At a meeting of Dolegates from tho Wa

on Thursday the 10th of tbis month, Dr.
James F. Reed was cboson chairman aod

On motion, and after due deliberation, it
was unanimously resolved to bold a Mass
Convention of the order at Corry, on Sept.
10th, to begin at 10 o'clock a. m. of that
day.
On motion, a cordial and urgent invita
tion was extended to all the lodges in Erie,
Crawford, Vanango and Warren counties
of Pa., and of Chautauqua Co., N. Y., to
nutet at tbo coining convention in the great
est strength possible.
On motion it was carried that tho vari

regalia.
Necessary committets were selected to
push tMs movement forward and it is con
fidently expected that the most favorable
terms of conveyance will be kindly granted
by the proper authorities of the railroad
companies.

The town of Lynchburg, Va. , was estab
lished in 1T85 by an Irish emigrant of the
namo ol Lynch. Tbo term "Lynch low"
was derived from bis brother, a hot-tempered
Irishman, who was a colonel in tho rev
olutionary war, and who was In tho habit
of dealing summarily with tho tories and
desperadoes who infestod tbis part of the
country. Mr. Wirt, in his ' Life of Ilenry,"
says: -In 1793, there wore many suits on
the south side ot Jamoj river, for iollicittig
Lyncb'a Law."
A gentleman who has tried il, and is wil
ling to swear that it is just us ho suys, in
forms us that tho best Uy killer in the world
is a tumbler of whhky, sugar and water.
They will gather about it in swarxs, drink
it very greo.lily, get drunk instantly, tum
ble in hoad over heels immediately, and die
in a jiffy. Our informant states that this
will kill tho pests ten limes quicker than
the lightning Hy-U tik-r, and ten times more
of them than tbo old fashioned leap of mo
lasses and water. It won't cost much to
try it, and there's lots of flies to experiment
on now.

quality of tho liquor is Improved; Ihe bar
rels have their bungs removed to facilitate
tho process, and. tho exhalations from tbo
open barrels fill the air with an inflamma
