Carbon county was taken from North ampton and Monroe counties by an act of the Legislature, in 1S43. Length, twenty miles; breadth, nineteen miles; area, thrce-hundred-and-nlnly square miles, and Is divided by the Lehigh river into nearly two equal parts. The county comprises tho most mountainous region on the Lehigh river above the Klttatinlr.g or Blue mountains; a region tigged and wild in appearance, and poorly adapted to agricultural purposes, but abounding In mineral wealth, In ex tensive forests of pine-lumber and In water power. The first settlement was made by the Moravian missionaries in the year 1740, and was established as a home for the Mohegan Indians, which was successfully maintained until the massacie In 1733. This settlement which was an off-shoot from Bethlehem, was located on the north side of tho Ma honing creek, near Lehighton. The location had, doubtless, been selected by Lewis Count ZInzcndorf, a descendent of a noble Austrian family, who In 1742 ascended tho Lehigh with two friendly Indians, who had been converted to Christianity as interpeters, and held a confetence with the dusky dweller by the Mahoning. Tho land 120 acres u;n bought, and a town laid out upon it which was called (Jnaden-Ilutten, meaning "Tents of Grace" or, more lit erally translated. "Mercy lluis." The congtegation, we are told, numbered the hundred souls. Each Indian fam ily was allotted a portion of tho land and had their own homes. A log church was built in the alley, and the houses half surrounded it, extending over the higher ground in the fotm of a crcsent. On the ISili of August, 17-10, the mis sionaries and Indians partook of the first fruits of the land and of their toll at a love feast, and gave their thanks to God for the blessings that he had be stowed upon thi'in. Discourses were delivered o cry Sunday by the misslonar- ies.and several portions of the scriptures translated into tue .Moiiegan language was read whenever the congregation as semiileii. J lie Holy communion was Administered every month. Tho dav was called by the Indians. "The Great Day." unrlstlan liattcli ami Martin Mack were the first missionaries who resided there. The clitireh built during the first year was too small for the con gregation of live bundled, and tho mis sionaries usually preaclicu in tue open air. am went wen until iio4 wnen part of the Indians were led to desert the mUsiou and go to the Wyoming vaney. Litorts to alienate me allec tlons of Mohegans from Ihe missionar ies had for some time been making by the Shawaucsc and Dclawarcs on the Susquehanna, who had began to waver in the their allegiance to the English, and doubtless, looked forward to the lime when tliey could ooldlv raid the settlement. The christian Indians had until now steadfastly refused to leave Gnaden-IItttten. and when finally some of them did so, it was doubtless through the influence of that eloquent, wily and active chieftain of the Delawares, Teedyuscung. Teedyuscung was con verted by tho Moravians and baptized at Gnaden-IItttten, at the ago of fifty years. Ho lived among them until 1734 when he joined his wild brothers, and soon afterwards took up the hatchet. During the samoyear(17.4) Ihemlssiom was removed to the north-east side of tho Lehigh. The duellings were re moved from tho opposite side of the river and a new chapel was erected and the place was called New Gnadon-Hut-ten (now Welssport). The dwellings were placed In such order, that tiie Mohegans lived on one side and the Delawares' on the other side of the street. The Moravians fondly hoped that the prospeiity of their little colony might be Increased, that it should re main a permanent abode of peace and of Christianity. But destiny ruled oth erw ise. The massacre at Gnaden-Hutton was only one Incident In Ihe series of border borrows, but it Is the principal one with which we are concerned. My limit will not admit of giving a thorough ac count of this Interesting Incident. Late In tho evening, of the 24th of November, the mission house was at tacked by Ihe Indians, who were allies of the French, and burned It to the groun I, eleven of theiauutes perishing. Brother Sensaman. with several others, escaped, but they had tho inexpressible grief of seeing his wife (Sensaman) con sumed by the llames. Sister Parish hid herself behind a large tieefln an eleva tion, near tho scene; and from there she saw Sister Sensaman, surrounded by the flames, standing withllolded hands, and heard her calling out "'TIs all well, dear Saviour, I expected nothing else." After the enemy had rethed the remains of the killed were collected from the charred ruins and interred. A marble slab in our Gnaden-Hutten grave yard, placed there in 1788, and u small, white obelisk, on a sandstone, erected at a more recent date, tell In brief the sad story of the Gnaden-Hutten, and pre serves I lie names of tnose who ieu as victims to savage hate. Tho second settlement was comprised of peoplo who made a permanent homo here, developed the resources of the county and ultimately, as a natural re sult of their thrift and energy, brought about the organization of Carbon coun ty. About 1804, a number of enter prising men, who had the hardihood to take un the work of making homes for thomselres in the forest, began to come &a Live and Let Live." PA., SATURDAY, APRIL Into Penn and Towamenslng township, and then really was crowned, what we