A Bummktuf \VAlt.—Lost week a party of Germans crossed the path of a bond of Irishmen, both of whom were traveling through the country In the capacity of bummers. Jealousy and hatred causes! recriminations, and these led to a deolara- Lion of war. Two battles were fought, the lust one ot Bethlehem, in both of which the Germans were defeatedm fter Mitch they took up their line of retreat to the Lehigh County Alms House, where, hcaring of the approach of the enemy, they pro vided themselvtts with razors and any other kind of weapons which would assist them In combat ting the for. On the Irishmen came, never dream lug of the doom which awaited theni.

We lave lately hail several troupe's of pro fessionat actors here, but we think we do not ex aggerate the opinion of the people when we ray the Color Guard Is universally regarded as the grandest performance ever given In Allentown. The sentiments of the play are patriotic and those who have not experienced the horrors of the late rebellion can never have abetter opportunity to witness In allegory the terrible experiences of the Boys In Blue. If the object of the author of the ploy, Col. Calhoun, had been to perpetuate the deeds of the brave defenders of our Union and to make us mludful of our duty toward them, he could not have been more 'successful. • Ile has stripped the play of,all partisanship by Introduc ing FartnerJohnson, a noble Democrat, who stood by the country In her hour of peril and gave Ms best blood to the cause.

RECOVERED. —TIIO team of Bloom Bros. was returned Sunday morning, It was found the next morning and taken care of by a farmer over In Salisbury, who, It is thought, was waiting for a reward, but If this was his object in keeping It so long he was disappointed. The horses were not Injured In any way, except possibly from being exposed to the weather, unprotected, over night. Since wilting the above we aro Informed that on Saturday evening a man named Laudenberger called et the stable of Bleam Bros., and asked what they would glee to know where their team was. This question subjected Laudenberger to a cross.examinatlon, but he was very loth to impart any Information until informed of the law respect ing estrays. Ile then acknowledged that the team was at hls brother's stable near Knerr's Mill. Laudenberger remarked that he heard at a vendue that a.roward of one hundred dollars had been of fered for the recovery of the team and that lie Caine right away from the vendue and would like Where the money. Mr. Bloom Informed him that hehad paid for the team once and did not propose to buy it again. Better started out for the team and found It at the place designated. Bo was Informed that the -horses bad been seen trotting along—not running —and were evidently trying to Gad the road home. At Knerr's ore quarry they passed around the ore washery and engine house four times, and passed upon the brink of n deep ore quarry. Linden bcrger found them, lie said, about five o'clock on Saturday evening, In an open •field, where they had beau for two days, exposed to the weather. lie took them to his barn end provided them with good quarters. Dotter found the horses In a bad 'condition, tired ang apparently hungry, and yet they refused to eat.

THE OIisE'ItVANCE LENT.—Ash Wednes day, the first day of Lent, fall this year on the 92d Inst. The following rules for the observance of Lent in the diocese of Pennsylvania have been issued by Bishop Wood : I. All the faithful who have completed their 21.1 year are bound to observe the fast of Lent, unless dispensed for legitimate reasons. 2. One meal a day only is allowed, except on Sundays. 3. This meal is not lobe taken until about noon. 4. On those days on which isermis , don is granted ci eat meat, both meat Slid 11 , 41 are not to b. used =I , A collntlou or part tut meal Is allowed in the ening. The general practice of pious Christians twits Its quantity to the fourth part °lan ordinary G. Bread, butter, cheese, fruit of all Ideas, sahids, vegetables and 110 are permitted at the collation. Milk and eggs are prohibited. 7. Custom has made it lawful. to drink in the morning some warm liquid, such as tea and coffee, or thin chocolate made with water. • 8. Necessity and custom have authorized the use of bird, Instead of butter,- in prefacing fish, vegetables, etc. U. The following persons are not hound to ob serve the fast, namely : All under tiventy•one years of age, the sick, pregnant women and those giving suck to Infants, those who are obliged to do hard work, and all .who, through weakness, cannot fast without Injury to their health. 10.

