REV. DK. j. w. NEVIS.
Nor His Natural Force AbatcG

ST. G. A., writing from this city to the
Reformed Church Messenger, of two SER
mons recently delivered in the college
chapel by Rev. DR.. Nevin, concludes as
follows: Three gentlemen, stranger, sat in
one OF the front pews to listen to this SER
mon. One of them, from Marietta, had
heard the venerable speaker thirty years
ago III Chambersburg. Seeing in the
papers that DR.. Ncvin was to preach, they
came to hear him. Approaching near his
etghtteM gear, his vision of the heavenly
world grows brighter and brighter, and
one feels, that his life is already more
there than here. "And Moses went up
from the plains of Moab unto the noun
tain of Nebo, to the top of Psgah. 80.
ll!seye was not dim, nor his natural force
abated.''
EditOrial'y the Messenger SAYS "It will
be pleasant to the former pupils and
many of the friends Of DR.. John W.
Ncvin, to know that although
sustaining no official relation to our irsti-
tutions, he is enjoying green old age.
He has now nearly reached his cighticth
year, yet, as our correspondent hints. his
eyes arc not dimmcd nor his natural force
abated. 1t seems strange that he
has seen SO many days; for many
of our ministers and others remember
him as in the prime of life, and before the
almond tree commenced to blossom, We
him upon the fact that he is
so "well preserved" and above all, that
the evening of his life is blessed by clear
visions of faith in the Incarnate One that.
after doubts and conflicts, often misurder-
stood, he sits in clidlike confidence with
Gods word in his hand and looks forward
to city that hath foundations. whose
maker and builder is God"

MIR. GARFIELD appears to he actively
interesting himself to secure the election
OF Il Republican senator from this state,
and the strong probability therefore is
that that one will be chosen. Gar;ield's s
influence will not only suffice to secure
an election, but it will be very likely to
be sufficiently potent to dictate the can
date. Mr.. Cameron with Mr.. GarGeld-s 8
help can have some one chosen who will
be agreeable to him; and perhaps the
O,hcr faction, 50 aided, caA do as much
for man of their choice. Possessing this
strong influence, Garfield, benga slrewd
man, will be pretty sure to give his at
ten'ion to securing Il senator who will
be faithful to himself, without much re-
garl 10 his other affiliations. Having
been SO long in public life, lie knows
many Of the prominent Republicans of
Pennsylvania, and can make ali intclli-
gent choice. It is rumored that his favor
is given to eX-Congressman GIenni W.
Scoiicid; which is quite likely. 1t is
certain. anyway, that if any Republican
is elected by the united Republican fac
tioEs, he will know that he owes his Sc
lection and election to Garfield, and lie
may be expected to govern himself ac-
cordingly in his senatorial conduct; un-
less MI. Garfield is greatly mistaken in
his man: which is not ut all likely.

Joseph n. Thibault was hanged in
Annapolis, n. s., yesterday for the murder
OF Charlotte Hill. at Lake View, in Sep
tenbcr last. Thibault rose early, and If er
dressing himself for his last appearance
among men on earth, passed considerable
time with priest preparing himself for his
approaching end. When summoned for
the execution he walked to the Sallows.
accompanied by the priest, and mounted
the scatfold with a firm step. He made
no combustion. At 8 o'clock the rope was
cut and the drop fell, the body falling
about six feet. Thibauit's neck was in
stantly broken. and he did not move a
muscle afterwards. In eleven minutes his
heart ceased to beat. and in fifteen minutes
he was pronounced dead. The body was

THE KINTZLER a.URDEREI,s.
They Are Reiuscs, New Trial and :
fenced 10 be HNnccd.

They Are Refused u New Trial and Sci-
fenced TO be Hanged.
The Snyder county court Ovcrruled the
motion for 4 new trial in the case of Enlan-
uel Ettinger, Israel Erb and Jonathan
Meyer, convicted Of the murder of Gretchen
Kintzlcr, an Old woman. and pronounced
sentence Of death on all of them. They
had all had separate trials, and in each
case the evidence as to their guilt was con-
elusive. Meyer was tried in December
last, and the testimony against him was
even more conclusive than that elected at
the trials of Ettinscr aud Erb, additional
facts having been obtained as to the hOrri-
bic murder from 4 young woman and De-
tective Lyons, who worked up the case, to
whom tho defendant lad made a confess
sion of his connection with the killing of
Kintzlcr and his wife, who had lived for
many years in y quaint old log house and
were known to have considerable money.
The murder was committed in December,
1877, and soon after several of the sus-
rectcd parties were tried for the mur'ler
of the old man, but the jury discarded the
testimony Of one of the accrmplces, Il
young girl, and they We're acquitted. The
case was then placed in the hands of De.
tcctive Lyons. of Reading, who has de-
voted nearly two years to the pursuit OF
the murt!erers, who were the second time
put on trial for the murder of kintzler's
wife. The court directed the sheriff and
Detective Lyons to convey the murlerers
to Jail.

