Tnn town of Georgetown, abont 18 miles
smith of this place, along the N. ttnllway. Is
rapidly growing Into note as a place of trnde
for all kinds of business. During the past year
a number of new houses have been erected, and
seveial nro now In course of erection. A large
Bteam saw milt has been completed by J. IT.
Uessler, which already promises to do a flou
rishing business. Different branches of busi
ness are carried on successfully. The lime rusl

this rai t of the Btnte. There are three well kept
hotels lu the p'ace, the National hy A. Wald.tho
BuMjuehnnnA House, by Frank Barge, nnd the
Rothermcl Hotel, by Abraham Rothermel, which
compare In many respects with any hotels In
tho county. A large business is don In the
coal and 1 limber trade by Messrs. John Bluga
mnn, and Isaac Feustermnrher. There nre two
large stores. One Is kept by Messrs. A. Ditty A
Son, and the other by 8. P. Ulckel. They keep a
general variety of goods, nnd their sales each,
amount to from ten to fifteen thousand dollars
mutually. Two mlllluety stores have recently
been opened, one by Mr. Kate Haas, who has
already sold out h?r first supply of spring goods,
and lctely opened a fresh1 assortment. Mrs. fia

receiving a share of custom, from the cltisens of
tho surrounding country. A cabinet making

A Nr.w Hall Vasti;d. The necessity of a
good town hull has been much full by our ciii
zeus during the last few weeks. Tho line dram
atic cntertainnieuts given In tho Opera House,
were considerably marred for the want of a pro
per building for such purposes. Many were pre
vented from witnessing the artistic display of
some of the boot nr'.lsia now on the state from
thib cause. A good hall Is now one cf the noces
tilies of the tow n, und we hope sAno of our en
terprising citizens will at once set In motion tho
project of erecting a hall that v. ill n fleet credit
upon the place, and iill'ord u'.l cla.-ses au oppor

the necessary Internal arrangement", would bo ft

It Is one of the br-t towns In the State for exhi
bitions, nud our citizens would, at leiibt part of
the season, ho treatuj to entertainment equal to
any In tho cities, and tho proprietor would
yield a nice Income from their investment.

Tnn Sunhury Daily Is engaged In publishing
sketches of prominent men of Northumberland
county. The first of these sketches appeared
last week of the Hon. John B. