ARTHUR THOME. Information is wanted as to the fields of labor and burial place of Rev. Arthur Thome, a Scotch Presbyterian minister. Family tradition locates the former in (theater and Lancaster counties, and the latter in the cemetery at Little Britain, but a lineal descendant in the Presbyterian ministry in the fifth generation is unable to verify the tradition. The only child of this Scottish clergyman was John Thome, of Lebanon, a J.

P. and Paymaster in the Revolutionary War. The inquirer, Rev. D. V.

Mays, is a grandson, on the maternal side of John Thome, of Manheim, whose daughter Rebecca married George Heilmau Mays, of Shaffersto.wn, Lancaster county. Poland, Ohio. KECOROI Of Dtrrj and Pax tang Charthrl Daring the ministry of the itev. Joanna Williams D. D.

HK WELSH SETTLBE8 OF EiBL AKD CAKKHAaVOH. The movement of the Wedsh into Karl and Caernarvon commenced as early as 1715, gradually mcrea sing in importance until by 1730 the land in these townships, especially along Cones toga creek, were taken up. Few among them were born in Wales, and among that few most of them were brought over by their parents. They came from Radnor and adjoining townships in Chester county and from Montgomery township ini Philadelphia county. Most of them belonged to the Church of England, but there were Baptists among them and a few Quakers.

They established no Baptist church, but retained their membership in the Great V'i 1 1, rt ii.l W.l. l. 'I. .1. 1.

The records of this early date are no longer in existence, but in opening a new book for the ministers of the vestry in 1751 they gave the following short history of themselves and of their church: 'By the Honorable William Penn, (original proprietor of the Province of Pennsylvania, in his charter to all persons who ishould be inclined to transplant themselves from any part of Christendom into said province,) it ia granted they shall eugoy the free exercise of the Christian Religion under whatever denomination "Upon this, so engaging a plan of privileges, among ot.herw, several families of Welsh known, by the name of Aneient Britons, did transplant themselves from Wales, ini Old England, into the province 1 aforesaid, and settled themselves at first in the township of Radnor, in the county of Chester, wihere they erected a place of worship, where they had Divine Service, aceordinr to the doctrine and discipline of the Episcopal Church of England of which church thoy were all zealous members, and had for "their minister the Rev. Mr Robert Weyman, the Society's Missionary for the propagating the Gospel in Foreign. Parts.

"After some years, many of them finding their settlementis too confined (from the vast numbers of incomers) they Anno Domino, 1730, removed some miles to the westward into a new county called Lancaster, and settled in a township called Caernarvon, from a shire, of the saimc in Wales in Old England and fixing here they (in immitation of nil good Christians) found that no place would be agreeable to them without the public worship of God; therefore, unanimously ami cordially consented and agreed according to their worldly circumstances, to build a church of square logts, which they finish and gave it the name of Bangor, from a Diocese of that name in Wales in Old England. "The principal members who built the paid church were jim follow: 1. Thomas Williams. Tt 1 3. Nathan Evans, 4.

Griffith Hughs, the Society's Missionary for Propagating the Goftpcl in Foreign Parts, A. D. 1733. Mr. Hughs removing, he was swceled by the Rev.

Mr. Roger RlackaU. After him. they had the Rev. Richard Lock, the Society's Itinerant Misnionarv.

who was succeeded ly the Rev. Mr. George Craig, the Society's Itinerant Missionary, A. D. 1751." And this is all the history they hove made for themselves down to the first recorded nutting of the nvmlKTS for the election of officers in 1751.

It is svrnnge mingling of facts with tradition tradition no more worthy (if accept nee than the "three brother emigrants." It is certain, that the first emigrants under Penn's invitation came over to escape religious persecution at. liome that, they were almost entirely Quakers at first, with Baptists but few or none were Episcopalians. Under Charles II, and until KM5, (junkers and Baptists were persecuted imprisoned, fiu a.nd beaten but when James II became King all Protestants had reason to fear. Tlie large that came over during these vear and the character of the emigrants made a 7w osperoii colony. This, with the unsettled conditions at home, induced men in all ranks to cmno over to engage in trade fiim ong these were ivpwopn 1 ions.

'The Societv for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts sent over its missionaries to gather them into she church, and the Kiethian schism, that utmost d'u nptcd the (junker 8tciety. tween tlie years K591 and 1M7, added rnnnv to the Episcopal and Baiptist ehi'r'chef.