A BAD GIANT.
4 Chester County Man Tries to Stran:!e I:is
Parcnts-at-Law.


Parcnts-at-Law.
a Chester county giant has been com
mitted to Jail on the charge of attempting
to murder his witc's aged parents by
strangling. The accused's name is Daniel
Hoffman, son.in law OF Joseph Haldeman.
The parties all live in East Nantmeal Chcs-
ter county. Joseph Haldeman and wife are
over 80 years Of age and their son-in-law
is about 30. His young wife is slowly
dying with consumption, and few days
ago lie informed her that he intended to
hang himself. She replied that y man of
his g:ant-like form and prOdigious strength
should be ashamed to make such a declar
alton. lie Went to neighboring store,
store, purchased a rope and came into his
wiie's presence, Haunting it in her face.
She fell fainting to the floor. Subsequent
ly she rallied and informed few neigh
bors. Hoffman was watched and frustrated.
Instead. however, of strangling himself he
watched his opportunity and, as is alleged
placed his fingers about the throats of the
old people, who were helpless, ann nearly
chcked them to death. The aged man ap-
pcared before Squire Ho5uct and 4 war
rant was placed in the hands of Constable
Syphcrd. of Springfield, Chester county.
Hoffman at once armed himself with
loaded shotguns and Il revolver. but the
officer and 4 few sheriff's deputies sue
cccded by strategy in entering the house
and making the arrest. He has ALWAYS
bcen looked upon rs apeaceaEle man and
recently joined the Methodist church. His
friends say that his mind has become al
fected aud that he was not responsible for
his conduct.

Tho Wrecked bohemian.

There is nothing to mark the scene of
the wreck of the steamer Bohemian OF
Crook Haven beyond large quantities of
the wreck which have washed ashore.
The masts have entirely disappeared. 1t
is now ascertained that thirty-five per-
sons were drowned, including the master,
the first, second, third and fourth officers,
the chief, second. third and fourth engi-
ncers and the quartermaster. Two invalid
sailors sent from Boston by the British
consul were drowned. Two men sup
posed from their clothes to be the master
and the first officer were seen at 10 o'clock
in the morning clinging to the wreck where
they remained for hours waving handker-
chief. Boats could not be launched
owing to the heavy surf, and they were

HARRY MINERS SHOW.
Tho Variety Entertainment Last Nj

Tho Variety Entertainment Last Night.
An audience of medium numbers was
present last night at the opera house to
witness the performance of the Miner
Rooney vaudeville company. The fact
that Pat Rooney had left the troupe and
would not appear having become pretty
we'll known doubtless operated to the
di advantage OF 4 full house. A good
many people hid an idea that ROOney's
show with the great Irish comedian ab-
sent would be like the play Of "Hamlet"
With Htmlet left out. There were, how
ever, many very excellent features in the
programme, among which were the Dutch
cccentricit:cs of Larry TO0ley, clever
dialect actor, whose singing, dancing and
conical sayings repeatedly brought down
the house. The Happy Hottcntots,''
L"mont and Duerow, pleased the audience
and their high-kickin. .ct was something
marvellous. Jcppe Delano and Miss
George kainc went through the
rather ancient Irritation act. which seemed
to take quite well. On every former
representation of this speciality here Miss
Fannie Delano performed the part that
Miss haine last night went through, and
the latter can scarcely be called an i'm
provement. Billy Carter made q hit in his
"sAJo p".y ssuuSIuS
marks, and was several times recalled.
The DaytOns-Tommy and Annic--are good
duo artists, the latter's rapid change from
the sarb and appearance of old ago to that
OF blaming youth being notably clever,
and the entire act was funny. The per-
formancc Of +. G. Dunbar, the Milanese
minstrel, who last visited here with Tony
Dsnier, was capital. lie plays we'll on his
O .Illiar instrument and is the DOSSeSSOr of
an uncommOnly powerful and musical
voice. Gallagher and Mack, song and
dance men, dance much better than they
sing. The entertainment concluded with
q very aughable sketch "Home, Sweet
Home,' in which Larry Toolcy's German
cccentrcities were effectively introduced,
and kept the audience in roar. While Pat
Rooney's absence created an "apparent
vacancy in the evenings entertainment
the performance on the whole was q good
one and gave general satisfaction.
