Catawissa is a largo and nourishing vil lage on tho left bank of tho Sustiuehaiinn, at tho mouth of CntawUsa creek, about four miles south of lllooinsburg, It is situated in tho midst of picturesque scenery, nnd is surrounded by a rich nnd fertile country. Tho town contains over ono thousand inhab itants. Tho earliest referenco to tho placo by tho nnmo of Catawissa is tho dato and placo ol u letter written by James LoTort, nn In dian trader, to the Govcrnorof tlio province. It is given thus, "Catawassc, May ye 12, 1728." For many reasons I think tho nnmo is n dialect of tho Delaware.; but whether of tlio Mousey or Wolf tribe, tho Unahichltgocs or Turkey tribe, or tho Wanameao or Turtlo tribe, I do not know, but by tho terminal syllable-1 should judge tho last. Kortnioml Conynglinm, Est., who lins de voted much research to thonborluliml his tory of tho Suite, says, "Tho l'iscntaweso nr Gitngawcse, or Conoys,'(lvcnehawns) had u wiRvuim on tho Cntnvvcso nt CnUvvcse, now Cfttfiwlssa," Hon. Stewart 1'earceVny.s that 'tlio Shu vvnnese, n tribo of tho Erics, driven from tlio great lakes south about 1003, lo Georgia nntl Florida, becoming involved thcro with tlio Spaniards nnd southern Indians,roturiied north about 111.0.' It'.U .cerlnin that they cnino Into thol'rovlnceiit or nbout 1007. They settled nlongtheDelavvarennd tlieSusftuclinn nn, nmong tho Dclnvvnrcs, nnd under tho control of tlio Six Nations. Mr. Pcnrco goes on to say, however, "Tlio Shavvtineso hail n vlllngo nt Eishingcrcck near Hlooms burg, mid nt Catnwissa, nnd ti small settle ment near llrinr creelc." Neither tho G.mgawcso nor tlio Shnvva nese belonged to tho Delaware-, yet it is not Impiusihlo they may hnvo been settled ns nbovo staled, nnd "Catnvvcso" may belong to ono of them, seeing they have tho same terminal as tho Wnnamcscof tho Delnwnres; and tho word in nny ono of tho nbovo dia lects may mean, ns clnimcd, "I'uro water." It may bo curious to note here, that nt a council held nt Philadelphia in July and August, 17119, between Thomas Pemi nnd the Slinwaneso Indians, upon "being asked if they nro at war with nny Indians to the southward, they said that they were at war with tho Catawbas nnd Catcwas Indians, in Carolina." In 1742-!? some troubles occurring between us antl tho Shavvancse, Conrad Weber was sent to Shnmokin to have an Interview with them and others. On tho -1th of February they met at tho house of Shikcllimo, ami he found nmong tho'nsaembly "Olumapies and I.apapcton of tho Dclavvarcs." In 1701 Mr. Weier funis tho same Delaware chief, spell ing his name, however, Eapackpitton, at Oskohany, doubtless from the context mean ing Catawissa. In 1708 I find, in Post's Journal, tho nnmo spelled Lappopetung, lio was n man of some note, nnd for a timo fastened his namo upon tlio town of "Cata wese," and in thoso ancient deeds tho namo is spelled Eau-paugh-pctin. Well ! peace to his ashes, however it bo. Certainly as early as 172S thcro were whito people in and about Catawissa ; btittho first account wo hnvo of a settlement mado under law and purchase was the granting by Patent, of two hundred nnd eighty-two acres, " which part of tlio town now stands, by the Honorable tho Proprietaries of Pennsylvania to Edward Shippcn Jr., and Joseph Shippcii Jr., tho Mth of Febru ary, 1770, who by their indenturo on tho 1st of May, 1773, granted the same unto Ellis Hughes in fee; who, with Hannah, his wife, by their indenture of tlio 27th dny'of June, 1778, granted ninety-two acres and ono quar ter of an acre, part of the abovo mentioned tract, unto William Hughe, who laid out tho town in the year 17S7. Although an attempt was made to fasten the namo of the founder upon it, the good sciiso of tho people' settled on tho already well 1-iiown and sweet sounding original, ami whether Wauaniese, or Shawanesc, or Gangawcsc, it will! remain "Catawe.so" for ever. William Hughes was a Quaker from Ilerks county. Isaiah Hughes kept the.first