. A very bloody tragedy occurred upon tho site of
this the lhdians, on tho 10th day of Jane,
1778. The account is as follows: Seven men,,two
women, and cightohHdren,/mth a four-horse
wagon/ started at Lycoming crock to go to Fort
Muncy, afew mtie3jbelow,/ They were cautioned
about proceeding/as the woods wore fall of hostilo
Indians/ but they- paid but little attention, to the
warning: 1 When they arrived at a smaU ravine,
now embraced in' tho upper part of Williamsport,'
they weresuddonly fired, upon by a body of savages,
in ambush/ Attho first fire oneof the men fell
dead, when they m&do a rush, tomahawk in hand,'
for , The pther whito men immediately
jumped to treos and commenced fighting for their
wives and ohildren. /The Indians closed in and
atte&ptfd to sUrronnd ; them, wheUvthey all ran;
with the exception of one : named.Campbell/and
abandoned the defenceless women' and children to
the horrible fate that awaited them! "
The mew that ran stated that they looked back
and sawthem tomahawklng tho women and chil
dren/ whilst Campboil was closely engaged fighting
an Indian, Peter-Smitb,* ono of the party, ran
into' a field close, by,.and looking back per-'
oeived something following him/supposing it to
be an’lndian, he i&oroastKl his speed, -but on climb
ing the fehcO discovered' that it was his 'little
daughter, who with outstretched aras was follow/
fost ( as sHb oould, and imploring.him- to
wait.and save, her! It is scarcely neoessaryto
add 7 that the Jtying\ father’s, bout'was deeply
touched/ and waiting a moment,- snatched' the
child np in his arms and fled for life ! He escaped
to Fort Mnticy. 1 V'..V '• /./
The' alarm being givon, a party- proceeded to
thoepot early the'next day, where they beheld J a
revolting and sickeniug sight. .The two*.women
wore found killed andeoalped. Campbell was
found dead also. Everything.around,him indi
cated'. that he had maintained a fearful straggle
with superior numbers, and sold his life as dearly
as possible* ; Seyerai of, the children'were : found
deadband it was supposed the balance were car
ried into captivity.,/
How,many, of the:present inhabitants of the
bo&nfifol and flourishing town.of Williamsport arc
aware that on the iOth day of June/ 1778/ such a
fearful-and bloody tragedy was enacted upon the
site jpfthat/town/and,tho ory of helplessinno-
with the whoop of the savage,
awoke the eahoes of the forest and ascended to the
azure-reolins of heaven! .
About ornear tho same time of the above mol
anchoty oeqnrreqoe, a man named William. ]W2ti
tors, 1 from BeVkahounty, wWwas an early rattier
here, commenced catting hay in a' field' that he
had clear6d i bqt ,A «bort distance above where the
town n'Ow atands. Hahad ten or, eleven men in
his company. C Six of them wow in the fiold mow
ing when a party, of .Indians suddenly appeared
and rihot scalped them all ini a I few minutes!
The others beiog> at'the oabiCj some distance off,
when the firing commenced, spereted; themselves
in the woods till evening and escaped. They then,
ventured forth and went to the field,where they
foundlthe their murdered companions, -
and collecting; them 'together covered them up
carefully with freshly mowed hay, and left Imme-'
diateiy)’" ’ *.' . /
The^.following spring, 'Winters, returned again
with alipdyrof armed men, and, strange to relate,
found the bodies of the six' men undisturbed, and
in a remarkably good state of preservation, very,
little, if. any*-ehanga having takenplace." The
curative properties of the hay probably preserved
them from rapid decomposition.
A great many, bloody tragedies occurred about
Loyal Sock, that form an interesting episode in the
oarly history of this region of country, but it is
Impossible for me to adv£H to them here; V<• • - =
As observed before, Williamsport' wa s founded
about-the time of the organizationl of the bounty,'
in 1795*'. Jfcr many years it improved yery slowly-
The town is well laid out; the sttoeto being,wide
and croestog'dseh btiief at right sngles. The side
walks are well paved, and adorned with beautifal
shade trees, - The buildings exhibit a wide diver*
Bity of taste, but most of them, are well arranged; 1
and many are fine models of architectural beauty,
reflecting grtatoredlt upon both tho builders and
proprietors... The court house is a brickedifice, of
rather a primitive oast, standing on the south side
of a publlo equare surroubded with a substantial
and tasty iron fence. The square is handsomely,
laid out'in,waU(S, : andbeantifal;floworing shrubs
and shl&e trees are planted on the; edges. In
front of the building ia a wide, pavement, whereon,
two rows of beautiful-'shade trees 'are growing,
affording delightful retreat from the scorching
rays of a Winday nun. •' The court houra was com
menced in 1801,'and finished in 1863. It contains,
besides the court room, offices for the prbthonch
tory, and .recorder,,-treasurer, .United:
States marshal, commissioners, Ao.| • - - -
The first court in tho county was held in the
private houseofJohn Winters, some distance abovo
the present borough limits. Mr, Winters was one
of tho early sheriffs Of the county,* and had a family
of twenty-two childreni
The second ooart was hcld in September, 179G—
and for e’oyeral terms aftorwards-rin the old log
building. on the corner of the street opposite . the.
residence of Den. W. F. P&oker. It jot stands in
a good jtato of preservation. Governor McKean
has presided in this venerAbte_bnUding, on. more'
than Oho, occasion, when he was Judge of: this
district.
■Williamsport has improved very rapidly daring
the last five years, anti now contains four first-class
hotels, three taverns, eight eating saloons, six ice
cream saloons, and about aoventy stores, including
those of every style and variety, among jvhleh may
be fdund Some-rivaling in size andeplendor, as well
as amount of trade, many city establishments, •'
There are located here three foundries and ma

