History of Columbia County.
number nr.
Tho territory originally comnosiiiL' Coluni-
Li.t county was of considerable extent. It
comprised all that portion of Northuinher-
and county which lay west of tho North
Branch, except tho singlo township of l'oint.
Within its first described limits were threo
townships now in Schuylkill county, tho
wholo of Montour, and thp townships of
Cliillisqiiarjuc, Turbot, Lewis and Delaware,
now in Northumberland county. All this,
its caii.-o and history will be moro particular-
y lefencil to and given ncieaftcr; but it be
comes necessary to stalo the luct here', be-cau.-o
iu giving somewhat of tho revolution
ary hi"tory of tho county, it Is proposed to
includo slieii'hes of all the forts and military
stations within its original boundaries,
It had at least ten Mich forts or military
tations within its holders, named and loca
ted s follows !
Beginning on tho North Brunch, wo havo
Fort Jenkins," located on Jacob Dill's
farm, near Briarcreek "Fort Wheeler," on
Fishing creek, about threo wiles above its
mouth "McOlure's Fort," located just
where stands tho present rosldenco of Mr.
Douglas Hughes "Fort Rico", on tho head
waters of ChilliMpiarjua creek, about thirteen
miles from Sunbury "Montgomery's Fort,"
tvvelvo miles below Muncy, on tho West
Bmiieh-"Basley'rt Mills," on tho Chillis
ipinquo, and supposed to bo vvhero tho bor
ough of Washingtoiivillo now stamU "Free
land's Foit," on tho Warrior Run, between
four and five miles above its mouth "Boon's
Mill," said to ho about seven miles from
Fort Frccland, 011 Muddy Rim,
Bosi.nv's Mills seems to havo been but a
temporary military station, stockaded, and
held by tho nelghliorhood militia. Tho ear

