THE SCRANTON TRIBUJNE- SATURDAY, JULY 22, 1899. Ill ') M HONEER DAYS OF NDWTON CENTRE fcARLY INCIDENTS OF TUB "JERSEY SETTLEMENT." Interesting Statistics and Anecdotes as Told by Some of the Old Resi dentsObstacles Confronting tho Tlrst Settlers of One of tho Garden Spots of Lackawanna County. Origin of the "McClosky" Apple. Personal Reminiscences. Written for Tlio Tribune. Mrs. Elizabeth Collum Itoloson, to whom tlu writer Is Indebted for many Items of Interest contained herein, has boon a resident of Newton Centre since 1839. She was born and reared In Sub box county, near Salem, New jersey; was married to Johnson Itoloson In 1S37 and with him removed to this place In 1S39, walking tho greater part of the distance in order to lighten the burden of the horses, as the roads were very heavy. They arrived here the Inst day of March, sixty years ago, settled upon a farm purchased from Clayfoss La Teer, which they cleared und where they resided until the death of Mr. Itoloson, In 1872, since when Mrs. Itoloson lived alone until about five years ago, when she sold her farm to Joseph La Coe. Mrs. Itoloson comes of a long-lived family, her father died at tho ago of 01, her grandfather at 88, and her grandmother at 87. She celebrated her Slth birthday on Feb. 20, l$i, though her appearance does not indicate It within thirty years; her hair Is more black than grey, her step is light, her eyes bright nnd: her mind as clear as it was at twenty. She can read coarse in Int without the aid of spectacles and Is a complete encyclopedia of every thing that has occurred within her cognizance during the past seventy five years. Births, deaths, marriages, storms, and, in fact, most any event of any importance she can turnlsh you with the exact date, oven day of tho week and time of day. She was speak ing of the remarkable weather of the month of April, 1S9S, and then said: "But it Isn't a circumstance to the weather we had fceventyWflve years ago. Then they had to go and shovel the snow off tho sheep, for they wore completely snowed under, and the cows lying In the barnyard, you could not see anything of them except their horns." In the wood beside the road leading from the village past her old home, stands a tree which forms an arch over tho road. In the latter part ot November, 1S35, there fell a heavy snow, which remained upon tho ground until April. In March sleighs wero being driven over the tops of the fences, and Mrs. Ttoloson says that her husband that spring sowed clover seed on top of the snow banks, then up to the fence tops. This tree was at this time a slender sapling, and being bowed by the snow in November, sixty-live years ago, stands today a very visible proof of tho proverb, "Just as the twig is bent, the tree is Inclined." THE BLAIR CABIN. When the Itoloson? came to Newton there stood upon their farm, near the site of the log house now there, an old log cabin, built by one John Blair, oe whom the oldest residents seem to Iuim! no definite knowledge. Only a few of the foundation logs now mark the sight. A part of tho Itoloson es tate, known as the "Boss property" because since owned by tho Ross fami lywas also tho property of Clayfoss La Teer, and upon that stood the old log house, now fallen into ruins. The log house where Mrs. Itoloson resided is older than this. Mr. Itoloson was of the political party called Democrats at the war time, though not of the "copper" hue as ap plied to some of its members. Tie re fused to become a member of their "circle" and voiced his disapproval of the thieving and general disloyalty. Mrs. Roloson, while speaking of the war time, recalled an incident cf July 4th, 1840. The Cmocrats were bring ing a pole for a "raising" from Solo mon Hopkins woods and while coming through Cat swamp a slug fired from a cannon planted by the Tories upon Beemer Hill, whistled over their heads. Naturally they inferred that they were the object of the shot and tho party poet, Jonas Fuller, immortalized the occurrence in the following lines, which he recited at tho pole raising. "The Federals upon Jack's Hill They made a shot but did not kill; Next fall they must take better aim, Or they will surely lose thctr game." (Mack was a nickname bestowed upon Henry Bcemer ) (40) HBHHI No immy m mSMm!Mz- u "However," she ndded, "they did not loset their gamo for they elected their president, William It. Harrison tho next fall." She said also that another speaker, Mart Oompton, upon tho same occasion, said he hoped that tho Dem ocracy would stand as firm as tho rock of Gibraltar. The Democrats raised their polo and hold their services be tween Jacob Courtrlght's houso nnd tho old red school houso, about tho present site of the Baptist church. The following wcro tho earliest settlers nf this vicinity. Adam Thompson, settled! upon nnd cleared tract known as the Truman Knapp farm. Joseph Coon, tho farm now owned by his grandson, John Coon. Ellas Smith, tho farm now owned by his son, Ellas. James Wil liams, tho properties owned by S. Van Sickle, Aaron Fuller nnd Paul Aten. William Brink owned nearly the entire