Tlie Harmony jMuioly.
Koonomv, P.i., Juno i!S, '9ti.
FitlK.Nl Uosm Kit: When it be
calm known thnt I a.ih going to
Kconoiny to work fur tho Harmony
Society, j great many (ttostions were
a-tked mc in regard lo the Hiuno its
obj"o!, buiness relations, and relig
ious doctrine but I mn then unable
to answer them sitNfactorilv, and I
promised to write them some time in
the future. This organizition,
known as tho Harmony Society, was
perfected in 1S05, under tho leader
ship of Father Itpp, Wucrtcnbcrg,
Ucrminin, under the impulse of ii cer
tain religious belief, nanicl). that
the second coming of Christ was near
at hand. About thrco or four hun
dred members comprised that organ
ization, and they bought a tract of
land about eighteen miles from hero
ami lotinded tho town of Harmony,
which is today in existence and in a
good MtHto o,f preservation in llcuvcr
county, upon tho high prairies just
west of the Alleghany mountains, but
they soon lotiiid that, in order to suc
ceed morn comfortably, they must en
giue in commerce, aud tlicrcforo sold
their estate there and went to Wnb
ash, Indiana, where they bought land
and started a similar town and en
gaged intmaiiufncturing and running
n tow boat-on tho rivers, but tho cli
mate proved detrimental to their
health, burjiiign good nuuy members
there. They again sold out their
holdings and enmc, with all their
movables, to this present site, Econo
my. In talking with one man a brother
of tho pic.scnt landlord of tho hotel
bore, a renter by namo of McUasky
ho told mo that ho Had once scon a
book supposed to bo the inyoicc of
tho sluiT on hand; that, on a certain
date in April dated at Wabash, Ind.
thoy had on hand so many sacks of
letters; so many harnesses; so many
joke of oxen; so many bolts of cali
co, It would seem that tboy cngago
in diiTerent branches ol industry be
sides farming.
When thoy bought the present sito
of I1000 acros it was pretty naar all
covered with timber. Getting as
close to their first starting placo as
they could, and yet staying closo to
the Ohio river, thoy immediately be
gan to clear the river bottom for tho
town sito where tho town is now st
u.tted, using tho lumber for tho build
ings. Thoy alo must havo mado
brick, for tho old building known as
the silk mill has tho date 1825 in a
big sand-stmio ovor the main entrance.
In this building thoy manufactured
silk for many ytare, tho product of
which samples weroscnt to the world's
fnir, mado 4H jcars ago, carrjing olT
si ootid premium, and the reason they
did not get lirst premium was lurgoly
duo to tho fact that tho silk was out
of date. And to think that they
were nothing but tho cemmon peas
antry of Qermania, baudod togoxher
in u society; that thoy should possess
suoh remarkable ingenuity ! They
also mado woolen goods on a largo
smile, out of which thoy roali.cd al
most a fortuno in '49, whon that groat
gold striko was on in California.
This thoy sold thero by ono of their
own mombors; shippod thero in their
own boat, which plied tho water from
Pittsburgh to San Francisco. Thoy
afterward turnod tho woolen mill into
a cotton mill. Thoy also ran a har
ness shop, a Urge building now being
turned into a dwelling, it being a part
of my labors sinoo I oamo here.
Thoy had a largo blacksmith shop, in
which thero were six fires. A largo

enoper shop ,is also tiriintained.
This was probibly due to the fact that
thoy ran si l.ug" distilhry ami wine
kelter. Sevcr.il l.ir-e wine cell.irs nre
in tho town, admit ll! leet deep under
ground, and arched over with stone of
which there i an ubtind.inoc here.
Thoro is now in our cellars about 151,
000 gallons of wine, old and new.
The distillery wns sold jeais ago to ti
company.
There is a line tlutiriug mill here in
tho town, much larger than tho lied
Cloud mill. They also own u large
brick-yard, which I think is a model;
capacity, about 17,000 brick per day.
The dry house is heated with gas un-
ucr tuc uoor, which is ol masonry,
and a degreo of tctnperaturo is kept
in it so that the brick are ready for
put in tho kiln IS hours. They have
livo kilns and burn them about eight
een days, making a brick that resem
bles tho St. ljouis pressed brick near
er than any brick I ever saw in all
my rair.blings over u.a United States,
and sell from fifty cents to two dollars
moro in Pittsburgh than any other
brick. This yaid is rented by Weber
& Co., and the water and suioko are
taken off with u.is. The town is be
ing furnished with gas from two wells,
tho briok-yard from a third, and w
aro developing tho fourth well now.
