LAYTON.
(Special Corres)ondenoe to the Press.)
Layton, N. J. April 14. Mrs. Mary
Rosencrans wife of John S. Rosencrans
la suffering from blood poisoning, begin
ning In a pimple on one of her lingers it
has extended up the arm to near the shoul
der, and at this writing is considered as
very serious as to probable consequences.
Doctor J. N. Miller, of Layton lu attend
ance. Frank Johnson owned the boss pair of
churn sheep around this digging. It Is
supposed they ate poison Ivy one day last
week and on Saturday one of them died.
Frank gave him a correct course of medi
cine, but it was too late to save him.
Montross of the Centreville Hotel was
Been spading In his garden on Monday.
Montross is an up to date garduer, but
Dan says It was fish worms this time, and
Dan is great on diagnosis.
James Nyoe our new blacksmith and wa
gon maker is bringing order out of chaos,
and has his shop at' Centreville supplied
almost like a hardware storj, everything
In hi line from a tifc bolt to a bran new
wagon. Being a first class workman he
will fill an aching void in the community.
Give him a call.
It seems to me that in riding the length
of the valley no cemetery shows as much
neglect as the one at Centreville. Being
18

along the main road, and attractively lo
cal 1 it should be mnde a thing of beauty.
Can't the new minister interest the people
In brushing It up a little, and put a new
cont of paint on the church?
Mrs. Hannah J. wife of Lnndlord West
brook, of Peters Valley Is rapidly recover
ing from a severe attack of blood poison
ing. Thanks to a good constitution, and
the Belentlflo care of Dr. J. N. Miller she
will soon be able to walk.
Trout fishing Is the correct thing now
provided you own the laud, or have per
mission. Some one says fishing on Sun
day Is prohibited by law. Wonder how
many a couple of Centreville gents bog
ged last Sabbath; what say?
A lusty young farmer appeared at the
homo of Dayton Depue on Monday morn
ing Inst. Mother and child doing nicely,
If Dayton has not missed a tally this Is the
eighth.
Our roads are In unusually bad condl
tion, and the season for work on them Is
now at hand. We hope the overseers will
depend more on a well rounded road than
in the swells to keep the water out. Put
in tile In place of swells and see how nice
they will work.
Divine service at Centreville last Sun
day evening had a fair attendance. An
Interesting sermon by the new minister,
Mr. Van Glahn was Intently listened to.
The music was sweet, but would be much
Improved by two or three male voices.
Francis Layton is recovering from an
attack of pneumonia, and will soon be
nhlo to lie about his work.
R. H. Everitt is gaining, and will soon
be able to meet with the Farmers' olub
again.
The city members of the Flat Brook
club are putting in their nppcrance at
their club house. I understand they will
raise the central dam six feet higher, and
put In 8000 land locked salmon fry. The
dam of the trout pond was badly damaged
by tho spring floods, but has been mado as
good as new under the supervision of ar
chitect, Aden B. Van Sickle. There Is a
large number of trout In the ponds, but it
is said they are scarce In the brooffs. If
sonic of the pot hunters, or fishermen
rather, who net the trout in the. spring
holes during the summer could serve the
State a while at tho Hotel do Trenton a
better state of things might prevail.
Our orator, butcher and freeman has
proved himself a Solomon. Invested as he
is with all tho wisdom, and a like devotion
to women and wine, as was his illustrious
prototype, he has recently added the divine
accomplishment of song, and shows that
up-to-date Solomon Is not In it as a a poet
as compared to tho O. B. F. It has for
some time been a question whether he was
going to pose as a disciple of Annanias, or
Solomon, but great is Allah. The O. B.
F. has cut the gordlan knot by being both
lu one. By energetic use of ice under his
hat, and continuing to sell county bridges
on unused roads, he will certainly attain
to a state of ecstatlo bliss to which Solo
mon could never aspire in his palmiest
days, and to which the pleasures of the cup
and the merry go-round are as the ashes of
the Dead Sea fruit, or the taste in the
mouth next morning. , ,
Layton, N. Y., April 15 Our neighbor
and fellow townsman, Mr. Matthew Shay,
of whose illness we wrote you In a former
letter, died quite suddenly yesterday at
about one o'clock p. in. He had met with
his family at the noon meal and afterward
laid down upon the lounge; remaining in
that position longer than usual he was
found upon trying to awaken him to be
unconscious and dying. One of the little
girls was buried on April 1st. The afflicted
family have the deepest sympathies of the
entire community.

Latton, N."j., April 14.
