MEADTILLIi, Crawford county, Sept.
As the shiretown of one of the largest and
most valuable of the northwestern counties of
Pennsylvania; as the outlet of all the lower
portion of the oil regions; as the seat of educa
tional institutions long founded and widely
known ; and as the location of the main offices
and mechanical workshops of one of the most
extensive railroads Of the coun try, the town of
llleadville is deserving of having its pectiliari
ties and its main features set before the public
in the columns of the leading journal in Penn
eylvanhes leading city. Therefore it is, that
On this day of the month of agricultural fairs,
of Perry!s victory, and of late peaches, I
have resolved to tell those Of you who
h a ve never visited Crawford county, what
Meadville is, and how she came to
be so. For the brief historical resume that fol
lows I am partially indebted to an address
delivered in this place in February, 1818, by
Win. It. Davis, and partially to the recollee
lions of sundry of the "oldest inhabitants el
for the notes and comments upon Meadville
of io.dey, a fair eyesight, aided by a pair of
double convex glasses, is sufficient antheelty.
Crawford county, in its eastern portion,
bears evidence, in common with many other
portions of our land, of the residence and
pureeits of tt race of beings who preceded the
aboriginal savage. The chief of this evideece
is found in a large number of excavations in
the ground, similar to, the vats of a tan-yard,
not far distant from the village of Titusville,
end ripen the banks of Oil crock. These exca
vations are not simply holes in the &ennui,
but arc found to be regularly cased or walled
with logs, fitted as for the walls of a
lee-cabin, by having the ends squared and
dove-tailed together, That these were built
Iniedrede Of years ago, is shown by the
fact of trees growing, in some eases in
side the excavation, and in others upon
the mounds of earth thrown up at the sides,
which trees indicate a growth of two to three
hundred eeare. Another fact which indicates
the great length of time which must have
elapsed einee these vats were befit, is, that al
though the location is now covered with stand_
ingeltuber, there are no stumps remaining to
Fatale wile] e the enclosing logs were cut. In
connection with the recent wonderful devel
opments of oil upon Oil creek, it is interesting
to note that Mr. Davis, in hie address of eigh
teen years ago, argued. that these vats were
originally constructed for thOcollection of the
"Seneca which was then eelleete.d
be some of the residents upon the creek in
much the same manner, vats being dug in the
ground, the bottom of which would be covered
- with water, the oil being daily Skimmed from
the top of the water. Who knows how much
Of the oil fever, the greed for " territory," the
thirst for leases, the demand for "crude,"
of these oily days, may be but a re_
petition of what those mysterious and
dimly conceived old settlers went through
ages ago upon the self-same ground. Not all
the light from all the lamps which Oil creek
or Pit-hole can ell, can clear away the dark ob-
Seerity which envelops those grim 'visitants of
the past, whose works are their only record,
and who have left not a tablet or hieroglyphic
from which to transcribe their story.
Leaving, however, the dim and foggy dis
tance, and coming down to the tangible records
Of the last Century, we rind that the torte.
tory now occupied by Crawford county be
longed to the Seneca tribt of the Six Nations,
they having dispossessed the Fries. A little
lever one handled years ago—about 1750—the
French rirst made military occupation of this
region, having a military route from the Nia
gara to Fort Duquesne, at Pittsburg. et
Franklin, where French creek unites with the
Allegheny, was Venango Fort, and at Le Bmul;
(now Waterford, about twenty miles north
east from Meadville,) was a mileitry
post. French creek, or Yenango ricer,
Was used for boating communication
between these points, a small fortification
having been erected as a sort of half-way place
of deposit for goods, upon ground now
pied by Dock street in this place. There are
still faintly visible the remains of a canal or
trench from the creek to this enclosure, and,
few years ago, Hiram Richmond, Esq., then
a boy attending school, dug out of the bank of
the creek an old French musket.
It is a noticeable circumstance that the first
Anglo Saxon who is known to have ascended
French creek, and passed over the ground
where now-stands this flourishing town, was
George Washington, in his expedition as mes
senger from the Governor of the colony of
Virginia to the French commandant at La
„Ikeuf, to protest against the establishment of
aline of French forts from the Lakes to the
Ohio. Washington arrived at the mouth
of French creek in. December, 1753, and
thence proceeded to Le Bceaf, arriving
at the latter post on the 11th of that
month. In his journal of the expedition he
says : "We passed over much good land since
we left Venango, and through several eaten-
give and very rich meadows, one of which I
believe was nearly four miles in length, and
considerably wide in some places." This lat
ter tract must have been the site upon which
Meadville is built, as it will apply to no other
