t'aiiamlaifrua Repository and Messenger. Among the leading aud most influential Republican Journals of tle state is the Ilorbester democrat and Chronicle. All its departments are conducted with skill and ability by "wideawake' and exterieuced journalists. The fol- luwing first rate notice we find in the Journal: 'Charles E. Fitch, the political and general editor, is a gentleman of literary culture and i journalistic experience, and many of his arti- cles are of remarkable vigor and force.

The fame of the 'Current Topics' of this pajer has become national, at time? fairly 'boiling over' with wit and humor. The local department is- also well-conducted, full and reliable, while the news from everywhere in its telegraph and other columns are an epitome of all that going on from day to day the world over, The daily arrives here before daylight every morning, several hours before any other morn- ing papier, and is, as it should b-j, the favorite morning newspaper in this vicinity' Death of Tlr. Klchard Dranifleld. The death of this estimable woman took place on Saturday afternoon last. She had been a resident of this city for forty-three years, and for most of that time had lived it the family residence on Allen street.

With her husband she came from England to Amer-: ica in and after going as far west as Cleveland, finally decided to return and locate PvOhester. She has fulfilled a long Lfe, being at the time of her death in herjeventy- first year. She was a kind neighbor, loved and respected by every one who knew her; a fond mother and an exemplary Christian. She was the mother of James and Kobert Iranstielrl, and of our well known townsman, Thomas Dransfield. The two former are dead.

James died at Annapolis, en route home from the relel prison at Florence, 8. C. Kobert died in Montreal in while on a trip to meet his wife and child in New Hampshire, He was a printer and well known to a large circle of acquaintances. Marry, an only daughter, is now living in Chicago, and is the wife of a former resident of Kochester, Edward C. Cooke.

The bereaved friends have our warmest sympathy in their affliction. The fnneial will take place Tuesday afternoon from the family residence on Alien street. A Card.

Well-to-do farmer Found StlflT and 4 old by tbe Road-Mde-He np-posed to have been Frozen to Death A Coroner Takes 'barge of the Cmme and Empanel a Jury -Tbe Inqneat Interrupted by Physician who Declare the If an to. be Allve-Auluiatlon Keatored. About 0 o'clock last Friday morning a stiffened body was found in the highway opo-site the residence of John Morehouse, about two miles north of Seneca Falls. To all appearances the man was frozen, the limbs were rigid, the face was pale, the eyes had a glawy look and there were no signs of life. Mr.

Morehouse placed the supposed corpse In a wagon and conveyed it to iSeneca Falls, where delivered it to the police. It was placed in Mr. Metcalfs store and Coroner f'urdy was notified. A case this kind always attracts a crowd. The people gathered and scanned the face of the supposed dead man.

Every one pronounced him dead frcwen to death. He was recognised as John Hammell, a farmer living two and a half miles south of the village. He had started for home the night before, but apparently became bewildered and went north instead of south. Alxmt 10 o'clock some one nocked at Mr. Morehouse's door and asked for a drink of water.

The family bad retired and, supposing the stranger to be a tramp, he was told that the well was outside and he could help himself. This is supposed have been Hammell, who was found near by the next morning. Coroner Purdy arrived, summoned a jury and began to inquire, according to law, how and by what means the man then and there lying dead came to his death. Dr. Lester looked at the supposed remains and after a careful examination said the man was alive.

They laughed at him, but he insisted so strongly that life was still within the stiffened body ttiat Nicholas Durnir, a brother-in-law of the deceased, cause! the body to le removed to his store. The coroner's inquest was then interrupted and the inquest, and jierhaps a funeral, was averted. It wasalwut 11a. that Dr. Lester commenced his work of restoring life.

Between 2 and 3 in the afternoon he was enabled to pry open his patients mouth and administer some hot sling. Soon after the eyes opened and closed and the physician felt sure of his case, while those ho had contended that the man as dead were satisfied of their error. About 7 o'clock in the evening he showed more signs of life and seemed to make an effort to speak. He remained unconscious, however, until about 4 o'clock Saturday morning, when he awoice a from a long dream, lie could not remember the past, however, knew that he started from home but all after that was a blank. By 0 o'clock Saturday morning consciousness was fully restored; and, although his fingers, toes, nose and ears are badly frozen, he will recover.

