Religious Ceremony Disturbed.

A religious ceremony in our midst last
Sunday afternoon was characterized by
very shameful proceedings and for the
good name of our city we hope such dis
graceful conduct will never occur here
again. A baptism by immersion was
appointed by Rev. VIM. Paul, Of the
Baptist church, to be held at the close Of
the services in the church which took
place at O'Clock. At the proper time
the class for baptism, consisting of four
teen persons, about half the number
being men and women aud the balance
being boys and girls, repaired to the bank
of the river near Csch's tannery where
due preparations had been made for the
ceremony. There was a very large
crowd assembled most of whom it was
apparent had been drawn to the place out
of mere curiosity. When the ceremony
was about to commence the crowd iostied
to and fro, snowballs and chuncks of ice
were thrown and several persons hit, hats
were knocked of, the air resounded with
boots and yells, and so great was the dis.
turbance and confusion that Rev. Mr..
Paul found it impossible to proceed with
the ceremony of baptism, and tire class
with their minister returned to the church
to consult together as to whether they
should quietly submit to this attempt that
they regarded az an infringement of their
religious liberty. Meanwhile the city
marshal and his deputy were
procured and with these officials to
maintain order and preserve the peace
the persons were baptized without any
further trouble. 1t must be said by way
of extenuation that a great deal of the
tumult came from boys, although some
assisted in the offensive demonstrations
who were old enough TO know better and
should have set better example to the
rising generation. These persons should
understand that when religions cere-
mony is interfered with, dangerous
ground 10 tread upon. The principles of
our government are founded on civil and
religious liberty and any attempt to
abridge these rights should be sternly
rebuked by every citizen.

A Farm For Breeding Geese.

The only goose ranch-that il farm
devoted to the breeding and care of geese,
In this country is owned and operated by
Philadelphians. The farm Ia located on
the Eastern shore Of Virginia. and cover.
nearly 5000 acres. over which the feath
cred occupants are free to roam. In
England there are number of such
farms, some Of them having as high a..
1000 geese. The American one is of
much larger proper ions as il aocks mum
bcr in the neighborhoud Of 5000 birds
In certain textile branches Of trade tn.
down and feathers of geese are the main
raw materials. The manufacture of fine
quilts and the preparation of certain
articles of dress utilize the down, and in
cheaper grades of goods the younger and
softer feathers are used in the way OF
adulteration. The large and strong
feathers of the tails and wings go mainly
into the quill pens used by protrssiona
engrossers. lawyers, clergymen, author,
and others. These are too tough for
much use In the textile productions noteu
above.
The American farm is devoted excIu.
sively to producing the raw materials
needed for the fine down quilts. Several
species Of geese are bred, all of them
being, however, of American lineage.
Tie largest specimens are the swan geese,
and the plumago of all is of snowy
whiteneas. The birds are regularly feu
with corn and other grains, and are given
the utmost freedom consistent with the
prevention of straying and loss. Ia con.
sequence, men are employed as hcrdrrs
To keep wa,chfl eye on their charges
Sheds for shelter are provided IN case of
inclement or especially severe weather.
but the birds rarely use them.
About every six weeks the pluckinr
takes place. Only the breast and por
tious of the side are touched, the fcath
era of the back, the wings and the tuil
being left intact. 1t requires nearly one
hundred average geese to furnish a pound
OF down, though the smaller feathers.
which are also taken, weigh much heavi
or. These feathers, however, torn an
entirely separate grade of product from
the valuable down.
The average life of goose is said to
6e about forty years. aud they produce
from six to ten eggs per annuin, o large
proportion of which are hatched. A
bird hstched 10 February is in condition
tor plucking the following August, and
90 Oh thereafter ever rix or eight weeks.
The feathers are packed In sacks and sent
to the Philadelphia factory, where they
are trimmed, washed, steamed, and
otherwise prepared ssfor their ultimate
uses. In adulteraling the fluffy down for
the cheaper grades of goods the feathers
are chopped up fine and then mingled
with the more valuable material. Sn
practiced are some manufacturers that II
requires an expert to distinguish between
the grades. The local factory, which In
the only one Of prominence in the coun
try, makes nothing but the finer goods
Heretofore the down and feathers used
In American markets have been impurteti.

Does Farming Pays

This question IL often foolishly asked

who make nothing pay. The man who

Public Roads Again.

The people in many parts Of the coun.
try are again almost cut off from their
local markets and isolated from society
by the miserable quagmires, yclept pub
lie roads. Thousands, no doubt, are
abusing the road laws, while profane
thoughts are in their hearts, if wicked
words do not fnd vent by way of their
lips. This seems to be the proper season
of the year for such tbingp, but the
Spring will soon DO at hand, and tho tins
for putting the roads in opassabie condi
ton 80 that they may pass the inspection
of lenient grand juries will como with
il.
It may not be amiss to again call the
attention Of road commissioners, over
seers and citizens generally throughout
the country TO the fact that merely tenn.
porary wo{k on the public roads does not
pay. A few days extra work done ON o
bad piece of road in an intelligent men
ner will cave a vast deal of labor aud an
noyance in the future, It is almost use.
less TO throw d few pine tops and o little
dirt in gully and leave 1t 80 that it will
wash out and be worse than ever the
next heavy rain that comes. Road off,
cials ought to study road building, aud
learn bow work done on the roads mey
be made permanent The great point ia
securing good roads is drainage. Water
should not be allowed to collect at any
poiut on road to do damage even du-
ring tho heaviest rains. A little work
done on properly drained roads every
year will keep them in much better con
ditiou than a great deal of work on roads
that are not properly drained or not
drained at oil:
It fs tho custom to abuse the road lawe.
No doubt they are defective, but IL the
road laws were enforced with intelligence
there would be very little cause to COM
plain of them. If commissioners and
overseers would only learn their duties.
and perform them according TO the letter
and spirit of the laws, and require road
receiving wages In cash, The roads 10
nearly all paris of the country would be
in pretty good condition at all seasons
Of the year.
