Presentation.—On Wednesday evening of
last week Rev. J. F. Crouch, Pastor pf the Meth
odist Episcopal Church in thleplace, presented to
the members of his church a very handsome Com
munion Service, completely surprising his com
municants, as the matter was kept in profound
secrecy until the evening of presentation, at which
time he addressed to his people the 'foillowing ap
propriate remarks :
"My dear fitetnierldeem it a pleasure to pre
sent to,you, at this timZNI, n the name of my wife,
this Service as a token of the tender affection and
and sincere attachment which we entertain for this
beloved people. And in presenting to you this,
the emblem of our attachment, I assure you that
it is but the manifestation of the purest Christian
motives, nod I hold that no vessel can he too pure
and beautiful to contain the demerit that repre
sents the shed blood of our Divine Master. As we
empty these vessels iu commemorating the suffer
ings and death of our Lord Jesus Christ, let us
constantly strive to advance In the way that leads
to the land of eternal joy where we shall see Him
who has commanded as to commemorate his
death until his coming, where we shall live forever
In the presence of his majesty and glory.
After which James S. fiery responded In the
following language :
- -
"In behalf of this Congregation I rise to tender
the grateful acknowledgments of this people for
the handsome and valuable gift you have bestowed
upon us at this timo. Much as we value It for Its
own Intrinsic merits, It will be doubly appreciated
a...0.m0_ a Its weelciarioe with the period of
your sojourn among us ; and let me assure you,
that when we behold these the tokens of your
Christian regard for this people, memory with all
her hallowed associations will rekindle In our
hearts those holy ties of affection which now so
closely unite us as pastor and people.
When you pour the emblem of Christ's blood
Into that burnished cup, may your bosom swell
with joy and gladness at the remembrance that on
Calvary's rugged brow our blessed Master poured
old his most precious blood in order that wo might
be cleansed from all sin, and when your happy
communicants receive the same at your hand, may
God in infinite mercy look upon you and preeent,to
your heart the cup of etertial joy.
And now my dear friends, allow me to say to
you that aeChristians our hearts ought constantly
to rise In exultation at the thought that Christ, the
'Righteous died for the unrighteous,' that with
his stripes we are healed,' and when we gather
around the altar to commemorate the excruciating
sufferings and death of our Master let us rejoice
that ho has risen again and has ascended On high
to prepare beautiful mansions for all those who
love him.
Following this there was a general greeting be
tweeu the pastor and his people, and also some
very pleasant congratulations among the members
of the Congregation.
Anthropology.—This is a subject upon which
Mr. C. Chauncey Burr has been making Copper
head speeches at the Court House, during the past
week. These lectures, as Mr. Burr is pleased to
call them, have attracted a great deal of attention
and have done much to aesuage.tho bitter feeling
of our Democratic friends caused pp their defeat
last fall. The lecture has been better attended by
the Democracy than is usual, autlthe calm, peace
ful expression which rested upon the countenances
of our political opponents as they passed beyond
the sound of Me.'l3urr's eloquence showed plainly,
on one occasion at least, that they were convinced
there would be no niggers in Heaven and they
thanked God for it. But to give our readers a just
report of these lectures .we don't know that we
could do better than &elite following able eriti-
ChM from the Mauch Chunk Gaul,:
" After giving to Mr. Burr's lectures an Impar
tial and unprejudiced hearing, we ale entirely con
vinred, at the close of the course, that his doc
trines are fundamentally erroneous, and that his
positions, from any stand-point, aro manifestly
untenable. A complete refutation of his theories
are within the reach of any man well informed
either on science or theology, and no Christian
mind eau harbor them for p. moment, except to
the annihilation of his faith in God and the Bible.