store. Among the earlier pioneers were William Collins, James Watson, John I.loyd. Feiittin,'l!enjamin Sharpless, and others of the Society of Friends. Of thoso mentioned there seem'to bo no, records, except of the Sharpless family, of whom thero reniain'the following'intercsting facts : The ancestor purchased J. from William Venn in England, by indenturo dated April Oth, 1082, oiie.thousand acres of land in tho Province of Pennsylvania, for twenty pounds sterling, nnd an annual quit rent of one shil ling for every hundred acres, on the first day of March, forever. The land was locat ed in Chester county, about two miles north from Chester, and in Providence township and Middleton township, now in Delaware county. John Sharpless, the purchnscr.dicd in 10S0, aged nbout Gl years, and Jane, his wife, in 1722, aged about 84 years. Of their children. Thomas died on shipboard, Phebe and Jauo in 10S0, and Caleb in 1088 leaving three sons, John, James nnd Joseph, from whom the entire Sharpless family aro de scended. John Sharpless, the elder brother, married Hannah Pcnuel, daughter of Rob ert Pennel, in 1092, and resided on tlio tract purchased oil' Itidley creek, near Chester. They had nino children, Caleb, Jane, Han nab, John, Phebe, Itebecca, Margaret, .Ann ml Daniel, lio died in 1717, nt tlio age ot 81 years, his wife having died in 1721. James Sharpless, tho second brother, mar ricd Mary Lewis, daughter of ltalph and Mary Lewis, from Glamorganshire,!!! Wales, and settled on tho second tract above men tioned, in Providence township. They had eight children, Lydia, Mary, James, ltachcl, Sarah, Thomas, David and Esther. Joseph Sharpless, tlio younger brother, married Lydia Lewis, sister to his brother James' wife, and in pursuance of a family arrangement settled on tho third tract, in Middleton township. They had ten chil dren, Susanna, Joseph, licnjamin, Samuel, Lydia, Nathan, Jane, Abraham, Jacob and William. Ho died in 1707, and his wife in 1700. Of these children, licnjamin settled in Catawissa. John Meant, a famous Quaker preacher and physician, a man of great energy of character, afterwards became tho Vroprietor of tho town by buying up tho quit rents. In 17i0 James Watson laid out an addition to tho town. Among tlio Germans, George Knnppenbcrger canio about 1700 and took or established a Jerry across tho Susquehan na, Christian Probst, whoso descendants netlvo and extenslvo business men, nro still there, camo about 1703, John Hntick was ono of tho first, if not tlio first, to build n Aiinnco in tho region, on Itoaringcreek in 1810. Ho mado tlio rough old ten plate stove, ninny of which with his imprint wcro scattered through tho country. Tho shad fishery of tho Catawissa was ono of tho most famous on tlio Susquehanna botli for tlio quantity and tlio quality of tho lull. Closo by tho town tho Susquehanna break through tho Catawissa mountain, making somo wild and beautiful scenery. Tlio rock overhang tlio bed of tho river, nnd tho le gend of thu "Lover's Leap" is locates! nt tlio most precipitous part of tho rent mountain pile. Although tlio e.irly promiso of tho locality has not been fulfilled perhaps, yet It has ad vantages of location which must remain, It has an Episcopal church, u Mcthodist,u Ger man Reformed, a Lutheran, and a Friends' meeting house, n Mnsonlc hull, a bank, n paper mill, nntl "extensive car shop?. Tlio Catawissa Knllrond passes through lt,nnd tho D. L, Si W. Itallroad runs along its bordcr.s, and tho river Is Kpniined by an excellent bridge, Tho Catawissa Itridgo company for tlio original erection of u bridge across the Sin fUichniiiiu was orgnulzcd by net of Assembly of March 10, 1810, nnd the bridge was com pleted In 18:32 or 183;), nta cost or nbout $20,000. The contractor was ono Stoncbcr gcr. It has on moro than ono occasion been partially destroyed by freshets, and that des truction was completed lu tho great ico flood of March 17, 1870. The Uono work