Persons exempted from the obligation of fasting by age or laborious occupation are not re strletetl to the use Of Meat at one meal only on those days on which Its noels granted by d'spen• satins. THE LATE INCENDIARY Pious.—The in. vestlgations which have been made in regard to the recent Incendiary tires In this city arc likely to result In the conviction and punishment of the parties concerned In them, and District Attorney Metzger and others who have taken charge of the matter deserve duo credit for the promptness and vigor with which they have moved In the matter. The boy Koons, who confessed to being present with Knauss when the attempt was made to burn Mr. Balliet's carpenter shop, has been rearrested and had a hearing before the Mayor at the Thursday. District Attorney Metzger appeared for the Commonwealth, and Edward Harvey rep resented the boy. The only witness examined was Emanuel Knauss, who was brought lu from his cell. The statements which were made by 'Knauss, and which he adhered to under cross i3xamination, implicated Preston Koons as con nected with himself in tiring the barns of Messrs. lingenbuch,.Weaver, Schnurman, and the ear-. penter shop of NI r. Butz. The fire at Ilagenbuch's set fire to Grim's, and the fire at Weaver's set lire to &titles's, and the barns were destroyed. In 13011111 Casco Knauss applied the matches and Koons kept watch, and in others the well: was excha aged. They seem to have been much together, and to hail: drunk a gond deal of n'hi.•ky which was fur nished by Knatlf9. Knauss says that they did not decide upon any place to burn beforehand, but In roaming around the streets they would select what they thought would be a good spot for ope rations. After hearing the testimony of Knauss the Mayon fixed the bail of Koons at $50t.10, and he Is still Itt jail, not having found ball. The conviction and punishment of these fellows trill be a good thing for the city, and' we hope we shall not be troubled with such wholesale Inuit diadem in the future. COUNCIL. Pitoctutprmis.—A stated meeting of Councils was held last week. la the Select Branch Messrs. Line, McLean, McNulty, Roth, Scherer, Sehtion, Wasscr, Weaver, Voting, and BoiTunin, President, were present.

Line handed lu his rerignation, but Councils refused to accept it. An ordinance supplementary, to an ordimince relating to nuisances was laid on the table. The petition of Thomas Strauss and Ed van) Fr:dike:llldd, citliens of Whitehall township, praying that the City Councils Include - the whole of their farina .within the city limits, was laud over.