She would never take such SS 1 hands of any but a trained and skillful athlete.

That is where she is really more prudent than many of her sex. Women who would shudder at the risks of a gymnastic performance take vastly more dangerous chances by trusting their life and health to the advice of some incompetent, uneducated person, when they are suffering from weakness or disease. Only a skilled, experienced physician is competent to prescribe remedies for the complicated ailments of the feminine organism. No mere nurse is fitted to deal with diseases which demand the utmost resources of medical science. For nearly 30 years Dr.

R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical of Buffalo, N. has given special, expert attention and study to the treatment of women's diseases. No physician in the United States has had more remarkable success in thi3 particular field of practice.

His "Favorite Prescription" has cured more cases of obstinate female diseases than any other known remedy. No other medicine in the world so completely restores organic health and strength to suffering women. Mrs. Jacob Schaffner, of Free ansburg, Northampton writes: It is with pleasure that I write to let you know the great good I have received from your medicines and the self treatment at home. I was troubled with female weakness had pains in my back all the time, sometimes so severe that I could not lie still in bed at nieht I tried different doctors but they could not help me Then my husband induced me to try Dr Pierce's Favorite Prescription.

After taking six bottles I feel like a new woman. Thanks for your advice." the south side of the Welsh Moutain. A road was early laid out between these churches and the members of each attended the other. They married and intermarried, so that the study of the one involves that of the other. But who were these men who settled on the "branches of the Conestoga" (as all their warrants recite), and contributed towards the erection of the first log building for church purposes.

They, one ami all, took tip land, and therefore there is no difficulty in locating them, but how related to each other is not so easy. In hopes however, of having others, with facts tearing on this, adding them, I will in this and future papers attempt the task. The key to much of it is found in the wills of William Davies, of Radnor (died 1739). Richard Miles, sr. (died 1713) Richard Miles, jr.

(died 1734), Samuel Miles (brother to Richard, died 1708) and others. Griffith, Richard, Samuel and Ann Miles were from Slanddowi, Radnor county, Wales, and came over in 1682 or 1083; they were Quakers, as was also William Davies, who married Ann Miles. The sons and sons in law of William Davies are on the list of contributors as follows: Gabriel Davies and his sons Edward and David, John, Davies, Nathan Evans (married to Susannah Davies), Evan Hughes (married to Ann Davies), ami Thomas Nicholas (whose son married a daughter of Nathan; Evans); the other Edward Davies married Jane Miles (a daughter of Richard Miles, and whose only child. Mary, afterwards became the wife of Edward Da vies, the son of Gabriel Davies. Philip Davies and Edward Davies, were brothers, and it is believed brothers to William Davies, of Radnor; these settled in Caernarvon, Zaccheus Davies and John Davies were sons of Jenkim Davies, of Ear I.

Rees Daviess was son in law of Davies. as was also John Edwards, the son of Thomas Edwards. Esq. David Jones, although not one of the founders of Bangor, married Elizabeth her sister Mary. Myrick Davies, of Radnor, as did also Hugh Hughs marry her sister Mary.

Mynick Davies. oif Philadelphia, was another son of William Davies. The first recorded meeting of the members of Bangor is as follows: "At a meeting of the members of the Church of Bangor, this 17tb day of November A. D. 1751, the Reverend Mr.

George Craig being present, were chosen for the remaining part of the above year, viz: Church Wardens: By the minister, David Jones; by the congregation, Francis Morgan, "Vestrymen: Nathan Evans, Evan Hn ghes, William John Davis, William Edward Davis, Davis. Robert Ellis, William Dauglass, John Curry, Hugh Davis, David Thomaf. The Rev. George Craig was succeeded in 1759 by Rev. Thomas Barton, who remained until 1774.

Elections were held year'y every year down to Monday, May 23, 1774. After that the church was closed until Nov. 4, 1780, when a subscription paper was circulated and feigned, stating that Rev. Frederick lining has been with them for some time and will engage to preach every other" Sunday, commencing September 1st. 1780.

The Rev. Mr. who was a Swede and a Lutheran, remained with them until June IO. 1793. when he released by Rev.

Levi Heath, who remained until 1799. The pastors since then have been Rev. Joseph Clarkson, 1799 1819: Rev. Jeyi Bull, 1819 1844; Rev. William.

