PRoF. a. l.. GUss is collecting material
from which TO write book relative TO the
early settlers of Juniata county. Already,
at this date, he has quite enough material
to make an interesting volume. He has in
his possession the first list of taxable
property holders, who lived within what are
now the limits of Juniata county. The list
was made in 1853. In the years 176i, l165
and l766 10 lists of taxable people were
taken. for the reason that in those years
the Indian again possessed the valleys of
Junlata county, and the white inhabitant
was a fugitive. In 1867 the second tax-list
was made. The territory of this county
was then comprehended in two townships,
Lack and Fermanagh, The list of taxable
people of the two townships in 1907 is an
interesting list, and reveals to a certainty
the progress the hardy pioneer had made in
the clearing of the forest The number of
acres of land cleared by each land-holder
was not large, but the livestock owned by
each proprietor was out of all proportion to
the acreage cleared. For example, We take
the possessions then of Alexander Robin
son, grandfather of John Robinson, Esq, of
Patterson, and great grandfather of Col. j.
/ X. Robinson, of Milford township, who ap-
pears on the tax-list of 1867, as the owner
of one hundred acres of land, five acres of
which were cleared, also two horses ,and
] nj
toned are located about three miles from
Mifiintown, in Milford township, and are
now owned by Z. S. DOty, Esq. The Scotch
Irishman, Alexander Robinson, must have
been one of the most vigorous settlers, for
few had more acres cleared than he.
A DISPATCH relative TO Senator John j.
Patterson, last Wednesday, says: Senator
Patterson has reason to believe that requi-
sitions for his arrest have been forwarded
from South Carolina to the Governor OF
MARYLAND and the Governor of Delaware
The object Of these acquisitions, if they
I have been sent, is to intercept the Senator
as he passes through on his way to Penn
sylvania. Mr.. Patterson, though not posi-
tive that these requisitions have been sent
north, has no desire to encounter one oi
them on his trip for pleasure and the restor
alton of his health. 1t happens that he car
not enter Pennsylvania from Washington
without passing through Maryland and Del
aware, or at least Maryland, without thu
trouble of taking very circuitous route
He is satisfied that he could not leave Wash
ington unobserved at any time of the day
or night, for the reason that he is the OBJ
iect of constant and tender solicitude OF
the part of detectives employed to devot,
their whole attention to him What he vii
do in the premises cannot at present bt
stated. He is mending gradually, anc
hopes soon TO begin his round Of visits Il
Pennsylvania.

We have received a copy of an extra
printed in colors, Of the Maryland Republican
published by Geo. Cotton, ESQ.,, at Annapolis
containing a-histery of the lives of the Sena-
tors and Representatives in the late Legisla-
ture. The mechanical work on this extra il
splendid, but either the proof-reader or author
OF the sketches has committed such errors as
were never before heard Of For instance, in
the life OF Montgomery Blair, the sketch makes
him member of Lincoln's cabinet in 1853 /;
1t says he spoke at Rochester, Maryland when
il should be Rockville; it says he offered res o.
Iutious to have Lincoln ousted from Office
when IL should be Hayes. We understand it
is TO 10 be published in book form, therefore
that the sketch may be correct these changes
should be made.
