STEEL FR.031 PENNSYLVANIA OnEs.—A se ries of experinte❑ts has been made at the. steel works below this city, says the Harrisburg Pa triot, in the manufacture of steel exclusively from Pennsylvania ores. The result Is said to have been so satisfactory as to justify tho expectations that this country may eventually export ores of pig metal to the European manufactories. The Chemist constantly employed at Baldwin makes an artificial ferro.mangane,e which is claimed to be even better than the imported spiegel circa, and the product of the Bessemer converters is said to be of Such remarkable tenacity that it may soon he expected to supersede wrought iron almost en tirely. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company is rapidly 'relaying its main track with steel ralls,the greater portion of which are made at Baldwin. The rails have been subjected, together with the hest foreign rolls, to every comparative tests. TITI KEROSENE INCENDIARY.—it IS pro vet bial that the Europeans are more careful than Americans who and what they admit Into their households. A dan . 4liter of Wm. Reinsmlth, the bricklayer, up at an early hour Monday week. at No. Second street, mounted a stove to place a kerosene oil lamp on a shelf. Discovering that the lamp was still burning she attempted to blow It out when it exploded. A piece of the glass struck lice In the face and a part of the kerosene was ejected over her clothes, but fohunately did not ignite. Frightened,she ran into the street, exclaiming 66 fire," but instantly recovering het presence of mind returned. The shelf, carpet, a couple of towels and the surhase of the room, meanwhile, had taken fire. With a couple of pails of water she promptly extinguished the dames and thus her presence of mind prevented more serious damage.

The damige was slight. Last Wednesday, between one and two o'clockat serious fire occurred at the millinery establish ment of Mrs. F. I' oder, 81IS Hamilton street. Mr. Yoder, who sleeps over the store, was awakened by suffocating smoke.' Ile proceeded down stairs 1111 d found the lire was In the store. Ile stood a moment or two, and was eo nearly suffocated that he.could not give the alarm. Ile soon went out side, when lie recovered, and after a good bit of shouting succeeded In awakening a neighbor, when the two set to work to extinguish the fire with buckets of water. More assistance coming to band they succeeded In putting out the fire without the aid of the Fire Department, which, however, was on hand. The shelving on the west side of the store was burned and a hole was burned In the floor about three feet square. Several theo- • ties in regard to the origin of the fire are given, one of which is that mice ignited some lIIMCIII4I which were left lying on a shelf. The loss is esti mated nt between seven and eight hundred dol lars, upon which there is an Insurance of $7OO in the Lebanon Mutual Fire Insurance Company 'of Jonestown, Pa. "Gil.T.Ettolitt BuTTEit."—George E.

Ile has since been offered S 5 cents. Common butler sells at wholesale In that market for 55 cents. The reason of tins advantageous bargain,Mr. W. says, Is that his butter "Is of erfra-good quality ; hard, firm, high-colored, welldlavoted, and well worked. It Is put . up In neatly ornamented half•pouud cakes; each of these is wrapped lu n square .of damp muslin, and they are packed on shelves in an Icebox, so that they reach the market In the most attractive form. No pains are spared. to make' everything as appetizing as possible, and the butter roally costs as much us two cents a. pound more than if done up In the ordinary was'." The butter Is all ❑ v ale from Jersey cows, and the milk Is Oct in deep cans, immersed In cold spi lug water. Mr. W. says there is no danger of over stocking the market with this class of hatter. Ills preceptor in the dairy business*, Mr. Sargent of Brookline, sells his whole product to a butter merchant at the fined price of $1.15 per pound, sod V. Is retailed at $1:25.

Mr. Smith and assistants had been en gaged in counting the receipts of the day and had just finished this work, and some of the employees were sleeping on the counter. Mr. Smith, suspecting that these men had been watching him, and observing the suspicious concealment of their laces, refused to comply with the demand to come out, and inquired what the man wanted. The man replied, "come out. It's all right. Don't you know me'? There's a man up here," pointing over the sign. Mr. Smith replied that that was nothing to him and ordered the party to inure on, which they reluctantly did. Mr. Smith's opinion is that the party, aware that the re ccipts of the night had been very hanvy, had formed a plan to get him to unlock the door When they intended to knock him down, and, easily overpowering his assistants, who were sleepy and fatigued ,secure the funds and hastily make their escape befi re they could be inter-. feted with by assistance from , the outside. From their appearance and' attitude the men appeared to he armed. Their faces could not be fairly seen, but enough is known to assure Mr. Smith thut they are Allentown roughs. It is hoped that they nay be detected.

