PENNSYLVAAIA.
. B111:Tat Monnsit.—We learn from the Berwick
Gazelle that on last Friday, a colored mai by the
name of Thomas Stookey, was brutally murdered
by a man by the name of Samuel Iddings, at Pine
Grove Hotel, in Columbia county. 'lt appears that
Stookey was out on horseback in search of a dog of
his which had strayed away, a nd stopped at this hotel
to inquire if they had seen him. Idding,a, who was
intoxicated, had cleared the house of its Inmates,
by threatening their lives, he having a loaded re
volver in hie hand. As Stookey rode up he went
out and met him and caught his horse by the bridle,
and demanded him to dismount; threatening to shoot
him if he disobeyed. On remonstrating with him
and pleading to be left alone, to pursue his journey,
he attempted to move on, when Iddings discharged
the contente of his pistol, which passed throughfhis
stomach and lodged in his back, killing him almost
instantly.
A MysTEnv.—Mr. Peter Van Devander, of Peters'.
burg, Huntingdon county, Pa., in company with one
or two others started to hunt•dcer on Thursday,
January 1, in Ic Diamond Valley," in the neighbor
hood of Barre Forge, and soon after reaching the
hunting ground the peril , separated with the under
standing that they would meet at some given point
in the evening. The others were there at the. ap
pointed time, and Mr. Van Devander not coming,
his comrades started home, and upon their arrival
found that he had not reached there. Not arriving
that night, search was made for him, but without success, until Sunday last, when his lifeless body was
found in the woods with a bull - et-hole in the head.
Bis gun was still loaded when- found, leaving no
other conclusion to be arriyed.at than that ho was
foully dealt with. The deceased leaves a wife and
several children. . .
A Lanni: SELL.—The Williamsport Gazelle says
that for sometime past an insane-man, named Shiel,
has been staying about IVilliamtport, His peculiar
hallucination is that ho owns everything, and since
his sojourn here he has sold at public auction, per
emptorily and without reservation, the properties of
Judge Maynard, Judge Armstrong, P. U. Campbell,
Esq., all the railroad buildings, the West Branch .
Bank, and the United States Hotel, Parke's Hotel,'
one half of the borough of Muncy, fee., &c.
DARIIIG' HIOHWAY ROBRICRY.OII . Thursday
morning last, as David L. Smith, mail carrier from
Pittsburg to' ndependende was on his way with the
mail, about half way up 'Saw-Mill Hill, on Wash
ington Pike, before daybreak, two scoundrels sprang
• forward and pulled him off his horse. One of them
placed his knee on Smith's neck while the •other
drew a knife and cut through his overcoat and dress
. coat pockets, extricating his pocket-book, containing
flftv-two dollars. They then fled towards Temper
anceville.
ATTEMPT TO COMMIT MIIRDER.-011 last Wed
nesday evening as Mr. Joseph McNeil, of Indi
ana, was passing along one of the streets of that bo
_rough, he was assaulted by two ruffians armed with
knives, one of whom struck at his breast and cut
through the lappel of his coat when Mr. MoN. knook
ed him down ; the other made a blow at his head but
fortunately •the knife passed through his hat. Mc-
Neil then took to his heels and escaped from the
resettle.
CAMP CIIIITIN.—This famous camp of instruction,
for a long time the central rallying point of out own
and the militia of other States, contains at present
scarcely more than one respectable•sized company.
The deserted Appearance of the place contrasts
strongly with its former scenes of bustling activity
and warlike preparation. Perhaps from no similar
camp in the country have there gone forth to the
battle-fleld such numbers of our countrymen.
Ax Aricis:wrßier.m.—S. B. Boyer, Esq., of Har
risburg, came into possession of a German Bible
last week, published at Frankforton-the.Main, by
Christian Egenolff, on the first day of Maroh, 1634.
Mr. Boyer purchased this ancient and valuable relic
of 3. C. Morin, below Ohambersburg, which - he first
saw while there on duty as one of the Pennsylvania
militia; in September last. Mr. Moon had pur
chased it years ago for six cents at a public vendue.
ACCIDMITALLY Snov.—Dwight Smith, a son of
William Smith, of Conewango township, a lad
about'l6 years of age, while attempting to remove
a loaded alatobgun from a skiff, on Thursday last, ac
cidentally caught the hammer upon the edge of the
skiff, and. discharged the gun. The entire load, con
sisting of a heavy charge of buckshot; entered his
left aide, and lodged near the backbone. At latest
accounts there was some hope.;of his recovering.
