A New Wilmington disteh to the Pitts burgh 77ct undir date of October 27th, is as fallows : "Rev. John Kaufman, of E'k hart county, Indiana, preached for tbe Ara isb Protestant congregation, about two miles south of-town, last Sabbath. He preaches while asleep. He was taken care of by a young man who accompanied him. He came tt the chinch lat Sabbath, and immediately upon entering hal his shoes and coat taken offl He walked up Ufore the congregation ar.d lay down on a bench, where he lay as s'ill as d' nth r fully twenty minutes. Then his limbs were noticed to twitch arid one arm was raised. Apparency without any effort be roe to his feet and began his dis course. For three hoars he held his audi ence ira the closest attention. When be be came exhausted be fell over. and was caught by Lis attendant, and placed on a bench, w here Le lay for an hour before Le woke When Le woke be asked to be taken borne.

Few people, even in Washington, seem to be aa are that the only bouse which tbe im mortal Ge.rgi Washington ever built in that city is still standing and in a good state of preservation. It is situated near tbe capt tol grounds, not far from tbe B.limore A Ohio depot, on Sorb Capitol street. The bouse was originally of three stories, but ibe march of improvtunls caused tbe street on which It slanJ io oe grauea, ana wnen 11. is was done two more stories were added to the building, whicb is now used as a Loitl. Some of the rooms are pretty much in tbe same condition as tbey were when oc- pied by the asuingions in a lew old pieces of furniture are said to be secreted about the bouse yet, and the interior of the bouse shows its age. It is a peculiar thing that none of the many guide books mention this bouse as Laving any bistoiical value, and it is never pointed out by old residtnts to their country cousins when they come here on a s:ghl seeing expedition.

"Bless ed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called tbe children of God." Mr. Granger said : There is nothing new in Go"pel truth. The fact that, iu the script ures, humanity is so often spoken of as children is significant. He spoke of tbe relation of father to child of the imperfections of childhood tbe illness proligality, rebellion. Even a child is known by its ways. A strong will is all right provided it is properly directed. A teicber will not find fault with a child that does it lst God in Heaven will not find fault with cr.e w bo dots his best. He who takes Jesus the Christ as the copy and follows it as best be can. Amidst tbe world's clatter and din it is bard to get the attention of God's children. There are too many, alas, who put their eyes upon everything else bot the copy. Probation after death is a dactrine of Hades. Hell the place to preach it. Tbe Gospel is ours. Let us like men and women meet the issue. M. At a recent term of Court, Judge Patter son, of Lancaster, took occasion to call down a Justice of Uie Peace who sent a petty as sault and battery case to court. The action of Judge Patterson calls attention to and deals with a matter that bas become a nui sance to tbe courts and a burden to tax pay ers. Tbe nature and cause of this nuisance are hit off in this comment by a Willanis port paper; ' If more Judges would pay more attention to tbe cases returned to courts by Justices and Aldermen, there would be less basin f r the courts, less costs for the county and a better stale of tbimcsaU around. The Justices and Aldermen all over tbe State, with bat few exceptions, never hesi tate to send to court all of the cases that come before them. They seem to be not men competent to determine tbe merits of alleged violations of law so much as tbey are men competent to manufacture a bill of costs for themselves, the lawyers and tbe constables who bring them their business.

Committee. How Are Farmers to Hire Boy a ? I think the farmers are about " at their wits end," as the old saying is. It seems, according to existing laws, that there ia no use in farmers making a bargain with a hireling. The only way a farmer can safely hire is to make a written rgreement, calling three or four witnesses other than his rela tives, and then affirm the hireling, and I doubt very much if such an agreement would be considered valid if decided by a court. A hireling can go to a farmer, hire himself for certain wages per month ; he can then work one hour per day, and he can loaf around half tbe time, and do just as he pleases, and all he need do when be gets tired of Lis bargain is to leave, sue his em pioyer for any amount of money he sees fit, and tbe farmer will be compelled to pay tbe hireling all he demands, and be will have to pay Lira for every day he kefs around, no matter if tbe farmer proves tbe bargain with the best witnesses in the county, tbe law is all for the hireling; and no matter if tbe hireling claims such an amount that every sane man knows no farmer pays for wages, and yet he will be compelled to pay it, This is the way I view the matter : A farmer has no more protection in law than a passing cloud. I would therefore ad vise all farmers, when a boy comes along to hire by the year to take him by the coat col lar and boot him off tbe premises. If tbe farmer needs help let him hire a good, hon est day laborer, and he need not be afraid of getting into trouble, and can depend on getting their work done cheaper, and much better. At present, as with hired boys, the farmer has no Laws to protect him in anything be does, as is proven .by tbe following: If a swindler comes along, be selects the farmer as his victim. He can fill tip notes, and tbe farmer is compelled to pay tbe note. If a chiiken ibief or horse thief comes along be selects tbe fanner, and steals all be can lay bands on. And when these boys who hire by tbe year come along they also select the farmer as their victim, and tbe farmer is stuck, sim ply because the law is sgainst him. And now, fellow farmers, the swindler shun, Le tbe thief avoid, and the "year boys" spurn tbem loathe them, as you would a viper. But a day laborer you can always rely on. Com. Shanksville, Oct. 30, 1S90. Country Funerals. Frra ths Xew York Ledger. A funeral in a country town is always s melancholy thing, much more so than in the midst of a great city, where the multi tude of living, instead of offering, as might be supposed, a strange and startling contrast to tbe procession of the dead, seems to carry away all thought of mortality upon t'ie tide of animation, and the only fitting and see. son able observation is, "Lo! another drop of water gone from the ocean." Almost every circumstance is to men, in general, very little impressive, except by its associations, which are the channels where by tbe events that occur to others apply themselves fo our own hearts; and tbe gen eral moral that we must ail die is tbe only one suggested by the sight of death in a large city. But in a village or hamlet or small neighborhood, a funeral has, in general, a thousand associating ties with the mind of every one who beholds it, bringing it near both to feeling and generous impulsta'and to selfish beans. One man. when he sees his companion borne to the grave, thinks of the boyish days of happiness which he has spent with him, and looks back upon the past with regret, Another mourns him, cut off early before his family are provided for, leaving a widow or parents behind. Another thinks, "He was my school fellow, and he is gone; it may be my turn nex'. So each reads his comment ia turn ; each feels an interest in the man he Las personally known ; and gloom and darkness for a time take posses sion of every heart. Wanted.

Fran tbe Sew York .Sun A gentleman who returned from Germany by way of a North German Lloyd steamer last Saturday said yesterday, in speaking of tbe coming celebration of Von Moltke's birthday, that be had tbe pleastrre of seeing tbe old field marshal the dav before he left Berlin. "I happened to be at the war oCiw," he said, "when Von Moltke drove up. He sat quite erect in tbe corner i.f the big open barouche, which was drav u by two very plump dapple gray horses. On the box was a very stout old driver and a moon-faced orderly who was almost as big in circum ference. Tbey were oldish men, and un doubtedly they bad been personal attend ants of Von Moltks for many years. Tbe contrast between the two bulky retainers and the slim, sharp featured and erect little marshals was a very remarkable one. Von Moltke smiled and kissed bis band to the children, aud saluted the by slanders as he entered the war offioe. Hs is still a splendid looking soldier, and be carries the great weight of bis years uprightly and well. It would be difficult to imagine a more heroic figure." Wanted.
