Brown's morning sermon of Sunday, he 20th inst. h grtsly " mis lopresentcd by the. last issue- of tho Forest Frets, which ieiuo seems to be gotten up with an especial view of ridiculing the Biblo, Christianity, and all exponents thereof. 'We quote ode of tho objectionable "remarks in to gard to the Sermon spoken of: f; J "He (Mr. Brown) concluded there were some chosen ones in which evi dence of tho grace of God was too slight and obscure to be observed, vet as the Ivord had marked them for Ilis own, they'd eventually be saved, altho' considered all that was bad in the eyes of the world.' . " Rev. Brown's sermon contained no clause that could be thus interpreted. His , remarks upon that point were such aa any right-minded man will agree with, and the suhstanco of them was very nearly as follows i -"The Lord knows his own ; . the world cannot always know them. That some of the loudest-praying and fore most members of Christian Churches - were aftcn the veriest hypocrites, an'd that somd more modest and not , es pecially marked by the world for zeal and forwardness, might be the Lord.' chosen ones." . , Nothing was said, from which the inference could be taken, that "al though considered all that was bad in the eyes of tho world" the one so con sidered might be among the chosen ones. Under the circumstances .we consider the remarks of lho Press up on the subject uncalled for and do not bclievo they will meet with the appro bation of any part of tho readers of that paper. " Rev. Brown is a new man among us, and has been called to the Presby terian Church of this place, and in stead of misrepresentation, ho deserves encouragement and welcome. Minis ters are human, and are liable to be as sensitive to rebuffs and calumny as other people, and wo can ouly look at this article of tho Press as an attompt to discourage the Reverend gentleman from accepting the call that has been tendered him by tho unanimous voice of tho congregation of the Presbyter ian church. . We hope however,' that Rev. Brown will consider that tho feel ing displayed in tho articlo quoted from is tiot the feeling of the citizens at largo ; for we very much doubt if tho author could Cud another auditor on the occasion spoken of to agree with him. Two weeks ago we published an account of a young man of Hickory, who attempted an outrage upon a lady of that vicinity, on tho uighlof tho 4th of July. A correspondent of the Der rick puts tho matter in a better light for the youcg man. It seems that the chap bad been at Tidioute, and im bibed a littio too much anti-license lemonade. When ho arrived nt home ho had tense enough to try to tvoid the parental eyes, and was shown by a couple of "jokey" chaps, tho room of the lady, and informed that it was his own, supposing of course iho lady would waken and meet him at the win dow and dispute the ground with him Finding that the lady still slept after the young mau wcut in, tho two disin tercsted friends "ulid," and loft the young man to his own destruction. Very shortly tho lady awoke, and then thero was a ruction. Tho deluded youngster tried to explain, but it was too thin. Thero was nothing for it but to make himself scarco, which he did on short notice. The young man will now better appreciate tho wisdom of Solomon, when he suid, "Wino is a mocker; strong drink is raging; aud whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise." The Democratic District Conven tion met at East Brady on the 22d inst,, aud ballottcd 52 times without leaking a choice, each county's dele gates voting for their own candidate every time. Finding that they were making no progress, the conferees voted to adjourn tho conference, to Fryburg, and to meet there on the 13th of August. It seems that the Clarion Coupfy Conferees are bound to stick, notwithstanding the fact that they have had the Assemblyman for four years, and now havo the State Senator, while Forest has never bad a district or State office since about IS GO. To some people this grasping disposition of Clarion county might look a little hoggibh, but we bcliove it is not intended by the Peiuocratio politicians of Clarion to creao that impression they merely uact the Assemblyman., Nevertheless, jtUpono of our funeral, and if the Democracy wart to kick up a bobbery among themselve, they have our permission. On Saturday last Dan Andrews had two very narrow , escapes from death. He and Charley Ilinton and another man whose name we did not loam, were walling up the Lawrence IIouso well, which had been sunk to the depth of thirty feet. Andrews was in the well, and whilo there the large bucket, containing upward of 200 lb3. of stone, foil to the bottom, twice, narrowly escaping Lira both times. If that pail had struck him, he would in all probability have died. How it happened that the pail fell, we have not heard. Tho well was put down about 24 feet in Juno, and Andrews and Jacob Sraearbaugh were stoning it up ; once there was more stone in than Sraearbaugh realized, and when he launched the load, it was so heavy that it threw him completely over tho windlass, but with an agility surprhv ing for a large man, he turned imme diately around, and braced himself and grasped the windlass at the same time, stopping it perfectly still. If wa were