may call, the enduring settlement of Carbon County. Gradually the frontier nonulatlon ex tended northward, clvlllzallou each year encroaching upon and effacing a little more ol tue great wilderness Agricul tural pursuits Were commenced, nnd so well carried on, that In a few years the people were In comfortable clrcuuutan- ccs. Most Important among all of the settlements, were those which were planted by Joslah White and Erskine Hazard, the leading spirits of the Le high Coal and Navigation Company (descending navigation) which wa com menced hi 1818. Tho task which they undeitook, that of making tho Lehigh river a navigable stream by artificial freshets, was one which had been at tempted several times before, and aban doned as often as being too expensive as wen as uitncuit to oe successfully carried out. In 1320 the first anthracite coal was sent to market, tho whole quantity be ing three hundred nnd sixty-five tons, which completely glutted tho Philadel phia market, and was with dlllicnltv disposed of dutlng tho year. It was sold for $21.00 per ton. The boats used In this artificial system of navigation, commonly called "Arks," were "simply gteat boxes, from sixteen to eighteen feet wide and ftom twenty to twenty live feet long and were linked together almost like railroad cars; tho steering was done with long oars, as upon a raft. None of the boats made more than one trip; at Philadelphia they (the boats) were broken up an.) the planks were sold as lumber, while the spikes, hinges and other Iron were returned to Mauch Chunk. In 1827 nine years later the canal, or the Improved navigation, called the Slack-water or Ascending Naviga tion oi tue Lelilgn, was commenced, vigorously prosecuted, and completed In two years. At present this company owns land which Is estimated to con- In, after allowing for faults In uilnluc and waste, the enormous quantity of six hundred million tons of coal. We cannot help notlnsr the difference In this county now. and what It must have been titty years ago, when only lew tons ot coal could Lie hauled to the river bank at a time, and from thence boated to civilization, with ten chances to one against Its reaching mar ket In safety. Isow, there are hundreds of canal boats being loaded and as many moio awaiting ineir turn in a day, whilst seemingly, almost endless trains make their way through the valley with their irecious Height rumbling, and shriek ng songs and ciles of trlumnh. as if re joicing at tlie wondrous things which had been accoumltshed In so short a time by brain and muscle. in li'.H coal was first accidentally dis colored on the summit of Sharp Mt., (nowaummii niu; uy riiuip uintcr. hunter, who observed it adhering to the roots of a tree which had been blown down as he was tramping oyer the mountain In search of game.

Jacob nelss, resldin? at 1-ort Allen, (now i eissport. d lie Lolonel took the snec men to Philadelphia nnd submitted it to the Inspection of mineralogists, who pronounced It stone coal. The Sit Itch-back, or Gravity road. wiilcn was constructed for Ihe trans portion of coal. Is said to be the oldest track In America, executing ono of two or the miles In Massachusetts. It Is now used exclusively as a pleasure road, and is the great attraction of Mauch tiiuni:. Mauch Chunk is the County Seat and owes It origin to the enterprise of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company. It is considered the most picturesque town In the Union. There are In it several fine churches, schools and ho tela, flno stores and the spacious and eiegam iiomcs oi men wuo uv their en lerprlse, energy and public spirit, have contributed so greatly to the enrichment ot the whole valley. The settlement when about one year old, contained for ty buildings for different purposes, ; sow-mill, grist-mill, smlthcrles, work shops, itc.

The growth of the settle ment whs slow until the building of the canal In 1S28-1). At about the same tlmo a postolllce was established at tho public house of Bcnben Haugenbaeh, preilotisly kept by his father. It being the first tavern In the vicinity and was on tho slto of the present Exchange Hotel. The first tannery was built on the site of the Linderman block. Tho borough was Incorporated In 1800, since which time It has gradually been growing.

Tho Packing Iloustt of Joseph Obert, is tho only ono of the kind in the valley and Is the largest enterprise carried on in Lc- iiignton. To our neighboring town. Welssport, no effort was made tocstabllsh a village until Ihe construction of the canal, when l olonel II elss, (if I am not mistaken, the great grandfather of our friend Mr. Clarence ll eiss) offered the company right of way freo through his many acres of land. The proposition was ac- ceplcd, and the Colonel nnd his sons tnl.l n ..llln..n 1 and a public square, and formed a lot tery seiieinc, in winch each ticket was placed at a cost of $75, and was to en title its holder to a lot, the only dlfilcul ty being In location. The building of houses soon com menced, but after the destructive floods of 184102, the growth of tho town proper has been very much retarded. Nevertheless there are some Industries of note carrlei' on and worked by enter prising men. Namely: The Emery J Wheel Works, (the only one of the a i.,,... rnn,i,,t ' kind In the valley). two planing mills, &e which are evil deuces of progress, and improvements ate constantly going on.

