The first " Sea •' ingrcgation left I/Ondon in March, and arrive f in I'hil adelphia in June, 1712. C unt / nz*>n lorf himself had precNV. The responsible task of fitting out and organising the expedition had been intrusted to llrother Spangenberg. then residing in London, and the selection could not have fallen upon a more suita hie individual, for to ins other rpialificft tions he joined that of personal experi ence. Seven years before he had fitted out the first Moravian colony which went to Georgia, had himself accom panied it across the Atlantic, had spent : four years in Georgia, Pennsylvania and the West Indies, nnd had mode several voyages between those colonies, some of ; which were attended with more than ordinary privations and dangers. He f ©as now. after Zinzendorf's departure, at the head of the affairs of tho church in England, and had a serious responsi bility resting upon him. Yet he did not decline this additional weight, but applied himself to his new duty with the accustomed devotcdness, alacrity, 1 foresight and attention to details. The majority of tho "Hea Congrega tion" consisted of Germans, many of whom had been selected to replace the first colony at Pilgerruh in llolstein, but being refused admission by the government at Copenhagen, they now ' proceeded to America. 1 They reached London in February and were not only received and enter tained by their local brethren but in tho organisation of the "Sea Congrega lion," which sailed on the ship < utlia rine, there included seven families who joined them there. These included j Samuel Powell, with his wife Martha, . and Joseph Powell with his wife Mar tha, who oaiue from Shropshire, on the ! border of Wales. After all the peril* and hardships and delays of a sea voy age in those day* these good brethren landed in this country, the Powells firt ! preaching at New Haven and holding impressive religious discussion with the students and professor* of Yale and journeying toward New York from New | Greenwich on foot, reuniting with their ship's company in New York harbor and sailing thence to Philadelphia from • where they journeyed to ltetliiehem, . the chief of the Moravian settlements. ! <>f these Powell brothers Joseph was j the great grandfather of Jo-eph Powell , of Toivanda, Bradford county, Pa., who is now the candidate of the democratic j party for State Treasurer. Hewasac | live and prominent as a Moravian iui j sionary for years after his landing nnd 1 settlement in this country. Among 1 the Indian* and the Negro* * of dam n c i and at the various missions of his church he verve*! tho Holy cnu*o in which he had enlisted. His wife died in Hethelem and is buried there. lie himself being sent by the church to the Indian station, Wechquadnnch, Conn., on the confine of New York ■state,died in Shar m, Littlcfidd county, Conn., and in lvV'the Moravian hitor it-11 * iciciy erect*- 1 a monument above lm gr*v>- taking tip into it the stone which hi* Indian parishioner had set ' over hi- grave with the inscription of their affection.

In these varied pursuits lie ha* been uniformly succcsful, bringing , to them that genius of mrntnon *ene, -ound business principles, intelligence, thrift and broad comprehension which am needed in the administration of public as well a* private affairs. Mr. Powell i* no politician, and ha* never sought office, fturing the war he was an earnet supporter of the I'nion cause. He contributed liberally to the comfort of the soldiers in the field, not only by subscriptions to tho Christian Commit j sion, Patriot l>aughters and kindred associations, but by more immediate help; many of the soloier boys who went out from Bradford county carrying in their knapsacks a blank et from " Powell's store" tho gift of its proprietor. Though specially exempted from military service, ami I relieved from conscription, he insisted j upon procuring and paying for a sub stitute, whose gallant military bearing he watched with great solicitude and satisfaction, lie took iasue with and separated from the republican party on j its reconstruction policy, ami in 1874, without his knowledge and despite bis ' declination, bo was nominated for con gross by tho democrats of his district ( and elected in the face of a heavy re publican majority. He served in the ilth congress with an unusually large ( and influential democratic delegation | from Pennsylvania, and was highly , popular with bis colleagues. On the Committee on Private Land Claims and ( on Aooounts he was attentive, induslri - out iiiul influential, and on the flour liu never failed to faithfully represent and attend to tho buiiueaa of liia conslitu enta. When the repeal of tho rcump tion of specie payment act va* attemp ted ho kept steadily at his pout to prevent it: all the measures of economy urged l>y tho democrats in thatmemora blecongrens had his hearty support, and in tho turbulent days of tho disputed presidential election he slood by the right with unfaltering zeal and firmness.

In I-Sl ho was named for the State Treasurer nomination at th< William sport convention, and went on there to withdraw his name, lie came to liar risburg tliis year for tho same purpose, but the earnest wishes of hi* friends prevailed against it, and the pressure from all parts of the Slate fur his norm nation indicated to him his duty to yield his personal preferences to the urgent desire of his party.

The llazleton Mcntinrl publishes the following incident which occurred at the late encampment of the O. A. It. at Gettysburg. Among the veteran* who accompanied Hobinson Post was John Schatfer, at present residing in Drifton, who was a member of the 143 Kegiment. He went to Gettysburg last .Saturday, and on .Sunday while he was rambling over the field with a number of bis old comrade* he told them he was going to search for his canteen which he bad hidden under a flat atono just before going into action on the first day of the light, it seem* that when his regiment was ordered to move forward, John bad procured a piece of fresh beef and in order to eook|tt he made a frying pan of his canteen by splitting it in half ( j something often done by soldier* in the * army. In the hurry and excitement of the moment bo had no time to prepare his rm-al and in order to save hi* frying pan he lifted up a flat stone and placed the irnpovhed pan under it with the j intention of finding it again should he refurn. Contrary to all expectations | the regiment did not return to the same position, and Schafler * Lying pan was | forgotten. Having a distinct recollec , tion of the spi.t where it was hidden he had no difficulty last Sunday in finding the identical flat stone and on raiding it there lay the precious old canteen I where it had remained for twenty years- It is said Schafler almost shed tear* of joy on finding the ru*ty reminder of | camp life. Hi* comrades gathered 1 around him and in a few moments the remain* of the canteen was divided into tnall pieces and distributed among , them to be preserved n- a relic of the battle field of Gettyaburg. j AV li' .ttlii rt ihi iii rit t. fiala Day for Centre bounty?
