Cun,srrAN L,Ans.--Ifthe Devil loves

CHRISTIAN LIARs.--Ifthe Devil loves
ono above another, It is the protesting
Christian who bctrays his Saviour and
libcls his ncighbor. The editors Of the
Harrisburg Telegraph, Bcllcfonto Re-
publican, and Raftsman's Journal, are
loud protesting ChristiansC) The
following libel upon Mr.. Hartley, tho
Democratic nominee for Auditor Gen,
cral, they have been retailing for some
time through the columns of their re.
spective papers:
"IIartly, tho Democratic nominee for Auditor.
General, was 30 bitter copporhoad during the
war, that he LEFT the Methodist church because the
minister prayed that success might crown the
Union arms, and the Government bc prcscrvc cd
from dissolution"
Tho Bloody Run Press, published at
the home of Mr.. Hartley, manfully do.
fends him against the assaults Of these
Christian editors, ne follows:
"In regard to the church differences, though
Mr.. Hartley was positive In his views, yet he new.
ongendercd strife. lie was actually driven from
the church Of his choice by the prosecutions Of
that ianatical scapcgracc and hypocritcal dcma.
gogne, II. W. Kirby, at that time pastor In eharg,
Of the Bedford congregation. The charges Of Ii,
Journal referred To- are unfair, and we consider Il
our duty to rcfute them. Our aim is to elect Gen
Allen, Auditor Gcnral, but we cannot see what II
to be gained in that direction by vllifying and
traducing his opponent"
So much for the Slnndercrs. Now
as to Kirby. Our readers are nc
doubt aware that he was expelled from
tho ministry, at the last session of the
Conference, at Lock Haven, for com,
mitting adultery with sister of his
congregation, after he was convicted
of the crime in the Court of Franklin
county.
There reader, you have an outline
Of the character OF Mr.. Hartley and
Rev. Kirby. That of the former is
established by his opponent, while the
former is condemned by the Court and
the Church, and is now in exile, dis.
grace to mankind, and will remain so;
unless the Christian(D editors in ques.
tion con reconstruct him. Grant ed.
itors should bo the last men to assail
any one.

Another Death from Abortion.

\ New York dispatch of the DIST
says: On Tuesday, Jan. Q, middle
sized, oldsh man, accompanied by a
good-looking woman, apparently %
years OF age, visited the tenement at
% Avenue B. The man gave the name
of Schmidt, and said he was in search
of room for himself and wife. A
room on the third story was given them,
and the man, after bringing in few ar
ticles Of furniture, and putting up a
stove, departed, and has not since been
seen. The young woman remained
much of the time in her apartment,
conversing but little with any one. She
told an inquisitive neighbor that her
husband was a travelling halter, and
came home about once fortnight. On
Saturday night the occupants of the
floor underneath noticed blood dripping
through the ceiling. Officers were sum
moned, and the door of the strange
woman's room was forced open. She
was lying on the floor, dying, a newly.
born child beside her. DR.. Waterman
having been called, sent for midwife,
and she took charge of the infant. The
woman died on yesterday morning ut
o'clock, and the child followed its
mother on yesterday afternoon. In the
the course of the day Mr.. Voges, a
manufacturer of hats in Williamsburgh.
called ut the house and recognized the
body as that of his sister, Bertha Voges.
He said that she was unmarried. and
lived with him until Tuesday, the 9th
inst, when she said she expected to get
work in New York. He knew nothing
of the man who accompanied his sister
to Avenue b. She had always borne a
good reputation, and none of the house.
hold suspected that she was in trouble.

Mr.. Greeley hates him beyond measure,
owing to the fact that the President has
not carefully observed the programme
laid down by the philosophy of the
Tribune 4; the second of Mr.. Greeley's
projects is the restoration of the Demo
cratic Party to life and possibly to
power; and the main purpose of the
two projects is the election of Horace
Greeley to the Presidency. Sometimes
that gentleman plays on one string and
sometimes on the other. To-day he
furiously attacks the present Admins
traton and presses his one-term rule /;
tomorrow he will ingeniously point out
different ways by which the Democrats
may achieve success. But in every in.
stance the tail.feathers of Mr.. Greeleys
ambition are exposed to view, though
the venerable philosopher thinks that
they are covered in the sand.--SyrQcuSe

A Staggerer.

Much has been said of Gen. Grants
"nepotism," but most of those sayings
are foolish, and consequently have no
weight with the public. We have,
however, come across a paragraph in
the Detroit Post which is what Mr..
Swiveller would have called a " stag
gerer," and in common justice we give
it as it stands
"The New York Sun has at last got
the President on a charge of nepotism.
1t declares that one William Sweetzer
holds clerkship in the Office of Inter
nal Collector, at Pittsburg, Penn; and
the said William is brother of Gen. j.
B. Sweetzer. Oho is cousin of the father.
milan of the Presidents cousin That set
ties il. A President who would do that
is certainly the original Jacobs of
nepotism. Besides we have learned of
still worse case in this State. The
President has appointed to the office of
Postmaster in Michigan a man who is
second cousin to woman whose first
husband was uncle to the nextdoor
neighbor of the sister.in.law of the
washerwoman who ironed Lieut.. Grants
society shirt when he was one of the
officers stationed at the fort in this city.
These facts can be proved by indisputa
BILE testimony and anybody who doubts
has our permission to prove them. Can
nepotism 60 further?"

A Mormon Miracle.

The Mormons, not content with their
substantial miracle in making the desert
blossom like the rose, have performed
another, an account of which is pub
lished in the Deseret NewS, the official
church organ. The scene Of the new
miracle is laid in the Sandwich Islands,
and distance has probably given it all
its enchantment. But, according to the
Ne,eS, man who for five years has
been palsied cripple has been fully re-
stored to health by the simple command
of Mormon Bishop, Arise and walk. !"
The result of the phenomenon has been
a great increase in the number Of native
converts, who are delighted with reli-
gion which sanctifies the ancient poly
gamous customs of their grandfathers.

Jarndyce VS.. Jarndyce.

Last week, Miss Reid, of Stamford
street, London, was found dead in her
chair. She is said to have been in her
seventy fifth year. She was tenant for
life of a large quantity of house property
in various parts of London, the utterly
ruinous condition of which was so re-
markble that they were popularity known
us the "haunted houses or the
houses in chancery." Having quar-
relied with ner nephew,to whom it would
fall in succession, and finding that she
could not, by will, "cut him OFF," she
at once got rid of the tenants and let
the property fall into a state of dilapi-
dation.
