Sheriff's Fees.-A bill to reduce the fees
of the sheriff of Perry county which we
last week mentioned as having been intro
duced into the House, is merely an act, to
repeal an act, whereby the Sheriff receives
$3.50 week for boarding the prisoners in
tho county Jail, and placing this county on
the same footing as most of the counties in
the State. That is, it leaves the price for
board of prisoners to be fixed by the Court,
of Quarter Sessions of each county, who are
really better qualified to regulate that
matter than the Legislature, who are not
supposed to know the local prices for
board in every locality in the State. The
passage of this act will meet the approval
of large portion of the citizen of the
county, as the price now paid for the board
of prisoners is as much as the hotels of this
borough charge for board and room.

COMMUNICATED,

MIR. EDIToR:-In reply to article in
TIMES, in reference to the preachers asser-
tion on Morality. would beg leave to cor
rect our worthy informant.
He states, that one of the preachers at
Germany, remarked, that the punishment
of the moral man would be greater than
that of the out-breaking wicked man, and
by this statement conveys to the minds of
the public, that we advocate such doctrine.
We remember the remarks made which
gave rise to his statement, and we think
that an explanation is necessary, that the
public mind be not wrongly impressed, and
that justice be done us. The subject which
we introduced upon that occasion, was,
regeneration or the new birth, and in
treating the subject, we noticed, 1st, the
nature of regeneration. In answer to the
question, what is it to be born again, we
remarked that it could not mean a second
natural birth, neither mere baptism of
water, nor yet an external reformation, and
further, remarked, that he who would as
sumo the form of Godliness, and take upon
himself the name of christian, without the
new birth or regeneration, if there was a
difference, God would look upon the man
without profession with more favor than
upon the "wolf in sleeps clothing" this
is the idea conveyed, and the doctrine adj
vanced, and we are able to defend the same
with the sacred scriptures.

Answer to PrOblem.-The problem in
last weeks TIMES, had brought variety of
answers, which show how great a difference
of opinion will sometimes exist over sim
pie problem.
II. L. M. of Howo twp, says, b lost $40
and the sugar; A Centre twp, subscriber
says, B lost $s and G 81; Another says, b
lost $40 and the sugar and G 81 and the
tea; While Madison twp, correspondent
says, B lost IS and the sugar and lost 90
and his tea. None of the above are correct.
The result of the transaction is as follows,
the entire loss being $40; G lost nothing as
he had the 81 counterfeit on hand before
the trade began, and is q gamer to the
amount of profit on the tea sold. has 90
cash and "a worth Of goods for his spurious
bill, while B is out 81 in cash and So in su-
gar for which he has received the $40
worthless bill.
gB- Even the following apparently sim
pie question will not be answered as readily
as may be supposed.
If 3 cats catch rats in . minutes, how
many cats will it take to catch 100 rats in
100 minutes?"