place called Brlnktown. Henry Wal ters owned nnd cleared the Robert Lewis farm. Clayfoss Lo Teer, who settled upon tho farm known ns tho Roloson fnrm, which he partially cleared, also owned and cleared the "Ross property." Charles McCloskoy settled upon tho fnrm known ns the George Kern farm and brought with him from New Jer sey an apple seed from which he prop agated the appio known as the. "Mc Closkey" npplc. Kebtilon Comstock settled upon nnd cleared the farm now owned by D. W. La Rue. Andrew Complon cleared tho placo now owned by Orln Richards and L. B Avers. Peter Rlchahrds cleared the John Dershlhmehr farm. Henry Boomer, grandfather of super intendent of Hillside Home, Go irge W. Beemer, cleared the farm now owned by L. E, Jennings and Ihe old stone chimney and lire-place of his log cabin still stand. MRS. JANE LITTS THOMPSON. One of Newton Centre's earliest resi dents now living Is Mrs. Jane Thomp son, daughter of Henry Lltts and widow of Andrew Thompson. "Gran" as she is more commonly called and by which title she Is best kn'own, was S2 years of ago on Juno lGth. Her mother was Katherlne Hoyt, a kinswoman of ex-Governor Henry M.Itoyt. Her father removed from Montague, Sussex (coun ty, N. J., in Feb., 1S21. He had made a journey to Newton Centre during tho previous summer, purchased a tract of land nnd built a log cabin for his family, then returned for them nnd his stock. He hired William Havens to bring his wife and children with horse team and wagon, while ho followed, arriving two days later with his stock which consisted about his entire world ly possessions. He had a yoke of oxen, two cows and five sheep, "nnd just ten cents in solid cash,'' added Gran. It was fine sleighing when they came to their new home and she says they struck but one stone during the entire Journey, that one being upon the top of the mountain. They stopped at one Cobb's for din ner, father of the late Asa Cobb, of Mt. Cobb, and who resided near the home of the late Asa Cobb. Gran says she remembers hearing them talk of having so much bear meat, and also that they had some for dinner. Tho only contents of the new home was a roaring Are In the lire place, which had been kindly kindled by their nearest neighbor, Zophanlah Ha vens, brother of William Havens, Their cabin contained but one room, arrt was located at the pnd of the road, beside the large spring still there, and near the present site of C. H. Blo secker's home. AN INDIAN TRAIL. An Indian trail led from their homo to Ransom, then Gardner's Ferry. The only road to Falls, where was located the nearest mill, was by a deer path and by marked trees around by the farm now owned by F. L. Thompson, on the road from Schultzvllle to Falls, several miles farther than the present route. The grain was carried on the back or by slowly plodding oxen. The nearest store was across the Susque hanna from Gardner's Ferry, and was reached by deer- path or Indian trail to the ferry and by ferry boat across the river. The store was kept by a man named Brown. In the Held, which is now the New ton cemetery, "Gran's" father had sown rye, and as lie owned no gun. "Gran" was sent with a large club to hammer on the rail fence to frighten the deer away from the grain. She said: "How I did hate to chase away the pretty speckled little things." When her father first settled here, SSebulon Comstock, who owned the farm now owned by D. W. La Rue, was one of their nearest neighbors, and often came with his wife to spend the evening, just run In, as it was a trifle of only five miles. "Gran" said she was always so frightened at their stories that she was afraid to look into a corner for fear she would see a bear. "Gran's" early education was received in an old log school house, with a large Btone chimney and fireplace, MEDICAL TREATMENT ON APPROVAL TO ANY RELIABLE MH Marvelous appliance and remedies of rare power will be sent on trial, without any ad vance payment, by the foremost Company in the world in the treatment of men weal:, broken, discouraged from effects of ex cesses, worry, overwork, etc. Happy mar riage secured, complete restoration or devel opment of all robust conditions.

Probably forty years elapsed between the events of last les son and the events of the present les son. Of all that transpired In Haby lon during that period one occurrence only Is mentioned by Daniel Fore warned by a dream, Nebuchadnezzar was aflllcted by a disease known ns lycanthropy, in which he fancied him self an animal and fed like an ox. On his recovery ho acknowledged tho Al mighty. (l)an. iv: 3G-37.) Passing by In silence the death of Nebuchadnez zar and the reigns ot his successors, the book of Daniel records a most startling event in tho best days of llol shazzar, great grandson of Nebuchad nezzar, about which wo are now to study. Belshazzar made a great feast to a thousand of his lords and caused tho vessels taken from the temple at Jerusalem to be used in serving wine for the occasion. In the midst of tho revelry a hand appeared making an Inscription upon tho wall, which, after the failure of the wise men, Daniel