Brie .Railroad, now. in process of construction,
pass es through it; Williamsport being tho ohly in
termediate point made in the ohartor.. These fa
cilities have had their influence in promoting the
growth prosperity of'the borongh. In 1840
the population was about 1800; in 1850, 1615, and
at the present time, by a recent enumeration’, it Is
found' to bo overs,ooo.inhabitants/
From the continuons advancement of every in

Williamsport contains ono Old School and one
New School Presbyterian Ohurohl, one Methodist,
one Episcopalian, ono German Reformed, one
English Lutheran, one Catholic/ one Evangelical,
one./Baptiatand ono Unitarian, and African,
okurohes.
Dickinson Seminary, a very , excellent Institu
tion, under the patronage of the M. E, Church,is
also looated here. It is in a flourishing condition,
and enjoys a good reputation throughout tho State.
The faculty is one of learning and ability: Tho
building is of brtok, very large, and stands upon a
commanding eminence, near tho railroad, in the
northeastern part of the town.

stitution, with aoapltal of $200,000* isiocatod hero.
A new, and very .beautiful banking building is
being erected this summer. It will be an orna
ment to the town. , • .
I' Extensive‘gas Works have been ereotod within a
year, and the town is now lighted with a superior
artiolo of gas. It Is also, supplied with pure water
from a 'mountain' stream on the other side of the
river.* A reScryrir, capable of containing a large
Supply; was constructed some two miles distant,
and tho water brought into tho town by means of
Iron pipes laid Underneath the ground and the
bottom of the river. «
Two newspapers are published here. The Inde
pendent Freest by O. H. Butt, is devoted to tho
&4voo&cy of Republican principles. The Lycotn-'
ing Gazette , established fifty-six years ago, is one
of the oldest DemocratiO' journals in the State. It
has, in turn, been edited by Judge Lewis, Gen W.
F/ Packer, and others of great ability/ At the
present-time it is conducted by Messrs. Olerkand
Higgins, in an able and satisfactory manner.
There is also an extensive Job Printing Office in
the town, by F. H. Campbell, Esq., with facilities
for turning oat work of all kinds, from tho most
delicate oard up to & mammoth poster.
* There is a young man located here, and engaged
in the m&rkle-ontting'bnsiness, named W. A. Ford,
Esq that deserves more than a passing notice.
He displays a high order of genius for sculpturing,
.and recently produced a bust of Honry Olay, that
is pronounced by connoisseurs to be a vory fine
pieeb of work. If he were under the care and in
struction of Boms celebrated artist, there is no
doubt but ho would excel' in the bountiful art of
sculpturing. • /,

