Chamberlain's new barn, Mr. Z. Lawrence, from his fine farm northwest of the present Carbon, made his appearance, and preached a very remarkable and very long sermon, to these his co-Yankee friends from the east; he himself having come from Maine a few years earlier. His text was from Exod. 16:13 and Ps. 74:14. He gave a wonderful account of the turning of Jonah's whale into liv- ing quails, to feed the Israelites in the wilderness. A child happening to cry during the discourse, its mother was ...starting to take it out, when Mr. Lawrence told her to "Never mind, " as he himself was "father of a dozen and one. " His talk was so long that it seemed hours in ending. Finally, he said that he guessed that they were all tired of hearing him preach the "Bible, " he would now preach "Newspaper, " and proceeded to tell about his going to Washington city, and into restaurants under the capitol, where they sold whisky and other kinds of stimulants. He never came back to preach in Nevin again. Mr. Zach Lawrence claimed to have been a priva- teersman, under United States authority, against provincial sailing crafts in Bay of Fundy, off the Maine coast, at one period during the war of 1812-1814 against Great Britain.