was called In to Interpret. DECLINED (Verse 17.) It was a rare promise that was made to Daniel as he stood In the presence of King Uelshazzar, (verso 10) trembling with fear. Costly raiment, a chain of gold about his neck, tho position of third ruler in the kingdom, nil these were to be given, if the writing should bo correctly Interpreted. The fee might well excite even a good man. It Indi cated the character of him who offered It, and conformed to tho custom of lnonarchs, who, bo It said to their praise, were accustomed to reward any who served them. (Gen. xll: 40.) Hut now the noble dignity of the Hebrew appeared, as he declined all these gifts, yet promised to interpret trfe writing. True, afterward he accepted, (verse 29) but ho was unwilling to enter Into a contract In advance, to make mer chandise of his abilities which God had Imparted. Ho desired to have alt know that lie was there as the mouth-pleco of the Most High, and not as a hire ling. By such course was lifted into a position far above all the courtiers who had gathered In the splendid pal ace. HONORED (Verses IS and 19). Daniel preceded his Interpretation by an extended reference to the honor conferred upon Nebuchadnezzar, whom he styles the father of Belshaz zar, although three generations In'. r ened. It was customary In those days to apply that title to all male ances tors. (Gen. iv: 20.) Founded by l.is father, Nohoplnssar, tho Babyl-jn t-.ii-nlre attained Its highest glory under Nebuev itineznr. His wars against Tyro KRVpt and JuJ'ih and h'-j alli ance wi'h .1" lied a.i klnir had rjivrn him a fame In all tho eastern world, so that all people and nations feared be fore him. (Jer. xxvll: 7.) His power was absolute and universal. Daniel calls attention to this and declares that Jehovah had given this honor to Nebuchadnezzar. Ills success was not tho result of genius or luck, but of a Divine ordering. What purpose exist ed in the mind of the Almighty as ho thus lifted up the man who became the conqueror of the people of God is not stated. The fact is, however, im portant. HUMBLED (Vs. 20 and 21.)-Daniel next shows that the man who had been thus greatly honored, failed to under stand his obligations to God. He be came proud, assuming that by his own known as the Morgan school house, situated upon what is now known as the Washburn placo, on the main road to Scranton. Her first teacher was Anthony Brlggs; the second was Nancy Ackerly. The only families constituting the Jersey Settlement when her 'ntlier settled here were Charles McCIoskey, Mrs. Cosner, widowed mother of the late David Cosner, who lived where her son died, Just at tho foot ot the mountain; Ellas Smith, who lived where his son, Ellas, now lives; Sam uel Hozelle, who then lived on the farm now owned by Henry Smith; Henry Beemer, Adam Thompson, Jo seph Coon nnd James WllllaniF. These people having all come from New Jer sey, the settlement, by general con sent, became the Jersey settlement, afterward Brushy Ridge, and finally Newton Center, the name of the post-olllc-e being changed to Bald Mount to avoid mall difficulties arising from of fices of tho same name In Pennsylvania and New Jersey. A CELEBRATED SPRING. Just below "Gran's" present home was a large spring, now drained, known as the Bear spring, so called because in the pioneer days Zebulon and John Comstock came from Wy oming there to trap bears. She says she remembers hearing Jiobulon tell her father about bringing an old horse up for bait nnd that they had to chop down trees to make a place for the trap. Six days later, when they re turned, horse nnd trap had disap peared, out there was a trail of blood following which for about ten rods they found the trap and their game, a largo bear. She was at this time about live years old. Sixty-live years ago tho -J of Febru ary, 1899, Gran was united In marriage to Andrew Thompson, who died forty nine ycais ago last October. His fa ther camo from New Jersey and his grandfather trom Scotland. In Gran's possession is an old Scotch Bible, brought by her husband's la ther from his home land, It having bo longed to his father. On the cover Is printed and written: "Andrew Thomp son. His Book.- Anno Domini, 1701." It contains tho following record: Anno Thompson, born June 27, In ye year 178:'. Jennet Thompson wase born May ye 22nd, 1785. Adam Thompson wase born July ye 18, 178G. Andrew Thompson wase borne July ye 24, 1788. And tho record of the above Adam Thompson's family as follows: John Thompson was born April 21, 1C08. Mima Jane Thompson was born June 21 1SU. Helen Thompson was born July 27, 1815. Adam Thompson was born Feb. 17, 1822, Since the death of her husband 21 J. E. GILBERT, D. D., LL. D., American Society of Religious Education. might he had achieved greatness. (Dan. lv:30.) Then his madness came on, mentioned In our Introduction. Seized by tho Imaginations and protuptlngs of beasts, resulting partly from his Inflated conceit and partly from the loss of tho Spirit's Jnllucnco which comes to nil men, (Titus 11:11) he was no longer qualified to pcrfoim tho du ties of tho