tho fovv. mon ttmler his command, "fit Bos
toy's Mills on Cliilllrjiirtftie," The letter
iilentlolis that tho muster roll of Capt, Kim
ptln is enclosed, but it has not been preserv
ed. It would bb now a most interesting doc
ument, Under date of November 27, 17711,
Col, ..Hunter recommends rebuilding Fort
Muncy ami putting in a garrison of one hun
dred men, twcuty-liVo men at Fort Jrnklns,
and "a sorjent's guard at itosley's Mills on
Clillli.sipmke." At thU time Capt Kcmplcn
was stationed at Mlneger'.s place On the
VY.it Br.tuclb about evonteoli miles from
Sunbury, Lieut. Oil. Woltner, under date
of Northumberland, April tl, 1 780, ?aysi "I
have manned threo material outposts, viz :
Fort Jenkins, Fort Montgomery, and Bos
ley's Mills." Wo hear nothing nibro tf Boh
lpy's Mill, but it would seem that tho post
was maintained throughout tho Indian hos
tilities. Of Capt. Keuiplin, who appears to
h.ivi' been a good and active ofllcer, I have
no farther information. Ho was reported
killed at the capture of Fort Freeland, but
his namo.does not appear in the list.
Fokt Mu.vrdOMEltY was twelve miles, be
low Fort .Muncy, and about two mile from
Bgsley's Mill, and in November, 1770y thero
wore forty men stationed there. Tlicilo was
also a detachment thero in April, 1780. Al
ter Hint dale I do not ibid it mentioned.
Four MliNl.s'onu, tho place at which
Capt. Kcmpleii was stationed in November,
1770, is reported to havo been at the mouth
of Warrior's Run. Nothing further Lccins
to bo known of its history.
Fort Schwautz was located about ono
niito abovo Milton but nothing further 01
its history has yet come to my knowledge.
It is, howovcr, mentioned lu a letter from
Gen. Potter to President Reed, under date
of Sept. 18, 1780, as Fort Swartz, and also
by Col. Hunter, under tho same name.
Four Bici: is stated by Col. Sam Hunter
to havo been erected by Col.Wcltner's troops
011 tho head waters of ChillNquako about
thirteen miles from Sunbury. It was attack
ed about tho Clh or September, 17S0, by 300
Indians, who wcro repulsed by the 20 men
by whom the fort was manned. Gen. Totter
coming to Sunbury at this time, took com
mand of tho volunteers and militia and pur
sued tho enemy. He marched on to Mun
cy hills, but did not find tho routo till tho
13th, and then followed on across tho coun
try, up Fishing creak, and to nearly opposite
Wyoming, where, tho General writes, the
enemy were found to be so far ahead as to
mako it useless to follow them. At tho
samo time, he writes, that another band
"crossed tho Moncey bill near one Evcso.s
and went up tho Moncey creek." Iu this
attack on Fort Rico tho houses and grain
stacks near werb all destroyed. I do not find
it mentioned afterward, except incidentally.
Boonu's Four was located about two
miles above Milton on Muddy Run, and was
about seven miles from Fort Frcelaiid. Tho
fort at Muncy having been evacuated, tho
Indians made an incursion in July, 177i),
and on tho 3d killed three men and took two
prisoners at Lycoming, on the 8th burned
the Widow Smith's mill, on the 17th burned
Starret's mill and nil tho principal houses in
Muncy township, on tho 20th killed three
men at Freehold's Fort and took two pris
oners. Col. Hunter writes that unless suc
cor an ives the forts at Ficelaud's and Boon's
cannot stand long, but that he has never seen
tho peoplo behave m ire spiritedly. At tli.it
timo every thing above Muncy Hill was
abandoned on tho 2i!th of July, a largo
parly of British and Indians attacked Fort
Freeland. Tho firing was heard at Boon's,
and Capt. Boon and Capt. Kcmplcn marched
oil' with 31 men to reinforce the fort at Freo
l.ind's. lieforc they arrived it had surrou
doivd, and a detachment met tho company
under Capt. Iioone at a iittlo distanco from
the fort, attacked and cut them to pieces. It
is iclatcd;thatthc enemy wore within the fort,
tho women and children being ouUddo and
unguarded, and dpt. Boouo thus fell into
Ihn stiaro supposing nothing wiong. Tho
women made bigns to him to retire, but it
was too late. Though surprised, tho thirty
four men fought desperately, and Col, Mc
Donald, tho British commander, long after
spoko of Capt. Boouo and his heroic bravery.
Tho following aro tho names of tho killed
belonging lo Capt. Boone's party;

Capt. S. Dougherty, Samuel Neel,
J. McGlaghlen,
M. W. McClintock,

Nothing further appears relative to this
outpost, though it was doubtless maintained
ts.'siieh so longas danger from roaming bands
of Indians made Mich points of refuge ncc-

