,
woman or child of that infernal tribe, until Minne
sota is either cleared from every Indian, or reduced
to an Indian Territory." •
COAL IN INDIANA.—An investigation L 3 now
going on, under the auspices of experienced, scien
tific, and practical men, which promises the most
flattering results in the discovery of coal at the base
of 1 + Bunker Hill," the southern suburbs of Vincen
nes, Indiana, on the land of Rev. Bishop St. Palate.
The Sun says that, already, at the threshold of the
•"proapecting," tine specimens of bituminous and
cannel coal have been found, with indications of a
three-foot vein of the former and a four-foot vein of
the latter. Some of the coal discovered has been
used at the gas works with entire satisfaction.
JONES AND EVANS.—About the year 1825, a
witness in a Welch cause was examined before Dlr.
Justice Allan Park. Hie name was John Jones.
He was asked if he had always gone by that name,
and he said he bad. He was then asked whether, at
the time he lived at Carmarthen, he did not go by
the name of Evan Evans, and to this he replied also
in the aflirmative. This apparent discrepancy was
.explained to the court by Mr. Taunton, afterwards
ft judge of the Court of queen's Bench, who stated
that Evan is the Welch synonym of John and Evans
that of Jones, and that John Jones might be called
indifkrently Evan Jones, John Evans, or Evan
Evans, without any real change of name.
NO DIFFICULTY TOO GREAT FOR A PAIR
OF LEGS AND A LONG HEAD.—When the Pre
sident landed at Monis Creek, going to see Burn
side, there were boards in the way on the wharf,
Which the men hastened to remove, but the Presi
dent remarked, in hie usual style, a Never mind,
b o y o , mows arc pretty long ; have brought me thus
far through life, and I think they will take me over
this difficulty?'
TOBACCO CROP TN ILLINOIS.—The 'Vin
cennes Sun Is surprged at the breadth of tobacco
planted In Illinolor. There cannot be less than 16,000
acres in addition to the usual crop, which is as much
more, for some counties on the Ohio river have
raised_ it many years. It will average a full crop—
perhaps ;mote. On good grobnd, and.with careful
culture, there will often be 2000 Pond" Cured to•
bacco to•the acre. - • -

The rain and snow-water during Noiemher was
4.625 inches, making eighty million five hundred and
eighty-five thousand .nine hundred and ninety-five
gallons on every square mileof surface. Depth of snow
ten inches. From all the records of snow, from the
year 1790 to the Bth and 9th days of November, 1852,
there fell a quantity of snow unparalleled in all that
Period for the said month of November.
TILE PRICE OF GA:3 4 ,—Gas bills at present
are reduced one-ninth of the whole amount, with an
additional national tax of fifteen cents per every
thousand feet consumed. The one-ninth decimation
is allowed upon all bills paid within five days after
presentation, or being left at the house of the con
sumer.
The Trustees of the Gas• Works, in the sole view of
meeting the national tali, so that it would not be
onerous upon the consumers, made the arrangement
to allow one-ninth discount, which is equivalent to
furnishing gas at two dollars per one thousand feet,
being twenty-live cents less than the previous rate.
The national tax is fifteen centson every thousand
feet, which, after calculation, will be found to nearly
balance the old arrangement of five per cent. discount
on the whole amount -a bill for one thousand feet at
$2.25, would yield an abatement of eleven cents,
making the net amount to be $2.14. Under the new
arrangement, one-ninth of the whole amount, twen
ty-five cents, is thrown off, and the national tax of
fifteen cents is added; this, it will be seen, only adds
four cents per thousand feet to consumers, while at
the same time. they are contributing to the support of
the National Government.
IYe learn that the coal' contractors are bringing
considerable pressure to bear upon the trustees to re
lieve them from their contracts, &TWO there has
been an advance in the price of coal. How they will
succeed remains to be seen.
A CHAPTER OF SAD ACCIDENTB.—A
frightful accident took place Saturday about
noon, at the soap-stone quarry on the line of the
Norristown Railroad, above l'ianayunk. A bank
of earth fell in, crushing three workmen and causing
their instant death. The unfortunate men were all
married, and two of them resided in thtimmrediate
vicinity of the place where the accident took place.
The scene,when thrfamilies of the deceased learned
of the death of their protectors, was moat agonizing.
The names of the victims were as follows : Christian
Rex, aged 45 ; Peter Teague, aged 38; Thomas Sinet,
aged 45. The last-named resided at Spring Mills,`
George. Carr, fifty-six years. of age, was caught
in 'the pinking machine at Hill's mill, Twenty
second ward, on Saturday, and was so seriously
hurt that-he died soon after. On Saturday morning,
while a horse attached to a milk wagon, was stand
ing. near the North Pennsylvania Railroad depot,
a splinter of wood was accidentally stuck in his
thighs. This caused the animal to rear and plunge
about with thepain. In doing so, he slipped on the
ice and broke his neck. John Bennett, aged 24,
while engaged , in moving coal cars at the yard of
Charles Weiss, in the Twenty-second ward, on
Saturday, fell, and a wheel passing over his arm,
crushed iI in a shocking mapper. Late on Friday
night, while the snow was falling thick and fast,
under the power of a western blast, a large branch
of one of the trees in Independence Square,
opposite
Library street, was torn from the parent stock. In
its descent, it came very near smashing a car that
was detained on the track, in consequence of the fire
at the stable of the States Union Hotel, The pas
sengers were dreadfully frightened.

MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING AFFAIR.—III the
latter part of last week a lady, residing in Market
street, Camden, whose husband deserted her about
eleven years ago, and who has since married another,
with whom she is living happily, and by whom she
had several children, was surprised by a visit from
her first husband, who was thought to have been
dead for many years. His manner was itad, par
ticularly toward the oldest child, which belonged to
him. After a pleasant chat he left, promising to call
the next day.. That evening a gun or pistol was
fired, the ball from whith entered the %el/Wow where
the lady was sitting, and struck the opposite wall.
Suspicion rested upon the truant husband, who, on
visiting the house the next day with presents for his
child, was arrested and taken before the Mayor.
There being no evidence against him, he was re
leased on that charge, but, proving to be a deserter
from the 4th New Jersey Regimeut, was handed
over to the provost marshal of this city.

11 COWITIDTMG AFFAIR.—Quite an excite
ment was created in the neighborhood of Front and
Thompson streets a few days since, in consequence
of a cowhidlng affair takingplace, in which a married
man and a single lady were the principal actors. It
seems that this married individual became enamored
of the single young lady, and was in the 'habit of
calling upon her very• often. He represented himself
as a widower, but was soon found out, his wile
sought, and the whole story told her by the young
lady whom he had endeavored to dupe. Out of re
venge the'husband slandered the character of the
young lady, who procured a good cowhide and laid
in wait for the object of her hate. An opportunity
affording, she availed herself of it, and beat her
slanderer most unmercifully, since which time he
has troubled her not.
311x.rimtv.—The 154th Regiment P. V.,
under command of Col. B. 0. Brooker, is now en
camped on Ridge avenue, directly opposite the pas
senilr railway depot. This regiment offers induce
ments to volunteers for nine months' service. The
Citizens' Bounty Fund Committee will pay to each
recruit twenty dollars as soon as the company to
which he attaches himself is mustered into ser
vice, independent of pay, 'clothing, rations, and
bounties from the United• States. The lylth Regi
ment, (Philadelphia City Guard,) Col. William
Gray, is encamped on Indian Queen lane, German
town. This is a crack organization, and the induce
ments to enter the ranks are great.
Tar. PROCEEDS.—By a fair held recently
et the corner of Moyernensing avenue and Carpenter
street,, by four young girls—Miss Maria Peters,
Lucinda Rogers, Fanny Lajas, and Georgian=
Johnson—the sum of $l6 was realized, whiell WAS
handed over to the hospital at Broad and Prime
streets.
rtrEETIS. ti OF THE TEN-ridkrE AND bIfEET
-1 Jvcr, WonaEus.—/t meeting of the tin-plate and
sheet-iron porkers was held on :Saturday night
LW. at' eight o'r lad:, in the Franklin Hall. One
hundred journeymen being present, the meeting was
called to order by the president. The tninutesof
the mei ions meeting were read and adopted. The
committee on preamble and resolutions reported the
following :
WherrilY, it is our firm belief that the minority
should be ruled by the majority, the few by the
many ; and whereas, iu the present condition of so
ciety, the dare re's erse of this proposition is in
many instance; the einie ; and whereas, : under no
circumatanees has the truth of this assertion heibrite
more apparent than in the history of the trade to
which we beforq, where the workmen have oVer
been atbject to the whims and caprices of their ens
ployersv who hanehithertopossessed the. power to
pay to the workmenjust such prices.or wages.as the
plenitude or scarcity of labor, or their °urn:conve
nience, enabled them to bargain for; or, imother
words, the emplo.lers, being the few, have literally
been enabled, by the power of capital, to suiethe
workmen, who are the many, which is in direct con
tradiction to the principles of our belief, as set forth
in the beginning of this pteamble ; and whereas} the
spirit of unity has not hitherto been sufficiently ma
nifested in the condract of the journeymen of our
trade, wheowili, we hope and believe, lay as/rib:ail
petty jealousies, and east into the common lot the
fell weight of their united Influence for the feather
ence of the.principles•herein set forth : Thereforebe it
Resolved,. That we, the journeymen lin-plate and
sheel-iron-morkersof Philudelullin, make a determined
effort to Organize ourselves into a society, the ob
jects of which shall be the promotion of our mutual
interests, the advancement of our moral, intel
lectual, and social condition, and the giving:. of
weight and influence to our acts, as well as:the
forming of a. nucleus around which we can rally;; for
the attainment of any desirable object.
The preamble add resolution committee also,re
ported a constitutiOn, which was adopted by-sec
tions, several amendments being added. Two
other committees. also made reports, whiCh wore
adopted: A committee was appointed to draw up a
list of s prices, to be submitted to the future action

