Suthlcie Death

Presbyterian Concert—A Grand Success.
On Thursday evening last, the Presbyterian
Sunday School of this mare gave one of the most
Interesting entertainments to our citizens it has
ever been our pleasure to attend. It was gotten
up with great labor upon the part.of the commit
tee of arrangements and they were rewarded with
the most satisfactory evidence of appreciation—a
crowded house. Of, course, there were many
things during the performance which could be
criticised adversely, but when we consider the
fact that the performers were all amateurs and
that their services were volunteered, we cannot
speak of the entertainment In any other way than
as a triumph of our home talent which, as such,
afforded the greatest amount of. gratitication to
our citizens, and we venture to say not one out of
twenty of the Itinerant combinations that have
exhibited in our city of late yearn contained so
much real merit. The programtne opened with a
chorus sung by the powerful choir of the Lutheran
Church, conducted by that excellent leader, Prof.
errnian, and then followed a rccltatloa of the
Burial of Moses," by T. F. Emmens. John
Romig, Esq., then performed Marion Waltzes on
the violin, with a piano accompaniment by Miss
Tillie Romig. As our citizens well know, Mr.
Romig's powers as a violinist arc surpassed by few
professional performers In the country, and his
execution of these . waltzen was followed by deaf
ening applause. The programme was varied by a
luartette sung by Dr. Yeager and Messrs. Roeder,
Ganger and Ettinger, and then Mr. Emmens de
lighted the audience with a comic song entitled
"Simon, the Cellarer." Mr. Emmens made an
explanation at this point. The programme said
lie was to be accompanied by a chorus of two hun
dred voices, but they had found It impossible to
accommodate that number of performers within
the narrow limits of the stage and that the yokes
were scattered here, there and everywhere throngli
out the audience. With considerable humor he
legged the house to join In the chorus and assist
in fill ailing the programme. The venture afforded
inuth amusement. Prof. Brooks followed with a
ioneertina solo, displaying a skill and familiarity
with that on favored Instrument that brought forth
veet sounds which few would have believed
elonged to it. The music was enchanting and
is performances In both parts of the programme
.ere encored. Mies Lizzie Wood and Mr. Ettin-
.4er concluded the first part of the programme by
duett nn the piano, the " Overtnie from William
Tell." The instrument was not ,sulficiently pow
erful to do the performers Justice, but notwith
standing thut the execution of this most Moult
piece was exceedingly brilliant.
Part Second opened with the reading of "Scrooge
and Marley's Ghost" by T. F. YmmenB, who die
played in this a pleasant voice, the power of con-
ception of Characters and the art of keeping them
, eparate and distinct In the minds of his hearers.
We do not suppose that in reading this selection
Mr. Emtnens could creel Mr. Dickens, bat his
rendition of the story was very entertaining to his
audience, nevertheless. The only performer and
.ictor who did not appear also In the first part were
Mr. Warner and Prof. Phldgets. Mr. Warner
executed a delightful violin solo, entitled "Sounds
from Home." lied isplayed a rare skill, a softness
of touch and a sweetness of execution seldom
card. Prof. Midgets delivered a doubtful lee-
ture upon " Pyrrhonlstn, — introducing a variety
of illta npon local eubjecle which were greeted with
deafening, applauee.

The growing interest in boating us a good
form of exercise, has at last made Ito way to
Dickinson College. We are gratified to learu
that the so long contemplated pootsibitify of organ
izing a boat club at this institution has become a
readily. The members of the club have purchased
the fast sailing barge " Mystic," nud hope after
sufficient practice to be able to compete in the
race with many of the leading clubs of the country.
It is due to D. J. Myers, Jr., Class of '72 and a
member of the Crescent Club of Philadelphia, to
say, that It is largely owing to his efforts that the
club has been established. The barge is now
under the supercialon of the Zeta Chapter of the

An advertiser who knows his business ex

knows that he must catch the eve and secure the
attention of purchusets he would make the In

must snake his advertisements fresh, attractive,

taught to look at the advertising columns for fresh
and interesting mutter. Then, nguin, the judi
cious advertiser knows his best time. When busi

becomes dull, he seeks by conspicuous display of
special Inducements to purchasers; to stimulate It
Into activity. Ile reduces prices, and he enforces

