'A Scrap of History—The First White Child
• horn West of the. Allegbeny Kiver.-The
- First Settlement of Allegheny City and
• First Murder and Execution.
In the Pittsburgh. Quarteriy- Magazine,
April number, there has been commenced
a history of Pittsburgh; from the easy and
graceful pen of J. Trainer King, Esq. This
new history will be devoted ;almost 'exclu
sively to topics particularly bearing on the
. .
mechanical, professional -and educational
advancement and growth of the city. rather
than its Military traditions. We take the
liberty of publishing the following inter
esting extract from the first part of the his
' tory, regarding the early settlement. of
Allegheny; which will give an idea of the
. generally interestingcharacter of the work,
which will doubless prove; when completed,
• the most complete and fullest historyt of
any city over published :
Ilven when the Indians still lur undis- •
tinted possession of all the lands west of
the Allegheny river, the friendship they
• professed for the English after the french
had vacated Fort Duquesne indneed at.
least two ..families to risk their lives hi
their midst beyond the Allegheny—those
of James Robinson, father of the late, Gen
eral - William Robinson, and Benjamin
Jones. .Which of these families first ven
tured their "little air. , amongst .the- red .
men in their .'own. land, :is not positively
known.. It has been gained. thiC*liieral..

niiii4cifies above referred- to, be; visited
that , place and found a very old lady con
fined' to her bed in a rocnneflier daughter's
house, on the bluff o'erloOking Fairview.
Although bed-ridden for some five years
' and emaciated almost to a skeleton*, her
mind is still vigorous, and her.memory,
except for dates, quite clear. Sho.stated
• that her father;" Benjaniin Jones, came
over the mountain before she was born,.
bringing with him her mother- and one
son, then a small boy. Another older son ,
had been sent-with anotherfamily, starting
• about the same time or previous, but neith- -
ei the boy. nor the fminly were ever heard
of again, and it: is supposed tli.ey were all

her father arrived here he located on and
Improved a spot of ground-back of where
• the Western Penitentiary now stands.
The cabin was built near the spring• to
wardi the foot of the hill, and there she .
was born. At . what date her father made
the • settlement she does not know, but
judging from a series of circumstances con
' meting "this with that," it must have been'
as early as 1770. • •
Mrs.. ~Jessep says that when she was
about one , year old, and during the month'
of March, her father with five other white
men crossed the ' Monongahela river one.
day to assist a friend in raising a cabin.
The, day was exbeediugly wet and cold,
and when the men returned in the evening
about dark they were drenched to the
skin. A good wood fire "was_ built up"
and the men all stood around it to dry
their clothes. Mrs. Jones had gone to and
was' milking a tow utider the shelter of an
appletree that stood near the cabin. While
thus occupied she saw oneof the men-stag
ger, out of the doer and fall; she thought it a
little singular, as she had not noticed that
any of then% were drunk; but her reflec
tions were cut short by the appearance of
- another who likewise staggered and fell,
.'" then another, and another, until the
whole six lay in • a heap; The truth had
Etre this flashed upon her, but prudence
' bade her keep perfectly still. When all
seemed quiet, with fear and trembling,
she noiselessly approached the cabin, se
cured the children who were left undis
turbed in their humble bed in one corner,
and fled into the darkness, lest she and
-they should be the next victims. The
rain was still pouring down in torrents,
and, to use Mrs. Jessep's own language,
the "night was powerful dark;" trembling
in every limb, not only from fear, but with
'cold, she passed the night under' some
"Paw-paw" hushes, using sometimes
• her own body and sometimes ma
' king the boy use his to protect the
child from the storm; and had not this
ppcaution been taken, Mrs. Jeseep, who
wU that child of nearly a hundred years
ago, might not be living to-day to repeat
her mother's account of that fearful night.
The long sleepless hours that intervened
before the morning, which might bring
her relief or consign her to a similar or
perhaps worse fate than her husband had
met, was an age of horrible forebodings.
-.Mit afterwards transpired, the six men
had been stabbed by an Indian who had
stealthily , crept up behind and done his
work with such precision and dispatch that
there was scarcely an out-cry. One of the
men, however, by the name of William
Freeman, escaped fatal injnry; the other
five, including Mr. Jones, died, it is suppos
ecl,instantly. Freeman after a time recov
ered his senses, and with his remaining'
strength crawled to the Ferry , House kept
by James Robinson. He stated the occur
rence to Mr. Robinson, who immediately
Bent word to Fort Pitt, from. whence a party
of Bent,
was sent in. pursuit of the _assassin.
In the morning Mrs. Jones and her
• dren were brought over to the FOrt and
properly provided for. The pursuing party
• 'Wowed the'lndian's trail for several days,
and finally succeeded in making him pris
oner at a point on Lake Erie, near where
• , the city of Erie is now situated: His cap
' tens reached the Fort in safety with their
prisoner,_ and it was at first determined that
the boy Jones should shoot him to avenge
the death of his father, but wiser counsel
prevailed, and ho was taken toHannahs
own; placed lii the' county jail and after
-wards tried, found guilty and executed--
ctellstnian hung west of the mountains by
of law. Mrs. Jessep could not re
member the Indian's name, and as the rec
ords of the court were all destroyed when
. the town was sacked by the Indians, this
and the precise date of the hanging , are
likely to remain shrouded in mystery.
Aslirs; Jessep was a year old at the time
• of the murder of her father, the inference
is that she was born some years before Gen