kingly office. Having become a tenor to those about him, a menace to tho welfare of the government, he was deposed and driven from the habitations of men to take his place among the beasts of the field. There ho remained until recovered to his san ity. Then he knew and confessed, what long before ho ought to have known, that God rules nmong men, that He establishes kingdoms and sets over them whom He will. ItEPItOVED (Vs. 22, 23 and 24). This reference to the enreer of Nebu chadnezzar wns made tho basis of a personal messnge to the king. Fully aware of all that had befallen his Il lustrious predecessor Belshazzar had not heeded the wholesomcv lesson to be derived therefrom. On the contrary his heart had been lifted up against tho Almighty, and ho had praised "the gods of silver, and gold, and brass, Iron, wood and stone," nnd had not glorified the God in whoso hands were all his ways. (Jer. x:23.) This reproof, so simple and direct, was administer ed by Danlal with consummate cour age. It was an eventful moment when a Hebrew could speak thus to a Chal dean king. Going on from that Daniel arraigned Belshazzar for what had been the most impious of nil his doings. He had brought the sacred vessels, taken from the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, and from these ho and his lords, wives and concubines had drunk wine. And It was for this crowning act of shame that the hand had been sent from the Lord, and It wns for this reason that the inscription was made. SENTENCED (Vs. 25, 2G, 27 and 28). As tho brave preacher delivered his faithful message doubtless every heart was tilled with terror, and the conscience-smitten king turned his eyes to the celling while Daniel announced his doom. Three words only were written, it is supposed In Samaritan or ancient Hebrew characters, known to no one but to the prophet. Those words stood for Numbered, Weighed, Divided. By the aid of God's spirit Daniel vas able to see whole sentences which he read out to the assembly. The days of tho Babylonian monarchy were numbered, And Its overthrow determined. Bels hazzar, tho king tested In the scales of infinite Justice, had been found want ing, lacking the elements of u ruler, unable to serve the high purpose of heaven In his elevation to tho throne. His possessions were to bo taken from him and given to the Medes and Persians who would possess them. (Isa. xlli:17.) Notice here Daniel did not ex hort Belshazzar to repent and so avert impending calamity. He saw what God had decreed and knew that no change of purpose was possible. REWARDED (Verse 29).-Belshaz-zar had one redeeming quality he kept his -woTfl. Although Daniel had declined the proffered gifts of the king, they wero promptly bestowed. A suit of scarlet, the royal color, was brought to him from the great watd lobe, and In this he was clad ns a nnrk of esteem and honor. How great was this honor may be Judged from the fact "Gran" has lived in her own home on what was a part of her father's farm, having the greater part of the time some of her children or grandchildren residing with her. Her son, Adam, now resides with his mother. Her eldest son, Alva, who died about fifteen years ago, was for many years sexton of tho Newton cemetery, the first grave therein being opened for the burial of a younger sister of "Gran's," who wns Interred there In 1S21, her father chopping out trees and clearing a small plot of ground for that purpose. Her son, Henry, resides in Olyphant, Pa. "Gran" lias two sons, twelve grandchildren nnd twelve great grandchllnren now living. Jean Macomber. DEATH TO ANIMALS. Man Immune to Poisonous Vapors In Death Gulch, Yellowstone Park. From the New York Preca. Out in Wyoming, in the heart of the Rocky mountains. Is a little ravine, cut through volcailc iock, In which animals meet an unexpected death. It Is called Death Gulch, und It kills Its victims quickly by poisoning gases that Issue from Its many fissures and hang about its bed to a depth of two or three feet. It Is hidden away In a re mote part of the northeast corner of the Yellowstone National Park, nnd Is difficult of access for human beings. While Its noxious vapors are deadly for many animals, they do not overcome men, because tho vapors gather anl hang close to the ground. Bears seem to be the favorite game for the de stroying agent. The gulch Is a short V-shaped ravine In the extinct hot spring region of the great lava basin of the park. Whore hot water formerly gushed from the vents In the earths, poisoning gases now issue, and unless dissipated by a strong wind, these gases, being heav ier than the air, hover densely above tho ground. A tiny stream of clear and cold water, tainted with sulphuric aold, liows dow n a narrow, steep channel in tho bed of tho ravine. A few springs so small as hardly to be worthy of tho name, contribute minutely to the stream their oozings of acid water. Tho gulch runs down tho mountain from a basin about 250 feet higher than Cache creek. Just below that point is a spot where many animals come to their end. On a recent visit to the spot scientists of