For any one in this age to be asked to believe that
when the Creator said Let us make Man in Our
'Own Image,' He meant us to understand that
white men alone were spoken of ; that when Adam
shined, the penalty of his transgression was merely
intended to be visited upon the whits race; that
there was an Adam for every type of humanity ;
that the Savior's sacrificial atonement was intend-
ed to redeem, and does redeem, only the white man ;
that there Is a separate revelation to, and a dis
tinct salvation for each class of human beings ;
that therefore the effort of Christianity to teach
all men the Gospel plan is direct mutiny against
the decrees of God ; that such efforts have always
failed to accomplish the slightest good, but, on
the contrary, have ever resulted In positive evil to
these lower races ; and that It Is utterly Impossl-
hie to ' tame wild tribes of men,' or elevate them
;mei d morally above their present condition
—to ask redence for such views as these is simply
to rogue a Christian to reject the teachings of
the Scrip rcs altogethey, and to accept the boldest
and most v clone phase of infidelity in their stead.
And yet t ey are Mr. Burr's most prominent
points ; upo them ho hangs his science and to
them be asks he people of the world to subscribe I'
"In all these etures, Mr. Burr has taken pains
to keep one prominent before him and has
sought to fi• t In the minds of his auditors as the
doctrine upon Which the establishment of his the
ory hinges. Ito states It In this way : All efforts
to civilize or christianize these wild tribes are
' failures. You cannot fangs wild men. God has
' fashioned them and they are good in His sight,
and in all the attempts of Christianity to undo
' Ills work by taking these beings out of the sphere
'in which His Wisdom has placed them, have re.
' suited In nothing. Yon can no more elevate them
'to your standard than you can degrade yourself
'to theirs.' This proposition is not only an Insult
to the Bible, but it Is a libel upon the whole
human race. And further, It Is In direct conflict
with other theories which Mr. BM holds on this
subject, and which admit that Bum is the highest
order of, created beings. Ho does not deny Id the
face of every day observation, that the brute
Criatioi Is susceptible of eddCotion. 'All know
that the lower animals can and have been taken
fiom their native wilds and trained, domesticated
Almost any genus of this order has a
sagacity which, under the culture of man, can be
BO developed as to cause its natural wild charac
teristics to comprehend and yield to our wishes and
teachings.. Of this truth, the Elephant is the most
remarkable Instance, but we believe that with a
single exception, It is established that in a greater
or less degree, all brutes are capable of this civili
zation. And yet, while admitting this and also af
firming the superiority of the genus home over
these animals, Mr. Burr solemnly assures us that
we cannot expect an intelligence from them equal
to that displayed by their brute inferiors I If there
had never been a wild man tamed or 'a savage
civilized, this state of facts must demolish so ab
surd a theory.
"But wild men havb been tamed aid savages have
been civilized, converted and saved. Even Mr.
Burr admits this, but alarms that as a race these
men cannot bo brought under the sway of civiliza
tion. We bold that one individual is the typo of his
class, and if you succeed in impressing his mind
and heart with the principles of Christianity,
under a proper course of instruction you can like
wise indoctrinate these principles into the moral
preceptibilitics of his brethren, who aro physio
logically like him, until his whole race is elevated
Into civilization and enlightenment.
" Anthropology appears to admit that a sort of
artificial moral culture may be wrapped around
these races, but holds it cannot take root and will
vanish with the preceptor, and the races retro
grade into their native barbarism. Such is exact
ly the case with the whites, and surely Mr. Burr's
science should expect no more from the savage
than from the Caucasian. Let the Anthropologist
take from the slums of New York city a man who
daring all his life has been steeped in degradation
and surround him with Christian influences. He
may cause him to break off from his immorality
and vice, and lead a reformed life while within
the circle of uprightness and virtue, but remove
these restraints before the person has attained to
a full development of moral principle, and he at
once sinks into his old iniquity. Tho drunkard is
a striking example of this power of habit and as
sociation and illustrates our point exactly. And
yet then Individuals aro living In a:Christian land
with earnest hearts and hands all around them,
laboring for their elevation. The Gospel is
preached in their midst and far greater effort is
being put forth to reclaim and save them, than has
ever yet been brought to bear upon any savage
race under the sun. And still Mr. Burr assumes
that because the power of Christianity, which has
been but just put in motion in the world, has not
succeeded iu totally eradicating from entire races
of men, whom the bonds of 5,000 years have held
in barbarism, every semblance of savage life, they
cannot be Christianized. We would remind him
of the terrible power of darkness, by Both examples
as we have cited from *his own city, and which
exist within a stone's throw of his office, and then
ask him if he dare denounce as incapable of civili
zation those beings from whose souls Christianity
Is loosening, has not quite succeed d in removing,
the fetters of fifty centuries, and which he would
use to shackle them to the brute creation.
