SKBTOBRA.—W con tinue this week a few selections from Prof. Meyer's biographical ilnlchn of the first settlers of Brush valley. Everything that relate* to tha pioneer* of the county I* Interesting, and a* we glance through the (ketcbe* of our friend the recollection of more than one old patriarch, of whooe pertonal trait* and characters we hwd learned year* ago, wairevived in our mind*' A* a rule they were energetic, persevering, prudent, hone*t and God-fearing tnen, and they left a strong Impression upon the settlement* that grew from tho beginning which they made : CHRMTOFUKR SPANGLKR camo origi nally from More township, Northampton county. lie owned a farm east of New Berlin, Union county, and lived on it three years ; thence he removed to Brush valley in 1704 or 1705, and located on the place now owned by hi* son Jonathan Spangler. lie bought a Mr. George Hoor mer'* interest in a leaso for hi* tract and received hit deed from Mile* for it in 1708, which showed that it was leased in 1701. Other parcels were purchased subsequently. Ui* father-in-law, John Kryder, lived on tho adjoining farm—now John Krea mer'* and had come into the the valley several years before, probably in 1792. Mr. Spangler built the stone house on the place which to-day is still a substantial building. The subject of this sketch, Mr. Spatig ler, was a man of strong convictions, moral, religioua and political, and fearless ly carried them out, caring little for popu lar opinion. The Sabbath-breaker and the tippler slunk away at his approach; the swearer and brawling bully subsided into silence as he passed ; all evil-doer* dreaded hi* reproof, lie was an intelli gent man and a friend of education, taking a very decided stand in favor of the com mon school system when that question wss submitted to a vote of the people. Mr. Spangler belonged to tbe Lutheran church until about the year 1800, when he became a member of tbe Evangelical association. (See churches.) There are a number of dcecendant* in Mile*and Potter townships, Centre county, and many in the west. Children there were nine; Samuel and Jacob, who resided in Potter township, both deceased ; Jonathan, who live* at the old homestead,—to him the writer is in debted for much information on various subjects in this sketch ; Anna Maria, who was married to Conrad Hare; Susan, who was married to Solomon Gerheart; Msg dilena, who was married to Jacob Wcise; Christina, who was the wife of Mr. Evans; Either, who was married to John Belts, and Rebecca, who was married to Jacob Kreamer. Mr. Spangler was born May 17, 1766, died Feb. 21, 1866, and is buried in tbe Lutheran and Reformed graveyard at R-benburg. Sometime after Christopher Spangler moved into tbe valley, hia father George Christopher Spangler, original >y from Prussia, came also and occupied the place n>w owned by Jacob Shullz. Here he died in 1802. Three of bis other son* came about the tame time, probably with him. They were Ili-nry, who become a pioneer settler of Sugsr valley near where Tylersville is now situated ; George, a hoc went to Ohio ; Peter, who removed to Bald Eagle valley somewhere abouMEagle ville, thence to Ohio; another son, John, settled along tbe Sinnamaboning. PAUL WOLF purchased in 1811 from Tobias Pickle the mill properly and large tract of land lying north acrota tbe valley, known later as the John F-rster properly, containing nearly four hundred acre* and now divided up into several separate farms. Tbe amount paid for the whole was ten thousand three hundred (10.800) pound*. (Pennsylvania currency ) In the follow ing year Mr. Pickle brugh !>*< k a small plot for a burial ground. Mr. Wolf was a native of Bethel township, Berks county, bis father and Colonel lienor Itoyrr's father lived on adjoining farm* there. But after bis tnarriege Paul Wolf moved to hi* fatber-in-law* in Betbel township, Lebanon county, thence to Brush valley In 1812. He soon was extensively engaged In business in bis new home, keeping store, and operating a grist mill, saw mill, full ing mill, oil mill and distillery. Tbe last three named were situated on hi* land near Sbroyer's gap at tbe foot of Nittany moun tain. These have long since disappeared. His store was kept in his dwelling bouse, tbe old stone house at Centre Mill*. Mr. Wolf was for a number of years a Justice of the Peace, and hi* name is frequently met with in old deeds and documents of other kind*. He was an enterprising eiti ten and as a man universally esteemed. He had brought a large amount of money into tbe valley, but becoming involved in debt to some extent through bis various business enterprises, and dying nt n time of financial depression, his large estate bad to be sold at a great sacrifice and very Hule remained after tbe liabilities were met. Mr. Wolf was bom July 80, 1772; died June 6, 1822.

After remaining long in tdlenea* these work* were started up a few week* ago, a* supposed, under favora ble autpicea and with a fair prospect of *oc ccs*. It wa* rather a discouraging sign that operations should be suspended so soon It appear* that last week there was no money to pay the employee and the conse quence wa* a *trik*ynd a closing up o f the concern. We understand from Mr. Davia, who haa been the active msnagi r here, that tbie unfortunate stale of af faire waa in no way altrilutable to btm lie haa fulfilled every obligation and promise which be made when be under took to start up the work*.