A great deal has been said and done about
this popular, though senseless, song. The Phila

now claims the authorship of the "musical gem,"
to which rt, correspondent signing himself "Co.
K," In the Bethlehem Time, replies :—"The
above paragraph brought to my memory some
facts which may prove ton certainty that Charles
ton, S: C., may Justly lay claim to the origination
of the above song. The facts are these: While
the 47th Rev. r. V. Vols. were quartered in the
city of Charleston, in 1865, I was a clerk In the
Provost Marshal's omee, under Maj. Levi Stuber,
of Allentown. The Provost Guar Is were quar
tered at the Pavillion hotel, corner of Ilitzle and
Meeting streets, lu which hotel I heard the history
of 'Khoo Fly.' One evgoitjg no old colored wo
man, whom we called Aunty,' came in to sell
peanuts The guards were Whlstilug and singing
'Shoo Fly,' or some parts of It, when old Auntie
'went Up to one of them and said : Master, you '
must not sing mist song, dot am a bad song, for her
spirits won't rest.' Thin very naturally excited
my curiosity, and In reply to my question aim:to
who that spirit was, she told in substance the fol
lowing story : When the Union prisoners of war
were quartered In the Race Course lu Charleston,
It was her habit, with other colored friends, to
take food to the starving Union men. One day
they were caught throwing some corn bread over
the enclosure, when the, rebel guard ran hie bayo
net through her friend's breast. While she lay
I dying, under a blazing inn, myriadsof flies swarm
ing over her, she uttered, Shoo fly, don't bodder
me, for lam gobs' to h—l' These words were
set to music by a young colored man who lived or
worked on East Bay street, Charleston. This, Mr.
Editor, was old Aunty's' story of ' Shoo Fly,'
and I have no doubt It can be verified by others
belonging to the 47th Reglment i elther In Easton

$.80,210 66 having been paid elf by the Treasurer
the past year. The balance In the Treasury is
$65,781.* The amount 01 outstanding dues to be
collected by the county Is $100,230. If this sum,
together with the balance In the Treasury, was
applied to the liquidation of the county debt, there
would still remain In the Treasury a balance of
$10,014.