If Tlie Power of Imapation. Br EMEltSUN BENNETT. It Is a well-established lact that the mind has a direct and Important action upon the body, and to. i much greater extent than persons In general suppose. During the prevalence of an epidemic for Instance, such as the cholera, thou- sands become aflllcted. through their own fancy, who would otherwise escape the fell destroyer. We well remember, when this scourge was last upon us, of hearing several In llvlduals spoken of as; likely to perish with the dlteasc, for the ! simple reason that they were constantly 1 n dread and fear of It; and we noted i the fact, that these same persons rarely lived out the season; while, on the oth-' er hand, those who scen.cd to care little about it, and in some cases scoffed at and defied It, were seldom touched by the Invisible foe. No one can tell what the mind Is, nor how It acts upon the body; but we have constant evidence of Its piesenccand power, through one of Its attrlbutes.the will; and wo are sometimes astonished at Its Increased force, when stimulated by passion, or fear. Two men were chopping In a wood, end one of them was crushed by a tree falling upon him. The other, under the excitement of the occasion, i an up, lifted off the tree, picked up the dead body, and carried It home. He went back the next day, with some of his neighbors, and made the, lo him, sur prising discovery, that with the utmost exertion of his strength he could not stir the huge trunk In the slightest de gree. Yet the same physical man was there, but not In the same mental con dition, and he owed all his extra strength to his then unduly excited state of mind. Both passion and fear are known also to prodtico the opposite effects to para lyze or weaken the vital energies Instead of weakening them; grief generally de presses and sometimes proves fatal, and both disappointment and joy have been known to kill; but all ot these only demonstrate the close connection of mind with body, and show how much the latter may be affected by tho former. In a conversation with a distinguished physician of our acquaintance upon this subject, he related a case of the striking effects of the Imagination, ormlnd upon body, which came undei his own obser vation while a student at L . A lec ture by one of tho faculty, touching up on imagination and Its strange effects became a subject of discussion In his class; and the question shortly arose, whether it was not rather the body that affected the mind than the mind the budy "I contend," said one, "that the body first becomes affected by some morbid Influence, and the mind of course takes Its tone thctefrom. If the brain be in jured, unconsciousness, or Insanity, fol lows In the same degree. With a heal thy body, and a sound, well developed brain, we may look for clear, sound, dis criminating mental faculties, which can not be Impaired while the physical man remains unchanged." "I maintain," said another, ' that tho mind may be first affected, and so im pair the body, as In cases of mental ex citement, such as grief, joy, fear, hor ror, shame, chagrin and disappoint ment." The students took sides on the ques tion, and the matter was ably argued, pro and con, eacli party about equally maintaining Its assumed position. In all questions of a nature permit ting a strong argument on either slde.lt Is fair to presume that both parties have truth for a foundation, and neither has the whole truth; and so It was In this case the fact being that the mind does affect the body and the body the mind. But something more than argument was wanted In this case; medical stud ents like to try experiments and witness practical demonstrations; and It was finally agreed that a perfectly healthy subject should be selected and put un der the effects of imagination. A young, robust, rosy-cheeked farm er, who occasionally came Into town to dispose of his fruit, and who had found some of his best customers among the students, was finally fixed upon as an Individual In every way satisfactory for the trial. Tho plan was, for some of the stud ents, at different times and in different places, without any appearance of col lusion, to be struck with his altered looks to perceive some secret malady beginning to affect him an finally to predict his death at a given time. With this understanding they went deliberately to work the next time he appeared among them. Some three or four of them sauntered out to his wagon from which he was felling apples; and each, as he cama up, took a long and unusual stare at him, as If suddenly dis covering something very peculiar; and ,, , . ..... . men an sccmeu to consult logeincr, in a very serious manner, occasionally glanc- Ing at him witli looks of pity verging on , '. , .. ...

