In those days the ricn and the poor
met together; the fashions were i'll,
alike, and it was said that Lancaster
was paradise for the poor. Children
were left a good deal to tie black
mammies and other slaves, who were
not slow to in feet them with their own

Signs and omens were informing eli

benighted creatures, and many a sur
vivor recalls their uncanny spells.
Schools were in keeping with the
primitive spirit of the age, albeit the
instruction was sometimes good. Cor.
poral punishment was rife for the
smallest offense. One of the cruel,
though common penalties for trivial
misdemeanors, was to make an lnverr-
ed of the boy by bending him over
with his fingers touching the floor.
Cerebral congestion was soon the re-

of inst fife able inconvenience. The
bad quality of the water was the
