In 17SC tho county of Luzerne was erected out of part of Nor thumberland, and named in honor of tho Chevalier do la Luzerne, minister from France to tho United States. In the year 1772 Mr. James McCIuro set tled upon tlio west bank of tho north branch of tho Susquehanna river, about ono milo abovo tho mouth of Fishing creek, in what i3 now Columbia county. Ho obtained a patent for his farm from tho heirs of Wil liam Fenn under tho name of "McClure's Choice." A largo part of West Moomsburg is built upon tho old McCIuro survey. On tho 8th of Feb", 1770, among tho committee of safety wo find named as tho members for Wioming township, Mr. James McCIuro, Mr. Thomas CIaton, Mr. Peter Melick, whoso families aro still here. Col. James McCIuro, who died upon tho old homestead o October -1, 1S50, was tho youngest son of tlio original proprietor, and was tho first white child born is this section of Pennsyl vania. His mother was a Miss Espy, and his eldest sister married Maj'or Moses Van Campcn, a famous Indian fighter in this neighborhood, whoso exploits border some times on tho marvellous. Within the samo year of 1772, Evan Owen located himself on a farm at tho meiith of Fishing creek, and abovo Mr. James Mc CIuro came in their order Thomas Clayton, John Bonn, John Webb, George Espy, the proprietor of Espytown, and tho Ginglcs family. There was also previously to tho 1'cvolution a settlement at tho mouth of Ilriar creek. The majority of these settlers belonged to tho Society of Friends. Mc Cluro's house was made uso cf as a fort from tho commencement of tho war, as was also tlio building at Iiriarcrcck. In 17S0 Mc Clure's was surrounded by an enlarged stock ade, occupying tho very spot of tho precnt homestead upon that farm, Columbia county was taken from North umberland and separately organized by act of Assembly of March 22nd, 1SW, with tho following boundaries, to wit: "Beginning nt tho nine mile tree on tlio bank of tho north east branch of tho SiWjuehanna, and from thence by tho line of Point township to tho lino of Cliillisiuarpio township, then by tho lino of CliillUpuntuo and Point townships to tho west blanch of tho river Susquehan na, thenco up the samo to tho lino of Lycom ing county, thenco by tho lino of Lycoming county to tho lino of Luzerno county, thenco by tho samo to tho line of Schuylkill coun ty, thence along the samo to tho south-west corner of Cntavvissa township, thenco by tho lino of Catawi.a and Shamokin townships to tho river Susquehanna, nud thenco down said river to the plnco nf beginning." Thero can ho no doubt that the townships of C'hillNqiinquo and Turhot were originally incorporated into Columbia county in order to secure tho location of tho county build ings nt Danville ; for tho commissioner ap pointed by the Governor to select a sito for tho county town wero required to fix it "as near tho center ns tho situation thereof will admit," and Danville having been named in tho report of tho said commissioners, and tho object king thus achieved, nil act was passed, and approved tho 21st day of Febru ary, A. D. 1810, by which it was provided "That from nnd after tho first day of May next, the townshiiis-of Turhot and Chillis- quaque, in tho county of Columbia, bo, and tho same aro hcieby annexed to and mado part of Northumberland county." On tho samo day an act'To run and mark n line dividing tlio counties of Columbia nnd Luzerno" becatno u law. Tho seeming trick by which tho county beat of the new county had been fixed at Danville, and tho prompt ro-nnnoxation of tho two townships of Chillisquaquo nnd Tur hot to that from which they wero tnken,pro voked 11 spirit of indignation nud opposition in tho upper part of tho county. An agita tion for tho removal of tho scat of justlco from Danvillo to liloomsburg, ns a moro central location and moro in accordance with tho letter nnd spirit of tho act erecting Columbia county, immediately commenced, nnd continued until success crowned tho en deavor, by on act approved the 2Hh day of February, 1815, just thirty years after, au thorizing 11 voto upon tho question of remo val. Tho detailed result will bo found under that chapter in this volume. In tho meantime, however, an active und determined was tho new inovemijiit becomo that it became necessary to conciliate tho I if Ml twill 'removal" party. Accordingly, on tho 22d day of January, A. 1). 