KITTEN: AND WILL. There's a hush in the noise in the play-room, The laugh and the carol ire atjU ; Have they left me, ray own little darlings, Sweet Katie and Mischievous Will? Rave they flown to the garden or highway, In quest of 'memo wonderment sweet? For I hear the qaick, restless patter Of their —yes, their eloquent feet. . Little hazle-o,yed Will in the corner Is kneeling and whispering low, " 0 my father who Meth in Heaven ! Please send us the beautiful snow," While my sweet patient Kittle is watching, - From her look-out, the largo arm-chair, _ For the fall of the first winter's snow-}lakes To answer their undoubting prayer. Still It comes, yet ever a shadow Steals over Will's bright, sunny face, While the Wirier /moil glides from ber station And finds by his cushion a place. "Please, Our Father," Boar Kitty is playing, (The Kingdom of heaven is of such) "You'll send no the snow; won't you, Father? We want it, indeed, very much." But sun stoops behind the far hill-tops, The shadows grow heavy and deep. " God will send down the snow, I am certain,". Will whispers, "when we are asleep," • • With light hearts to the nursery chamber Hy little ones silently crept. • Barely God heard their trusting petition; His messenger came while the}• slept. For.tho morning worn regal in erroinr, And thrilled them with wildest delight. "Well thank God,ffe's heard us,"they murmur "Ile answered oni prayer in the eight," Ah! the tips of my babes have taught'ivisdom No creed can he purer than this: Trust God amid life's disappointments, And thank thin in moments of bliss. btellaneons. [For the ItEporcrEn.) A TRIP AOROSS THE WATER. "Our ship now rides at anchor—and a coast Before unvisited, appears in sight ; ' • So lot us to the land, and there-behold Its various features: if the courtesy Of its inhabitants thereto permit." l'aseo Gtitiin„ On the morning of Tuesday, June 18th, niany of the passengers of the " edy of London" rose early to enjoy a nearer view of the southern shores of Ireland, along which we were now coasting. Its walls of rock, here and there surmounted with a glimpse of fields and farm-houses, ,were,' how ever, too lofty to. admit 'of • any ex tended view, until our approach to the landlocked Bay of. Queenstown. At a still early hour we entered this e mannificent harbor : one of the best, not only in.the British Isles, but in the world ; for^ the'whole of whose navies—at least for those of gurope —there is here room. Our gallant steamer (of which, hiMnn , e' carried us safely over ,: could not speak oth erwise than well,) here rested her en gines, which had scarcely before ceas ed their workings since leaving the far Western shore. Aroinid us on either side arose nu merous well fortified points, among which were Spike Island, where 1,000 convicts are kept constantly at work upon the fortifications, Hanlbowline with its immense water-tanks, and Rocky Island, whose excavated cav erns are stowed with 10,000 barrels of gunpowder, kept dry for any such emergency as a "Fenian invasion." Such of us as contemplate& giving to Irish soil the coMpliment of our first landing on 'Eastern shores, were now soon embarked upon a black looking tender, from whose decks (through the specially accorded per mission and (-hag. »earl..x of Her Ma jesty's Cu4toin-housc officials, ranged at the dock to receive us, with all due honors and examinations,) we speedi ly enjoyed, together with our bag gage, the anticipated introduction to Irish life on Irish territory. A slight and cursory examination by the revenue officers seemed in gen eral to Suffice, and about the only questions asked were with regard to , fire.anns and tobacco. Throughout Europe generally, at this time, the detention and annoyance of a close and critical examination:cif baggage and passports,•need not to be as for merly, a special dread of the traveler. It is proper, and under some circum stances, important, to be provided with a Government passport when abroad ; yet one may pass through the greater part - of Europe without its being once called for ; and in re gard to custom-house duties and pro hibitions, they are being repealed to such an extent in Great Britain and upon the Continent, that there . re main but few contraband articles to be sought fon The returning Ameri can, having "graduated " through perhaps a dozen "despotic frontiers" abroad, with cam:pin:Aims politely slight, even if slightly polite, wills in all.probability be somewhat "taken aback " at the rigid and often expen sive scrutiny to which his " traps and valamities " arc subjected, on his again setting foot adieu his native shores—" the land of the free, and the home of the brave." —Emerging through the high en closur into the street leading along the waterside, we found ourselves amid a crowd of men, women, boys, and Irish donkeys, the latter (of di minutive size and peculiarly woful aspect) attached to little .carts for transporting baggage. As we pro ceeded towards the hotel; we did not fail to hear the customary-appeals for. aid and charity. "And so yer hon. ors have come from the blessed land of America to - see our Irish. homes! Well, och hone! the blessing of God and the saints be upon ye and your noble country! And maybe, ite just a.few pennies ye may have to aid the necessities of a poor woman and her seven calder !" ‘l.