" While the assaults of Mr. Burr upon the Bible
and its supporters are too shallow to find root in
any mind that has given a thought to its doctrines
and injunctions, or that has the least atom of faith
in God, his apparently plausible fallacies may
lead to skepticism and perdition hundreds who
without thought and Investigation, or as an excuse
for an irreligious mode of life, blindly submit to
be led by him. And, therefore, In behalf of the
Almighty's divinely appointed Christianity,
through whose instrumentality millions of men, of
every hue, have been redeemed and saved, and
under whose conditions Mr. Burr himself, as well
as the barbarous Hottentot must come to Christ,
we lift our voice against his heretical teaelkingS."

road on the 17th came In collision with a wagon
and two horses, near Ilellertown. The locomo

but not injuring the horses in the least. Two men
wore seated In the wagon, and their escape from
death was a miracle. The employees of the train,
supposing that the men bad met with Instant
death, stopped the train and returned to the scene
of destruction In search of the bodies, when, to
their surprlie, they found them seated on the cow
catcher, where they had been thrown. One was
Injured considerably about the bead and the other
in the back.
A GIPSY FAMILY BADLY 111JRNED:=0II Fri

about a mile front Emus, carrying their tent,
poles, and other camping effects upon a push curt.
They at once made preparations to encamp for the
night, by erecting their tent. They called on a
near farmer and begged a lot of straw, with which
they bedded the datnpground inside of the tent.
After having partaken of their evening meal, the
famliy huddled closely in the straw to secure re
pose. They left a tallow candle burning, which
from some cause fell over during the night, and
before any of the family awoke to realize the ter_
tibia situation, the whole tent was a mass "of
dames. Their wearing apparel became Ignited,
and by the time they bad made their escape from
the burning garments some of them were very
badly burnt—so much that the entire party had to
boconveyed to the Poor House next day for medi
cal attendance. The husband was badly seared
and bliatered on Isle hands, legs and feet, and the
Wife hid' ll her garments burnt off ber person—in
fact, had nothing left to cover her nudity. A
neighboring farmer's wife next morning, however,
supplied her wants in this line. Two of the chil
dren were dangerously burnt, the others escaping

AN IMPORTANT REFORM.—The Board of
Control and Direction of Philadelphia have adopted
a reform In the governing of the public schools of
that city, in the following rule, which we com
mend to the attention of the &dool Directors of
this county :--
I=l
"The morning session of the Primary, Seconda
ry and Grammar schools, shall be devoted to re
citations by the pupils, and explanations , and in
structions by the Teachers. The'nfternoon ses
sion shall be given entirely to the preparation of
lessons by the pupils, under the erre and super
vision of the Principal and assisted teachers.
"Home study may be optional pith the pupils;
but shall not, in any case, be registry/ by the teach
ers. When text-books are taken home by the pu
pils, it shall be those only each day in which reci
tations have been prepared in Or afternoon for
the ensuing day ; no addition shall be made to the
lesson nssigned,on account of the bmk being taken
home. The True principal in not
how much, but how well." Short lessons are en
joined in all cases, and teachers prohibited from
using the text-book in recitations, except In
Orthography, Etymology, and Reeding."
In commenting upon this rule the Pennsylvania
School Journal, edited by Thomas li. .Burrowes,
closes its article with the following remarki
" rt. Is Impossibip to foretell the good (vaults of
this great school fbform, if fairly andltilly carried
into effect. It will rid the home of the whine and
worry, and comply - dot of getting lessons for next
'day, which are not in one meni ten gotten at all,
and not one in a hundred properlygotten. It mill
emancipate the scholar (rem the slavery and night
mare of tasked study and unprepared lessons. It
strips the school of that reptislveness which main
ly grows out of fear because of Inability to meet
its hard end often Impossible tasks.