1810, an net was at prorcd, providing "That from and after tho first day of May next, that patt of the Chillisquaquo and Turhot townships, in tho county of Northumberland, lying within tlio following described bounds, viz.: beginning nt tho corner of Point nnd Chillisquaquo townships in the line of Columbia county, thenco by tho lines of said townships along tho summit of Montour's mountain, to whero what U called Strawbridgo's road crosses said mountain, thenco by said road to whero tho road from Wilson's mills to Danvillo intersects said road, thenco to tho brldgo over Chillisquaquo creek at John Murray's, thenco by what is called Harri son's road past Chillisquaquo meeting houso to tho corner of Turbot nnd Derry townships in tho lino of Lycomint? county, thenco by tho lino of Columbia county to tho placo of bcgi inlng, bo, nnd the samo nro hereby nn nexed to and mado part of Columbia coun ty." Tlio parts of Chillisquaquo and Turbot which wero thus re-anncxed to Columbia becamo tho townships of Liberty nnd Lime stone, now in Montour county. This nc tion of tho Lcgislaturo took, for a timc,much of tho vim out of tho removal party, but tho snako was only scotched, not killed, nnd as tho northern townships increased in popula tion and wealth nnd citizens found them selves obliged to travel nearly tho whole lengthof tho county to reach the court house, tlio question again loomed up. It received a now impetus when tho Leg islature, in 181S, by an act approved March tlio 3d, provided "That all that part of Co lumbia and Luzerno counties lying within tho following lines, viz.: Beginning at a corner in the line dividing tho county of Columbia from tho county ol Schuylkill, thenco extending through tho township of Catawissa north ten degrees east four miles and a half to a pino tree on tho littlomountain,thcncoextendiugthrough tho townships of Catawissa and Miflliu north forty-five dogrces cast fivo miles to a stoiio onlBuck's mountain and in alinodivid ing tho county of Columbia from tho county of Luzerne, thenco through tho township ot bttgarloaf in tho county of Luzerne, south seventy degrees cast eight miles to tho lino between tho county of Schuylkill and tlio county of Luzerne, thenco along tho said lino and tho lino between tho county of Columbia and the county of Schuylkill to tho place of begiiining,"sliould bo annexed to the county of Schuylkill, and bo called "Union" township. Thus shorn of her fair proportions upon the ono sido and tho other, onco more, in tho year 1850, wo wero dismembered, and tho county of Montour was erected from the ter ritory of Columbia, by an act approved May 3d, by tho following boundaries : "All that part of Columbia county included within tho limits of tho townships of Franklin, Ma honing, Valley, Liberty, Limestone, Derry, tVnthouy, and the borough of Danville, to gether with all that portion of the townships of Montour, Hemlock and Madison lying westward of tho following lino: beginning at Lciby's saw mill 011 tho bank of tho Sus quehanna, thenco by tho road leading to tlio Danvillo and Bloomsburg road, at or near Samuel Lazarus' house,thcnco from the'.Dan- villo and liloomsburg road to tho back val ley road at tho end of tlio lane leading from said road to Obed Everett's houso, thenco by said lane to Obed Everett's houso, thenco northward to tho school houso near David Smith's, in Hemlock township, thenco by tho road leading irom said school houso to tho stato road at Robbins's mill to the end of the lano leading from said road to John Kinney's house, thenco by a straight lino to John Town-end's, near tho German meeting houso, thenco to Henry Johnston's, near Millvillc, thenco by a straight lino to a post in tho Lycoming county lino near tho road leading to Crawford's saw mill; together with that part of Roariugcreck township lying south and west of a lino begiuning at tho south-eastern corner of Franklin township, thenco eastward by thesouthcrnboundarylino of Catawissa township to a point directly north of John Ycager's house, thenco south ward by a direct line, including John Yca ger's house, to tho Schuylkill county lino at tho north-cist corner of Barry township." On tlio first of November following tho act was to go into operation. Tho excite ment over the matter was intenso, heighten ed by tlio recollection of old contests over tho question of tho removal of tho seat of