"Intend to be, I suppose?" j "Well, perhaps, some tlrao or other, If I live." , "Very well put In IP Toui.ivn!" returned tho questioner, with solemn emphasis. For tho first time the young farmer I looked at the speaker In t0.ne surprise. 1 " hy, what do you mean by that If I live?" he Inquired. i "Is It best to tell him?" said tbe student. In a low tone, addressing his companions. "It may bo as well," replied another; "it can alter nothing, von know.Wheat-1 ley, and ho may have some preparations I to make." I "Ah! here comes Doctor Giles, ono of the Graduating class-a vei-v al.i-on.l I observer let us sec If he notices anv thing first," observed Wheatley, glanc ing at another student, who was leisure ly nuproachlng "Well, hoys, how are the apples to day?" said the new-comer, in a light tone, as he neared Ihe group. He glanced at the apple-dealer as he spoke, gave a start, stopped suddenly, and then looked Inquiringly at the oth crSjWho maintained an ominous silence. "Heavens 1" ho exclaimed; "la It sol and so young!" Is whit so?" rather seriously In quired Bassett, on whom the manner of the whole group had begun to make a marked impression. "I was about to tell hlm'sald Wheat- ley to Giles, In a confidential tone; "but seeing you approaching, I thought I would wait and seo If your observation confirmed It." "A clear case I mr it at a clancel" replied Giles. "What a pltyl and he in such apparent health!" Then the five students drew back nnd mysteriously conferred together. "ucei no suspect nothing?" the farmer overheard Giles Inquire." "Nothing whatever, and even an nounced himself In good health," ans wered Wheatlev. Giles silently lifted his hands, with a look of commiseration, and muttered as If to himself: "Poorfellow! poorfellowl It wlllbea hard blow to him and his family!" Nothing of all this was lost on Ba?se:t, who began to grow restless and uneasy. "What's the matter?" ho again in quired, looking from one to another: "Do you see anytblngquecrabout me?" "Tell him yourself, doctor," said Wheatley. "Someone should," returned Giles: "but I wish the task had not devolved on me. One must do his duty, how ever." He then walked up to the young farmer, and solemnly asked him If he felt well perfectly w:elll and If he had any pattlcular fear of death? "What do you say all this to me for?" returned the other, turning somewhat pale and looking frightened. "Because we seo the seeds of death in You," said Giles, "and know you can not liyo over a week from to-day from this hour, in fact." "Gracious liea ven I what Is It? what's tho matter with me?" cried the other, In real alarm, turning still more palo and beginning to tremble. "You have that secret but fatal mala dy, known In the olden time us the plague a disease again revived, .and now going about the country, baflling all attempts of tho most scientific phy siclans to master It. It is always pre ceded by peculiar spots on tho skln.such as wo see on jours, and kills on the seventh day, If not sooner. You will further be assured of It by a certain pain about the region of the heart, such as, If I am not mistaken, you feel now. How ls It? am I not right?" "I believe I do feel kind of queer here," replied the frightened fanner, putting his hands to his breast and shuddering. "Of course you do. Comc.gentlemen, take pity on him, and purchase his ap ples, so that he can go home and ar range all his affairs befora he has his first attack of delirium." "Can't you do anything for me? ain't there no hope?'' whined the now terri fied fellow, with big drops of perspira tion, wrung out by mental agony,stand lug all over his face ami brow. "Wt cannot do anything for you now," said Giles; "but Prof. Copple, of our college, fancies he has discovered a cure. o shall know to-morrow for he is, In the meantime, to try the reme dy on a patient not far from here and should he succeed, we will come to you on tho duy after to-morrow with his se cret. Meanwhile go home; and If you feel weak, goto bed: and if cold, sec that you are well covered. Do not ap ply to any other physician, nor takeauy medirino of any kind till I see you. I will come at the time set, and let you know your fate for a certainty. Try to keep up your spirits, and hope for tho best!" Tho students bought the poor fellow's apples at their own price, and he offered Doctor Giles all he was worth If he would come and cure Ii tin. He drove off In great alarm, feeling very weak.and complaining that the pain in his heart was Increasing, On the road beyond the village he met some more students, who looked at him in surprise nnd alarm, inquired how he felt, and assured him he was very ill, and threatened with the plague, If in fact ho had not got it already. He finally reached home, more dead than alive, informed his patents of what had occurred, took to Ills bed, and grad ually grew worse. In spite, of his protestations, they sent for a doctoi ;but it so happened that the I laiiei no ana uu u luijauHaiiui, jii . neighboring town, and did not return in tlmn to see him tho next day. Tho day following, young Giles, with several others, weiit to visit him, and report upon tlie case. They found him . wllIl a j,igli fever, covered with quilts. complaining of cold and Intense anguish about tlie heart. and verging on delirium. "Well, doctor?" he gasped, looking wildly at the now alarmed students. " ou are saved!" whispered the oth er. "Prof.CoppIe'8 remedy has already ' restored six uyiug panenis. nere. take In an hour yotiry.alns will leave you,and before night you will bo well." The man brightened at once, and took four bread pills at Intervals of fifteen minutes. In an hour, sure enough, ho was bet ter; and before night he had left his bed and was pronounced nut ot danger. The students returned to town, satis fied wltli their experiment; and the next week Bassett was again at the college, selling them mora apples. They told him thojoko;and though Inclined to be angry at first, ho finally joined them In the laugh against him self. So much force of imagination. w&mvmmmawmmqmmmmmii$ijtn The Carbon Adauie An Independent Fnmllv Sr!i-i Published every sATlUL'A Lehighton, Carbon Co., !' b' II.WIHY V.