He was removed to his home Saturday afternoon. Mr. Hammell can thank Dr. Lester for the fact that the coro-nci- jury did not return a verdict that he came to his death from exposure, that he was not placed in a coffin and buried alive and that his family and friends were not called upon to inouru his unfortunate death.

Re-assemlding in the afternoon, an excellent paper, "Does It Pay," was read by Mrs. W. C. tSylla. ireceptress of the Brockport normal school.

Com. R. Shelton of T-elloy gave a leson in philosophy, which was interesting and in-tertaining. Frank I. Baker, assistant superintendent of tbe Western house of refuge, presented a I8per upon the very fertile subject of "Bad Boys." From Mr.

Baker's experience with that class it was expected that his paper would be of unusual excellence, and in this expectation no one was disappointed. We take pleasure in publishing a condensed report of Mil. baker's paper.

the "VV, to in the the riuI in if He at I is i i in I i I I i i AI DAI CIITERS. Sermon at It trior, Rev, Lns.ee Church the Henry AnalU-e, P. D. A sermon embodying an unusual number of useful hints aud suggestions was delivered last evening in Ht. Luke's church by the rector, the Rev.

Henry Anstice, D. D. The theme of the discourse was the duty owed by our daughters to home and society; and by way of introducing his subject, Vr. Anstice read a portion of the twelfth verse of the 144th Psalm: That our daughters may be as corner-stones, polished after the similitude of palace." He said that King David prayed for the national prosperity, and in doing so looked toward the daughters as being that portion of society upon whom the responsibility rested. Womau must be moulded, polished and educated to possess a strong symmetrical religious character in order that she should be a tkting comer-stone of that great structure society.

Ideal womanhood was useful, beautiful and religious, the adornment of society and the ornament of the lesser circle of home. Home was a talismanic word, a word which comprehended all that many held dear, and possessing an interest felt by all. To the class which was addressed, home was a God-ordered sphere. The mother must be the r-tral figure of the family group, toward whom all the members look with respect and regard for an example by which to measure their course. A great deal depended upon the daughter of the family, the mother regarding the daughter as an assistant in the labor of love.

The man of business coies home at night, weary with his day's toil anu does not feel jual to' the eask of exerting himself to contribute much to the home enjoyment. He depends upon his wife and daughters to afford him that pleasure and recreation which, if he does not find at home, he seeks in the selfish enjoyments of the club-room. The tired wife, compelled to assume the cares of both mother and father, will faint from weariness unless the daughter lend her strength to receive the burden, We were not individual but had been placed in families where the members were mutually dependent in order that we might be the better prepared to asso-I ciate and mingle with our fellows in the walks of life. The daughter could not be a cypher if she would in the family, and therefore, her aim should be to make her home a happy one. Bnt to make a home happy you must le contented and happy yousrt If.

A cheerful spirit was infectious; petty tempers, a fretful, passionate or jealous disposition would engender family storms fatal to domestic happim-'-s. Let it be acknowledged that filial duty bad claims upon the daughter's time. Not culy let her love her mother, but let her assist her in her household work; lighten hr labors wherever and whenever it was ptssi(le. She was not to do this with an officious m-mner, conveying an impression that she was. lietter able to assume the management of the houe than her mother, but in offering her assistance she should maintain a tender consideration of the respect deserved.

A sisterly love could do much to restrain a wayward or reclaim a lost brother; the power was immense which a sister wielded. It was too often the case that a brother reserved all his politeness and amiability for other places than his home, but if the sister would conduct herself in a loving manner towards him, spare for him some of the smiles and sweet remarks which she lestowed so generously upon men of fashion she would without doubt inspire a feeling of love and tenderness in his breast. There were domestic graces essential to a well-ordered home; some of these weie patience, tact, economy and industry. Without a knowledge of duties of the good housekeeper all other qualifications lost their lustre. It was the grossest of misplaced kindness for parents not to teach their daughters household duties.

