For a translation of the Baptismal and Marriage records of one of the earliest divines of the Lutheran church in Pennsylvania, we are indebted to the Rev. F. J. F. Schantz, D D., of Myerstown, Pa., who in forwarding it writes: "The original Records of Baptisms and Marriages of Rev. Johann Casper Stoever, containing also a sketch of his life, is in the possession of W. C. Stoever, Esq., Mt. Airy, Philadelphia, Pa., a son of the late Prof. M. L. Stoever, LL.D., of Pennsylvania College, Gettysburg, Pa.,
