The Widow of an Ex- Congressman in
the Van Vert County InfirmarY.
From the Van Vert Bulletin.

From the Van Vert Bulletin.
Hon. William Patterson, formerly
of Riehland county, died in this city
a few years ago, leaving an aged
and infrm widow, with no provis
ions for her support except her sta
tutory interest in very small estate.
Mr.. Patterson served at least one
term as Associate Judge of the Rich
land Common Pleas Court, under the
old Constitution, and represented
the Mansfield District for four years
in Congress, and still later served
several years as Collector the port of
Sandusky. He was also, in his bet
ter days, not only comfortably stu
ated, but possessed of considerable
wealth, the most of which, under a
mistaken sense Of duty, he distribu
ted among his children, little dream
ing that he or his would ever come
to want.
We are informed that Mr.. Patter-
son removed to this county about the
year 1858, much reduced in circum-
stances, and the period in his life for
him to rally having passed, he died
a poor man, leaving only a village
lot and small house in the east part
of town, which was soon after sold
by his administrator to pay his debts.
At the same time the widows dover
was converted into money, which,
with small allowance for her first
years support, formed a little fund
on which she has subsisted to the
present time.
Mr.. Patterson has several chill
dren surviving, but they being chill
dren of former marriage, and not
feeling the fllial obligation to the
extent of the support of a step
mother, there remained no alterna-
tive but that the old lady be sup
ported by the charities of the State,
consequently she was removed to the
County Infirmary on last Monday,
where it is probable she will have to
remain the balance of her life.
Though affection, both mental and
physical, has made inroads on her
mind, evidences of culture and re-
fnement, and we might add, a high
degree of intelligence, are still ap-
parent in her manner and converse
tion. She feels keenly the humility
of her present condition, but con
soles herself that the disgrace is not
so much hers as those she thinks she
has claims upon on account of the
name she bears and widow she is.

The baltimore Funeral.

A few Grant beaters with a side
show struggled into Baltimore the
first of the week for the purpose of
going through with the forms of
convention. The enthusiasm did
not approach that of an ordinary
camp meeting, for the participants
contributed only lip service to the
exercises, while their hearts were
hiding at home. On Tuesday the
convention organized by electing
Elk Senator Doolittle as Chairman.
AS but little could be done, a doo-
little chairman was most appropri.

has published a book OF statistics
about religious orders in Germany,
which makes it clear that many parts
of the empire are as much under
clerical influence as Italy or Spain.
In Prussia there is one priest or
member of a religious fraternity to
5S4 Catholics of all ages; in Bavaria
the proportion is one for every 300;
and for all Germany, one for every
4Sl. Coming down to particular
towns, the relative numbers Of Cath
olic ecclesiastics and laymen, are
still more surprising. Taking the
adult population Of Cologne, it
seems that out of every los, there is
one clergyman. In Aix-la-Chapelle
there is one ecclesiastic to every
thirty-eight admit Catholics, in Mu
Mich one to twenty, and in Treves
one to every ten. But it must be
recollected there is an important di-
vision among the Catholics Of Ger
many, The "Old Catholics" as
those call themselves who resist Pa
pal infallibility, and the claims of
the Ultramontanes and Jesuits, are
both numerous and influential, and
in a contest with the latter are more
likely to side with the government
than the religious order, so long as
the question is political one, and
does not involve the merits of their
faith. This is the way the German
government puts its measures
against the Jesuites, claiming they
are in every sense political and not
intended to embarrass any man or
set in the perfect exercise of their
religious belief.