The Corresponding Secretary,
Lehigh County Sunday School Association,
Pont Office box 391, Allentown
SECOND STATED MEETING
NORTH WHITEHALL SUNHAT SCHOOL ASSOCIATION
HELD AT SCIINECKSVILLE, Feb. stb, 1570.
The Association came to order at noon and was
a very numerous meeting of teachers, parents
■nd the friends of the Sunday School generally.
Several visitors were preseut from Allentown and
took part in the discussiou. Ae will be seen from
the condensed report below great interest was
manifested and we doubt nut much good will re
sult. The first question for discussion: How
best to secure the attendance of the Parents I was
opened by Peter Gross, Esq., who said: This ques
tion In his opinion wan the most Important on the
list and he wished he could bring to it more abil
ity then be had the good fortune to possess. He
thought the ministers might materially ansist In
forwarding this object by encouraging and often
urging their congregations to attend the Sabbath
School and as example is generally more effective
than precept, it would be well for them with this
end In view to atieud more regularly themselves.
J. It. Knehner; Esq., thought that the ministers
should out be too severely censured an the arduous
duties they had to perform were of such a nature
au to consume the greater part of their time. It
wan the first duty of the minister of the Gospel to
attend to the high anti sutured duties connected
with his church, then if he had the Hine It would
be undoubtedly well for him to look after the
Sunday School, but they should not he censured
when the proper devotion to their dot ies gave them
no time to attend Sabbath School.
D. l'atf, Ego., adverted to the fact that parents
were generally ready to send their children to
Sunday School, when he thought It would he more
proper If they were to take them by the hand and
lend them there.
This result must be brought about by the Church.
Let the parent get the religion of Jesus Christ
there and he will lead Mel child to the Sabbath
School, there to drink of the wattr of Life.
Rev. J. W. Wood.—Men and women are like
chickens. If you throw corn on the ground they
ore sure to pick It up. Let the parents understand
that nt the Sabbath School there .Is something
good for them and for their children—Witt it is do
ing a good work 01111 they will come and visit It.
Let tile Superintendent of a Sabbath School be
punctual, always In his . place at the appointed
time. Let every• teacher study his lesson and not
be content with asking questions from a Question
book but really have knowledge to Impart. Show
the parents that teachers and Superintendent are
all working for the school, preparing themselves
by means of maps and commentaries—let them
see that It requires thought and real mental labor
and that they are not afraid to give that labor,
and the parents will be attracted towards an insti
tution so full of good purpose and wise, earnest,
energetic action, especially since it is brought into
operation for the benefit of the children near and
dear to the parent r t oat.
Another way wee to get the money or the par
ents invested In the Sunday School 'for their child
ren's good. GO to them and tell them how badly
It le wanted ; beg of them persistently ; don't take
" No" for an answer. We can have lots of face
to beg for the Sunday School cause—for the
little ones of Christ. Get a library in your school
worth two or three hundred dollars. Every one
who has subscribed for It will feel interested in
that. Get tae treasure of the parents In the Sun
day School, and their hearts would be there also.
Rev. Benninger endorsed what the last speaker
said. In throwing the corn or the attractions to
the pa'rente we must be careful to throw the right
once to attract their attention. There le not
enough taste for reading in our parents, and thin
le a difficulty we have to encounter. Another
difficulty is, the people are too stingy. They are
often willing that others should undertake the
expense as well as the trouble of the Sunday School
work. We must try to get the parents to attend
at least once, and then have the corn to throw
before them. Convince them there hi a wok for
them to do, and show them good reason for doing
it. Mr. J. Wiuk, of Ballieteellte, said, It was an
old saylag and a true one, that "as the twig was
bent the tree is inclined."' Educate the children
Into the Sunday School work, and when they get
old they won't depart from It. if you get the
lamb, the ewe will follow. Mr. T. F. Emmens,
of A IlentOwn, closed the discussion with a fie' re
marks ou the necessity of making the Sunday
School room en attractive place for parents as
well as for children. Let there be a clams of adults.
and parents and children study the Word of God
together.
HOW TO CONDUCT TEACIIINCe MCDTINGS
Opened by Mr. J. C. Welling. Mr. Welling
said, In his opinion teachers' meetings should be
held weekly. They should be of about an hour's
duration, and should be opened and closed with
devotional exercises. The meeting should be
conducted by one of the teachers, and the Snit
object should be to study the lesson for the suc
ceeding Sabbath. A class of the whole meeting
should be formed, and one asking, as lender, all
the questions. Free discussion of the lesson should
be indulged in, and after the lesson n discussion
on the library wants, the necessities of scholars.
The difficulties, etc., of teachers, might be talked
over. Ile thought a meeting conducted In this
way would be very prolltable to those who attended,
and a real blessing to the school. Rev. Henninger
thought the last speaker had very ably covered the
ground on thin subject. Ile thought It would, be
well for the Superintendent to be at the head of
the meeting. Mr. Wink thought parents should
be present at teachers' meetings. Mr. L. Recker
would say that while the good plan of a uniform
lesson fur the whole school was carried out, there
could be no better place for the Instructors to be
prepared than at teachers' meetings. Rev. J. W.
Wood made some very appropriate remarks on
Bible studies. The merchandise of the Bible was
better than the merchandise of gold and silver.
etNOAT SCIIOOI.
In the absence of the gentleman appointed this
subject was opened in a few pointed remarks by
Rev. J. W. Wood. Rev. Reuninger said there
was ton much music In our Sunday Schools that
would be more appropriate for a party of pleasure.
In our Sunday Schools we want the good old
church tunes. Let us have such music as parents
can join in. Ile expressed himself opposed to the
popular Sunday School masse of to-day. Our
children should be taught to read music from the
note book.
Mr. T. F. Emmens said, as he did not know one
note of music from another, he considered himself
peculiarly qualified to discuss this subject under
standingly. lie thought an acquaintance with
the art of music was not necessary to Its apprecia
tion. Nlusic was an emotional expression and It
should be as well calculated to express the emo
tions of joy, of gladness, as those feelings which
„are more uppropri tely expressed in solemn strains.
The majestythe power, the goodness of God are
not more plainly expressed in the sublime scenes
of nature than In the beautiful. God speaks to
the heart through the 'eye In the beauty and fra
grance of the wayside flower as certainly as In the
" cloud capped mountain," and Tie speaks through
the cur in the sweet strains of gladness ns really
us in the solemn dirges of woe. Ills experience
taught lihn that children tired of the long drawn
strains of the "good old tunes — and they would
not sing them. We want not only all the joyful
music that is usedln our schools but more of it.

?dr. Benninger replied and reiterated his former
statements.
Mr. J. Wink endorsed the remarks of Mr. Em
mens—they expressed his sentiments. Ile would
give expression to the joyous emotions of the soul
lu joyous strains.
Mr. •1. Gross said he would not quarrel with the
tunes, if the words were the words of prayer and
praise. Ile Instanced u sln h ing book used in their
sckool that probably the Rev. Mr. Benninger
would condemn. If there was anythlm , wrong
in such books, let us know what it Is unit not use
them longer, but if, no he contended, they were
joytul expressions of praise to God, then they
should not Ire attacked. He would have no obje,
tions to their learning church tunes, on the con
trary he thought It would be good for, them to
learn the church music and sing it In •the church,
but he saw no reason to rotate= the sweet music
of the Sabbath School.
Rev. J. W. Wood Wild old people were not gen
erally lit to make children's music. Ile would like
to have some of the children's music carried into
the church, as well as the church movie Into the
Sunday School. These children In our Sabbath
School will he our church members. In thin grow
ing ago the young idea is progressing. Music, as
every other science, undergoes change and often
improvement. He spoke of the aged, who remem
bered so distinctly the sweet songs of their youth,
and h warm and affectionate terms of his
aged mother, who in the trembling tones of age.
sang now the songs of her youth.
On motion the subject was closed.

