AN ANCIENT CHURCH.
A Beverly Cfass.) Structure Nearly Two
Centuries Old.

Beverly Gsass) Structure Nearly Two
Centuries Old.
The remodeled Second church, that of
the Congregational society, at North
Beverly, Mass, is 184 years old and is
the first and only house of worship the
society has ever had. The Second parish
of Beverly is one of the old societies Of
the county. When incorporated by the
general court in 1918, it was as the
"preeinct of Salem and Beverly" OBJ
lection has been made on the part of
certain Beverly people to the separation
of the parish.
The first meeting toward forming the
society was held in November, 1913,
and a committee appointed. At later
meeting the sum of 1850 was raised to-
ward building a meeting house. The
house was built and finished and dedi-
Gated the following year.
Originally it was so feet by 40. II
1771 porch was added to the front end
by Caleb Dodge at his own expense. In
1851 steeple was built and 400
pound bell was purchased. Two years
later Robert Hooper gave bell to the
church. The house was placed on its
present site in 1887, when it was Ell
larged and thoroughly remodeled.
When General Gage was stationed at
Danvers and lived in the Collins house,
at the time he sent his messenger down
to Salem to terminate the sitting of the
assembly because it was about to form a
provincial congress, he attended church
in the North Beverly house of worship.
For many years the ceiling was not
plastered, but later some of the wealthy
members had the spaces over their own
pews plastered at their own expense.
When Robert Hooper gave the church
the bell, he was given a pew in the
church, and the parish voted to have it
plastered overhead at the expense of the
society. Boston Herald

Which is better, to thoroughly
cleanse and purify the blood just
now, or make yourself liable to
the many dangerous aim en- 8
which are so prevalent during
summer? Impurities have been
accommodating in the blood al
winter. and right now is the time
to get rid of them. A thorough
course of Swift's Specific is needed
to cleanse the blood and puri-
fly the system, toning up and
strengthening it all over. Those
who take this precaution now are
comparatively safe all summer;
but to neglect it is to invite some

brigade about the time Lee started
northward to invade Pennsylvania. In
the summer and fall of 1868 the regi-
ment was engaged around Charleston
and fought at Ocean Pond, Fla, in Feb.
ruary, 1864 Then it returned to Vir-
ginia and fought with Lees veterans to
the end of the war. The records Of
losses, compiled while the command
was in the trenches at Petersburg in the
summer Of 1864, show a total Of 1874
killed in battle. The regiment never
numbered more than 1888 men. There
were $50 wounded and 253 deaths from
disease and wounds. The loss by death
was Abr and by death and disability COZ.
This record of battle losses covers but
two years actual fighting, as there were
no battle casualties before June, 1852.
