business principles df the Pa society

society that, we were violating their
business rules, not knowing that we
were expected to pay tor all books we
ordered, within thirty days.
Our indebtedness to the Pennsyl

dollars exclusive of a bill contracted
by the Berwick society previous to
their uniting with us, which bill Ber
wick will settle. .

that he had in hand nearly sixty
dollars to apply on the debt, and by
the time this renoit comes to the
reader's eye the debt will all be paid
by moneys received since the conven
tion and we will have in stock in our
five depositories Bibles and Testa
ments to the value of over two hun
dred dollars, all paid for. 1
Deleeates were in attendance to
th; number of thirty-seven, chiefly
from Catawissa.

the commencement of the year. The

Has Hypnotio Jags.
Strange Case of a Reformed Toper Who Gels
Drunk in Hit Mind.
Physicians who have looked into
the case of Cyrus Gates, an old man
living near Blue Hill, Me., says he is
a hypnotic drunkard, a man who gets
intoxicated from the effects ot his own
imagination. Years ago Gates was
well to do and looked upon the wine
when it was red, and took sundry
glances at other liquors of diverse
colors and powers. Before his prop.
erty was all gone cataracts came upon
both of his eyes, making him totally
blind. For the last ten years he has
lived in utter darkness and has been
fairly temperate because he could not
afford to purchase liguor.
Two or three times a year the old
hankering comes on, and then he
scrapes together what money he can
spare and sends to Ellsworth for a
quart or a half gallon of strong New
England rum. No sooner nas ne
given his order than he proceeds to
become jolly, laughing and singing
like a man who is half tipsy. His
pulse rises steadily until it reaches 100
beats a minute, and his eyes become
set and watery. Finally, after having
royal time, and smashing a lot ot
furniture, he stackers off to bed and
lies in a stupor until the rum arrives.
Though he may have taken nothing
stronger than tea and water, he wakes
up with a headache and trembling
limbs, like-a man who has been on a
protracted spree, and uses the rum
which he has bought for the purpose
of sobering up.