WISTERN DISTRICT Or ARR.
•• • • VAN Brim, Ann., Jan. 28th, 1570
Correspondence of The Lehigh Replete,
The Dardanelle troubles are ended. Adjutant-
General Keyes Danforth, of Little Rock, who had
been ordered to proceed hither to makean investi
gation, 'organized two companies of State Guards,
who are to assist the civil officers in enforcing the
law. Parties lately from Dardanelle, state that
after the shooting of Jones, his body wan robbed
of watch, money and horse by Musteen, who, in
company with his brother and White, passed
through Lewisburg a day after the occurrence.
The Dover roughs started In pursuit, but failed to
overtake them, Below Lewisburg a colored man
had the misfortune of getting shot by. Mustecn's
gang. Several arrests were made, but all were
released. 'Last Wednesday evening the quiet of
this town was disturbed by a shooting affair, which
resulted lu the death of Mr. Morton. Ile had been
drinking rather freely, and about the middle of
the afternoon became very obstreperous, made use
of " very choice language," and brandished a re
volver in a defiant manner. James Brodie, a city
policeman, was ordered to arrest' him, and while
attempting to do so, Mr. Morton surrendered his
revolVer and at the same Instant drew another,
when Brodie fired, the bull piercing his heart.
Morton fired twice before he fell. , In five minutes
the city was full of armed men and for a time a
riot was anticipated. At one time I found myself
In a rather ludicrous situation, my bead being in
close proximity to the muzzles of several revolvers.
Mr. Brodie was exonerated, the jury returning a
verdict of justifiable homicide, but Morton's friends
were dissatisfied, and there was a disposition on
their part to obtain possession of his body and
wreak theii vengeance on him. At their request
a new warrant of arrest was issued by Sheriff Au
demon, but Brodie, anticipating their intentions,
sloped. All Is quiet to-day and business, which
was suspended for a while, Is resumed.
An important arrest wan made here on the 20th
lost. A person by the name of Bell alias Dwyer,
for whom a reward of four thousand dollars was
offered by the Masons of Texas, for the murder of
a sheriff, was recognized by Mr. Shannon, jailor
at this place. The'prieoner. was stopping at the
Planter's House fora few days, and at the time of
his arrest was snugly ensconced in the Fayetteville
stage, and but for the timely arrival of the officere
of the law, he would still be at large. He will
start for Texas lu a few days, and will be escorted
by a body-guard of resolute men.
Some time since the tobacco matinfactoties of
Major E. C. Boudinnt and Bostick and Ryan, were
seined by order of Gen. McDonald, for alleged vio
lation of the Intercourse Law. They had been
manufacturing tobacco In the Cherokee nation,
without paying any revenue tax thereon, and kept
a number of pennants In Texas lend this State
supplied with the weed. The case was tried be
fore the Commissioner nt this place. All the
parties interested have gone to Washington and
the result of the Investigation wl'l he made known
lu the course of n few weeks. Major Boudinot
Is an Indian and served iu the Confederate army.
Ile is a fine talented man and a very able lawyer,
but his countenance bears an expression of wild
ness peculiar to the red man.
Complaint was made to Commissioner Brooks
that a certain 11. Comstock had violated the In
tercourse Law by giving whiskey to nn Indian.
He resides nine miles from hero. Deputy Marshal
McLemore and myself were ordered to arrest him,
which delicate work we performed without. any
difficulty. The country through which we passed
was very billy and roe y, and covered with •
thick growth of timber. OCCtIRIOIIIIIIy we passed
an old cabin, almost ready to fall over, and the
yards, If I may call them such, presented a ne
glected appearance.
Some of the womemwere sad looking specimens
of humanity. Their chief delight In dipping snuff.
I chanced to hear an Indianian make Use of the
following expression:—" Should I be captivated
by one of these Southern Beauties, andascertaln,
when too late, that she had habituated herself to
the oftensh : e practice of dipping snuff, I would
kick her out of the house." In justice to Van
Buren, however, I must state that as far us my
observation extended, her female population does
not use tobacco in any manner. The colored
population of this place is well represented.
They all take a great deal of interest in the cause
of education, and erected a school house at their
own expense. It is a tasty and convenient edifice
and would be a credit to many northern towns.
The school is taught by Miss Mettle Jarvis, of
Ohio. who, like every other nigger teacher, is the
subject of a greet many abusive remarks.
I start for the In,thin Nation to-morrow•. Will
give you ti eketelt Of my trip on my return.