Miscellaneous.
TI10 I'iitaconibs of Paris.
Giaco Greenwood writes from Paris to tho
Now York 7;im : Our party entered tho
catacombs at the old Jlorrltrr tl' Eufer, an
cntMiico that seems a little like a lovcrso of
proceedings. At this point each visitor,
after being provided with a candle, descends
neary a hundred stops of a dark winding
stairway to a passage, damp, audofcourso
utterly dark, From hcrcwo walked through
a perfect labyrinth of other narrow pass
ages, nil doubly somber from the heavy
coating of candle smoke on tho rock over
head, walked for nearly half an hour before
coining to tho great depository of bones.
On each side, all the way through tho old
quairics, opened other arched passages, lead
ing oil into awful distauto and darkness
ways barred by chains or marked "danger
ous. Wo passed caverns like ' iititts ' 111
mines, and once wo camo upon a railing sur
rounding a pit whoso gloomy depths wo
vainly sought to sound with the trembling
light of our candles, To thoso iu tho rear
the ellcct of tho long lino of lights flicker
ing, waving, passing in and out tho dark
arches, winding and doubling was some
thing strangely weird find awful, All, I am
sure, except thoso bravo young Frenchmen,
who kept up .their courago with cat-calls and
fcock crowing, felt oppressed by tho very
darkness and sitenco which wo wcro so bold-
y invading. For our part, vv'o wcro inclined
0 speak low, and to watch anxiously each
her bit of caudle, for no fiicndly echoes of
pur voices camo back from tho gloomy
passages, only a dull, winning roar ; and the
heavy night, beaten back for a littio space
by our tapeis, seemed about to ruh upon
and oVcr-vvhclni them and us, Surely thero
Ih a' dlflerenco bctweon tho darkmvi of over
so somber a spot, which at somo tlmohas
known d.iylight, and (hat of a placo which
no ray of suushluo han ovir reached. Tho
darkness here wtp of the kind whleli "can
ho felt," something menacing-, sullen, almost
s.ivago a hopeless, blind night which never
dreamed of tho day, So sober nnd solitary,
so unearthly, though earthly, was all this
weary, winding way, bordered will) gloom
and mystery, that it was n positive relief
when wo reAchod the great ossnnry. Here,
at leat, wcro the representatives tij" what
hnd onco been lifer for in these long, wide
galleries, theso subterranean" streets and
courts aro gathered the bones; of 3,j00,000
human being.stho yellow harvest of time,
of pestilence, nml of revolution. In these
dismal rWiou stand silent at last the actors
of many a fearful tragedy of French history;
but out of thoso eyeless sockets starts such
a strange look of watching nnd waiting ami
fellowship that It almost seems ns though
they arc ready to rush back on tho stormy
scene, and lako up again the roles of tho
conspirator sind the revolutionist. This
gigantic Golgotha, this mighty magazine or
death, is arranged with frightful regularity
and system,, It seems to md that il forms a
tort of ghastly complement to the city over
head. Tlie great parages are named nfler
tho streets and boulevards whole conrsp they
followed, ami HUggoU, by the frlnlrasts of
stillnrss,darkncss and Immutability, the up
roar, tho brightness mid tho rush (if the
busy day above. They suggest, with more
overpowering force, tho great, dead mystery
of. death which forever underlies our life.
Here, beneath beautiful churches, fragrant
incense, gorgeous with pictures and marbles,
beneath altars bright witli tapers and gleam
ing with golden vessels and crucifixes, are
chapcl-liko chambers, cut in the rock,
whoseair is heavy with the odor of mortality
whoio ceilings aro darkly frescoed with
smoke, on whoso rough columtn aro solemn
inscriptions in black lettering, whose walls