(erily; the " few pennies," if not too often called for, seem but , a pal try return for the bestowment of such .high-toned compliments and bene dictions—which, by-the-by, in Ireland are never "called back "—brt on' the contrary often continued, even when the appeal is unsuccessful. —Queenstown derives ifs name from the landing of Victoria at this point in 1849—in the sone.Manner ai Kingstown, the' shipping • port of Dublin, has itstitle from the disem barkation of ,George IV, on a visit to Ireland: Itsileamtiful bay, and the locality itself, were formerly known as the Core of Cork; old sailors still _ MEM OM TOWANpA; BRADPORD.OUNTY; PA . 7 ; 28; 18*. refuse to recognize if Y - Other name, The town is principally built upon O declivity at the south` side of the barber; - fhb . salubrity, of :its air and the beauty of,, the surrounding scenery rendering 'it a fashionable. summer resort. It is the shipping .port of the city of Cork, six miles dis-! ,tent up the bay and river, 'On 'which 'numerous small' steamers regularly ply. Cars upon the railway connect- . mg the two places also pasi every ,half hour. - - —Taking my first Irish meal at Qneenstowu, iri company with three fellow voyagers - - (a young Catholic priest and his sister, .from Connecti, cut; and their brother, recently from the mines of Idaho), my mind recurs. with" pleasure to the occasion, what with its good cheer and good feeling; as truly sociable, homelike and. en joyable. The elements of good living in Ire land . (although, doubtless, many of her inhabitants do not live any too well,) are of the best ,:the quality of our steak, mutton chop, eggs, coffee, bread and butter, on this occasion, going far . towards establishing the fact eyond a qnestion. "Speaking of bread and butter," it seems a little cidd to the American, noticing_ the circumstance for the first time, that while the "staff of life " comes upon the Etiropean table in the undivided integrity of the loaf, its companion, the "golden extract of the dairy," makes its appearance there only of the size and semblance of innumerable musket-balls or cockle shells—pcording, as is most likely ; to the in'evailing fancy of . the kitch en-maid, whether military or marine. —Bidding farewell to my kind hearted Irish friends, who were about seeking their.- relatives and former home in the vicinity of Queenstown, I proceeded towards Cork by steam er to Passage (half the distance), and thence by railway: The wooded' heights along the shore are charm ingly. interspersed with castles, villas; cottages and beautiful gardens, ren dering-the scenery extremely varied and interesting. On arriving at the Cork station, I took a seat upon the summit of the " Victoria" coach, af fording a favorable opportunity for observation in traversing the streets of the famous old city. I could not avoid an involuntary conjecture on the occasion as to whether the Irish people - (so well known,' of colirsei to me) would not be somewhat over come with surprise at witnessing thus my sudden and tolerably conspicu ous entree into the midst of one of their principal cities ;. for I certainly felt surprised iny,wif at realizing the fact.

The facts which will be pre sented, were gathered froM . docu ments now preserved in the archives .at Bethlehem, to which the writer - ,Was kindly granted free access. d In order to • understand clearly some of the cirettnistancessonnected :with the history of the Mission, it it necessary to know something of. the relations subsisting between the dif ferent nations of the Aborigines with which missionaries were .brought ; in contact. The north-eastern part , of the country was occupied by three great Indian - nations: Those who were east . of the Hodson; or the New England Indians; the' 'Huron-Iro quois, or Confederated Five Notions, who held the country west of the Hudson as far as the great Lakes in cluding the head waters of the Dela ware and Susquehanna, and the Len ni-Lenape or Delaware