• Editor of Reoord , :—Having seen an ar
ticle in the your columns last week taken
from the Repository respecting an effort
-- atilarisburg of the Seventh-day Bap
tiste to induce our Legislature 90 repeal
the Sunday law of 1794; and, topes a law
leaving the observance of the Sabbath to the
conscience and judgment of men";
which
contains inaccuracies calculated to
.pro
duce erroneous impressions. I wish to
state that the Seventh.day Baptists are
evidently misrepresented in the article al
luded to, and the granting of such a pe
tition would be unwise and improppr
-t; --
--.tt-ts-true that-a-petition-was--circulated
'through' this vicinity for signatures ask
ing the Legislature to exempt members of
the Seventh•day Baptist religious society
from fines andpenalties of the Sunday
Law of 1794. But the petition did not
ttak for a repeal of the law ; nor for any
Modificdtion, nor change of the law from
Sunday to Saturday. It was merely for
a special act in their favor, on account of
their peculiar religious scruples with re
gard to the particular day. Like as Qua
kers, Mennonites, Dunkards and others
have petitioned to be exempt for 'con
science sake from military duty and from
swearing in courts of justice. The Sev
enth-day Baptists are favorable to the ob
servance of a Sabbath day—and they do
not desire to have the Sabbath abolished,
so as to leave "it merely to the conscience
and judgemnt of men."
The righteousjudge of all the earth es
tablished the Sabbath. The framers of
our constitution recognizing the authori
ty. of Almighty God incorporated the
Sabbath asa fundamental - law. The pea
'ple throughout the land ratified and ado? ,
ted the constitution. The Legislature of
1794 clothed the Sabbath with Legisla
tive sanction and protection, and we have
the institution of the Sabbath for the ben
efit-of-all-classes - of - society ; - and as
memmorial of the wisdom and piety of
our ancestors never to be revoked.
The article quoted likewise represents
the Seventb•day Baptists as existing in
large numbers in Lancaster, Franklin,
Adams and Bedford counties; which is
not true. They never have existed 'in
large numbers anywhere.
A — small - 7 ited
community of lem emigrat,
from Germany and located at Ephrata,
Lancaster county, Pa. during the last cen
tury: A similar colony in Franklin Co.
From these a few fainilies moved in Ad -
ems and Bedford counties. But, they
never became numerous. Instead of in
creasing they have alwaysbeen deminish
ing. Their acquisition of-members has
not averaged one per annum during the
last half century ; and putting them all
together at the present. time, including
Ephrata, the Nunnery and elsewhere—
all told do not exceed 50 exemplary mem
bete. It would therefore not be equit a
ble to repeal our Sunday laws in mere o
beisauce to the wishes of these lbw Satur
day men—when all other religious socie
dee (if we except the Jews) footing up
their numbers by millions observe the Ist
day of the weeks as their Sabbath.
But, by inspection we find very few
names of Seventh-day Baptists on those
petitions. And this is not the Ist nor 2d
time, that this olx. cure religious society
has been made conspicuous by infidels and
rumsellers in efforts to repeal the law of
1794 and thereby to abolish the Holy
Sabbath Day I
When they bad not the effrontery to
say "they disregarded Law"—and—"wish
ed every man to act as he pleased"—they
found it convenient to effect a pious com
passion for the Seventh-day ,Baptists—
though perhaps had never seen one and
could not tell where one of them could ,
be found.
It was so in 1829 when Christians of
all denominations petitioned Congress to /
stop the transportation of the U. 8. Mail ,
on the Sabbath and Dick Johnson object
ed ;—"Because if Congress atoped the mail
on Sunday the Seventh-day Baptists might
ask to have it. stoped likewise on Satur
day I And is 1844 when the Tunnellers
and infidels petitioned our Legislature to
repeal the law of 1794—backed by oyster
suppers and other bribes; and assumed
an air of piety by pleading that it would
be too hard for the Seventh-day Baptists
to be compelled to keep Sunday when they
kept Saturday. Some apprehended the
repeal of the law under a rumocratic in
fluence. But God bless the memory of
the noble minded and pure hearted women
of Philadelphia—who circulated remous
trances-ana obtained signatures by scores
of thousands—forming a roll too big for
a man to carry—that was actually rolled
into the Capitol—and confounded the pe
titioners so that they went home saying—
them was too much religion at Harris
burg and too many pious women in
Philadelphia—for them to succeed.
And let it be so now. If a bill should
be reported—let every first and every'
seventh day Baptist, and every other be
liever in the Bible, and every friend of
law and good order, sign a remonstrance
—and let the cars be crowded with wo
men to go to Harrisburg with these re
monstrances and beseech our Legislature
to preserve our laws and protect society.

