Is mvxv places in this connlry,
there are troubles among Christian
organizations ou account of the way
iu which tho preachers caper among
the ladies of the Christian Hock.
At out the only denominations that
are not troubled with such incidents
are the Amisli, Dunkers, Mennonites.
If their preachers cut shines among
the sisters, the cajers are not reveal
ed to the public. Just now Potts
ville, Pa., is having a preacher wom
an sensation which was reported
from that town on the 21th ot Sep
temlier last week as follows:
Some months ago Rev. W. Myers,
a Methodist preacher, was brought
lxfor his congregation at Branch
dale on a charge of undue intimacy
with Kate, the wife of Ralph lVico,
a young painter. The attention of
the presiding elder was called to
Mr. Myers' conduct, but, Mrs. Price
having returned to Chicago, where
her husband was living, nothing
more was done in the matter. Price
and his family moved back here, and
a few days ago Mrs. Price took her
two children to her father's house,
saying that she was going to visit
her mother-in-law. The same day
the Itev. Mr. Myers left his wife and
children. The pair met at the sta
tion and went away together. Mrs.
Price is but 22 years of age and of
very comely appearance. Her par
ents, who reside here, are very re
spectable people, in comfortable cir
cumstances. Price is a young man
also, well connected. Myers is a
preacher of some force and it was
under his iireachinsr that Mrs.

The North American speaks ont
quite plainly in the following:
It is very well known that tinder
the constitution the Legislature pre
ceding this was charged with the
duty of redisricting the State. But
it is also well known that the Demo
crats did not want that Legislature
to redistrict the State. As it hap
jiened, the apportionment could not
be made during the regular session
of that Legislature. But had Gov
ernor Hoyt thought it necessary, he
could have convened that Legisla
ture in extraordinary session for that
purpose. It was as much a neces
sity then as it was when Governor
Pattison issued his mandate. The
Democrats were unanimously op
posed to an extra session for that
purpose at that time. Do these pa
triotic, constitution-loving gentlemen
know why ! Do they not know that
the Democrats were opposed too!xy
ing the mandate of the constitution
then because that Legislature was
Republican T At what time did the
paramount importance of the consti
tutional mandate occur to these gen
tlemen? The constitution was not
made last year. Its mandate was as
binding t hen as it is now. Yet these
very men were OjijKised to obeying it
under a call from Governor Hoj-t.
We strip the mask fron these men
who mouth the constitution, and ex

marked that he should put the gun
away that it was loaded, whereupon
he replied that it wasn't, aud heeded
not the parental orders. Cora ran
to the top of the stairs, and hiding
under a table !ehiud some llonrbags,
remarked that he could not hit her.
The reckless lad leveled the rule,
not thinking it was loaded, and fired,
the ball entering the left breast and
lodging in tho opposite side, caus
ing almost instand death. Upon
seeing what ho hail done, the boy
ran to his sister, picked her up and
carried her down stairs, where the

afraid something terrible hud taken
place, was ubout going to soo what
was the matter, when sho was
met by Cora walking across the
room staggering and gasping for
breath, and upon being asked what
was the matter, replied in German :
"Der Charles hut mieh gerchossa,"
at the same time falling dead.
These were her last words. Cora

An Octogenarian Horse Thief.
The McConncllsburg correspon
eleut of the Pittsburgh Dispatch gives
tho following hkctch of Isaac Shafer,
tho old man who was convicted of
horse stealing at the lust term of the
Franklin county court :
The trial of Isaac Shafer, of Alle
gheny Cit', iu Cbambersburg last
week, caused great interest iu the
counties on the border, where Shafer
lias plied his vocation for so many
years, lie was cotmctou of stealing
a horse from Henry Anglemiller, near
Mereersburg, rranklm county, and
sentenced to the Eastern Peniten
tiary for one year and seven mouths.
Shafer testified ou the witness stand
that ho is over 78 years of are. In
of a better one. Before his trial last
week he had served a term for horse
stealing in the Virginia penitentiary,
one in the Maryland penitentiary for
the same crime and also one or two
terms in the Western Penitentiary of
this State for like crimes. The old
man is a native of Franklin county,
Pa., having been born and raised near
Mereersburg. He owned and man
aged two hotels in McConnellsbnrg,
Pa., and four teams on the road when
the Conestoga wagons lined the
turnpikes between Baltimore, Phila
delphia and Pittsburgh. He. after
wards owned a valuable farm in Som
erset county, where he failed and
was sold out by the Sheriff. After
his failure he returned to Franklin
county and joined the "Cove Gap
Gang" of horse thieves, who operated
in the mountains of Fulton and
Franklin counties. This cranjr, a-
mong whom Shafer was a leader, w is