Fond, but foolish mothers, would not bore their daughters with care so long as the dear girls were having a good time. It is far easier to charm a man into matrimony than to hold his respectful regard throughout the wedded life. Tbe young wife would strive in vain to please her husband if he was forced to eat heavy bread and cindered steak at his meals. Many youug girls looked upon mar- riage as a limit and tiere their career wou'd end like their novels. The daughter should not congratulate herself upon the possession of wealth and use this as an argument against the neceiitv of her learning the duties of tbe housewife.

It was alwavs the nart of a lady to have the knowledge requisite to superintend and not become a prey to ignorant domestics. Boidea tune was fickle and riches could be disiiated in an hour. Too many young ladies depended upon the marriage ceremony to impart to them that knowledge which long experience can alone give. There was no royal road to domestic excellence. The faithful, useful, loving daughter became the faithful useful, loving wife.

Much time was frittered away in the foolish practice of castle building, the wanderings of an exuberant immagination which were fostered and strengthened by the perusal of that class of fiction to which young ladies were addicted. The antidote for this pernicious influence was industry, domestic and intellectual. Hoc iety has its charms, its turmoils, its ambitions and its hollow ness wai viewed with delight not yet emerged into its whirl of ex-cellment. To them it glittered, shone sparkled. They dreaded ntt its temptation the temptation with which a good and pure society is not without.

Tbe first query of the girl about to enter society was wherewithal shall I be clothed. A desire to be well dressed arises from a inhered! love for the leauti-ful, a rigid plainess of apparel is by no means agreeable ana slovenliness is positively difgrareful. But that stvle of drs whu-h makes too large a draught ujion our means, or consumes to ninch time in the arrangement could not but be reprehensible. The speaker invoked younK ladies to talk sensibly not to sj-eak sacastically nor contemptuously of those who where aliment, aud above all nt to recall the tittle tattle and while lies of society gossip. Such conversations showed either a lad heart or an empty head.

Heavily tilings should not be lightly sioken of, no young man would offend a lady's sense of propriety a second time if she did not encourage him. Pleasure should not be sought as a business, or it would soon lose its attractiveness and tiecoine as distasteful to the de-vote as lalior itself. Let our daughters seek happiness in the enjoyments of society but let them not be so far carried away by it charms as to become oblivious to the duties they owed to home and religion. Evening Services at the Cathedral. To the KiWor of the democrat ar Si As usual, an immense congregation was present in St.

Patrick's Cathedral la-it evening, attracted, doubtless, by the beauty of the ceremonies and the high quality of tbe music afforded by the choir, as well as by the influence of religion. The Catholics of Rochester are evidently proud of this splendid edifice which they have erected, and well Xleased with the remarkably efficient manner in which all its sendees are conducted. Uight Rev. Bishop McQuaid occupied his usutd iosi-tion on the left of the altar, and Hev. Father De Kegge performed the duties of celebrant.

At the proper time Kev. Father Obome ascended the pulpit and preached an uncommonly and instructive sennon from the text, Whose sins you shall forgive, they are fur-given and, whose sins you shall retain, they are retained." Many excellent illustrations were drawn from holy writ to support the talented young preacher's argument, that the keys of heaven were in the church's keeping, and that no one could enter into thatalode of except through the agency of the church, and by using tha key of jxTiance. The sermon wan so full of logical scmenc of i deduction and coherent thought, and so free from mere verbiage that a verbatim rejNrt a if 'lie would do it justice. One feature in the delivery was the unaffected simplicity of manner observed by the reverend speaker, a quality ru rely to be found in clergymen of bis nge. It is alinot unnecessary to say that the music was good.

It was noticable, however, I that the powerful and melodious bass voice of frank Ijeideckcr was in fine condition, amply sustaining his high reputation as a vocalist. The singing of the soprano vocalist, Mrs. B. Million, showed that her voice bait lost none of its richness and sweetness, and that she fully retains her artistic skill and grace. OlISfcHVEIt.