ATTEMPTED SIIIOMB.—We learn that Spencer
Johnson, Esq., a respectable citizen of Farmington
township, while in a fit of derangement, on Monday
last, atte mptedi to take his own life by cutting his
throat. He succeeded in inflicting a terrible wound,
but at last accounts it was thought he would sur
vive. 11l health is assigned as the superinducing
cause of„his derangement.
FARR NEAR MILFORD.— , Last week the Shocapie
Sabot House, together with a large farm barn, situ
ated about one and a half miles from that place,
were consumed by fire. The barn contained a large
quantity of hay and grain, and also two horses and
a,colf—all burned.
WHAT LANCASTER COUNTY PAYS TO THE STATE.
The report of the Auditor General shows that the
whole amount paid into the Treasury for the fiscal
year ending November 80, 1862, was 86,211,747.63, Of
this amount Lancaster contributed $163,663.38.
Arityruart WANNlNG.—Thewife of Rev. Dr. H. M.
Mason, of Easton, was burned to death last week,
baring set her,clothing on fire by attempting to 1111 a
lightedlamp with oil.
BURGLARIES.—The country tapers teem with ac
counts of burglaries, which seem to be committed
with the utmost recklessness and despatch.
Ratatasko.-31r. John B. Brandt, who was ar
rested for killing a deserter in Reading, has been re
leased.
oo.u..—The.coal- dealers of West.Cheeter, it is
Bald, have reduced the price of coal= , fifty cents per

MISCELLANEOUS.
. PEONAGE AND SLAVERY IN NEW ALEXI
CO.—The annual message of Governor Arny, of
New Mexico, shows that the Territory is out of
lebt, with a balance of sixteen hundred dollars
n the treasury. The Governor devotes a large
art of his message to the question of peonage,
commenting upon the territorial law, which makes
hired laborers on the farm responsible in their ser
vices for any advances of money or goods :to the
laborer. New Mexico has its slavery question in
the cases of same six hundred Indian captives, who
.age held as slaves. These are so held under an old
custom of the Mexicans. The Governor sees diffi
culties in emancipating them, or turning them loose,
but still advises that their owners be compensated
by the United States, and that the Indians be re
turned to friendly tribes,
when they belong to such
tribes, and when' not, be disposed•of as Congress in
its wisdom may think best.
COST OF WAR.—From 1683..t0 1816,- England
was for more than half the Wile—sixty-seven years
—engaged in war. The war of the Spanish succes
sion cost over $300,000,000 in eleven: years ; the
seven years' • war cost $560,000;000; our Revolu
tionary war cost England $650,000,000 ; and that of
the French Revolution $2,320,000. When at war
with Napoleon, from 1803 to 1816, • England raised
by taxes the enormous sum of $3.655,000,000, and by
loans the further sum of $1,940,000 -z-an average of
over $1,3t2,000 per It has been said that for
ninety days previoui to the battle of Waterloo; she
spent an average of $5;000,000 per day. The people
of these countres are still overburdened with taxes
—and the poor people have a slim chance to advance
in wealth or position..
TOBACCO.—A wagon-load of this staple attract
ed considerable attention in our streets yesterday.
it was raised by Mr. Samuel Smith, two and a half
miles west of this City: Mr. Smith cultivated four
acres, and the yield is upwards of 4,000 pounds. • He
Informs us that one hand could attend about four
acres.. The'product of an acre .is about $l5O, ren
dering the culture of tobacco more profitable than
almost, any other crop which can-be put in. The
quality of the tobacco was very fair, and Mr. C.
claims that he raised some which is very superior.
Sangamon county is peculiarly adapted to the
growth of this great staple, and farmers are beginning
to turn their. attention to its culture.—Spriao,field
(Ill.) Journal.
BELLS AT PISA.—A writer in Notes and Queries
Bays : On the top of the famous campanile at Pisa,
better known by the name of. "Hanging Tower,"
are five bells • on one of these. is the following in
scription, in . ' Lombardia capital letters, which has
been forwarded by a friend: "Lotterlngus Peptide
me fecit COilid Hospitularius Solvit, A. D. M. O. O.
LXII." There are some running ornaments, ro•
settes, be., about the bell, and " Ave Maria, G. P.,"
between two angels, followed by some other inscrip
tion my friend could not make out. If this date,
1262, be. correct, this must be the oldest bell in the
world, unless there are any Russian bells to contest
the palm of antiquity. .