At the time the war In the M. E. Church
at Layton was In progress, It wan claimed
that the arrest and binding over to court
of Messrs J. V. Majors, and John Youngs,
was according to law, and founded upon
Justice. That Majors and Youngs were
not at the time of breaking the lock law
ful trustees of the church, and that the act
was therefore a crime. That Layton, Ben-
sley, Loder, and others were really the
trustees and as such It was their duty to
cause the .arrest. Let lis present some
viows of the matter that have been forti
fied by recent events, and that since the
heat and prejudice of that period have
measurably passed away, may now be
looked upon in the light of reason. There
Is no reasonable doubt but what the mem
orable trustee meeting was illegal, and
Majors and Youngs were still lawful
trustees at the time the act for which they
were arrested was done. Every lawyer
consulted agrees upon this point. Con
firmatory evidence of this Is found In the
fact that a miserable farce called a church
trial was considered neoessary to turn Ma
jors and Youngs out of church mcmlier-
shlp, evidently to lessen their standing in
an expected suit at law, and to forestall
any action they might take prejudicial to
the Dominies Interest within the church.
Second, that the part ies who swore out the
warrant dared not appear with their case
In court. Majors and Youngs hoped they
would have the courage to do this as It
would have certainly resulted In their vin
dication but Ilk the Dominie they seem to
fear the courts. Their actions from the
beglnlng shows they were the willing tools
of a licentious and mendacious minister
who dared not attempt to clear his own
character, and their acts as such were both
malicious and unjust. They may console
themselves that whatever the result to
them may be, that their pet got away with
a whole hide even though It may not have
been any of the whitest
Please remember this pastor was accused
of unmlnlstorlal and unchristian conduct;
Yes more than that, conduct that many
men of 111 repute would blush to own,
Some few say no charges were made, well,
well, some people cannot see a fact until
they bang their nose plumb up against It.
We supposed when written charges against
Demlng were submitted to tho presiding
elder, and printed in a newspaper that
these matters were tangible enough to be
called charges, except perhaps to a few
who are so blind they will not see, and It
Is said that these are of all the most blind.
Now consider If you please with what ma
terial this great injustice was brought
about. How the tools were of a piece with
the dirty work to be done. Good men and
true could not be bent to further the pas
tors purpose to cover up wrong doing and
protect the immoral and so It was natural
to look to and select such as were In sym
pathy with, If not guilty of like offenses
against society and the low. Think of a
pastor of a church acting as prime mover,
the power behind the throne, trying bis
own case and himself with a picked prose
cutor a picked jury, witnesses and secre
tary; picked by whom? why by himself,
Think of a chief lieutenant, one who lives
in daily violation of the law in his fitinily
relations, one of that trio of witnesses M r,
Youngs refers to as participating in the
farce called a church trinl, and at the same
time being guilty of state's prison offenses
within the year. Are you surprised that
an unworthy minister of the gospel should
use such miserable tools as these to oust
from church membership men who were
their betters In every possible sense. For
such deeds no others could be had. It may
be pleaded that the end justified the
means. I can agree with you no further
than this thnt the end and the means were
then alike wholly disreputable. The re
sult was not in the Interests of virtue,
morality, nor justice, nor to the acts we
should expect from the laymen of a Christ
ian church, nor do we believe good citizens
can countenance nor justify such evil
work. We will allow that the church as
representative of Christ and his teachings
may sometimes become the tool of design
ing knaves, and hypocrites, but we must
still believe there is a just God, and that
in the end the right will prevail. It may
take time for the right to triumph, but all
things come to those who patient wait, and
while the mills of the Gods grind slowly
they griud exceeding small. a
An Enchsnfe Tersely Sift
It is curious that the Herald.which
at times can write with such vigor
and clearness of insight on the poll
tical situation, invariably comes to
grief whenever it attempts to deal
with anything connected with econ
omics.
' In a recent issue it tries to show
that the low price of hay is due to
the enormous falling off in the crop
for the last three years, which was
in turn due to prolonged periods of
drouth.
Surely it must be obvious to any
schoolboy that whenever there is a
great falling off in the production of
any staple, never mind what the
cause, with anything like a normal
demand prices must go up I
The fact that the price of hay,
even with an enormously decreased
crop, has fallen, gives additional
strength to the contention of the
Republicans that the market has
contracted, owing to the decreased
purchasing power of the people.even
greater than the contraction in the
output of staples.
Even though the value of the hay
crop last year was nearly two hun
dred millions less than it was in '93,
prices of hay remained low, because
the purchasing power of the people
was so reduced that the demand was
even less than the reduced hay
crop.
This is one more proof, that
"cheapness" and "dearness" are not
absolute, but only relative, to pur
chasing power. It matters not how
cheap a thing is if you have not the
money to buy it.
If all the year were playing holiday,
To sport would be as tedious as to
work ;
But when they seldom come, they
wished-for come.
