A Mean Thief.
The meanest thing we have heard of I n some
time was the theft, by a miserable scallawag, of
the emblems of mourning hanging outside of the
house of Mr. William Stuber, in this city. The
poor wretch,was seen and stepped, and compelled
to give up his plunder, and after being admen
tatted was allowed to depart.
Religious
The Rev. J. W. Wood is preaching a series
of sermons on the Patriarchs. Ills sermons for
Sunday evenings aro very popular. The very
agreeable and lucid manner and matter of the
preacher are drawing crowded audiences on Sun
day evenings at the Presbyterian church on Fifth
street.
Presentation
Tho ladles of Rev. J. F. Palm' congregation
presented bis wife with a Binger Bowing Machine
last week. Them presentations to our pastors
and their families aro encouraging evalenees of
the regard felt by our people for them. It
is always a good sign to see ministers growing
In popularity and shows unmistakably that the
pastors are faithful and the people are apprecia
tive.
Entertainment
Jordan Division of the Bons of Temperance
are to give an entertainment in the Court House
on the evening of Tuesday, the 22d of February.
The programme is to include dialogues, recita
tions, music, etc., and the admission is to be only
25 cents ; children 15 cents. ,The proceeds are to
be devoted to the Division, which is doing a good
work among us and numbers many earnest mem
bers, who can at least claim the merit of earnest
ness and an unselfish desire to do good. We hope
they will have a full house. Tickets can be had
at the stores of C. 8. Massey, Durdge & Co., and
F.. Moss.
Lecture on the Devil
On Saturday evening a numerous audience
assembled in the Court House to hear what might
be said about the Satanic majesty, and for an
hour and a half his majority of them patiently
listened to a sermon made up of scriptural (peti
tions, the various opinions of commentators con
cerning the Devil, and a tirade against witchcraft,
witebllnders, diviners:and dreambooks. The rev
erend gentleman stated the subject was not of his
choice which is probably the reason why he did not
stick to It. Ills remarks on the absurdity of be
lief in omens and other superstitions had the
merit of truth and as there arc yet a good many
persons who go to the " spay woman" in this vi
cinity, they might not be altogether out of place,
but WA believe all this was net exactly what the
audience come to bear. To point out a vice, a
folly, or a superstition, and say briefly the" Devil
Is in it," is not the way to enlighten your neigh
bors on the subject of " the Devil" and is rather
to lecture on the works of the Devil than the Devil
himself i We have before no a rather full report
of the lecture, but AB we do not think it would be
of interest to our readers, we content ourselves
with noticing one idea that was advanced on Sat
urday night. It was stated, that man was crea
ted to supply the place the devils fell from In
Heaven. This Ingenious idea Is perfectly new to
us and as it would account in some degree for the
malignity and spite of the devil against the whole
human race we recommend it to the careful
consideration of those who desire to perplex them
selves.
Hotel Accommodations in Allentown
Poor hotels aro very bad things for a town
to possess. They are rather endured as." neces
sary evils" than supported, and strangers always
hurry through business and often neglect pur
chases that might detain them, on purpose to es
cape a longer Indiction of half-cooked victuals,
.ebeerless rooms, uncivil, careless attendance (or
no attendance at all), and the hundred and one
evils that have to be endured at Med libels on
modern caravanserbos. While poor hotels get
town a bad name, stand In the way of the trans
action of business and impede the growth of it,
the reverse can be said of good ones, and we are
glad to know that Allentown Is rapidly regaining
its old reputation for good hot'el accomtnodatisM;
a reputation that was won for it in the days of the
late John Y. Bechtel: The Improvements at the
Allen Rouse and the liberal spirit displayed by
the proprietor, Mr. Robert Kramer, In catering for
his boarders and guests, have not been without
their effects. Strangers are going there because
traveling men tell each other of everything new
and good for the accommodation of the traveling
public. Transient custom at this house has In
creased and is increasing daily, and we are glad
to see It, especially as it surely will wake up the
spirit of enterprise among our other hotel keepers,
who will have to hurry up or be left far behind
With this spirit in view the American was also
repainted and reconstructed daring the past year.