SUICIDE OF A SOLDIER.—A soldier, named
Charles Parker, committed suicide yesterday, by
jumping from the Penrose Ferry - bridge , into the
Schuylkill. His body was not recovered. For seve
ral days past he lodged at the Penrose' Ferry Hotel,
and said that he had been dis Charged from his regi
ment because of sickness, or from one of the hospi
tals because of his recovery. From his actions and
conversation it was supposed that he was insane,
and they he intended to drown himself. He was
watched pretty closely. Yesterday he was seen
walking across the bridge very• leisurely, and when
he reached -about the centre he stopped kir a mo
ment, and then suddenly sprang into the river. His
cap floated and was recovered. A soldleescoat was
found upon the bridge. Efforts' were made to and
the body, but were abandoned after several hours'
labor in vain.

Rev. Dr. Plumer, who has so recently accepted a
call to the pulpit lately occupied by the Rev. Dr.
Wadsworth, Arch street, above Tenth, - preaches to
very large and attentive congregations. The assem
bly yesterday morning was numerous and devout.
The sermon was at once plain and impressive, and
the delfrery good, with respect to both voice and
gesture. The personal appearance of Dr. Muter is
singularly noticeable, his very handsome white flow
ing beard giving him the faithful semblance of a
patriarchal pastor.
LATINCTI OF A FERRY-BOAT.—The stealu
ferry-boat Mary, belonging to the Camden and Phi
ladelphia Ferry Company, has been rebuilt, under

of one of the Market-street cars, was asked for his
fare by 'kit , conductor.- Re had no money, and was
about being roughly ejected, when a noble little boy
who was in the car stepped up and paid the fare.
Such an act deserves to be mentioned. This was a
just rebuke to the ungentlemanly conductor, who, in
a case like this, might have supplied the moneyfrom
his own pocket.