portion of the French Creek Vall;.ty, between
Waterford and Franklin.
The French were compelled to abandon the
Occupatior of this section in 1753, and from that
time until 1755 it remained in the hands of the
Indians alone. In that year surveying parties
'Were sent out by the State to survey and
divide the land which had been obtained by
treaty, that they might be apportioned among
the revolutionary soldiers from Pennsylvania.
Two years after this John and David Mead
visited this valley with a view to select a home
in the wilderness for their families. In May,
of the following year, 1785, they brought with
them seven other persons, the party of
nine constituting the first white aettlera in
Crawford county of whom we have any record-
One of these men—Thomas Grant—was the
first settler in what is now Meadville.
Grant, however, remained but a short time,
before he returned to the eastern portion of
the State. His claim was taken up by David
Diem', who ereeted the first house in Mead
ville, a dot/hie log house, which, from its
favorable location and strength of construc
tion, was for a long time used as a block-house
to protect the settlers from the attacks of
hostile Indians. In the fall of 1778 John and
David Mead brought their families from
Northumberland, these being the first families
located in Crawford county. Authorities dif
fer as to the first white child born in this
neighborhood, but the most reliable informa
tion seems to award that honor to Sarah,
daughter of David Mead. Other parties and
families came, from time to time, until quite
t settlement was established at the junction
of Cussewago creek with French creek.
These early settlers experienced great clan_
ger from the hostile Indians who surrounded
them. A few of these Indians became friendly
to the whites, and, in several instances, gave
them timely notice of intended attacks upon
the settlement. In such cases the women and
children yeah - the sent to Franklin hybonts
to the protection of the fort at that point.
Upon one of these occasions Flying Cloud, one
of the fast friends of the settlers, sent a guard
of six of his warriors upon each bank of the
stream, to guard the descending Canoes from
the savage foe. umerous stories are now told
of the perils and adventures of the hardy pio
neers in their endeavors to protect their
homes and their crops.
1n1791 quite a Tillage had grown up at Mead.
Dille, and a militia companyfor home defence
("home guards" was no humbug in those
days)iwas organized,with Cornelius Van Horne
for captain, a block-house being erected upon
What is Water street now, and upon the lot ad
joining the kagle Tavern. 2111SMOCK4101180 was
torn down in 1t 4 98. In August of this Year, one
James Dickson, a plucky Scotchman, who had
joined the settlement, was passing along
the right bank of French creek, above the
settlement, and, when near the site of the pre:,
sent residence of Wm. Reynolds, Esq., was
shot at by five Indians, who were concealed m
the bushes. Three balls struck him, but did
not entirely disable him. He stood his ground,
and called upon his cowardly assailants to
come out and give him fair fight. The noise
of the guns was heard at the block-house, and
a party started to his relief, 'before whom the
Indians retreated, and Dickson reached the
block-house without further harm. Taylor
Randolph, now living a short distance below
the town, was one of the party that sallied out
to the relief of Dickson. The last attack by
the Indians which resulted in the loss of life,
within the present limits of Crawford county,
was in June, 1751, when James Findlay- and
Barnabas McCormick were killed and scalped,
about six mlies below Meadville.
Of course. with the growih of the communi
ty legal coritc.mtions arose. David Mead was
the first justice of the peace in Crawford
county, and the first case that came before
him for trial was an action for debt, in which
be himself was pi:timid and one Randolph de
fendant. Unfortimateiy, although Crawford
county had a justice, it had no constable. But
Magistrate I.lrtid supplied the deficiency. He
issued the sunlit/ens and served it himself on
the defendant. He then tried the case, and
Efave judgment for plaintiff—that is, himself.
lie Dam Issued an execution and served it
himself, by levying on a horse of the de
fendant. lie then advertised the horse for
sale, stuck up the notices himself, and at the
day of sale sold the property and bought it
in himself, and then paid the surplus money,
over and above his claim, to defendant.
Doubtless, if She defendant had appealed from
this decision, Justice Mead would have tried
the case scam, and sustained the previous
decision. Not much chance for Jaundice vs.
Jaundice ii, Cho! court, surely.
The village of Meadville was laid out in 1751,
and Tillage lots sold. So mueirapace has al
most unwittingly been occupied with the
earlier history Or CraWfOrti countv,that it is
' best to deibr to another letter a sketch of the
development of the town from the hamlet of
Seventy 'yours ago to the bustling, thriving
Tillage whose size, business importance. and
population would abundantly justify it in
shedding its primitive village robes and don
ning the charter and habiliments of a city.