CARELESS HANDLING Ols Saturday a young lad named Childs, of White Haven, while cleaning a revolVer at Alublenberg College, aceidentally inscharged the contents of ottc of the 1.11m.15, a•hicli took effect in the arm of a boy named Bauman, of Allentown. A surgcon was tolekly seta for who succeeded In extracting the ball. I bye nail, though a painful ono, Is in uo wh, dAngerots.., but had the hall entered an Inch farther down the boy would have lost his arm and possibly his life. They were students at the College and the governing powers there enjoined strict secrecy in regard to the allltlr upon the part of the students. It came to our ears, however, and though we would be pleased to second the desires of the faculty, we consider It our duty to make it public, hoping it may be another warning against the careless use of fire-arms, and may save others from more serious results. As it is, the newspapers are called upon too frequently to record similar casualties. One would suppose, from reading the papers, that gumpowder, fire arms, blasts, vie., were newly Invented, and that effects of certain causes were just now• being learnel by dear experience. THE PRESBYTERIAN M EMORIAL FUND IN CATASANUA.—Last Sunday was one ever to be rmembered by all who had the good fortune to be present at the services of the First Presbyterian church of this place. Immediately after the ser mon, the Pastor, Rev. C. Earle, announced that the Sabbath School of the Church bud long felt the needs of a building especially adopted tothelr - want ; that the Trustees of the Church had fully considered the matter and . approved of erecting such a building, which, when completed, wus to be considered as part of the contribution of this church . to the " Five Million Memorial Fund." Thu Pastor further stated that the Trustees had adopted a plan for a building to cost six thousand live hundred dollars ; this amount they bad di vided into thirteen hundred shares at five dollars each. The Secretary of the Board of Trustees then stepped forward, and after a short appeal from the Pastor, urging the congregation to sub scribe libit`rally to the stock, the bidding for It commenced. The scene was nosy one of thrilling interest. A veteran In Christ's army arose and said he wanted two hundred and forty shares, for himself and wife and daughter. Another big hearted man said he wanted the same nmoubt for himself and wife anti minor children ; another took seventy-five shares to be divided the same way; another fifty shares, followed by demands front all parts of the church for from one share upwards. One luau wanted forty shares for him self and wife, and live shares for each one of 1)16 seven children. It was universally regretted that' his family was not twice as large. It was soon announced that three shares - over the amount re quired for the above purpose bad been taken. Mr. John Williams then arose and stated that he earnestly hoped that now the unfinished spire of the church would lie completed, as of iginally do. signed, and paid for out of this fund. This was heartily agreed talky all present, and the bidding fur stock sins resumed. In the evening, the scene was renewed, and when the congregation wasdis missed, four less than fifteen hundred shares had been taken, amounting to almost seven thousand five hundred dollars. It has been our good for tune to see many hearty responses to appeals of this character in diflerent churches, but we never before sow an outpouring of money su spontane ous lis in this Instance. But few knew that an appeal was to be made, the weather was stormy, and many of the congregation were absent,but the matter was set so fairly before those present, the entcrpri,e commended itself as so worthy and so ner•es,ary, the geuerous example of leading toes in the church, and of some not members, proved so contauions that responees, proMpt and cordial, came from every side. And we never saw a peo ple who seemed more pleased to do a good thing, and who all this week scented so gratified and happy' over what they have done. It Is thought that seventeen hundred shares will have been taken before the close of this week.—roney Record. Matthew Halo Smill e New York correspondent of the Boston Jou 11, rends to that paper the following letter I Bard to matters at Bethlehem : Iu 1741 a company of that remarkable people, the Moraytans, commenced felling trees In an un broken forest, and laid the foundation for a oils sionary establishment, which has become cele brated throughout the world. They selected 'a beautiful spot on the bend of the river In Lehigh Valley, called It Bethlehem, in honor of the birth place of the Saviour, and have built up ono of the most beautiful towns In America. The stet arc called Moravians front the country of their found er. But they call themselves Unitas Fratrum -United Brethren. They are null-Catholic with out being Protestants. In their worship, they are a cross between Episcopacy and Presbyterians. Their service is liturgical one part of the day, and extemporary prayers are allowed. The ehureh has bishops us overseers, but Is ruled by a college of elders. In-missionary zeal, enthusiastic meet- . - - legs, much singing. and love-feasta, It resembles the Methodists. 'Wesley obtained from the MG ravlans those features of his sect In which they resetable this pscullar people. Their native lan guage is German, and one service a day Is held lu their mother tongue in Bethlehem. They have the neatness, quiet order, Industry and Built of Quakers. Indeed, Bethlehem resembles a mod ernized member of the Society of Friends, In which neatness and good taste blend. Like the 611.11011 CA, the Moravlans have every where paid great attention to education. The seminary at Ibithlehent is over a hundred years old. It Is church property, as Is everything else belonging to the fraternity in the town. The old Ft mmate stands, hat around It cluster huge build -111113 of modern device. The school accommodates 200 pupils. Everything is neat, but everything timin. The floors ore uncarputed, and the plicity of ancient times is maintained. A Bishop is principal of the school. A pupil on coming to tile school Is put into a family. The allotment is made according to age. in this family the pupil emains while in school. The family consists of tell 'pupils, with too teachers or companions. The teacher is Inseparable to the.class. In the commott inning-room each has n tattle and occupy it as a family. Each class has a common wash room and sleeping-room. They study togethur, walk together, together take their rvcreatlon, to gether attend church. This family system is the peculiar arrangement adopted by the Moravians. In the centre of the town, on a high eminence, stands the church, a huge cathedral-looking structure of fine proportions, ott tt commanding' site. Though built eighty years ago, there are few places 01 worship in the land more attractive. It will seat 151111 people, and has every modern elegance. Great attention is paid to UMW, which combines In the church, choir and congregational singing the tree rhapsody of Methodist melody, with the works of the great masters.' There are •co pastors In the church. The quaint furniture the olden thee is shown in the ante-rooms, where are piled up huge baskets which bold the buns used at love-feasts, for the love-feast of the M01%0'41118 e 0116161.13 not lu a nibble of bread, but what Its name implies—a feast. Originally this sect settled at Easton. Fearing that baine"s would come in, the fraternity left for the wilds. of the Lehigh Valley. Though very rich—owning the • better part of the town—the repute of the Muravlaus for thrift, temperance and beneficence of conduct, was no great that outsiders cum Id not be kept away. For years the work shops, stores and hotels were run by the fraternity. But the world cattle Mond the town Is now large, and rich and prosperous In the hands of those w ho do not belong to the Brethren. Lofty churches lift their spires in the midst of the settlement, and elegant mansions crown the hilltops that overlook the dwellings and publie buildings of the " Breth ren." Thu rule marriages tothe sect has 'been somewhat relaxed. The poor arc specially cared for. Instead of a common poor-house, quite a number of comfortable and attractive tenements shelter the poor, In which they are coin fortably maintained., Formerly the Brethren lived togeth. er like a colony of monks In whet was known as the Brethren's House. Tile Sisters' House Is still maintained. • Across the river, In what Is known as South Bethlehem, stands the University erected by the liberality of :11r. Packer. This gentleman gave half a million to found the University. The building Is of blue stone, occupying a lovely spot, tr itham area of seventy acres. The Institution Is far front popular. Last year it had eighty pupils, this year It has but forty. It Is the least attract. lye and more unclean than any educational insti tution I ever saw. Its hallwaysare unlighted and' dark as caverns. There is an air of neglect and want of cleanliness and order in all its depart ments that is not usually ficen in public institu tions. CIIEAV PAILI.OII OROANB.-A single reed 5 octavo organ at $9O.