A SHARP RASCAL.—A man named John Tyroe,
employed by Grover & Gardner, commission mer
chants of Baltimore, got cashed in Washington, the
other day, a draft for $46,000 belonging to his em
ployers, getting " greenbacks') for the whole amount,
and, then hurried to New York, where he converted
his paper into gold, and at once embarked for Eu
rope. It is thought he has swindled others out of
money by borrowing, &c., and that his delinquen
cies will not fall short of $'70,000.
IMPORTANT DEOISION.—That was a very
important decision of Judge Shipman, in the case of
Houck:null vs. Fox, to the effect that the represen
tation of a play, by The consent of the author, gives
no light to others to play it without his consent.
The author's right to his play, book, lecture, sermon,
or what not, is protected by common law, and by the
law of copyright, when published. Literary men
have been trying for years to obtain such ajudgment
as this at the hands of justice, but have never suc
ceeded till now.
VALUABLE INFORMATION.— The London
Weekly Dispatch, in a'recent- violent attack on the
United States says
hasthat it is notorious that no per
son of color a vote, even in the free States;
there is a reign of terror at the ballot-box ; there is
no career for any man independent of a faction and
electioneering trickery; and free persons of color
are prohibited from holding lands, or so much as
setting foot within Ohio, Illinois, and other New
England Stales.
VICTOR HUGO'S GOOD BISHOP. We learn
that the real bishop, whose good deeds are almost
literally narrated by the novelist, was Charles Fran
cis Melchior Bienvenu Mollie, Bishop of Digne,
who was born in 1753, and died in 1843. These figures
do not exactly correspond with Victor Hugo's, the
Bishop's birth having been moved backward thii ,
teen years, and his life shortened by eight years,
simply to suit the story. The good man lives anew
in the world after his death, and " being dead, yet
spestketh.ss
THE LAST ODDITY.—Among the last heard of
oddities attracted to Paris by various motives is said
to be a Russian prince of great wealth, his fortune
being estimated at the respectable figure of $650,000
a year. A Paris correspondent of a Canada paper
says he spends much of his time in travelling, and,
having a passion for wild beasts carries an exten
sive menagerie around with him. He ia fond of
" seeing the elephant," no doubt.
BAD SIDEWALKS.—The Supreme Court of
New York has affirmed a verdict of $l,OOO which a
blind lady had recovered against the city for a defect
in the sidewalk, by reason of which she claimed to
have received damage. The court holds that it is
the duty of the corporation to keep the sidewalks in
such repair that even the blind shall be protected
from injury by reason of defects therein.

THE MERCHANTS' FUND—ANNUAL MEET
nio.—The annual meeting of the Merchants , Fund
Society was held yesterday'afternoon, at theirrooui,
N. W. corner Seventh and Sansom streets. The
president, Mr. John M. Atwood, called the rneteing
to order. Mr. Thomas Robins acted as president,
and Wm. H. Bacon, Esq., acted as secretary.
The ninth annual report of the managers was read
by Mr. Atwood, giving , a very gratifying account of
the prospects of the society and its beneficent work
ings during the year.. The report is as follows : '
The continuance of the great national calamity
which in two previous years seemed to Justify the
omission of a more public observance of our anni
versary, has induced the managers to forego the
gratification on the present occasion. They trust,
however, that the time will come when the reunions
which heretofo and in crowded halls, have con
tributed so much re,
to deepen our interest in the object
of the association and to draw in closer,bonds the
merchants of Philadelphia, may be appropriately
resumed.
Amidst the. exciting events of the period, the
society has endeavored to fulfil the trust confided to
its charge: It has continued, through its executive
committee, to hold forth to the suffering merchant
its profferfi of assistance, and',has ministered to his
wants. curing the past year the committee have
made forty-six donations. Some of the beneficiaries
were vecy.aged; most of them had suffered silently,
and suffered long, and it was only after the failure
of every effint at self-support, and the disappoint
ment or every hope that they sought or accepted
the help which this institution gives. The annexed
extracts from some of their letters will exhibit a
specimen of the grateful emotions which the bene
factions of the society have excited in the hearts of
the beneficiaries.
It is gratifying to 'state, that while owing to the
present troubles the income from annual subscrip
tions has been lessened, we have still heen spared
the painful necessity of withholding assistance is
any proper case which has been' brought to the no
tice of the committee. Only len persons now re
ceive a stated allowance.
