TOWANDA IN 1812 An 1873.
By permission of the author, we ex- t'
tract from Hams' "Hiatory of Towanda," the I
following sketch of this Place . f
"After the organization of the county, no '
courts Were held until January"; -1813, when a
court was convened in the house of William
Means, It Towanda, since known as the 'Old °,
Bed Tavern.' The old Court Rouse was not 4
commenced until 1814 - .The following were the
officers:present at the first court: John B.
Gibson,, President Judge; John 31cKein and °
George Scott, Associate Judges; 'Abner C. a
Rockwell Sheriff; Charles F. Welles, Prothono- •
tart'; William flyers, Justus Gaylord, jr., ,and a
Joseph Kinney, Commissioners; "James Ward,
'Foreman of the Grand Jury. • a
"'Tovtanda was laid out in 1812. Thomas.
Overton, father of Edward,Overton, donated to
the county the square where tho court house
stands. : The town grew but slowly, and in 1820
there were only four houses on Slain street ;
above the court hone, and two of them were
built of loge. Main street was then called Tio.
ga Point road. The first survey for the Bar- •
clay road was made as early as 1839. From the
lastoriCal Collections of Pennsylvania, publish
ed at Philadelphia in 1813, we take the follow
ing sketch of the borough : •
, 'Towanda, the county seat of Bradford '
county,'is situated near the centre of the coon- e
ty, on the right bank of the , North Branch of °
the Susquehanna river. A past of the town is
on the over bank. anff a part on several suc
cessive benches gently rising from the river,
and presenting a, most enchanting prosct.
The dwellings are built with taste, genera lly of .
wood, painted white,. imparting a remarkably '
bright and cheerful appearance to the town, as
one approaches it from the Wysox valley, just '
opposite. Besides the usual county buildings
the town contains Presbyterian, Methodist and
Episcopal churches, an academy and s bank
very extensively known. A noble bridge cross- '
the river at the town. Just below the bridge '
la the dam and lock of the North Branch canal, '
which hero crosses the riv.r by a. pool, thus ;
forming a convenient basin opposite the - town.
Part of: the dam wasswept away by the flood of
1841 or: 1042.- In former times tho people , of
Towanda. numbered fresh shad among their
luxuries, but the construction of the dams in
the river has excluded them entirely. Popula
tion 912.
"
'Towanda was first laid out in 1812 by Mr.
Wm. Means, who resided here at that time. '
The act, organising the county directed the
courts to be held at his house, until public
buildings were erected. Old Mr . Fanks (Fox)
a Gentian, and his son-in-law, Mr. Bowman,
lived then on the point below Towanda. Mr.
tanks !had seillitwl there before or during
the Botolution fITIO), having been attached to •
tho British side in that contest. The Tillage for
several years was called Meansville, and so
marked upon the maps. Other names were oc
casionally fried on, but did not , fit well enough
to wear very long. The Bradford Gazelle of
March:4, 1815, says The name of this
vil
-lege having become the source of considerable
ammolity, the editor (Burr Itidgway),- willing
to acmmodate all, announces a now name
Willaton. May it give, satisfaction and be- -
come Permanent.' But subsequently, in that
same year, the Gazette appears dated Towards;
and in 1822 agam•the Bradford Seller was dat
ed at lleansville. Towanda was incorporated
as a borough in 1828, and its name was thus
permanently fixed. The location of tLe canal,
the discovery of coal , beds in the vicinity, and
the establishment of a most accommodating
batklave a great impetus to the growth of
the place between the years 1830 and 1840 but
the subsequent disastrous failure of the bank
in the 'spring of 1842, following, as it did, the
already severe commercial distress, and the
suspension of the public works, spread a gloom
over its prospects. The natural advantages of
the place, however, are ioo great'to be annull
ed by any temporary cause, and Towanda must
soon shake off the load and eventually become
a place of considerable business. Besides the
, great valley of the Susquehanna, three 'miller
valley/. rich in the products of agriculture,
centre here and must pour their trade into the
stores'of Towanda." '
"Stich was Towanda, as it appeared . to Sher
. man Day,lBl2, and his closing prophecy has
been empty verified. Towanda has become not
only a, place of considerable business, but one
of the handsomest and most flourishing bor
' oughs of the State. • ,

ored to speak of Towanda in the past, and al-.
though the notices have of necessits , been very,
condensed, yet they contain a great many facts ,
in relation to the early history of the place that
aro worthy of preservation. Wo will now speak
of Towanda in 1813,...„,5, thriving borough of
nearly five thousand souls, with mining, manu
facturing and commercial interests aggregat
ing millions annually. Towanda has many ad
vantages to the capitalist, laborer, manufactur