nation, which ' extended, south of the Iroquois eager as the Carolinas. Each of these na tions was eubdivided into tribes, and the tribes into families or clams. Ex cept the _lroquois, there was very lit tle approaChing a form of civil gov ernment amongst them. Each clan had its head men, and each tribe its chief, and the leading 'chief in the na tion was styled the king. But there was nothing like a monarchy in their system of government., which if' it could be called a system was nearer a dem:Jersey; nor even was there a confederation amongst their tribes. With the Iroquois the case was dif ferent. Their government was lodg ed in the hands of their great council which consisted of fifty sachems cho sen in a fixed ratio from thedifferent tribes. In addition to this, each tribe was assigned a specific duty on the management of the interests of the nation. The stipulations or trea ties entered into by one tribe were not considered' binding unless au thorized and ratified by the ',Great Council , According to their traditions, both the. Iroquois and the Lenapes origin ally h - ad their seats west of the Mis sisippi, but on their journal eastward they encountered a powerful nation which neither alone was able to over come; they therefore entered into' a Mutual compact to render each other assistance,. and by their combined force were able to overcome all oppo sition. and vanquish all their enemies: This compact continued in force for many years after they had settled in their Eastern homes, but at length misunderstandings arose between, them, which finally led to hostilities; and after many years of conflict, and many a hard fought battle, the Len apes were completely subjugated and at the same time when the country was first !mown by the whites, the Iroquois claimed by right of conquest all the land in the valley of the Sus quehanna.as far as the mouth of the Juniatta, and general jurisdiction over the whole Lenapo nation, and this claim was acknowledged by all Parties to the Great Council, held at Philadelphia, in 1741. The Lenapes having fraudulently sold their land on the Delaware to the Proprietaries of Pennsylvania, were at this, time, 1741, removed to the forks of the Susquehanna, Where for many years they had their villages, cornfields and hunting grounds. One of these vil lages was near. the mouth of the Wyalusirrg creek and just below the site of a former village which kal been the scene of one' of the blooxy battles fought' by the Iroquois and the Lenapes. This place had . already attained considerable celebrity among the Indians for the reason, that being , about a day's journey below Tioga, the south gate to the Iroquois terri tory, on the great war path leading • to 'the Lenapes and the Carolinas, it afforded a convenient resting • place for war parties, and then its plains were remarkably fine for cornfields, and its forests the! fa"orito retreats for game.- This place the Iroquois gave the name of Machiwihilusing, which in their language signifies the "Good Hunting Ground," but which beim: slightly changed by the Lena pes they gave the signification of "at the dwelling place of the hoary vet eran." - Prior to tho.removal of the Lena pes they had been visited at the forks of the Delaware by the sainted David Brainard, and many of the nation ' had become acquainted will Christi anity and embraced its doctrines. The Delaware mind seemed more ac cessable to the truths of- the Chriitian religion than any other of the . Indian nations. Whether this susceptibility was induced by• their condition of subjection, or by the natural bent of their character, it is difficult to deter mine; but the fact is indisputable,. that they much more readily embrac ed the gospel, than any other clasS of the Aborigenes. After their removal to the Susquehanna, they were visit ed by the Moravians of - Bethlehem, Count Zinzendorf, having come to Wyoming November 9, 1742, the first white person ' , Who ever visited that region. • The Moravian or United Brethren are a body of Christians who,§o orig inal home wee among the moUntains .of Moravia, oialthe south of Bohefnia. They trace their origin to thepreach ing of two missionaries sent from Constantinople in the year 863. They maintained a distinct organiza tion until the year 1060, when they partially succumbed to the Roman See. Their'ehurch revived under the preaching.of John Huss, who suffer ed martyrdom on the 6th of July,. 