tome OF tbe Peculiar Enactments That
oBtasaed In Old Virginia.
Those who fancy that strict laws
were peculiar to New England in colo
NAL days should read some of the enact
ments of the Virginia assembly.
cit was enacted, . writes Professor
2 John Fiske in "Old Virginia and Her
Neighbors,' that any person found
drunk was for the first offense to be pri-
vately reproved by the minister; the
second time this reproof was to be pub
licly administered; the third time the
offender must be put in irons for 10
hours and pay fine; for any subsequent
offenses he must be severely punished at
the discretion of the governor and coun-
Gil
'To guard the community against ex-
cessive vanity in dress it was enacted
that for all public contributions every
unmarried man must be assessed in
church according to his own apparel
and every married man must be assess
ed according to his own and his wife's
apparel.
"Not merely extravaganza in dress,
but such social misdemeanors as flirting,
received due legislative condemnation.
Pretty maids were known to encourage
hopes in more than one sutton, and gay
deceivers of the sternerl sex would some
times seek to win the affections of two
or more women at the same time.
Wherefore it was enacted that every
minister should give notice in his
church that what man or woman sOaver
should use any word or speech tending
to contract Of marriage to two several
persons at one time as might entangle or
breed scruples in their consciences,
should for such their offense, either IN
dergo corporal correction (by whipping)
CT be punished by fine Or otherwise, &C.
cording to the quality of the person SO
ofending.'
Men were held to more strict account

than in these shameless modern days.

ing against the governor or any member
Of the council was liable to be punished
with the pillory. 1t was also imprudent
to speak too freely about clergymen,
who were held in great reverence. No
planter could dispose of so much as a
pound of tobacco until he had laid aside
certain specified quantity as his assess
ment toward the minister's salary.

Mr.. VALENTINE BATE, the we'll
known business man OF HOldingford,
is in the city today on his way home
from Milwaukee, and other points in
the southern part Of Wisconsin where
he visited relatives and old friends.
Mr.. BatZ WAS greatly impressed with
the complete change he found in the
method Of farming pursued by the
people there now from that followed
fifteen or eighteen years ago. Then
wheat was the chief and often only
crop. Now many of the farmers even
buy their flour, having gone into stock
raising and dairying. He says that
there is Il creamery every three or four
miles, farm houses that cost SO, 200,
heated by hot water and we'll furnished
and that even in these days of general
depression the farmers there do not
know of such a thing as ''hard times"

follow the example of those of south
ern Wisconsin and become rich.-St.
