water, at the residence of T. Carey Phillips, in

who is living as a dur.ics.ic in the family of Mr.

into the yard to hang up her clothes, leaving
the chil l, which vas about two years old, in

Another Democratic Victory.
Democratic Delaware achieved another tri
umph for Democratic principle?, on the 3rd
hist., this time vastly more glorious than the
victory we made a note of a couple of weeks a
or. Thrn it was nnor white 'mudsills" who
t , ..
were cawolloied ; this time it was genuine "nig
gers," as Democrats so dearly loved to call
them a few months ago. And they were not
onlv whipped, but th very achme of brutality
was wTiiml by "pillorying" them out in the
cold until their hands and faces were almost
frozen ; and thus they were prepared for the
operations of the "cat." What a State this for

of Democratic principles in gallant little Dela

the ends of the fingers being beaten and
battered all to pieces, the hair torn out in

We commend to the many friends j
of the deceased in this County, the fol
lowiD"' fitting tribute of respect, which
we have tat en from the Lulhcrn and Js-
sionary of the 3d inst. '
THE REV. GEORGE HEILIG.
The intelligence ot the decease of this
active aud successful pastor, though it
may awaken a sense ol sadness, can hard
ly tail to call up pleasant memories in
many a heart. In our own case the sor
row that we feel in view of the fact that
we shall see liis face in the flesh no more,
is almost lost in the agreeable impres
sions produced by the rememberauce ol
his worth and his many personal exceleu-
cies.
The miuistry of Mr. Heilig, which in
cluded a period of about forty years, was
cotemporary with that of the Rev. Drs.
Demuie, Raker, Ivrauth, and the Rev.
Benjamin Keller. With these venerable
fatheis his associations had beeu most
familiar; and the sympathy of joy and ol
sorrow that uuited them was most inti
mate, as together they bore the heat and
burden of the day.
Mr. Ileilig was naturally a gifted man,
and no one could associate with him with
out discovering the originality of genius
about him, the energy of his character,
and the purity of his heart. A childlike
simplicity, a cultivated taste, a high re
fiucment of mauners, a boundless charity,
and an unfailing habit of hospitality7 made
his presence aud his home ever attrac
tive.
Offered to the Lord by the faith of his
parents ia iufaacy, the offering was ac
cepted and sealed in his baptism, and af
ter the needful preparatiou of heart and
mind, he eutered upon the labors of the
miuistry of reconciliation in the full vig
or ot his Youth. Ills pastoral care was
exercised successively in large charges in
Cumberland, Montgomery, Monroe and
Schuylkill Counties, Pennsylvania, and a
blessing rested upon his labors, and the
savor of the knowledge of God was inaui
fested bv hiui iu every place. With
rare personal meekness he had a high ap
preciation of his office as a minister of
God, a Christian sense of the value of
souls and of the power of the Divine
Word, and though by no aicaus a Strang
er to the trials of the Gospel ministry,
yet he uever fainted nor grew weary nor
lost his chcerf ulucss, nor failed to show
the possession of u heart inspired by the
hope of the glory of uod.
The apostolic test of fitness to take
care of the Church of God was fully met
in him. He ruled his own house well
His home was an abode of Christian peace
and love, a scene of ever generous hospi
tality, where the graces of the Gospc
might be observed iu daily exercise, and
the Churches successively committed to
his care, by the divine blessings upon his
ministry, seemed ever to be growing light
in the Lord.
Looir accustomed to eudure hardness
as a good soldier of Jesus Christ, his
physical strength at last began to yield ;
aud, admonished by growing infirmities,
he withdrew, not long since, from the ac
tive labors of hi3 o&ce. His children
trained in the ways of life and enjoying
the blessing of the Eord which maketh
rich, cheered his declining years by un
failing tokens of filial gratitude and love ;
and so, surrounded by many externa
I ft f e
comiorts ana wun tuc peace oi uoa in
his heart, he entered into his rest on
Sunday evening, Xov 22d, at the age ol
sixty uiue years and seven months.
His mortal remains, followed to th
grave by a large circle of relatives and
friends, rest iu hope, in the beautiful
cemetery of Catasaurjua, on the banks ot
the Lehigh. The religious exercises of
the funeral were conducted by the Revs
J. I). Schiudel. S. K. Rrobst, M. Rich
ards, C. W. Schaeffer and C. Karle, pas
tor of the Presbyterian Church in Cata-
saqua, with whom the persuual relations
of the deceased had been especially in
tima'e.
California does not seem to grow very-
fast, if we take her ajrirreirate vote for
President as a standard. That was
In 1852 76,033 In 1SG0 112,023
In 1850 110,221 In 1864 105,975
In 18G8 108,070.
Hence it appears that California con
tains fewer voters in 18G8 thau she did
in 1850. And, when we consider that
she lost scarcely a man by our late Civil
IP 11 i .
u ar, wiiiie sue uouutiess guinea eome
who fled to her to escape the draft, it might
be supposed that her population was dc
cltning.
We judge, however, that the fact is
otherwise. She may have fewer Ameri
can-born Cor naturalized) men than she
formerly hud, but a great many more wo
men aud children, to say nothing of thous
ands of Chinese who never seek to be
come citizens. Her diggers and washers
have mainly passed on to Nevada,' Mon
tana, Idaho, Oregon, Alaska, or the un
seen world but she has twice as many
families now as she had in 185G, while
her growth in wealth ,civilization, com
fort, has been rapid and secure. She
grows far more Grain, has more Cattle,
Sheep, &c., vastly more and larger farms,
orchards, gardens, vineyards, and is, in
everything but voters, far ahead of the
California of 5b. Tribune.
We have a report, which seems to be
authentic, that the scat of the Hon. John
Morrissey in the next House will be con
tested, iu spite of his large majority.
The ground of contest mentioned is that
he has not been loug enough a citizen to
entitle him to a seat. We believe a like
objection will be made to any colored
Representative or Senator who has been
emancipated since 18G2. If so, the de
fense of the right to sit of either of the
Members whse seats are thus disputed,
will doubtless be able and exhaustive.