1415. After various conflicts and vi cissitudes, they formed an 'independ ent organization 'under the title of Unitas Fratium in 1457. In 1467 the Waldensianitighops . with . whom the . Brethren were in sympathy, Ordain ed Bishops and Presbyters for them, and from this time the"3ll3- ravians entered upon this work as a distinct and recognised branch of the Christian Church.' In 1621 were be gun a series of persecutions which "Y • ..:' =MI MEE EMI - - ended in their rostra' tion fora time. For the next meiturY the brethren suffered-welt high annihilation. At lengths Nicholas Lords 2incendorf,'a Saxon'Count,limielf ma n, gavithera a home on his. estates, at Henneradorf, and in Arne, 1722, the Brethren commepeed the settlement at Hennhnt, whi& within five years was a cokiny of more than 500 souls. From this time on the church en joyed comparative peace and great prosperity, having the confidertee and rgmpathy of the fathers of the Refor mation. On the 21st of November 1734,1 en persons left Hennhut for the purpose of founding a colony in Ainenca. They landed in Georgia, April 7,-1735. For a while they were engaged with Whitefield in his enter prise there, b ut di ffi culties having arisen in the whiny, the Brethren came to' Nazareth, in this State; in 1740.' In March, of the following year, they founded 'Bethlehem, and in 1742 die Pennsylvania Synod was instituted and: the church was_firinly planted. in American soil. At first the Brethren held to a cominunity of labor. In 1762 the Romany as it was called, was disPon tinned at liethlehem and: . Nazareth, but they with I4tiz and Salem con tinlinued to be exclusively Moravian towns until 1743; when the whole ex clusive system was abandoned by the voluntary act of the Church. Since that date :the Moravian, like other American churches, have formed but one of the constituent elements of the communities where they have been established. In doctrine they agree substantially with all the Re formed churches, and their form of church Government is a mixture of the episcopal and representative. They recognize three orders in the clergy, the Deacon, Presbyter and Bishop, to whom in connection with delegates from the churches, the gov ernment is ! committed. In addition to the government - of each separate congregation, they have distridt, Pro vincial and General Synods, the iat ter of which is composed of repre sentatives front the entire Brother hood; and each Synod appoints an executive committee, entitled a con ference, which has power to act in certain specified cases during the in terim of the Synodical meetings.. In certain cases they also reverently use the lot-as a means of discovering "the mind of the Lord" in regard to diffi cult and perplexing questions, and consider the decision thus , reached; as'binding upon the consciences of those who cast the lot. As the Mo ravian Church is confined mainly to a few localities I have given this sketch of their history and polity, that the general reader may knew something of the godly men who first preached thegospel in this country. Soon after — missions were commenced among the Indians, a class of false prophets arose, who in imitation of the Christian teachers, preached a sort of heathen morality. They had some knowledge of the Christian re ligion' but 10:was so mixed up with heathenish nations and practices, as not to be productive of any real good. Such a prophet was PA-PUN-HANK among the Indians at Machiwibilti sing. But while his preaching at first was apparently very successful, the clan soon last all confidence in his doctrines, and at length repudiated him altog ether as their teacher. But his preaching had produced in their minds an earnest desire for some thing better, and councils were re peatedly held to devise some means for obtaining a Christian . teacher. This coming to the knowledge of ba vid Zeisberger, he set out from Beth lehem, in company with an Indian convert named Anthony, for Machi wihilusing, where he arrived the_23d of May, 1762. jnst at the close of a council in which it was resolved to send immediately for a new teacher. The people regarded this as a divine answer to their desires, and were dis posed to listen- attentively to the Miasihruiry's "Great Words." Zeis bergei remained ' until the 20th of May, preaching Christ, and learning the State of feeling in the settlement, when he returned to Bethlehem. He brought back such a favorable report of his reception, that the Brethren appointed him resident missionary. Ho came back to Machiwihilusing in June, and on the the 26th, Papun hank was baptized, the first fruits of the new Mission. Such was the in terest manifested in the new teacher, and the readiness with which his words•were received, that there were good hopes of converting the whole clan. About this time, however, Pon tiac's conspiracy broke out, and there . was