The number' of grants 'since the formation of the
society is three hundred 'and. forty-two. Although
the aggregate of these donations Is not far from
twenty thousand dollars, the pecuniary sum but
poorly expresses the amount of blessings conferred
upon our suffering 'brethren. It is not merely that
pressing wants have been supplied, and almost un
hoped-for comforts brought to many dwellings, but
the recipient has felt that he was again brought
'within the circle . of sympathies • from • which he
seemed forever cast out, and was not, as he had
feared, left like the wounded soldier on. the battle
field—uneared for, unheeded, forgotten.
It cannot, ought not to be overlooked, that the
charity contemplated by this society deals with pe
culiar circumstances in respect to those whom it
seeks to benefit. Many of them were men 'whose
morning and mid-day life were full of promise of
security, and gave no presage of future destitution.
From their position and success in life they had sup
posed it their mission to succor the needy,-not to
share in this penury ; and now, when age, poverty,
and sickness have come upon them, and the
grave has closed over those whose tried friend
ship would have been ready with its aid, and they
are left confessedly helpless and dependent, their
condition is still peculiar. We cast no reproach upon
the ordinary municipal arrangements for the relief
of thepoor when we- say that they do not meet the
case of these sufferers—the supply of their necessi
ties through such a channel would be at a cost of
mental suffering, which' the physical relief would not
compensate.
The receipts of the year from all sources, as shown
by the annexed statement of the treaaurer, have
been $4,678.43, and the expenditures $2,182.90, leav
ing a present balance of $2,730.35, of which $2,500
belongs to the permanent fund.
Through the kindness of Messrs. M. L. Dawson,
Wm. Biddle, and Thomas Williamson, executors,
there has been appropriated froMthe bequest of the
late Josiah Dawson, the liberal sum of five thousand
dollars as a donation to.our society. This.. donation
they have made from the ."conviction of the great
good which the merchants' fund was capable ofw
complishing.” This amount will be..separately,in
vested in the name.of the "Josiah Dawson Fund,"
and its income be separately appropriated, thus per
petuating on our records the name of the benevolent
gentleman to - whose thoughtful provision for his
suffering fellow-beings many of the most important
charitieit of our city are so largely indebted.
In consequence of continued ill-health William 0.
Ludwig, Esq., has felt himself obliged to resign the
office of treasurer, which he has held from the forma
tion of the Society. The association is deeply in
debted to this gentleman for his able and faithful
services in this work of beneficence, and the neces
sity of his resignation is greatly regretted by the
Board.
Two of the beneficiaries have deceased during the
past year. One of these, for a long period an in
valid, had formerly held a highly important public
office, the'duties of which he discharged, we believe,
without reproach. The aid rendered to himby this
society was auxiliary to that of a daughter, by whose
filial piety her aged father waif/ . chiefly supported,
not without much labor and self-denial. The name
of the other gentleman, whose. life was protracted
beyond fourscore, would recall to the memory of
our older merchants one formerly engaged in exten
sive commercial business. His upright and blame
. leas conduct, in the days of his prosperity and in
the reverses - which befel him thrbugh misplaced con
fidence in others at a period of general commercial
distress, won for him a degree of respect not often
' enjoyed, and never more justly earned. That the
last years of the life of this estimable man were not
embittered by want or the painful apprehension of
t, was, owing to the regular provision for his sup
port frm the funds of this institution.
In view of these and similar illustrations, which
re daily presented in the progressive history of this
lan of benevolence, can it be doubted that there
ihould cluster around the Merchants' Fund the
warm regards of the merchants of Philadelphia,
which should insure its greater ability and more
certain permanence? If our:profession be one of
acknowledged - usefulness—if the general integrity
which characterized it has secured, a well-attested
confidence at home, and reflected honor on the repu
tation of our city abroad—if it is exceeded by no
other in the munificence of its private charities and
generous support of our public institutions of be
nevolence—it at the call of our country, and in
defence of her Constitution and laws, it has freely
expended its blood and treasure, there maybe surely
claimed for its own members in destitution and
sorrow a peculiar sympathy, and that it 'should - so
minister relief as.to inflict no wound upon.,the suf
ferer, nor exact any hiimiliation as the price of Its
gifts. To do this in the best way, and to assist the
worthy and deserving even as 'a brother helps a
brother in his need, the Merchants' Fund was in
stituted, and there has come upon it the "blessing
of " many " who were ready to perish."
