handsome. The design OF the border

and strength are its only ornament.

the British forces In 1877 II was gen.

and transmitted into artillery. Accord.

that the bells were missing. and. for a
while. 1t was supposed that they had
been buried or sunk in the Delaware.
but they were safe under the floor OF
the Zion church in Allentown. In the

OF the bells at bethlehem.

HAD THEIR "ROASTING EARS"
Good Proof That Aborieines Were
Eating Them When Capt. John
Smith Arrived.

We do not know what the Indians
called roasting ears. but there Is no
question that this was one OF tho
principal articles OF diet OF the abor-
igines when Capt. John Smith and his
fellow colonists established themselves
in this virgin country. A man who
was born in Maine and has lived all
about said that the term was first
used in New England. but We doubt
that. as the records would appear to
show that We were making laws in
Virginia before the Pilgrims landed
at Plymouth Rock or thereabout. one
writer saying that the frst 1egisla-
tive assembly that ever convened in
the country was held in Virginia "sev-
enteen months before the eternally
lauded Pilgrims ever landed upon
Plymouth Rock and ten years before
the colony OF Salem and Boston in
creased their meager numbers be-
yon: the hundred"
In Bruce's Economic History OF
Virginia in the Seventeenth Century"
page 173. volume /. we are told: The
custom which the Indians followed in
eating their meals was simple. A
mat was spread on the ground and on
this the dish was placed. the broiled
fish and roasting ears being laid near
at hand Again. in the same book.
page It's. there is this note: ''In June.
July and August they fed on fish. tie
roots of the tuckahoe. berries and
roasting ears"
The chances are therefore that
corn. which was SO important an arti-
Gle of their diet. was called roast
ing ears" or the equivalent in the
Indian tongue. as 1t is reasonable to
assume that they did not eat 1t raw
or uncooked. We are Of the opinion
that roasting ears" is "a good Nir-
ginia expression" inasmuch as in Vir-
gtnia the white man first used corn
on the table or mat after the manner
OF the Indians. and as 1t was roasted
before It was eaten the presumption
is that II was called roasting ears"
The term appears to have been used
in Virginia since the seventeenth GEN.
tury and doubtless before there were
any Dutch in Pennsylvania.

Bronze Tablet to His Memory In Front
Of the Historic Church Where the
Bell Was Hidden During the
Revolution.

Allentown, Pain front of the his
toric lions Reformed church in this
city a large granite boulder with
bronze tablet stands in memory OF
John Jacob Mickey, a patriot of the
American Revolution. In September.
1777. before the British entered the
city of Philadelphia. everything Of
value was sent out of the city. There
was danger of the British using the
bells of the city for cannon, and for
that reason they were considered or
such value that they were taken down
from their towers on September 10,
1777. and by order of the executive
council were ordered. out of the city to
some place of safety. The commission
was given to John Jacob Mickey. a
member Of the general committee OF
Northampton. Pa. appointed in No

Bethlehem. Northampton county,
Pennsylvania. on the 23d Of Septem-
ber, 1877. When they arrived in Beth
lehem the wagon with the statehouse

had to be unloaded. The other bells.
among which were the chimes of St.
Peters and Christ church, Philadel-
phia. were sent on to Allentown.
When another wagon was procured

John Jacob Mickey brought It safely
to Allentown. where II. with the 9TH

year. This old Reformed church was