imminent danger of a general Indian ivar in which all of the Sus quehanna Indians would be involved. Zeisberger remained as long as it was prudent, when on the sth of Ju ly he left, taking with him several of the natives who desired to have noth ing to do with the contest. These; with other Christian Indians, were sheltered in Government Barracks in Philadelphia, until the close of the war. The day after their departure, the emissaries of Pontiac appeared in the village, and immediately those that remained, took rip ;the toma hawk. Of Zeisberger, the great Moravian apostle to the Indians, who deserves a place equally conspicuous With El liot and Brainerd, on account of his labors to Christianize the natives, a few• words may not be out of place.' He was the son of David Zeisberg er, and was born at Moravia 'April 11i 1721. His parents were in the _find' company . that emigrated to this coun try, leaving their sou behind, where he remained for two'years, when find ing a favorable .o . pportunity, he em barked for - Ame rica, and at the . age of 22 devoted himself to the mission ary work, for -which the Moravians have been so justly celebrated. In 1745, he, in company with Bishop Spangenberg, Conrad Weisser and John Schebosh, visited Onondaga and formed a treaty with the sachems of the Iroquois confederacy. rFive years afterward, in company - with *Bishop Cammerhof he made a jour ney. of 1600 milea through the terri torrs of the Six Nations- ' by whom he was adopted and created one of the Sachems bf the Onondagas. He made a third missionary visit to On ondaga during the Pontiac war, after which he returned to the missions on the Sfisquehanna. In 1766 he idab- I Robed ir missien - [min . a ferocious clan of the Sidonseys. Venango cominty. Ho afterward founded • a !mama- on "'Beaver river; several in. Tuica rawas vidiey, in Cana da and in various. 'other places. He died in , Goshen, November 17, -1808, in his eieity-eighth ,year. was a Man of - one patience and : perseverance, Shrank from.no toil and shunned no danger wheii there was a prospect of doing good. He be came perfectly familiar with Indian character and language and habite. He prepared several works in the In dian tongue, as aspelling-book, gram mar, translations of parts of the Scrip tures, &c., and left several maim scripts, one of which; a History of the N orth American Indians, was the basis of Foskiers account, and which is intended to be published ere long, by the Moravian - Historical Society. During the wars between the whites and Indians Zeisberger was often .of great service, using his influence al ways on the side of peace. He was a close observer, and his opinions are considered of great weight. , After the close of the Pontiac war, he led back the , remnant' of christian Indians to Machiwiltiltuing, where they arrived May 9, 1765; and began to build a christian. town near- the site of the former Indian 'village. In this work he was assisted by John JacobSchmick and John Heckewel , der. Heckewelder continued with the mission until near the time otits abandonment, and had the oversight of its external management. He act ed also as the messenger between the mission and the Brethren at Bethle hem. Schmick continued with the mission until its close, when he went -to Lancaster, where . he died about the commencement of the revolution my. Wan The hew colony Was . courposed- of representatives of the Mohicans, 11 - ampanoaes, Nanticokes,- and . Me nissings, all the. first being clans of the Senapis, and hunt their village on that part of the farms Of Hon. L P. Stafford and Mr. Benjamin Brown lying between the canal and the er. The. main street was about twen ty-five or thirty rods south of the ea, nal, eighty feet wide, and ran nearly east and west? The settlement con sisted of twenty -aline log-houses with windows and' himneys and covered witai shingles, thirteen buts, a.church thirty-two feet long by twenty-four feet wide, a school-house and a mis sion house. Nearly every' dwelling had 'a garden attached, and every. household: had a Canoe on the liver. A couple springs and a well at.the mission house supplied the town with water. The church shied in the cen ter of the street and. nearly in the middle of the town. A few . rods east of Stalfonl's line, south of thel church, was the mission house, and on the nerth was the school-louse,v Each lot, had a front of thirtv-two feet up on the main street, and - between every two lots, was an alley ten , feet wide. The whole area was surrounded by post and raillenceoind every Satur dajr.dnring the suiumer was • swept by the women with wooden brooms, and the rubbish removed, so