A report was current in Paris n few
days ago of the attempted poisoning of the
Pope by the Jesuits. Tho report was telc-
graphed by the P0pal Nuncio in Paris to
Cardinal Nina, and numerous inquiries were
made of the Pope's physician on the subject.
On his Holiness being informed of the story,
he is said to have called his private cham
berlan and said; "Thank the visitors, and
announce also in the antechamber that | am
feeling quite well, and that the poisoning is
only for the present a pious desire" Ac-
cording TO the Pail Mall Gazette, the report
seems, however, to have made an cXtraordi-
nary impression at the Vatican, and the
food introduced and cooked is examined
with scrupulous rigor. Speaking quietly OF
the matter, the Pope observed; "The Jesuits
are too wise. Were they ito attempt and
succeed, they know that the crime must be
traced home to them, and that my successor
would pay my debts to them" The Jesuits
have meanwhile, presented their ultimatum
to the Pope, demanding to be reinstated in
their old position, and to have their share
in the government of the Church, pointing
out the benefits to accrue from their support
and the damage they are still capable of do
ing. The Pope yields not an iota. He says;
"Let friars act the friar, and not meddle
with mundane affairs"

half of that OF President Hayes.
Joseph Rabcr was drowned in q shallow
stream in Union township, Lebanon county,
in December last. The circumstances of his
death, and the conduct of certain persons
since, excited suspicion, which was strength
ened when it became known that his life
had been insured for a large amount. The
insurance companies were about to investi-
gate tho matter, when Joseph F. Peters, Of
West Hanover township, charged John A.
Strcklcr, Charles True, Israel Brandt, Hen
ry Wise, Josiah Iummel and George Zech
man with having murdered Raber. The
accused were arrested Tuesday and lodged
in Jail. Raber's life was originally insured
for nearly $4,000, but by failure to keep
up payments, about $4,000 was dropped,
Policies are still good as follows: Home Mu-
tual, of Lebanon, 80 900; Keystone, of Allen
town, $4,000; Reading Mutual, 81 900; Mu-
tual Benefit, of Hartford, Conn, $4,000; New
Era, of Philadelphia, 81 900.

LETTER FROM PARRrvILLE.

PARRYvnLE, Feb. 9th, 1879.
Mr.. EDIToR,-Although some time has
elapsed since last wrote you, not much of
public interest has transpired within the hill
environed limits of our dormant village.
Nothing new touching our works. The
much -talkcd-of pipe industry has ceased, in
a measure, to be a topic Of conversation by
our people Indeed everything is so quiet
call along the line" that we have almost be-
come stoically Indifferent to all rumors. And
indeed, il is not to be wondered at when We
remember how often our fond dreams have
proven delusive and our most sanguine
hopes false.
Young America is bound TO enjoy himself,
however, be the times good, bad or indiiler-
ent In fact, children, in many respects,
view life much more philosophically than
we grown folks do, by acting upon the prin-
ciple that " life is what we make it"-thus
teaching older heads very practical lesson
Ardent youth, fortunately, ever looks on the
bright side of life; he sees only the silver
lining Of the cloud, and thus goes through
teeming years Ofyouth brimful Of enjoyment,
seeming to say, in the homely old verse
Then let tie world jog along as 1t VIII,
We u Do kay anu hdlpf hlll.'
In illustration of this fact, we may say that
coastng, sleighing and skating, in their res
pective seasons, have been, perhaps, in great
er vogue than Tor many years past among
youths and juveniles We have had within
the recent past several events of purely local
interest which were very enjoyable, such as
the donation 10 the worthy pastor of the NJ
L. church, Rev. q l.. Schailer, by the mem
bers of his Parryyille and Slaungton charges,
which was in every respect decided success,
both a surprise 10 the good dominic, and
a handsome and telling expression of the
warm regards of the people for their spirit
ual shepherd. It was decidedly the most
felictous event Of the season in our little
"burg."
The public school sleighing party was
happy treat to the pupils and was generally
well enjoyed, notwithstanding the nclem-
eney of the day. A series of refreshing and
inspiring meetings, held in the Evangelical
church for several weeks past, terminated on
Sabbath evening last. Quite a number Of
converts reported as the result of the labors
Of love.
This week meetings are being held in the
NJ. +. church, ReY. Schaelicr preaching
nightly. One convert on Wednesday even
ing, with fair indications for a series Of good
meetings
"Beautiful snow" has come to the rescue
Of Young America this week again hence,
We may, for a season, at least, expect 10 hear
his familiar, "Clear the Coast" till the air
OF shouts ofiov and peqls OF ninth,
hest quite nrsured tlsre'll be no learth.

Eight days after the death Of Judge Cad
walader, and but five after his honored re-
mains were carried to their resting place,
General George Cadwaladcr, his brother, was
also numbered with the vast congregation
of those who have seen the last of earth.
All five of the brothers Of the third genera
tion of this historic family have now passed
away. General Cadwalader was in his usual
vigorous health on Sunday last, and retired
to his room seemingly well in the evening.
Soon after he was seized with Opoplexy, be-
came unconscious, and remained so until
his death, about two o'clock on Monday
afternoon. No Philadelphian ofhis day was
more widely known, and but few who have
never served in civil Office had more ex-
tended popularity. For nearly half cen.
tury George CadwalaGer has been promi-
neut ctizen-prominent for his public spirit
in times of emergency in his city, State and
country. Though not trained to the Army,
his tastes, instincts and ambition were to-
wards the military side of the public SER
vice. He was thoroughly a soldier, and
served through all ranks, from captain to
the highest. lie was instrumental, very
early in his manhood, in giving spirit and
vigor TO our uniformed local militia, or
"volunteers," as they were then called, and
became brigade commander in the Phila-
delphia or First Division of the Pennsyl-
vnnia militia and subsequently, Major Gen
eral. In his capacity as Brigadier General,
he rendered important service in support of
the civic authorities of Philadelphia in
suppressing the destructive and sanguinary
riots Of 1874. For this he was given a memo
rial vase by the citizens Of Philadelphia
bearing the motto (most appropriate in his
easel, "The defence Of the law is the hero's
highest glory" The spirit of this motto ex-
presses General Cadwaladers relation 10 the
military service. He was so placed by for
tune that he had no occasion for office of
any kind, but the service that he felt he
could render was always ready at the call of
duty, and he did his full duty. His military
career in the war with Mexico was distin-
guished and brilliant, winning the highest
praise from the eminent soldiers under
whon he served during Scotts triumphant
march from Vera Cruz to the City af Mexico
with its cluster Of famous victories, Cerro
Gordo, Contreras, Molino del Rey, Churu-
hnseo, and before the gates of the Mexican
capital. In one of these General Cadwala-
der led a charge, in the face of a deadly fre
carrying the point assaulted with dash
that ELECTED the highest admiration.
On the breaking out Of the civil war he
was detailed by the Governor and mustered
into the ssrYiee Of the U. s., and on the lsth
