Vestcrday was a great festival among those
Germans w ho profess lite Evangelical Iuthcran
j creed. One hundred yenrs ago, the old church
I at the X. R. corner of Cherry street and Apple
i Tree Alio y, was dedicated to the worship of
; Almighty God. Our readers will probably feel
J some interest in the rise and progress of the
j Lutheran denomination, and we have therefore
obtained the following particulars from various
sources:
Prior to the year 17 W, the few Evangelic
Lutheran and "Reformed"' emigrants who took
up their abode in this city had no regular place
i oi' worship, and congregated in an old frame
work-shop, located in Arch street. The pastor
al charge of these flocks was confided to the
Rev. Dr. Muhlenberg, who, by dint of perse
verence and strenuous exertion among the
members, succeeded in prevailing upon them
to purchase a site whereupon to build a church.
Accordingly, in the year 174:), one week before
Eat-tcr, t laic desirable object was accomplished,
and the ground upon which the church now
stands purchased for the sum of two hundred
pounds. As early as the fifth ot April in the
same year, the corner stone was laid with be
coming ceremonies, and the construction cf the
building was immediately commenced with
great spirit ; individual pockets were taxed,
and private property even was mortgaged to
carry out the laudable enterprise ; in fact, the
zeal was such that on the 29th ofOctobcr it
was so far completed as to be dedicated to Di
vine service. The building, finished as it then
was, had cost the sum of fifteen hundred pounds,
an enormous sum in those times. The treasu
ry being exhausted, the interior work could not
lie undertaken ; the scaffolding was allowed to
remain, and in obedience to the old adogc
"necessity is the mother of invention" the
members, instead of seats, used Jogs of wood,
upon which they luid boards ; and to have some
protection against the weather, most of the win
dows were nailed up. In this condition the
church remained for a period of nearly five
years; it was then completed, and finally
dedicated to the Ird on the 14th of Au
gust, 171?, a ceremony performed by Pastor
Muhlenberg, a Swedish clergyman named San
din, and Pastors Drutnhol'. Handschuh, Kurr.
and Schauin.
We will not dvell upon this imposing cere
mony, btit skip over a couple of years, during
j which the congregation had so much increased
: that it became necessary to enlarge the church.

necessary to purchase a second burial ground,
for which purpose two hundred and fifteen

which the school-house now stands, were pur
chased for four hundred and forty-seven pounds.
In the same year, the construction ofthe school I
house was commenced and on the '7lh of July,
1701, it was completed. From this time the
congregation increased bo rapidly that, not
witstanding the expenses incurred and debts
contracted in consequence of the erection of
these buildings, it became necessary to build
yet another and larger church ; the members at
that time were under the impression that this
new place of worship, which was located at
the. S. E. corner of Fourth and Cherry streets,
would contain the whole congregation, as St.
Michael's Church was only 70 feet in length
and l"i feet in breadth, and Zion's (the new)
Church K; feet in length and 70 feet in
breadth.
On the 2 th of June; 1700, this building was
comploted and dedicated, and the congregation
nourished and protqicrcd until tho arrival of the
revolutionary period ; Philadelphia was taken
possession ofby English troop., and this beau
tiful and splendid edifice was converted into a
hospital; this occurred in the memorable year
of 1777 ; but scarcely was the war concluded
ere the Lutherans rebuilt their church, and re
dedicated it on the Kd of September, 172. A
variety of property was also purchased by the
congregation. On the 10th of October, 1701,
a t,cw and valuable organ was played for the
first time in Zion's church. About the same
time the mother (St. Michael's) church was
undergoing thorough repairs ond improvements.
In 170:) und 1701 the yellow fever raged in
Philadelphia, and in a period of about three
months, the congregation lost no less than fi."
of its members ! and in tho ensuing year, on
the evening succeeding Christinas, tho new
church, together with the organ, was consumed
by fire. The edifice, however, was rebuilt, and
r-opcncd in November 1700, and the trustees
bad moreover purchased an adjoining lot of
ground for three thousand five hundred pounds,
and erected thereon a school for the female
sex. About Ihia'.itne some difficulties arose,

