A PIRATES DISCIPLINE.
The Rules of Conduct Observed on Board . Buccanoer.

The Rules of Conduct Observed on Board . Buccanoer.
 The customs and regulations most oom- monly observed on board buccaneer arc worth noting. Every pirate captain doubt less had his own set of rules, but there are certain traditional articles that seem to have been generally adopted. The cap tain had a state cabin, double vote in elections, double share of booty. On some vessels 1t was the captain who decid- ed in what direction to sail, but this and other matters of moment were often settled by vote of the company, the captain 6 vote counting for two.
 The officers had a share and half or a share and a quarter of the plunder and the sailors one share each. Booty was d. vided with scrupulous care, and naroon- ing was the penalty of attempting to de- fraud the general company, if only to the amount of a single goldpiece. Every man had full vote in every affair of tmpor- tance.
 Arms were always to be clean and fit for service, and desertion of the ship or quarters in battle was punished with death. On one famous pirates ship a man who was crippled in battle received $80U out of the common stock. and a propor- donate sum was awarded for lesser hurts. Another allowed $725 for the loss of a limb, and other captains instituted a sort of tariff of wounds which extended to ears, fingers and toes
 In chase or battle the captains power was absolute. He who first spied a sail, if she proved to be prize, was entitled te the best pair of pistols on board her over and above his dividend. These pistol. were greatly coveted, and pair would sell for as much as $15o from one pirate to an other.
 In their own commonwealth the pirates were reported to have been severe upoT the point of honor, and among one crew il was the practice to slit the ears or nose o any sailor found guilty of robbing his fel low.--New York Dispatch

THE JULIAN COMEDY co.

Just word about the Julian Comedy Go. This company is undoubtedly the best dramatic organization that have been coming into Canaan in late years, and the dramatic talent that they have presented to us We think has not been appreciated. This is not company of barn stormers and while the company was the genuine cast of the "Whit, Squadron" let us enumerate some of tho people the Julians have introduced to us that we may be sure we have seen some first class actors: Frederick and Edith Julian, for the past three seasons of A. Y. Pearson's "White Squadron;' Otis Julian, lately of the Turner Dramatic Co., touring the western states; W. W. Bittner. who as JASON in A. ' Pesrson's ..Land of the Midnight Sun made great hit in all the large cities; Miss Anna Bruce. Christine McLain and J. J Morris of A. '. Pearson's con- panies; MT John T. Burke. of Froham's "Foundling" O.; George F. Hall oi the '.Coon Hollow" Go; J. H. Smiley and J.Edwin Leonard for thres season s with the metropolitan productions oi the "White Squadron"
 The Julisns gave 8 fine presentation of "Fanchon" at the hall Saturday night and merited O much larger audience Edith Julian was charming as the Crick- ct. Otis Julian as Didier made the big hit, and tho work of George Hall as Ann Fadet the Witch was first class. Some changes had been made in the cast. Frederick Julian playing Landry. Bittner playing Father Barbesud and Anna Bruce as Madelon and Christine McLain as Mother Barbeaud.
 Frederick Julian of A. Y. Pearson's company and the Julian Comedy Co was on May 16. 1895 elected a member of the Players Club. New York city.
 It is not probable that the Julians will visit Canaan with their tour of the "Black Flag" in which they will intro duce all the old favorites and a new dancing comedian. Will F. Gardiner lately of Ferguson & Fagin.

PINE GROVE CAMP MEETING.

Every preparation is being made to make the meeting this year a success and real spiritual benefit to the Pough- keepsie district. Rev w. H. Mlckle, D. D the presiding elder of the district, will have full charge and will spare no pains to make the camp meeting good one. Speakers from distance will be invited, but Dr Mickle's plan is to use largely the preachers of the district and their people.
 Let there be grand rally and let the pastors and people make camp meeting week a revival week. week of intense ly earnest work for the Master. If this is tbe spirit with which we come to the camp ground. instead of it's beir 6 a grand picnic, it will be place for kind ling altar fires for the different charges that shall not go out all the year through, and great revivals all over the Pough- keepsie district and especially through the Housatopic Valley will be the fruit of the meeting in this beautiful grove this year.
 The camp meeting will open Monday. Aug. 10th and continue until Tuesday, Ang. 27th.
 The anniversary of the State Sunday School Association will be held at Pine Grove. Monday, Aug 26th. It is too early yet to announce other anniversar- ies.
 Some are already occupying cottages on the grounds. There seems a greater demand than ever for cottages at this delightful summer home and the proe- poets are that in few days many of the cottages will be open and Pine Grove become lively village.

A Correction.


 A subscriber writes to inform us that aR item which we stole from one of our contemporaries last week is inaccurate. The item in question was that . cotton mill. 425 feet long and 116 feet wide and five stories high, to be built at Adams, Mass. would be the largest in America. He says that the Harmony cotton mills, Nos l, and 3, at Cohoes, N. r., are all larger than the proposed mill, No being 1900 feet long and no feet wide and six stories high with an L 125 feet long TO feet wide and seven stories high. Possibly the esteemed contemporary aforesaid meant to say that the Adams mill would be 1425 feet long
