Misconception.
ISY FRANK WILLING LEACH.
'Twas but an idle word !
She thought it uttered with ntent to smart;
But yet her own hand held the venomed dart
That pierced, unwittingly, her shieldiess heart,
And, like some weary, nestless bird,
In solitude I sit and weep apart.
'Twas but a thoughtless line !
She deemed it writ with harsh iroaie pen ;
Yet could she but have known my soul-thoughts
when
I wrote the fatal w rds, I know that then
her love would burn as bright as mine.
Alas! how filmed and narrow mortal ken !
'Twas but a simple jest!
She fancied it possessed of subtle stings,
Forgetting all my heart's sweet whisperings',
Her love, if e'er it lived, took rapiu wings :
And straightway then within her breast
Were dried affection's thirst-appeasing springs.
'Twas she that erred ! and tho'
My heart in bitterness doth weep and bleed;—
Tho', like some storai-swayed, solitary reed,
Bent low by winter winds that sweep the mead,
I fall before the blasts of woe,
I ne'er shyl kneel to her, nor, slave-like, plead.

The Pitchr of Cold Wilier.
"It is such a pity," said Mrs. Lee, and
she turned her eyes from the window.
Kate, her little daughter, siood near her
looking out upon the road, a small, blue.
eyed, cherub-like creature. A man had
just passed, and it was of hint the lady
said, "It is such a pity."
"A greater pity flig his wife and chil
dren," replied Mrs. Lee's sister.
"Oh. dear It's a pity for all of them,"
said Mrs. Lee, in quite a troubled voice.
•'Why doesn't the man drink cold water
when he is dry, and not pour burning
liquor down his throat ? I've thought
wore than once -of meeting him with a
cool glass of water as he came by, hoping
he would turn back to his .shop and not
keep on to Huber's tavern."
"That would be too pointed," said the
sister.
"It might do rood," Mrs. Le.e vtent on.
"Suppose he did feel a little,atihoyed, he
would hardly refuse the cool,:'4,ltifik, and
once taken he might not f2etAS litrongly
drawn toward Huber's tavern•- ¶he rwxt
time I saw him coming I'd-eire;th-e-drink
again, and with a pleasant, worst.- I could
ask about his wife and childien;and§boiv*
that I felt interested. I'm sure, sister,
good would come of it "
The sister did not f',Al so hopeful "It
will take more than a glass of water to sat
isfy his fiery thirst, and then, you know,
that Barclay is easily off:.trided. He would
understand just what you meant, I fear,
and grow angry and abusive " -
don't believe it would make him au
gry to offer him a coDi drink of water:"
The child, who had been li4tanip*Jdairuk
mother and aunt, said this quite earnestly.
The two women looked at each other,
but did not answer her.
Mr. Barclay was a carpenter. lit had
been very well off, but would take a glass
of liquor now and then. This led him into
the company of those who visit taverns,.
and by them he, was' often drawn away
from shop and home So neglect of bush
ness was added to the vice of drinking,
and the carpenter's way in the world turn
ed downward.
Mr. Barclay bad several children. The
youngest was nau►ed Fanny, and the was
just, four years old. He was very fond of
her, and often struggled with his appetite
on her account. Many tines had he gone
backward and forward before the tavern
door,
LOVE FOR FANNY PLEADING AGAINST
LOVE FOR RUM,
and urging him to spend the few peonies in
his pact for a toy, or some candies, in
stead of beer. For the dreadful thirst for
drink has alwa)s got the mastery. Poor
man.
011 the morning after Mrs. Lee and her
sister were talking about him, it happened
that Mr. Barclay was without a penny in
his pocket. What was he to do ? Not a
single glass of liquor could be had at flu
ber's tavern, for he was in debt there, and
they had refused to trust him until the
old score was paid. But how was he to
go through all that day without a drink ?