for the re-erectlon was awarded to Grnver A llrooks, Juno 12, 1870, and tho wood work to Perry & Hobart, Juno 21, 1870. Tho bridge was opened for travel November 22, 1870. Tho floor of the new bridgo is six fect higher than tlio old one, nnd tho piers aro thirty feet abovo low water mark. It Is a llovvo truss, single track bridge, eighteen fect in the clear, and cost about thirty-eight thous and dollars. Miscellaneous. TOM HAYWAMI'S I'KOSKKI'iyi:. "Lower tho boat and let her drift I" This was the order given by the captain of the brig Lcvantjcoastingo'ie cloudy midsummer night along tho western shoro of X . Tho incredulous sailor hesitated to obey. A second order, brutally mado explicit, left him no choice! Into the boat tho enraged captain had flung rather than lilted n woman and a child. "What do you say now?" ho nd;cd. as the hastily lowered boatl'rocked giddily be twixt sea and deck. "Do you repent your rash oath Y" "Never I" answered firmly and fear- essly a woman's calm voice. "I prefer this." 'Cut her loose!" cried the master to tho subaltern, who of all his crew was, morally as well as physically, his s'avc ; while, livid with rage, his f.ico glared upon the woman ono parting look. Tho boat was cut loose. Tlio briir Levant veered on its tack: tho boat, with silent burden, fell hopelessly astern : the rolling waves, the darkness fell be tween. The woman, hardly moro than a child in years sixteen she might hnvo. been ut tho most remained passively unobservant, in stinctively hugging her child to her breast. Ono wild scene had revealed to her the ter rors of life, and obliterated forever tho ter rors of death. The boat bounded along not nngently. Tho sea was not running high, and the night air was not chilling. The clouds, lowering closely against the face of the waters, so as eljectually to shut away all light from tho ky, were surcharged, it seemed, with gentlest rain. Death was inevitable, but it was not' harsh. To go down in''the oblivion-beariuj; em brace of the scaJoMnk deep into tho bosom of the never-ceasing sleep what were the lew pangs that might mark against tho heart the edge of this engulfing? Were they any thing to be feared alter that? All terrible aspects of destruction had passed in the parting glare of ono human face. "My baby, too!" contentedly sighed the girl. What was it, thcn,that made her suddenly start and quake? Nothing but n sensation of cold against the palm of her left liauJ, that'had lovingly lain dormant beside the babe's foot -a sensation of strango cold, startling her nerves, piercing her heart, from the little baby's foot Ity ono of those singular transitions that only tho most subtile analysis of mechanism can unveil, a sudden chango occurred in the outeast!girl,arousing her from stupid apathy to eager life. "The land where is the land ?" her lips gasped, while her eyes, grown suddenly in tense, peered through the glooming space. Surely they were drifting shoreward. Surelv sho saw the looming of great rocks. Yes, nnd now the tla-hing of a light. They wcro homo in bravely on tho up bearing sun, uno grent wave, and now another, friendly and gigantic, lifted tho boat upon its shoulders nnd urged it on. Only tho rocks wero opposing bars. On each bar tho billows broko with a shock. On theso bars tho boat was stricken plank from plank ; but tho girl, witli a voico rendered keen by tho motherly pang at her breast, sent shriek nyd scream through tho night, with her eyes fixed on the light, cry ing, Help ! help'! help Tom Hayward, ono of tho most matter-of- fact men among nioitals, had what ho did not believe in at nil a pre.