TO the Editor of Tho Herald,
You will allow me to make further
correction In regard to your hog shook
ing article Of the 18th. In order TO have
u proper understanding of the matter,
| shall first give tho original article,
then your correction, and, lastly,
wherein the latter Ia unsatisfactory.
ORIGINAL.
"Early yesterday morning Deputy
Sheriff Miller arrested n farmer named
L. J. Peyton II. Il. Peyton,) living six
miles south (three miles southeast) of
this CITY, on charge Of theft. Peyton
Is charged with killing ami appropria.
ting to his own use five hogs belong.
ing to A. Witty, n neighbor OF his.
Witty claims that he can prove that
the hogs were stolen and killed by
Peyton, who drove them oil in the
night. Peyton was brought into the
city, but upon giving the necessary
bond for his appearance at the next
term OF the court, was released"
CORRECTION.
Last week we stated that Mr.. L. 4.
Peyton had been arrested for killing and
appropriating to his own use five hogs
belonging to Mr.. Witty. Mr.. PeytOn
procured the original papers aud showed
them to us. He II only charged therein
with killing and manning the hogs
named. We make the correction cheer.
fully, as matter Of simple justice to
Mr.. PeytOn."
The above correction Is insufficient,
in that II does not deny the bringing
Of me- to the city, and in that 1t leaves
the superstition that the killing and
manning is charged to have occurred
at night, for some base, malicious pur.
pose, which Is not the case. 1t states
that the charge Is the killing and
manning of five hogs, whereas it Is
the killing OF one and the manning OF
two. The deputy did not carry me to
the city, but took my appearance bond
ut my residence. The above hogs were
running at large, ia violation of a law
of the neighborhood, aud were de.
stroying my crop when charged to
have been shot. The charge is, in sub
stance, that | shot them unlawfully
while destroying my crop. 1t il evil
dent that the original was not the re.
suit Of mistake, but of gross, willful
misrepresentation on the part of some
one. As your reporter told the deputy |
in my presence, without direct de, |
nial on the part of the latter, that the |
matter was just as delivered by him, | |
am forced 10 throw the blame on the |
deputy. Please publish.

Court Of Common Pleas Of this coun-
y. The cas- Involved the question

Joseph Bichty brought suit against
John HOldeman and others ia SI0,-
600 damages for enticing his wife TO
abstain from marital relations to

that all the parties were members of

I'll be repent aud is again received in
20 the church. 1t makes il the duty
Of the wife, she being a member, to
not eat at the same table with her
husband; nor talk with him, under
penalty OF being expelled from the
church and being forever lost for dis
obedience. She could, however,
keep house for him and family, which
consisted Of four children. This she
did for a year, he, In the meantime,
patiently and kindly trying to induce
her to act the wifely part with him
But On different occasions, when be
had nearly succeeded 10 winning her
back TO bin, these priests Of teachers
would step in and warn her that she
could not take such a sep without
the consent of the church, and if she
did her soul would be forever lost.
He then rented his farm and moved
away, to be from under this in1u-
ence, thinking his wife would go
with him; but this influence was
brought to bear hpon her, aad she
would not leave the society.
Thus did these men on the one
hand seize upon the strongest chord
Of the human heart, religious zeal
and faith, TO keep this wife from her
husband, that they might, on the 9TH
er hand, grasp the cords Of human
affection aud love to make a man
bow to the church in which be bid not
worship. They were willing to
break up a family which had been
maintained in peace and love for six
teen years, to compel this msa to do
their bidding. They made their own
defense in court, o believing in law
yers. The Bible was their law book,
from which they read in parts from
Numbers and Revelations. Simon
Mennil, of Holland, who lived ia the
sixteenth century, was their COM
mentalor. By the Bible they sought
TO justify their course, and. under
the plea If religious tolerance. guar
anteed by the Constitution, claimed
a verdict in their favor. 1t is per-
laps safe to say that such a people
and such a defense was never before
seen or heard of in the courts of this
country. 1t was the sixteenth and
nineteenth century face to face. The
testimony being all 10, and the ar
guments having been made, the oaso
went to the jury, who soon brought
IN a verdict giving 50, 500 damages
to the plaintiff. The ease has excl