The very thought quickened his craving
thirst.
lie opened a bureau drawer to get a
handkerchief, when something met his
eyes that made him pause with a strange
expression of face. lie stood gazing with
an irresolute air, and then shutting the
drawer quickly turned away and walked
to the other side of the room. For some
time he remained there, his back to the
drawer. A bitter struggle was going on
in his mind. Alas! be was not strong
enough for this conflict.
Slowly, step by step, listening, looking
just like a thief, Mr. Barclay returned to
the bureau, and opened the drawer.
What did be bring forth ? It was a lit
tle wooden box, only a few inches square;
he had made it himself of fine dark wood
for his dear little Fanny. The pennies
were few, but all Elie had received for
many months were in this box. She was
saving them to buy a present for her lath
cr at Christmas.
A desperate look was in Mr. Barclay's
face as he clutched the box. Hurriedly he
took from his pocket a small screw driver,
and in a minute or two the lid was off.
Half the pennies were emptied into his
pocket, and then the lid replaced and the
box returned to the drawer.
He had scarcely taken a breath while
the box was in his hand. Now he sat
down, like one suddenly robbed of strength
and panted. .The dark flush went off his
face, and he looked pale.and guilty.
"Papa !" It was Fanny herself. The
loving child came in and put her arms
about his neck. He felt as clasped in a
vise. It was as much as he could do to
keep from pushing her with strong arms
away.
"Arc you sick, papa ?" The child had
caught a glimpse of his pale, disturbed
countenance.
"I don't feel very well," he answered.
His voice had so strange a sound to h' , 3
own ears that it seemed as if some one
else were speaking.
"I'm so sorry," and Eqnny drew her
arms tighter around his neck. kissing him.
This was more than the wretched man
could bear. Rising hurriedly, and almost
shaking off his child, he left the house
and started for the shop. He did not go
to work immediately, but sat down on his
bench. lie had no heart fur work just
then.
"Oh, Jim Barclay !" he cried out at
last, in a tone of mingled shame and an.
guish, "that you should come to this !"
HUNTINGDON, PA , FRIDAY JUNE 27, 1879.
Ile got up and walked about like one
bewildered. Just then a man rode up to
the door of his shop. "Is that shutter
ready for me ?" lie asked.
"It will be done to-morrow," answered
the carpenter, hardly noticing what was
said to him.
"Just what you told me yesterday," said
the man roughly.
"TILE FACT IS, JIM BARCLAY,"
lie added, "there's no dependence in you
any longer, anti I shall take my work
somewhere else."
He was in no mood to bear patiently a
hard speech from any one; so he replied
as roughly and the customer rode off in
anger. Barclay stood looking after him,
his Excitement gradually coolitig until the
blindness of passion 1119 gone."
"Foolish every way !" he muttered,
turning slowly'to Lis wort: "much and ta
king a plane. "It wasn't so once. No
dependence in Jin4 _Barclay."
He was hurt by the accusation. The
time was when no mechanic in the neigh
borhood could be more depended upon. If
Barclay promised a piece of work, it was
sure to be ready. Alas how changed! He
was just as fair in promise now—just as
sincere perhaps when his word was given
—but in performance how slow ! Ile
would start in earnest every clay and get
on very well until the desire for liquor
grew strong enough to tempt him off to
iluber's tavern for a dfink. After that
no one could count on him.
Some panels of the unfinished shutter
lay on Barclay's bench. He began to grow
worried just as it had been with,bitn many
times. But where to begin hip 4 . y's work
—which of his neglected customers to
serve first, he did not know. his hands
were unsteady ; a sense of heaviness weigh
ed down his limbs; in body and mind lie
felt wretched. He thought of Huber's
tavern and a refreshing glass. Just .one
glass, and his shattered nerves would be
steadier for the day's work. Then he
thought of the pennies in his pocket, the
treasure of his dear little Fanny, stolen
from her that morning ; and such shame
fell upon his heart that ie sat down on his
work bench and groaned in pain.
"I'LL GET ONE GLASS,"
be said, starting up, "for I must have
something to put life into me. The pen
nies are only borrowed, and I'll return
them two for one. Just one glass to make
me all right." and off lie started for the
tavern.
