LIVERPOOL, April 4, 1879.
Gone where the wood -bine twineth." Yes,
we are gone, gone 1t seems the litigation
now in progress from our beloved place does
not deter certain parties from continuing on In
crime. Mr.. Naily thought 1t would exert O
beneficial influence, but we fail to see IT..
On Tuesday night three of the stained glass
in windows of the new M. e. Church were
broken by some unknown parties. This is
shocking and revolving to all the finer feelings
of humanity. 'Tis we'll the parties are not
known, and the dastardy act was SO commit
ted that not breath of suspicion now exists
against any party. But they are in our midst
nevertheless. On Wednesday night tools were
stolen from the blacksmith shop of r. Fritz,
which we're presumed to be used the same night
in breaking into the grain-house of Hon. NJ.
B. Holman. Who were the parties Don't
know. But they are with us nevertheless
Pelig Sturtevant's oars were taken the same
night. Parties returning the same will be
kindly dealt with. And / might go on.
/ sometimes think, though they inherit the
belief and are educated in the doctrine of ever
lasting punishment, that hell has no terrors for
certain parties, and If our duties as moral
and Intellectual beings-duties we owe to our
selves-each other-to our God = were as en-
ergetically preached to us as hell's fire. &c. we
would be benefited more, at least II would have
a tendency to civilize us.
Who are in a great degree responsible for
these crimes Who tacitly urge the commits
sion of these crimes Our lean, lank. timid,
cowardly, recreant citizens Who ever heard
of burglar or thief in this place being pun
lshed He is good souled fellow. He must
have been drunk. l pity him. You had bet
ter settle 1t. If he can't return the goods or
pay you, he is poor; you can stand it." And
SO 1t goes, and so 1t is, and SO it's settled. We
have just had evidence of it. and the proof
was positive. They all know It. They run
no risk. Everything is on their side. If It's
found out" return or pay what you have
taken," if not-"enjoy them advantageously."
If that is not encouraging, melting, stimu-
lating (and was going to say aiding) them,
know not what the tendency is. 1t beats h
amazingly, as the saying is.
The canal is ready and our boatmen have
nearly all left us. 1t gives to the town dull
like appearance.
&c Fittings were the order during the past
week, and many have changed their places of
residence.
'Tis with fearless eye that 1 communicate
the death of e. d. Ovens educated dog
"Jef.'' He was bright dog, an honest dog "a
beautiful dog, watchful dog. He was edu-
Gated only In those traits which SO highly dis
tinguished his master.
There is q fine opening for good black
smith in our borough. Our parties seem to en-
joy the outskirts of our borough, and we have
none in the borough proper. There is a good
stand for rent opposite the stable of the Wallis
House.
The NJ. E. Mite Society meets every Monday
night. The members,one and all, are working
energetically and hand in hand. You can see
the fruits. They are prospecting. No stand
still with them.
The Hon. M. B. Holman was with us until
Wednesday, when he left to take part in the
Riot Bill. He believes 1t clearly unconsti-
tutional.
Walter Snyder, Wilson Grub, John Reif-
snyder and L. W. Turner left for the Lancaster
Normal School. Walter graduates this ses-