SMALL PROFIT PRINCIPLE.—WO have just received a large lot of Prints at 6 and 10 cents a yard, and also a lot of Fringed Torols from 10 cents upward. We make unpretentious to selling goods without profit, and deprecate the system of selling a few leading articles at cost or less, to be paid for by additional profits on goods less staple, but we shall In all instances sell at uniform small profits. We resolved to buildup a valuable and honorable reputation, and arc determined to ex tend our trade In selling at a small advance on the lowest wholesale market rates. This Is our platform. We cordially Invite our friends to in crease their business with us, and those who are not now our patrons we urge to give us at least one experiment and be convinced. Respectfully, SCHREIBER BROS. ALMOST FROZEN.—A. friend sends us the following for publication :—lt is seldom we have an opportunity of going Into the country, but con sidering the "beautiful snow," and having our own team, we availed ourselves of a sleigh ride yesterday, all of which was hugely enjoyed until reaching a point on the old Reading road a short distance this side of Trcxlertown. Going along at an ordinary rate, such speed as humane horse men are likely to adopt, when reaching the point above'natned,and looking a short distance ahead, we saw several children whose ages ranged from five to seven years, standing in the middle of the road, and apparently to cheer us for the worst, their merry voices rang through the woods com pletely deadening the sound of the bells which girthed our noble steed. Gliding along nntll reaching the spot where a portion of the little band of children were standing, we noticed a fe male lying alongside of the road, apparently al most frozen to death. A manly form sat upon a heap of rails a short distance from the road. Upon Inquiring of the children as to wild the couple were and why here, we were Informed that they (the couple) were stragglers and were found by the children In the condition observed by as. Ragged, filthy, destitute of the means of life, whisky-perfumed breath and curses' upon, their HO, such wan the condition In which we found a couple of able-bodied human beings. A thought caused no to question the little ones no to their singing, when all, with one voice, replied that they thought it proLable to cheer up the poor souls by singing a hymn, and that they had Jact finished singing "Jesus, Lover of My So,1" a mo ment before. The little ones were willing to min ister to the wants of the needy couple, but their requests as to desires were unheeded. Falling to receive a reasonable reply from either of the cou ple, we drove on. The tender-hearted little ones remained. Such, kind reader, is the condition of many, yea, too many. Great God, why permittest Thou such a curse to rest upon Thy people 7 was a thought which flitted through our mind an we left the scene. • T. Squelches from A.