Between the shop and tavern was a
pleasant cottage. Mr. Barclay was nearly
.opposite this cottage, when out ran a child,
biding in her tittle hands a small glass
pitcher fall 3l'-water, Ler golden hair toss
ing in the (wand.. She was , abpuf Fanny's
age; and - beautiful as a cherub.
"Won't you have a cool drink, Mr. Bar
clay ?" said the child, stopping before him
and offering her pitcher, while her earn
est, tendei eyes, blue as violets, were lifted
to his face.
Surprised and startled by this sudden
vision of innocence and beauty, Mr. 13,,r
Atlay did not hesitatefor an instant, but
took the pitcher drank ' almost at a'
single draught every drop of the pure cold
water.
"Thank you, nly dear," dropped fr.na
his lips as he handed back the empty ves
sel, and then he stoored and kiSsed the
child. She did not turn from him -and go
back into the house, but stood between
him and the tavern, gazing up into his
face. lle took a step forward. The child
caught his hand. "Oh don't, Mr. Bar
clay !" she cried eagerly, and in such a
pleading voice that her tones went further
down into his heart than human tones had.
gone for a long time.
"p9,.<I.,NXIIAT, LITTLE DARLING r
he asked; bending toward her in new sur
prise.
”Don't go to lluber'a any more," an
swered the child.
9.,
Mr. Barclay drew himself up,and stood
as still as a statue. The child looked at
him with a half scared expression, but Sbe
kept firmly hold of his hand. Suddenly
catching his breath, he stooped quickly
and touched the child's fair forehead with
his lips. He said not a word, turned le -
olutely, and went stfiding down the road 1
in the direction of his shop.
From the window of the cottage mother
and aunt looked on the scene in surprise.
The act was her own. : They had no hint
of her purpose until they saw her crossing
the road with the pitcher of water in her
hand. Her own act did I say ? Let the
lift your thoughts higher. God's love and
pity for the poor drunkard had flowed into
the little child's heart, and moved her to
do just what she did. So it was God act
ing through her, just as He acts through
every one of us when we try to do good to
others. Think of this. God working
through us—making us angels of mercy.
Mr. Barclay returned to his shop, took
off his coat and went,to work. The Cool
water, but more the good resolutions the
child had awakened in his heart, gave tone
and refreshment to body and mind. His
nerves, all unstrung when he started for
the tavern, were steady now. No tremor
ran through his hand as he grasped the
mallet, chisel, or plane. He worked with
a pleasure not felt for a long time.
After an hour this feeling began to wear
off, and the old heaviness and thirst for
liquor returned. His thought went to
Ilubee's tavern, and the tempting liquor
there. But there was something in the
way that he could not pars; not fierce
lions, but a pure and innocent child. He
felt sure that when she saw him coming
along the road she would meet him with
her sweet ph ading face and pitcher of
water, and that to pass by would be im
possible.
"GO AROUND BY THE OLD MILL,"
said the tempter, "and the child will not
see you."
He hearkened a moment, and then, with
an almost angry tone, said:
"No, no, no! God's angel met me in
an evil path and turned me back. I will
not go round by any other way."
There was a spring not far from his
shop. He drank freely at this, and, then
refreshed, took up his work again. How
clear his mind was—clearer than it had
been for a long time. Like a beautiful
picture was the image of that lovely child
meeting him in the road and offering her
pitcher of cold water. It was always be
fore him, and the longer he looked upon
it the softer his heart became, and the
stronger his good resolutions.
For the first time in months Mr. Bar
clay came home that evening sober and in
his right mind. What throbs of joy his
pulse gave as he saw the look of happy
surprise in his poor wife's face, and felt
the delight of dear little Fanny's heart as
she sprang into his arms and hugged him
in a way that told what a new gladness
was in her soul. Not until he had re
turned the pennies to her box did the red
spot of shame fade off from his manly
cheeks.
