the Moravian cemetery, in Salem, they
separate and classify their dead--male
infant from female; the old from tho
young the married frsm the unmarried.
They won't bury the husband by his wife.
The dead arc all placed on an equality.
The tombstoues are all alike, being small
blocks Of marble foot square, that they
place at the head Of the grave. No diff
ieren. tombstones is allowed. Neither
can you find single epitaph. Some Of
the graves are over one hundred years
old. One, ncgro's, reads: "Abraham
Niger, Guinea, died April IL, ITO. " On
Easter mornings. soon after midnight,
soon after midnight, the Meravians get
up and march to the cemetery with
bard Of music in front, and the process.

oldest person, who brings up the rear.
They remain in the cemetery playing
music and conducting services until
morning. 1t is said they go there to see
the dead rise. When Moravian dies In
Salem, instead of tolling the bells, s,.thcy

THE BufFALoEs 1T will afford every
well balanced mind some satisfaction TO
learn that the men who have been do ng
their best to extcrminate the buffalo from
our western plains have had their snthu-
siasm dashed by a decided fall In the
price OF hides II Is estimated that ct
least 200, 900 buaaloes were slaughtered
last year, principally for their skins alone.
The herds have been driven by the sx-
tension OF railroads into a comparative
restricted district, where gangs Of border
marksmen can get them into corner
and butcher them without mercy. Enor-
nous drovcs Of these animals, SO useful
to our frontier population and to Indian
tribes as means Of sustenancc, have
thus been penned and shot down. While
the United States government has been
paying enormous prices for beef to bo To-
sued to our Indian pensioners, tens Of
thousands Of buffalo carcassss have been
rottiag on the plains, slaughtered in or
der that these irregular butchers might
make profit BY taking their skins
A year ago the price of buffalo hides
in the west ranged from four to Ave dol
lars for COW skin. Now skin that
would have brought five dollars year
and half age will scarcely sell for a dol
lar and half The glut Of buffalo skins
has become so great that they have been
exported in large quantities 10 Europe.
Almost every day in New York We see
strings Of drays loaded down with the
hides OF these animals. In France and
Belgium army contractors are buying
them up at the present low rates in large
quantities, for the purpose Of making
them up into all manner Of military equip
ments, such as straps, cords, harness and
tho like
At the present time the average price
in Chicago for buffalo hides ranges from
one dollar and a half to two dollars and
a half Dcducting commissions and ex-
pcnscs, a buffalo hunter realizes about
one dollar on every skin that hc sells. II

Rcv. Charles Wilmer, of Wilton, on
last Tuesday evening, in the Grace
Reformed Church OF that place, by
the Rev. J. b. Shontz.
The announcement Of a public we'd
ding on the Sabbath previous in the
Church, hiled it to its utmost capac.-
ty, the audience commencing TO arrive
several hours before the ceremony
took place.
at about 5 o'clock the parties ar
rived In close carriage at the
church, the announcement Of which
caused the busy hum Of voices with
IN to Cease, and turned attention as
well as the organs Of sight to the
place of entrance. As the door swung
open the organ pealed forth its wei
come tones, and the choir joined in
singing an appropriate verse Ms the
bridal party passed up the aisle TO
the altar. Following preliminaries by
the clergyman, ''the ring, the ring.
was whispered, and the groom CON-
menced with this ring ETC., and il
few minutes they were pronounced
man and wife. The minister imme
diately announced that the bride ane
groom would receive the congratula
tions of their friends publicly there
when the happy pair exhibited smil
ing faces brim full Of joy, while thei
friends thronged around them. A
the close Of the congratulations tn
minister, followed by the bridal party
left the church, and were greeted wit
applause as they passed down tn
aisle, and thus ended another pleasan
affair to all participating therein.