Tbe Lake Supply Opened-Free Pan-ace ProTlded to the Reaervolra Mow it Went Tbroaga the Pipes-M range Scene. A lens the Line Filling the Rmh and Itoeheater Reservoir.

The eye of the public rests upon the long line of pies through which it was expected to bring water to this city from Hemlock lake aud the public mind has patiently awaited the announcement of the fact that the fluid was flowing through the mains. It is doing so now, and in a few days the valves will be turned and it will pass into the city street pipes. At 5 o'clock Saturday evening the water, under the personal supervision of Engineer Tubbs, was allowed to pass from the lake into the pipes. In company wuh the four assistants, Mr. Tubbs then started on foot for the Kush reservoir, eighteen miles distant.

It was necessary to make the journey on foot, I localise no carriage could carry them along tae line and because there was work to do. Between this city and the lake tHere are ninety-three air valves, which had to be opened as the water passed through in order to give egress to the air. The opening of these valves afforded some rare sights. The air was greatly compressed; and, when the valve was opened, it rushed out with a sound louder and more shrill than a locomotive whistle. It had a phosphorescent glimmer and, in the darkness of the night, presented a weird appearance.

When the air had been driven out, the water burst forth with much force, rising high in the air from forty to eighty feet. As sixm as a clear stream of waier showed that the air had all been driven out, the valve was clo9ed and the party proceeded on their way. The shrill whistle of the air, made the country ring for miles around and startled the good people, who could not imagine the cause. They flocked down to where the party were working, and enjoyed the spectacle very much, and it was one to be enjoyed, for it had never happened before and never will again. The newr that the water was coming went faster than Mr.

Tubbs and his party, and all along the line they found the people standing by and listening for the sound, and wherever an air valve was opened they congregated. As the night wore on, the party worked their way down the line. The farmers were awakened by the shrill whistling and left their beds to learn the cause. It was thought by many that the water would never flow through the pipes, they insisted that it could not be sent up hill and down hill, that the land was higher than the lake, and that the work would prove a failure. Some had even wagered that the water would not flow five miles from the lake.

fto flwl(1 fastJr than the party could keep up with it and open the air valves. At half-past 1'-, seven hours and a half alter it had left the lake, a gurgling i i .1 1 .1. dicate that it had It haJ throned, eiehtn miW and. as it nonrwl its volume into the immense reservoir, it proved that those who said it would not now had spoken falsely. It was allowed to run into the Rush reservoir until 10 o'clock yesterday morning, when the valves allowing it to pass beyond there were 0ened and it started for this city.

rom Hash to the Kochester reservoir it ten miIea ftt oi5 o-0iock the water put in an apTiearance at the latter place to tell that it had traveled that ten miles. It is now flowing at full head into both reservoirs, and the volume discharged is estimated to be about 7,000,000 gallons every twenty-four hours. Hemlock lake water has reached Rochester. and the people will soon have what they have so long asked for. It is designed to fill the two reservoirs partially before allowing the water to enter the city mains.

The reservoirs hold over 100,000,000 gallons so that it will take several days to fill them, and thus allow the fluid to circulate through the citr. The Cane of 11 r. Uattabnn. To th Editor of the Democrat and Sir On my return from Albany I learned that in the of Mrs. Mury Rathbun, recently declared sane by a jury, the commissioners are charged in newspapers with hav ing made this finding.

The commissioners only returned the finding of the jury, and ojenly. announced their dissent from its con clusion. The evidence of former associates of Mrs. Rathbun was meager, but in the opinion of the commissioners the evidence as a whole, coupled with Mrs. Rath bun's volun- tary, unreserved and frank statement before them and the jury, left no rational doubt that her mind was unsound and that she should be declared unfit to manage ber affairs or to pro- tect her person.

