A CLERG MAN ON A SPREE.

A HoNEsDALE, PA, PASTOR REPRE-
sENTS HIMSELF As FRENCH COUNT.
A year or so ago the Kev. II. A. Hertz
berger was called from town in Ohio
10 the pulpit of the Lutheran church in
Honesdal', Pa. Of fine presence, elO-
quent and scholarly, he became at once
popular with his new congregation.
Three weeks ago he s. arted from Homes
dale on Western trip. On Friday, Sep
tember 5, large, distinguished-looking
foreigner alighted from an Erie express
train al this place. He was intoxicated.
He visited several drinking places, dis
played considerable money, and spend
ing it freely, He conversed IN several
languages, and said that he was French
Count. He said he had lately arrived in
this coun ry, and was on his way to the
Pennsylvania coal regions, where he was
largely interested in mines. He profess
ed also to own tract Of land in Ohio.
He remained in Port Jervis until the
next afternoon. Then he was put on the
train for Honesdale, for which place he
had ticket. A gentleman on the train
recognized in the alleged French Count
the Rev. II. A. Hertzberger. The preach
er was still intoxicated when he reached
Honesdale. The story Of his conduct in
Port Jervis followed him. No formal
charges have been preferred against him,
but his resignation has been demanded
by majority Of his congregation. The
Board Of Trustees of the church are
friendly to the pastor, and they decline
to take official action. A few III the con-
gregation refuse to believe the story OF
MIR. Herr zberger's Port Jervis escapade.
It is now charged that the preacher has
frequently appeared in the streets OF
Honesdale under the influence of liquor,
and that he has been intoxicated while
in the discharge of his pasto' al duties.
Some time ago he was charged with ia /
| ing in the street while drunk. He an
swered the charge in the pulpit by
so'emnly affirming that he had not toach-
ed liquor in many months. Thereupon
the trustees increased his salary. 10 the
demands for his resigna ion HertzbergeI
replies that he will not resign before the
1st Of January next. He breaches every
Sunday.

There seemed to be greater interest
manifested by parents and pupils during
the last term of school than any term
since we have had charge of the school
This in crest was shown bv the parents
who often favored US with visits, and il
was shown by the pupils by their deport
ment and the advancement they made in
their studies We hope this interest viii
continue to grow, both on the part Of
parents and pupils.
The term. that has just closed was a
very pleasant one to the teachers, ,and We
trust very prod able one to the pupils
The last week was spent mostly in re
viewing what had been gone over during
the term In the Higher Department o.
the school the review or examination
vas written and printed certificate ol
scholarship and department was giver
each pupil.
We had very interesting time at tht
close Of the term, the exercises consist
ing of select reading, and oral review il
geography and interesting and appropli
ate speeches by Revs Mcdonald snt
King. As our school room was yer,
much crowded by pupils and visitors The
exercises were not 80 enjoyable as the,
might have been hal we had more room
In conclusion We will say, We earnest
| ly ask the CO operation Of all parents
and frieEds of the school during th,
next term D McVEr.

There are some features Of the new
Pension Law which are not evidently
understood judging from the many IN;
quir;cs diraetsd To the Commissioner 81
Pensions from all quarters OF the coun-
try The law as it now stands includes
in its provisions tue soldiers who con
tinued in service after the surrender OF
Lee; includes in short the same as the
law has ever done-all service after the
4th of March. 1861. The act Of January
25th confined itself to those who served
during the rebellion. Instead OF allow
ing one man several times as much as
another for precisely the same disability,
the final amendments made an honest at
tempt to equal arrears. II the pension
was curtailed under the old limitation,
the arrears not now allowed from date
of, discharge. but from date of develop
ment Of pensionable disability, instead
of being fixed for the whole back period
at the rate which the pension was orig
inallv allowed The rate is now to be
graduated according to the degree of the
pensionahle disability from time to time
n the pensionable disability occurred in
the service the arrears date from the sol
dier's discharge. If the pensionable dis
ability arose after discharge (al:hough,
of course, the cause of it must have
come from service), then the arrears date
from the appearance or development OF
the pensionable disability Pensions al.
lowed by special acts, which always date
from the approval of said acts. unless
they themselves specify another date,
are not affected by the new law The
increase of 81 month to widows on
account of children and to children
themselves will not be affected by this
Law, such increase, as heretofore, will
not begin prior to July 25, 1856 The
arrears are payable from any money in
the Treasury not otherwise appropriated
How much OF this there will be remains
to he seen But it is not probable, what
ever this amount may be, that there viii
be any trouble or delay in paying suci
arrears as have accrued in claims not vel
ouce adjndicated and in claims where nc
pension has yet been allowed These
will probably be passed along and paid
as fast as allowed, as usual The Com
missioner of Pensions will soon be read,
to a,ljudica.e claims under the new law
and has already prepared notice fo7 /.
competitive examination for such addi
tional clerical force as will be required
