A record book of monthly meetings held

money for putting up house to worship
IN, and at which IL was ordered that of the
tobacco crop raised that year, $3.50 pounds
should be assessed ON the members ant
paid over TO the builders. The structure
was TO be 80 foot 6 long and 20 foot wide y
and at another meeting an assessment of
100 pounds Of tobacco was made 10 pay
the expenses of ceiling this meeting house
with river boards and making and hanging
the doors. No record is made Of the spot
where the house stood, and every trace of
IL has disappeared. The clerk in whose hand
the first records are written was Joseph
Peasants, believed TO be a son Of John
Peasants, who came from England and
settled under grant from the King in 1866.
A portion of the grant is still in the possess
sion Of a member Of the family, who new
lives on il, and IL has been owned by the
Peasants continuously for pa years. The
record book contains no instances Of litiga-
ton, all disputes have been decided by
arbitration. When the differences arose
they were laid before the monthly meeting,

ion. In no case mentioned in the book did

Accuracy.

Never make an assertion unless You aki
positively certain that you are exactly right.
Let your reputation be such among your
neighbors that they can depend on any
thing you say as just precisely syou state
it. Ifyou sell pound of sugar, don't give
your customer fifteen ounces or seventeen,
but Just exactly sixteen. 4
We remember in our own experience q
man who was not prepossessing either
in appearance or manners, who had built
up trade which was excelled by none in
the town in which lie was situated. We
wondered at it, and finally asked friend
who traded with the man referred to if he
could tell us the secret. "The whole thing"
says he, sis that when you huy pound of
meat or a pound Of coffee of B you
are certain of getting just exactly what you
pay for" and that was the whole secret Of
his success.
Make it habit of being accurate in
everything you do. Never make a single
step until you are sure that is just what
you want. Be accurate in your writing.
Dot your is and cross your It's, is what our
school teacher used TO ding in our ears in
our boyhood days, and it taught us habits
of accuracy which we have never had cause
toregret In sending orders to your jobbers
beaccufate in them; put down just what
you want and how you want it, in such
plain language that you can't be misunder-
stood. BE very careful to have your address
right, street, number, town, county and
State, and you will save great deal Of
profanity at the Office where your order is
received. A greater part of the misery in
this world is caused by inaccuracy Of word
or deed,

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.
Roasted Italians.

Thirty Italian laborers, In the employ OF the
Erie railroad, have been occupying one OF the
company's construction shanties at Mt. Alton,
fifteen miles south Of Bradford, Pa. The
building has been In disuse for some time and
the underpinlng was weak. Twenty men
slept In little loft and the remaindr on the
first floor, which was elevated above the
ground four feet. One Of the posts on which
the structure rested gave way the other, and
at / O'Clock the next morning the shanty
slipped off and collapsed. The men were
thrown In a heap, and those who escaped
made their way out with great difficulty. In
few minutes the wreck took fire from a lantern,
and the walls being largely composed of tarred
paper blaZcd fiercely. The shouts OF those who
had escaped and the screams OF Others who
were penned in the blazing pile aroused the
village. There being no fire department,
nothing could be done except to form bucket
brigade, which was not OF the slightest use.
The cries of agony OF the roasting unfor-
Inmates grew fainter and fainter, and in a
short the fire had spent itself. Six charred
corpse, which could be identified only by bits
of clothing were taken out. The names OF the
dead are Andrew Petrela, Felclew Eatta, Do
mimic Coerco, Sappota Guirrera, Frank Grace
and Charles Grace.
Two men suffered serious injury from being
struck by falling timbers, but 1t is believe .
they will recover. The dead men had sums
ranging from 500 TO $500 about their persons,
which they were about to send To their families
in Italy. The Italians had been living in box
cars, but choose the building against the adj
vice Of those who had pronounced II unsafe.