We have no wish to make any Invidious distinc
tion but merely to call attention to the fact that
.enterprise and liberality In this direction are meet
.log their reward In public patronage. We shall
.be glad to have to call attention to any Improve
ments elsewhere, for we consider every one who
is offering additional Inducements to travelers to
stay in our city by looking well to their comfort
her., Is deserving of the thanks and the notice
and patronage of the !mine's community.
State of Trade
The pea-nut market is in an improving con
dition. Prices rule steady and the demand Is In
creasing.. The total receipts of anntis on Monday
was we tons, consigned to several dealers. ,
Loans Hord
Thu regular monthly meeting of the A.tner
lean Building Association wag held at the °filen of
Wro. ii. Deghler, Egq., on Monday evening labt,
and ten loans were gold at n premium of SUB emit.
Mayor'B OAT
A. charge of blackmailing preferred against
a police officer has lately been Investigated at the
Mayor's office. We are told this practice has
existed for some time, and we are glad to know
that the Mayor Is determined to put a stop to it.
Dog Burned
We hear a dog perished in the flames at the
burning of Mr. Quier's barn. The poor animal,
bewildered by the smoke, run Into the flames in
stead of away from them and "steered his bark"
where it perished for ever.
A Palptable Cure for Sore Throat
A. personal friend of the Beading Times says
that the nee of oranges le an excellent remedy for
putrid sore throat. There appears to be some
thing In the character of the acid of the fruit
adapted as a remidial agent in this disease. The
cure is very simple, and certainly demands a trial.
Presentation to Rev. N. S. Strassburger
A Communion Service was presented to
Rev. N. S. Strassburger at his residence, by the
scholars of the Reformed Sabbath School, (Zions),
on Saturday evening. Mr. Grosseup, one of the
teachers of the school made the presentation
speech, which was responded to very appropri
ately. Addresses were made by the Messrs.
Koons, students of Muklenberg College, and the
Choir discoursed some excellent music. A very
agreeable evening was spent, end the interchange
of kindly sentiments had the usual alert of mak
ing every one feel better and.happler.
A Splendid Piano.
Linderman dc Son's' Gold Medal Cycloid
and Square Pianos rank among the finest
Instruments In the country. Their brilliancy
and fullnees of tone Is not surpassed by a concert
plied plano at double the price. More Instru
ments of this celebrated make have been sold in
Allentown, Lehigh and adjoining counties than of
any other manufacture. They can be used many
years and not become airy, as most other pianos
do, In only a few years. Come and examine them
at C. F. Iferrmannl Store, Seventh and Walnut
streets.—Ada.
Lehigh County Priaon
The Inspectors of the Lehigh County prison
held a meeting on Monday and appointed Mr.
Thomas Jacoby, Warden, and Mrs. Sarah Jacoby,
Matron. Mr. and Mrs. Jacoby will commence
the active duties of their respective offices on the
Ist of April. , A reduction of 15 cents per bend per
day is to be made In the sum allowed for boarding
the prisoners and at an average of twenty pri
soners, $3 per day will be saved. If the number
of prisonors in the prison throughout the year
should come up to this average, the present ar
rangement is undoubtedly a more advantageous
one for the county than the old system of allow
ing arty cents per bend, for boarding earl, pri
soner.
Golden Wedding
One of tho molt pleasant things that "ye
local" has to report Is the recurrence of such an
anniversary as a Golden Wedding. Fifty yenta
of happy wedded life have passed away for our
respected townsman Melchisedee Yeager and Ills
wife, and on the third of this mouth they received
the congratulations of their numerous friends.
Their children, (grown to men and women) gath
ered around the aged pair and though all of them
could not be present, the family reunion was a
large one. We trust that they may be spared for
many years and that the . happy scene that trans
pired on Thursday week may be the most misera
ble they will ever have to participate In while yet
they "linger here." We could wish that ouch
gatherings could be of more frequent occurrence
and that our young folks might be emboldened to
enter the State of matrimony early In life.
Presbyterian Sunday School
A meeting of the teachers of this school
was held In the Lecture Room on Sunday after
noon. After the monthly concert exercises Mr.
Foster, In the absence of Mr. Bridges, chairman
of the entertainment committee, announced that
the receipts of the entertahnent, given in the
Court Rouse, en the evening of February 2d,
