THE ASSAULT UPON ALDERMAN MMULL1N
MILFORD, Pike county, Pa, July 2s, 1879.

MILFORD, Pike county, Pa, July &C. 1872.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Your editorial comments upon the attempted as.
sassnation OF Alderman McMullin, OF Philadelphia,
are, think, not only unjust to the intended victim
OF this murder0us assault, and not sustained by
the truth, but they are also at variance with the
facts connected with the history OF the Moyamen-
sing Hose Company, as detailed by your own cor
respondent in another part Of the same issue Of
July "a. This historical sketch most clearly
exhibits the truth, so generally understood In
Philadelphia, that the progress Of the Moyamensng
Hose Company from lawlessness, riot and anarchy
to obedience to law, dis ,ipline and good ORDER Is
chiefly IL not altogether, the result OF the unfalter
ing cnorts and the personal influence of Alderman
McMuin, and no Otner man could have accom-
pshed what he has done. This being the unde
nable truth, your reflections upon the Of the
influence from low and humble beginnings, and
your sneers at him as gutter politician"
are not only cruel and ungenerous, but
the class from which you describe the Alderman as
having arisen IT. living in the midst of social dis
ates. with none of the refining influences OF educa-
ton and high social position to improve him, he yet
cXcrts such powers as he possesses on the side OF
merit Is greatly enhanced by those circumstances,
and any jcers at his lowy origin can have no other
effect than to disheartcn the men who might DC en-
The real fact Is a. above stated. The Alder
man himself, man OF great physical strength and
unninchinG courage, has always been relied upon
in moments OF danger, excitement and OF PUBLIC
terror as pcacemaker. And not In vain, for l
have seen him In his chosen role on all sorts OF
occasions when, sometimes, the cheek OF the
bravcst would blanch at the sight OF the little
man" going into gang Of roughs, crazy with
whiskey or partisan rage, and, taking some Hcrcu-
lean desperate by the neck, leading him out Ike
lamb And not less than for his high courage Is he
beloved BY the humble people afc::na him, and re-
spected by all who know him truly for his CARLY
his Kindness TO the sick and helpless and his a1th
full devotion to his Church and people ;
and In this supreme moment Of his fate when the
hearts OF anxious thousands are turning towards
that couch OF anguish, cannot realise that any one
should prefer to recall the errors OF early manhood
or the faults Of an untaught and undisciplmcd boy
hood For myself cannot choose but think OF him
irving or dead, as the man who, nine years ago,
interpcsed, unsolicited, 10 protect stranger from
Philadelphia. The writer Of these lines although
citizen, at the time, Of Philadelpna, was then per-
seen enough OF him to wish TO testify to his real
cbracter. Respectfully, TRUTH AND JUSTICE,

Deer Hunting.

From the Forest Register.l
Occasionally we see a man ride into
town with a deer stored away behind
him. In early life, we occasionally took
a ride for the same purpose, but that
was in the earlier settlement Of Ala
bama. We took no pack of dogs nor
guns, but often got a deer up behind us
and made for meeting house. These
modern hunters may feel good as they
come in with their game behind them,
but no such ecstacy as we felt in our
approach to the precincts Of the church,
with this festive fawn beside us, her right
atm elinging to our waist for support
and holding on for dear life. Every time
the horse stumbled she had to tighten
her hold, aud sometimes we wished the
horse would keep stumbling, to try if
she would not squeeze us into minee
meat. We often got happy before we
heard the sermon, and felt like shouting,
glory, glory That's what we call being
galvanized. Oh Calico Calico with
all thy faults, we still love the hens of
thy garment.