to abandon his bad habits and live a

Muflhtows, Pa., Sept. 27th, 1883.
The Lutheran Synod that met in this town
this week, was in high feather, and why
shouldn't all Lutherans be in high feather
in this the 4th Centennial year ot the great
reformer t It will be 400 years at It
o'clock in the evening of the 10th day of
November, Wi, since Martin Luther was
born at Eisleben, In Germany. Fourteen
hundred years previous to that eventful pe
riod, Chri.it had come and proclaimed to a
lost and ruined world, that obedience to
God's will, and a belief in Christ and the
renrrection and the life to come, wore tin
things of great price for this and all future
time. Christ's own people, the Jews re
jected him, and the orthodox church of
that people had him executed on the cross.
Pontius 1'iUto was almost ready to accept
him as correct in his teaching, on the day
of his trial when ho declared to the Jews,
"I find in him ho fault at all." Doubtless
!
the Romans would have accepted the doc
trine of the resurrection aud the life to
come through Christ long before they did j
if the Jews had not constantly put forward j
the thought that the Chriiliaus intended to j
et up a kingship to overthrow the Roman !
government. But with all the hindering 1
causes in the way, Rome adopted Chris
tianity in 324, A. I. From that time to
Luther, was llo'.l years, an ample period of
time to change the Christian religion into
some other system ol religion. The way
to the future happy state was no longer an
easily comprehended faith in Christ. In its
stesd was a system of religion with the
Pope and Priest, standing In the way be
tween God and heaven, and man. The
Pope and Priests, with their machinery of
church government controlled all Europe.
There had been reformers but their points
of doctrine were not clear enough to enlist
the people against the perverted Christian
ity of the Roman church. Calvin came
alnmt the time of Luther, but if it had not
been for Lutheranism, Calvinism would
have (alien, still born among the people of
Europe as a reform doctrine against Roman
Catholic Christianity. With a due respect
for Calvin and his teaching, what was there
in his central point of doctrine to use as an
instrument against Rome f What was
there to move tho psople against Rome, in
the doctrine t
"That God hath chosen unto eternal
glory a certain number of the fallen race of
Adam."
The Calvinists might have preached that
doctrine from the days of Calvin to this
day, and Roman Christianity would still be
ruling Europe, and America would be undur
a government ruled by kings and princes
ami priestcraft instead of under a Republi
can form of government. Admit if yon
please, that every word that Calvin declar
ed in bis doctrine is trne, there still was
nothing in it to undo the grip that Rome
held on the church and state of Europe. It
was different with Luther. When he nail
ed his doctrine on tho door of tho church
at Wittenberg, on the 31st day of October,
1517, everybody understood it. It was
justification by faith in our Lord Jes'lb
Christ." The people understood him when
he proclaimed it, that Pope or Priest could
not stand between Ood and man to con
demn or save him. When be taught, be
lieve in God and Christ, and olicy, they un
derstood. They understood that waa not
Popery and Priestcraft. Tho Germans un
derstood Luther. People of other tongncs
understood him, and proclaimed themselves
as against the temporal and spiritual pre
tensions of the Pope and Priests. Many
of Luther's friends were in favor of a resort
to war to break the power of Roman
Christianity. But he relied ou tho preach
ing of the "word." Under the powerful
antagonisms that tho clear teachings of
Luther awakened all the different shades of
opposition to Rome combined, under the
name of Protestantism. It was the begin
ning of a new and better civilization with
Lutheranism, and the Germans at its bead.
Rome said crush tt, ami in 1018, tho work
of closing and destroying tho churches of
the Herman reformers was begun. The
Protestants had recourse to arms and thus
began the 30 years war. In 1030, tho Luth
eran King, Oustavus Adolphns, of Sweden,
came to the rescue and turned tho lido of
the struggle. In 1CI8, the war came to an
end with the Catholic power broken. Out
of that Lutheran fight has como liberty of
conscience, individual freedom and the
present modern civilization. Do you won
der, that the Lutheran preachers of the
30th session of tho LnUieran Synod of Cen
tral Pennsylvania, that convened here yes
terday have a satisfactory look about them t
I do not. The wonder to me is that they
do not M"w their own horn. They have
the t-fligioiis ped igrce on which to talk. If
the New England Christians, or tho Con-grt-gationalists,
or the Presbyterians, or
the Methodists had such a record they
would talk about it evrry Sunday. I was
present on Wednesday evening to listen to
the opening sernmn of the Synod, by Eev.
W. B. Glanding, of Newport, Perry coun
ty, Pa. On his right in the pulpit sat hev.
John Tomlina, of Aaronsbnrg, Outre Co.
Tomlins is an uncommonly large man, with
grixzled hair and beard, and a thundering
voice. On the left of the speaker sat Kev.
S. Henry, of MifHinburg. He too is a large
man with a largo beard. With these two
large bearded men ft inking him in the pnl
pit, (Handing short and slender in person,
with golden colored moustache, cleanly
shaven checks and chin, and white neck-tie,
did not present an overshadowing physical
appearance, and he began to retd ia such a
low tone of voice that I did not hear the
name of the book from which he took bis
text. However, he soon unfolded from it
the theme :
jl dttper knowledge of Cirlsi i' the re
i'? trd of the use.
If Glanding hxs not the massive physical
his voice lacks stentorian tones, they w.U
have to sit np late, and get up early to pre
pare sermons that equal his. Ho was at
tentively listened to by the large audience.
The Synod embraces within its limits,
Centre, Clinton, part of Union, Snyder,
Mifllin, Terry and Juniata counties. It has
71 churches, 85 ministers and 6,872 mem
bers. Lutheranism is a growing religions
element without any signs of decay.
Respectfully yours,