These wells were started about cloven
years ago, when they drilled for oil.
They developed eight oil wells tho
Htmo season, after they got several
dry holes which put u damper on tho
oil business for the time being, but
was rovived again last mi tinner, and
thero are now about thirty oil wolls
being pumped day and night in tho
Koouomy oil fields, ono of which,
whon it lirst flowed, nude Sf barrels
per hour, and then gradually tapered
till today it makes about 1-10 batrols
por day. This well has mado Giles &
Co. about $112,000 in tho two months
it has been flowing The list sevon
wells that came in arw rather bolow
expectations, and two have been aban
doned as not paying. Tho wells hero
are about from 1300 to lliiiO feet
deep, and a complete oil woll, in work
ing order, costs about 3,000.
Kvorything is rented that can be,
wo only running machino shop, wine
cellar, and water woiks and laundry
combinod. The town has about
eighty houses, two largo hotels, two
wino kcltcrs, ono city hall, one carpen
ter shop, ouo blacksmith shop, one
tin shop, ono stort, ono flour mill, two
largo graia houses, ouo two-story four
room school house, one church, tho
big house which Mr. Duss and his
family occupy. This is tho businc.su
center of tho town. Tliero is the
home tfliee, Mr. Duss having ono
office in Pittsburg, whore ho goes
every week day. Then there arc
six largo stables, about 10x1-0 feet,
ono threshing house, ono saw mill,
one planing mill about as good as
there is in tho ttuuutry, ono maahino
shop, one largo dairy, two houses for
chop feed for the dairy cows, ono
largu patato house, ono house whero
tho supply of feed is kept mid cooked
for tho hogs, ono basket houso where
willow baskets ara mado and stored,
ono shoo shop, also occupied by shoe
maker's family, ono tool house, no
lumber yard and offioo. Those aro all
the good houscB, then thoro aro sovcral
old and condemned buildings in
which stuff ia Blared. Lastly, we
havo a aioo large garden, tho unoocu
pied space of a blook 330 feet square,
and not takon up by the big house,
This spot can truly bo called tho nic
est garden anywhere for the sizo of it,
as there aro plants and shrubs from

every clime growing in it. It has a
large green house eotiti'oted with i',
in which tho tender plants are kept
over winter. There is a small admit
tatn'o fee charged to tho gitden, ex
oe't Suni'ays, when Mr. Duss gives a
concert with his world renowned band;
then even body goes in free, and what
a crod wo had on Pentecost ! Peo
ple flock in by the thousands. There
were jut 107 on wheels present that
ilnj, and Mr. Duss did himself well,
if the encores ho received signify
un) thing. This place is a regular
meeca for the people ol Pittsburgh.
1 forgot to mention the butcher
shop part brick and part fiamc
consisting of three rooms: killing,
outtiug, and selling rooms, with an
annex usrd for Eoop house, also a
largo smoko houso lo cure meats in,
and tho bako shop where the old fash
ioned broad in bakvd for tho town.
Everything in tho way of machinery,
except the planing mill nnd flouring
mill, is run by natural gas. These
two places aro fired by coal that costs
a trifle less than $'J per ton. Tho oil
business nets the society abdut $300
per day as their share. Mr. Duss is
city mayor, postmaster, assessor,
preacher, and band director, all in
ono, besides the business head of all
the Society owns and controls.
JeniN T. Jcssr.N.
P. S. Tho members of tho society
aro very plain people, both in life and
death, as tho littlo graveyard filled
with those that hayo died hero will
testify. Nothing can bo teen but
ltttlo mounds, as closo as the graves
oan bo dug, and not n stone marks the
resting plaso of any of them. Thero
aro now just twelvo numbers living
that comprise tho society. Mr. Dubs
is also school .superintendent and
president of school board Ho holds
church scrvico twiao on Sunday. In
tho lust two years tlicio has been n
Union Sunduy-sohool established hcrr
in which services aro conducted in
English, tho socioty church is Ger
man. Wo are eighteen miles from
Pittsburgh, on the Pennsylvania Fort
Wayno railroad, double track, with
about fifty trains daily, east and west.
Crops look very good, and fruit is
plenty, wheat about ripe, and early
cherries harvested.