Mr. Barclay was never seen in Huber's
tavern again, nor in any other tavern.
"If," he said to a friend, years after
ward, "the old desire came back, and my
Noughts went off toward Huber's tavern, it
never got past the white cottage, for out
from its porch I would always see coming
to meet me, pitcher in hand, that heaven
sent child, and to have passed her would
have been impossible."
Visa
Lovers' Trials
There are some things almost too sacred
to be given to the public for ten cents,
but the following case of fiendish revenge
ought to go on record, if only to make an
important addition to the curiosities of
crime. On Sutton street, between Mason
and Leavenworth, stands the house of one
of the prettiest young ladies in town, and
almost directly opposite is the residence of
her "steady company," a young broker's
clerk. The infatuated couple had conceiv
ed the idea of connecting their rooms by
means of a string telephone, stretching it
from one window to the other, and the
ends of which were placed under their
respective pillows when they retired. By
this contrivance a gentle tug, at irregular
intervals during the night, was all that
was necessary to inform one fond heart on
the north side of the street that the other
on, the south had just awakened, and be
fore sinking into blissful dreams desired to
coo a few nocturnal murmurs to the other.
These tender preparations, however, were
gloomily marked by another young gentle-
On in the neighborhood, who, we regret
to say, had been heartlessly jilted by the
young lady a short time previous. The
very first night this scientific love making
was in progress this discarded youth re
paired late to the spot with dissolute corn
panions, and managed to climb up and
cut the cord in the middle. They then at
tached longer pieces to the two ends, and
ran them through the window of a bar
room at the corner below. And there, we
are ashamed to say, for the rest of the
night these hardened reprobates sat send

other, and listening with demoniac chuck

True Grit.
A Methodist parson in Nevada has pub
licly declined to abandon John Chinaman.
Tbe r 4ev. Mr., Gerber went to, (;crass_
ley from Sacramento, taking with him a
Mongolian man-of all work. The members
of the flock liked the shepherd, but , hated
the shepherd's dog, and. it was not long
before the board of stewards demanded the
expulsion of the Chinaman. The minister
assured them that John had lived with
him a very long. time, was a tolerable
Christian, and an exceedingly good fellow,
and there was no reason why he should be
discharged from service. The stewards
subsequently renewed the attack, and in
funned the parson that they would not pay
his salary if he refused to dismiss the
Celestial. The reply was "Come to church
next Sunday evening." The church was
crowded on the evening in question, and
the sermon was awaited with breathless in
tercet. The pastor's reference to the Chi
nese question was brief but pointed. "The
stewards have told me that unless I dis
charge the Chinaman in my employ they
will no longer be responsible for my salary.
My wife has learned to like John ✓ because
be is a good Christian, thinks so much of
us, and does his work so faithfully. I
now answer you once for all that the Chi
Inman shall stay with us and I shall con
tinue as pastor of this church until the
Conference sees fit otherwise to direct -me,
salary or no salary, starve or no starve !
I have never yet been intimidated from
what I consider my duty as a Christian,
and do not propose to be now! Brethren,
it strikes me pretty forcibly that it would
be better for you to follow the religion
taught in the Bible than that dealt out on
the Sand Lots in San Francisco " Preju
dice is prejudice, but grit is also grit.—
There was applause from every side of the
church, and when the preacher left the
pulpit a prominent member of the congre
gation stepped up to him and said : "Par
son, you have partaken of my hospitality
in the past many a time. Recollect that
my latch-string hangs on the outside when
you come that way. There is a crust in
ley cupboard when your salary fails."
Hints for Everybody.
The way to get credit is to be puuctual;
the way to preserve it is not to use it
much.
Trust no man's appearance; appearances
are deceitful, perhaps assumed for the pur
pose of obtaining credit.
The rich are plain ; trust him, if any
one, who carries but little on his back.
Never trust him who flies into a passion
on being dunned, but make him pay quick
ly if there be any virtue in the law.
