INDIAN TOWNS OF MONTOUR AND NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTIES. [Through the courtesy of R. W. Escort, the veteran editor and printer of Danville, we are permitted to publish the following Indian history taken from his ancient scrap book:] Northumberland, Columbia ami Montour counties contained numerous Indian towns long before any white men saw this region of country. Let us, so far as we have been able to gather a knowledge of them, look at those that stood on the North Branch of the Su-quehanna river, between our present towns of Northumber land and Ne-copeck in Luzerne county, Nishmekknchlo —This town stood on the south side of Montour's Ridge, and somewhere about midway be tweeu our present towns of Norihum* ber'and and Danville -exaot spot un known to the writer of I his sketch. I am inclined to think it was the resid ence of Manawybickon, n distinguish ed Delaware Chief who ruled over the Indians of these parts before the great Shikt-llamy and Sassoonan Chiefs made their appearance at Shohomo kin or Shaumoking the old Indian town on the present site of Hunburv, since our old writer infonns us that Manauvhickoll lived somewhere on the North Hi audi, not far fiom Shau mokiiig. Mahoning.—This town stood near mouth of Mahoning creek, on its west side, a little l elow where the public bridge cro-ses the said creek, and about a mile below the present town of Danville, in Montour county. Montour Ridge, a pretty high and beautifully formed elevation of earth, run- northeastward from a point near Northumberland, but leaves a nice valley of beautiful land between its base and the North Branch of the Susquehanna river. This valley, as we approach Danville from Northum berland, gets narrower until it ends in what is called "The Narrows"— grounds just wide enough for the public road to pass conveniently a'ong the foot of the ridge. It was at the eastern end of these narrows where the Indian town of Mahoning stood. Montour Ridge at. this point presents to the eye of the beholder a high, bold and imposing appearance, and becomes more and more so until just on the north side of Danville it tetinitiates very suddenly, with a liiirli, wall like face towards the east, and then sweeping sharply around It runs north for several miles with the same high wall-like face on tho west side of the small and narrow, but hex ti tif it I valley of Mahoning and its creek of the same name. Every traveler who visits Danville looks with admiration upon this high, bluffy and picturesque termination of Montour Ridge and is dolighted with the rich anil beautiful dark green j fdiageof its thickly grown evergieen, pine and spruce trees that crown its top and sides, (excepting a cleared or bare spoi just north of Danville) and towards the c ose of every sunny day throw a dark, lieh shade over the snug little val ey at its base. Its j scenery looks wild and romantic even lu our day, but must have I eeu far J wilder and grander when the Indians 1 roamed over the ridge in tho pursuit of wild turkey's and deer or speared the fish that sported in the waters olose by. Montour Ridge at Danville looks as if Noah's deluge or some other great commotion of our earth's waters had burst a passage way through the ridge at this point, and so made this valley, tor the t idgc itself quickly re appears again with n sloping Uut nearly an equally elevatedl#ee oil the east sjdp qr Danville, and then runs o.ii the eastward to and beyond the U>wn of Bloomsburg, iu Columbia county, where it gradually slopes <town and disappears. Mahoning iv»«, therefore, a choice spot for an Indian town and a town"of moie than com mon note among the Indians. Toby Town.—This town, so Called afler a large and powerful Indian by the name of Toby, slood on "Toby Run," a liltlu above the Insane Asy lum, about two miles above Danville. But uheiher it stood 011 the banks of the Susquehanna river near the mouth of Toby Hun, 01° on top of the high ridge of earth there along the river, lam not able to pay. I passed along there in my boyhood days on my road to and front Heading, and heard various stories about Toby ami his town, but 1 can give no satisfac tory account of them. "Classawango."—This town slood still farther up the river, but on the ■outh side, and about half way bo ween Danville and the town of Cata wissa, but I cannot state where it slood. Who can? "Catawissa."—This town stood at the mouth of Catawissa creek, where the town of Catawissa, in Columbia county, now stands. This is evident, from the fact that many Indian arrow heads, Hint stones, smoke pipes, &c , have been p owed up there, and some ate still touud in the fields around the town. The mountains along whose sides the Catawissa railroad now runs, must have formed tine hunting grounds for the Indians. "Oskohary."—Oskohary stood still farther up the North Branch ot the Susquehanna river, somowhere this side of the old ludiau town of Nishi. beckon, now the town of Nescopeck, in Luzerne county, but I am unable to tix the site of Oskohary- Who c«n do that P—[Dr.-MacCrea, of Berwick, thinks the beautiful and romantic valley at the month of the Briar creek, was the locality of the Indian town known as Oskohary ] This sketch of Nishmeckkachlo. Mahoning. Toby Town, C lassawango, Catnwissa ami Oskohary, is imperfect In many respect*, and I have writU n it just to draw attention to these old Indian towns, and get some of our citizens to give us what traditional accounts they have had as to the exact sports where said towns stood, and what Indian tribe or tribes dwelt there, and what were the names of their Chiefs, and also what the names of these Indian towns signify, since Indian names of things always had some peculiar meaning, just as the jtnvisb names of olden times bad among the Jews, as we learn fioni the Bible. And so I, in common with others, would be pleased to sec our newspaper editors publi-h this sketch, and add to it such fragmentary In formation as they aro able to gather up concerning these ancient habita tions of the red men on the North Brunch of the Susquehanna river. There certainly must be some tradi tional accounts still existing in and around each of these neighborhoods, as it regards the said towns, and that, whatever it way bo, would bo very interesting in fixing the exact spots where they btood, and the like. My father lived in Northumberland when 1 WHS a boy, and often took me along up to Danville in a sulky or buggy, to see HII uncle of mine, who then resided on a farm on tbe banks of tbo rivor above Danville, and in passing up and down between these towns, I often beard from my father and other persons interesting stories about th» Indians who once lived along Montour Ridge, but 1 am un able 10 recall any particulars worthy of note, and so I must nov. leave my aketch to bi- corrected and completed by others who have better knowledge of these matters than I havo. But I uannot close my remarks without . Baking the reader to look at Mid kd rrire til** beauty of our Indian name.®, we have no words in any of our .atigimges- Greek, Latin, Kngli>li or German Ibat are more beautiful ihan Nishiuekkaehlo, .Mahoning, Clasa wango. (Jul aw is a and U>ko) ai y. And < ur Indians acquired the know ledge of nil these significant words without lite use <»f bi.oks, neademies or colleges. What do our literati in th s boastful of schools think of that? How does it harmonize wi h their theories that we must have books and schools to learn 'angua ges? J F. WOLFING BB.