-enliinent that night. He was sitting idly smoking a cigar in the seaward verandah of his hotel with a few loiiL'ging companions, who had been persuading him, forbidding ns tho weather was, to go to tho theatre of an adjacent town to see a star actress In a provincial cast; and ho had been la.ily considering whether to necept tho proposition, when a sudden im pulse, strong enough to impel him from his nonchalant attitude resolutely to ids fect struck him with this clearly expressed in tent: "Excuse me, for I must go down to my cave. I hnvo left D 's manuscript and It 's packet of African rough diamond upon my escritoire shelf, and tho postern gate unlocked lie declined tho proposal for tho evening in town peremptorily, and went towards tho dill's. "Confound my culpablu inertia!" ho muttered to himself j "it lias bred theso in coherent vagaries of tho brain. What mado mo think that somo ono is knocking nt tlio sea gato to-night, knocking and crying for help? Not an ocular illusion, certainly nn auricular illusion I have never heard of. I suppose such n complaint may exist nervous irritation of tho tympanum this tin doiibtedly Is. Tho sounds wire low, but so distinct. At any rate, I am on tho track." Walking at a brisk pace, Tom Hayward turned from n paved causeway of a hlgl road that stretched over tho blulfs a inilo or moro beyond the hotel, strodo across ti bun burned moorland Into n devious seaward path, nnd, leaping down sharp-hewn stei in thu rock, encountered a door formidably constructed of Iron, tho "postern gate ' left tills night accidentally unlocked that opened into n masonried pnssago con nectini! tho beetling crags with tho sub tcrranenu vault known as Hayward'a Cave, 1 THE COLUMBIAN.

And on this bench loin liny- nrd, niisvvcrlng n vnguo cry for help, in dlblo save to nn Inward sense, whoso ex istoncohad forced itself Into recognition for tho first tlmo in ills life, found n girl (n clothing drenched by brine, evidently n vvnlt ol tlio sea, ami jttt nwak-cning irom u deathlike swoon an exquisitely swect-fcat- tired clrl.vvhoo rclnxlns irrasp had unloosed dead baby from her breast. Tlirco dnv after tho unheralded event of woman found hnlf drowned upon tno beach, and a dead child buried In the sands by hands unfamiliar with such rites, the fo)- lowing letter by a young man spending his acation nt X , wn3 dropped into tho northern post: I "Mv Dear Augusta: I promised to glvo nu a detailed account of my Impressions ol 1 X .

"Our visit was on a tranquil night; but measured, booming sound, mado resonant some acoustic properties of tho envcrned archway, announced tho nearness of the mighty deep.' Wc soon became accustomed to the ceaseless roar, and settled ourselves comfortably to a game of whist. "Hut I forget. T must picture the cavern itself, and tho simple bhek nnd white of paper nnd ink can hardly do tins. The in terior is an Apocalypse of color ; the drap eries of copper-colored satin Orientally cm- roidcrcd in brilliant silks; the pictures; the musical instruments set witli gems colored crystals, I presume; the lights nrranged in tinted groups, like flower ar rangements in Parisian taste; tlio flowers, exotic blossoms upheld against the cavern alls in carved easels or racks, the Indian rugs ; tlio coucnes quilted with Cashmere shawls; the sombre book cases inlaid will: lored hieroglyphics significant to tho initia ted, no doubt; the bronzes and marbles 'learning from mysterious niches in tlio rock; an nlcovo for refreshments but that I ill leavo to describe at leisure. Last evening it ministered to ln.T-culino taste but at times when ladies' aro invited every thing is mado to stiller a sea-clmngo ices shaped and tinted like shells, dishes, and goblets conchological from helix to nautilus, "Opposite tho refectory is. a veiled niche, and the whito lace dropped to the ground is so heavily embossed with embroidery of the gold, thnt, although it looks transparent, it is an absolute screen. I cmphasizo this fact on account of nu ciiisodo of tho even ng, which I may as well tell you at once. "Wc hall played two or threo games of whist, regaled ourselves with Hayward's choice cordials and cigars, and the evening was drawing to its close, when from behind tho embroidered curtain nroe tho music, with harp accompaniment, of the sweetest, mo?t plaintive voico that I have over heard. Tho effect was magical ; involuntarily every man ot us 'might havo been seen' with dropped cards, leaning our heads pensively upon our hands. 