It is an out growth of the Millerite excitemente of some twenty years ago, being founded in 18 5 by a Quaker named Howland and two women, sisters, Sarah Jane Harvey and Caroline Hawks. They went some twenty strong to live on a farm two hundred and ten acres, at at Petersham, which they have worked in common to advantage. They were first called Howlandites, from their “ prophet,” but when ho was killed by a runaway horse (leaving, by the way. a gospel something like the llook of Mormon) they became Fullerilos, j Leonard C.

He is charged with waltzing naked for the purpose of obtaining a communi cation from the Lord, and with other indecent practices. Howe had no counsel or witnesses, bat gave out that divine power would interfere on his behalf. Fresident Fuller, Sister Hawks and Steward Biiggs, however, harangued for him, claiming that he was the holiest living man and born of God. They added that Richard, Treasurer of the community, who testified against Howe, was spiritually low.

It 6ays: “ It is true that the cities of the South arc not as crowded as those of the North with men who cannot get work, or tramps or dissatisfied laborers. But the real reason for the quiet of the South when all the other parts of the country were overrun by mobs was the peaceful disposition of her people.