We eneampetr above Iarry' Creek. (21.) Here Newolike's wife visited our Bro. Joseph, She stated that her husband was ill; otherwise both with their familv would have emigrated with us to tho West. The old chief told Bro. John that as soon as possible he would take the step, as he was in earnest to be converted.

June 25. We camped opposite Long IsSand. (22.1 Here rattlesnakes seemed to hold undisuted sway, and they were kill ed at all points. Not more than, a half nenr alter our arrival, a norse wan brought in, that had been bitten in the nose. His head swelled up frightfully.

and as it rained, the remedy failed to take the proper effect, and the poor animal per ished the next day as we lay camp ax the lower end of Long Island and halted there, on the 26th. Here I assembled all the men. told them that we hod progress ed but 30 miles during the past week, and that if we failed to make some rapwl headway, our comixury would come to serious want; that it would be prudent, under these circumstances, to leave the sick woman, her husband and their friends on the island (for we expected her release was near at hand); that when Davis and hia party (which had also remained in the rear on account of sickness) would come up, they coald join him, and that we would send men and fresh horses for them from Chinklaca moose. it Was rurtnermore resolved, mat the strongest of our company should pro ceed in live canoes with the Swsters baggage as far as Chiuklacamoose. (23.) The next day (27th), however, on arriving at Mr.

Campbell's, (H4) at the upper end of the island, w'here we met Mr. Andersoiij, tbey dissuaded usi from' attempting to embark a. canoe, stating the water to be too shallow for navigation. Hereupon the canoes and sundry utensils were sold: viz. the 4 windows for our church 1 box of glass 1 keg of nails and another filled with iron, we left here in trust, as it was impossible to transport them and yet everyone was loath to part with what was his.

It having rained incessant Jy for several days, our effects were wet through, anil Roth's had their clothes and bedding seriously damaged. Sunday, June 28. Yesterday I prom, isod at their request, to preach to the white settlers. Accordingly a goodly audience assembled, English settlers from the Bald Eagle Creek. (25) and the soult'li shore of the West Branch, to whom.

I proclaimed the counsels of God respecting their salvation. As no ordained minister of the Gospel was as yet settled in the neighborhood, I was requested to baptize, and accordingly I ad ministered (he Sacraments to the new liorn daughter of a Frenchman, Fourney by name, calling her Conigunda. and to the son of a Catholic, Antoine White, whom I named ohm. Joshua (26) convoked the men, and persuaded them despite their yesterday's de tilieration to the contrary to carry along Elizabeth who was sick, and also send lame Jonathan with a string of wampum ahiead to Lan.gundoutcii.iiik, Koskas Kink, and Gekelemckpeekink. As they coiiHultcd neither me nor Roth, in this Imslm ss, we took.

110 farther notice of it. It iroved, however, the beginning of divers perplexities. Monday, June 29. My 521 birthday. We net out from the Island by land.

I and a few of the Brethren from this day on lead the caravan. Travelled 14 mil to IVt Greek, on the jwith agreed npom. Prf ech Creek is a branch of the Bald Eagle. Aft)T encamping here, the Brethren returwd with horses, to fertch up the bagigage. This they did daiHy, and thus were compelled to travel the road three times.

Tuesday. June 13. Bro. mid Sr. R.

xth came up from the rear with the others, excepting Elizabeth and her friends, she Iw ing too ill Ao allow of her.leing carried. Thereupon I moved on 9 miles to a saltlick. As I wa in search of Roth's horse (which we hiad bought on Great Island) to send it back to Ms camp, I trod upon; a fifteen year old rattlesnake. Such Was my fright, that for days I took every foot Hdep with dread, fancying every rustling leaf to lie the movement of a vetnemous reptile. Tlie 2 Indian Brethren: with me.

dispatched the reptile. Nath'l Davis and company this day, rea rhed Campbell's. Thursday, July 2. Bro. Roth and the others ngain came to tlie front.

Friday, July 3. In company with Cornelius amd AVilliam, I advanced early in the morning. Up to thk time we bad passed only through a beautiful and fertile Tegion of country, but now our way lead across monn bains. (29) On reaching a summit, wlicm eight inih along, we waw the lold ieaks between the AVest Branch and the Juniata, like dwarfs, and before us tood AVe were comiiclied to Caiiip on a dry elevation, and to fetch water from the foot of the mountain. A poor little crripple, aged 10 or 11, our sainted Bro.