THE POLICE.
PROBABLE 1101fICIDE
Yesterday morning, Messrs. Carlin and Hendee ,
derson, of the detective pollee, arrested a man named
James Devine, on the charge of shooting a Scotch ,
man, named AlcCaulley, who arrived in Philadelphia
a short time since. The affair for which the pri
soner was arrested occurred on Friday night, at the
dance-house of Arthur Henry, on Water street, be
low Callowhill. The main facts are these: The
Provost guard entered the place for the purpose of
arresting deserters, or soldiers who had' no passes.
As they entered, PacCaulley and a companion
stepped up to the bar, to obtain something to drink,
after which they started to go out. At the same.
moment, Devine, with a pistol in his hand, backed
himself against The front door, and said no one
should go out without permission of the guard.
MeCaulley and friend insisted on going out, and
denied the right of anybody to stop them. Devine
then fired the pistol, the contents of which taking
clibet in the abdomen of fileCaulley.
The injured man was considered mortally wound
ed. He was finally taken to the Pennsylvania Hos-
pital. The occurrence was kept strictly private by .
the police, in order to facilitate them in arresting
the guilty party. They succceeded, and took the
prisoner to the Central Station. It seems the pollee
had some ditlicutty in taking Devine into custody.
An officer contended that the whole affair was pure
ly military, and that the police had no right to inter
fere. An appeal was made to Gen. Blontgomery,
who at once said the police officers had the right to
make the arrest, as the civil laW Is above the mili
tary in Philadelphia. We further learn that Devine
resided in the western part of the city, and enlisted
in Col. Baker's California regiment. He was taken
prisoner at Ball's Bluff, but had not yet been ex
changed. He merely volunteered to go out with the
provost guard on Friday night, the sergeant com
manding at the barracks (old Pennsylvania Bank
building) not objecting. He took the pistol of the
sergeant with him, and finally used it as above
stated.
DR. J. U. NIDVTO'N
• On Friday afternoon a case of more than usual
interest came up before Recorder Enue, in which
Dr. J. R.:Newton was charged with haVing com
mitted .an assault and battery upon a little girl
named Eliza Jane, daughter of Henry Bergen, re
sidineon -..Shippen street above Fourth. It seems
the unfoftunate child had fallen sometime since,
from the effects of which she has never fully re
covered. The fattier hearing bow the blind were re
stored to sight, the lame made to walk, by the
manipulations of this wonderful practitsoner,
conveyed his child -to him. At the hearing
before the Recorder, the father -testified that on
Wednesday, the 28th of last month, he took hie
daughter), who is only three years old, to Dr. New
ton. She, was suffering from the' swelling of the
knee caused by fall. The doctor examined the
knee, and every, time he touched it, the child coin