Mr Dana Sin: Tour favor of the 22d inst.
has Just come to hand, and in reply I would
state that I am in favor of the principles which
appear thus far to have governed President
Johnson with regard to the Southern States—
that is, to allow these States to decide who
shall and who shall not be entitled to the right
of suffrage. In a few words, lam in favor of
returning at the earliest practicable period to
a government of civil law. I belieye the true
interests of lithe country demand al more eco
nomical administration of affairs, and an effort
to reduce the national debt, the substitution
of civil for military courts, and a more careful
observance of the constitutional - rights of
States and individuals.
If these views are such as will be endorsed
by your convention, and if the convention
should nominate me for Secretary of State, I
shall accept the nomination. I am now at a
great distance from the scene of action, and
the only mail by which this communication
can reach you before the assembling of the
convention leaves here in a few hours.
With this brief statement I leave the matter
in your bands, knowing your friendly feelings
toward me, and being assured that you will be
governed in some degree at least by these
feelings. If the convention should not adopt
the platform you anticipate, I trust you will
not press my name.

A Rope-Walker Mobbed—An Exciting
Scene.
[From the Buffalo Courier, 12th.)
We had always supposed that the perilous
feats performed. by Ilarrie Leslie were of
themselves attended with all the danger ne
eess.ary to make them sensational enough for
the people ; - but by a very recent experience
of the daring funambulist in her Majesty's
g,0f.1;; do
to "IIOW that we are more liberal
in our notions of the thing than they are there.
On Friday afternoon last ilr. Leslie thought
he would delight the people of Baytield, 0. W.,
kai the Critud Trunk Railway, and, having
stretched his rope across the James, a distance
of GOO feet, he proceeded not only to perform
his customary feat of walking over it, but
also to astonish the natives with a display
of his acrobatic skill. At the time appointed
he and his bataaee pole started assess
the river together, and, upon rsaching the
centre of the rope, be enacted all that
was set down on the programme ; but,
upon nearing the opposite bank, he saw a
crowd of men, who were evidently excited,
and could hear them Say, " him, he's the
devil P 9 "Cut the P.olle. P 3 41 Pitt him down In
etc. Leslie continued to move along on his
rope, but before he could reach its terminus
the slender bridge was eat, and he was allowed
to fall a distance of nearly twenty-five feet.
In his descent he caught hold of a tree, and
thenee rolled down the embankment to the
water's edge. Finding that he was pursued
by the runians, he made his escape in the
woods, and, after travelling about a mile
and a half, he mana„led - to get a horse
and buggy, with which he reached Sea
forth. Here he procured assistance, and upon
returning to the vicinity of Daytlel(l, he
learned that a man named S. S. Skinner, who
Was acting as his agent, had been badly
heat en. and that about a dozen of the radians
lied been arrested. Upon going back to dea
fen he was again beset by some of the gang,
but the vigorous use of a loaded horse.whfo
made his progress comparatively easy, and he
escaped the second time. Ilarrie has dis-
I covered that Canada is a hard road to travel,
and he will probably avoid Daydeld and the
James sines hereafter.

