THE SMALL Pox.—We hear reports of nu
merous cases of small pox In this city, most of
which are without the slightest founds lion.
Measics must not be mistaken for that disease.
There is every reason for vaccination, cleanliness
and other precautionary measures, but no cause
for cowardice. We don't consider small-pox any
more alarming than a:, epidemic of typhoid fever,
which prevailed here last winter and spring.
Since the shove was written ca re Gil inquiry has
developed the Information that not !note titan one
case has appeared in the city. Physicians who
have been reported In attendance on small-pox
patients deny having seen a vestige of the disease.

RELlOlOl7B.—The Episcopal General Con
vention which met In Baltimore has formed a new
'diocese; which is to comprise all of Pennsylvania
lying east of the Allegheny Mountains, with the
exception of Philadelphia, Chester, Bucks, Dela
ware, and Montgomery counties. This new dio
cese will commence its existence on November 1,
and Bishop Stevens has called a convention to
meet at Et. Stephen's Church, In Harrisburg, on
the Sat prox., for the purpose of effecting an or
ganization. The new diocese will include nearly
eighty parishes andover ninety min inters, and em
brace a population of about 1,500,000.
The Methodkt denomination was a very heavy
loser by the Chicago Ore, and are now preparing
to rebuild all their churches that were there de
stroyed. To further this inttntion a general meet
ing of Philadelphia Methodists was held to Arch
street church on Tuesday evening last, whets It
was unanimously determined to raise $40,000 In
Phil oielphia and vicinity for this purpose, and a
very strung committee, of which Thomas Price,
Esq., is the chairman, was appointed to receive
subscriptions. There will be another general
meeting to forward the above Interests, held in the
Fame church on next Tuesday evening, when ad
dresses will be made by Bishop Simpson, Rev. Dr.
Fowler, of Chicago f and Rev. Dr. Eddy, of Bahl-
Mere.
Tor. COAL TRADE.—The Mauch Chunk Coal

over hoth railroads, and the canal, Elnee the first

and the present year with corroffponding slates of
last year, on find an Increase fur the neck 1671 of
35,718 oe2 tons, and a decrease for the present year
:;:.0,011 11 tons. .
The coal trade during the past week has
con
tiuucd in the same dead condition that has pre•
called fur . .toillc time past, and prices have still
diMSWAI'd tendency. Coal has only sold at quota
minus lo lho-c NOM were coin pet led to buy fur 1111-
URA:IIe consumption. Notwithstanding the fact
that canal navigation is drawing raplely to a close,
and the cuttainly of higher freights ruling soon In
consequence, city buyers continue to hold off.
Many have been walling until.after the Scranton
sale for this Month, and it Is to be hoped that the
trade will now develop a more healthy state. Many
expect it good market from now on to the close of
the year, and we sec uu• good reason why such
should not be the case, especially in this region.
City dealers have very little stock on band. What
they have Is principally Schuylkill, mid the fur
naces.throughout the valley, with very few excel'.
tioas, have but little coal. As all the furnaces
are going on with a good demand for their product,
they will doubtless require large quantities of coal,
and line trade will at all events be good.
EXAM INE YOUR INSURANCE POMMEL—Ono
of the main and most prolific sources of litigation
in regard to recovering insurances, Is the neglect
of the insurants to properly examine theirpolicies
at the time they receive them - from the hands of
the Insurance company or Its agent. Tho Balti
more Underwriter says: " Having confidence In a
company or Its agents, and presuming that the
companies make it their business, in the .prepara
lion of their contracts, to see that the prOvitrions
and specifications are honorable and equitably
drawn, they quietly stow away ❑h their safes or
desks the documentary evidence of the transac
tion. We have known men of a legal torn of
mind, and of strict business habits, pursue this un
thinking course ; men who, In other directions,
would scorn the slightest indications in their con
duct of carelessness or neglect. More than this,
we can point to men who cannot tell in what com- .
panics either their lives or property are insured.
Aside from any distinct recognition of the fact
that they have taken such prevention, the most
they can say In, that such and such an agent In
sured them. The agent Is a personal friend not
personally dinintereated lu hls action, but, of
course, not recreant enough to friendship to re
commend a company that is not first-class. COll

other people, they are no better 1" The article
concludes wills earnest advice to policy holders, to