Whenever you meet a man who is fond
of argument, you will meet one profound
ly ignorant of the operations of the hu
man heart.
Mind your own affairs. Let the errors
you see in other's management suggest
correctness in your own.
The true secret of living at peace with
all the world is to have an humble opinion
of ourselves.

Every year he went to Washington, and
his voice was often heard in the halls of
Congress. Yet, though he was called great,
he was n.)t good, because he was very fond
of drinkinc , wine, brandy, etc., and fre
quented the gambling rooms so numerous
in that city. These habits gained upon him
daily, until they conquered all his moral
strength. his townsmen refused to send
him as their delegate any longer.
Judge Rose had an amiable wife and
three pretty daughters. Mary, the eldest,
was his special pet He thought more of
her than of himself, and no wish of hers
went ungratified. She was of' a sweet dis
position, and so obedient and respectful to
her parents, and kind to every one about
her, that she was beloved by everybody.
And, although her father's dwelling was
the mest elegant, and they had beautiful
grounds, and fine clothes, she never put
on airs, as many do, but was modest and
retiring. • _ _
Mr. Rose and his wife and daughters
were all members of a Christian church.
He was often suspended from its fellow
ship, and on promises of repentance, re
ceived again. His influential position in
society, and the pious conduct of his wife
and daughters, caused much pity for them
and elicited much patience. They hoped
by love and forbearance to restore him
wholly. But all the love of his family
and of the church could not stop this err
ing man in his downward course.
At fast so low did he fall as to lose all
self' respect, and frequent the lowest whis
ky shops in the town. Daily he went out
unshaved, unwashed, ragged, and almost
naked, and when drunk would sing some
low song, which would draw around him a
crowd of boys to jeer and laugh, and scorn
the once dignified and respected judge. In
personal appearance he was now the lowest
of the low.
It is not to be supposed that Christian
and temperance men allowed such a man
to ruin hims3lf without efforts to save him.
Earnest and persevering endeavors were
put. forth, prayers were offered up, and his
family left no avenue to his heart unen
tered, but all were alike useless and hope
less. Ills wife and daughters wept and
prayed, but despaired entirely.
Mary. his pet, often labored to save her
father from open disgrace, if not franc pri
vate sin. She became very sad, and re
fused to attend church, or go into society.
When her father was sober, he had sense
enough to perceive the sorrowful change
in his once 'happy Mary, and seemed to re
gret his course wore for her sake than his
own.
One morning he started as usual fbr the
drinking shop. lie was a terrible object,
indecent to look at, as well as filthy. His
wife tried to hold him hack, and get him,
at least, to put on some decent clUthiug,
but he would not yield. Mary made h-er
appearance by his side, clothed in rags,
low at the neck, bare armed and bonnet
with saoldmy botch iud:
Taking her fatheesiarni, she said, "Come,
father, I'm going too."'
Going where ?" said he, staring at Ler
as if horror struck.
"To the dram shop. What's good for
you is good fur me."
The she began to flourish her bottle
and sing one of the low songs she had heard
him sing in the streets.
"Go back girl, you are crazy; mother
take her in."
"But I am going, father, with you, to
ruin my soul and body. It is of no use
for me to be good, while you are going off
to the bad place. You'll be lonely there
without your Mary."
"Go away, girl, you'll drive me mad."
"But you have been mad for 'a long
time, and lam going mad, too. What do
I care? My father is only a poor, old, de
spised drunkard ; his daughter may as well
get drunk and lay in the gutter, too."
So Mary pulled away at her father's
arm, and went on to the gate. He drew
back; she still hung on and sung louder.
A few boys began to run towards them,
and then her father broke from her hold
and went into the house; there be sat
down, and putting his face in his hands,
wept and sobbed aloud. Still Mary staid
out.
"What is the matter ?" said Mrs. Rose,
"Mary is crazy, and I have made her so.
I'wish I was dead. Do go and get her in.
I won't go out to•day."
Mrs. Rose went out and told Mary what
her father bad said, and then she went in.
