The writer remember* when a : f I small boy of being a (guest for a few' j t j days, with hi« parent*, ai Judge Smith's, f There must have been a drown more ( i there besides himself, for al the time, a i "big" m«*tlng was going on In the old 1 | West Creek church, and a warm one it | i Nathan Corson, Imlay Hewitt, C'liristo. f pher 8. Hand, Parsons Townsend and I Judge Smltlt were at the post of ifuiy j i away from those meetings without I the pioneer period of Methodum" and 1 may be noted that Judge Smith mustered I .in .the ranks of the giants of those days, c they wctf.with big hands and hearts, ( and that had wonderful spiritual power | in their lives. The McKeag's. too, were ■ a prominent people in the old West 1 Creek church. The father being a local < in 111* footsteps. Nor must wo forgot to < I." Hand. John P.. Asbury, i and Stacy Uoff. the Christian I brothers, and Rob!. Bennett all of whom, i with others, are still wearing (he mantle i of Christian work. Such a ret of. men 1 arc a blessing to any community, and it 1 seems to the writer llmt their lives had 1 been influenced bv that of Judge Smith. I A few years ago the old.faslronet! meet- : i ing house vras made to give way for a : more modern structure, and tojjay tho : people of East ami West Creek arc wur- : shipping in a'handxomc lanctuarv. • Judge Smith was descended (torn a i long line of prominent men. lie was - born at Goshen. Cape Slay county, on ' January 28. 1795, it being near the clroe , of President Washington's second ad. j ministration. His education lor a surj reytw was completed at Bridgetem, which place had the best schools of those days. ' In his youth he assisted Ms fa her, ' Abijah.in the Clerk 'aufilee nt tliocnuniv. After marrying Deborah Tumllu In 1819 1 lie settled at West Creek, where he lived lill his death, which took place in 1871. The church always kepixim in poMIc life, bring converted In ehgjv yean he became a worker In the rfcA-ard at rmce. holding many Important places as Sunday School Superintendent. Lendc and Steward. In 18W he was elected to the State Senate, and because ot his : solid attainments comman<'cd. in thai ■ body, tne respect ot all its members.

In settlinfp estate* an., aetIng a« commissioner snd arbitrator, i Judge Smith hud no uuaqiployed time. Of the many tnnts commiired lo him lie never was f*l« to any, but continued to - the end of bis days leading s correct life. ' While moderately surcemful In biisiue**. i Judge Smith never got a petmr by ttlckery or any way not absolutely honorable. , In all the days of hi* years be wn» a ' siralghtOUt temperance man.

One department i* derpted to the remailing of misdirected letters to "their „ ■writers,' if possible. Nineteen - twen- j tieths of tliem are so returned, lite lH remaining weuticlh —amounting to i j, about, three hundred thousand a year— \ _ ate destroyed. • The " openers " make j r no examination of letters, ekcupt to see j ,, at a glance whetlier tb'iy contain 'anytlang of value. This is'all done by six- | # ty lady clerks, who dispose of from two I . to three hundred letters each per day. I In the great majority of cases the date i , and signature of the letter give all necessary information, and the letter, ' 1 with its original envelope, is soon ready . ' for its return trip. There are many in . wMctrtlic poetHiffice is not given In the . I heading. In business, as well as social . ] letters, the writer often used perhaps a . name by which the neighborhood is , commonly called, or some romantic ( | name which he chooses to apply to his f I farm or residence. In such cases the- j I is frequently supplied by the post- ( I mark on. Umcnv elope. In thousiUukftL j cases when the letters are between rela- , I fives and friends, the signatures are of , TMTf a m i u iirnii.T "arrecrrdtratr "sort; sircti [. as " Dick," - Sallie," " Mother," " Sister," | or "Ducky," all proper enough in their j . but quiU^oti indefhilte to be, of | ^ When the heading and signature are ' | sufficient the letter is not read, but the | the missing link. If found to be only I ( letter of friendship, and rontatning ( nothing. ■( importance, it is quickly cast or contains information of important ' I death*, marriages, etc.. all reasonable j writer or tho person addressed.

The sight of the old Church Bibles ' reminds us of the "days of yore, when ! persous suspected of witchcraft were often weighed against them, writes 1 William Andrews, F. It. II. S., in Home • Chimes. We find, in turning over the . [ pages of tho Annual llcgister, under j the. year 1709, the following allusion to j the practice; " One Susanna HannokdR an elderly | woman of Wingroye, hear Aylesbury, , was accused by a neighbor for bewitch- . ing her spinning-wheel, so that she 1 could not moke it go round, and offered 4 to make oath of it before a maglstratc; mi which tho husband, in on er to Justify his wife, insisted upon her befog tried by the Church Bible, and that the accuser should be present. ! Accordingly she was conducted to the , parish church, where she was stript of all her clothes to her shift and under- ; coat and weighed against the Bible. ' - when, to the no small mortification of ' accuser, she overweighed it and ■ was honorably and speedily acquitted of the charge." ! 1 The belief in witchcraft lingered a 1 longtime in that country; and even as 1 as 1708 that great and good man, the Bev. John Wesley, wrote in his journal: " The giving up witchcraft. Is . in effect giving up the Bible" The j laws agahrst witcheu wore repealed , in 1730 with little opposition, although , nut long prior to this year Mrs. Hicks, , together with her daughter, h cliild of . nine, was executed at Huntingdon on 1 July 28, 1710. "for raiding a storm of 1 wind by pulling off her stockftigs and making a lather of softp lit a basin in , ' league with the devil." They were the ' last, persons hanged In England for ' witchcraft Beautiful ■ are the admonition* of him wlitiae Ufa acoorda with hi* teachings.— Fx- 1 rtanga. i Tbaiw are flawa la diamond^ flies in am- < and fanlla hi every man. 1 dtrange bnt true, that tba more mflucKj a gambler la, the more money be to alvaya ( pntting in the louik.
