JUST A BIT OF HISTORY.

The Davis Hollow cemetery at Rom ford is known as the resting place of our forefathers away back when bears and wolves were the principal con- panions, about 15O years ago. The red man roamed about, among the end less forests. Decendants of the Davis family still exist. F. J. Kingsbury and daughter visited the old cemetery, last week, being decendants of the original Davis family. They went down to the Green to view the original Episcopal church, which was moved from here. It is generally believed that this place should have retained it's original name, which was changed to Romford when the railroad was built.

Among the treasures of the Philadei-

This was the court conducted by the
Swedes. Dutch and English previous to
the granting Of The state to Penn ana
nrevious to its being named Pennsylva-
mia. The record is quaint One entry 10
of "Jan Cornellisen Of Amesland, COM
planning to We court that his son Elk
IS bereft of his NATURAL sences ana Is
turned quyt madd;" whereupon II was
ordered that "three or persons bee
hired to build n little Blockhouse az
Amesland for to put in the sd. mad
man." In the suit Of Andres lnckhoor-
en- against Constable Andres Homman
it appears from the record that:
"The Pit. complains that this Deft.
hath pulled him by the Beard and
twisted his neck, and desires to know
ye reason"
On Oct. 16, 1850, Claes Clam winning
an action for Islander against Hans Pc

terss was that:
'sThe Deft. not being able to prove
what he hath said or any part thereof,