• The Value of a Vagabond.
When the first penny newspaper. was
started in London, according to an essay in
Hours at Home, by James Greenwood, it
was jeered at as a contemptible rag, a clout
fit for the use of the dregs of society and for
nothing elsO. Advertisers were shy of it,
though the brave launchers of the venture
tempted them by offers marvelously liberal.
The speculation sickened nigh ;unto death,
when lo ! the strnt ragamuffin, the half
clad urchin, prowling the markets for a ,
meal, came to the rescue. This recruit
knew nothing about the press, free Or re
stricted, but he had heard that whatever
number 'of the daily penny Telegraph he
could manage to sell would net him one
quarter profit. What was needed was cus
tomers, likewise capital. The capital wis
Provided by a joint stock company of four
shareholders, and was paid up to the extent
Of eight pence. Upon this financial basis,
as the agent of this Company, the first Loll
don newsboy astonished the ears of the
community by shouting "Daily Telegraph!
Latest edition ! Startlin' roomer from
Ameriky ! On'y a penny ! Latest edi
tion:!" ' Before twelve o'clock, the agent
or the Company had increased its capital to
half a crown. "Telegraffs" proved a rare
investment, and we doubt if tbere be any
record of a Company, however great or
"limited," which thus augmented its proper
ty before declaring a dividend. •

000. By the completion of seventy 'tinges
of railroad from Sioux City to St. Johns,
(which seventy miles, though running
southeastwardly, were subsidized by the
Government as a branch Pacific Railroad,)
Chicago has direct railway communication
with Sioux City. The distance by rail
from Chicago to Sioux City is 540 miles.
The distance from St. Louis to Sioux City
by way of the Missouri river is about a
thousand mile '
s, and the navigation thereof
is difficult and hazardous. As 540 miles of
railroad is to IC thousand miles of treach
erous river, so is Chicago to St. Louis in the
prospect of annually selling $8,000,000
worth of goods to Montana. Chicago is a
lucky town. New York and New England

A Cam JOURNAL relates that at the sum
mit of the Cordillera of Dona Ana, the
priest Don Jose 'Sagues, following an an
cient track, has, after many difficulties, dis
covered' a tomb or deposit: of remarkable
objects. The rarefaction of the air at such
an altitude, which exceeds ten thousand feet,
has scarcely allowed the workmen to make
a small excavation, from which have been
taken a huanabo made of bone and orna
mented with gold, a silver figure weighing
three pounds, and another representing an
Indian at the time of the conquest.. They
were all found under a kind of shed made
of wood and covered with stones, charcoal
and huanaco wool in a perfect state of pres
ervation. Other articles in use by the In
dians, of less consequence are also spoken
of. It is believed that the Indians at the
time of the conquest hid a great treasure in
the place in question.
