First sentence: THE village now called the "Falls of Schuyl-kill" was one day a place of much notoriety, and there are many interesting facts of an historical nature connected with it, which few persons of this age are aware of; even its ancient name, "Fort St. Davids," which it bore for many years (about one hundred), seems to be entirely lost and forgotten.
