It does the people of the world no good,
for the preichers to discuss the question of
" hell or no hell," as is being done by a
certain class of people. The orthodox be
lief in a hell can do no man harm, in this
world, and if, in getting into the next world,
he finds he has not landed in a place of tor
ment, how happy he will be. Preach hell
often enough, so that men do not forget
that there is such a place. The belief in
the existence of such a place has a restrain
ing influence on those who are viciously
disposed, aud makes them better members
society.

Paor. A. L. Grss is collecting material
from which to write a book relative to the
early settlers of Juniata county. Already,
at this date, he has quite enough material
to make an interesting volume. He has in
his possession the first list of taxable
property holders, who lived within what are
now the liu its of Juniata county. The list
waa made in I7C3. In the years 170 1, 1705
and 1706 no lista of taxable people were
taken, lor the reason that in those years
the Indian again possessed the valleys of
Juniata county, aud the white inhabitant
was a fugitive. In 1767 the second tax-list
was made. The territory of this county
was then comprehended in two townships.
Lack and Fermanagh, The list of taxable
people of the two townships in 1767 is an
interesting list, and reveals to a certainty
the progress the hrdy pioneer had made in
the clearing of the forest. The number of
acres of land cleared by each land-holder
a as not large, but the live-stock owned by
each proprietor was out of all proportion to
the acreage cleared. For example, we take
the possessions then of Alexander Robin
son, grandfather of John Robinson, Esq., of
Patterson, and great grandfather of Col. J.
K. Robinson, of Millord township, who ap
ears on the tax-list of 1767, aa the owner
of one hundred acres of land, five acres of
bich were cleared, also two horses ,and
three cows. The one hundred acres men
tioned are located about three miles from
Miffliiitown, in Milford township, and are
now owned by E. S. Doty, Esq. The Scotch
Irishman, Alexander KoUinson, musi uae
been one of the most vigorous settlers, for
few had more acres cleared than he.
A dispatch relative to Senator John J.
Patterson, last Wednesday, says: Senator
Patterson has reason to believe that requi
sitions for his arrest have been forwarded
f rom South Carolina to the Governor of
Maryland and the Governor of Delaware.
The object of these requisitions, if they
have been sent, is to intercept the Senator
as he passes through on his way to Penn
sylvania. Mr. Patterson, though not posi
tive that these requisitions have been sent
north, has no desire to encounter one of
them on his trip for pleasure and the restor
ation of his health. It happens that he can
not enter Pennsylvania from Washington
without pawing through Maryland and Del
aware, or at least Maryland, without the
trouble of taking a very circuitous route.
He is satisfied that he could not leave Wash
ington unobserved at any time of the day
or night, for the reason that he is the ob
ject of constant and tender solicitude on
the part of detectives employed to devote
their whole attention to him. What he will
do in the premise cannot at present be
stated. He is mending gradually, and
hope soon to begin his round of visits in
Penusvlvania.