Interesting Letter of John Bayard.
[from.the Charleston Cohrieri]
- - The following letter from one distinguished
citUen of Pennsylvania to another, pare and wise
men, laboring to establish on a solid foundation
the great edifice of American liberty, will be in
teresting to every reader.' It waa written at that
critical period’m onr' history.' when the exoite
ments and necessities of tho Revolution were
over—when jealousies and confiioting interests
began to produce Intrigno and exasperation in all
the State*—when public spirit seemed to die out
with tbe ocoaaion tnat had produced it—-whon no
provirion oould be made .to pay the -revolu
tionary debts of tbe Confederacy, and dhe States
refused- to permit a duty of five .per eeut. on
foreign merchandise to tie collected-for thispur-
Sqse,. where a hundred per cent, have since been
emanded and exacted to benefit one class of our
eitizens at the expense of tbe rest—when wiso and
good men were, therefore, anxiously engaged ia
devising adequate measures for redeeming the
honor and securing tho.peace of tho country.
; It is carious to tr&oe.tne fluctuations of opinion
hi onr country in the period that has passed sinoe
the date of the letter; At that time alt parties
were agreed, with hardly a dissenting voice, on the
absolute necessity of union. The most violent and
decided opponents of the present Constitution
never hinted at the expediency of abandoning the
union of tbe States. Rawlings Lowndes, Patrick
Honry, and Luther Martin; preferred the old Con
federacy to tho new Constitution, but no man in
tbe United States advocated- the destruction of
that bond which had virtually existed from the
first settlement of tho country, apd which had been
so lately felt, by & severe experience, to ,bo essen
tial to its welfare and peace. The conflict of opin
ion; between the great men of the States related to
the coinlparativo' merits of two forms of govern
ment; efloh'socuring their union.
On the point of union itself, there was no differ
ence. Other sontimeuts exist now. Bat the great
substantial interests-of the country remain tho
same. - The first may change, the last are strength
ened by time. Oymionum convmtnta deletd%ts y
nctura indicia confirmet. Time,. says John
son, which washes away the* dissoluble fabrics
of other poets, passes without injury the ada
mant of Snakspeare. So it is with the opinions
and fabrics of factions and parties, and with the
solid and enduring interests of States. Time de
stroys tho one-ana establishes more .firmly the
other. The ephemeral, although angry disputes
of the day will pass away and be forgotten, tbe
necessity of a proper government adequate to
preserve peace at Homo and seourity from abroad,
Sill be more and more apparent and admitted. Wo
avo faith in! tho sententious wisdom of tho Roman
historian whoso. maxim .wo have quoted—in tho
transitory.,nature/of fanatical delusions—in tho
truth of Southern judgments and the solidity of
Southern-institutions, and we rely on time to do
Ue customary work in destroying tho false and
establishing the true. Patieuoe and the masterly
inactivity of onr groat statesmen havo wonderful
powers ia human affairs:

‘ “Dear Sib: I hod tbe pleasure of receiving

cur friends muster in the present sitting of the

“I hardly think Mr. Paine’s .pamphlet will
make many proselites, and I devotedly pray that
more corrupt practices may not prevail in drawing
6ff any of our friends. The present times require
-firmness and decision, and, if possible, union in
the States. We have to fear from the animosities
that prevail in tho different States, and the groat
neglect with wbioh they treat their Federal Go

gold is employed in most of th 6 States. It is
High time for the real friends to the independence
and freedom of their country to enter into a strict

your kind correspondence, as I depend upon you
for particular information.
*? Would it not bo proper for our Assembly to go

would bo for tho honor and interest of tbe State.
It would give me a singular pleasure to be in town
while the House was sitting, that I might see my
old friends/but I begin to despair; indeed, my
own affairs require my Doing with you, but I can
not think of leaving the State uuropresontod,
however disagrceablo or disadvantageous it is to

