From X yolsmar's Lithographic View Milton t~ken
in from. Of the New AeaiemF Elifee.


| MILTON, on the eastern bank OF the
West Branch of the Susquehanna river
was laid out, from the southern borough
line up to Broadway, by Andrew Straub
in 1872, and from thence to the northern
borough line in 1875. 1t was incorporated
as Borough, % Feb 1917. Population
in 1880, 1879; in 1910, 1903; in 1850
1919; in 1860, the Borough proper, with
the new streets and manufacturing estab-
lishment in the Township, Gall commonly
called Milton are estimated TO contain
between 1900 and 5000 inhabitants.
The town is situated in pleasant and
highly productive region, and Is connected
by u Bridge with the western bank Of the
river. The West Branch Canal running
through it,and the Catawissa and Sunbury
d Erie Railroad forming their junction
within its borders, it is easy Of access, by
water or rail, from all parts Of the State ;
and only 80 miles from the ShaInOkin
anthracite coal fields, it is highly favored
place for either farming, or trading and
manufacturing enterprise.
All the trades and professions, commonly
found in large country towns, are fully
represented in Milton. Thirty vendors
of foreign and domestic merchandise are
assessed. \ savings and discounting Bank
was opened, Dec 1853. The town also
contains two grist-mills, brewery, steam
saw-mill, planning mill, four hotels, some
larger machine-shops, two foundries &c.
Religious instruction is provided by
eight Churches. The Oldest congregations
are the Presbyterian, the Lutheran, and
the German Reformed, who, about sixty
years ago, for time worshiped in the same
building. The oldest houses Of worship
are now the German Reformed or Hill
church Rev a q Dole, pastor; the Baptist,
served by ProfCurtis, Of Lewisburg; and
the Catholic, without pastor. The
newer, mostly large and tasty buildings-
are: the Episcopalian, erected in lsi9,
vacant the Lutheran, 1859, Rev. C. c.
Cutler; the Reformed Presbyterian, 1854,
Rev. VIM. Tn. Wylie; the Presbyterian,
1856, Dr. Watson; and the Methodist,
1860, Rev. J. W. Langley.
The standard Of education appears favo-
rable by the Free School reports Of 1889,
which show schools, taught 6 months by
3 male and female teachers-3s4 scho-
lars-sl247 tax levied. The same year,
a commodious Public School House WIS
erected, at an expense of over $4,000.
\ small building for the higher bran
ches of learning, erected in 1928 was used
until the beginning of 1860, when posses
sion was taken of the new Academy build (.
aing, a structure Of fine proportions and
imposing appearance. 1t was erected, $50,
at cost of nearly $1,000, by the enterprise
and liberali,y of the citizens of Milton.

angry, but what is becoming yourself,
that you should do. Now, my son,

you. Open your window, for the
robins will be singing in the apple
tree in the morning; your dear little
toe will be well as ever, and you will
be as happy and merry as bird
again. You will be my own brave
boy; and when you get to be big
one, yon'll understand Buff"

The Convenanter's Escape.

In the dark persecution in Scot
land. nearly two centuries ago, o
which our readers have heard as tho
BLACK '65," one of Gods most worthy
servants is recorded to have escaped
his enemies by daring leap. This
man, whose name was William Craig
was surprised by the Dragons one
day, on a moor in Galloway. He
could not get to his house, as they
had cut off his retreat. All he could
do, was to run for a bog, where he
had often hidden from his foes, but,
long before he could reach it, he was
overtaken and led back to his own
door. There the brutal soldiery anu
sing themselves By melting his wife 5
terror.
At length, they decided to take him
to a ridge half a mile distant, over
looking the source of a beautiful
stream, and to shoot him, and leave
his body to the care Of any one whose
love for Christ might outweigh their
fear Of enemies, and induce them to
give it the rites Of burial. They set
out, having tied their prisoner behind
dragoon for greater safety. His
practiced eye followed the windings
of the, stream, and he saw they had Sc
lected the only spot where he had the
slightest hope of escape. Slipping
down from his horse the instant his
bonds were united, he sprang out from
the bank, and alighted twenty feet
down the descent. Instantly grasp
ing his feet in his hands he rolled
downwards over the soft sward so
rapidly, that, though the bullets from
his foes whistled around him, he was
untouched. A dense mist rose sud-
denly, and hid him from his pursuers,
and in its friendly gloom he found a
safe retreat till they were gone.
1t was the last escape he had, for
ere long the persecution ceased, and
he came back to his dwelling in the
faith. He survived the prosecutions
for upwards of fifty years, and told
the story of his escape to his children's
children of the third generation.
His family suffered peculiarly in
those dark ages. No fewer than FIVE
of his relatives experienced the sever
ity of Claverhouse. One Of them was
shot, herding his sheep, ard at dead
Of night his wife buried his body.
One made his escape from threaten
ed death by burning, and sought in
Geneva the safety his home refused
him. He returned and slept with his
fathers in peace long after Dundee
and his myrmidons had passed to
their account. Their descendants are
to be found at this day, wealthy and
respected, verifying the promise.
Those that honor me, l will honor.
