savage blows IN malice. This historic
mansion was the scene OF great activi
ty during the life of Sir William anc
the center of an influence which large
ly shaped the destnes of the United
Colonies
Sir William is buried in St. Johns
Episcopal church yard, where small
marble slab covers his grave. 1t bears
this inscription: "Sr William Johnson,
Bart 17I5-I774. He was a British
general and colonial officer and was
born in Ireland. His uncle, Admiral
Warren, received large land estate
from his wife, and gave Sir William
the management of it. That is how
he got there. Those who want to
know all he did there must get an en-
clopedla and find out. 1t is too
much for us to tell from memory Just
now.
Johnstown is a beautiful place OF
over 1900 inhabitants. 1t has fine
business blocks, beautiful homes,
some well-paved streets, and a city
government. The chief industry is
the preparing of skins Tor glove max
ing, and the manufacture of gloves.
1t was our privilege to go through
one establishment, not a very big one
either, and the Superintendent in
formed us that they handled about
zoe, 900 skins year They use elk,
deer, yak, and most every kind of
hides, most of which are imported
from South Africa, Brazil, Mexico,
and other points. There are about
80 such skin mills in Johnstown and
Gloversvil'e, the adjoining town.
Most Of the skins are made into
gloves right there.
Our visit was made very pleasant
by having in our company B. Rush
Thomson, Esq, of Dushore, one of
the leading attorneys of Sullivan
County, and by meeting a resident of
Johnstown who formerly resided at
Dushore, Hon. B. Rush Jackson. Mr..
Jackson was at one time a promlnen.
and prosperous merchant, and repre-
sented Sullivan County in the legls-
lature some years ago. 1t was through
his courtesy that we were shown the
many points of interest, and to him
we are indebted for very pleasant
visit In Johnstown.