The jury were carefully charged rules and definitions of law were stated to them, and their attention was called to the facts to which these were applicable. They were reieatedly informed that her interests and the care of her estate for her use and of her person were the primary and controlling objects of the proceeding. That the dangerous ne of a pixtol, unless the act was insane, might perhaps expose her to criminal proceedings. tShe is a lady of refined culture. The prol ability or improbability of the conduct and statement of so delicate aud refined a person leing sane, was submitted to the jury.

The questions of fact as such were left exclusively to the jury with instructions as to the law and their duty. Of course the commissioners had no control over the finding of the jury, and attempted none except as briefly suggestcL They are responsible for their verdict and the commissioners are responsible fur tbe dLharge of their dt.ty with honest fidclitv. I apprehend that the judges who preside at jury trials would sea reel- consent to be held responsible for all the verdicts. It is one thing to receive and rejHMTt a verdict, and it may be quite another thing to believe it to be the proper verdict on the facts. I intend no imputation whatever on the integrity of the jury, but simply to let the public understand that it was jury's verdict the commissi oners returned and not their own and therefore when the commissioners are stated to have found Mrs.

Katubun sane, it is a mistake of fact. The jury did hat they thought proper, ar.d the commissioners had no control over it, except to return the verdict to the court. J. 1. Husbands, Chairman Commissioners.

Fochrstei; Jan. 20, 1STG. A Darius Saturday morning a man who had graduated from the house of refuse hi this city and more recently from jail, committed a dariug burglary in Linghamton. Tlie following account ot the affair is given: "John Haydeu, a burglar from Owego, entered the house of George A. Kent, a tolwccoiiist, on Court street, at 3 o'clock this morning.

Kent, hearing a noise, got up and found tlie burglar in his bedroom, armed w-ith a knife, which Kent mistook for a pLstol. He told the burglar, who was masked, to take whatever he wanted and go away, and to show that he would not molest him, Kent went back to bed. The burglar took a watch and chain and a pocket-book containing some money, and went into the sitting-room, shutting the bedroom door. Kent thertuj-on pinched his baby to make it cry, w) that the burglar would not hear his movements, and going to tlie doorway beran ill inx at the burglar, ho was standing under a galigtit in the sitting-room. He fired four times, but missed him.

They then clinched and Kent fired two more shotn, one of which took effect iu the muscles of the burglar's right aim alve tlie elbow, and the other in the riht breat. The lat shot took an upward course and lodged in the man's side. The burglar fell ith Kent on top of him. While Mrs. Kent was gone for the stove poker to as-sist her husband, the burglar freed himself from Kent's grap and escaped.

He hastened to the house of John lunn, on Henry street, half a mile away, and representing that he had leen shot and robbed by highwaymen, obtained admittance and a doctor as sent for to drese his injuries. The police found the burglar at Dunn's an hour later, and took him in custodv. He is badly wounded ami in a low condition, but may recover. Hay den had no pistol, but an accomplice in the house with him was armed with a revolver: he, however, ran off hen Kent began firing. Hay den refused to give his name.

The newspapers furnished full details of the affair under flaming head-lines, the police carefully investigated it and active search was made for the remains of the victim. The facto of the case showed that C.

I. Ormiston and George Snyder came to this city and entered the employ of the alove named company. They boarded with Mr. Cheever, and Ormiston paid his attention to Miss Lucy Harrison who resided near by. Two or three weeks before the finding of the articles in the road, Ormiston received a letter, learing the picture of a coffin and threatening him with death if he married Miss Harrison, and that lady received a similar epistle, A secret marriage took place, however, and at the request of Ormiston, Miss Harrison retained her maiden name and said nothing.

On Sunday night, November 8th, he went to church with her, accompanied her home and remained with her until half-past 2. when he started for his boarding house, but disapieared mysteriously. When the facts of the case were published, some thought that Ormiston had alsconded. while others be lieved him to have been foully dealt with. In a few days public interest in the case ceased.

and now. when it has almost been forgotten, it is brought prominently lefore the people by the arrest of the missing man. Ou Saturday night Policeman Crowley was informed that Ormiston was in the city, and a relative of the lady he had so basely betrayed and abandoned pointed him out. Officer Crowley arrested and took him to police headquarters. The man who accompanied him was recognised as Snyder, his fellow -workman in the brick-yard.