She sat down with her bottle in her hand,
and all the day she kept on her old rags.
Mr. Rose was in a terrible state fur want
of his accustomed stimulus, and frequently
would go to the . door, but Mary was ready
at his side on every occasion. Mrs. Rose
prepared the meals with extra care, and
gave her husband cups of good strong cot=
fee, and the latter part of the day be lay
down to sleep. When be woke up, Mary
was still there in her rags, and her bottle
by her side.
With much trembling and .shaking he
put on a good suit of clothes and asked
his wife for a barber. Then after tea he
said. '•I ant going out."
"Where r'
"To the Temperance Hall. Go with
me, and see if I do not go there."
So Mrs. Rose went with him to the door
of the ball, Mary still saying, "I must
follow, for I'm afraid he'll go to the whis
ky shop without me."
But his wife saw him go up the stairs
and enter the meeting room, and the door
closed upon him. Then she and Mary
went home to rejoice with trembling at
the success of their stratagem.
Surprise, joy, and some diztrust perva
ded the minds of the assembly of temper
ance brothers when Mr. Rose walked in.
He was invited forward, and asked to
speak whatever he wished.
He rose and told the tale of the day,
and added, "When I saw my angel daugh
ter was transformed into a low, filthy crea
ture ; when I knew how much lower she
would have to descend if she went with
me, I abhorred myself. She vowed she
would go everywhere I went, and do every
thin..' I did. Could I see her do that ?
Her loveliness stained, her character ruin
ed—she pure as an angel ! No, sirs !if
it kills me I will leave off and never touch,
taste or handle more from this night,
henceforward and forever.- And now,
gentlemen, help me to be a man again."
The building vibrated with the cheer
ing, stamping and clapping, and a gush of
song rose from those manly hearts which
might have been heard for miles. Oh !
"there is joy in heaven over one sinner
that repenteth," and should there not be
joy on earth ?
We hope God converted the soul, of Mr.
Rose, for he became a good man, and his
family was happy. But we hope no other
daughter will have to resort to so painful
a remedy to save a father.

ARTICLE XII
THEIR ADVENT INTO PENNSYLVANIA
Secretary Peters was in the habit of
saying, that the Shawanese came into this
Province about 1698 or 1701. Of late, his
torians have discovered that as they were
a party to the treaty of Win. Penn in 1682,
there must have been some of them here
at that date. Another has gone so far as
to venture the assertion, that "from the
best authority seventy families of Shawa
nese came from Caroliret as early as 1673,
and occupied some deserted posts on the
Lower Susquehanna." Some have regarded
these as wild claims. But a map of Vander
Donk, published in 1656, there will be
found ,S'auwanoos, on the Delaware, above
Philadelphia; and they are mentioned by
De Leat, as in this locality as early as 1632.
De Leat was a navigator, and got his -in
formation while ou the Delaware river.
He enumerates the various tribes in that
region and says : "Some persons add to
them the Sharrannes" Even Hendrick
son, the Dutch navigator, in one of his
maps, (1614,) mentions the Sawwanew in
this localit. There is an inscription on
John Mitchell's map of 1755, in speaking
of the conquests of the Iroquois to the
Illinois river, it says those "subdued were
incorporated with the ancient Chamianons
(Shawanese), the native proprietors of
these countries and the river Ohio." And
again, in speaking of the Shawanese then
settled in Ohio who had come frOm Penn
sylvania, it says: "Those about Philadel
pliia who were called S'auwanoos, we now
now call Shawanoes or Shawnoes." Mark,
the spelling is that of Vander Donk 99
years previous. (Dr. Barton says their
proper name is Sawwannoo or Sawanos.)
So there is no telling when the first of
them came. It is certain that, after 1700
they greatly increased. I suggest it is
possible, even, that the Sauwanoos, so
called, were a tenni Leriape tribe, having
the same name, or one so nearly like it,
that the names assimilated and the tribeP
have since been confounded. Roger Wil
liams says the New England Indians lo

A LANGUAGE .LEEISON.
