VALZAH. in the Williamsport Gazette and Bulletin: This is the only family of the name in the United States, and within the limit of a hundred years it has produced more physicians than any other family known to be in existence. Dr. Robert VanVals zah, the ancestor, was of Hollandish de- scent. He was born near Croton River, New York, April 17, 1764, * * Atthe age of 22 he found him- self at Sunbury penniless. Being anx- ious to make his way to Buffalo Valley he stated his circumstances to a man named Beatty. and he promptly gave him a shilling to pay his ferriage across the river, This kind act made such an impression on the mind of young Van: Valzah that he never forgot it, and as the sequel will show when fortune smiled Having studied medicine in the mean- time, he located at Buffalo Cross Roads | about the year 1796, and commenced his profession. He rose rapidly, attained distinction as a physician, and his ser- vices were constantly im demand. His practice extended into the present co uo- ties of Mifflin, Centre, Juniata, Snyder, Northumberland and Lycoming. Dr. Robert Van Valzah died April 18, 1850, aged 85 years, He left four sons | and three daughters, as follows, Robert, | Thomas, John, William, Elizabeth, Jane and Margaret. Two of these sons, Robs ert and Thomas became eminent prac- titioners of medicine, Dr. Robert VanValzah, the second, who settled in Mifflinburg, had seven | sons, five of whom became physicians, as follows: 1. Dr. Robert F, VanValzah, of 8 Milis, Pa: pring Pa. 3. Dr.John H. not practice. | 4. Dr.Samnuel B, VanValzah, | Durand, Ill, b. Dr. B. L.

He was the only son who had children. From him, therefore, all the descendants in | this country originated; and although ig | it is remarkable that there is no other family bearing the same name in this | gountry. The gratitude shown by the progenis tor of tris family to Mr, Beaty, who be. | friended him when he came to this val- | ley penniless and friendless, is one of | the noblest acts known to the avpals of | history. | tor, died he left a daughter whose mind was slightly impaired. She was ever afterwards cared for in the family of Dr. Van Valzah; aud when he died he left | provision for her in his will, aud she was | maintained on theold farm at Buffalo | Cross Roads until her death, which oc. | curred in 1875. | . - | Arrestof W. HH. Houtz, William H. Houtz, a former dealer in agricultural implements at Lewistown, who left very suddenly a couple of years ago, and against whom indictments were found on charges of forgery, was capturs od on Friday evening last in Dubuque, Iowa. Houlz was seen on the streets there and recognized by a former Penns sylvanian, who told a prominent rail roader who he was and that he was wan- ted here for forgery. The railroad mao, by a little detective work, found that the man’s name was really W. H. Hout, and he then communicated with the Sheriff, who went to the Merchants hotel, where he found Houtz in bed and placed him onder arrest. The Dubuque Times says: “At first Houtz denied ever having been in Lewistown, but he soon broke down and, while he did not confess, his des meanor was that of a guilty man. Houtz claims to be traveling from town to town selling a patent bat rack of hisown ins vention.” RE — Facts for all In spite of all competition the Philad Branch clothing store, remains headquar ters for actual rgaing in ready made clothing, for men and boys. lLewins in- troduced cheap clothing in Centre county, and has kept it at that all the time; he kept honest goods, no trash, and, as a rile, always sold from 25 to 30 percent. below any other clothing store in this part of the state, - “ =.