A SINGHLATt CASE.—On. Monday last
Bernard Campbell, chief of police of the city
of Harrisburg, called upon Mayor Henry in
referenee to an interesting case of a young
lirl, seventeen years of age, who, on Sunday
ast, attempted to commit suicide by drown
ing herself in the Susquehanna ; river. river. The
girl, upon being taken before Mayor ROUM
fortt of Harrisburg,- related her adventures, •
stating, among other facts, (for Snell they have
proved to be that she was from this city,
where' she owns a valuable property, now in
the hands of a guardian, and that she had been
sent to Harrisburg by a brother who promised
t °follow in another train to meet her there. She
had been at the depot upon the arrival of the va
rious trains, for two or three dam but failed
to and the brother among the passengers.
Finally;.believing that she was the victim of
misplaced confidence, she resolved to droWn
her sorrow by drowning herself. With this
determination she attempted to terminate her
existence in the river, but was prevented,
from doing so. She however expressed an
intention to commit the fatal deed upon the
first opportunity presenting itself. Daring
the recital of her adventure the mayor dis
covered evidences Of an aberration of mind
on the part of the girl, but the manner in
which she told her story . convinced his honor
that she was quite intelligent, and had seen
better days. With a view to frustrate the de
signs of the unfortunate girl upon her life, as
well as to ascertain the truth of her statement,
and render her all possible aid, Mayor Roam
fort directed Mr. Campbell to take her in
charge and accompany her to this city. She
was provided with supper before starting, and
from the manner in which she despatched the
meal it is believed she was suffering from
hunger, having neither money or friends in
Harrisburg to relieve her wants.
On Sunday night, Officer Campbell and the
young woman arrived in this city.
Mayor Henry did everything -in his power
to assist Mr. Campbell in his search forinfor
mation, and the girl's statements were found
to be true. She is the owner of a fine mansion
on Carpenter street, and the property is under
the control of a guardian. It is believed' the
girl was sent to Harrisburg by parties inte
rested in getting rid of her, that they might
become possessed of the property themselves.
Illaror Henry is having the MatterthOTOllgh ,
ly investigated, and it Is thought that by- pro
per treatment the girl can soon be restored to
her right mind, and when she becomes of age
assume possession of the fine mansion, Of
which she is the sole owner.
Too much praise Mama DO given to Mayor
Iteumfort for. the interest taken by him in
this matter. Most officials would have been
disposed to treat the matter as of no conse
quence, and the poor girl would have been
driven to a state of incurable necessity, and
probably to the consummation of the terrible
deed which she was about to cot:urea When
discovered by the police, of Harrisburg.
PROBABLE HOMICIDE ONE BROTHER
STABS A.I,OTHER.—Louis Lueyus, aged twenty
three years, a German by birth, and a private
in the IE4 United States Artillery of regulars,
was admitted into the Pennsylvania Hospital,
last evening, abbut eight o'clock, suffering se
verely from a stab, said to have been inflicted
by his brother Charles. The wound was con
sidered mortal. The weapon used was a large
dirk or sheath knife, very sharp and pointed,
the blade being nearly eight inches long and
one and a quarter inches wide. The wound is
in the left side, just below the ribs. The blood
on the blade shows that it was plunged
into the body of the sufferer to the depth
of fipven inches. The wounded man has been
in the, United States service nearly five years.

faithful soldier. His term of service only had
a couple of months to run. He arrived in
this city between two and three weeks
since, on a thirty•days furlough. This docu

brother, Charles Lueyus, a jeweller by trade,
had several angry disputes on Tuesday re
specting a female that Louis bad visited seve
ral times. Last evening, the two brothers met
at their father's house, in the vicinity of Diil-
StYn and Callowhill streets, and the discussion
was renewed. It was spoken in the 6 erman lan
guage. The two brothers were finally quieted
down under the soothing effects of Rhine wine
and lager beer. There were two or three com
panions present, and dually the party started
on a walk, all difficulty, apparently, hay.

Callowhill street, near Third, it is alleged
that Charles suddenly prided out the dirk
knife and plunged it into Louis, as already
stated. The victim gave a groan and fell. The
terrified companions seized Charles, to pre- -
vent him doing any farther mischief. Police
officers arrived, and the perpetrator of the
horrid deed was taken into custody and locked
up in the Eleventh-ward station-house.

THE _POLICE.
[Before ?dr. Alderman Tlttermary.]
GRAND HAUL OP DISORDERLY CHARACTERS
About midnight on Tuesday a squad of the
second district police, under the command of
Sergeant Selby, made a descent upon a num
ber of houses located on Monroe, Shippen, and
Trout streets, all of which haTc the reputation
of being disreputable. = One hundred and
twenty-three persons were captured, whose
ages ranged from sixteen to fifty years. The
station-house being insufficient to hold so
many persons the hearing was commenced at
once, and the parties were bound over to keep
the peace. Twenty-seven of the number being
unable to procure hail were sent to prison.
Four of those arrested, named Benjamin Lib
by, aged 58 years; Caroline Single, aged 52;
dliam Kelly, aged 555 and Sarah Kubler,