EXTENSIVE SWINDLING WITII SPUMOUS CITY SCHOOL BONDS.—The New York Tri bune, of Friday, contains an account of the arrest of Frederick Snedecer, in New York, charged with selling bonds which he purported were issued and properly signed by the offi cers of the Allentown School Board. It seems ;that the accused called on Mr. Muir, broker, 113 Broadway, New York, and said he wished to borrow seven or, eight thousand dollars en the collateral which he presented. Muir de• clined to lend as requested but he offered to purchase the bonds, nt a discount, when lie ascertained that they were genuine. lle claims that he wrote to Allentown, and found that school bonds, similar to those of. fired by Suedecer, lad been placed on the market, and paid $8,300 for 'them. These bonds were subsequently sold by Muir, and passed through New York and Philadelphia business houseS. Snedecer, a day or two ago called on John 11. Murray, of No. OS Broad way, to dispoge of $9,000 of the same bonds. Meanwhile it had been ascertained that the bonds already sold were spurious. Snedecer called on Murray yesterday; in regard to the negotiation,and was given into custody. The affidavit of Muir was taken, setting forth that Snedecer had sold him certain bonds, a por tion of which were shown in court. One of. the witnesses present yesterday was Mr. C. M. Ruffle, of this city, President of the Board Controllers. He testified to the complete spuriousness of the bonds. The accused was committed to await further examination. The Tribune says it is believed more of the spurious bonds are out than have been dis• covered but When the interest coupong conic due, the first of next month, that the whole amount out will be ascertained. It Is said, further, by the Tribune, that the accused is .nn old offender, the possessor of many passe atia , o, ntul that Muir even has been under arrest in connection with stolen bonds. Mr. Minh returned today. .The spurious bonds twit a complete forgery. The were printed from other titan the genuine plates. Statistical Evidence of their Benefit The Allentown Foundry and Machine Works,. Thomas and W. H. Barber, William Spangler and Henry Trumbore, proprietors, are giving employ ment to about fifty persons at the present thne,. whose wages range from $1.50 to $3 a day. The Aggregate of the labor payments made annually by this establishment Is about sso,ooo Other expenses........ 30,000 Or a grand total of $50,000 which directly benefits Allentown, Increasing Its prosperity. It is"proposed by the proprietors to erect an entire new shop where an increased number of employes can be kept at work and there will be Increased facilities for manufacturing the follow ing: Furnace, rolling mill, bridge and architec tural castings, retorts for gas works, from ten to duty horse-power stationary engines, double hoisting engines, mining, lifting and plunge 'pumps, flange pipes, hollers, tilling barroivs, ore buckets, mining and mill gearing,rolling screens, truck cars, and corn, vat, hone, cement and plas— ter breakers. The patterns In this establishment are of great variety and the accumulation of over forty years. was organized In the Fall of 1867 with a capitalof two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The President Is WlBalm 11. Alney and the Directors, including the President, Messrs. Aaron BaMet, of Whitehall, 13. S. Levan, of Copiny, Martin Kem-' mercy, of Allentown, and Asa BalHet, of Titus ville. The stock id all held In this county with the exception of that owned by E. J. Ilart,of New Orleans,a wealthy merchant who formerly resided here. The number of employes io the Wosks Is about fifty and fifty more are in the limestone quarries and Iron ore mines owned by the com pany. The wages of the workmen range from $9 to $2.50 a day. The following were the expendi tures of the company during the last three months: September. ... . . ..... . 590,071 October 10,261.17 November 10,773.75 =6 15 6,035 17 All of the above was paid for labor with the ex ception of what the coal used at the furnace cost. The product of the c,tablislunent—pig iron— ranges front eight hundred to one thousand tons monthly. The company Is working two veins of magnetic ore In New Jersey which yielded from fifteen to twenty tons daily. By Spring it will have addi tional mines worked in this county, entailing all increase of employes. The projected new furnace will be completed, it Is expected, by January, 157: 1 , just doubling the capacity of the works. . It is said that every ton of pig Iron represent, just so much labor with the exception of fifty cents per ton for the ore in the ground and ,ix cents for the lime stone In the ground. llow Is it possible, therefore, it is inquired, for our iron man ufactories, paying an average of over two dollars day to their employes, to compete with the Scotch establishments where the average wages paid Is only sixty cents a day. Tne freight on a ton of Iron manufactured In Scotland, front Scot land to New York, Is less than it is on a ton of domestic manufacture from here to Pittsburgh. "Free trade means the - same scale of wages here as Is now paid In Scotland. When the working classes, who will be injuriously