.bear crosses of skulls set in mosaics of bones
There is even shown here a singular col
lection arranged by a celebrated surgeon, of
diseased bones a sort of osseous hospital.
Tho catacombs wcro consecrated as a btirial
plaeo before tho first revolution, but the
bones brought, from tho various cemeteries
by night in funeral cars, with religious rites
were shot down a shaft nnd left in a
mighty indistinguishable heap. It was not
till the timorof Napoleon tho man of men
to bring order out of chaos and to discip
line even death that tho present system
was adopted and the mass or commingled
mortal remains ranged into ranks. Since
then inscriptions havo been placed ovei
every new section, telling when and from
what cemetery they were removed. This is
all the distinction now. Here only is real
equality and fraternity. Here, side by side,
are heads which once toiled at the great
problems of scienco and humanity, and
heads that nnco plotted small thefts and
assassinations; heads that once wore coro
nets, heads that once fell under the knife of
the guiiotine, heads once pillowed on the
breasts of princes, heads that have lain on
tho black slab of the Morgue. Hero are
skeleton hands that were once soft and fair
and glittering witli jewels ; strong hands,
once dripping witli blood ; entitling hands of
musicians, rude hands of executioners ; feet
which marched in all tho campaigns of
Napoleon, feet that trampled tho weary
ways of want, feet that havegono on pious
pilgrimages, feet that have danced at the
Mabille. Pompadour y.iav here havo mingled
her bones with those of some gentle Sistei
of Mercy.
A rrnui't W itness.
In a court not mure than five thousand
miles from tho cltv of Gotham, a legal gen
tleman had gonethiough the various stages
of bar pleading, and had coaxed, and
threatened, and bullied witnesses to his
hearts' coutcnt,whpn it chanced that a verv
stupid fellow, a hostler, was called upon the
stand. He was, in fact, simplicity personi
fied. Tho counsel, it should be premised,
had made a gieat fuss about tho previous
witnesses speaking so low that ho could ukt
hear them.
"Now, sir," said tho learned counsel, "I
hope wo shall have 110 difficulty in making
you speak up."
Ho him-scir spoke rudely loud.
"I hope not, sir," shouted out tho witness
in such bellowing tones that it fairly shook
tho building.
"How daro you speak in that way, sir?"
lemaudcd tho cotiti.M'l,
"Can't peak no louder,'' he shouted,
louder than before, as il to atone for speak
iiu too low.
"Have you been drinking this morning?"
asked the lawyer, who had now cntiielv lost
his temper at tlio loars of laughter which
burst from a crowded audience.
"Yes, sir," said the witness frankly.
"And what have you been drinking, sir?
Look at tho juiy don't look at me, sir, In
that way."
"Collee, sir."
"Did you havo anything iu vour collee,
sir?"
"Yes, sir." .
"I thought so," said Iho counsel, with a
ghiueoat tho jury. "Well sir," continued
the learned counsel, "you say ou had
something iu your collee. Slate lo the iurv,
if you please, what that something was."
"Sugar, sir."
Thero was auothcrj burst of laughter
throughout tho court room.
"This man is no fool, your honor," ad
dressing tlio court, "but ho is something
worse. Now, witness, you must como to the
point. Had you anything else in your coffee
besides sugar ?"
"Yes, slij"
"Yes you had. Well, we aro likely to
otutthe truth, allir all his turning nnd
twisting to tho contrary, notwithstanding.
Well, sir, what else was it you had iu vour
collee I
"A spootv) sir," shouted tho witness. "Do
I mako you hear me, frjulrc, a spoon !"
That was tho last witness, nnd tlio last of
him on tlio stand, Hcie the tiial was ad
journed until the next day.

