BLUE BELL.
FIRST"FORK.
The first snow storm of the season came

bad to those who hadn't got their winter's
fire wood up yet.
Clarence E. Logue captured the first
bear of the season, for this section, on

county all got home safe and only a few
of them had been in jail.
Tony Mancuso and his gang of section
men, among whom were Mac. Logue and
Ralph Swank, came near going to "King
dom Come" on Thursday morning.
They pulled out on their hand car right

until it was almost onto them. They
only had time to jump, and the hand car
was struck, and badly smashed, as well
-as their dinner buckets, etc.
Chas. Counsel, of Sinnamahoning, came
up on Saturday and took a "snap shot"

any yet.

PRIZE ESSAY.
The Settlement of Jamestown
and the Thirteen Original Col
onies.
Jamestown, the first English town
permanently settled in the New World,
was founded in 1607. There the first
Americn Legislative Assembly met in
1619. Negro slaves were introduced
the same year. The cultivation of
tobacco built up commerce and largely
increased the population but did not
favor the growth of towns.
Now let us inquire something about
the character of the men who planted
this settlement. They were men poor
ly adapted to indure the hardships of
life in a new country. The settlers—
about one hundred in number—were
mostly men of gentle birth, unused to
labor. They had no families and came
here in search of wealth and adven
ture. The climate was unhealthful
and before the first autumn, half their
number including Gosnold, their lead
er, had perished. Then came romantic
John Smith, and saved the colony
from ruin. He taught the men how to
swing an ax, and declared that those
who would not work must not eat. He
taught them that industry and self-re
liance are the surest guarantees to for
tune Many interesting things are
told of John Smith in connection with
Jamestown. To tell all of these would
fill a large book. History loves to tell
us that one time he was captured by
the Indians and only saved from death
by the pleadings of a brave little Indian
girl named Pocahontas. This girlafter
ward did much for the colony and was
later married to one of the colonist,
John Rolfe. Many of the leading
families of Virginia have been proud
to say that the blood of Pocahontas
coursed through their veins. If you
were to take a trip up the James river
now all you would see of the settle
ment of Jamestown would be the ruins
of the old church. The crumbling
tower, with the arched doorways, ia al
most hidden by the schrubbery which
surrounds it. And this with a few
weather beaten tombstones is all thatre
mains of the first permanent EDglish
settlement in America.
Henry Hudson in 1609, sailed up the
river which bears his name. He was
an Englishman but was sailing under
the Dutch flag, so the Dutch took pos
sesion of the country and called it
New Netherlands. On Manliatten Is
land they founded the city of New
Amsterdam. England and France were
both jealous of the colony, and in 1664
England took possession of it and
named it New York in honor of James
Duke of York.
The Dutch first claimed possession of
what is now New Jersey. The English
Duke of York seized the country and
gave it to two of his friends, Lord
Berkley, and Sir George Carteret, nam
ing the province from the British Isle
of Jersey. A company then bought
the land, granting to the settlers most
of the priviliges of self-government.
In 1702 the Quaker proprietors sur
rendered their rights to the English
and New Jersey became a royal colony
until the Revolution.
Leaving these settlements in the
south let us go up the coast as far asCape
Cod Bay. Here on a stormy day in
Autumn 1620 a band of Pilgrims land
ed. The little band of one hundred
and two, men, women and children
had come over in the Mayflower, in
search of a place where they could wor
ship God as they pleased. They were
rugged, hearty class of people well
suited this wild country they had come
to subdue. Nevertheless they suffered
much during that first winter and half
of the little band perished either from
cold or starvation. Yet when spring
oomes and the Mayflower is ready to
sail for England not one of the Pil
grims thinks of returning with her.
They were rewarded for their per
severance and hard work for they left
us a colony, which in after years be
came one of the noblest states of this
grand Republic, Massachusetts. Mas
sachusetts was first of the colonies in
which her people assembled in town
meeting and established government
for the people and public schools for
the children.
New Hampshire originally formed
part of the Maine or the Mainland,
Euglsh colonists settled Dover and
Portsmouth. Emigrants from Massa
chusßets and Scotch-Irish later found
ed the towns of Exeter and London
derry. The Scotch-Irish set up the
manufacture of linen.
Connecticut was settled chiefly by
emigrants from Eastern Massachusetts
and from England. It was the first
colony in America to establish a writ
ten constitution of government —one
which gave the right of voting to
every citizen.
The colony of Maryland was planted
by Lord Baltimore an Englsh Cath
olic. He was the first in America to
establish feedom of worship for all
Christians. The peace of the colony
was broken by a civil war, and some of
Lord Baltimore's ememies withdrew
the government aud forbade the exer

more succeeded after a time in regain
ing his power and again granted free
dom of worship.
Rhode Island was bought by Roger
Williams and his friends from the In
dians for forty fathoms of white wam
pum, twenty hoes and ten coats.
Roger Williams was an exiled minister
from Massachusetts. lie was the first
to establish entire religious freedom in
this country. This principle now

by the Swedes as
New Sweden, was taken by the Dutch
and later by the English, who sold it
to William Penn. He governed it as a
part of Pennsylvania. When it be
came independent it took the name of
Delaware. After the revolution it was
the first state to adopt the constitution
of the United States.
Carolina, which was later divided in
to North and South Carolina, was
settled by emigrants from Virginia,
by English and also Hugonots o
French Protestants. North Carolina
engaged in the manufacture of tar
pitch and turpentine; South Carolina
began the culture of rice and indigo,
both of which proved very profitable.
William Penn founded the colony of
Pennsylvania, which was named after
his father. He gave the people the
right to take part in making the laws,
and all persons believing in God were
protected in their religion. He made
a treaty of peace with the Indians which
was sacredly kept.
Georgia, the last of the thirteen
colonies, and the richest in its natural
advantages was settled by English
emigrants brought over by General
Oglethrope, as a work of charity.
Slavery and the importation of spirit
liquors was at first forbidden but later
both were allowed.