affected if the Free Trade conspirators succeed—and they were never better organized or more determined than they are now—realize this fact, will they permit them selves to be reduced to the miserably low standard of the pauper labor in Europe 1" THE MAYOR'S CHRISTMAS COURT. The first " prest" In, Monday, was Joseph Preston, for drunkenness, and as he could not pay a fine of three dollars he ate his Christmas goose In the lock-up. Complitint i ks made against Charles Probst, Henry Sinitfi and Albert Gilbert, for disorderly conduct and a warrant was issued for their arrest. harry Well was reported in the lock-up still too drunk to be brought before the Court. Information was conveyed that there were signs of a disturbance Impending at the Allen S. P. E. Co.'s headquarters in the First Ward ; that it ap peared as though they had a keg of lager in thy engine house and that the lager was rapidly mounting to their brains and viciously influencing them. "If that is so," said the Mayor, address ing a police officer, " Just lock-up the building and take the keg away. They have no right to take liquor in there. If they become obstreperous, ar rest whoever you find creating a disturbance." " Anything more to come before the court, now 1" inquired the Mayor. " I have a few words to say," said Jeremiah C. Murray, standing in front of the railing. "On Saturday night my attention was called to a party of young men who were creating a disturbance in the Opera House during the performance by Fra zer's Minstrels. They were all in a row on one or the front seats. Haying a bottle with them they held it up, before one of the performers, while he was playing his part, and invited, in that way, to like a drink. I told them to stop, but they wouldn't ; and turned 'round and commenced making fun of me. Finally I had to take hold of one. The others held him down by the skirts of his coat, when I arrested him, and wan endeavor ing to take him away. I got him up, however, and when I turd him almost as far as the to sin en. trance I heard some ono exclaim: '• Go meaning me. Just about that time I was struck by some one here," placing his hand on the side of his head Just above the ear. "I do not know the name of the man who struck me, but I can Identify him.

Truth was supplied in dif ferent ways. These who thought the most pro foundly acquired the most of It. The most valua ble truths were re v ealed to only the deepest think ers. Coming to aditetleal culture he spoke about the manifold beautiful things, the handiwork of art, that attracted our attention and that de lighted and elevated its ; awakened our imagina tion ; appealed to the mind, lite eve and the ear. Thus we found here not only the feeling of beauty I but also proof of Its existence. Having cannier ' Med some of the most exquisite, seine ol the most sublime beauties of nature, he said they awakened in us 'a feeling of admiration which was eminently beneficial. Next it was easy to pass from the planes of beauty he had spoken about to that higher plane Inseparable from the existence of mankind. Ilavlng.called attention to ancient nod modern Ideals, he passed to the eensideration of a still higher stage of beauty : the beauty of in tellectual and moral qualities. Quotations from Milton and Byron followed, which were rendered by the distinguished Professor wittahighly appre• ciable precision. Beauty, he believed, was an original gift of God. Like Kepler, anti his study of the steller universe, the more persistently we searched for truth the more we came to know of and to appreciate and he affected by beauty ; the nearer we approached to an appreciation of the spiritual universe. The science of iesteties;there fore, was of immense practical utility for fully developing not alone the Intellectual, but also the moral forces of mankind. Beauty was spiritaal in the forms of matter t It was net God but it seas a inaulfestation of what God haul done In a phy meal form. Ths opinion of the most profound ,thinkers was that all forms in the natural world existed eternally as ideals in the untie mind Inci dental to their realization In this world. They were not God: they only revealed. God unto Its. Each new object of beauty 'we discovered was to teach us more and more of truth. We realized, at last, with Plato, that the beau tiful of God consisted in many respects of different Ideas, but that they were not so widely apart when rightly considered. The cen ter was only in the Supreme God. Beauty came to draw• nanearer and nearer to the divine center Rini filially fit 110 for Heaven. As he had already occupied considerable time he could only briefly express his views on the sulject of the qualifica tions which teachers ought to possess and exercise in the presence of their pupils and in their uni form conduct as Individuals, and he concluded by saying : "Our profession Is a thankless, but it Is a most honorable and useful one, second only to the sacred office of the ministry. The work Is slow, It is true, but It will Meet with Its reward.' Our labors are upon the soul." Miss Bathe, of Slatington, contributed her mite towards the value of moral Instruction in the DNESDAY, DECEMBER 27,1871.