The language of the Sbawanesc differed
verymuchfriotn Molt 'et j the Alganquin
tribes. Tht'of 'lnuch
more resemblance to the 'Delaware
Lenape than either of thes;,' had' eci 'the
Shawanese. This' variation had:i. cause
in past history. -It arose from a longer
separation *on? the parent stock; from
greater Contaceitiilitritte'Sofother tongues;
from occupying 'a pogition which made
them traders in copper' and other articles
between distant tribes ; and perhaps 'More
than alf, from the adoption of the captives
of foreign nations with whore they Waged
wars. They were, therefore, probably
with the Cherokees, the advance from the
northwest, that met the Mound Builders,
turning southward, whilethaeni Lenatie'
came eastward' following' th lakes. In:
1669 La Salle wanted the Senecas ,to give
hrm a Shawanese captive for aguide in
exploring the Ohio, but they told Mtn that
the people living there, called Toagenha
or Otoagannha, "a people speaking a cor
rupt .Algonkin," would kill him in the
night, and that he would run a great risk
before reaching them of meetino• c' the On
tastois (Andastes). No doubt they were
the same as father Garnier below quoted
calls Ontouagannha or Chaoung (Shawn:
nese).
OTHER. BRANCHES OF THE SHAWANESE.
It seems also that a portion of them lo
cated on the Miami in Ohio. In 1672,
they seem to have been allies of the An
dantes, an extinct tribe of the Huron Iro
quois family, located southwest of the
Senecas; on the head waters of the Alle
gheny and West Branch of Susquehanna.
After the Iroquois had destroyed these
Audastes, in. 1672, they attacked and
scattered the Shawauese. Father Garnier
was among the Senecas during this year,
and according to .the Jesuit Relatione,
there arrived a Chaouang (Shawanese) cap
tive, whom the good father converted and
baptized at once, and he expresses the be•
lief that he entered heaven the same day
he arrived at Tsonnontouan. Some of this
branch above named seem never to have
left the Ohio valley, but remained till in
1727 to 1755 they were joined by their
kindred from the Susquehanna. Ia 1684,
says Gallatin, the French complained that
the Five Nations had attacked the Miamia;
and the Five Nations assigned as the
cause, the fad that the Miumis had in
vited into their country the • Satanas (the
name by which the Shawanese are called
by Colden ) Father Do Lamberville, in
1684, says. the Iroquois have turned the
musket towards tie Chaouennoos.".
HOSPITALITY REPAID BY INGRATITUDE,
La 1698 William Penn allowed a lot of
them to settle on Conestoga, in Lancaster
county. This was allowed by intercession
of the Conestogas or Mi❑quas who pledged
themselves in security for their good be
havior. Sad and bitter were the fruits of
this hospitality. Devastation and blood
shed, annoyance and impudence, were the
fruits which their base ingratitude prompted
them to return to Pennsylvania, for allow
ing them a home upon her soil.
In 1704, it is stated, that "Martin Char
tier,
a Frenchman, who has long lived
among the Shawanah Indians and upon
Sasquehanna," &c., was examined. This
showed that the father of the notorious
Peter Chartier must have been longer
among the Shawanese than 1698, the date
given by Peters. In 1707 a portion of
them in Carolina were besieged by the Flat
Heads (Choctaws), who were employed by
the whites. When these "strange Indians
from Carolina" came to Conestoga, the
Government was not well pleased with the
idea of their presence. Their king was
Opessah.
THEIR WESTWARD MARCH.