justice from Danville to Bloomsburg. Ev ery interest niccumbed to tho dominant question of "Repeal," and tho people went into tho election contest on that issue. Fi nally hy an act approved tho 15th day of January, 1S53. tho division lino was chang ed, nnd now remains ns follows: "Tho town ship of Roaringoreek in Montour county, and such parts of tho townships of Franklin, Madison and West Hemlock in tlio samo county ns lio eastward of tho adjusted lino between Columbia nnd Montour countieshero innftcr prescribed and established, shall be, and tho samo aro hereby, ro-nnnoxed to tho county.and shall hereafter composo n part of tho territoryof tho said county of Columbia as fully and efiectually ns if tho samo had never been included within tlio limits of Montour county. That tho lino between thosaid conn tie of Columbia and Montourshallbochang ed nnd re-located as follovvs.to wit: beginning at tlio Northumberland county line, at or near tho houo of Samuel Reader, thenco a direct course to tlio center of Roaring creek in Franklin township, twenty rods nbovo a point in said creek opposito tlio houo of John Vought, thenco from tho middlo of tlio stream of said creek to tho Susquehanna riv er, tlicneo up tho centre of tho samo to a point opposito whero tho present county lino between Columbia and Montour strikes tho north bank of tho river, thenco to tho said north bank, thenco by tho present division lino between said counties to tho school houso near tho rcsidenco of David Smith, thenco to a point near tho rcsidenco nf Dan iel Smith, thenco to tho bridge over Deer lick run on tho lino between Derry nnd Madison townships, thencQ by tho lino be tween said township of Madison nnd tho townships of Derry and Anthony to tho lino of Lycoming county."

Miscellaneous. Distoiirngliii; business. Tiin TiiiinMoMnTEit man in Detroit. Ho was n way-worn man from the East and ho hail thirty-seven thermometers in a basket nn his arm, After standing on tlio street comers for two or three hours without making a sale, ho started for tlio castorn parts of tho city, hoping to do bettor among tho privato houses, Ho seemed to gain con fulcnco from tho cheerful look of tlio dwcl lings, nnd lie boro himself like a bnnkor ns ho ascended tho steps and pulled tho door bell, "Nothing for tho poor," said tho lady, as slio opened tho door. "I am not soliciting for tho poor I nm selling tliermoiiicters,"ho replied In a balmy voice. "Don't want nny bought our stock in tho fall," sho said, drawing in her head. "I said thermometers, Madam," ho callod in a despairing voice. "I know it; butwo'vo got nil the vegeta. blcs wo can uso," sho called back-, ami tho door struck his toes. Going in tho saloon on tho corner tlio man addressed tho proprietor with a sweet smile, asking : "Would you like a thermometer to day?" "By do pnshel ?" inquired the saloonist. "No ; a thermometer; a littlo instrument for telling you when it is cold or warm." 'iAny music-box in it?" inquired the sa loonist. '!No ; it records tho weather." "Whatwcddcr?" "Why, tho weather we havo every day in tho year. When it is warm this littlo bulb runs up; when it is cold itsinks down." "UmphtVhcn it ish warm I dakes mv goat off; vhen it isli gold I but more goal on dcr stoaf. Go und el! dat to soino schmall poy as knows noddings 1" Tho thermometer man entered n carpet5 weaver's and tho bow-backed man nodded kindly, nnd cordially welcomed him. "Accurato thermometers for only twenty- fivo cents," said tho peddler, as he held up ono. "Now thing?" said the weaver, as ho took one in his hand. "Wo have had thermometers for many years, l'coplo havo come to consider them n household necessity." "Zero? .eio? Who was Zero ?" asked tho weaver, reading the word behind the ;lass. Tho thermometer man explained, and tho weaver, after trying to get his thumb nail under the glass, asked : "Whcic does the blamed thing open?" "Thermometers aro not mado to open, my friend," was tlio reply. " ell 1 don't want no thermometer nround mo that won't open i ' growled tho weaver. "I thought it was a new kind of stovc-haiidlo when you camo iu.or I shouldn't have looked at it I" The thermometer man next tried a dwell ing house. In answer to his ring tlio door was instantly and swiftly opened hy a red- faced woman, who hit him with a club and cried out : "I'll learn you, you young villain I" She apologized and