the United States geolo gical survey found the fresh body of a large sllver-tlp grizzly, with the de composed remains of another lying closo by. Within a short radius wero skeletons of four more bears and tho bones of an elk. In tho bottom of tho pocket they found tho recently dead bodies of several squirrels, rock hares and other animals, besides many dead butterflies and Insects. No sign of violence could be found upon tho big bear upon close examlna- the Wall that these garments were made out of fabrics wrought by skilled workmen, dyed In liquid of Immense cost. Her odotus Informs us that ccttain perso.is gave their entire time to nroduco tho material, and certain others were ox cluslvely employed In the rr inufneturo of the article worn. Over this royal apparel as an ornament. was cast a chain of gold, thrown about his neck, falling down over his person, the ip slgnla of wealth. Then came th heralds, who, obedient to the king's command, proclaimed Daniel the third ruler in the kingdom. One only stowl between him nnd Belshazzar. Thus, notwithstanding tho sentence of God, tho voluptuous ruler rewarded tho man who had revealed the secret, un welcomo as wero the tidings. FULFILLED (Verses 30 and 31). This net of justice to the prophet did not reverse the sentence upon the wall, every word of which, as predicted, was fulfilled. The Scripture story Is very brief. Belshozznr was slain that very night, and Darius, the Median, took tho city (B. C. B38). The splendid em pire erected by Nnbopolassar (B. C. 625) had fallen, nnd the Medo-Perslan empire was found ed. This Is all the Inspired record declares. From other sources wo learn that, while tho city was given to revelry on that fateful night, Cy prus led his army along the empty bed of the river from which the water had been drained. Tho soldiers on guard fled. The more distant portions of the city were taken and set on fire long before the news reached the palace, perhaps while Daniel was expounding the writing. At lost the Invading forces reached tho citadel, in tho storm of which Belshazzar, In one last effort to Inspire his troops, fell, being slain by soldiers who did not know him. Tho city's fate fulfilled ancient proprecles made by Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezeklel. Babylon afterward became a type of worldly splendor nnd unbridle inso lence. (Rev. vxll: 5.) REFLECTIONS. Two Important truths deserve special and careful con sideration in connection with this les son: 1. The sovereignty of Jehovah Is universal. The heathen world sup posed that each nation had a presiding divinity. There Is good evidence that this thought had taken possession of many In Israel. Such doctrines were prejudicial to the race. It was Impos sible to teach brotherhood and conse qnent duties until a different concep tion of the deity should prevail. But hero a Hebrew prophet is permitted to teach Belshazzar on this very topic and to show him that the empire of Baby' i was under the control of the Almighty. 2. The ancient world wns under the dominion of might. The strongest rulea and oppressed the weak. Men trusted In their power, and kings felt secure because they were supported by vast armies. The world needed to know that righteousness is an element of notional, not less than Individual, prosperity. Our lesson fur nishes this tenching. The empire that had flourished for nearly a hundred years, subjugating other kingdoms, in creasing In wealth and luxury, was utterly destroyed, and Its ruler wns slain because of its sins. (Prow xtv: 34.) If no other nd were gained through the captivity of Judah the in culcation of these two lessons in the thought of mankind would be sufilclent to Justify tho Supreme Being in allow ing His people to be carried away Into a strange land. tion, a few drops of blood at the end of his nostrils being the only unusual Indication. It was evident that death had come only a short time before, ns the body was Intact and was in no way offensive. The body of a cinnamon boar nearby was badly decomposed, while the other skeletons hnd been stripped of flesh. It was evident that the deaths of none of these animals had been caused by gunshots or other form of violence. They had been suffocated. The hollows In the gulch have been tested for carbonic acid gas, but its Piesence lias never been established. The strong smell of sulphur and a choking sensation of the lungs indicat ed the existence of noxious gases. The ravine is open to the wind nt either end, which serves to dissipate the va pors rapidly. It Is only on calm days, therefore, that the gas can do its dead ly work. It Is believed that the ani mals go down to the fatal stream to drink. One dead bear wilt attract many others through curiosity. The spring freshets wash out the bones of the de stroyed beasts every year, otherwise the ravine would have long ago oe come a charnel gulch. Death Gulch Is particularly weird and dismal. It Is entirely free of life. Kven the rock Is In an advanced state of decay. Close by and all around tho place Is vegetation. Hut the gulch is a desolate waste.