After twenty-five years (1723) we find
them at Paxton, near Harrisburg. Then
they spread to various points up the Sus-
quehsnna and Juniata. In 1727, a iat of
them passed over the Allegheny mountains
and settled on the Ohio—this was caused
by fcar of pu,nishment, by the The Na
tions, for some mischief, which their young
men had committed. As early as 1728
the Sir Nations had placed the well known
Shikellamy at'Sbatnokin, for the special
purpose of overseeing tho affairs of the
Shawanese, who must then have bee. un-
WlO L. 71101 UII/111[3A. -xu
they were in. MIES , conn ey.and &cram n
called Ohesson—of these, Kishacoquillas,
whose name is immortalized io the Big
valley, was their chief. They had three
towns on the Conemaugh creek. In . 11`32
the Governor speaks of their possible force
in war as, "a thousand fierce fellows, for,
or against us." In 1732, according to
another authority, they had TOO Waling
men ; and manifested already a warm side
for the French. An unsuccessful effort
was made in 1733 to induce them to return
to a reservation i-n Cumberland- county.
They wanted to hold the land without
settling upon it. •
YAMOYDEN,
THEY BECOME OPEN ENEMrES.
Like the Delawares. with whom they
much associated, they gradually receded
westward ; and like them, after Braddock's
defeat, many of them were thoroughly
identified with the French. They also be
came insolent, and laid claim to own lands
and wanted to be paid for them. The
private records of the French at Pittshilrgh
and Montreal are full pf the dep1e440,132
they were sent to commit on the border
settlers. When the fortunes of the French
. -
failed, they became more pensive, hto in
1763, they were very con i spiOnlis - iii7tlie
Pontiac Conspiracy. They were iSpeeitily
treacherous ; deceitful and utatvuetwooshy.
They would take presents at the Quletlier
Conferences, make solemn promises, and
stealthily murder the border_ settlers on
the way home.
NA.MBS OF TOWNS AND ,GELEAT
In their wanderings they left their
names scattered all over the country. Dequa
was their town, in Lancaster county, °ailed
after a sub tribe named Pickawees Shaw
nee towns were everywbctre. Sikiviot i ci i rpr
and Chouanen (now Cumberland,) riser,
are also marks of their presence. The
branch that did not come north, wont
among the Creeks. They were caged
Savannas, and have left their name to the
river and city effteergia. Tecumseh, and
his brother the Prophet, were Sivishiseile.

OTHER TRIBES OP THE -PROVINCE:
Be'sides the Delawares and Shawanese,
there were ta few otter tribes, that figured
somewhat is Pennsylvania hiptory. The
tribe called, by the Dutch, Minquas, and
by •the Virginians, Sa,squehannecics, and
along with others by the Frencp,Mutes,
and whose little remant tiers 'long 'mown

in illustrating the very early histpriortfie
Juniata region. .
NANTICOKES AND CCiNOtS.
There was originally a small tribe re
siding on the Peninsula, between the bays
of Chesapeake and Delaware, ealied. the
Nanticokes. Capt. Smith,found thsna§ast

above Conestoga at "Connejaghera, above
the Fort," in 176 - - In that year, being
reduced to a small number by sickness,
they desired permission of the Proprietary
to settle near Talpheckin. Up to 1743
they were at the "Conoy town," higher up
the Susquehanna; and t.bey then began to
move up to the mouth of the Juoiata and
to Shamokin. They do not seem to have
passed up the Aniata, bat; about 1/48,
there were many of them about •the Island
at the mouth of the river. In 1749 they
wanted pay for the Lands where they had
formerly lived by sufferance. The desire
for the rewards gained by 'Selling_ lands by
the Six Nations, about this time, became
contagious, and every, tribe that had wan
dered into the Province, which had gen
erously given theta a home in peace, now
wanted pay for lands. The Nanticokes, tbe
parent stock, themselves,then came into
the Province, and generaly - lived with or
near the Conoys. They all gradually
passed up the North Branch, where some
of them joined with the French Indians to
pillage and murder the English. Before
the Revolution they seemed to have been
merged into the Iroquois nations. The
Tuteloes, called also Chaponick, and the
Aughquagga, and many other remnants of
tribes from Virginia and Maryland, also
passed up to the Six Nations. All these
tribes seem to have been long tributaries
to the Iroquois; most of them by conquest,
but a few, perhaps, for refuge.
