Tradition relates that an animated
contest took place between the late
Gen. Adam Stephen and Jacob Hite,
Esq, in relation to fixing the seat Of
justice for this county Hite contend
ing for the location thereof on his own
land, at what is now called Leetown,
in the county of Jefferson, and Steph-
en- advocating Martinsburg. Stephen
prevailed ard Hite became so disgust
ed and dissatisfied that he sold out
his fine estate and removed TO the
frontier of South Carolina. He had
not been long settled in that State be-
fore the Indians murdered him and
several Of his family in the most shock
ing and barbarous manner. 1t is said
that the evening before the bloody
massacre took place an Indian squaw
who was much attached to Mrs. Hite
called on her and warned her Of the
intended massacre and advised her to
remove with her children to a place
of safety. Mrs Hite Immediately
communicated this intelligence to her
husband, who disbelieved the informa-
ton, observing that the Indians were
too much attached to him to do him
any injury. The next morning when
it wa too late TO escape party Of
Indians armed and painted in their
usual war dress called on Hite and
told him they had determined to kill
him. It was in vain that be pleaded
his friendship for them, and the many
services he had rendered their nation;
their fell purpose was fixed and moth
ing could appease them but his blood,
and that of his innocent, inofending
and helpless wife and children. They
commenced their operations BY the
most cruel tortures upon Mr.. Hite,
cutting him to pieces joint at a

Edison's First Check.

When Tom Edison completed his
model of the now famous ticker" he
submitted it to the president Of a tele-
graph company, who asked him to
leave it for examination. Edison was
out Of money, and his landlady had
warned him for the last time. He
had decided to ask $1,000 for his IN
vention, says the New York Press, but
when the president at the next inter-
view asked his price his courage oozed
away, and he faltered out that ne
would like the company to make an
offer.
"How would $4,000 suit you ="
said the president.
What" exclaimed the young wiz
ard, "all in money ?"
Certainly; you can have it now.
"All right.
The check was drawn and handed
over to Edison with these words !:
THAT is a check for $4,000 Go to
the bank around the corner and they
will Civ. you the money"
At the bauk he got INTO the long
line and worked up to the paying
tellers window. Then he pushed the
check over the sill. The teller saw
that it was not endorsed, and pushed
it back with fitting remarks, which
Edison did not understand, he being
ever slightly deaf. He retired crest
fallen, and the thought dawned upon
him that he had been been swindled.
He had another scene with his land
lady that night and visited the tele-
graph president the next morning in
sheer desperation. He told Of his ex-
psrience at the bank and begged for
his money or his model. He was
properly identified st the bank, in
dorsed the check, and got his money
in big bills.

At the mouth of Antietam, small
creek on"the Maryland side of the
river, most bloody affair took place,
between parties of the Catawba and
Delaware tribes. This was probably
about the year 1886. The Delawares
had penetrated pretty far to the south,
committed some acts of outrage on the
Catawbas, and on their retreat were
overtaken at the mouth of this creek,
when a desperate conflict ensued.
Every man of the Delaware party was
put to death, with the exception of
one who escaped after the battle was
over, and every Catawba held up a
scalp but one. This was a disgrace
not to be borne; and he instantly
gave chase to the fugitive, overlook
him at the Susquehanna river "a dis
tance little short of one hundred
miles,) killed and scalped him, and
returning, showed his scalp to several
white people, and exulted in what be
had done.

Cohongoruton is the ancient Indian
name of the Potomac, from its june
ton with the river Shenandoah to the
Allegheny mountain. Lord Fairfax
in his grants for land on this water
course, designated it Potomac by
which means it gradually lost its an
cient name, and now is generally
known by no other name. Major Il.
Bedinger writes the name Of this river
Cahongoluta. 1t is, however, written
in the act laying off the county OF
Frederick in 1876 Cohongoruton.