majori'y, the vital principle of Republics, from which
Suiibnry, Xortliiiiiibeiiuiid Co.
the sermons ought also to he preached in the
English language, a measure which found nu
merous opponents. At length the first party
built n church of their own, which was dedi
cated in the English language, and peace and
brotherly love was accordingly restored.
Five German schools were then founded by
the church, and in 111 a new organ was
placed in the building.
Pvoco from that time pursued the even tenor
of its way until 111, when a number of young
members made a second attempt to introduce
the English language into the church. The
Oerman disposed members, of course, opposed
this step bitterly, and finally a document fell in
to the hands of their adversaries, in which they
declared thi.t if necessary they would defend
their church with their goods and their blood.
This gave rise to a persecution, which termi
nated unfavorably to the ("ennuii party, many
of whom would have been imprisoned, but for
Simon Snyder, Governor of Pennsylvania, who
interposed his pardon. The German language
was continued in use in the church, and peace
again reigned supreme until 124, when a third
although also unsuccessful, attempt was made
to place St. Michael's church in the possession
of the "English minded." Already in the year
110 the congregation had it in contemplation
to build St. Paul's church, which now tears its
neat and unpretending spire at the N. E. corn
er of Brown and St. John streets.

the 2lst of May, of Mrs. Maria Wait, in the
31st year of her age. This lady was the wife
of Benjamin Wait, one of the Canadian politi

She was a woman of very uncommon powers
of mind, amiable in her deportment, ardent in
her affection, and of untiring energy and perse-
verence of character. Her cxcitions in behalf
of her husband and his fellow prisoners who

MfMlel Farm. I
The llritish Farmer's Magazine fur January,
lyi'l, contains the following account ofa model
farm, cultivated chiefly by buy, who are pur
suing a course of education in scientific agri
culture:
"Pcrhans the most succosfful example of i
the capabilities of laud, under proper manage- .
ment, in Ireland, and of the immense crops
1 ;
which can
be raised, may bo seen on tho Ia-
tional Model Farm, under the Board of Educa
tion, at Glasuevin, near Dublin. This farm,
strictly conductc on the improved system of
green cropping and house feeding, contains tt'-l
statute acres, and there were kept on it, during
the year, 'Jv! head of cattle and 3 horses. It
supplies, on an average, ninety persons during
the year with farm produce, such as milk, but
ter, potatoes, and vegetables of various kinds;
and furnishes the farming; establishment with
pork, besides a number of private families with
the above articles. A considetable quantity of
vegetables ore carried to market, and all kinds
of grain, which is abundant. There is at pre
sent a crop of oats upon the farm, the produce
of 14J British acres. It is secured in eight
stacks, and is estimated by the best judges to
be equal to the nverage produce of 50 acres.
It stood perfectly close upon the ground, aver
age G to 7J feet in height, the head and ear
corresponding ; the other crops, potatoes, tur
nips, Italian rye grass, Ac. of like quality.
The manager conducts the farm on his own
account; pays JL-m s (?d. per annum of rent,
besides other expenses, amounting in all to tip
wards of JL'UMI per year, and we are informed,
ond believe, he realizes a very handsome an
nual sum from it besides. He labors and man
ages it almost exclusively by a number of boys,
gricultural p.tpils and teachers, w ho are there
in training in the science ond practice of ag
riculture. As a tcjt of what land is capable of
producing when brought to its highest point,
there are few examples so appropriate as we
have in this particular instance ; thcro arc,
perhaps, more crops raised, more cattle kept
and fed, more human beings supplied with the
common necessaries of life, more manure ac
cumulated, more employment given, and in
fact more money mndv on this spot of land than
on any other farm of tho same extent (conduc
ted on a proper scientific rotation of grain and
green crop) in any part of the empire, or the
world. Did tho average land of Ireland pro
duce only one half of the value, according to
ptantity, that is on this model farm, we would
bear no more of corn laws, tariffs, or want of
employment amongst the people.