do not, however object to the discus

A WRITER in the Cincinnati Com
merciaJ, under the title Of Nep, gives
an account of some spiritual sceances
which he conducted from April 10Th
to May 2lst, of the present year,
with Mrs. Hollis of Louisville, Ken
lucky, as the medium. From his
description of what occurred, we
may be prepared for the manifesto
tion of any feat of a miraculous char
acter, which the supporters of that
system see fit to inaugurate. The
spirits, under his control, have ad-
vanced to that condition of perfec-
tion where it is no longer necessary
to call in the aid of darkness to cover
up their buDgling; but now perform
in open day, show immaterial hands,
materialized-the mans calloused
hand, the soft white hand of the fe-
male, adorned with jewels, ard the
plump little hand Of the infant, which
clasp his in loving embraces, and in
dite all kind of epistles to him.
Think of the Empress Josephine,
gallivanting in that way, and the old
war horse Ney, Napoleon's great field
marshal, coming over to this CONT
nent to hold communications with
Nep, and to shake his friendly paw.
But that is not the full extent of
their ability. Josephine actually
materialized her face, and when he
clasped his hands in ecstacy, and
whispered "Josie, is it your" her
chin and lips moved sweetly, but she
could not speak-which is something
remarkable, if we do say it, in a wo-
man. But all the while the face
crippled with smiles, which chased
each other mirthfully over the fair
domain" And then Jimmy Nolan,
the harpist, appeared, with long
flowing beard, and a harp in his |
mouth, making sweet music. Then
came dark scene, when the spirits
caught up the medium and carried |
her up to the ceiling, on which she
out her journey with a pen
Gil previously provided for the oc-
casion, after which she was placed in |
her chair all right, but wonderfully |
scared, poor lady. To cap the eli
max of all their performances. |
Ney's shadowy outline was
discovered to Nep, alone, just for an
instant, and then it dissolved into
thin air, The spirits claim Mrs.
Hollis as their especial friend
whom they love, and whom they are
going to educate to float upward on
the air as the birds float, or sail.
The fellows raphsody upon the sub
jeet occupies nearly six columns of
the Commercial, and his statements
are Of so fabulous a character that
they can attain no credence, unless
indeed we have fallen upon that time
when "false prophets shall show
great signs and wonders; insomuch,
ifit were possible, they shall deceive
the very elect"

OF all the strange things which have
ever happened, what can seem more
extraordinary than the nomination
of Horace Greeley as the regular
Democratic candidate for President?
It being already certain that the
thing will be done, the country
watches the process with the same
kind of interest it would feel at look
ing at a hungry anaconda about to
swallow a stag-hoofs, branching
horns and all-when it would nearly
cost the anaconda his life to perform
the feat, to say nothing of the pains
of digestion afterward.
'Such feat Of deglutition will be
performed at Baltimore tomorrow
or next day, when the Democratic
party will gulp down Mr.. Greeley;
and as this amazing meal has been
decided on, we can only wish the
Democratic party happy digestion.
The WOrld will contribute no slime
to give the animal a slippery passage
down the throat of the devourer;
but when the thing is done, it will
do whatever is in its power to aid
the digestion, and prevent the Dem
ocratic party going into torpid and
prolonged stupor by reason of the
heavy load upon its stomach. We
trust that there may be vigor enough
in the party to digest this monstrous
meal, and come forth afterwards 'as
well as could be expected "

Yesterday, in obtaining a jury for
the trial of Ambrose Lynch, before
the Court Of Oyer and Terminer in
this city, man was called who had
never heard Of the tragedy although
living within three miles of the
court house, Every paper in Pitts
burgh had full accounts of the affair.
and about every paper outside of the
city published the particulars of the
crime. Yet, here is q man, living in
an enlightened community, with any
number of daily and weekly newspu-
pers around him, who had "never
heard Of the tragedy at ALL" 1t is
hard to conceive that we have such
an ignoramus in Allegheny county,
but as the man testified, under oath,
that he was such a character, WHY
we are compelled to believe it to be
true. His neighbors should send
him a paper prepaid for year, and
if he cannot read, let somebody read
it for him, since this kind of men
nowadays, are generally drawn as
jurors to decide in our courts the
fate of a mans life. There is no
certainty how such judges of the evi-
dence will render a verdict; it may
be for the right, but in the majority
of cases it will favor the wrong
through their inability to distinguish
between the tWo.-PittsbUrgb Dis
