sooiability in the Church.
BY MRS. MARGARET E. sANGsTER

Il. r..
Churches being composed of human,
and, therefore, imperfect beings, are often
far from realizing ideal perfection. A
church should be friendly place; a
warm, glowing and sympathetic atmos-
phere should prevade it; the members
ought to know ard cherish each other
all should be interested in it's outside ag-
gressive work, and should share its in
terror spiritual life. In some conprega-
tons, when new members are received
there Is pleasant custom, by which the
old members, rising, pledge themselves to
be brotherly and sisterly toward the new
Corners, to become acquainted with them
and in everything to treat them with
Christian courtesy and love. 1t would
seem that no such VOW should be neces-
sary, and yet there are churches in which
the VOW is a dead letter, and the obliga-
ton Is hardly acknowledged. Who does
not know churches where the fire in the
pulpit utter " fails to thaw the ice in the
pews? WHO has not been made aware
that, especially in our great cities, whole
families gradually fall away from church
going, from regular attendance on a place

tends them welcome. Nobody holds
out a cordial hand, nor looks at them
with interest, and they feel the chill that
congeals the heart of the stranger. For
awhile they keep, through their chill
dren, tentative connection with the
church, through the Sunday School. and
occasionally they drift into the sanctuary

to attractive music, but they drop out Of

One Result.

We take the following from lions Her.
dtd. What it deplores as the coming eff
feet upon New England we may fear in the
South, if our modern reformers carry
out their notions-man' right to do as
he pleases:
eve wish those of our citizens who
express and seem to feel little anxiety in
reference to the loss of the Puritan Sab
bath, and the growing habit of making
1T holiday rather than a holy day,
could see the result of such an expert
ment as illustrated in the instance of the
city of Cincinnati. About ten or fifteen
years ago we passed week in that city,
and noticed but little differences as to
the regard of the Sabbath in its popula-
ton, and apparent cessation of business
and closing of stores, from our New Eng
land cities. In our late visit, however,
we were amazed at the liberal progress
which had been made. AS we were 90
ing to church on Sunday, the streets
were filled with professions of men
members of labor clubs, with banners
and bands of music. Five thousand
persons of this description, portion
coming In from the country marched to
picnic grounds near the city, and spent
the day in drinking beer, and in sports
and dancing Their brazen music, as
they passed st. Paul's church, rendered
1T necessary for DIR. Hatfield to stop his
discourse for time.
The stores, of every description, were
open along the streets; and a walking
match, in the heart of the city, under a
tent. was kept in full blaze all day, with
martial music sounding, and mobs Of
roughs, filling the surrounding streets.
twas, in many portions of the city, a tete

Christian New Highlander desire such a
change as this? And are we not gradual

men may well ponder upon this inevita-
bic and dreadful drift to the European
Sabbath, unless an early recovery Of the
old sanctity of the day is secured"

The Aurora Borealis.

Although the conjecture hazarded more
than 160 years since, by HALEY, that
the aurora borealis was a magnetic phe-
nomenon, has acquired empirical GER
tainty from Faradays discovery of the
evolution of light by magnetic forces, as
well as from more recent observations,
the following extracts, translated from a
letter written by Herr Pastor emeritus
ID: M. F. Esmark, may perhaps be con-
sldered interesting, Herr Esmark having
observed the meteorological conditions
attending the display of the polar lights
for many successive years The aurora
is never seen during extreme cold or
northerly winds, but appears when an Or
binary arctic temperature is raised bv
southerly and westerly winds. and
is generally followed by snow. In the
southeastern part of Norway it seems to
be especially caused by south-easterly
winds, which are there very moist and
rather warm. Its appearance is always
accompanied by a falling barometer In
my opinion the phenomenon is due to the
following causes When wind laden
with warmth, moisture and electricity
comes in contact with body of cold air,
the moisture is converted into snow, the
warmth and electricity are thereby re-
leased, and the aurora is the result Of the
disturbances. The northern lights can
not occur in very high latitudes, because
the warm, moist air is cooled long before
it reaches them. In this way Herr Els
mark would account for the splendid APP
pearance of the aurora in northern Nor
way, where the sea winds, bringing
warmth, moisture and electricity from
the ocean, are met by cold land winds
from the interior. NM. Lottin, Bravais
and Siljerstrom, who spent winter at
Bosekop, in Alien Qat seventy degs. N. },
saw the northern lights 16O times in 2l0-
nights. The most vivid aurora that [
ever saw near Alien was towards mid
night of the 18th of November, 1874.
The Pickering lights played about the
masthead so like lightning that it was
difficult to believe they were harmless.
We had no snow, however, till the evening
OF the 18th, as we were entering Tromsoe
Harbor, and during the discharges of
light the compass needle was wildly err
ratlc.-G. r. Temple.

the loss of power in the Christian min

vocated an exposition and application
of the Word of God. He said that Ger

1t is reported that there is a remarka-

Sicily. A Roman Catholic priest chal-
lenged the Protestant preachers to a pub

cepted. The Protestants had large au-
dlences of Roman Catholics. From the
platform the controversy got into the
newspapers, and the public, it is said,
are most profoundly stirred.
Under the instruction of Miss Hook

have been started with an attendance of
4OO pupils. Opposition to Christianity
among the natives is rarely found. and
idol worship is becoming more and more

AEhSK EXPERIMENT.

