make it 4 safe and comfortable residence.
The main channel is on the rail road side
Of the river. 1t is remarkable as the
Only island Of the size and character
along the Juniata. 1t was once no doubt
the retired residence, and perhaps, even
battle ground of the indians, as great
many arrows and other relics are found
on it even to this day. 1t is wonder
that when the bridge over the river was
first made, that it was not made so as to
touch at the point Of the Island, however
we observe that "the everlasting pine
squirrel aud some other qninsiies find
their way upon it without bridge. As
there is no 'nellon patch" on it this sum-
mer, We presume there viii be no noe
tu rnal prowlers haunting its shores, as
has been the case in other days. p
