I. EXTRACTS FROM MORAVIAN DIARIES AT BETHLEHEM (Relating to Early Events in Lancaster, Pennsylvania) Made by Dr. John W. Jordan and Sent by Him to Hon. Charles I. Landis, at Lancaster, Pa. DIARY I. 1768 Feby. 12 Hopson & Henry with 2 other citizens settled a dispute with Mel- choir Schneieder and

expose, if possible, the falsity of Mr. Dixon's claims before the evidence is lost or has been forgotten. Mr. .Stevens was born on April 4, 1792. He came to Pennsylvania about 1815, and he was admitted to the Bar of Adams county on September 24, 1816. While in Gettysburg, he had an office at the

This seemed to me particularly appropriate, as even Professor William H. Miller, Mr. Eicholtz's grandson, had

, Stevens made his home at the place stated. In the third paragraph after the third sentence the following lines should appear: "About the spring of 1844, the late Emanuel C.