Damuo oki' tub Bats. —The Farm Journal
gives an experiment performed with chlorino
gas. A.disU of manganese and muriatic acid,
for producing this gas, was placed under the
garret floor, and on the lathing bolow i t, tho floor
board being replaced. Tho gas, being heavy,
descended in every direction between plaster
ing and walls, and being exceedingly pungent,
produced a,“groat sensation.” “All night
long, it would seem as If Bedlam had broken
loose between the partitions.” They decamp-
big and little, 1 and stayed away throo
months.' Chloride is a poisonous gas, unless
in minute /portions, and great caution is ret
quircd not to breathe much of it. It should
| bo: well conflnod within the walls. It is an J
admirable purifier, at least.' The best rat trap
or rat poison wo over found is a good cat.
■ Storing }ltjta Baoas,— These roots heat
easily, and they require most thorough ventila
tion. Next, to be kept as cool at practicable,
without freezing— a little frost will not hurt
them,'if thawed very gradually. If stored in
a cellar, they must not be placod on the bottom
of the cellar, but kept n.ibot abovo, on a coarse
wooden-grate, which may bo made of rails.
This will admit airfreoly. If heated, they be
come pithy and comparatively worthless. ,
7;If; kept put-doors, they should be placed in
riigti, not over three feet wide, and as steep
as they will pile, add as long as convenient.
Cover-well with straw, then with' a few inches
of. earth —in the northern States, six inches
■will do. Fat tho earth smooth with a spade,
to drain off rains.’ Then make a hole with a
stake or crowbar, every , six feet, and put in a
■Wisp of stfaw—this allows yentitation. >

Choice farm lands for sale.—
THE ILLINOISCENTRAL RAILROAD COMPANY
is now prepared to sell about 1,600,000 acres of choice
Farming lands, in tracts of 40 acres and upwards, on
long credits, and at low rates of interest.
These Lands were granted by the Government to aid
In the construction of this Bead, and are among the
richest and most fertile in the world. They extend
from North-East and North-West, through the middle
of tho Stato, to the extreme South, and Include every
Variety of climate and productions found between those
parallels of latitude. The Northern portion is chiefly
prairie, interspersed with fine groves, and in the middle
and Southern sections timber predominates, alternating
with beautiful prairies and openings.
The climate ib more healthy, mild and equable, than
any other part of tho country—the air is pure end bra
cing, while living streams and springs of excellent
water abound.
Bituminous Goal is extensively mined, and supplies a
cheap and desirable fool, being furnished at many
points at $2 to $4 per ton—and wood can be had at the
B&me rate per cord.
Building Stone of excellent quality also abounds,
which can be procured for little more than the expense
of transportation.
The great fertility of these lands, which are a black
rich mould, from two to fire feet doep, and gently roll
ing; their contiguity to this road, by which every fact
lity is furnishes for travel and transportation to the
principal markets North, South, East, West, and the
economy with which they can do cultivated, render
them the most valuable investment that can be found,
and present the most favorable opportunity for persons
of industrious habltß and small means to aoquire a com
fortable independence in a few years.
Chicago is now tbo greatest grain market in the world;
and the facility and economy with which the products
of these lands oan be transported to that market, make
them much more profitable, at the prices aekeq, than
those more remote at government rates, as the addl
tlonal cost of transportation is a perpetual tax on the
*atter, which must bo borne by the producer, in the re-'
duced price he receives for his grain, Ac.
The title is perfect—and when the final payments are
I matin, deeds are executed by the trustees appointed by
the State, and in whom the title is vested, to tho pur
chasers, which convevto them absolute titles in fee sim
ple, free and dear orewery incumbrance, lien or mort
* fhe prices are from 86 to $80: interest only 8 per ct.
Twenty per ct. will be deducted from the price for cash,
Those who purchase on longcredlt, give notes payable
in two, three, four, five and six years afterdate, andare
required to improve one-tenth annually for five years,
so as to have one-half the land under cultivation at the
end of that time.
Competent surveyors will accompany those who wish
te examine these Lands, froe of charge, and aid them in
making selections.
Tho Lands remaining unsold are as rich and valuable
as those which have been disposed of.
SECTIONAL MAPS
Will be sent to any one who will enclose fifty cents is
postage stamps, and books or pamphlets containing nu
merous Instances of successful farming, signed by re
spectacle and well known farmers living in the neigh
borhood of the Bailroad Lands, throughout the State—

vesting, threshing, etc.,—or any ether information
will be cheerfully given on application, either personally
