A Story of Old John Riley.

Among the death notices in our last
mos that Of an aged lady, Mrs. Barbara
I;obfried, who had died in Easton, at the
Iasi5ence of her son in law; Val. Hiburn,
Tso The death Of this aged parsonage
mos 70 our recollection story which
lave often heard from the lips of enc
" ber relatives and which will prove in
.a-ostins to many of our readers the
t,,ber of the deceased was Henry Mar
s'sIIer who resided in Upper Mount
RstheI township, and died iu a house,
,hs traces of which may still be seen with
n hundred yards of the site of the old
p.opd's school house Mr. Marstelar and
,ho notorious Blue Mountain hunter.
Jobn Riley, were deadly enemies, the
later charging Marstellar with having
.Iosed his (Riley's) gun by sorcery. This
,bo hunter held was u crime ranking with
nnrder aud lie took every occasion that
ngered to denounce his neighbor as a
murderer. In 1901 Henry Marstellar
EbiIe attempting to leap upon a raft in
tbs Delaware, jumped short of the mark
ond fell into the stream. From this i'm
mersion he took severe cold and finally
cortracted fever which caused his death
He died on Sunday afternoon at one
o'clock, 10 the presence of Belvidere
MUSICIAN. When Riley heard of his
ttesth aud was sure of the hour of his de
oorture he invented the story that ex-
5lctlv upon that inmate be had shot into
the stump of white oak tree at Tots
Gan. accompanying the shot which such
"bexarei" as to kill his enemy This
story Riley delighted to repeat, taking
unon himself credit for having killed
Marstelar While no one would believe
sucb a ridiculous tale at this day, yet
seventy years ago there were many who
rave it credit. The boldness of Riley
his bravado and we'll attested recklessness,
coupled with the belief that he was able
10 do what he claimed, made him an OBJ
iect of fear and dread to all who crossed
his path. Riley has followed Marstellar
TO the grave and now the daughter of the
latter is uumbered among the gone at an
extreme old age. La few years more
the once famous hunter will be among
the uunumbered millions that are forgot
ten, and the deeds Of his life, which su
per,titious hearers believed to have frmer
ground than his fancy, will have passed
ont of recollection Even now there but
very few alive who remember old John

CHARTER PERPETUAL.

The Bylaws of this Company, and the
regulations governing insurance have, re-
Gently been very materially changed, pla-
cling it upon basis equal to that of any
Fire Insurance Company in the State.
Important among these changes are the
following. viz:
Policies, instead of beng perpetual, are
issued for five years.
All property is classified and tue rate of
premium is fixed according to the risk of
the property.
Premium noies are taken, and all as
sessments are made on the notes.
Property is insured for not more than
two thirds Of its actual cash value, and the
full amount of insurance paid in case of loss,
provided the loss be equal TO the amount of
insurance.
annual assessments" only are made. ex-
rept in cases of heavy loss, and where a
special assessment is necessary.
The Company is therefore prepared TO in
sure property upon terms much more desira-
bic than under the old system.
Applications may be made to any of the
Managers, Surveyors, or Secretary.