explained that several bad boys had been ringing tho door-bell,and ho forgave her and said : "I havo some accurato and handsome ther mometers here. Would you " "Wo never have hash for breakfast,", sho interrupted. "My husband detests hash, and to I don't wan't to buy." "Hash I A thermometer has nothing to do witli hash I" ho exclaimed. "Well, I can't help that," sho replied, slowly closing tho door. "Wo haven't any lamps to mend, nnd you shouldn't track mud on the steps that way." Thero was a portly man crossing tho street, nnd tho thermometer man beckoned to him halted him, and when ho got near enough asked: "Can I sell you an accurato thermometer today?" "A what?" 'A thermometer." "What do I want with a thermometer?" exclaimed tho portly man, raising his voico a peg. "Why, to noto tho weather." "You blamed idiot! Do you suppose I run tho weather?" roared the fat man, grovv iug purple in tho face. "But you want to know when its hot or cold, don't yju?" "Am I such an old fool that I don't know when it's summer and when it's winter?" shrieked tho fat man. "Wo all know, of course," replied tho stranger, "every rcspeclnblo family has n thermometer now a days." "They have, eh ! I nover had ono nor I wouldn't havo any, nnd do you daro tell mo that I ain't respectable?" screamed old portly. "I didn't mean " "Yes, you did, and you'vo mado 1110 miss tho car and I'll enno you !" Tho thermometer man waded across tho muddy street and mndo his oscaro, and nt lusk Inst night was backed up ngainst tlio soldiers' monument, Ills basket between his feet, and was squinting sadly at the clock on tho City Hall. Detroit Free rrm. Seven Men Shot to Heath. Tivinini.E picTHitn op liit. on a cuiian PLANTATION HAP.IIAP.OPS TP.IUT.MP.NT OF A CltLOLP. SLAVH A Ul'ftllAND's VKNOHANC-:. Advices havo been received of tho execu tion of seven persons which took place on tho 20th tilt, on a plantation in Cuba called "El Santo Cristo." This plantation is owned by Francisco Gonzalez Arango, and is situated in tlio Vnclta do Abajo, near tho town of Qulbican, in tho juiisdlction of Bejucal, iWango is a wealthy planter, and is the owner of several sugar plantations. Hols about forty-six years of age, S01110 months ngo lio bought n lot of slaves in tlio Yuelta di Arriba, and hud them taken to his plan tution, El Santo Cristo. Among them were an African woman, her son Luis, a Creole, bom in Cuba, his wife, also n Creole, and a Clilncso coolie laborer. After they had bet 11 on the plantation a short time, Arango'it mayoral, or ovcrccr, a white mail, mado Improper ropo.aU to Luis' wife. Nie liidlgmuitlv njected his advances, nud after npintcil lel'iisals, tlio mayoral became aury and determined to take revenge, He therefore went to Arangi and told him such btories about tho woman THE COLUMBIAN, VOL. X, Nf). 7 COLtJMIHA DEMOCRAT, VOL. XL1, NO. 1 ns lo indtico him to order that sho should be severely whipped. When aslavo is whipped in Cuba it is tlio custom to lay him prono on the ground, four others hold his hands nnd feet, and tho lash is then applied to the b.iro skin. Tho whip used on thci"0 oc casions is a most formidable instrument of punishment. Tho handle, which is gener ally of orango wood, Is quito thick, nnd is about thrco feet long, with a heavy lash of about four feet, tipped with a strongly twisted hempen cracker. With this whip when wielded by a practised hand, tho skin may bo cut through at each blow. When tho siiitcnco was about to be exc. cutcd upon tho woman, It was found that sho would soon becomo n mother. Her fellow slaves hoped that on account of this sho might escape, thinking that her condi tion would preclude tho infliction of the punishment in tho ordinary manner. But tills did not avail, and sho was whipped in aterriblo manner. ;Durlng tho whipping her child was born. Luis, incensed at the terriblo outrago to which his wifo had been subjected, deter mined to revengo himself upon his master. From tho cruelties daily practised towards ills fellow slaves, ho felt convinced that he could easily securo tho cm-operation of a sufficient number of them to accomplish his purpose. In a few days seven of tho ne groes who had been brought with him from Vuelta do Arriba, together with tho China, man, had entered into a solemn leaguo with him to kill Arango. About tho middlo of January nil their plans wero laid, nnd ono night they started out