Richmond, Va.-An association has
recently been organized for the resto-

Richmond county, Virginia, says the
New York Churchman. There are
few Of our colonial churches which
have had as pathetic and varied a
history as this old ruin.
Erected as the mother church of
North Farnham parish before 1898, a
massive cruciform building in the best
style of colonial architecture, it has
undergone time after time the stress
of war and abandonment, the ravages
Of decay and fire.

1876 gave it back to the old parish.

Of the old church went to make door

barn by a neighboring farmer till
1870, was again restored and used for
services till Easter, 1888, when it's last
disaster, a fire, destroyed everything
except it's solid walls.
And so it stands today, with trees

without, with poison ivy half covering
it's bricks. The chance visitor can see
today on the south transept the scars
OF bullets fired in a skirmish between
British and American soldiers in the
war OF 1872. He can see where the
facing of the west door was broken
down in order to permit wagons Of
grain to be driven in for the use of

Old Greenfield Pote Home,

where the road would be laid out, and
when a road was finally built it passed
the back of the house, instead of the
front. This necessitated changing the
Interior of the house sufficiently to
give front door at the back of the
house.
Here on VOLTS Neck Captain Pote
lived until his death, Sept 20, 1897.
On the hill which rises a short dis
lance west of the house he was bur
led. His gravestone shows that he
was born in May, 1876, and that he
married Jane Grant in 1853.
He was the father of several chill
dren, to one Of whom, William Pote,
the property passed upon his death.
Another son went to sea in the priva-
teer Dash, which was built and fitted
out by Freeport people. The priva-
teer left Freeport just before a big
storm and was never heard from aft
erward. AS years went by the num-
Der of graves in the cemetery increas-

of the Pote family.

that he purchased it. The property

cellar, the entrance to which is on
the south side Of the house, just to
one side of the front door.

Syracuse, N. VA warning to the

an address before the members of the

session here.
There are today at least 40 profess
s1ons which require high school edu-
cation by way Of preliminary training"
said DR.. Schaffer, "and the boy who
quits school before finishing the four
years high school course shuts against
himself the door of opportunity and
makes it impossible for himself to en-

ranked with the professions and which
have within their ranks the leader Of
American civilization.

FINED; MOVES HOUSE !!
Captain Pote Hailed to Court for
Sailing on Sunday.
House Built IT'S Years Ago at VOLTS
Neck by Mariner Who Transport
ed Building From Falmouth
Foreside on His Vessel.

- Boston.-Few houses have a more
interesting history than the old
Greenfield Pote house at VOLTS Neck,
now owned and occupied by Evans C.
Banks.
The house was originally built at
Falmouth Foreside by Capt Greenfield
Pote,.a well-to-do mariner. Just when
the house was built nobody knows,
but it must have been fully IT'S years
ago, as in 1852 Captain Pote had been
living at Falmouth Foreside for many
years and was quite prominent in the
town.
In 1852 Captain Pote had brought
the ship to his home port while he
spent a few days with his family.
When the date came for his -depar.
ture there was no wind and his sail
ing was delayed. For "a week the
ship lay becalmed and Captain Pote
began to get uneasy, as every days
delay in starting was costing: him
good money Finally on Sunday
good sailing breeze sprang up and
Captain Pote summoned his crew and
put to sea-
He was gone for many weeks, but
upon his return he was arrested by
a constable and brought into court.
The old Puritanical Sabbath laws for
bid mariners to leave port on the
Sabbath, and during his absence one
of his neighbors, who evidently had
grudge of some kind against the sea
captain, had entered a protest against
his wicked violation Of the Lords day.
In court Captain Pote attempted to
justify his action by the long delay
that had been occasioned by the calm,
but the presiding justice would listen
to no excuses and imposed large
fine upon the angry mariner.
So angry did the captain become
with the town and it's inhabitants that
he vowed that he would leave it,
never to return, and that he woule
take all his possessions with him. He
straightway proceeded to tear down
the house and loaded that and all his
other possessions on board his vessel
and transported the property to
VOLTS neck, where the house was set
up in a slightly location overlooking
the sea. At that time Freeport was
a part of the old town of North Var
mouth
In locating his house on VOLTS
Neck Captain Pote made one serious
mistake. He failed to study the lay
of the land sufficiently to determine

aurochs the bison by so much as word As
the authors of these classics were great sports
men and close observers this would support the
theory that both these animals had already then
become quite extinct In western Europe.
In the sixteenth century, when Europe, so far
as art was concerned, had at last been aroused
from It's medieval stupor by the invention OF
printing, and an extraordinary demand had
sprung up for pictorial matter illustrating re-
cent exploration of new worlds and the various
forms of the chase, there produced quite
number of pictures of the aurochs by artists,
very few of whom had ever set eyes upon live
wild specimen, though they may have seen cap
tive ones. The artist of whom we positively
know that he had before him at least a stuffed
specimen was the Viennese engraver Augustin
Hirschvogel (born in Nurnberg about 1503), who
illustrated the famous travel book of Baron Her
bernstein, the authority most frequently quoted in
connection with the aurochs, for he absolute

fectly correct differentiation. The picture of the
bison has the following: II am Bison, am
called by the Poles a Suber by the Germans a

the ignorant a Bison" The inscriptions in the
various edtions-Herberstens volume appeared
IN several languages-vary trifingly, but the
above which are taken from the edition Of 1856,
give the sense in the best form
Shortly after Herberstein the Flemish painter
Stradanus, who lived and worked for over fifty
years In Florence (from 1853 to 1605), produced
a drawing OF an aurochs engaged in terrific
struggle III an arena where he was matched
against lion, two wolves and bear This

er similar print was produced fourteen years
after bmy the Nurnberg engraver, Johann Sib-

Then follow in rapid succession, half dozen
'portraits' by Tempesta the pupil of Stradanus,
one of which prints we reproduce. 1t shows in
what awe the gigantic wild bull held, for it
depicts form1dable-looking machine wherewith
the bull could be attacked and brought down.
Tempesta's pictures need not be taken seriously,
for his Roman studio" was nothing but a work
shop where apprentice hands turned out vast
of prints of little or no value in an enquiry
of this sort. His English contemporary of the
pen Edward Topsell, in his illustrated natural

very strange as may appear by his figure pre-
