Tue DUNKER's LOVE FEAsT.-The Reading
(Pennsylvania) Times says that the annual
love feast of the Dunkers is in progress on the
farm of Mr.. johnson Miller, near Litiz, on the
line of the Reading and Columbia Railroad.
The exercises are held in barn, the northern
side of which is occupied by the women and
children, and on the south side the men sit,
entirely separated from their wives, sisters
and sweethearts by stout plank platform five
feet high, their hats laid on an extension CT
boards, which serve as a very convenient hat
rack. Bishop David Garlic, of Mount Joy, di-
reefs the religious services, assisted by three
or four preachers from other counties. The
services are conducted in the English and Ger
man language, sermons, singing and prayers
alternating in the two languages. No hymn
books are used, the words being lined out by
the preacher in the singing tone of the olden
time, and the congregation heartily respond.
ing. There are five meeting houses in the dis
trict, one near LitiZ, one near Mannheim, one
at Petersburg, one at Mount Hope, aud the 9TH
er at Graybills, near PenAville. A large con-
course of people are in attendance. The gen.
eral expenses are paid by voluntary contribu-
ton, and the provisions are furnished by the
members according to their means. None Of
the clerical order receive any salary. The
place of worship is delightfully."- cool, and its
rude and novel appearance in no wise detracts
from the fervor or effectiveness of the services
The practice of the men kissing each other is
one of the striking features of their salutations

BRIDGE WASHED AwAY-NARRow ESCAPE
As the late train on the Western Maryland R.
R., bound west, on last Saturday, was approach
ing the bridge at Finksburg station, it was sig
nailed to stop, which was responded to prompt
ly. On inspection Of the bridge it was found
that the freshet which had prevailed thatday
had swept away all the trestle work and sup
ports of the bridge, and had borne them down
the stream for at least one hundred yards,
where they had lodged, and that the bridge
was in a condition of weakness certain to in
sure an instant and terrible wreck. Fortu-
nately for the lives Of those on the train Mr..
Fitch, a resident near the place, discovered the
debris floating down the stream from the bridge,
and gave timely warning to stop. Mr. Peter
Quinn and his corps of railroad hands, fortu-
nately, happened to be on the train, and no
sooner was the trouble discovered than he went
to work to repair. He instantly detailed his
whole force to the place where the trestles had
lodged, secured them and removed them to the
bridge, and in forty nine minutes had the
bridge securely braced, and the train passed
over it. Mr.. @. deserves great credit for the de-
spatch and intelligence he displayed on the
occasion, and the same may be said of his en-
tire force, as each of them obeyed orders with
great alacrity.- Westminster Advocate, 18th IN

INSTINCT OF RACE HeRsE-A REMARKABLE
| CAsE.-The following is one of the most re-
markabe instances on record of the instinct
| of a horse. Immediately after the last day
| meeting of the Nd. Jockey Club at Pimlico this
spring, Business, Artist, George West and two
or three other broken-down racers were put up
at auction by their owner, Mr.. Joseph Dsnahue.
AS is generally the case, however, no one want
ed to purchase them, and with the exception Of
Jim Grow, none were sold. They were taken
back to the stables, and on the following day
George West, the renowned steeple chaser, was
sent to the farm of Captain Powers in Balti-
more county, and turned out on pasture with a
number of common work horses. Strange to
say, however, the old racer refuses to associate
with the common horses, and will not even re-
main in the same part of the field with them
except at certain hours. Every morning and
evening during racers training he is walked
slowly around in small circle for an hour or
so. These walking circles can be found near
the stables at every race track, and they are
usually about one hundred feet in diameter.
On the first morning after old George West was
turned out Of the stable at Captain Powers
farm, he waited around the stable doors for
some time, and Weighed as if impatient. The
old horse spent the entire first day walking up
and down in front of the stables. On the fol-
lowing morning he was turned out again, and
after standing around the stable some time
he walked off to distant corner of the field,
where he proceeded to walk around in a circle
of about fifty or sixty yards. The walk was
kept up for an hour steadily as he had ever
done it in his palmiest training days. After
exercising about an hour the old horse left his
walking ground and capered around the field
as if delighted. In the evening it was noticed
that shortly before shutdown he threw up his
head and, after neighng once or twice, gal
Hoped around the entire field seven or eight
times. He then stopped and went to the
small circle used by him in the morning and
walked around it regularly for about an hour.
At the expiration of that time he went to the
stable. These exercises of walking and gallop-
ing have been repeated regularly ever since,
and Captain Powers states that the time George
West begins exercising each day does not vary
over a-half hour. He was kept in the stable
two days without getting out, but when turned
out on the third he at once began his walk and
kept it up as usual. The other horses in the
field have followed his example, and now every
morning and evening seven common horses
may be seen moving regularly around the
small circle like q string of racers, headed by
George West. The sight is novel one, and
hundreds Of persons have visited the farm dur
ing the past week to witness it. Beyond the
walking, George West does not mix with the
common herd at all, and takes his gallops en-
entirely alone. George West is now over six
years old, but there is probably no steeple-
chaser now living in this country that in his
fourth and fifth years many gallant
races as he has done.-American.

How TO CLEAN KID GLovEs.-During the
warm weather kid gloves are easily soiled, par
ticularly as the prevailing colors are quite
light, and as it costs some time and money to
have them cleaned at the dyer's, we let our
readers into the secret of cleaning them at
home, which can be done just as we'll as if
paid for outside. Take little sweet milk and
piece of white or brown soap. Fold clean
towel three or four times, spread it over your
dress, and spread out the glove smoothly upon
it. Take large piece of white flannel, dip it
into the milk, then rub it upon the soap, and
rub the glove downwards towards the fingers,
holding the wrist of it by the left hand. Con
tinue this process until the glove, if white
looks dark and entirely spoiled. Now let it
dry, and then put it on your hand, and it will
be SOFT smooth, glossy and clean. Take care
however, to omit no part of the glove in rub
bling it, and see that all the soiled parts are
thoroughly cleaned. This process applies only
to white and colored kid gloves. For black
gloves that are soiled, turned white and other
wise injured, take teaspoonful of salad oil
drop few drops of ink into it, and rub it al
over the gloves with the tip of feather ther
let them dry in the sun. White kid boots and
slippers can also be cleaned by the first pro
cess to look Gas good as new" and black kiG
boots and slippers can be restored to their pris
tine gloss by the latter method.
