An Old find's Acre.
It is always interesting to call up tho past,
to remember our fore-fathers and to visit
their places of slumber and rest. Such an
Acre of God is opposite tho farm house upon
the hill on the lann of Mrs. M. Guth in
Franklin township. This God's Acre was
long sinco ploughed by tho hand of Death,
and sown in its furrows craves. The seed
of the future resurrection. This burial
ground is not cultivated. Thisisrightand
proper. It is tho aero of GW. Itbelongs to
Hiin. In it is sown the teed from which
shall spring a new aud spiritual life.
No tombstone or monument marks tho
resting place of tho silent dead. No marks
of the uo o " this place can be noticed, yet
we may taf.ly place the date before the vear
1S11. Since tho year 1841 the Big Creek
people haven church building and church
yald. In the above named year was organ
ized the St. Paul's Refoimcd nnd Lutheran
Congregation, now commonly known as the
BigCieek Church. Here are tome of the
names of those persons who sleep in this old
grave yoid. These names were given me
by Mr. nnd Mrs. Jacob Suit, now living in
their old homestead, about a ha fa mile, from
this city of the dead : viz: Jacob Solt, fath
er of tho Jacob Bolt who gave mo this in

John Arneraiid Mrs. Read of Weissport and
Mrs. Dr. German of Lehighton are brother

Also, Mrs. Dan. Solt, Jacob Solt Sr's., broth

J. II. Sttoyer oll'ered tho following:
Whereas, the operators ami shipiors over
tho L. V. R. R. are desirous of entering into
an arrangement for the government of tho
anthracite coal trade for tho year 1679 ;
therefore,
Resolved, That the chairman appoint a
committee of three, who, in connection with
Messrs. Liiiderinan and Miller.shall consti
tute a committee to co-operate with the re
presentatives of the other coal regions, with
n view of arranging a plan for tho manage
ment of the anthracite coal trade for 1879,
and that said committee report back to a
meeting of tlio operators, to be called bv tho
chairman, tho result ol such conference.
Dr. Lindcrman thought the operators
should agree among themselves as to what
they wanted.
General Pardee said the meeting was not
prepared at this time to lay down anv plan
for the guidance of the commitUw. 'it was
called merely to aplnt a committee to
confer with ono representing tho other in
terest!. Mr. Swoyer thought tho committee ought
to bo appointed because, when they met
with the others, plans might bo suggested
that would be acceptable to all sides.
Dr. Lindcrman tnid he was not opposed
to the resolution, but ho was not willing to
servo upon the committee, as it might com
plicate matters witli the Board before the
close of the year. Ho was satisfied that tho
Lehigh operators would not be willing to
accept the allotment ot 1878 for 1 879, and he
had taken the responsibility to inform the
Board of tho fact.
Alter somo further discussion, tho resolu
tion was adopted, after being amended by
striking out the names of Messrs. Lindcr
man and Wilbur.
The Chair appointed ns tho committeo
Messrs. Swoyer, Weston, Dodsou uud A.
Robinson. Adjourned.
