man who can disregard Gods penalty

Riot at Erie.


Our readers may know that in grant,
ing a charter to the Lake Shore Rail
Road, the State of Pennsylvania requir-
ed the road through that State to be laid
with width of track that would require
a change of cars at each end of the road.
This was inAicting such tax upon the
company, and upon the travelling COM
munity, that the State has receded from
its position and allowed the company to
lay wide track. so as to run through tn g
State in the same cars that are used on
the Ohio and NewYork ends of the road.
The company began the work OF laying
the track but they have been interrupt
ed by mob violence, particularly at Erie.
There the Mayor Of the city headed the
mob of some hundred and tore up the
track. At the latest date the mob was
triumphant. In viewing the rioters we
hardly know which feeling should pre-
dominate--detestation of their acts Of
scoundrelism, or contempt for the pitiful
considerations that induces them to set
the law and the community at defiance.
The people Of Erie are opposed, be-
cause the present arrangement, stopping
at their village, gives them an opportu-
nifty of treating the passengers with re-
freshments, thus bringing a few pennies
into the place. Although the company
have been authorized by the State Leg
islature Of Pennsy lvania to lay down a
new guage, they are resolved forcibly to
prevent it, and, like highwaymen upon
the road, still continue to levy tribute up
on all travellers who are so unfortunate
as to be obliged to go through their town
II has torn up the rails-burnt the
bridges of the compauy-placed obstruc
tons upon the track, and committed 9th
er outrages Of an equally heinous de-
scription, simply to save two or three
coffee houses to the village, who now
owe their subsistence to the railroad
passengers. Who ever heard Of such
serious mob being created, that had so
little to Justify (which was so obnox-
ious in It's nature--and so we'll des erv-
ing of popular rebuke and reproachl
We hope the Company will not finch
| n its duty, or make any compromise with
the Erie people, but proceed with all
possible dispatch, and lay down another
guage. The Railroad corporation, In
making the proposed change, has popu-
lar feeling on its side, which will sustain
II at all hazards, and IL cannot fail, if its
managers are resolute, to triumph in the
end. The conduct Of the Erians has
been so outrageous--they have allowed
their selfshness to carry them to such
an extreme that II must have a very Sc
rious effect upon the future prosperity
OF the place, by exciting popular preiu-
dice against it, and they will have cause
to deplore the short-sightsd policy they
are at present pursuing in this matter
Meantime, we hope that the leading
spirits in the riots will soon be arrested,
and subjected to eondign punishment.

Property Question in New York.

- $ot-ttVa ~ WV I0IAs
The undersigned, committee ap-
pointed for the purpose of preparing
statement for publication of the action
of the Commissioners upon the ques-
ton in litigation between the NJ. E
Church North and South, in relation
to the property of the Book Concern
in New York, report the following
The Hon. John M'Lean, having vol
unfairly undertaken correspondence
with the Commissioners of the M. L.
Church, and those ofthe NJ. Z. Church,
South. and having received assurances
from both parties Of disposition to
come TO an amicable settlement of the
matter in litigation, and having been
invited to be present at meeting Of
the aforesaid Commissioners, and TO
aid them with his counsels met with
them at the Mission Rooms, 1879 Null
berry street, New York. on the 26th
ultimo, and, by the unanimous request
of the Commissioners, acted as chair
man.
After acarcful and most friendly ex-
animation of the whole question, the
Southern Commissioners made n pre-
position for settlement Of their claim
which the Commissioners for the New
York Concern accepted. Nothing
now remains TO be done to consum-
mate this desirable adjustment Of a
most troublesome litigation but the ex-
ecution of the necessary papers, and
the arrangements for a final decree Of
the United States Court for the South
ern District of New York, now in scs-
sion in this city.
This settlement has been agreed up
on by the parties without the arbitra.
ment of third party. and is to each
entirely satisfactory. The conclusion
Of this settlement was followed by
thanksgiving to God, and most hearty
expressions Of Christian love and mu-
tual confidence. The feelings which
prevail among the Commissioners Of
the two Churches, we may hope, is u
true type of that which will prevail
hereafter throughout the bounds Of
our common Methodism; North and
South.
Much credit is to be awarded to his
Honor. Judge M'Lean, for his agency
in the completion of this important and
desirable arrangement; and we doubt
not bd. this act will stand prominently
among those o. his long and brilliant
career, which have giyen him so enyi-
able a position before he Christian pao'
lie.
The details Of the settlement win DC
made known to the public when the
Final Decree of the Court shall tran

the law respecting trespassing animals.
It will be Of much interest to the faxm-
ers Of this county. The amount Of dam
ages caused by breachy animals is very
great, but the law provides for an easy
and speedy remedy. And we intend to
enforce the law against somebody's hogs
who are running at large, so near starv-
ed that they have rooted under our fence,
rooted up our hedge, and our grape vines
in the garden. We confess to a strong
TEN ptation to shoot them, but this is un-
lawful. The laws plan is better and
we advise all our readers in town and
country to enforce this law, cost what
itmay. Any man who will keep unruly
animals, to annoy community, is not en-
titled to much sympathy. The la "
holds him responsible for the damages,
and he ought to be made pay for them.
