years ago.
During the year 1857 a momentary
peace was granted to the Quakers by
the declaration of Indulgence. 1t was
then that Jordans was built. They do
not seem to have been long left undis-
turbed, as one frequently reads of sol
diers rushing in at their meetings, and
the Friends themselves being made to
pay heavy fines, or even being thrown
into prison. To protect their women
from persecution, the gallery in which
they sat, was provided with sliding
shutters, which were hastily closed in
the event of an intrusion. Thus were
dame and damsel safely concealed till
all danger was past.
Before the present Jordans was built,
meetings were held in a farmhouse on
the top of the hill close by. The build
ing is still standing, known as Jordan's
farm. 1t probably took it's name from

and shake red rags at them, and after
a bull has ripped mess of bowels out
of a few horses, then man with sabre
stabs the bull between the shoulders,
and he drops dead, and the crowd cheers
the assassin of the bull, and they bring
in another bull.
Well, sir, dad came mighty near his
finish at the bull-fight. When the
second bull came in, and ripped the
stomach out of blind horse and the
bull was just charging man who was
to stab it, dad couldn't stand it any
longer, and he climbed right over into
the ring, and he said: Look ahere, you
heather, / protest, in the name of the
american Humane Society, against this
cruelty to animals, and unless this bust
ness stops right here, will have this
place pulled, and"
Well, sir, you would of thought that
bull would have had sense enough to
see that dad was his friend, but he
probably couldn't understand what dad
was driving at, for he made rush for
dad, and dad started to run for the
fence, and the bull caught dad just like
dad was sitting in rocking chair, and
tossed him over the fence, and dad's
pants stayed on the bulls horns, and
dad landed in amongst lot of male