Supreme Court at Nisi Pries--In Equity . —
Justice Read:
VOCE. HAVEN GAS AND WAVER COMPAISTY--.A.M.
PLICATION FOR APPOINTMENITOF A .B,FICEIVKR.
Markey vs. The Lock Haven Gas.-and Water Company.
This was an application on the part of complainant,
trustee wider a mortgage alleged to have been exe
cuted by the company to secure the payment of cer
tain bonds alleged to have been issued by it for the
appointment of a receiver. The bill and affidavits
set out the incorporation of the company, the execu
tion of this mortgage, the issue of the bonds there
under,. and that since July, 180 f, tie interest has been
paid, and since July, 1861, when it became due-, no
part of the principal debt has been cancelled; that
the company has been deriving a la"rge revenue from
the sale of gas to the citizens of Lock. Haven, Dow
of which has been applied to the payment of either
principal or interest, and That it is insolvent, and,
unless a receiver is appointed, creditors will oullbr
loss. It also prays that am account of the incoumof
the company may be taken, that the property, con
sisting' of gas works, machinery, &c.., mentioned in
the mortgage, shall be sold, and a receiver appointed.
No answer has been tiled to the bill of complaint,
the present application being made before that could
be done, but the affidavit of the secretary of the
company, In'opposition to the averments of the bill,
was presented and rendthiamorning. It sets out that
the complainant has stied out a am. fa. on the mort
gage in the Court of CoramonPleas ofClinton county,
which is now pending; that an affidavit of - defence
has been ffied In that case,_ setting fortlithat the
'Mortgage referred to in the bill was executed by un
authorized parties and not by/ defendants, And no
such bonds as are'therein described were ever issued
by defendants. That the alleged mortgage:WA bonds
are signed D. •K. Jackman, president ; C. a.
Mayer; treasurer ; a n d the mortgage is aoknow
ledged by them as "their act and deed." That at the
time they executed these papers they were not the
owners of, a single share of stock, having previously
assigned all they held to Berkenbine & Blears, who,
at the date of the mortgage,lwere the exclusive own
ers of the whole stook, and, at this time, no election
for:officers had been held by the stockholders. That
by the terms of the charter of the company it was
authorized, " if necessity required" to borrow any
sum of money, not exceeding $lO,OOO, to be applied
to the prosecution of the works of the company, and
to pledge their property and franchises as security
for the same ; but that, at the time of the execution
.of this alleged mortgage, no such necessity existed.
That no money was ever borrowed or received by
the company as consideration for this mortgage, but
it was executed by Jackson & Mayer for the purpose
of being given to Berkenbine & Mears, upon their
returning to the treasurer $lO,OOO of the stock of the
company, which was to cancel. That the business
has been carried on in a careful and economical man
ner, the property is in reasonably good repair, and
the income has been applied to the current expenses
in manufacturing gas, and in supplying the same to
the, citizens of Lock Haven • and that the appoint
ment of a receiver would be ruinous to the interests
of the company.
Counsel for the company stated that he had no
affidavit denying the insolvency of the company, be
cause that was not alleged in the bill, and he was
not aware of its being in tee affidavit, but that affi
davits could be exhibited to the court showing it to
be in a solvent condition.
_ .
Justice Read said that the affidavits presented
very contradictory facts, and that the acknowledg
ment of the mortgage walka very singular one. Re
would prefer postponing the hearing until Saturday
next, at which time the original papers colild he pro
duced. The case then went over. 0. W. Davis,
Esq., appeared for complainant, and Alfred, S. Letch
worth, Esq., for defendant,
COMMOII Pleas -- Jndges Thompson and
THE SHERIFF'S CASE AGAIN-APPLICATION FOR
'WRIT OF MANDAMUS AGAINST THE CITY FOE
On Saturday morning, before the judges of. the
Common Pleas, Tames E. Gowen, Esq., made an
application for a writ of mandamus to be directed to
the City Treasurer, requiring him to pay the bill of
costs filed in the Gourt of Quarter Sessions, in the
late contested election ease. Mr. Gowen stated that
at the termination of that case the court entered a
decree, drawn up by the counsel of Mr. Thompson,
providing, among other things, that the county
should pay the costs of the proceeding, and this ap
plication was made not on behalf of Mr. Ewing, but
on behalf and at the request of parties !interested in
recovering their fees for attendance as witnesses ,•
that he had notified the City Solicitor of the present
application, and had requested him to have the bill
taxed.
Messrs. Charles E. Lex and David Sellers, on be
half of the city, opposed the motion, contending that
they should hare been heard on behalf of the city be
fore the decree-had been entered, and that if the pre
sent application was to be pushed they would move
to open the decree. They further argued that the act
of Assembly only contemplated the payment of the
costs of a successful contestant, and not the costs of
a respondent who had been in the possesslop•of an
office which the decree of the court dechlM,he was
not entitled to.
In reply, Mr. Gowen urged that the county was not
a party to that proceeding, and that the decree which
had been entered was a proper one, and the only
one which under the law, the court could have en
tered
.; that the City Solicitor might with equal propriey apply in the crihiinal court whenever judg
ment that the county should pay the costs was there
rendered, to open the judgment and be heard ; that
it, was proper that the bill should be taxed, and to
that extent it was the City aolleitor's duty to inter
vene. He further "said thrit in a recent case of con
tested election in the Common Pleas, a heavy bill of
costs had been paid without objection ; that the
law allowed the payment of both parties' costs in a
contested election case ; that there was no case on
record where a respondent wee made to pay the costs
of a contest to determine his right to an office, and
that as it had always been the rule of the court to al
low them, as of course he could not see any reason
for making this an exceptional case.
Judge Allison said that if the court had hitherto
been doing wrong it was no reason why they should
continue it.
' Judge Thompson said this contested election case
had occupied over a year, and yet counsel expected
the court to dispose of this matter in live minutes.
He had never known of a decree for .payment of
costs being made without notice to the City Solici
tor. The present bill would be taken into considera
tion, but they would not order its payment without
ample discussion of its items.
Some further discussion ensued, but the applica
tion ended in a most mysterious manner, and with
out our being able to diicover exactly how or what
became of it.
The bill filed is for fees of over a thousand wit
nesses, the cost and service of ninety-four subpoenas,
and seventy-nine attachments, by constables, deputy
sheritfis, and others, and foots up to the sum of
$3 727.65.
The act of Assembly pro/ides as follows in refer
ence to costs : "Byery perNn. who shall be subpce
need and attend or be examined at such hearing,
shall he entitled to receive the same daily pay and
mileage as are by lawallowed to witnesses attending
such court in other cases, which shall be paid out o
the treasury of the proper township or county, as
the case may be. If the judges of such court, or a
majority of them, shall certify that such complaint
was without probable cause, the petioners and
every of them, shall be liable for the costa bf such
hearing.
"3. In case of contested election' of county offi
cers the court shall determine who shalt:pay the
costs, but it the complaint shall be made without
probable cause the petitioner shall pay the costs,"