The Commemoration of Christmas SERVICES IN THE CHURCHES AND SUN- DAY SCHOOL EXERCISES THE ST. JOHN'S ENGLISH REFORMED CHURCH , was most beautifully decorated with evergreen by Christmas Eve. Between each of the side win dows there were panels of overgreens,in the centre of each of which there were appropriate mottoes. Blin liar petiole adorned the face of the gallery, on right and left of the main entrance. High op on each of the window sashes were alternately red and white paper crosses emblematic of orange and russet leaves and the embodied spiritual idea con nected with the last mortal act of Christ. Before the altar there was a dove suspended by an un seen strong wire, to forcibly recall the historical eove and the olive branch. Again, behind the dove, were festoons of evergreen,with white stars, In front of the pulpit and sermon etand;and again behind these, an immense cross of evergreen and white stars. On either side of the altar were tow ering and beautifully tapering cedars, suspending c)rnueoplas beneath small wax candles!. The exercises commenced at ten minutes to seven o'clock, with the Sunday School classes In their assigned places, the pews behind the pupils crammed with spectators and the aisles boutniclng more. While some eat others were compelled to stand. The space behind the pews was Jammed and the crowd extended even Out into the vesti bule. The gallery was as full as possible. Rev. E.J. Koons, of Jonestown,Lebanon county, Pa., said that, as the pastor, Rev. S. G. Wagner, was confined to his bed in consequence of sudden illness, he hail been called upon to conduct the services. A part of these were participated In severally by Ida Hofford, Milton Daubcrt, Harry Wolle, Laura Storeb, Harry Schell, Emma Rube, Jeremiah Weller, Jennie Rube, Lucius Kessler, Minerva Yeager, Willie Fenstermaeher, Annie Cooper and Allen Schadt who recited the prophe cies relating to Christ's advent. A hymn follow ed. The annunciation was repented in parts severally by Allee Knecht, Maggie Miller, Maria Kohler, Alice Diehl, Sallie Kramer, Emma Fritz, Jennie Knecht, Mary liagenimeh, Tillie Robinson and Laura Fensterinacher. Meanwhile there were solos by Vinnie Reiss and Lizzie Weiler,both of which were encored. " Hosanna" was sting in Voices, and encored. A tier a bountiful distribution of the gifts provided for the Sunday School scholars and. the singing of a hymn, the Doxology was sung and the Bemdiction pronounced by Rev. Wm. R. Hofford , Principal of the Female College. AT alum: EPISCOPAL CILEIIC/I, on Stinday, services were held a ppropr late to the last Sunday In Advent,both morning and evening. On Christmas morning, at half-past ten, the beautiful and impressive services of the Episcopal Church were held In commemoration of the Na tivity of our Lord, upon which occasion Mr. Grins delivered an eloquent and forcible sermon. The music during the services was very line. In the afternoon the children of the Sabbath School, to the number of about 175, were assembled in . the Church at half past three o'clock, and after the singing of Christmas carols and an address by the Rector, they gathered around the Christmas tree and were each presented with a present, the gift of the Parish. The ninging of the children was very tine and was the subject of universal praise. Previous to these ceremonies, Mrs. Ories was pre:wilted with a bountiful gift in money at the hands of the congregation. The decorations of the church were very claboratemnd were worthy the untiring, efforts-of those CIIV.SIVed in the work. Festoons were pendant from the rafters, the windows were beautifully arched, and the chancel rail, reading desk, pulpit, etc., were entwined with delicate wreaths, and the font heaped with green and holly. Over the Chancel arch, In letters of living green, were the words : "Glory to God in Highest : on earth Peace, Good Will toward men." "The Gleiry of Lebanon shall come unto Thee, the Ile tree, the pine tree and box together to beautify the place of my sanctua ry." It appeared like an offering from nature to grace the festival. The congregation of the NEW JERUSALEM CHURCH, In Bohlen Hall, on Seventh street, between Ham ilton and Linden, united with the Sunday School scholars, of that church, in a happy Christmas Festiva , ,Monday evening. The room la which the congregation worships was elaborately adorned with evergre en In veil me attractive forms ; and suspended over the pulpit wan a beautiful and the appropriately suggestive "Star