MAREIEDAND DIDN'T KNOW IT.—The

relation to his marriage, Mr. Winship
says that while he was in the navy, one
Butler, his ship mate, a Philadelphian,
went home and was married and invited
him to his house. lie went there and the
next day accompanied Mr. and Mrs. But

to the person from whom he is seeking
divorce, On the trip something stronger
than water was imbibed, and he knew
nothing mom notil he awoke at his hotel
on the following day, when he awoke and
discovered a lady in his bed who said she
was his wife, and exhibir4 A certificate to
prove the fact. He did not know how
they came to be married, as he had only
known her two hours before the event
took place, and to the present time he
has not been able to ford out whether his

AmorKER BUMMER REsowr.—Our par

mittsburg, Md. and Monterey Springs.—
Pure mountain air, cool spring water,
plenty of ice, bath houses, &c. are among
ehluxuralv be found at his
place. When his improvements are com
pleted, which will be about the first of
May, he expects to be able to accommo
date about thirty boarders. Mr. M. like
most persons of Irish descent, is big heart
ed, in other words, hospitable in the ex

will, we predict, fare sumptuously, and
not want for any desired comforts or con
veniences.
EAGLE FANNING MILL.—The other
day - ourattentiOn was calW to this Mill;
which is now on exhibition at the Waynes•
boro' Hotel. We have seen a number of
improved Fanning Mills, but this, by far,
surpasses them all. It is not cumbersome,
only weigbing 165 pounds, and runs so
light that a lad of 12 years can turn the
crank with ease, but its great merit lies
in separating grain and grass seeds. It
does everything in this line combined, and
to a nicety, even separating plantin from
clover, and oats and rye from wheat. We
think farmers who will take the time to
call and see it operated will agree with us
that they never saw a more complete piece
of mechanism of the kind.
APronrruErrs.—The following ap

ata,Since the consolidation of the Wes

panies, the public are interested to kriow
something as to the reliability of this mow
liter monopoly. On last Saturday Mr.
Josiah Fahrney availed himself of the use
of the wires to summons several of his
brothers to their mother's funeral. One
dispatch sent to Dr. J. Fahrney, in Phil
adelphia, has not been answered. Out of
three sent to Somerset Co., not one was
delivered by the'company, but entrusted
to disinterested parties. Dr. P. Fahrney
telegraphed from Meyers' Mill; Pa. that
he was coming, but the dispatch was not
delivered until after his arrival. Inves
tigation proves that no blame rests on the
company's employee at the office in this
place. The question arises whether the
company is chartered for the benefit of
the public or merely , to put money into
its treasury.. •
XlirA Bill is pending in the Legislature

ins..Budden wealth upsets men as fre
quently as it makes them. Very few
know how to use money unless have earn
ed it by painful application to buisness.
The man who drew the big Crosby Opera
House, in Chicago, some years ago, died
a poor man, for he had not been used to
handling such sums of money, and lost it.
The journey-man-carpenterin Peoria, 111.,
who, three years ago, fell heir to $250,000
by the death of an uncle, has his money
yet for he was so conscious of his inability
to use it as other men do, and so afraid of
losing it, that he simply hoards it, taking
from the principal enough each week to
pay his expenses. He thinks it will sup
port him as long as he lives, as it doubt
less will; but a more miserable man never
lived. Jno. Steele, the Petroleum Prince,
ran through his millions in riotous living,
inside of three years. The number who
hive suddenly acquired wealth wisely, is
very small. L. H. Keith, of Mass., is an
exception. He held a ticket in the Third
Gilt Concert of the Kentucky Public Li
brary, and that ticket drew the capital
prize of $lOO,OOO. Mr. Keith, a _
self-poised man of buisness, simply went
to Louisville, took his money at the hand
of Gov. Bramlette, the manager, and
went home without it, and without any
particular fuss invested it in his business,
and is rapidly Converting that $lOO,OOO
into $200,000. Should he draw the grand
prize of $250,000 in the Concert that takes
place in Louisville in March next,
would be precisely the man that he m
is. Such men are never unduly elated
unduly depressed. They are self-poit
and keep always on an even keel. Eat
man believes he could use money wisei
but few do it. We should like to be tri
with a million or two.— Toledo Blade.
