REVOLUTIONARY DAYS IN CUM
BERLAND COUNTY.

Adjutant- General Stryker has presented
us with handsomely bound copy of the
ssMinutes of the Provincial Congress and
Council of Safety" of New Jersey, 1775-
1776. The volume is exceedingly interest
ing, and full of curious items connected with
the days preceding the Revolution.
The following from page "a of this valua-
BILE book, is an account of the proceedings of
the Cumberland County Committee con-
cerning the obstinacy of Silas Newcomb,
who would persist in drinking East India
tea in violation of an article of the Associa-
tion of the American Congress. In these
early days of the Revolutionary struggle
every man was compelled to take stand
against the edicts of Royalty. Newcomb
was as patriotic as any of his neighbors but
he liked tea, and thought he must have it,
Later on it will noticed that he Ienounced
the favorite beverage and asked pardon Of
the committee. Silas Newcomb was gen.
uine patriot, and was afterward Colonel in
command of the battalion of the counties of
Burlington, Gloucester, Salem and Cumber-
land, which did good service during the
long and trying struggle for American indie
pendence:-
CUMBERLAND COUNTY COMMITTEE
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, N j., March 6, 1775.
The Committee of the County of Cum
berland, in New Jersey, met at Brdgetown;
and after reading the Association of the
American Congress, it appeared by the vol
untary declaration of Silas Newcomb, Es-
ouire, Member of the Committee, that he
had contravened the same, and in open vio-
lation of the Third Article of the aforesaid
Association had drank East India Tea in his
family ever since the first day of March in
slant, and that he is determined to persist
in the same practice. After much time
spent in vain to convince Mr.. Newcomb of
his errour it was agreed that it is the duty of
this Committee agreeable to the Eleventh
Article of the above mentioned compact to
break off all dealings with him and in this
manner publish the truth of the case, that
he may be distinguished from the friends of
American liberty.
By order of the Committee.

Governors of Pennsylvania.


The following sketch with regard to the
Governors of Pennsylvania, has been COM
piled by j. Smith Futhey, Esq, Chester
County's Historian, a gentleman of marked
ability and member of the Chester county
bar. He says:
As the people Of Pennsylvania have just
passed through an exciting gubernatorial
campaign, some statistics in relation to those
who have filled the office of Governor may
not be without interest.
Since the adoption of the Constitution Of
1890, making the Office elective, Pennsylva-
mia has bad seventeen Governors. Of these,
three served nine years each, and eight
served three years each. They we're all ma
tives of the state, three of them having been
born in BAks county, three in Montgomery,
two in Centre, tao in tWestmoreland, and
one in each of the counties of Philadelphia,
Chester Lancaster, Cumberland, Franklin,
Northampton and Northumberland. Two
we're of English Quaker descent, seven Of
Scotch Irish and eight OF German. Those
of English descent were Thomas Mifflin and
William f. Packer Those of Scotch Irish
descent we're Thos. Mexican, William Find
ley, DaviS B. Porter, William F. Johnston,
John w. Gesry, and those of German de-
scent were Simon Snyder, Joseph Heister,
John Andrew Shsize. George Wolf, Joseph
Bitner, Fraocis Rr Skunk, William BigleT
| and John f. Hartrank. Those of Scotch
Irish lineage served collectively thiriy-six
years, and those of German thirty
| pears.
Four were taken from the mercantile
ranks, seven were lawyers. two were farmers,
/ Two were printers, one was an iron master,
and one a civil engineer.
Joseph Hester was the Oldest person who
filled the Office, being sixty eight years of
age at tae time of his election, and William
Bigler was the youngest being only thirty
eight, when elected.
Thomas Mexican, the second Governor,
was born in, New London (now Franklin)
township, Chester county, ia l734, was
member of the Declaration of Independence
was Chief Justice from LIT to l779, and
Governor from l779 to 1908. He died in
1917 at the age of eighty-three years.
Henry NJ. Hoyt, the Governor elect, is q
native of Luzerne county, where he was
born June Stb, 1880, and he is therefore now
in his 49th year. His ancestors came from
Connecticut, and we're among those who ear
ly settled in the Wyoming valley. He will
be the eighteenth Governor of Pennsylva.
mia since the adoption of the Constitution
of 1880.

