Tie Jews and the CruciGxion.

The old and t~enaciously maintained
fallacy that the Jews rs Il nation are
responsible for the cruciiiXion of Jesus
Christ, has long ago been exploded to
the satisfaction of every enlightened
mind. Tue principle fact that had
aided in unmasking this hoary false
hood was, that at the time of the Ad-
vent of the Jewish race was as much
dispersed throughout the world as ut this
present time, and had been so for many
centuries. Thus colonies exist now in
Europe, which founded in the earliest
ages of the dispersion, have carefully
handed down, from the time of their first
formation to the present day, localhiS-
tories, couched, in their first chapters,
in the tIaditionary language of Biblical
writers, and analogous in their marvel
Gus details to the Biblical narratives
they so closely follow. Every II who
has at any time taken any interest in
general history has heard of the
princely career of the AleXandrian
Jews, who, when they emigrated to
Spain, gave the latter country a race of
enlighred statesmen and mobiles who
raised her to Il higher pinnacle of pros
perity than she has ever since reached,
and who also immemorilly connected
with her history, the anne of some
distinguished l~iterati, which will be
pronounced with reverence and praise
when Spain, engulfed in the abyss of
monasticism and bigotry which she is
every day preparing for herself, shall
have seen her name erased o the
roll of European nations. The settle
ments OF these Jews were made long be-
fore the Advent. Again the Polish

able antiquity; and in Germany several
isolated own even found their civic
annals in the records of the local Jew
ish communities who appear to have
been the first settlers. Such, for ex-
ample, are Nuremberg, R%atisbon, Pra-
que, etc. In Ratisbon legend exists
to this day that SO highly esteemed was
its Beth H~amedrash House of Learnipg)
at the time of Christ that the Jews who
assembled to witness the crucifixion
sent special messages to ask its advice
as to the course they should pursue, and
the reply Of the Beth Humdrash was to
the effect that every peaceful means
should be employed to prevent the cat
astrophe. With a sublime disregard of
detail, however, the legend neither
mentions what became of the message
nor the messengers.

Concerning the Trustees.

Certain parties and portion Of them
are holding township Offices are very much
worried because we are looking up the
manner in which cur township affairs have
been carried on The same individuals

rance by saying that the Corporation did
not pay any township tax Is i any won
der that the affairs Of Reading township
have been managed as they have been when
the officials make such statements. Others
who are reaping the benefit ofdoabIe pay for
their labor are opposed to having anything
said about the matter. We repeat what We
have said, and the Trustees Lao,g it to be
/ true ). that they have been dIawinga salng
of sirty dollars per year, besides receiving
two dollars per day for their services. We
