seph Irwin, George, William, Levi, now edi-
tor and publisher of the stColumbia County
Democrat and Jesse Tate at present cti-
zen,of Ohio.
Nicholas Straw also came into the river set
Element about 1903, we are not aware where
he settled, but believe it was nearly opposite
to Robert Cresswelps residence. He was a
potter, and we should judge from the appear
ance of his son Christian Straw, that he was
advanced in years when he made his home in
Clearfield county. His descendan grand
children-are numerous and live generally in
Ferguson and Jordan townships.
The fact that the early settlers were princi-
pally men of little wealth-compelled to un-
dergo more than ordinary labor to obtain means
of subsistence for themselves and families, and
that the character of the country forbid the
hope that they could ever dispose of the pro-
ducts of the farm, so as TO enable them to pay
for land and secure homes, gave rise to two
important cupations-lumbering and coal
ing. Exporting sawed lumber was the first
that sprang into existence. In fact, arrange
ments had been made by Daniel Ogden and
Frederick Haney to pay for their lands in saw
ed stuff. Prior to 1905 those named had e.
rected mills. Shortly afterwards Daniel Tur-
ner built mill on Clearfield Creek, and in
1908 Robert Maxwell erected mill near Cnr-
wensyille, and William Kersey a saw and grist
mill in the Kersey settlement which settle
ment has by a division of the county been
thrown out of our boundaries. The same year
James and Samuel Ardery erected mill near
Clearfeld Bridge. In its infancy this business
was conducted very differently from what it is
now. The rafts were quite small, containing
only q few thousand feet and were run with
more hands, encountering greater difficulties,
than at present. None dreamed that our river
had as great capacity for transport as it has.
But the existence of our pineries was known.
That sooner or later the country would be de-
veloped and the shelter for ravenous beasts
become the shelter of civilized beings in the
eastern part of the State, was counted upon,
and the General Assembly had prior 10 the
settlement of the county declared its princi-
pal stream public highway.

There was no in dsputing the will-in

it broke the merchant down. He had lost
previously in foolish speculations, and had on
his hands only the house and a few thousand
dollars which he had managed to save for his
daughters portion. The widow offered Eu-
genie home, however, and she was too thor
oughy humbled to decline. She felt that it
was useless attempting to earn her own living,
for she had barely a smattering of any essen
tial knowledge. She could play few tunes,
she had painted few landscapes. embroid-
cred few collars and worked few lamp
mats-there her requirements ended. Harry
Bartlett, broken down and conscience -smitten,
went to California, and there he died. Rob-
ert Southey married Annie one year after the
finding of the will. And as to Eugenie, she
is always reported engaged, but we fear will
never be married.

LOVES PHASES.

The sigh of Love that silent steals
From young hearts warm and true,
Is sweet as when the Spring reveals
Her roses wet with dew.
The tear of Love, at parting hour,
Is sad-but, oh how sweet
When young affection owns its power
At eve, when lovers meet.
The smile of love-so fond, so dear,
Pure as the night-star shines;
Bright rs the newborn gem appears
In India's rarest mines.
The hope of Love-oh be it blest
For Love of Hope was born;
Hope is the dawn of passion chaste,
And Love the risen morn.

twenty eight young men, who were under
twepty-one years of age, exercised the right

AMONG the Austrian Prisoners at Paris at

which claims singular privilege-that of en-
camping for three days, whenever they pass
through Vienna, in the Court of the Emperor,
and of receiving the most regal entertainment.
The Col. upon his arrival, is allowed by law to
pass to the Emperor's chamber without ques-
tion, no one being permitted to stop him
He knocks thrice, and demands orders OF his
majesty, when the Emperor invites bin and
his to remain three days, regaling at his ex'
pense at the palace, assigns the Colonel
room next his own, the standards of the regi-
ments are piled at his door, and guard and
lords in waiting attend him the same as the
sovereign. The origin of the custom is this ::
SIN 1888, Leopold the First was suddenly
waited upon by sixteen Barons, with char
ter, which they were upon the point of forcing
him to sign, having as they thought, secured
the absence of all the troops from Vienna,
when, suddenly colonel, who received in
formation from secret source-it was never
discovered whence-knocked at the door
thrice, and, to the great JOY of the Emperor,
demanded his Majesty's orders for his regi-
ment, which were that the sixteen Barons
should be at once bcheaded.''
