A PENNsyLvANIA "CAprAIN JACK.

a PENNSYLVANIA "CAPTAlN JACK.
1t may not be generally known that, in the old
Indian times, there existed In Middle Pcnnsyva-
mia, a yeritable Captain Jack" Of great proves,
whose deeds Of desperate yaor as Border ranger
and reckless "Indian fighter" made him as
famous in ri. day, as his later Modoc namesake
is in ours. by whatever name this singular and
mysterious character was then called, whether
Captain Jack" the "Black Hunter" the "Blaek
Rifle" or the "Wild Hunter Of the Juniata," he
was a scourge TO the reds, and tower Of great
strength to the whites, along the then border from
the Potomac to the Juniata.
In the new Historical novel called "Old Fort
Duquesne, or Captain Jack the Scout" just pub
lished in pit,sburg, by Charles Mcknight, Esq,
editor Of Peoples Monthly, this grim and redoubt-
able warrior figures as the hero, aud Braddock's 3
expedition and bloody battle the central points.
When the novel Tan through the pages Of the
Monthly, it gave great satisfaction for It's life
and spirit; its vivid portraiture Of characters
prominent at that exciting period-shi,e scouts,
red chiefs and famcss leaders, among whom were
Braddook and Washington.
We are in receipt Of this book and can assure
our readers that, without being at all what is
krown as "sensational," 1t is lire from cover to
cover, and teens with stirring scenes, desperate
struggles and daring personal adventure. At the
instance Of the Pittsburg press this spirited His
iorical Serial has been published in book form
and now makes an elegant work Of over five hun
dred pages, gotten up in the latest and most ap-
proved style Of book craft Solid, tinted paper,
bcvelcd boards, numerous illustrations and fine
English cloth covers, with beautiful designs in
gilt on back and sides. over thirty pages Of
carefully written historic notes have been added
to give the work more weight and authority, and
1t is believed to be historically correct.
"0ld Fort Duquesne" Is emphatically Penn
sylyania book, and the Pittsburg Chronicle says,
"is one Of the best Indian novels ever written,
and is bound to meet with wide and welcome
reception. The descriptive passages are erceed-
iagiy we'll written" The book Is sold only by
agents at 50 so, and bookmen say it is on honest
work at the price. Ladies or gentlemen who de-
sire quick selling book, that every pennsylya-
nian will be anxious to read, should write at once

DEATHS DoIHGs.-The "king OF
terrors" has again invaded the freside Of one Of
our Oldest and most respected friends. On octO-
Der sth, 1878, there expired, at her home in Law
renee township, Esther, wife Of Abraham Ogden,
aged 80 years, months and 10 days. Her hus-
band, two sons and four daugh,ets survive bcr.-
The deceased was daughter Of John Kline, one
of the first settlers Of bradford township, as her
husband is son Of one Of the first settlers 10 the
county. The parents Of both were well known to
the present generation Of grand fathers, and per
haps some Of the middle aged. The families on
both sides are largely connected in our county
and arc in fact representative families. "peace

THE RIVER TIME.

O. n wonderful stream is the River Time!
And il flows through the realm of Tears;
with iruitlcss rhythm and musical
rhyme,
And u broadening sweep and a surge sub
lime,
As il bends with the ocean Of years.
How the waters are drifting like flakes Of
snow!
And the summers like buds between;
And the ears and shcaVcS, how they come
and go,
On the rivers breast, with its cbb and flow,
As they glide in the shadow and sheen.
There's magic isle up the River of Time,
Where the soitest Of airs are playing;
There's Il clOudlcSs sky, and II topical CLINE,
And the June with the roses are staying,
And the haven ofthat isle is the "Iong Ago.
And we bury our treasures there;
There are brows OF beauty and bosoms of
SNOW
They are heaps of dust, but we loved them
There are trinkets and tresses of hair.
There are fragments of song that nobody
And part of an infants prayer;
There's u harp unswept, and II Lutte without
strings,
There are broken vows and pieces of rings,
And the garments she used 10 wear.
There are hands that are waved when that
fairy shore
BY the mirage is lifted in air,
Ana sometimes we hear, through the turbu-
lent roar,
sweet voices we've heard in the days gone
before,
When the wind down the River Is fair,
o, remembered for aye be that blessed Isle,
All the day of life till night;
And when evening comes with its beaulliul
smile ...t!
And our eyes are closed to slumber awhile,
May that greenwood of soul be In sight.