To be Exhumed.

The remains of Francis: Xavier, the Ro-
man Catholic Apostle of India, will be ex.
humed sometime in 1879 and inspected It
has remained in its mausoleum since 1859,
when it was looked at The occasion prom.
ises to draw one Of the greatest sssemblages
ever seen there. At the periodical celebra-
ton all the Catholic Bishops In India will
be present, besides several from Europe, who
will take advantage Of the Suez Canal, now
first available for the pilgrimage. A gen.
temsn, not Catholic, who visited the ca.
thedrsl when the body was exhumed In
1859, thus describes It 4 found the body
in its massive silver coffin, inlaid with the
richest embroidery, open in glass case ly-
ing at the foot OF the altar. The front Of
the case, forming the door composed of one
solid piece Of glass, was unlocked with
key, brought, firmly fastened around his
wrist by gold chain, by the aide-de-camp.
The coffin was drawn out on truckles, and ]
knelt by the side for closer view. 1t rep.
represented man of about forty years,
rather under than over the medium height,
on a most perfect state of preservation. The
frame was that of a slightly built man, and
the oountenance had the appearance of no.
ly calm and peace. Ia fact it wore an ex-
preston of unutterable love which was fas-
cinating remarked that slightly dark
ened spot appeared under the left eye, and
this was told had appeared since the pre-.
vious inspection some twenty years before,
and was supposed to be occasioned by
blow received by the apostle at the time Of
his murder

A Slight Mistake.

A poor man and his wife lived in the
North of Ireland on a bit of farm so small
that it did not afford them living. and they
ran behind on the rent. They felt very un-
easy and respondent about the debt. One
Sabbath morning the wife declared her in
tention of going to meeting. Perhaps the
minister would have word OF comfort for
her. But she came home more cast down
than ever.
What's the matter? Had the minister
no good word for ye to-day p asked the hus-
band.
'Ah, no, replied she. He held me up to
shame before the whole congregation. What
do ye think he took for his text,man Why
this If ye don't pay the rent, ye shall all
leave the parish 7
Where's no such text in the Bible said
| the husbnd
''Deed then, there is | l saw him read it
out of the book with my own two eyes,
TIE husband was incredulous, and took
the first opportunity to ask one Ct his
naighbors, who had been to the service about
| the matter.
'Will We tell me what the minister took
for his text the Sabbath morn I? said he.

The Gentle South Wind.

Now, Walter Harrison Ames, you ge
my seat and / want to sit there : and little
Miss Rose-who looked more like snap
dragon just then--tried to shake her sturdy
brother who had very cool way of pretend
ing not to hear when he did not mean to heed,
sud who sat as calmly looking out of the
window as if only fly were attempting to
move him.
Papa was reading in the other window,
but he seemed to know exactly what was 60
ing on; and so he called the little snap
dragon-though he did not use that name
to come to him, as he had story to tell
her.
A story was delight and so the little
changeable flower almost rose again
went instantly and seated herself on bench
at his feet.
This morning, Rose / met disagreeable
north wind, and it snapped and snarled in
every sp teful way. 1t began by trying to
iniure the trees and bleak off the branches
but the branches were tSo strong for it, and
would not give way. Thea it rushed at me
and blew my coat as hard rs it could, and
said iu a gruff tone, as plain ss wind could
talk Take off your oatquickigi Iwon'
wait But laughed at the idea of obeyinl
such command rs that and so bnttened uE
my coat AS tight as could, and the north
wind tusged aud tugged in vain.
| In the afternoon, as | came home, th'
south wind met me; such sweet manners a.
it had 1t came and kissed me first. anC
then said so gently as it played with m,
hair and patted my cheek. Open your coat
please open your coat ! opened it righ
away, every single button, for l was glad b
get all the south wind that | could, and
is doing me good yet. Which is my littl
girl-the stormy north wind, or the sum
south?
| The sunny south, papa answered littl
Rose cheerily, as she went to brother Waite
and kissed and petted him and said. pleas
let me have that chair, Walter dear?'
4 Brother Walter did not say one word, bl
he whisked out of the chair in secOn,
caught the little south wind up, clspped h,
in the chair, gave her two kisses and scan
pered off to play.