to do the deed, but Arango, from some unexpected cause, had left tho plantation. Meeting tho mayoral, they decided that he is tlio executioner of tho cruel and inhu man decrees of his master, should pay the penalty. They accordingly killed him, nnd then went and gavo themselves up to the authorities at Bejucal, telling what they had done. They were nt onco put in prison and an investigation was begun. Tho trial did not last long, and tho result was that Luis and two other negroes were sentenced to bo shot, tho Chinaman nud two negroes wero sentenced to tho chain gang for ten years, ncd tho remaining three to fivo years extra hard work ou tho planta tion. tVrango was not satisfied with tho sen tences of tho court. Ho therefore appealed from its decision, and through the influence he brought to bear obtained another trial. This time tho prisoners were tried by a court martial composed of officers of the Spanish army. On January 2G Luis, the Chinaman, and five of tho negroes were sentenced to death, and tho others to extra hard labor on tho plantation for such a time as Arango might deem proper. Entry on tho morning ot the 2uth the prisoners wore taken out and surrounded by a strong guard, were placed on horses, tlicir trms tied behind their backs and their feet securely fastened. Tlio scene is said to have been ono of tho saddest ever witnes-ed in Bejucal. All persons watched tho proceed ings with sorrowful faces, and tho negroes ot tho town were loud in their expressions of grief, and many of them were in tears. When tho procession was formed the irisoncrs wero taken through tho piazza and thenco through tho principal street of the town, to tho plantation El Santo Cristo. There all tho slaves were called out to wit ness tho execution, and Luis' mother was mado to stand first in tlio line. His wife w.13 too ill in tho infirmary to bo pres ent. ' The priseners were then mado to stand in ino, and a platoon of soldiers were drawn up in front of them. They fired at tho word, and tho seven men, who all met their fato witli courage and resolution, fell at tho first fire. Their bodies wero then thrown into m ox cart, and removed for immediate buiial. A Tiii'Mling Wat1 Incident. DUEL HLTWIXN I'HDHP.AI, AND CONrilDElt- ATE COMMANDERS. A Confederate surgeon writes to a Chica go paper : On tho 12th day of Juno 1S03,I witnessed .1 duel between a Captain Jones, command- ng a Federal scout, and Capt. Fry, com manding a rebel scout, in Greene county, East Tennessee. These two men had been fighting each other for six months, with tho fortunes of battlo in favor of one nnd then tho other. Their commands wero encamped on cither sido of Lick creek, a largo aud sluggish stream, too deep to ford and too hallow for a ferry boat ; but thero a bridge panned tho stream for tho convenience of tho traveling public. Eacli of them guard ed this bridge, that communication should go neither north nor south, as tho railroad trackball been broken up months befoie. fter fighting each other for several mouths, mil contesting tho point ns to which should hold tho bridge, they agreed to fight a duel, tho conqueror to hold tho bridge undisputed for tho tinio being. Jones gavo tho chal lenge, and Fry accepted. Tho terms, wero that they should fight witli navy pistols at twenty yards apart, deliberately walking toward each oilier and firing until the last chamber of their pistols was dischargcd,iiii- less 0110 or the other fell beforo all tho dis charges wero made. They choe their bee- onds, aud agreed upon a rebel surgeon (as ho was tho only one in cither command) to attend them in ciuo of danger. Jones was certainly a fiue-louking fellow, with light inir nud blue eyes, five feet ten inches in height, looking every Inch tho military chieftain. Ho was a man that soldiers would admiro niid.ladics regard witli admira tion, I nover saw a man more cool, de termined and heroic under buch circum stanced.

Fry was in tho act of firing his last shot, but seeing Jonos fall, silently lowered his pistol, dropped It to tho ground, and sprang to Jones' side, taking his head in his lap as ho set down, and asked him If ho was hurt. I discovered that Jones was shot through tho stomach, tho bullet glancing nround that region, nnd coming out to tho left of tho spinal column; beside, lie had received thrco other frightful flesh wouuds in other portions of his body.