The following extract of a note from Horace Bla
ney was read in connection with the report:
"In the course of an active professional life, I had
constant opportunities to observe how - vastly the
cases of good faith among merchants and men of
business -in this city outnumbered the cases of an
opposite description, where at the same time there
was neither formal security nor competent proof to
insure fidelity. I should say, the propOrtion was
greater than a thousand to one."
The treasurer's report showed receipts amounting
to $4,913.25, and expenditures to $2,182.90. The sum
of $1,975 was expended for beneficiaries, leaving a
balance of $2,730.35.

THE MUNICIPAL SWORD TO THE LATE
GEN. 0. F. SMITH.-it will be remembered that,
shortly after the downfall of Fort Donelsom, the
City Councils of Philadelphia, by a unanimous rem).
lution, voted to present to the hero of that victory,
Major. General Chas. F. Smith, a handsome sword,
in testimony•of their appreciation of his brave and
gallant condifct. Gen. Smith being a Philadelphian,
was the more entitled to the substantial recognition
of our municipal authorities. The sword was at
once ordered to be manufactured, but, before it reach
ed completion, he for whom it was intended, ' died
from the wounds received at Donelson. The testi
monial, however, was presented, privately, on Mon
day evening to the family of the lamented soldier by
Mayor Henry, assisted by Theodore Cuyler, Esq.,.
president of Select Council.
The Mayor, in presenting ,the sword, delivered a
neat and graceful address, referring in terms of
the warmest eulogy to the merits and bravery °Mlle
gallant hero. It was received by Mrs. Smith in
simple and touching language, which bore ample
testimony tot he worth of her distinguished husband.
The sword itself is a finished piece of workmanship,
the hilt blazing with diamonds and enriched with
amethysts, pearls, and the most exquisite enamel.
The scabbard bears on one side the National and
-Irreprestarramblrorttert-antral-,-ftaln.firtffirdespe
rate charge which has rendered his name immortal.
The following inscription, penned by Mr. Henry, is
engraved on a beautifully enamelled band :
The. City of Philadelphia, April 81h,1862, to Brig.
General Charles Ferguson Smith, in recognition of
his signal valor and success while upholding the
flag of his country and advancing it to the overthrow
of the rebellion at.the memorable capture of Fort

entitled " Swiss Reformers," and composed by .Rev.
Dr. Berzog, of.Erlangen, Germany, was read by the
translator,. Rev.. Dr.- H. Harbaugh; ofjorbanon,
Pennsylvania. In the course of the argument it was
remarked that the people of Zurich, on account.' of
their religious susceptibility , were disposed toward
carrying through the Reformation. Zuringle, beyond
all others, was fitted to advance the spread of the
Reformation. The Gospel was not, however, to be
helped on by the civil 'sword.' Ori the 13th October,
1631, he expiated for his error through the blood
thirsty vengeance'of the Catholia• Canton: Among
the French Reformers Calvin stood out by far , the
most prominently. Calvin was fitted to render ser
vice in the second period of the Reformation. 'He
was a powerful organizer of the Church. The
con
treat between Zuringle and Calvin was identical
with the contrast afforded between the strugglings
of a gifted and ambitious youth and the endeavors
of a self-possessed, well-balanced man. •
The reading of the essay occupied an hour, It
was followed by an extemporary address, in Ger
man, by Rev. Dr. J. S. Kessler, of Allentown, Penn
sylvania. The epeaker remarked that the Swiss,
like the Americans, are a free people. The
..Ro
formation in Switzerland had received its com
plexion from the constitutional courage and love of
liberty through which they had achieved their inde
pendence. This inherent spirit of reedom, however,
had not been kept within judicious limits. Luther
fought with one Pope ; _Zuringle ' grappled with
two—one the Pope of Rome, the other a false spirit
of liberty rife among the friends . of the Reformation.
The latter, as led by Luther, was -favored -with the
patronage of princely powers as led by Zuringle it
could boast no such suppor t; consequently unity
marked the German Reformation, division the Swiss.
'Diversity of view as well as of action impeded the
latter's progress. To-day, after centuries of influ
ence and of endeavor, the Swiss Reformed Church
was without a general central synod—the Protes
tant cantons of Switzerland were destitute of cen
trality in feeling and action. Switzerland's na
tional unity indeed binds its natural divisions into
one general confederation, and supersedes in some
degree . the . necessity for ecclesiastical -oneness.
