That part Of PennSy lvana lying within the
boundaries of BeIks county was purchased from
the Indians, by Penn, in 1882 Or '33. Previ-
ousIy to thus time, however, considerable settle
ments had been made, which after the extin-
punishment Of the Indian title, were largely and
rapidly Increased, by the influx OF various ma
lions oil Europe, so that in 1852, it was deemed
advisable 10 take the territory occupied by the
settlers from under the jurisdiction Of Phlaiel-
phia, Lancaster and Chester counties. and to
erect a new county bearing the name oc 'Berhs.'
The original boundaries Of the county were
party OF new counties out of portions of terri
tory originally included in Berks. The aver
age length Of the county. at present, is SAID to
be, about 80 miles, and the breadth about %,
containing an area of9l7 square miles, or over
SOC, 900 acres. As have already intmaleA,
the county, though peoped principally by Ger
mans, had among its earliest settlers, rerresen-
tatives OF the various nations of Europe. Of
these the Sredes were undoubtedly the first in
point OF date, having made considerable i'm
provements and being already well settled at
and before the time Of VIM. PENIS arrival in

Germans, but still belring the names Of
their fathers,) still occupy a good portion Of
Obey and Asace townships. About the same
time (1GO,) there was large emigration Of
WelshmeR, who settled together in the SOUTH

Suddenly there came rapping, breaking up

Twas slow and measured tapping-tapplng

Rappins, humping all around the walls, the

Such as ne'er heard before.
Tables in confusion rocking, chairs against

To the neasure OF the humping on the ceiling

TO make one wonder
Whether storm OF fire and thunder had iust
broken on our shore,
Or mistress Caudle's ghost a hapless fellow

Quickly starting from my dreaming, the sounds
