MOUNT WASHINGTON AGI.
TATED.

fFrom the Cincinnati Ehquirer.I

From the Cincinnati Ehquirer.I
The inhabitants of that staid and
sanity village, Mount Washington,
were thrown into quite a hutter of ex-
citement, few days since, by the dis
coyery that the pastor of cne of her nu-
merons churches had been guilty of a
crime the like of which Mount Wash
inrton lad read of elsewhere, but the
commission of which in their midst
they had never suspected nor sntlci-
pated.
Fortwo years past the flock OF the
Methodist Protestant Church OF that
city upon hill has beeniin charge of
shepherd who rejoiceth in the name
and title of Rev. -. New it so hap
pened that among the fpck aforesaid
was one sister who was fair to look up
on, aud who did sing and play divinely
So it came to pass that the shepherd
was tempted, and it was npticed by GER
tain of the wise men and elders of the
congregation that he did devote much
valuable time to the sister Aforesaid
more, in fact, than her spiritual welfare
req uired. The sisters of the congrega-
tion also observed that the fair sister re-
ceived more attention than did they,
and the result was that the odor of
large rodent was waited to their nos
trils, and they did learn of their olfac-
tories, the while they related with gus
to what they had seen and heard of the
doings of the shepherd and the eve
lamb of his flock. And 50 it came to
pass in the end that the sanity village
was much agitated, and measures were
taken TO ferret out the guilt of the sus
pected parties, and to bring the offend
ers to justice.
In pursuance of this plan five of the |
members were delegated 10 lie in wait
and to watch all of the outgoings and
incomings of the shepherd, and to re-
port all that he did. And they did even
as they were commanded. In short, on |
last Tuesday night the committee of
five at last procured such direct and |
convincing evidence of the improper in
timacy so long supposed to exist be-
tween the parties that on the next day
the minister was brought before the
church, when he acknowledged his guilt
and resigned his pastorage. So great
was the Indignation of the inhabitants
against this sheep in VOLTS clothing,
when it was neised about that he had
acknowledged bis guilt, and threats of
lynching were freely and loudly in
dulged in.
These coming to the ears of the pious
man, and growing stronger day by day,
the whilom pastor came to the cOnclu-
sion that the best thing he could do
under the circumstances was to change |
his base to Lebanon, Ohio. This he ac-
cordingly did last night, and so sudden
was the hegira that the prophet had no
time to take his children with him, but
left them to the cold charities of the
people he had so basely deceived.

A Haunted House Among the ColorR.
do Mines


The house in which DR.. Wharton
lived while in Georgetown is haunted.
1t is a small frame cottage, situated in
the lower town, Immediately under the
dark shadow of the mountain, close to
where Miss Lander met such sad,
cruel death. There is horrible feeling
of dread steals over the lonely traveller
who chances to pass this spot after
uightfall The children of the village
speak of it in whispers, and matrons
find in the very name of the spot ta-
lisman which never fails to awe obstrep-
erous youngsters into obedience. I'M
mediately by the side of the cottage
aforesaid stunted, crooked pine tree
stands, which has a hang-dog, shabby
air about it, which would be noticed
even by stranger. 1t has
a miserly, contracted appearance-tco
stingy to grow, and too mean to decent
ly die. 1t is the tree upon which Balm
bridge was hanged. Under that little
crooked pine he uttered his last prayer,
and there he warned his executioners
to remember that night, for he would
haunt them until they died. About two
months ago the people who were then
occupying the heuse were startled by
mysterious noises in the night, which
frightened them away. They moved
out. Three sturdy miners, hearing OF
the trouble, resolved to stay all night in
the house. They prepared themselves
with pistols and a dark lantern. One
night satisfied them. The doors were
opened by unseen hands; footsteps
were heard on the floor, on the steps
leading to the chamber, even in the very
room where the men, with wild eyed
terror, sat and trembled, but could see
nothing. Since that time no man, no
human being, has been found so brave
as to enter the house after dark.