McAlistsr villi, Pa., Sept. 28, 1883.
Mr. Editor: I noticed in your columns
of the 25th of this month, how tome writer,
who seems to know a thing or two, but
who don't know everything, writes about
this place. I am disposed to think that he
has lived in MilHintown for the last 40 years,
more or less, lie would like to know if
McAlistorvilfe was ever laid out, or wheth
er it jast happened to spring up by the
sides of an Indian path. Now, I suppose,
he, like myself, was raised in tho woods, in
between two mountains, where there waa
sweet refreshing air to breathe and pure
spring water to drink, and where tho boys
grew np full of agility and quick ia percep
tion, yet modest and unassuming. But now
to the subject. There was a State road
from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh by way of
the Juniata river. Thcro was a public sum
mer road Irom MilHintown to Selinsgrove.
There was a public summer road from
Thompsontown, running northward over
hills, and intersected this road running east
and west. At the end of this bis hill, call
ed (Juigley's hill, here on land of II ugh Mc
Alister, Sr., was the intersection, right in
the woods of very heavy white oak trees.
Right at that spot, a lew men thought, that
from its location, would be a suitable place
for a few mechanics and a. store, aud a place
for a hotel to accommodate travelers. j;So
Hugh McAlister, Sr., was induced to sell
lots, and finding a detuind, commenced
selling lots. This was in 18 It'. The near
est store and hotel was then at Thompson
town, 6 miles away, aud at Mitlliniown,
. 1 which was
'J miles distant by ibo Cedar
Springs all travelers went
that way. I
remember well whin there was n-i house
where this town now stands, nothing but
woods. As for Richfield, I have no knowl.
erlge of a fort i:i that vicinity, but I have
kaawlcdge of the first settlers becoming
alarmed and fleeing to Cur.iberlaud and
Lancaster counties, from tho Indians
they rem lined a'osent one year or more.
I wiil relate an incident that occurred np
this valley, a few miles. In those early
days, when the land was new and stumpy,
people raissl more ryo than wheat ; they
reaped it with sickles. In Middle Creek
valley, across Shade mountain, people did
likewise, but the rye ripened on this aide of
the mountain about one week earlier 'han
on the north side. The inhabitants got to
know this and they had mvlo a foot path,
across the mountain from valley to valley.
Two good men from Middle Creek valley
had been on this side of the mountain to
put in a week at reaping rye, which, as
stated above, ripened earlier than the crop
in their valley. Saturday evening closed
their work h-jre ; the sun was down; there
was a young moon, I do not rememlier the
family names of tho rawi, but to distinguish
the one from the other, I will call one Jim
and the other Sam. Says Jim to Sam, !ut
us go home." Says Sam, I will not cross
the mountain to-night, there may be In
dians on our path." Says Jim. -I am not
afraid of all the Indians on that mountain
and I am determined to sleep in my own
cabin this night," and off he went, alone.
He found the path and reached the top ol
the mountain and had -began to go down
the other side, w hen an Indian sprang upon
him from bohiud a tree. A struggle took
place, but two other Indians came np and
he became a prisoner. One Indian was put ;
in front and two behind him on the path,
and then they double-quicked it down the
path. As they were thns going down the
mounUin side Jim concluded that he would
be taken to an Indian town and there be
compelled to run the gantlet. It was no
pleasant thought, and he concluded that
the best way was to have tbs rnn out at
that time while they were at it. So bo
kept a lookout for a chance. In a turn in
the path he sprang to a side, and turned
with the moon shining on his back. The
Indians gate chase. He widened the dis
tance between them, and when bis breath
gave out, he jumped over a large fallen log
and lay down close by it. Soon an In.
dian ran around by the root, and another
red skin ran aronnd by tho top, and the
third jumped on tho log and hollooed, fay
ing, "come back, we will treat you well."
The Indian spoke in English. Then they
all three started and ran further in the di
rection that they believed that Jim had run.
Jim said his heart heat like a pheasan t's
wing, bo thought the Indian on the log
would hear it. As soon as the Indians were
out of bearing, Jim arose and reached his
home in safety, rejoicing that he bad out
witted. and out run bis enemies. Fifty,
sixty, seventy years ago, I often heard men
tell about Jim's adventure, and it is a source
of regret that I have forgotten his family
name. The date ot the occurrence as Dear
as I can recolhvt was tho year 1770.
