The Presbyterian church was crowd ed
on Sunday night last with an audience
anxious to hear Rev. Dr. Monroe preach
on temperance, license, &c. The large
auditorium of the church was filed to
overlooking, and chairs had to be set in
the aisles. There was large choir and
the service of song was quite beautiful and
entertaining. In addition to DR.. Monroe
Reverends Laurie, Steck and Woodcock
occupied the pulpit an array of clerical
talent before which the devil might well
tremble and draw in his horns, to say moth
ing of his cloven foot.
The sermon was able and very much to
the point. The Reverend gentleman took
advanced ground, even going so far as to
condemn the practice of putting the names
of hotel keepers and saloon keepers into
the iury-box. He did this on the ground
that ministers should not be afraid to speak
out what is in their minds. lntemperatc
or drinking men, he said, should not be
elected TO make our laws, nor should hotel
or saloon keepers be allowed to sit as
jurors.
The discourse was'long and interesting,
but the preacher somewhat mscontrued
the law in regard to license. He seemed
to think that under the law OF 1856 the
courts had no discretionary power In re-
gard to license, but were compelled to
grant licenses to the right sort of men,
while under the law of 1875 the courts
have full discretionary power to grant OF
withhold license, as they please. We
| think this is a mis- take. The courts have
no more discretionary power now than
they had under the 1856 law, and they had
| no less then than they have now. The
matter has always been discretionary with
the courts. We do not think that any law
was ever passed compelling the granting OF
| license-at least we have never heard OF
any suit being entered against any cour,
| for refusing 10 grant license. Be this as
it may, however, we would rather have
the law explained by judge on the bench
than by preacher in the pulpit. When il
comes to the law of God, give us the preach
er, but when one of the incomprehensible,
mixed up acts of a State legislature is tt
be unraveled, we prefer to have the worl
done by one who has made it his study anC
whose duty it is to expound it for th'
| guidance of his fellow citizens.
| But generally the sermon of DR.. Monroe
gave great satisfaction. 1t was logical
ELOQUENT and pointed, and must have mad'
old Satan bite his lips with vexation. A
the same time we decline to concur will
the Reverend gentleman in the opinion
that respectable landlords are unfit to sii
as jurors. s-Beletonte Watchman.

Our people were shocked Monday eyen-
ing to learn that G.. L. Kostenbauder had
committed suicide in the shoemaker shop
at the rear Of his store on Main street. The
affair occurred about six o'clock, he being
alone In the building at the time Mrs,
Kostenbauder and the clerks having gone
to supper. The means employed was a
large.sized revolver, the bullet entering his
head just back of the right eye and passing
directly through the head, the ball showing
emily gone back into the shoemaker shop
soon after his wife left the store, and sitting
down upon the workbench, placed the
muzzle of the pistol against his head and
pulled the trigger. The body was first dis
covered by Mrs. Kostenbauder upon re-
turning from supper, and the alarm given.
Help was instantly at hand, Drs. Vastine
and j. X. Robins responding, but it was
too late, as death had probably been almost
instantaneous. The only cause that can be
assigned for the rash act is temporary ill.,
sanity, as all who saw Mr.. Kostenbauder
during the day noticed that he seemed in
excellent spirits and looked better than he
had for months before. Esquire Ellis held
an inquest upon the spot, and verdict of
suicide was rendered in accordance with
the above facts. The funeral will take
place from the late reiidence of the deceas-
ed on Main street this Thursday afternoon
at 2 o'clock, interment in Greenwood GENE.

The skeptical editor of the Lewistown
Sentinel says "The first days Of April were
delightful spring days-in the almanac.
Flowers burst forth into full bloom-in the
window pots. The birds sang sweetly-in
their cages The fields and mountains ar
rayed themselves in beautiful-snow. The
soft and pleasing muimur of the little
streamlet could be heard as 1t gently
and steadily flowed-into ones cellar.
The air was mild and balmy-over the
register from good and vigorous furnace
The spring bonnet charmed the beholder-
from the pages of the fashion magazine.
The spring trade was above the average
in umbrellas and gossamers. And already
there is large early spring crop of-rheu-
matism and snifiles."

a Novel wayto Make Collections.

People who lye in Elmira says an ex-
change, and who promise to pay their debts
and don't pay them, do not have very
good time tins year. Some smart Yankee
who settled in that town bethought him
self of a new style of collection bureau
which is calculated to make things ex-
ceedingly interesting for folks who are bad
pay. Subscribers pay moderate sum
yearly and place their bills in the hands OF
the bureau managers. A collector is first
sentIin citizens clothes, to see the debtor !
if he can't get anything second collector
goes, who wears striking uniform and
hat marked collector" in very distinct
letters. He visits the debtor three times
and failing a third collector goes out with
collector of bad debts" coaspicuously dis
played on his hat. He sees the debtor
every day and is also seen by everybody
in the debtors office, so that the money Is
very apt to be forthcoming. In fact, the
success of the scheme is said TO be phe-
no menal.