In order to ascertain whether they do not contain

THE LEHIGH REGISTER, ALLENTOWN. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1871.
THOSE IRRESPONSIBLE PARTIES who origi

by strains of music, something quite unusual. in
our quiet streets. And what was our pleasure
when told that the Allentown Band was the cause
of our surprise. The Good Will boys,in company
with your excellent baud, have paid us a visit and
we only regret that we have uo regularly organ

that hearty welcome known only among firemen.
The Allentonlans, with the Vigilants and a band
from York, climbed rocky Round Top, rambled
over other portions of the battle field, and visited
the Natkinal Cemetery and the Katalysine Springs
during the day, and returned to partake of a good
supper at Col. Yale's hotel In the evening. The
supper being over we were again treated to rare
music and a parade, through the streets. I am
happy to say that all so conducted themselves as
to insure a cordial reception should they ever re
turn. The people were delighted with the music
and many were the plaudits that your baud re
ceived. Not a few were the boquets and smiles
given by fair ladles. We beard many say "What
floe fellows they are." Truly, Allentown can be
proud of such stalwart men, who so effectually
protect her from the ravages Jf lire. We thought
we heard many a "college widow" "Oh, for
such a bean." The march through our streets
forcibly reminded us of the stirring days of 'O3,
when these rugged hills were shaken by the heavy
tread of war. In conclusion allow me to COM:rat
flute you that you can boast of such a tire com
pany and such a band. • CANDOR.

SAD ACCIDENT IN SCOTT.—On SALM h
evening last, an accident occurred In Scott town
6111p, which has thrown the whole neighborhood '
Into mourning. The scene of the accident Is a
place called Finney's pond, near Kerry's corner.
The facts arc us follows: Jolts Gordon and James
Gordon, brothers, accompanied by their wives,
had been spending Sabbath evening at the house
of a friend. They prolonged their visit until late,
their residence being only a short distance away,
and there being beautiful moonlight to guide them.
To reach their home they had to cross an arm of
the pond mentioned ; and the party Cot Into an
old Hat bottomed boat, which was used to convey
the neighbors backward and forward. When
about half way across, the boat by some means
was capsized, and the whole party were drowned.
The occurrence having taken place so late, there
was no one in the neighborhood aware of It. No
one beard their cries for help,and their drowning
struggles were witnessed by none but the vic.ime
themselves.' The accident became known the nest
morning, and for miles around the people crowded
the scene. After dragging for' some time the
bodies were discovered at short distances front
each other. The water-proof cloak of James
Gordon's wife was found wrapped around him,
showing that In the struggle for life the garment
had got tangled around hint, and perhaps paral-
Ized hls efforts to save both of them. The men
were well-to-do farmers, and they, with' their
wives, were highly respected. The accident has
thrown a gloom over the entire community.—

POLITIPAL.—Dit. ACKER GIVES HIS VIEWS
L'I'ON AN IMPORTANT SEIM:CT.—We copy the fut.
Mwing from the Norristown Register:—
We have good authority for saying that In case
the nomination for Congressmext year,is conceded
to this county, C. W. Cooper,Esq., Cashier of the
Allentown National Bank, will be a candidate for
nomination on the Democratic ticket. We have
11160 heard the name of Col. M. 11. Horn, Cashier
of the Catasauqua Natidnal Bank, mentioned in
this connection, but it Is not known whether Col.
Horn would consent to have his name used or not.
So says the LEntoti REGISTER.. Should Mont
gomery county be connected with Lehigh county
in the next Congressional apportionment, Mont
gomery county will be entitled to the nominee, and
no Democrat In Lehigh county ought to be, or
think of being, a candidate for the position. This
was the clear understanding. Ten years ago, when
Hon. John D. Stiles had served two years In Con
gress from the Lehigh and Bucks District, In order
that he might have his full term of four years,
which we believe had been the custom in Lehigh
county, Montgomery yielded and gave the first two
years of the apportionment to Lehigh coutdy. This
gave Mr. Stiles his fenr years or nearly no, he hay
ing been elected to fill Dr. Cooper's vacancy, who
died a short time after he was elected. The next
four years went to Montgomery; the next two
years to Lehigh, (the agreetneut being that Le.
high should have four and Montgomery six years
of the ten) and the last two to Montgomery, whit
the understanding that If the two counties con
tinued together that Montgomery county should
have the first two years of the apportionment com
mencing from the fourth of March, 1573, so ns to I
allow Montgomery her usual custom of four years
to the Congressmen from her county. Thus the
question is settled, and Moutgotnery county will
claim the first two years of the new apportionment
no matter with what county she la connected and
It may as well be understood now that this will be
insisted upon and any attempt to Interfere with 011 4
her just due, would only result in practically mak
ing a nomination elsewhere of no value whatever.•
Montgomery county cannot be connected with any
county or district In which, forming the larger
portion of the district, site will not be clearly en
titled to the candidate and a Democratic candidate
she toill hare. No political jugglery or chicanery
will deprive or cheat her of her just dues. That
may be
. act down as a fixed fact. Montgomery,
county tins always acted squarely with every coon
ty with which she has been connected and has
given her full support to the candidate whether
front within her own borders or from the county
with which she was joined, and will be acted
squarely with In return. This la the whole matter
in a nut-shell.