amounted to $202, and the expenses to $65, leav
ing a balance in hand of $137 for the Sunday
School fund. On motion the report of the com
mittee was accepted and the committee discharged.
A committee was appointed to select the library
books and empowered to incur what additional
expense was necessary to make the library com
plete and good. Committees were also appointed
to select s new singing book and to purchase a
parlor organ, lu place of the melodeon now
used In the school. The exercises in the Sunday
School wereattended by n large number of visitors,
parents and friends of the teachers, and the man
ner In which the "little ones" recited and sang,
elicited the admiration of all present and reflected
great credit on their teacher Miss Magruder. The
prosperous state of the school and the lively In
terest token in It by the teachers, must be very
gratifying to the members of this church.
Mr. Asehbach's Xeir Map
We have had the pleasure of Interviewing
Mr. Aschbach this week, and have been shown the
new map of the City of Allentown, which has cost
Man so many years of patient labor, and has now
been brought nearly to completion. The tirFt
Idea that strikes one who looks at this map is the
wonderful faithfulness and minuteness of detail
with which the work has been executed, and :is
the eye loses itself is the mazes made by eleva
tion lines" crossing the map in various directions,
tise observer can well understand how the labor of
fourteen years can have been spent upon It.
The highest point on the map le at the extension •
of Linden street, near Griesemer's woods, and Is
175 feet above the Lehigh. This should be the
point of the future Allentown Water Works, atul
as the elevation of every piece of property in the
city and on the extended street line le shown, any
one can see at a glance (for Instance) what pres
sore would be necessary to carry the water up to
the second or third stories of the houses In the
different localities. It is allowed on all hands
that this map Is the completest thing of he kind
that has ever been attempted here, and It can be
safely said that no city authorities In this State
have ever had offered to them a map so useful
and so good.
A member of the city council pointed out some
time ago the nse that could be made of this map
In grading and laying out new streets and extend
ing those already laid out, and it would be a good
thing for the council to decide at once upon the
sites of the squares and streets in that portion of
our city not yet lull out, that this work of Mr.
Aschbach may be rendered as complete as possi
ble. Our city councils have made an appropria
tion of $6OO to furnish maps for the use of the
city and to hung In 'ale public buildings, and there
are about 160 subscribers at $lO each.
The outlay on the map has becu fourteen years
of skilled labor and the cost of surveying. To
publish 200 copies will cost $l2OO. The city
councils $5OO and $2OOO for. 200 copies foot up
$2,500. Compare this with the outlay, and we
shall see what kind of a chance Mr. Aschbach has
to be adequately remunerated. He'llas a right to
look for the subscription of every one who can
afford It, and diet not as a favor, not given grudg e ',
Ingly, hut as fair wages for fair work performed in
the Interests of the whole community. It is not
so much the monetary loss as the lack of appreci
ation that hurts a man of talent and skill In such
a ease an this, and we would strongly urge it upon
the public not to let a work of real merit be or
gleeted, but rather to substantially show their
5
appreciation.
The Map may be seen at Mr. Aschbach's race,
on Walnut street, near the Collega, and It Is well
worth the while of any one to call In, and looklnes
at It, Judge for themselves of the result of Me
labors.

sonic net, and in consequence of not receiving a
general co-operation we did not have a general
meeting„ which caused unavol:able delay until
too late In Spring for Importing birdti, and when
oar Secretary arrived at New York tho supply was
limited ton few European Sparrows, of which he
procured seven and a half pairs, at an expense o(
$32.50. We are of opinion that the Sparrows al
ready on hand, and their rapid increase, will soon
populate the country In sufficient uumbers, as It is
estimated therenre already about one hundred in
this vicinity. The committee, however, are of
opinion that other foreign birds should be pro
cured, and If the Society thinks proper, your com

of which we respectfully submit.

that It is the cordon of those Individuals to en

bestow It upon the Democratic newspapers. We
would, therefore, remind those who wish to ad

attend to the matter themselves. We have all
