Love-Peast:
"The love feast Of the Dunkards was held at
Ephrata last week, the ceremonies attracting .
large number Of people. AZ the hour Of candle
lightning the most interesting services began.
Foot washing was the opening part. Rows Of
men and women sat on benches waiting for this
important and distinctive part Of the love feast
Presently men and women appeared with stands
Of luke-warm water, and pulling OF the shoes and
stockings was In order. Passing from one 10 the
other they washed the brethren's feet the men be-
ing attended by their own sex, tho women like
wise. As they passed along the officiating person
gave his hand TO the brother whose feet he had
just washed, and at the same time kissed him.
Following this person came man with towel.
wearing q long white apron, who. AFTER drying Oh
the brother's feet, also extended his hand and
gave the kiss Of love. The supper that followed
consisted Of soup. placed In tin vessels, Of which
three and four psrsons helped themselves with
spoons from the same dish. They also had meat,
bread and water. Upwards Of three hundred psr.
sonswere seated around tables each sex separately

coniSG CHANGES IN THE USirgD STATES ST.
rHEHE corRr.-one Of the most important duties
the new President will have to perform will be the
appointment Of four Associate Justices Of the su.
Prcinc Court Of the United States. Justice elf.
ford, notwithstanding the natural scnsitiyencss Of
his friends on the subject. Is mentally and physi-
eally incapable Of ever taking his seut upon the
~oolsack again. lie is seventy seven years old,
and bis health Is so precarous that he can hardly
be expected 10 long survive. Justice Hunt .
health Is also threatening. lie has not been on
the bench for two years and will probably never
be able &c resume his duties. lie Is seventy years
old. Justice Swayne. although In good health, 4.
seventy-six years old. aud Il Is understood that
he will retire within n year. Justice Strong Is
also In good health, but he Is seyenty-two years
old aud IL is understood that he too. will retire
AFTER the 9Th Of March and take the advantage Of
the full pension allowed by law. Thu. Mr.. tar
held will have the appointment Of four new Judges.
a responsibility he ought not to regard lightly
or course only Republicans win be selected and
the court will then stand eight Republicans to one
Democrat Justice Field who was appointed rs
Republican. One Of these Judges should come
from New England. one from New York. one from
Pennsylvania and one from the South. Justice
Swayne Is from Ohio but that State has tho Chief
Justice and the South has hardly her quota.-Er-

in the country this year. but Il Is now In possess
sion Of data which enables /, to approximate very
closely to the actual result. These show that the
corn and oats crops will vary very li,ilci in amount
from those Of las, year. but that this variation
will be decrease. The wheat yield, however,
will show On increase Of about thirty millions Of