MR. WILLIAM CUMMINGS, of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad, one of the best—natured conduc—
tors that ever pulled a bell—rope, was taken coin—
pletely by surprise Friday evening, by a large
number of friends, who paid him a visit on the
occasion of the tenth anniversary of his marriage.
Every individual present seemed, for the Limo be—
ing, to have trausferred himself into a traveling
tin shop. Kettles, dishes, buckets, and the thous—
and and one articles used in the household, were
showered upon him In such profusion that it was
feared at one time that an additional building
would have to be rented, lu which to store the
goods. The company were handsomely enter—
tained, and at a late hour steeled foe their homes
with many kind wishes for. the future welfare of
Mr. Cummings and family. —Easton Express
Conoco 0 P EN I N a . Trinity Episcopal
Church at Easton was opeped for Divine wore hip
with the regular services of the church, Sunday.
Right Rev. Win. Bacon Stevens, Bishop of the Dio
cese of Pennsylvania, officiated, assisted by a num
ber of prominent Divines. The Bishop preached
both morning and evening, In his usual beautiful
and eloquent oratory, and lu the evening service,
at confirmation, ho remarked that this would be
his last official act In this, the new, Diocese. Rev.
Dr. Beasley, many years ago Rector of that Par
ish, gave a history of the organization of Trinity
Church, in the course of which he stated that the
church was organized by Hon, Samuel Sitgreaves
and Mr. Dalby,'who met together in earnest prayer
and laid the foundation of This prosperous congre
gation. Trinity Church, under the auspices of its
present popular Rector, Rev. J. Sanders Reed, has
made rapid progress and he has cause for congrat
ulation upon his success In this field.
Them;.—The dry goods trade in this' city,
this year; probably has not been what it should be.
Payments In many branches are held back from
various causes,which produces a scarcity of money
and this hese good bit to do In delaying purchases
for the winter season. In the farming districts,
too, money is scarce, the farmers having not yet
had time to turn their products into cash. In a
few weeks, It Is the belief of those who have sult
riest knowledge to judge, the farmers will be bet
ter supplied with money . and as they buy only
when they have the cash to pay for their purchases,
a good season may yet be anticipated. The pres
ent prices of goods are low, much lower than new
stock can be sold for a month hence. The jobbers
In the wholesale centres believe that their trade
will hang on until late In the season. If the Chi
cago rim creates the demand for goods that Is an
ticipated the limited supply on hand will compel
an increase in prices. Consequently, the belief is,
that those who have the money can save on their
purchases by buying now.