'Each thought of the wo man who loved him best.' "Never have I heard, my dear Augusta, such a penetrative, haunting voice. Well, all our imploring and insisting demands upon Hayward failed to force him to uplift tho veil and reveal tho fair songstress. And for this reason, wo wcro all surprised ; her form ami face belied her voice, and Hay ward would not for tho world havo destroy ed tho suggestivo effect. Indeed, upon re- llectlon, mm assisted somewhat uyi technical musical perception, I was con vinccd that the voico had tho one rift in its divino Into of incipient ngo. 'A faded prima donna,' X said. A woman, I thought, whoso intense power outlived her life, louknovv it is said that no actress can adequately play tho part of Shakes- phcro's heroines until tlio bloom of yeuth is past, and consequently tho thrilling accord of Material and immaterial Is lost, "At any rate, tho song liko tho '0110 look of passion' that Lamartino says 'sweeps the keys' of that charming 'instrument,' the face of youth swept tho keys of our some' what inured but not yet age-worn hearts, "But Augusta, my dear friend since you will only allow mo to call you by thnt namo I must conclude.

Her experienco was a realization of "an opening paradise," until memory should bo ro-establishcd, and life, that never loses itself in moro than mo mentary dreams, should catch up its lost links. Reaction came. Ono day when llaywaru had been absent many hours, he returned with something like an expression of care, and "to have," ho said, "a serious talk." lio had thrown himself into an arm cbair with a weary air, and his guest drew a cushion near and seated herself at his fect. It was the nearest attitude of affection sho, had assumed; it expressed gratitude, tho trusting subservience of her heart. I will not ask you," he said "you know I have not asked you for days to tell mo anything of tho history of your past. It is enough for mo to know that this woman hero is you. I trust you perfectly, as you trust mo ; but I can no longer shelter you here. I knew this could be but a brief haven fo yQU from (lcrjiril . na I havo been studiously making arrangements for you, such as seem for tho present best. I want you, to-morrow morning, to arrango your little wardrobe, awkwardly chosen, I fear it if, I am such a novice ; and at noon that is the timo when wo nro most deserted iiero I shall have a carriago waiting for you at the brow of this cliff." Tho girl, while ho was speaking, had turned deadly pale; she leaned her head, with a sigli of pain, against his knee. "I made a solemn vow," said Hayward "a resolution, I mean, to myself that whilo you remained my guest in this cave I would not speak to you of r.nything that has bear ings upon the outside life. But to-morrow I shall be released from this voluntary re straint. I shall visit you to-morrow in tlio house where I havo arranged to havo you brought, and then you will find how a blunt, downright fellow liko myself is ready with good advice. And always" for sho looked grief-stricken beyond power of words to express "always, forever you know this forever your friend." it wa9 9 0 coc. ijy his watch when Hayward left his cave. Ho returned nt 11. u0 W!H priding himself, as ho descended ti10 stet)3. that, imnrcssiblo as ho had been to tho charms of his guest complete, incom- parable, they seemed to him, in form and voico and mind and clearly as ho had seen that gratitude in her was the quick key of love, tho key that hand his held ho had never, in tenderness for her isolation, conveyed to her, by word or look, tlio pas-ionate thought which had assured him by day and night that this waif of tho wild sea was the wo man among all woman destined to bo nearest his heart.
