s,itutlon Of this character, composed OF
Germans, hos been ia operation in Nc.
Kesn county, in Pennsylvapia, for near
a year past. A letter in the Ledger gIves
this account Of the seltl ment:
THE Society OF Industry, located in
Mexican county, Pennsylvania, founded
by the Rev. Henry Ginai, German min
lister Of this city, IS in possession Of Al, 900
acres Of laud, considerable part Of which
they have already cleared, aDd they keep
from forty TO fifty hands chopping, all
OF them members OF the Society. Since
las, spring seventy houses have been
erected, besides a steam saw mill, a large
tsEnery,a convenient school house, IN
which the various branches of education
are taught, and store furnished with ev-
cry article necessary for food and cloth.
ing.
The Society is founded upon commu.
lily of property, money and furniture, ex-
eepted, and sustained by the cooperation
of its members, an equal distribution OF
the half yearly profits resulting from
their labor. In IT'S fundamental prlnci.
Plies it differs fiom Mr.. Fourier's system.
Mr.. Ginal has become acquainted with
the socialism Of this French philanthro-
pist, and having compared ], with that Of
his own, found II less congenlal to the
principles and habits OF his friends.
"The tract OF land belonging to this
Society is divided into several districts ;
IN the centre Of each one is TO be u town,
having every house built alike, for the
accommodation Of farmers as well ns me-
chanics, ana stables and barns located be.
yond the precincts of the village.
"Although agriculture and tho raising
ofcattle is the prominent object OF the So
ciety. yet having many skliiai mechanics
from the principal cIits Of the UoIted
States, they intend to establish some man
lufacturies. The members OF each trade
choose their own Inspector, ana deter

shall be done.
"The Society numbefs al presen, near