A FURNACE FOR MILLERSTOWN.
THE FIRST MEETING IN FAVOR OF
. THE PROJECT.
ITS PROBABLh', CO.VSUMMATION.
For many years past, probably as far back as
the memory of the oldest inhabitant extends, the
village of Millerstown has enjoyed an extended
trade, reaching down into Montgomery county and
drawing valuable patronage especially from that
section around Peunsburg. The Iron monster of
the rails proposes to invade those precincts which
have adhered closely to the ruling of olden dines,
and while the completion of the Perkiomen Rail
road will build up the country through which it Is
to pass, increasing the population, creating a de
mand for building materials and merchandise, It
will derange the course of trade and turn that now
going to Millerstown Into other channels. It Is
not certain how soon the railroad Is to be built,
but to prepare for any emergency the people of
Millerstown have seen the necessity for doing
something to increase their importance as a town
and as a business community. Therefore a move
ment bits been made to get up a Furnace Company
and in pursuance of this project a general meeting
of the citizens of that place and vicinity was hell
at the public house of ['firm Danner, in Millers
town, on last Saturday even ing. The attendance
WIN encouragingly large and after considerable
conversation upon the subject, the meeting was
organized by the election of the following gentle
men as temporary officers : President, Janice
Singmaster ; Treasurer, Frank S. Slimmer ; Secre
tary, J. F. M.Shltfert. After taking the chair the
President, Mr. Singmaster, addressed the meeting
and made a few suggestions of what would be ne
cessary to be done at the ilrst meeting, whereupon
the following resolutions were proposed and
adopted :
First, That a Furnace, Company be formed
under the name, style and title of the Millerstown
iron Company, to he located at or near the Bo
! touch of Miller:town, county of Lehigh, Pennsyl
vania.
Second, That three suitable persons he chosen
a committee to act as agents for the Company,
with lull power to contract for laud in the right of
said furnace company, In or near sold borough.
Third, That a committee of twenty be chosen
and duly authorized to take subscriptions to the
capital stock of said company to the amount of
Tice thousand shares or fifty dollars cacti.
Fourth, That a cotinhittee of three hn appointed
to prepare an net, to be submitted to the Company
for approval at a subsequent inecting„for the in
corporation.
Fifth, That a committee of three be appointed
to prepare by-laws for the government of said
company.
Sixth, 'Phat the above committees shall attend
to their ditties Immediately and shall report at the
next meeting,
On motion adjourned, to meet again next'flairs
day evening, Nofember 2d, when all parties In
terested are respectfully invited to be preeent.

resolution was re—committed, at the close or yes—
terday's pr , ceedings, reported back the resolution

the following recommendation:
The committee to whom was referred the subject
of the pertnanunt endowment of Franklin and Mar-
shall rollo!ze an bronCht to the attention of the
Synod at session on Thursday evening, thelikb
lust., by the President and members ofa committee
of the Board of Trustees of said college, would
respectfully report:
I. That being fully convinced that the welfare
and prosperity' of the Reformed church depend lu
a very great measure on the success of our Theo—
logical Seminary and of the college with which it
now stands so halmately connected, and on which
It must chiefly depend for a supply of studentsove
Flo most heartily approve of the efforts now being
made by the Board of Trustees of Franklin and
Marshall college to secure an endowment adequate
to the successful operation of the college, and such
as the growing wants of the church Imperatively
require, and which the Increasing prosperity- and
multiplying numbers and wealth of our member-
ship would ECM to ren(L.r of easy attainment ;
and
2. Believing that the plan of the Board cannot
be successfully carried out without the sympathy,
support and hearty co—operation of the church,we
do affectionately commend the said plan of perma
nent endowment now presented by the Board of
Trustees of the college, with an offer of free tuition
to such Individuals or sections of the State or
States within the bounds of the Synod as shall
subscribe and pay such sums of money ns may be
required or proposed by such Board of Trustees, to
the earnest consideration of all our pastors and
people, and urge upon all the members and friends
of the church to cordially receive any agent or
agents that may be sent among them for the pur
pose of securing endowment of the college, and
bespeak for the same wwarm reception and h earty
co-operation. And in order to secure this end,
all the ministers connected with the Synod are
hereby requested to call the attention of their peo
ple to this subject and enforce upon them its im
portance and necessity.

8 Kelffer, of the Maryland classis, advocated its

The Society possesses nil the necessary legal
powers to meet the wants of the church in what
soever form that we may deem most Judicious.
We can give annuity to the widow of any minis
tel,
whether he was ever a member of the Society
or not. We can give an annual support to any
disabled minister himself, who Is a member. As
a matter of course we aid the widows and families
of our members, but there is no limit to the extent
of our benefactions, solar as our charter acd by
lilt,/ o are concerned. We have power also to es
tablish a. Widows' Home or a Disabled Ministers'
Home. The only limit to our operations Is the
want of means, and In connection with this the
want of sufficient interest on the part of the church
in general.
The present invested fund is $9,750. This will
be Increased during the coming year In the sum of
at lessi $l,OOO.
The Society has the navies of nine widows on
the anaulty list. One of these Is ninety-two years
of age. As our resources increase we arc 'perces- '
hug our christian elite , . We now renew our request
to Synod to commend again this charitable organ
ization to the sympathies and regard of our pas
tors and churches. We submit two requests
1. That Synod recommend to the pastors to pre
sent the claims of the Relief Society to the church
es on the third Sunday In Juno, 1872, and afford