: It will render
study pleasant, and lemming not only sound but
lovely, because there will le conscious progress
and Improvement in every step ; and finally It will
render pupil and teacher friends, because the. one
will.feel when the other beetmes his Instructor—
not task-master—that he is a benefactor.
"God bless the noble Board that has had the
common sense, the humanity, and the courage to
Initiate such a reform. We, know nothing of hu
man nature or mind nature,J a few years, under
this rule, do not make the schools of Philadelphia
as much of delight to her children as they now
are an honor to her authorities. After an, the
world does move."
TIIE ASSESSOR AND COLLECTOR OF TILE
Vint DISTRICT.—The appointments of President
Grant for these positions give general satisfaction.
The Pottstown Ledger, neutral, thus speaks of
them :
The appointment of Assessor was conceded to
our neighboring county of Lehigh, which is Joined
with Montgomery In the Sixth District. It falls to
the lot of Edward Rube, Esq., of Allentown, a
gentleman not persomilly known to us, but said to
be a good nian for the place. Ile Is about 38 years
of age, and Is n son of the late Hon. John F. Rube,
a prominent man In the old Whig party in Lehigh
who held the office of Associate Judge, Justice o f
the Peace, &c., for many years. The new Asses
sor Is a brother of A. L. Rube, Esq., formerlyone
of the editors of the Allentqun Democrat, who Is the
only Democrat In the Rube family, and said to be
the only one of the name that belongs to that
party, Mr. Rube the U. S. Assessor, is a brother-
In-law of Rev. J. 11. Dobbs, of Pottstown, the two
gentlemen having married eisters.• He was en
gaged In the hardware business at Areotown for
several years, afterwards became the proprietor of
the largest dry goods store In that city,
but at the
present time Is In the Insurance, Real Estate and
Banking business with Col. 11. Good, the new
Mayor of Allentown. lie has never held any pub
lic office with the exception of being a member of
the City Council of Allentown,. but has always
been an active and Influential politician. He Is
said to be a good business man, and well calculat
ed for the new position which Polsident Grant has
given him. He succeeds F. Z. Heebner, a gen
tleman who has filled the Assessorship very crcd-
stably for two or three years past.
Col.. John IL Breitenbach, of the Norristown
Bar, has carried off tho best prize In the gilt of the
President in this county. The Colonel is a native
of Lebanon county, having been born in Jackson
township, in 1830. He rend law with Judge Reed
at Carlisle, and graduated In the Law Department
of Dickinson College, in 1842. He removed to
Norristown In 1844, and continued in the practice
of his profession until the war broke out in 1881.
He then raised a company and proceeded to the
front as its Captain, being attached to the sth U.
8. Volunteers, which afterwards became the 106th
Pa.' Regiment. He was in the engagement at
Ball's Bluff where Col. Baker was killed, was with
Gen. Banks' army lu the campaign in the Shenan
doah Valley, served with McClellan's army In the
I Seven Days' Fight, and distinguished himself par
ticular at Savage's Station. He participated In the
Battles of Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville,
and was wounded lathe Battle of Gettysburg. He
was engaged in all the battles of the Rapidan under
General Meade, and also In the Wilderness, and
after the Battle of Spottsylvania, In which the
Colonel of the 100th was Mortally wounded, Col.
Breitenbach was promoted to the command sad
full Colonelcy of his Regiment. His whole mill
tary career was a highly creditable one, and his
appointment by the new administration Is a proper
tribute to his bravery as a soldier.
Col. Breitenbach was the Republican candidate
for Congress in this district last fall but was de
feated by the Hon. John D. Stiles. The only fault
we find with the Colonel is his persistency as en
old Bachelor ; but as It is never to late to do good,
we hope there is some chance for his becoming a
Benedict. He succeeds Dr. A. D; Markley, a pop
ular man and a good Collector.
