. , was confirmed by Rev. J. M. Steck, Sr.,
or of the Evangelical Lutheran Churc h ,.
i reensburg, and on the 21st , I communed
f r the first time. This important period of,
my life I shall ever remem ber with pleas
ure and gratitude to God, through whose
goodness it VMS a season 'bf unspeakable
and refreshing pleasure to me. • Oh, that
all ministers would take the time and care
which my. faithful pastor took to instruct
the y:oang." .At• an early age he devoted
his time to the study of theology under
Rev. J. Schnee, and completed it un
der Rev. J. M. Steck. He • preached
his; first= sermon , March . - 1-ith, 1819, being
somewhat under twenty, years of age, and

,
lea, north of Greensburg, Barren Run,
Swopes, St. .Tohns, Donegal, Ligonier and
Indian Creek, south and west of Greens

other, he served these congregations suc
cessfully anor faithfully until 1830, when he
0 resigned those north of G reensburg. In l£C7
Youngstown and St. Paula (Ridge) were
added to his charge. He preached his' rst
sermon in Weston in August,-1829, and in
1832 organized acongregatitaithere. He was
now serving _nine charges, preaching fre
quently three'and four times or: Sundays,
besides holding services during the week.
_Meanwhile (October 2d, 18. 0 4) he was

by the Synod at Canton, Ohio. He con
' tfnued to servo the nine congregations
_mentioned for - twenty-one years, except
`West Newton ' which he served eighteen

Greerarburg charge ' embracing four con
' gregations, and entered upon his duties
there in October of that year, removing to
- • 'Greensburg in . April of the: following year.
Four of his farmer congregations, hot being
able, to_sectire a pastor, he • continued
to serve them in connection with his new

sermon in the Ridge congregation, having
been its Pastor, for twenty-eight years. In
.18•18; he. resigned the Youngstown congre

one years with . remarkalale success.
Five flourishing charges , have been
formed out or the territory, .lie , oo
eupied for so many , ' years.. Al
though after 1858 he retained none of his
earlier congregationsihe still 'served five,
:having organized a now one , called Hills,
• - 'north of Greensburg; but time infirnilties of
age Compelled him to resign the latter - until
a year or two since. He labored on to the

Cornelius Jordan, who plead guilty to
two indictments for forgery, in which Levi
Rash was prosecutor, was then called up.
The Court grtinted Win permission to make
a statement, in which he said he bad not
the slightest idea of what_prompted him to
commit the forgeries. He was only , in
debted to the landlord of the Rush Aquae
to the amount of twenty-five dollars, and
why he should forge cheeks for over two
hundred dollars was a' mystery to. him.
He was sick at the time,- and it might have
been that while deploring his conditicin—
iiiick. and , Without money or friends c :--he
committed the offense without thinking.
The hat little effect with the
.Court. Mr. Morrison, counsel for the pris.'

The Committee on Resolutions reported
the following, which were unanimously
adopted : •
WHEREAR, We are about entering upon
another Presidential campaign, 1-
1. Resolved, That we recognize but two
partlea engaged in the canvass, viz.: the
Republican party, based upon the eternal
principles! of humanity, justice and equal
rights, and the so-called and mis-called
Democratic party, the characteristic princi
ples of which appear to be their innate
craving for the pelf and plunder of office,
their devoted reverence for "the lost cause,"
their undying hatred of the negro race,
and their new dogma of the repudiation of
the nationaltdebt.
2. That as the rebellion was the legitimate
offspring . of slavery and treason, and its
suppression a holy work wrought by the
aid of Providence, it behooves ns as con
servators of the great good purchased by the
blood of our country's bravest sons, to watch
thatit be not frittered away by corrupt or
futile legislation. •
3. That as , we have abiding faith in' our
country's honor, we have ,no - fear that she
will ever, in any nunnery, repudiate , the
national debt.
4. That as we ,believe, in the language, of
Andrew Johnson, that ~, traitors should be
.ptuaished," the Senate of the United•Stittes
,should lose no time in deposing the man
who has shown himself so base a traitor to
his country and the principles upon which
he was elected Vice President.
5. That the fearless, energetic and consci
entious' discharge of duty manifested by Ed
win Id. Stanton, gives evidence of a disin
terested -patriotism rarely shown in 'the
annals of history.
6. That as General U. S. Grant was thq
great spiritin bringing the rebellion to a
close, ho should continue to act as the leader
in the great work of reconstruction, and he
is ~therefore Mir choice for tltenext Presi
dency-.
7. That for Vice President our ebOice
would be a man of sterling integrity and
undoubted patriotism. whose election would
furnish to the assassin no inducement for
the'nmrder cif the-President.

On the .MUiCie
From the number of aspirants for pugil
istic notoriety, in the usually quiet city of
Allegheny, we are led to believe that ; our
neighbors on- that side of the river are
.be
coming-slightly demoralized, and were it
not for the rigor and strict-enforcement of
the wholesome,: laws by Mayor Drum,
"bravos" would soon be as numerous as
corner loafers are in Pittsburgh. Friday
evening a regular “mill" -took place on the
North Common, between two young men,
and'had progressed to the third or fourth
round when the police interfered, and put
an end to the sport. The principalswere.ar
rested and taken to the Mayor's office,dand
required to pay a fine of ten dollars and
costs • each, which ended the affair. This
was not the only however, which
took place during the day, tho participants
in which.received a like rebuke. Saturday
afternoon two men named : Smith and Mc-
Knight met in McDonald's tavern, on Fed
eral street, where after taking several
drinks they became involVed •in a quarrel
which ended In a fight. After they had sue-
ceeded in punishing each other severely,
the police stepped m and - took theni in
charge. They.w.ere "conducted to the May-,
or's office and reqiiired to-pay a fine' of five,
dollars and costs each, after which they
were discharged.
Alleged Larceny, of $200. 7 11ie Acctuied
Committed for
Catherine Salzman, the proprietress of a
tavern in East Birminghatri, made informa
tion before Justice A.mtnon, on Saturday,
charging John Schafer and Tom Brats' dy
with larceny. She alleges that the accused,
who frequented her house; arid were well
acquainted with its arrangement, came in
to the bar-room Saturday morning and re
mained until she, was called out, when they
entered an adjoining room and took two
hundred dollars from a bureau dratver.
Brawdy and Schafer were arrested, and af
ter a 'hearing, were committed for trial in
default of two hundred dollars each for
their appearance at, Court. The Brairdy
family are becoming quite notorious in
criminal affairs. The mother was, a short
tinie since, convicted on a charge of keep
ing a bawdy house, for which she is serv
ing's term of imprisonment. Subsequently
a son was arrested and committed to fail to
await trial on a similar charge, and now
the third - one of the family is committed on
a charge of larceny.
Aggravated Assault and Battery.
John Blackburn, a dairyman, residing,at
Nine Mile Run, on the Pittsburgh and Cant'
,
noltsville - Railroad, made information 'be;
