CATAWISSA.
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.

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,

THE COLUMBIAN. VOIi. X. NO.
COLUMIUA DIIMO-HAT, VOL. M( "
Under tho neawnrd gato of this cavern in
tho cliff lay n horscshoe'shaped curvature
f beach. 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 . As wo arc off at 3 p. m. to-day on a
boating excursion to tlio Islo of , I havo
nil my piscatorial preparations yet to make,
nnd must necessarily be brief.
"Postponing, then, a full narration of
minor Incidents until wo meet, I will do-
scribe to you merely tho experienco which, I
am suro (considering tho captivating person-
nel of our host irresistible, I am told, to
vouclrls.l will interest vou and your sister
my evening at Tom Hayward'- cave.
Twn nr tlirpn fnllnvvs of Havwaril fl Ret
ave indulBcd in tho luxury of caves down
ere; and tho fitting up of tho sea fating
caves lias been a rage this season. But
nothing, so far, compares to his. We wcro
invited down tnsnend hut cveninir an in
formal Invitation to C and X and
myself. Tho approach, directly seaward
from tho road, nnd wild in tho extreme, has.
l.nnn sninmvlinr imUtnl l.v nrt. A tiled
exeavatlnn leads liv a fantastically lichted
pasture into a cavern some thirty fect, I
should think, above high water mark, open
ing in wido mouth directly upon the sca.and
owing to a gully beneath it, wliicli forces tho
aves into curious columns more vociferous
than 'howling wilderness,' dashed wildly by1
pray, and for several fect with the
gcd entrance made slippery with sea-
ceils.
"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. Could you seo tho ram
pant meleo of vandals who havo just flocked
into my not spacious room, you would know
why. I will continue- my cavo story in my
next lor there is a finis, Hut if the fishing
is good, wo may remain nt tho island till
Saturday ; so do not bo anxious if you re-
ceivo no word till Monday's mall, Mean
whilo accept, with my reminlsccneo of the
sweetest music I ever heard, tho dearest
icallzation 01 iriciiu.siiip mat so lar has
blessed the fond but frowned-on heart of
your faithful CiiAiii.r.s,'
Not one of Tom, Hayward's comrades
conjectured tho reason of his refusal made
at tho hist moment to accompany the fish
iug excursion planned by himself.
Twilight of that memorablo day fuiind
him nt tho now carefully kept locked gate'
way of his cave, exploring tlio labels of
manifold packages deposited upon tho broad
pavlng-stono curbing tho postern gate. All

Ah, tho strange, unworld-like, child-like,
devout happiness of that night 1 Hayward
actually bccuiled his guest into the cxtrava-
ganza of smiles, tho unknown rarity of her
vnntin lin.
Had tho wholo aspect ol licr piaco oi

vent to tho C.1VC, would not havo been so
readily counteracted. This placo of rest was
to her a completo now world. Sho had been
dead, and como to life. 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."

Hayward left his cave. Ho returned nt 11.

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.
Ho prided himself upon tho Bilencethat
was to wreak upon him from that hour foith
the ceaseless slaying of regret.
Unlocking tho gate, lie gave the bigunl of
return ; ho entered the enshrining spaco with
the joyous pulse of expectation. Thcsilcnco
at first did not shock him, the emptiness of
the dimly illuminated corridor opening up
on tho wide sea did not at unco alarm, lio
waited for tho tremulous uplifting of that
curtain which hadbecomo to him deliciously
mystorious, liko tho veil of n bride.
lie waited, but sho came not. Ho sought
her at last with tho wild impulse of 0110
stricken with tho remorse-liko drendofim
Inevitable fate. What storms swept through
his breast as ho tore each curtain from its
place, as ho stretched his groping hands
into each duckling niche, as ho knew step
by step tho growing knowledge that sho had
left liim, that sho was gone gono back for
ever into tho breast of the dark wavo upon
whoso crest sho had been ono moment lif
ted to see that lifo may bo, might be, per
haps, sweet ; what storms swept his breast,
tho wildest leap and most despairing wall
ing ol tho sea, that year nnd year dashed
up beside tho lonely cavern to teach It tho
woes of tho vast abyss, wero in comparison
but a fairy rlpplo and a whispered laugh.
Every heart hides its own Avernus, But
strango It seems that a man like Tom Hay
ward, the jovial boon companion of careless,
fortunate young men, tho brieht-hearted
favorite of tho girls, tho generous, tho gay
tho smiling, honored guest at tho feast of
life, should havo learned that fatal descent.