olent wink by their free will.
2. Tint Synod appoint a comtnittea to confer
with the Society on the propriety and expediency
of extending its benefits and operations.

lcuo wledged representative of the Evangelical Lu
theran Mlnisterium to this Synod, addressed the
Synod. Rev. J. 0. Miller, the President, replied
to Mr. Lditzle. The remarks of both gentlemen
were exceedingly Interesting, and those of the
President were full of philosophy, beauty and sub
limity.
Martinsburg, West Virginia, was selected us
the place for the meeting of the Synod in 1872.
The committee on the State of Religion reported

of the Institution and Its prospects.
The Stated Clerk then culled the roll, and read
the ntiontes of today's proceedings, after which,
at 6 o'clock, p. m., the Synod adjourned sin, die.
150 GENERAL has the public confidence be
come in Dr. Ayer's medicines, and so great the
demand for them, that unprincipled villains are
attempting to deceive the Unwary by Imposing
upon them their worthless nostrums under a sim
ilarity of name. Cherry Pectoral Lozenges, Dr.
Ayer's Troches, Ayer's Pastlies fOr Coughs,
Cherry Pectoral Cough Drops, Ayer's Fever and
Ague Cure, Duct. Ayer's Indian Pills, itc.,
(none of which arc of Dr. Ayer's manufacture or
composition) are specimens of this villainy and
deceit. They not only defraud the sick of their
mosey but of their hcalth,or the recovery of their
health, which Is far more important limn money.
From actual 'counterfeits the people are protected
by law which the Doctor promptly enforces, but
these evasions sometimes elude the Inw, and pur
chasers must protect themselves by refusing to be
deceived by them. —.Dover (S. II.) Ike.
PIIILADELPIII A MARKET—FLOUR AND MEAL.
—There has been a more activity in the flour
market, without, however, essential change in
prices. The demand has been principally from
the home consumers for the better grades of Spring
wheat and Pennsylvania families, the stock of the
former being very much reduced: 10,000 barrels
sold, including superfine, at $5.2565.75; extras
at /5.873460.25 ; Wisconsin extra 'family at
$7.2567.50 ; Minnesota do. do. at 8863.20 ; Penn
sylvania do. do. at $767.50 ; Indiana and Ohio
do. do. at $767.25, the latter rate for fancy; old
stock Pennsylvania do. do. at $6.50, and high
grades at 1868.50, as in quality. Rye flour has
been steady at $5. In corn meal we notice a sale
of 500 barrels " Brinton's" at $4.15.
GRAIN.—The tone of the wheat market has been
decidedly firmer, but the volume of buelneas Is
light. The Inquiry has been chiefly from the local
millers for prime lots. Sales of 35,000 bushels,
closing at $1.53®1.55 for fair; $1.5661.00 for
good and prime Pennsylvania and Western red ;
SIM for umber, and $1.6161.65 for white. Rye
has advanced , and 0,500 bushels Pennsylvania and
Western sold at 95697 c. Corn has been quiet and
unsettled, closing at our highest prices. Sales of
40,000 bushels at 75680 e for yellow ; 72674 c for
cut do. ; 80c for white and 72677 e for Western
' mixed. Oats have been less active,but were firmer
ut the close ; 48,000 bushels sold at 48650 e for
white, chiefly at 49c, and 46649 for black and
mixed. In barley we notice sales of 1,000 bushels
'Canada West at $l.OB, and 5,000 bushels Canada,
I and 1,000 bushels Western on private terms.
Iron scarce, and fall prices ; sales of
No. 1 foundry nt $37637.50 ; No. Oat $36, and
force at $33634. ,Manufactured Iron la quiet at
$82.50685 13 ton. In Scotch Pig and Blooms no
thing doing.
