The members of these societies live to
gether generally in great harssmony. They
have each a neat and handsome house of
worship. Own their sarms and buildings
joinzly. Are governed by a certain number
of Elders. To gardening they pay the ut
_most attention, having extensive gardens
: of great beauty and profit. They have va
Lrious mechanic shops, and their work is
sicver remarkable for nc_atness and strength.
They seldom give any cause to disbelieve
;their asscrtions of chascity; a man and his
;wise ever behaving like brother and sister.