Switzerland, through Bullinger, had furnished her
quota - toward the formation of the Heidelberg Gate
chasm. - •
• Rev. Dr. Bomberger presented the following reso
lutions, which were unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That a committee, consisting of one
member from each °lassie represented in this Con
vention, be appointed to prepare a list of the dele
gates present, arranged according to the several
classes and pastoral charges to which they respec
tively belong, in.the order 'of the statistical table of
the minutes of Synod.
Resolved, That each . pastor
,present be directed to
furnish'his name„'with the names of the delegatel
from his charge, to the member of the committee be
longing to hie classic. Lay delegates present ;with
out their pastor are requested to report their names
to the committee separately.
The subject which next occupied the attention of the
meeting, was the essay entitled "The Authors of the
Heidelberg Catechism," composed and delivered by
Professor Thos: 0. Porter, professor of Natural
Sciences in Franklin and Marshall College, Lan
caster, Pennsylvania. In this the history of Caspar
Olevianus and Zacharias Ursinas was delirieat-W in
faithful and glowing colors. It waaboth well writ
ten and well read. The sentences were full of mean
ing, and the description veryjudictious. After the
reading of the essay was finished, our attention was
called by Rev. Dr. E. V. Gerhart, president of the
Marshall and Franklin College, to the ter-centenary
edition of the Heidelberg Catechism. A critical edi
tion of this work is expected to be ready for delivery
by the first of May next. It.will probably Cost $2.50,
but not over $3. After the announcement was
made, Rev. Mr. J. S. Dumond, of Lancaster, Pa.,
made a few remarks in regard to the character of
the Heidelberg Catechism.
Rev. Dr. Schoff then stated that Rev. Dr. Ost erase,
of -Rotterdam, had been •requested to prepare an
essay on "The Heidelberg Catechism in the Nether
lands." 'A letter dated Leyden, Holland, December
27th, 1862 and which had just been received from
Rev. G. D. T. Schotel, explaining why Dr. Ostersee
could not accept the invitation, and accepting for
himself the task of preparing the desired essay, was
read.
. On- motion from , Iter. Dr. E. Heiner, it was or
dered to be placed on the records of the Convention.
A.translation of this letter was herewith added in
compliance with the action of the Convention. The
Convention then adjourned to meet at 3 o'clock.
AFTERNOON. SESSION
The exercises of the afternoon commenced with
singing and prayer. The opening prayer was de
livered by Rev. Mr. W. K. Bieber. The minutes of
the morning's meeting were then read. An essay,
entitled " Sketches of the History of the Heidelberg
Catechism in the Land of its Birth," composed by
Rev. Dr. Ullmann, and translated by Rev. Dr. Nevin,.
was then read by the latter gentleman. This essay
was followed by another, in regard to the same sub-,
sect, written by Dr. Thomas De Witt, of the Dutch
Reformed Church, New York, and delivered by Dr.
L. H. Steiner . . The following resolutions were pro
sented by Rev. Dr. Heiner, and unanimously adopted:
whereas, those eminent German divines, Rev. Drs.
Hundesliagen, Ebrard, Ullmann, and Herzog, have
kindly furnished this Convention with very able pa-.
pers, and most appropriate to the occasion of our.
Ter-centenary celebration, therefore:
Resolved, That this Convention has been highly,
gratified and pleased with the important and suita
ble essays prepared by these learned and distin
guished theologians, and which have been read be
fore this body. so numerously represented from all ,
parts of the German Reformed Church in the United
States.
Resolved, That our sincere and hearty thanks be
tendered to these highly respeoted and greatly be
loved brethren, for their moat valuable and deeply
interesting contributions, and that the president of
this Convention be requested to communicate to'
them the above action, and to make such further
.communications to them as he may deem moat ex
pedient and proper.
Rev. Dr. Bomberger, pastor of the Race-street
Church, in which the Convention holds its sessions,
made a few forcible remarks in regard to the first
es On s.
ay motion of Rev. Dr. Gerhart, one or more of the
essays already delivered in translations will be read
in the German language, at Rev. Mr: Gehr's
Church, Tenth street, above Franklin, upon Thurs
day evening. The meeting then adjourned to reas
semble this morning, in the same place, at 9 o'clock.

THE POLICE.
[Before Mr. Alderman Battler.]
Committed.
Thornas,Welsh was arraigned before the alderman
at the Central Station yesterday morning, on the
charge of stealing a Doi of gold, the facts of which
have already been published in The Press. He admitted
taking the treasure. There were no additional
points of interest developed at the hearing.. The
accused was committed in default of $3,000 bail.
