In the latter part of the summer of ’«*, I being at that time a resi dent of KncrvIHc.

Occasionally we saw a tiny rill that threaded Its way down the mountain aide, so small that you could atop It with your foot, until the accumualted water broke over the barrier and went on its course. Starting In some small opening way back In the mountain. It went on Its way until Joined by others, they joined the babbling brook that has tened to Join the brimming river. Altogether, the journey was a pleasant one, although attended wit considerable risk* M>metlines, owing to the loose rocks that were eve rywhere. and always threatening a fall. We reached the place of meeting on the second day, and met a royal welcome. Our presence was expected and when we entered the house, the moderator requested ua to come forward and receive the greetings of the brethren. Just then someone began the hymn and ihe^warm handshakings waa something to be remembered. The meeting did not differ from that of a similar character elsewhere, and no special record is necessary* On the morning of the third day we started home. As we could not make the journey In the day. we turned aside towards evening to spend the night with an old-ttme friend of my fellow-traveler. Here we were warmly welcomed. Davla as an old acquaintance, and I us his friend. The honse was a single story, two room structure, planned on at sort of shelf formed by cutting) down the side of the mountain. The larger apartment was the hall, whlc constituted a living room and bed chamber. Hack of this and imme-j diAtely against the perpendicualr, walk of the mountain, there was a loiwt narrow room that served as a Itehen and dining room. The family consisted of the old man and wife, two huxom girls of probably Id j.ud 17 years, and a boy of about Kyintnera. Soon aft*>r oif : arrhal. the old lady, a busy bustling body said to one of the girls; "Mollie. you better see If the cows are coming home’, the girl, to my utter aston ishment. ran to the kitchen and loo up the chimney, and aald ’ Yes. mnrra."

Mf vest followed, and I paused a mo ment before taking off my pants, but the merriment went right on. They seemed to be unconscious of my presence, so I disrobed and got In bed. I he last I recollect was a peal i»l laughter over some Joke told t> .lint Is. « Next morning before day I heard the old lady rouse the old oinn and tell him. you better call nill and have him get a chicken for breakfast.
