The Lenni Lenapee Institute.

On Friday evening last, pursuant to previous
notice, Mr.. sc. Burnett delivered in the Court
House in this borough, lecture upon 1.-The Ame-
rican Republic and her Institutions" 1t was an
effort highly creditable to him, and he did full
justice to his noble subject. BY this lecture, Mr..
Burnett has given the most complete evidence of
his possession of talents of no ordinary standard,
and that he is one of the most promising young
men in our neighborhood. He was succeeded by
DIR. J.-V. Mattison, who delivered a short intro
ductory lecture upon the science Of Geology,
which was highly interesting and instructive
The meetings of this Institute seem to grow in
interest and instruction, and we earnestly hope
that the public will continue to enliyen its men,
bers by their presence.
On Friday evening, the Sd of February next
J. l.. Ringwalt will deliver lecture, at the same
place, at o'clock in the evening, upon /" The
Age we Live in" which will ne followed by an
other lecture upon Geology by Dr.. V.Mattison,
and the other usual exercises.

"A Mysterious Case.
vortex.

Some tine in the beginning of last Sepem-
Der, two men came to his place, representing
themselves as the Sheriff aud his Deputy from
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with warrant from
Gov. Skunk, made out upon a reGuisition from
The Governor Of Wisconsin,, for The arrest Of a
German named Simon SehUeitzer, charged (as
they said) with the crime of forgery. They
arrested him and confined him for several hours
in our County Jail, when they appeared before
one Of our Associate Judges and procured the
proper authority 10 lake him off. Mr.. Schweilzer
had formerly been resident of Easton, but
went out to Wisconsin,, remained there some
time, purchased considerable land there, and
then returned to this place. The pretended
Sheriff and his aid took him away the same
afternoon, and since then, nothing has been
heard of him. Being member of Fa,herland
Lodge of the Odd-Felows of this borough, a
motion was made 10 expel him from the order
for misconduct; bu, milder councils prevailed,
and committee was appointed 10 enquire in
TO the facts. This committee addressed let
ter to Milwaukee Lode, No 2, in Wisconsin,,
requesting lis officers TO enquire into the facts
Of The case. They did so, and received re-
ply from Gov. Dodge of that State, iha, he had
never made any requisiiion upon Gov. Skunk
for said Schwezer, aud that if he had been ar.
rested, 1t paS done ,Otthom authority. Lis thus
evident that MIR. Schweizer was not taken by
any rea! officers from Wisconsin, and the sus-
picions are strong that he has been foully dealt
with. The members Of Falherland Lodge are
making dlligenI enquiry into this mysterious
case. and il 'he truth can be obtained, they
will surely get at it. Mr.. Schwei,zer was al
ways considered worthy and respectable man,
and was perfectly lhundersruck at his arrest,
declaring his entire innocence Of the crime i'm
pulled to him.-EastOn Argus. sa,ao