operatic= What we desire to do now is to call
the attention of the world to .the unparalleled
•dvantages of Towanda 'as a manufacturing
and distributing centre, and as an inviting field
for the investment of capital in manufacturing
enterprises. Qoal—both anthracite and bitu
nainons—of t h finest quality is abundant and
- cheap. The dam in the river, formerly Used
for the anal; with the canal 'bed, will. famish
an inisxhanstible water power,, sufficient of it-
. self to build up a flourishing manufacturing
center. The dam has a fall of fourteen feet,
and ft is a greet pity: that this source of wealth
has not long I Since been utilised. Iron ore
abounds in the hills, and the ,excellent railroad
facilities, together with these advantages, are
• cedilla to makeTowanda at no distant day a

mark which persons who are unable
to write are required tUmake instead
of theik signatures, is in the form of
a cross; and this practice, having
formerly been followed by kings and
noblea, is constantl y referred to as
an instance of the deplorable ignor
ance of ' ancient times. This signa
ture is not, hoWever, invariably a
proof of such ignorance. ; Anciently
the use of the mark was not confined
to illiterate persons; for among the
Saxons the mark of the cross, as an'
attestation of ' the gopd faith of 'the
persons signing, was reqiiired to •be
attached to the signature of those.
who could write, as well is to stand
in the place of the signature of those
who could not - write. In those times,
if a man could write, or` even read,
his knowledge was considered proof
presumptive that he was; ,in holy or
ders. The clericus, or: cleric, was
synonymous with penman; and' the
laity, or the people whO were not
clerks; didlicot feel any urgent neces
sity foi the Use of letters. The an
cient use of 'the cross was therefore
universal, alike by those who could
and those who could not write; ,it
was, indeed the symbol of
• an oath,
from its sacred associations, as well
as the mark generally adopted.
Hence the origin of the, expression,
"God save the mark," a; a form or
ejaculation 'approaching the charac

Nothing seemed too wild or too great
for hit Ilium* genius ;
,and in the
dream of boundless wealth which
floated before his disoidezed vision,
he sax no impediment, to an almost
bonndlee expenditure. He was one
of those who formed a great land
company., FrODA the Six
New
of
Indians in the State of New York, he
had purchased a domain equal in ex
tent to that of many. German princes,
and they owned millions of acres-in
five other States of the Union: ,There
were golden promises in thew opera
tions,nnd the. prudent; calculating,
successful merchant, became a mad
spe.culator,*ith an ambition equally
mad to excel all others in whatever
he, did. He bought a' pasture-field
on the South side of Chestnut street,
in Philadelphia,. between Seventh
and Eighth: streets, and there began
the erection of alnansion which was
to be a model of all future palatial
residences in America. Major L'En

exhausted. Yet Morris went on, sell

ty cents on the dollar, until' the roof
was laid. He had imported the most
costly furniture, and provided some

I pany, ruined Morris and the ...l iar
partner, and his fortune became a
sad .wreck where many, other fortunes
had been stranded and lost. -Then
came the common experience of
" man's\ inhumanity to man." The
,publio services of Robert Morris were
obscured by the clouds of slander and
detraction which suddenly enveloped
him. Men spoke of this towering
ambition; and pious men shook their
I saintly heads, saying : "It is the
curse of God fallen upon his pride r
His creditors, who knew him least,
called him a knave, - and exercised
that most illogical and stupid of all
laws, imprisonment for.debt to com
pel him to pay what he owed. Wiser
'than the " children of light," Red
Jacket, on seeing a man put in jail at
Batavia; for debt, remarked : "He
no catch beaver there 1" Prosecutions
were commenced, and warrants is
sued.. These came like murderous
blows on Morris' sensitive spirit, after
that which had hurled him from sun
ny prosperitynd wealth into the
darkness of al m ost hopeless poverty.
With an honest he'art but paralyzed
hand, be determined to do all iu his
power for his creditors, but the jail
had a horrible appearance, and -he '
almost despaired. " Mymind is so
much disturbed about going to pris
on," he wrote to a friend on the 31st
of January, 1798, a month after the
warrant 'for his arrest was issued,
" that I do not get along with busi
ness. Indeed, I hardly think it worth
while to submit any longer to the
drudgery of it; for if I am once lock
ed up by anybody brit myself, I shall
consider my-ruin as sealed; and if so,
why should I longer submit, to the
racks and. tortures occasioned by the
importunities and insatiable avarice
of creditors that I
_never knew or
dealt with ? I will not do it. ; but if I
keep ink present position, my exer
tions will be continued to make the
most pf my affairs, in the hope of
paying everything, and of having a
suitable surplus for the, benefit of
my family. I have been obliged to
raise and pay $3OO for dividends on
the North American Land Company's
shares. I would rather have bought
hay' and bread with the' money, but
durst not." •
Withhi.alortnight after this letter
was written, Robert Morris was in
the Prune street jail, a prisoner for
debt. He was then sixty-five years
of age. Well might the question and
answer of Whittier, in the case of
Colonel Barton; have been .imbstan
tially repeated On this occasion :
" What tutth the gray-haired prisoner done?