The Engineer '':IOist with his Own Petird.' "
In the village of Strasburg, on Saturday
evening. an old tinsmith named George
Bare who had been much annoyed by
boys who tcased him and called him ugly
names undertook to frighten them in Il
very foolish, if not criminal manner. He
procured 4 cast iron box, such as is used
in the hubs of carriage wheels for the
spindle to play in, and plugging one end
of it with wooden plug he filed the box
with powder. He then closed the other
end with a plug in which there was bored
4 small hole. Laying down this internal
machine in an alley on the property of
Joseph Hull, for whom Bare worked, he
placed one end of a barrel Save against
the end of the loaded box that had
the tOuch-hOle' in it, and along the
stavc he laid train OF powder. As soon
as the boys put in an appearance he touch
ed a match to the powder train and in an
instant there was an explosion like that
produced by the discharge OF a cannon.
The cast iron box did not burst, but the
wooden plugs were blown from the end of
it and splintered into hundreds of pieces.
Before Bare could get out of the way lie
was struck by pieces of the shattered plug,
six or eight of which of various sizes en-
tered his leg above and below the knee,
some of them cutting the flesh clear into
the bone, and producing very painful if not
dangerous wounds. DR.. Keneagy, of Stras-
burg, cut out several pieces Of the wood,
and Bare was then sent to the county hos
pital, where another piece of the wooden
plug us large as hulled walnut was taken
from his lcg by Drs. Roland and Bolenius
Another Accident.
While Christian Grecnbarger, also of
Strasburg. was standing on a step ladder
in front of Daniel Potts's hotel filing a
lamp, the ladder gave way, throwing him
to the ground and injuring him so badly
that he had TO be carried into the hotel.

More I" EXDert" Testimony.

There is fair chance that a WGlnall
will be unduly hanged over in Carlisle
for murder which certainly has not
been made out Her attorneys, it seems,
did not think there was any chance for
her conviction and took no exceptions on
which to base demand for Il new trial.
She was convicted and has been con-
demned to death, and now that the pros
pect of her execution is staring them in
the face the people in that county are
disposed to take a more deliberate view
of the case and to question seriously
whether the facts of the case warranted
her conviction.
1t seems that the condemned woman.
Mrs. Eel. was neither of very good re-
pute nor of eStimable associations, and
Kiehl. who died from what Il rather Su-
perficial chemical examination pro-
nOunced to be arsenical poisoning. Mrs.
Zell was suspected and arrested and
tried. The trial showed Il rather SlOven-
ly eXa minatiOn of the remains, and meth
DDS employed that very fairly raise the
suspicion that, us often happens, the tests
for arsenic may have created the alleged
evidence of it. No motive for the crime
was fastened upon the defendant; no
proof of the purchase of poison was
furnished and altogether there was an
almost entire lack of connection of her
with the crime-if any was really COM
mitted. In the dead woman S cupboard
arsenic was found in proximity to baking
soda and in other places where any
attendant upon her would be as likely us
not to accidentally administer it. Neve-
theleSs, the mere accusation deepened
into Il popular belief of her guilt. and
this, added to her frendless position
hastened a conviction of Very doubtful
Justice. and which calls at least for a
merciful review. The tests for arsenic
poisoning and the microscopic expert
ments with blood cOrpuSclcs have of late
been SO frequently discreditcd that in
criminal trials we must after all 60 back
to the question of motive as one of the
chief elements in the proof of guilt, and
where that is shown to be entirely lack
ing it ought to require Il vast deal of
this doubtful expert testimony to hang Il
prisoner.

AnOthe: Silver Wedding.

The twenty y-tifth anniversary of the mar
riage of Mr.. r. B. Patterson and Miss
Joanna Stubbs, of Colerain township, was
celebrated OH Saturday at their home. At
about 10 o'clock their friends and nei~;,-
bors began to assemble until the COMPANY
amounted to about 100. The presents
were very appropriate to the occasion.
among the most valuable of which was a
deed for five acres of timber land present
ed by his brother, James Patterson. of
Little Britain. The consideration men-
toned in the deed was "brotherly love
and affection" The presentation speech
was made by Mr.. J. r. Patterson, of Phil
adelphia. After all had partaken of the
excellent dinner provided the large COM
pany were favored with short congratu-
latory addresses by Rev. Samuel Dickey
and Rev. C. w. Stewart, D. D. The an
niversary entertainment was an entire
success, and every one seemed delighted.

The Local Tobacco Market.

Transactions in the crop of 1876 continu,
to be heavy. The old buyers arc still in
the field and yesterday two or three new
ones arrived. Buyers show an inclination
to take the crops right along wherever
they find them to be good. or where the
prices asked are not eXorbitant. There
are, of course, some good crops that are
held too high, and there is good deal OF
poor trash that buyers don't want at all,
unless they can get it at very low figures.
These lots will probably remain unsold
until late in the season. The crop. as a
whole, is, however, going off rapidly, and
there is but little doubt that it will be
nearly cleaned out before the winter
closes. The efforts of interested parties to
''bear'' the market, has most si~nally
failed, and the aggregate sum received for
this years crop will foot up much larger
than that of any former year.
The report of the New York market will
be found on our fourth page.

THE First national bank OF New
York, the beneficiary of Secretary Sher-
mans favor, has during the past year
paid 1oO per cent. of dividends, carried
$5OO.00O to its surplus account, and, i'm
addition. it has on hand an undivided
surplus of S267, ZOO, making a total of 25O
per cent. profits. This is of course vastly
more than could have been made in legit-
innate operations except by the aid of
great government benefices. We doubt if
these have been extended by Sher-
man without some consideration. In
fact there is a suspicion abroad that Sher-
man has grown rich by the abuse of his
official position. People who know say
that he went into Congress poor and is
now a millionaire. He was chairman of
the Senate committee Oh finance and in
that position had abundant chances to
make money. His career has not been
such as to give the public any confidence
in his honesty. Given the opportunity
and the disposition and his present
wealth, it is fair link in the chain of
logic that he bartered his influence to
benefit himself. At any rate his sllspi-
cious patronage of the First national
bank merits congressional investigation.