of Bethlehem," Il luminated and of parts-colors. On one of the pulpit was a large Christmas tree and on the other melodeon, amidst evergreen ; and as the music pealed forth from Its vernal covert, the effect was thrilling. The limltedneesof the room, compared to the spaciousness of the accommodations which cider and more wealthy congregations can com mend, for their festivals, very considerably hel_;htened the sociability of the gathering which was In all respects au extremely Joyous one. There was Indeed there "a feast of reason and a flow of eons"-(he latter particularly In the partak ing of the choice viands and concomitants. The congregation was organized about three years ago; the Sunday School only about three mouths since. The following are the names of the officers and teachers ;—Bible class, Pastor Bev. Louis Tafel ; Sup't of the S. S., John Waelehly ; As sistants, Messrs. Wm. Newhard, John Wunderly and August Bohlen and Mrs.'s Newhard and Young. Addresses by A. W. Fleck, of Phliadel- Mia and others. ST. PAUL'S (initMAN'IA:TIIIIRAS Monday evening the Sunday School conneetnd with St. Paul's German Lutheran Church held their Christmas Festival. The church had been beauti fully decorated with evergreen. All around the gallery pictures representing scenes nom the Bible had been placed and neatly trimmed with ever green. Above the pulpit, there was a large scene representing the Shepherds keeping watch over their flocks by night, with Bethlehem in the dis tance. Suspended from the ceiling by an unseen cord was a large star, In the centre of which was an angel. As early as 6 o'clock, the church was crowded, and by the time of commencing, no standing room could be bad and n great many • were compelled to go away without being able to get into the building. The number of people present Is estimated at between 1700 and tOOO. The exercises consisted of music, dialogues, ad dresses, ac. One of the chief features was the presentation of a gold-he ailed cane to the able Su perintendent of the school, It. F. Trexler, by MaA• ter Wllloughby,in behalf of the school. Itev.Wm. G. Mennig was also presented with a gold-headed Cane by Mr. Trexler, In behalf of some members of the congregation. =1 The usual Sabbath School exercises at theyres byterian Church were suspended on Sunday n fter noon and the members of the school and their friends met in the church building, where an ex ercise specially adapted to Christmas Was con ducted by the pastor, Rev. J. W. Wood. The . morning and evening sermons of the pastor also had reference to tite Christmas season. On Mon day evening the members of the Sabbath School and congregation met In the Lecture Room for the purpose of participating in the regular Christmas Festival. A committee which had the matter in charge had prepared a beautiful Christmas tree laden with cornucopias, and the room was hand somely and appropriately trimmed with ever greens. The devotional exercises of the evening were conducted by the Superintendent of the Sab bath School, Dr. J. P. Filmes, and addresses were made by Rev. Mr. Wood and Dr. Barnes. The members of the school were then called up by classes• and each scholar received a cornucopia well filled with candy and raisins and they were also supplied. with oranges and apples. After the scholars had been provided for the teachers and other friends present received similar treatment, and the exercises were concluded with the long metre doxology by the audience and the benedic tion by the pastor. The sexton, Martin Menges, received a more substantial Christmas token than the scholars, his cornucopia consisted; of a better legal tender than candy. • The committee for the preparation of the Fes tival consisted of William R. Steckel, J. Winulow Wood, Mrs. William J. Romig,' Miss Susan Ma. grader and Miss Sallie Eckert. On Sunday evening, In the English Evangelical church, Rev. J. N. Metzger said that It made very little diffmence practically whether we were or not commemorating the exact day when : Jesus Christ was horn, as the commemoration was In the spirit of that event. =I the services In those observing the day were In kteping with the religious character of the festi val, an 1 our regret Is that our reportorial corps was not of sufficient strength to be represented in each church. Upon such occasions there are members of the different congregations who coo assist us materially in getthig up a full report and. we are nlways thankful Ali Snell aid. State Intelligence.