that the' town presented a neat and clean ap pearance. Between the town and the river were two hundred and fifty acres of plantations and meadows, on the east a burying ground and on the. west an orchard. On the &minds were two 'miles of fences, and the population numbered one .humored and fifty souls. In October, 1765, the first baptism took place, which was the wife of an Indian named. Salina; and a remark able awakening followed. The news spread to the neighboring .settle ments, and the Indians came flocking, frbm them to hear: the gospel. The christians extended "to their numer ous visitors a' ordial welcome and a generous hospitality. "It often hap pens,': writes Zeisberger, " while I preach, that the power of the gospel takes 'such hold "upon the savages, that they tremble with emotion and shake with fear, until. consciousness is nearly gone and they seem to be on the point of fainting." The set tlement received the',,nanie of Fri denshittien, or " Tentii of Peace," from the synod of the church assembled at Bethlehem, May, 1766. The mission did not enjoy uninter rupted quiet in the prosecution of its good work. In the simmer, the Cayu ga chief, under whose immediate ju risdiction the settlement was, sent a message , to them, stating that he wished them to remove to the neigh borhood of the Cayuga Lake, and that they might bring their teachers with them and live in peace under his protection, saying the place where they then. were was polluted with bloOd„referring to the battle fought there„yhich was mentioned above. Not daring to refuse, and yet being much attached to the location they had chosen, and fearing' the influence of the heathen Indians in the midst of whom they would be located, they gave an evasive answer, promising to deliberate Upon the proposition and reply when the corn was ripe. The next spring the chief sent them an other message referring to their prom ' ised reply. with the remark .that he did not know what kind of corn they might raise, but his was ripe and near ly consm4ed, and he ivas preparing to plaid again. The christian Indians perceiving that farther delay, would only make matters worse, sent an em bassy of their chief men with Z-eis lierger, to treat with , the Cayvis. Here negotiations were entered into with all the formality of Indian di plomacy. Palladian': was the chief speaker on the part of the christian Indians, and he was followed by Zeis berger, who, understanding both lan guages, acted as mutual interpreter. They represented to the Cayugas that it would be a serious detriment .to them to leave all of their improve ments and commence anew, and.that such was their mode of living and worship that the numerous bands of Indians living near and unacquainted with their customs, would greatly did._ turb their peace and prosperiV. Thd next day after due deliberation, the council signified their willingness for 'the christian Indians to remain in, the Owe they had. chosen, and fur ther gave theta a tract. of land along the'Susquebariria,beginning at Tio ga and extending as far as tnan could i' l At It' p : 4- . - ,• ~ ~.

In accordance with this stipulation the Indians at Wya'using considered the land as theirs from Tioia" . tO 'the Tunkhan nock. The deputation had scarcely .returned home before a rumor was put in circulation that the Great Council of the Iroquois had repudi ated the treaty made by the Cayugi* and in consequence of this repOrt, the whole. settlement was, again _thrown into, excitement. Zeniberger and Papunliank again. undertook a journey to Onondaga, where they were informed that' the decision of the Cayugas and the grants which bad been made by them, were accord ing to their wish and met their at 7 proval. Dino thus confirmed in their title, the Indians had rest ifor some time. In regard to these conferen ces, ZeisVerger remarks, aa showing the absolute subjugation of the Del awares,: that it was only by the utmost persuasion that...they could be induc ed to 'come int 4 the presence of - the Iroquois chiefs ; and evil - then " they trembled as though coming . into the presence of royalty." Of Papunbank, who figured large ly in the mission from the first, it tuay be remarked. that he was a man of piety and influence, in whom the mis sionaries had unbounded confidence. He was subject to peculiar trials, but through all of them evinced a: chris tian spirit end temper. As a helper, teacher, and warden of the congrega tion, he wformed his duties faith fully. Me died at Schcenbrtmn in 1775, when nearly eighty years of age. • As showing- 'the entire change wrought in the 'christianized Indians by the. gospel, the records state 