A Thrilling Scone.
An incident occurred 011 a recent trip,
says a correspondent, ovir tho Union Pacific
Railroad, that may bo of interest lo our
readers. Wo were rolling along between
Salt Lako and Omaha, when 1 mado my
way into tlio smoking car to enjoy a cigar.
I noticed a group gathered in tho ccnlro of
the car, and crowding my way Up, s.tw two
men 'gambling.
OnowiH a well dressed man, but bearing
tho general appearance of a blackleg; tho
other was a veritable miner, just as lib camo
from tho mountains, with long, grizzled
beard, rough, coarse, and dirty clothes, but
with lots ofgold. The play was for quite
largo stakes, and I heard whispers that tho
gambler was about to llccco tho miner, and
much sympathy was manifested for him.
Tho gamo draw-poker still went on,
with hardly a word spoken by tho players;
till finally, when a large sum on the board,
the gambler being called lo show his hand,
threw down three aces and two queens, and
reached for the monoy ; tho miner stretched
over and held his band, and laid down two
aces, showing, of course, five aces iu Iho
pack. lie then reached back, and drew .1
large navy revolver, cocked It, placid the
miizzlo directly between tbce.ycs of tho
gambler, still holding his hand.
Not a word was spoken, but each looked
steadily into tho ey.es of tho other. Soon
tiio hand began quietly to (novo from tho
monoy, the form of tho gambler to draw
back, and still tho' revolver followed. Ho
stepped into tho aisle, and hero the scone
became so uninteresting to 1110 and several
others that vvc dropped under tiio iscits.
Tlio gambler slowly backed towanl the
doOr, with tho rov6lvcr following until the
door was reached, aiid ho passed out.
The miner coolly let down tho. hammer
of his revolver, replaced it iu his pocket,
.swept the money from tho board into his
pouch, quietly lighted his pipe, and settled
back into his scat ns if nothing hnd happen
ed. Tlio strangest pnrt of the whole busi
ness was that not a word was spoken from
tho time the gambler lai(l his three aces ,011
the board until tho timo ho passod out ,tho
car door. I took a seat near tho miner
aflenvards, and chatted with him nbout his
experience iu tho mountains, find beseemed
pleasant and intelligent. We did not refer
to hisililtlo episodo with the blackleg.
I havo never witnessed buch a thrijliug
scene, or ono iu which such extreme coolness
was manifested as that by tho miner.
Joaquin Miller's Early life.
Joaquin Miller has revealed somo Inci
dents in his early life to a correspondent
of tho Louisville Courier Journal. The
poet does not know where ho was born, but
believes it was in Cincinnati, in 1SU. His
father was was impecunious and wandering,
and in a fit condition to take the gold fever
in 18 19. The family, went together to Cali
fornia, and thence to Oregon, where the fath
er was killed by Modocs, who "at tlio same
time took Joaquin prisoner. "They vycrc
then a grand people," Miller says. "They
really loved me, and somehow I loved tlio
red devils iu return. Well I was witli them
nearly fivo years, I reckon, and learned their
language better than I know the English to
day, Then camo tho Modoc war the first
one there wasn't any speech-making about
that war. It was scalps and incessant boll 1
I could havo left them, if I had liked ; but
they were grand ra-cals, and I fought with
them ! They were going to mako me chief
or something. They were whipped iu T18,
I think. And I would have been hanged if
caught'" Ho then ecaped in a canoe,
reached San Francisco, and soon afterward
joined AValker's expedition to Nicaragua,
After that exploit ho studied law in Oregon
and was admitted to practice. In 1S01 h'o
went gold hunting in Idaho. "I named tho
territory," he says ; "it is an Indian word
from the language of tho North Soshones
and it means the 'Gem of the Mountain.'
When tho Government ordered tho organiza
of tlio Territory in '02 tlio name clung to it.
'Idaho' it was, is, and will stand." Ho mado
?10,000, and lost it in a newspaper enterprise,
was elected District Judge, and got married.
"After this last occurrence," remarks the,
Poet of the Sierras, "I didu't have a pleas
ant moment for years."
A Haunted House ii: Scarliori), Me.
On a small farm situated about two and a
half miles from Dunstan Coruerin Scarboru,
Me., stands a haunted house. It was owned
and occupied somo ten years ago by John
Finard, an Irishman, and who died there
and was buried upon the place. The farm
was then sold to pay all lawful demands
against it. Last spring it was bought by
one Johnson, who, with his wifo and his
wifo's father, havo lived upon it ever siuco
until within a few days. Thcstatemeyt that
all threo make is, that from tho timo they
in oved upon tho place until they left, there
was not a night but some mysterious sounds
and lights wero seen or heard in somo part
of tho house. Sometimes cros-ed hands
upon tho wall, surrounded by a circle of
light, would appear. Then this would dis
appear, and doors would begin to open and
shut, and latches rattle. Then thero would
bo sounds liko water boiling over upon tho
stove, and when this would stop whisperings
in diil'erent parts oft bo homo woilld be audi
ble. Then tho stove would shako and the
stove covers would rattle, and figures of a
person of full size, dressed in white, and
without eyes or nose, would travel about the
room, Some nights it would appear justas
soon as tho family retired, and tho sounds
and sights would continue all night. Even
iu the daytimo the spooks would appear.
Whllo Mrs. Johnson was at work one day
in the kitchen, nil at onco something passed

Church Pews. There is a speck of his

or in, a standing posture. At a later period
the people introduced low, three-legged

should call any seat in the church his ovvu
except noblemeiand patrons, each entering

1030 to 1540 seats were more Appropriated,
and a crowbar guarded the entrance, bearing
thoinitials of tho owners. It was in 1C0S
that galleries were arrauged to afibrd comfort
by being baized omtshioncd, while'lhc sides
around were so high as to hide thejocdu'pants

Don't linger where your "lovo lies
