tho necessity of a central location for the convenience or-public and priyate atrairs. It cotuptiscd, besides private residences, two taycitiij, two stores, two blacksmith shops, and rauge'l on both sides of the highway about-a mile south oi" the Meeting Houses. Fifty year? ago it va? a pleasant and tran­quil hitmlet, hut . ' toy hardly a vestige re­mains to reeaTl its former existence. 16 grad-iial'y decayed. Pire, the ravages of time and thodeunnds of other interests have ex­tinguished every trace of its active life.

The nrst Friend's ileelingjHotise was built I of logs and was situated about half a mile i from the laler buiidiugs and near the pres-i ent residence of lieorge Beadieston. The

north Meeting House v/ss erected in 1803 i and after the dissensions in the society was I occupied by the Hicksites. In 1832 the Or­

thodox seceded and erected the south Meet­ing House, which stood at right angles,and

) but a few feet from the other building. In I numbers tbe two parties were about equally J divided and living persons recall tbe time

when both houses were measurably filled with worshippers. There is a tradition, I

! think, that the seceders wore aided in the I building of their houso by the brethren j whose, association they had relinquish-'• ed. If the tale is true it affords a ioyely il-I lustration of the characteristic benefi-I cence and charity of the friends. One of i the^e edifices has been recently sold and de-I molisbed.

During, the first years of the century, Henri De Lord, a French emigrant or more slrictly perhaps, a refugee from the blood and rapine of the West Indies, became a res­ident of "The Union.'' He erected on the corner directly opposite the Friends meeting houses in the fashion of the period and re­gion, a mansion of large dimensions but without elegance or ornamentation, which still standi, although beaten upon by tbe storms of almost eighty years. I have no knowledge of tbe motives or influence which impelled elm to seek a home op what was then the verge of civilisation, and just as the wildernes was in its transition. He had no theological affinities with tbe Quakers. When he settled in Peru he was wholly ig­norant of the English language, and indeed he never attained an approach to any famil­iarity with it. He appears to have been a gentleman of culture and intelligence. Mr. De Lord was a native of Ni«me», a city founded by tbe .Romans, and distinguished as an intensely Hugonot metropolis in tbe religious wars of France, and by tbe terrible calamities inflicted on its people by the revo­lution ol the edict of Nantes, be could

Its sketches of public works and public characters, are written with clear­ness, and given a prominent place iu tbe paper. 4. I u locals,also, are brought to the light instead of being placed on the inside of the paper, in the shade. 5. I ls temperance column occupies an honorable position in the front, and truly reflects great credit up­on the ladies who sustain it. 6. Its adver­tisements are in their proper places, and are regularly read aftc.r tbe first page, by every reader, east, west, north and south. 7. Its fourth pag» contains a summary of all out­side news, from Congress and town elections, to pedestrian races and bunting stories. On the whole it is a very readable and original paper, and it requires thought, research and brains, to get it up every week.

Why not insure the valae in oar lives as well aa that ia our property f I n t b e e e a a t e f tbe death of an individaal, h k estate k the loser of an Jneosae prodnc-ing power to tbe estate that he produces while living. A lift insurance policy coates due at tbe time when each Jam occurs, the sanse that a Are inaavanee polky comes doe when iwoperty k destroyed by Are. T h e earlier in life a fin insurance poaey comas due, if eyer, tbe better, as in tbat event the greater length of time k left t o reproduce that property: Whereas, the later in has a life insurance polky talk due, the better, as the person in tbat event has had tbe oppor­tunity of producing tbe result o f a lifetime himself, which a policy of insurance would effect, to an extent, in case of h k early death. Business men insure tbeir most valuable property. What property bas a man tbat is of as great a value to his eataie as himself?

Mr. Wise will be glad to meet those who are interested in life insurance, or who de­sire any information on tha subject of tiie same, at the office of If. D . O'Brien, who is local agent for the company at PlatUburgh.

We take the following from the Rome Cit­izen ot Rome, 3T. T . :