Jonas' son, whom his mother had carried all the way in a basket from one station to another, wias very weak to day, and expressed the wish to lie washed from (4n jn baptism. Bro. Itoth administered the Sacrament, and him Nat'ham. Saturday, July 4. Early to day there came two Indians from Kaskmsky, en route for Stoekbrids.

I invited them to breakfast. One of them spoke English, fluently. In his childhood he had been taken prisoner by the whites, but siirwe then had turned a complete Indian in his mode of life. AVe proceeded four miles into the mountains. Bro.

Roth was from this point summoned to Great Islenid by an express. Th.it her Joshua had returned with twelve men to fetch up his sick friend; and when he arrived there she was near her end, which she attained with re lease from all' suffering, on the evening of the 5th just an hour prior to Roth's arrival.

An Item at Literary Interest Translated I Into ajnlneae. The fact that an American book, devoted to what is iKpularly known as the "New Thought," has been translated into classical Chinese, and is having a considerable circulation in China, does not bear out the common impression that that nation is dead to all progrei.

The work referred to is "Ideal Suggestion." by Uenry AVood, published in Boston by Liee Shepard. Tlie translation was made by an English gentleman, Prof. John Fryer, who for nearly thirty years was in charge of the Ini'ierial Government Department for the Translation of Scientific Books, and who also established the Chinese Scientific Book Depot, Shanghai. The latter institution has many branches in different parts of the empire. Prof.

Fryer, two years ago, accepted the chair of Oriental Languages and Lfieerature in the University of California. In a late letter to he says, "the book has become popular among the enquiring and thinking classes." He believes that it may be educationally useful in helping to cure those who are afflicted with the suicidal opium habit. The remark attributed to a former American minister to China, that "There are thousands of Ralph Valdo Emersons in the empire," may be more exact than usually has been supposed. More than one highly accomplished Chinese graduate called on Dr. Fryer after the translation was published, and entered into long and earnest discussions respecting the subject the treats of.

The power of the mind over the body is a fact well known and understood in the Chinese systems of philosophy, and hence such works as Henry AVood's are likely to be much appreciated by the Chinese literati. A Story of the Pmnllne Era. By Henry AA'ooJ, author of "Studies in the" Thought AA'orld." "Ideal Suggestion." God's Image in Man." "Edward Burton." "The Political Economy of Natural Daw," etc. 12 mo. Cloth.

Messrs. Dee Shepard. Boston, have now in press a most interesting piece of fiction by Henry AA'ood. entitled "A'ietor Serenust." The scene is located in that very dramatic period of the world's history, the Pauline era. and through graphic character delineation! deals with the thought, customs, and religious systems of that time.

Its aim is to draw a true and well proportioned picture of the actual conditions, avoiding an overdrawn and debasing realism, so often employed for the sake of exaggerated contrasts. With unimportant exceptions, Paul is the only historic character, and those who have been privileged to read the advance sheets are of the opinion that the various dramatic and psychological situations which are depicted dining his unique development are remarkable. A'ietor Seron iis, and the other lea ling prnal'tics that ime employed, sue representative creations. AVhi.e the hitiic framework is ear tful ly preserved, there is a wide range of the fancy and imagination in the movement, and a wealth of mystical, physical, nn.1 weird phenomena deftly woven, into the fabric of the tory. Love, adventure, romance, idealism and magic are handled in action to combine entertainment, in.

tion and profit. Mr. AVood's former books, which have passed through many editions, have been mainly philosophical, ethical, and metaphysical, (one of which. "Ideal Suggestion," ha been translated into Chinese, and had a wide circulation, in that empire.) but in the present work tlie graces of the imagination stand out with great power in plot, action, style, and purpose. The.

book is 11 closely printed vluine of five hundred pages, and nood judges predict for it a great, circulation tiTv.l insularity. (Price, $1.50.) ILItcrairjr No tea. Messrs. Hodd. Mead Coiiiiwiny announce for early publication.

The American Monthly Review of lie views for March pub'ishes three important interviews concerning the anti Jewish crusade in France. The first, with SI.

Sherard reports conrversations with Dr. Max Nor dau, the author of "Degeneraitiom," and with M. Zola; these, of course, give the Jews' side ot the story. The whole taken together, throws much light on what to the Anglo Saxo mind seems so incHimprehonisih'e the real animus of French anti Semitism, and esiiecially its lM arimg on the Dreyfus case and Zola's tria" ht l'aris.