Alleged Forgery of Election Certificates.
Still another election forgery in the Fifth ward
came to light yesterday, morning, before Alderman
Beitler. In this affair the public generally
.are not
so deeply interested as in the other election cases
now pending before judicial tribunals. The present
:forgery is confined to the Democratic family of the
Fifth precinct of the Fifth ward. An election was
held the various precincts of the city, by the
members of the Democratic party, on Monday eve
ning; to elect delegates to Conventions to assemble
Lv <s acre - ‘7ol.llretl-•
- tion to nominate a Governor. In the Fifth - Precinct
of the Fifth ward there was considefirble rivalry
among the contestants. The judge of this precinct
Was Michael Allen; the inspector, Francis P. She
lton.. It is averrethat the only delegates voted for
in this precinct were Messrs. W. O'Brien, Dennis
Mead, and Wilson Collins.
The delegates elected, or reported elected, assem
bled in convention yesterday morning, at which
Michael McGeoy was chosen presiding officer.
Among the credentials presented was one certifying
to the election of Hugh BroiVn as a delegate from
the Fifth precinct. This document purported to have
been signed by Michael Allen, judge, and F. P. She
"han, inspector. It was pronounced in the conven
tion as a forgery.
'Legal proceedings were instituted before Alder
man Beitler, charging Mr. Brown with having coin
:mined forgety.. The case was to have been investi
gated, yesterday afternoon, but it was postponed till
half.past three o'clock this afternoon. The parties,
• it seems, had not been able toobtain the certificate
from Mr. McGeoy, the president of the convention,
'Thus matters came to a dead lock. The parties in
'the office evinced anythine else than a feeling of
gentility towards each other. It is proper to state,
the friends of Mr. Brown say he received two.votes
to anybody else's one, and that his certifloath is no
forgery.
[Before Mr. Alderman Carter.)
Alleged Robbery. , •
Zames Ewing was arraigned before Alderman Car
ter, yesterday naorniq, on the charge of robbing the
money - box of an omnibus, at the corner of Twenty
third and , Lombard streets, on itionday night.. There•
is still a line of omnibuses .running through .Lom
bard street, and the stand is located as above stated.
The evidence in the case developed the fact that the
accused was observed in. the. act of helping himself
to the contents of the driver's box.. He was com
mitted to answer..

those who suffer from Strumous complain And that
one which will accomplish their care must prove of im
mense service to this large class of our afflicted fellow
citizens. How completely this compound will do it has
been proven by experiment on many of the Worst cases
to be found in the following com plaints : '
. SCROFULA AND SCROFULOUS COMPLAINTS, ERUPTIONS
AND ERUPTIVE DISEASES, ULCERS, PIMPLES, BLOTCHES,

FIRE, and indeed the whole class of complaints arising
from IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD. .
This compound will be found a great promoter of
health when taken in the spring to expel the foul hu
mors which fester in the blood at that season of the year.
By the timely expulsion of them many rankling disor
ders are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by the aid
of this remedy, spare themselves from the endurance of
foul eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the
system will strive to rid itself of corruptions. if not as
sisted to do this through the natural channels of the
'body by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitia
ted blood whenever you dud its impurities bursting
through the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores ; cleanse
it when you find it is obstructed and sluggish in the
veins ; cleanse it whenever it is foul, and your feelings
'will tell you when.. Even where no particular disorder
is felt, people enjoy better health, and live longer, for
cleansing the blood. - Keep the blood healthy, and all is
well ; but with the pabulum of life disordered, there can
be no lasting health. Sooner or later something must go
wrong, and the great machinery of life is disordered or
overthrown.
Miring late years the public have been misled by large
bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of ,Sarsa
parilla for one dollar. Most of these have been frauds
upon the sick, for they not only contain little, if , any,
Sarsaparilla, but often no curative properties whatever.
Hence, bitter and painful disappointment has followed
the use of the various extracts of Sarsaparilla which
flood the market, until the name itself Ls rustly'despisod,
and had become synonymous with imposition and cheat.
Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend to
supply such a remedy as shall rescue the namelrom the
load of obloquy which rests upon it. And we think we
have ground for belieVing it has virtues which are irre
sistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intended
to cure.

LADELPHIA.
The object of the following certificates is to show that
cures at = WALNUT Street are permanent and re
liable. The first care was performed nearly three years
ago, the second was performed nearly one year ago, the
third about one year, and hundreds more of like cases
might be shown.
READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY.
Aboutb 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,
weiich seemed like a trance.. The mucous surface of my
mouth and throat had become so parched and feverish.
I nat. I was in constant misery. I was also .813.08thig
from all the horrors of Dyspepsia, loss of appetite, Nan
sea, and frequent arid 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 distinguished medical men, both of the Allo
pathic and Homeopathic school, and exhausted their
catalogue of remedies, but found only temporary relief.
In - this condition, when every ray of hope seemed para
lyzed, I heard of the discovery of 'Professor Bolles in the
use of-Electricity, and the wonders he was performing in
curing disease, and placed myself under his -treatment ;
and, to theastonishment 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 bProf. Bolles, and would advise
the diseased to call at 1 ) Walnut street, and be restored•
to health. I shall -be glad to give any one information --
calling on me. • • - THOMAS HARROP;

Read the following from a preacher of the Methodist
Episcopal - Church, No. 1633 Helmuth street, Philadel
phia
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,lo
- my disease in the pelvic viscera, in five minutes
after I entered his office, and offered to warrant a perfect.
cure in eight applications. And I frankly admit that in
eight applications of Electricity, administered: by Pro
fessor Boma% 1220 Walnut street, Philadelphia, 1 am.
perfectly cured; and to me this is most astonishing, for I
had exhausted the catalogue of old-school remedies, and
grew worse all the time.
I had long believed that in Electricity resided. a potent
agent for the sure of disease, if a right application could
be made ; and now I can comprehend, from its powerfal
effects on me, for a speedy cure, although noehocks wore
• given. All was pleasant, and accomplished- as if by
magic.
- I will give most of my spit/toms, for the benefit of
suffering humanity. I had dyspepala, bad marasmus, or
wasting of the tissues of the whole body; at times a
difficulty of breathing, some palpitation of the heart,
much brenehitia, trembling of the limbs after exercise,
aversion tohusiness and company; at times gloomai..iaa
bility to collect ma thoughts vigorously, on any subject,
a low of memory, pain in various parts of the bodaeseaf
fered much frees lumbago, deranged secretions of the
kidneys and other glands of the system. constaritairag
ging pains in the lumbar region, and severe nervous diz
ziness.
I believe it la my duty, as a lover. of humanity,to re
commend this discovery of Professor HOLUM tolthe.
afflicted of all classes. There see,ms.to be uo.p;aesswork,
no con:Carden, no matter of doubt in his treatsrunat. He
proceeds on fixed principles, andiaccordingte-ltsed laws.
which seem to me infallible and. harmonious. He war
rants, by seecial contract, the most obstinate, chronic
and acute cases, and charges nothing, if he fails. I ad
vise all of the diseased to try his treatment-

ANOTHER CURE OF P.A.VIeLYSIS, Olf THE LOWER

Read the following : •
lermantatlwria, March 31,1862.
Peon:9Boa Bouns.l2io , Walkuistreet : The remarka
ble cure which I have derived, [rem your method of ap
plying Electricity compels me to thus acknowledge the
great oblf.gations I am under to you for snatching me, as
It were..f:rom immediate death. About two years age,
while a- resident of Cinoinnati, Ohio, I was visited with
an attaO a of paralysis of the lower extremities. which
renderfal me almost entirely unable to stand upon my
limb's.' I employed some of the most celebrated Wilms
cians!.o be found in that section, but received no also,
rent 11. ,eneflt, and after a lapse of about eighteen months
wsui, , ,aken with a spasm, which one of my physicians
.pron ounced a fit of apoplexy. Two weeks elapsed from
the, time before I became the least conscious of anything
th>•.t had transpired, nor could I concentrate my mind or
ow averse upon any subject without becoming .very vi-
Conary and, excited, until I placed myself under your
valuable treatment. After my arrival in Philadelphia
my attention was called to your treatment by a pamphlet
handed me by my father, which contained the names of
some gentlemen whom I had been formerly acquainted.
with, and whose statements I could rely upon. I imme
diately made up my mind to place myself under your
treatment. I have now been the recipient of four treat
ments. and I now feel perfectly satisfied that lam re
stored to a sound condition, and. thefore feel it my dutY•
to gratefully acknowledge the benefits which I have re.
calved through your treatment. -

I *T. B —lt will be well for the diseased to recollect that
Prat. B. has given a word of caution in his pamphlet to
guard them 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 /Lizard. but It is the severity of truth,
and designed for the good of humanity. See advertilw