'that they almost abandoned their huntitig and fishing, and depended,almoSt en tirely upon theiengrieulture for sup port, clearing up the forestii, planting corn and raising - stock, so that in a few years, though they were obliged to. feed great numbers of Indians who visited them, yet they had corn and cattle to sell. The regulations of the settlement were confided to their chiefl men, who executed them with fair— ness and . integritv. The use. of ar dent spirits was forbidden, profanity and vulgarity were not allowed, the children were sent to school, -many of the elder ones were taught to read, and the * . hok settlement presented a.neat, thrifty and' well ordered 'ap pearance, where,. as says the mission ary, "it is like a bee-hive in which each one has his work and is vrilling to doit." BeSide the religious servi ces on the - Sabbath, there - were meet ino-s frequently through the . week.. All of theSe were generally attended. In 1767 a larger church was built, which was dedicated February 18, 1768. This church was furnished with a bell, the first ever heard in this - valley. There have been several accounts given of. the' disposition'' made of this bell, -ha none of them. tire satisfactory. The fct that one -was here is .well nigh unquestionable. It was a . small affair, hardly larger than a good sized hand-bell; but it 'answered the purpose in the settle ment.. Zeisberger having gone west, the whole care - Of the misson - devolv ed 'on Schmick, Heckewelder, and Rothe, who had joined the mission, and as-the plantations extended hp the Wyalusing creek, Haeltewelder built a house there for himself. This house is still - standing, having been. preserved "with great care. It was built n in 1768; and is the oldest house in the county. A view of it is given in the historical Sketch of Wyalusing, February 4, 1769, a second station wati begun at Schechshiquanunk un der John Rothe (Rhodes). This was on the opposite side of the river, and n littlelhelow the present Sheshequin. It never formed an independent mis sion, but was a dependency on Frie denshuetten; the • sacraments beipg all administered at the latter phtre. Rothe was born in Prussia, February, 1726; where he received a liberal 'ed ucation. In 1748 he united with the Morayian church, and came to Beth lehem, July, 1756. In 1759 he be c,ame, connected with the Indian mist Sion and came to Friedenehuetten in August, 1766. He was married An gust, 1770. After the missions wore abandoned in this county, he served as missionary at several stations far ther west, and as pastor at several places. He died in York, July 22,, 1797. The first convert at the new sta tion was the 'chief, James Davis, who was baptized at Friedenshuetten May 18, 1769. On the 4th of August, 1771, Mrs. Rothe gave birth to a son, the first white child born in the coun ty. On the 6th of September, 1771. Zeiberger came from the Ohio and brought the converts an invitation" from 'the Delaware chiefs of tbat country to-settle there, which invita •tion wasaccepted at a council held on that day. - In giving the sketch of the mission, the fact which led. to its removal was omitted. It will be remembered that the Great Council of the Iroquois confirmed the grant of land made by the Cayugas to the christian Indians, blit notwithstanding this solemn cov -enant.that the converts should not be disturbed-in their homes, by the treaty at Fort Stanwix in 1768, they sold the Moravians' land " from un der their feet," to the proprietaries of Pennsylvania. Against this sale the brethren entered their earnest proteat, but it was unavailing., The sale wee confirmed on the - -sth of No vember, and the christian " Indians were " left without an inclt of land to stand on." " They then represented their case to the Governor of Penn sylvania, who assured them that his surveyors should not come Within five° miles of Friedenshntten. But even this promise was not kept, for the Pennsylvania surveyors ran lines through their plantations. In 1772, the Susquehanna Company sent an their surveyors, who cut up thSwhole territory, regardless of the claims of the Indians, -or of compacts or trea ties made with them. About this time, too, adventurers began to make their appearance in this country, and the Christian Indians soon found that they could no longer,maintain them selves against the combined influ ences which tended to destroy their peacu and prosperity. - - On the sth" of June, 1772, they as sembled for the last time in their church and partook of the holy sacra- El= 604- final farewell to homes and the "areal& tissirliithem... :"At, this meeting the daughter of Paptin hank was..