The unexpected production of odo of
the Congressional Reconstruction meas
ures as a bar agaiust punishment to Mr.
Jefferson Davis was answered yesterday
by Mr. Dana, with the striking argument
tha t to admit this plea would te to p!&' C a
premium ou perjury, by leaving the oM
Constitutional punishment of treason in
full force on those who never held omce,
while thase who had taken the official oath
to support the Constitution of the United
States, and had broken it, would be re
lieved from coy penalty save disabilily to
hold office again. The report does tiot
show that Mr. O'Conor made any satis
factory reply to this. He did, however,
in turn, press a strong point against the
Government by holding itup as repugnaut
to the world's idea of huuiauity to deal for
four years with the leaders in a war as
men in all respects equal in official rank,
and honorable enough to be treated with,
and then, with the coiuiug of peace, to

If a drunken man could, in the midst

The Doom of the World.
The North British Review, discours
ing on the doom of the world, has the
following remarks :
"What this charge is to be we dare not
even conjecture, but we see in the heav
ens some traces of destructive elements
and some indication of thir power. The
fragments or broken planets the descent
of meteoric stones upon our globe the
whirling comets wielding their loose ma
terial at solar surface the volcanic erup
tions in our own satellite -the appear
ance of new stars and the disppearance of
others, are foreshadowing of that im
pendiug convulsion to which the system
of the world is doomed. Thus placed on
a planet which is to be burned up, and
under heavens which are to pass away;
thus
residing, as it
were, on tho ccme
teries, aud dwelling upon tho mausoleums
of former worlds, let us learn the lesson
of humility and wisdom, if we have not
already been taught in the school of re
velations.
Record your Deeds.
Wo havo no doubt that many persons
in this county are holding unrecorded
deeds which it would be well to have
recorded, as directed by the provisions of
an act of Assembly, which requires that
"all deeded aud conveyances for estate io
the Commonwealth shall be recorded in
the office of the recording of deeds in the
county where the lands lie, without six
months after the execution of such deeds,
conveyance not recorded as aforesaid,
shall be judged Jraudulent and void
against any subsequent purchase for a
valuable consideration, unless such deeds
be recorded before the recording of the
deed for conveyance, under such claim "
This is very important notice, and those
holding unrecorded deeds will see the im
portance of having them recorded with
out further delay.

o
Spurgeon as a Wine Drinker.
At a recent meeting of Baptist minis
ters in England, to consider the subject,
of total abstinence," Mr. Spurgeon ex-
pressed himself as follows on the subject:
I may be allowed for the moment to
be slightly egotistical, and say what it
my position here. It nay be the posi
tion of one or two others. 1 may illus
trate it fiom my brother's case. Some
two years ago he was an avowed teetota

sistent to his pledge, but again and again,,
from time to time, he found that he wu

he to the verge of the grave, that I said r
"Young mau, there was one man who
went to heaven in a chariot of fire, but
there is no reason why you should go ia
one of water," and 1 went myself and
fetched a glass of wine, which enabled
him to finish his day's work. He said.
"What more is to be done ?" I said, "I
will tell you my own experience. I trie!
conscientiously to be a teetotaler for uio
months myself, but I found I was obliged
to give it uj. (at least I thought no), and
determined to take what I did take in
secret. I bought some wine and sow
medicine glasses-, and I think for a year I
drank no wine but out of a mediciuo glass,
and with a locked dor. But, of course,
it leaked out, and I found I was doing
more harm than by my open drinking.
I fmnd some hud go U hibit of secret
drinking, who confirmed tncmselves in
what I was doing ; so I put the medicine
glass on one side, that no one should suy

Advertising ArnonisMsr If yors
don't mean to mind your business, it will
not pay to advertise.
Bread is the staff of human life, and
advertising is the staff of lift in trade.
Don't attempt to advertise unless yoa
have a good stock of a meritorious article.
Newspaper advertisements are good of
their kind, but they cannot take the placs
of circulars and handbill's.
Handbills and circulars arc good of
their kind, but they cannot take the placo
of newspaper advertisements.
No bell can ring o loudly as a good
advertisement. People will believe what
they see rather than what they hear.