Seventy-five dollars were found on the person of the prisoner. He was questioned and told a strange story. He says he was waylaid while returning home on the Monday morning above referred to; that a hhuiketwas thrown over his head, his arms were pinioned and he became unconscious. When he recovered, he found himself on an Indian reservation in Canada. How he got there he does not know, nor did he ever afterward see his kidnappers.

He was allowed to depart and did so, going to work at Gait, Out. He assumed an other name, and was only, as he says, pre- iT. 7 fact that he had no money. hen he had earned some of that necessary article. he hur- imiiuima cuii.iug iinu ou mursuay utst raiiM ix-gtsivi uig a.

ShoitvUle, Jan. 5. 1S7G. Tbe State Line Railroad. To the editor of the Democrat anil Chronic'e.

Sir: It seems to lie a fixed fact that th present management of the Rochester and JState Line railroad company are unable to build the road, and that the road a-failure, and bankrupt. The question now before the common council is, how to secure the city's interest in this road. The city and other municipal corporations, along the line of the road, have furnished l.H0,X0 of the money i used in its construction, and hold first niort-! gage bonds a par, therefor. The interest on these bonds is past due and unpaid. This constitutes a majority of all the bond of this company.

The road is about 100 miles long and twenty-five miles of it are completed. It is understood that the grading and bridging I for the whole rcad are well advanced toward completion. Now, what ought to be done? rihould the common-council permit a fore- closure of the mortgage by some outside creditor and allow the sum to be sold for a nominal sum and the interest of the city and of this town be wiped out, without any aleut? It seems to the writer that this is a 'more excellent way:" The city and the towns should unite and foreclose the niort- pape. A new company should be organised with common and preferred stock, to purchase the road at the sale. All bond-holders who will come in 1 and consent to this arrangement should have preferred slock to the amount of their i bonds.

Thus th? city would exchange 0J0 of bonds in the present road to of preferred stock in the new company. And the towns coulil do likewise. A first mort-; gage could then be placed on the road and a sum sufficient to complete the rad realised, Any bond-holder who refused to enter iuto this plan (and it would seem none would do sot would be entitled to his proportion of the sum for which the road should 1 sold. A plan, of which this is a bare outline, is i practicable and feasible. An act of the legislature, passed May 11th, 174, (being chapter 4X), laws of provides for this Ions.

On Friday last Senator Sherman S. Rogers introduced in the senate a bill amen 1 in the law of May 11th, 174. so as to make it applicable to all the railroads of the state, and providing for the particijHition of bondholders in the government of railroads and for issuing common and preferred stock. It seems apparent that ther need foe no difficulty in foreclosing the mortgage bonds of this road, organising a new company to purchase the road, every bondholder, who chooses, to have an interest in the new company to the extent of the amount of the bom is which be holds, and thus the road will find itself under the control aud munagemeut of its real owners. To accomplish this result the city and the towns should take tbe initiative and foreclose this mortgage, thus giving them, in a measure, the control of the foreclosure and opportunity to obtain a projMsr decree and to make suitable arrangements for the sale.

It was on a plan similar to this that the Northern Pacific railroad was sold on foreclo- of its mortgage bonds, and bid in for the benefit of ail its bondholders, who choe to come in and assent to this arrangement. Our city fathers seem determined that the city's interest in this road shall not I cleaned out. By prom pt attention there will be no difficulty in securing the interest of this city not only, but ki completing the road the most desirable consul miiat ion of alL There are undoubtedly speculators who wool like to buy this road for a song, and get control of it, aud all that has been done upon it. There if a suspicion that the York Central and Kudon river railroad company would like to get it, and that it figuring to do so. This city has enough of under bill for the preent.

Let the aldermen ee to it that nobody is allowed to steal the city's interest til this railroad. Oeaktox. Jan. 1870. Dloeee ol Central New Yrk.