Muscular exertion tends greatly to establish
a permanently fuller state of the chest. The
extent to w hich the chief muscles of the trunk
of the body are inserted into, or have their ori
gin from the walls of the chest, is one cause or
this. In order that such muscles should act
with power we have to draw in a larger quan
tity of air than usual ; and when we want to
make a considerable effort, ns in Idling a hea
vy weight, we have to clone the windpipe and
detain all this air in tho chest. The walls of
the chest, tho ribs, Ac, then are stiftiy mppor
ted by this bed of air, like a distended bladder,
or air-cushion. In this way, the chest can support
a great pressure and forms a firm basis for the
vigorous action ot the muscles attached to it.
When longer continued but not so strenuous ef
forts are made, as in carrying a more moderate
weight for some distance, aud even in active
walking without nny load, a man s'ill keeps
his chest more than usually distended ; hold
ing the air in for a time exceeding the period
of any ordinary breath, and then letting it out
to take in a fresh stock of complementary air,
(to use the term adopted,) tu give stillness to
his chest
Now this action being frequently repeated,
must and does
have efleel of establishing a per-
r state of . the chert. It is, in
inamently fuller
fact, the rendering a person "broad chested ;"
the connexion of w hich with vigor is too Uri
king to be overlooked even by tho .uninformed,
who do not fail tosec the fuller condtion ofthe
chest, though without an acquaintance with the
manner in which it is brought about, or in
1 , ,.
whic.i it is advantageous.
In sucli vigorous persons, tlien, tue supple-
meiitary nir becomes larger, a portion id me
complementary space beiu-jT added to it, and
thenordiuury respiration takes place un tho top
of this increased supplementary quantity. That
this is true, wo may satisfy ourselves by mea
suring the quantity of air such a person can
breathe out, and comparing it with that breath
ed out by a person of sedentary habits. VVc
shall find that the volume of the air durably resi
dent in the chest is much larger in the former,
the comparison being made between two per
sons ofthe same bulk. Spectator.

One of the swindling flash auction rsWUIixli
nients, w ith which Chatham street abound, in
their angling fir plunder on Thursday, caught '
somewhat more than they intended. A clergy-
man Irom Illinois, passing the shop and hearing
tho bids, was induced to 20 in. lie saw a card
of jewelry for sale, apparently very cheap, and
said he would liko part of the things on it but I
did not want tlie whole. I wo gentlemen at .
once stepped up and politely saying they would
divide them with him, the card was knocked
down to the three. They were nt once in
invited back to pottle, and the door was shut.
Tha clergyman oWrved, with some surprise,
that eight or ten men, who seemed to have no
business there a:companied them, lie took
from his purse money enough, as he knew, to
pay his share and laid it down. But a great
iptantity of articles he had never seen before)
were at once produced as among those he had
bid off, and presented with a bill against him,
amounting totSDO. He eawat once their game
mi l brushed all the articles away except
those he had bought, some of which, including
ti watch, he thrust into his pocket, and took a
box enclosing tho others under his arm. He
invited the other two men to go into the front
room and divide the articles; but the whole
company at once thronged between him and the
door, thrust their fists under his nose, and in
threatening tones demanded. thcirfcOO. Being
a man of 0 powerful frame, with one sweep of
each hand he scattered them hither and thither,
and walked out with a genuine Western stride,
shaking them off with perfect ease. They
followed and had a parley in the front room.
They offered him back his money and demand
ed the goods he had bought in return. Pocket
ing the cash, he gave up the box ond cooly
saying that the watch would nearly pay for his
coat, which they had badly torn, started for the
door. They again opposed him but he threw
them across the room with perfect nonchalance
and marched into the street. They followed
and continued to annoy him ts far 08 Chatam