The bill introduced in the Senate by
Mr.. SHERMAN provides that any Judge
of any Court of the United States, who
is now seventy years old, or shall attain
that age, may, upon his written applica-
tion to the President, be retired upon
life pension, equal in amount to his foil
salary; but if any such Judge shall in
one year after the passage OF this bill,
or, arriving at the age of seventy years,
continue to hold office, it shall be the
duty of the President to nominate and
appoint an additional judge, who shall
perform the same duties and receive the
same compensation as the judge acting
ia said court or district, and shall, with
and in absence of his senior, hold the
courts prescribed by law.

A GENTLEMAN we'll known in financial
aud political circles, recently on a visit
to this city, tells a story which may
serve to indicate the acquaintance our
conductors and the rising generation
have with gold-thanks to our Radical
rulers. One evening he was travelling
in railroad car, and took from his
pocket a three-doIlar gold coin and a
hve-cent piece, which in the dark he
gave the conductor for six cents. On
reaching his hotel he found in his pock-
ct, instead of the three-dollar piece,
which he usually carried as luck money,
a single cent. Immediately perceiving
MS mistake, he went TO the depot and
asked had the superintendent received
rom conductor a S. gold piece, detail
lsg al the same time the circumstances
OF MS loss. He was told such a piece
had oeen paid in, but not by the con-
duetor. 1t appears that that official,
net liking the look of the coin, paid il
away to boy, who in his turn went 70

ductor had given him a bogus cent

WorIK mud Wages.

from the New York Commercial Bulletin.I
The venerable prOverb, "The labOrer
is worthy of his hire" does not seem TO
be regarded as anything more than the
Oretically true. Mechanics, for in
stance, are among the most diligent of
labOrcrs, but they render more impor-
tant and valuable services to society
for less pecuniary return than any
other class of men. The great mass of
these intelligent and faithful laborers
scarcely earn more than scanty liv-
ing. From some interesting statis-
tics lately published regarding the con-
ditien of the working classes of the
United States, we learn that the aver
age life of our mechanics is estimated
at forty-siX aud half years, and the
average number of days work perform
ed in this climate is 80 days in a year.
Here is exhibited a degree of attention
TO business, not eQualed by any other
class. Out of 3l3 working days in q
year, only siXty-three are not devoted
to the mechanics trade These sixty
three days are all that are required
(outside of Sunday for recreation, sick.
ness, pleasure, sport and private busi-
ness.
The average annual expense of me-
chanic in our cities, including board
and clothing, is about $500. Estimating
the average compensation of such n la
borer at three dollars per day, he would
earn in the $50 days $3.50 From this
deduct his board and clothing, $500, and
he has left but $3.50 for keeping his fam
lily, for amusements, for books, for edu-
cational purposes and contingencies.
The average working years of mechan-
ic are estimated at twenty, which would
make his greSs earnings in life time,
on the basis above named, $4,000.

The survivors of the Army of the Po-
tomac propose to form an association
similar TO those already organized by
the other armies. The selection of a
chief army for it is already mooted. The
suggestion of General MCCLELLAN's
name is singuIarly appropriate. He
was the organizer, the creator, we may
say, OF the Army Of the Potomac, and
that be should receive the proposed
compliment is so eminently just that it
ought to command universal approval.
General MEADE is also named for the
position.

Tie Spanish revolution, like 60 many Of
its predecessors, Beems to develop only tho
eapacify. which might have appeared to be
impossible, Of making Spanish Govern
u'ent worse. The Republican ooadjutora
in the revolution which overthrow Isabella
are now fleeing from Spain, six thousand Of
their followers having surrendered, end MI
being in imminent danger, according to the
haraarous usage OF Spaniarda in rayolu-
tonary times, Of being made the victims Of
some vindictive defamation or massacre.
The existing government is nov upheld by
only portion Of those who inangurated
it, md the next revolution
mnst bs by tho rebellion OF those who de-
sure an immediate election Of q sovereign,
against those interested in prolonging the
Serrano Regency. It is scarcely possible
that permanent and peaceful govern ment
can be established under & regency, whose
duration is unlimited and constantly tend
ing to slide into dictatorship unde. the
Regent, especially in view Of the recent sus-
pension Of all individual rights, equivalent
to our suspension Of the writ Of hd5eas epr-
pvs. Meanwhile, all the influence Of the
existing government will be given to pre-
vent the choice Of a monarch. Altogether,
the collapse and annihilation Of the Rspub-
1ican party leaves less promise of peace and
progress for Spain than ever.
