may say that the music ofthe choir, rendered
from time to time, contributed greatly to the
interest Of the occasion.
The report of Mr.. AGREE, as to the work
and progress OF the Association, was about

many newspapers and nIa@azines, but the
effort to make the rcadi1g-room u place of
popular resort hsd not been very successful.
No series of religious exercises were held
under the auspices of the Association, and
there was no established method of dispens-
ing charity. ...
Mr.. Acree, in retiring from the presidency
OF the Association, thanked the members for
the honor and courtesy they had shown
him. After about half an hour spent in

the excessive modesty Of the nominees-or.

Rev. Mr.. Holmes was introduced and
spoke. His point, which thought was put
in a semi:jocuar way at the first, was this:
The ancient Scythians Worshipped power
and idoliZed the sword as an emblem of
power; we worship power, and with US to-
bacco as an emblem Of power. But material
prosperity without corresponding intellec.
tual, and moral, and religious culture, could
not produce high and happy state of soci-
ETY..
Rev. C. C. Penick, of the Church of the
Messiah, Baltimore, spoke by invita-
ton. Beginning with tender allu-
sion TO the time when be stood in this church
as volunteer for the Confederate army, he
passed quickly to the practical, aud was very
pointedly practical. Routine business should
De done at the private meetings of the AS.
ISOLATION regular religious exercises should
be held by the Association, and in these the
members should do their own singing;
system for dispensing charity which would
guard against imposition should be inaugu-
rated and if we were so prosperous and
highly privileged that there could be found
no field of labor for the Association amongst
she white people, the twenty-five hundred
negroes employed in the DanYille tobacco.
hoHses are men to whom God has placed us
under obligations from which we cannot
escape. ALPHA.

RosEvILLE, PA, February 10.-Eberhard
Beilman, an eccentric old German, lived alone
in Giles'S Hollow, near this village, for seve.
raj years, and as he had received money from
Germany at stated periods, and neither
spent 1t all nor invested 1t 10 any way, the
inference was that he secreted it. Beilman
goes to bed at $50 O'Clock in the evening,
not only locking bis doors, but barricading
the front door with heavy bar, and the
back. door with heavy chest. At about
O'Clock on Tuesday morning he was called
from bis bed by some one who said
be was freezing. Beilman raised oHe
corner of bis window-curtain aud looked out.
He saw two large men masked and armed
with clubs. Beilman instantly decided to
escape By the back way, and hastily putting
on his pantaloons he pushed the chest away
from the back door, drew the bolts, aud
sprang out. he was seized, aud before be
could utter cry large band was clapped
over bis mouth. His capter whistled, and
the two men ran to him from in front Of the
house. He was taken back into the house
and gagged and bound. The robbers then
tackled bed-quilt to each window, and then
struck light. They tied Beilman in a
chair, and then began to raDsack the house.
They emptied his chest and scattered
is contents on the floor, finding about
5000 in gold. They ripped open straw
tick and found 5000 in greenbacks. Con-
tinuing their search, and finding no more
money, they threatened Beiman's life if he
did not tell them where the rest of his
money was, but he would not. They then
sprinkled him with kerosene oil and piled
paper and straw under his chair and set fire
to it, threatening to burn bin to del'b, and
he yielded. He told them where 81 900 was
hidden, and after he had sworn on Bible
that that was his all, they took it and went
away, leaving him bound in his chair.
Beilman invariably visited the village every
morning to buy quart of beer, and as be
did not appear on Tuesday msrning suspi
cion was aroused, and then few villagers
went to bis place in the afternoon, and found
him as be bad been left by the masked rob-
bers. The room was in confusion, and the
floor beneath bis chair was burned nearly
through. The legs and bottom OF the chair
were also burned. Beilman says that he has
$4,000 left, and that with that he will &c
back to Germany.