"fir - EALING POWERS OF ELECTRI
CITY DEMONSTRATED ON OVER FOUR THOU
SAND INVALIDS, AT IMO WALNUT STREET, PRI
LADELPIIIA.
The object of the following certificates is to show that
cures at MO WALNUT Street are permanent and re
liable. The first care was performed nearly three years
ago, the second was performed nearly two years ago, the
third about one year, and hundreds more of like cases
might be shown.
READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY.
About twelve months ago I had a severe attack of
Diabetes, attended with other difficulties too numerous
to mention. My desire for drink was constant, and al
though I drank gallons per day, my thirst was never
allayed; I was only able to sleep at short intervals,
which seemed like a trance. The mucous surface of my
mouth and throat had become so parched and feverish.
that I was in constant misery. I was also suffering
from all the horrors of Dyspepsia, loon of appetite, Nan- -
sea, and frequent and severe attacks of vomiting; and so
Prostrated was my general system, that .1 was scarcely
able to move about I had availed myself of the science
and skill of dietingniahed medical men, both of the Allo-
Peale and Hommopathic school, and exhausted their
catalogue of remedies, but found only temporary relief.
In this condition, when every ray of hope seemed para
lysed, I heard of the discovery of Professor Bolles in the
use of Electricity, and the wonders he was performing in
curing disease, and plated myself under his treatment;
and, to the astonishment of myself and friends, in two
operations my Diabetes was controlled, and other diffi
culties soon disappeared ; my appetite has returned, sleep
undisturbed, and, in fact, I feel like one made anew.
I would further state that I have seen other remark
able cures performed by Prof. Bolles, and would advise
the diseased to cell at Ma Walnut street, and be restored
to health. I shall be glad to give any one information
calling on me. THOMAS lIARROP
Rose Mill, West Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, May Ist,
Read the following from a preacher of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, IVo. Int Helmuth street, Pleladel-
PhM:
In attempting a definition of my disease, I can only
give some of the many symptoms which, taken altoge
ther, were the most horrid ; and even medical men did
not know my disease from pathological symptoms. How
ever, Professor C. H. Bolles, by Whom I was cured, !h
-eated my disease in the pelvic viscera. in five minutes
after I entered his office, and offered to warrant a perfect
cure in eight alications. And I frankly admit that in
eight applicati ons of Electricity, administered by Pro
fessor Hottest, 1220 Walnut street, Philadelphia, I am
Perfectly cured ; and to me this is most astonishing, for
had exhausted thocatalogne of old-school remedies, and
grew worse all the time.
J. had long believed that in Electricity resided a potent
agent for the care of disease, If a right application could
be made; and now I can comprehend, from its powerful
effects on me. for aspeedy cnre„although no shocks were
given. All was pleasant, and accomplished as if by
magic.
I will give most of my symptoms, for the benefit of
suffering humanity. I had dysPepsia, had maresmus, or
wasting of the tissues of the whole body; at times a
difficulty of breathing, some palpitation of the hearts
much bronchitis, trembling of the limbs after exercise,
aversion to business and company; at times gloomy, ina
bility to collect my thoughts vigorously on any subject,
a lma of memory, pain in various parts of the body; stif
fened much from lumbago, deranged secretions of the
kidneys and other glands of the system, constant drag
ging pains in the lumbar region, and severe nervous dies

no confusion, no .natter o fd on in his treatment. He
proceeds on fixed prin;tPles, an acetqSllng to fixed laws,
which seem to me infallail.e and harmoffions. He war
rants, by special contract, the most obstinate, chronic
and acute exam, and charger nothing, if , he fails. I ad
vise all of the disftsed to try his treatment.