A Bali.p.t-Gip.l Bhrned at tub Stake. An inquest has been held at Sheffield on tho body of tho poor ballet-girl, Alma Oldale, who met her death under tho wrotch edest circumstances through a fire which oc curred during tho performance of a panto mime at tho Sheffield thcatro on tho 18th of December last. Tho uufortunato deceased was only 18 years of age: and was engaged to enact tho part of an "extra" or "flying lady" in tho transformation scono of tho pantomime. Sho was suspended from tho "flies," standing on a pieco of iron, nnd strapped to an iron rod at hor back. Tho gauze curtnins at tho wing, from some un known cause, caught fire nud wero blown by a current of cold air towards tho deceased her muslin skirts sho had on besides only a single garment wero at onco enveloped in flames, and it was stated nt the inquest that two minutes elapsed beforo sho could bo lowered to the stage. Being strapped to tho iron rod, she was, of course, utterly powerless, and between such a fato and be-; ing burned alive at the stake wo aro unablo to discern any material difference. Alma Oldalo appears to havo undergone tho pro cess of roasting with remarkablo courage, but her nervous system was entirely shattered by the shock sho had sustained, and, after lingering .1 few days, tho poor creature died. London Telegraph, January 15. Tlio Sorrows of a San Francisco Sheriff. Tho newly-elected sheriff was sitting in his oflice sad-eyed and haggard. Ho held in his hend a stack of manuscript represen ting the applications of 879 candidates for positions of deputy sheriff, each of whom said ho had worked for him at tho polls, and had gained him all the way from 200 to 1000 votes from their personal friends who did not voto tho Democratic ticket. A man attired in a blue shirt, with a pa per collar and a red nose, entered the office and, gras.dng tho hand of tho lirod official greeted him cordially. "Ah, Mr. Sheriff but it's glad I am to seo you looking so hear ty ; don't you remember mc ?" "I don't think I do," remarked the official "although there is something in your face which is familiar to me." "Ah, Mr. Sheriff, I thought you'd know me. I worked for you all day election, and got you ono thousand votes, and I como for that place." "Well, I am sorry to say that I havo nl- ready promised all tho places at my dispo sal." "Oh.givcmoa place, I don't caro what it is." "Oh, by tho way," said tho sheriff, ' witli a malicious grin in his eye, "thero U 11 placo but it's not worth much, nnd I don't think you'd take it." "Ah, Mr. Sheriff, I'll tako anything; I don't caro what kind of a placo it is. Tell mo what it is, and I'll jump at it witli my coat oil." "All right," said tho sheriff; "thero is a Chinaman going to bo hanged at tho jail nex' month, and ho wants somebody to tako his place. I think it will buit you." The man with the red uosu ceased to smilo and asking tho sherill' for a quarter to pay hi. lodging that night, he left tho uilien nud mingled with tlio throng of woulrl-uo deputy she! ill's on tho oiitsido. Ills Loilgo It got so nt last that his wifo began to wonder what business "iho Loige," had 011 hand that it should meet four or live times per week. Ho was out four nights .1 week until eleven o'clock, and ho camo homo with redness in his eyes, and his step was unsteady as he passed down tho hall. Ho said "iho Lodge" business was mighty hard on tho nuisclesjthat candidates were coming In by the hundreds, Ono night ho groaned out int ids bleep nnd talked of "the tight bower," aud yelled out "spades I" and tlio wife ivondeicd still more, Tlio other evening sho took 11 position whero sho could seo who went up stairs into tho Lodgo rooms. Her husband passed by and entered a placo where rows of bottles adorn tho shelves, nud coffee 11 ml spices stand in a saucer on tlio counter to purify the Jircath. When sho went lu lie was 0110 of four nta table. Each one of tho four was looking.at tho pictures 011 some cards ho held in his hand. "So this is the Lodgo, is It?" sho inquired as she stood befoie him. Ho was caiiht, and resolved to make a clean breast of it. He laid his cards down 1 o-e up und gave her ills nriii, nud said : '(won't lio tu you, Mary.