Andrews we would quit the business. He may not Always be so lucky, The stono for the Laeytown bridge are being prepared for laying, and by the time the debris of the old bridge is cleared away tho work of laying them will be commenced, and rushed through as rapidly as energy and good management can accomplish it. The contractor of the stonework, Mr. J, Clary, was fortunate in having almost all tho stone he will need in the con struction of tho abutments, right uear tho site of the bridge, within reach of the crane, in the shape of huge rocks, which havo been split with wdges, make altogether the finest lot of stone for building purposes we have ever seen. About fifteen men are at work there and are making things buzz. A fresh outr.igo on decency and humanity comos from Pleasantville. It seems that C. A. Reoscr,' proprietor of tho Pleasantville Nurseries has sen crotly gotten a divorce from his wife, through the agency of a New York. City lawyer, and married another wo man all unknown to wife No. 1 until Rcescr brought wife No. 2- homo and sought to turn No. 1 out of the house. Assisted by her father-in-law, slip drove the husband and No. 2 away, Recser has been living with both wo' men since his marriage to 'the lastono. He has left tho country, and if he comes back it will probably be made interesting for him. George Killmer, a little boy aged about four years, fell into the river off a flat-boatjust below the abutment on this side of the river, where the water is quite deep. The littio fellow would certainly havo been drowned, had not Prothonotary Agnew plunged in and pulled him out. It is a wonder that there aru not more accidents pf this kind, as there are always ten to fifteen small boys playing on and around the boats tied there. Parents should keep their children away from such danger ous places; a little wholesome disci pline now may save some sore hearts hereafter. T-The enterprising base-ballists of lylersburg are around that burg with a subscription paper to raise money to procure base ball suits for the mem bers. As the suits cost from $3 to S5 apiece, it will be a pity if they can not raiso the amount. We expect soon to hear of some roaq running around with a subscription paper to pay hia board bills. If the members of that club have hands and legs as hord ns thoir cheek, they will be tho champions of Clarion county in no time. -A oommitteo of the Town Coun cil was appointed on Saturday even ing last to take into consideration a motion to abandon River Street and open up r illiaru Street. It is said that tho borough will either have to abandon or rip-rap River Street, and if the latter is done, j will cost an immense sum more than the tax-pay- ers will care to invest, If William street is opened, it will let them out, being just back of the lots fronting on the other street. There are several good skiffs in tho river hero, an excellent sheet of water for rowing, and there aro sever al good rowers in town. Why would it not be a good idea to get two or four of the best of them to mako a trial of their sk'ill some of these flue evenings, just to get up an excitement T We don't suggest betting, but believe a small purse could bo mado up for tlio sinner. A little excitement was occasion ed yesterday about , dinner time, by one of Mabie's teams running away. It appears that the driver had left the horses for a few moments, and they cantered off just for the fun of the thing. Nobody nor nothin' was hurt. S. J. Wolcott, Superintendent of the Union Sabbath School, desires us to state that the prize ofiored to the scholar reciting the most verses from the bible, will be awarded on Sunday next. It is desirable that all tho scholars and teachers of the school be present on that morning. Our readers will recollect Rev. J. Matoer, of Clarion Co., who preached in the Presbyterian church, as a supply some two years ago. The Washington and Jefferson College has just confer red upon him the degree of Doctor of Divinity.. Rev. Matccr is an earnest and eloquent minister, and we know of no one upon whom the honor could be more worthily bestowed. rhiletus Thompson is one of these chaps that must have some business on hands or ho can't enjoy himself. He ta going to put up a stave mill on Jam ison's Run, and work up a tract of oak there. Then he proposes to take a Blandy Portable Saw Mill up to a tract of hemlock on Spring Creek and mauufacturo bill stuff. If he has any reasonable luck, he will undoubtedly make money on both ventures. Tho office of SherifT,- In Erie County, is worth to the holder the sum of $17,000 peryear.or $51,000 for a terra of three years. The Observer moves that the office be mado a sala ried position, say of 85,000 per year, the balance of the legal fees to go in to the county treasury or be disposed of in some such way, so that the Sher iff will not become purse-proud at the eud of the first year. -Peters' Musical Monthly, No. 72j is to hand, and contains the following selections of Now Music : ' Lost and Cast Away, song and cho rus; My Lovo Sleeps under tho Dai slesj Will lio come Home to-night? song ; My Dear Old Mother, song and chorus; Hear the Piistil ion ; Bertie's Schottische ; An Instrumental Piece ; Tho Reapers' Dance ; Golden Hours, morceau de salon.
