CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.
Translation.
The undersigned unite in establishing a fund for the main- tenance of a school-master, in the following manner : The under- written contributors lend to the to be appointed Trustees of a school-house, a sum, of which the annual interest at five per cent. is to be applied to the use of the school for the term of sixteen years, in the anticipation that at the expiration of this time others who may in the meantime be blessed in temporal affairs, and who shall discern the importance of this matter, will take the place of the present contributors. Should this, however, not prove to be the case, then the creditors shall not withdraw their loans until like sums of money are willingly offered ; for the fund shall under no circumstances be discontinued, unless to our knowledge an injustice should ensue therefrom. Moreover, ju- dicial fairness shall as much as possible be observed between us in this matter ; and should any such supporters of the fund, or their heirs, become impoverished, they shall be considerately dealt with and released, if not otherwise, then by the subscrib- ers, to wit.

You are a member of Parliament, and one of that Majority which has doomed my Country to Destruction .- You have begun to burn our Towns, and murder our People .- Look upon your Hands !- They are stained with the Blood of your Relations !- You and I were long Friends :- You are now my Enemy, -- and
I am, Yours,
B. FRANKLIN.

John Antes was born March 24, 1740, on one of his father's estates in Frederick township, Montgomery (then Philadelphia) county. He was bap- tized in the society of the Moravian Brethren when six years of age. In Jan- uary, 1764, he visited Europe, and went to Herrnhut; from there he went to Neuwied to learn watchmaking. January 16, 1769, he received a call to serve the Moravian mission then forming at Grand Cairo, in Egypt, which place he reached on the 10th of February following. In 1773 he made the acquaintance of Mr. Bruce, the celebrated traveler, at Cairo, and rendered him valuable as- sistance in making fine instruments. The same year he visited the Copts at Behnesse. In August, 1781, he left Cairo, after a twelve years' residence in Egypt, and the next year he attended the General Synod of the Brethren's church at Berthelsdorf, in Saxony. In 1785 he accepted the position of war- den of the Brethren's congregation at Fulnec, in Yorkshire, England. In June, 1786, he married, and in 1801 he traveled with his wife by way of Hull and Hamburg to Herrnhut. Having obtained dismission from his office in 1808, he chose Bristol for his abode, where, December 17, 1811, he died.