ANOTHER CURE OF PARALYSIS OF THE LOWER
LIMBS (Paraplegia) AND APOPLEXY COMRINEtO.
Read the following:
PIIITaDELPRIA, March Si, IRS.
PROFESSOR POLLEE, ./MO Walnut street; The remiwkas
ble cure which I have derived from your method of app--
plying Electricity-compels me to thus acknowledgelhe'
great obligations I am under to you for snatching mess
it were, from Immediate death. About two years age;
while a resident of Cincinnati, Ohio, I was visited with'
an attack of paralysis of the lower extremities, which'
rendered me almost entirely unable to stand upon my
limbs. I employed some of the most celebrated physi
cians to be found in that section, but received no appa
rent benefit, and after a lapse of about eighteen months
was taken with a spasm, which one of my physicians
pronounced a fit of apoplexy. Two weeks elapsed from
that time before I became the least conscious of anything
that bad tranepired, nor could I concentrate my mind or
converse upon any subject without becoming very vi
sionary and excited, until I placed myself under your
'tamable treatment. After my arrival in Philadelphia
my attention wad called to your treatment by a pamphlet
banded me by my father, which contained the names of
some gentlemen whom ',had been formerly acquainted
with, and 'whose statements I could rely upon. / imme
diately made up my mind to places myself under your
treatment. I have now been the recipient of four treat
meats, and I now feel perfectly satisfied that I am re
stored to a sound condition, and thefore feel it my duty
to grateinify acknowledge the benefits which I have re
ceived Mionith your treatment.
Very respectfully yours, dm
WILLIAM H. SHAIN,
Publisher of the. Yattonal .3fferdiant, office - IG3 South

N. B.—lt will be well for the diseased to recollect that
Prof. B. has given a word of caution in his pamphlet to
nerd thein against trusting their health in the hands of
those in this city claiming to treat diseases according to
his discovery This caution may seem severe on those
using Electricity at hazard, but it is the severity of truth,
and designed for the good of humanity. See advertise

A YER'S CATHARTIC PILLS. TI3E
-sa- sciences of Chemistry and Medicine have been taxed
their utmost to produce We best, moat perfect purgative
which is known to man. Innnmerableproofs are shown
that these PILLS have virtues which surpase in excel
lence the ordinary . Medicinee, and that they win unpre
eedentedly upon the esteemed of all men. They are sate
and pleasant to take, but poWerful to ewe. Their pene
trating properties stimulate the vital activities of the
body, remove the obstructions of its organs, purify the
blood, and expel disease. They purge out the foul hu
meri' which breed and 'grow distemper, stimulate sing
gish or disordered organs into their natural action, and
impart healthy tone with strength to the whole system.
Not only do they mire the every-day complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous diseases that
have bellied the best of human skill. While they pro
duce powerful edecta, they are at the same time in
dimi
nished doses, the safest and best physic that can be em
ployed for children. Being sugar-coated, they are pleas
sant to take.; and being purely vegetable, are free from
any risk of harm. Cares have been made which surpass
belief, were they not substantiated by men of each
exalted position and character as to forbid the suspicion
of untruth. Many eminent clergymen and physicians
have lent their names to certify to the public the reliabi
lity of our remedies, while others have sent me the /In
surance of their conviction that our Preparations contd.,
bate immensely to the relief of my }Meted, suffering
fellow-men.
The Agent below named in pleased to furnish gratis
our American Almanac, containing directions for the
nasand certificates of their sures, of the following com
plaints:
Costiveness, Bilious Complaints, Rheumatism, Drof.
Heartburn, Headache, arising from a foul:stomach. -
sea, Indigestion, Morbid Inaction of the Bowels and in
arising therefrom, Flatulency. Lose of Aptctite, all Dis
eases which require an evatuant medicine. They also,
by purifying the blood and stimulating the system, cure
many complaints which it would not be supposed they
contd reach, such as Deafness, Partial Blindness, Nen
raigia and Nervous Irritability, Derangements of the
Liver and Kidneys, Gout, and other kindred complaints
arising from a low state of the body or obstruction of its
functions.
Do not be put off by unprincipled dealers with some
other pill they make mom profit on. Ask for AYER'S
PILLS, and take nothing. else. No other they can eye
you comparvg with this in its intrinsic value or carative
powers. The sick want the best aid there is for them,
and they should have it. •
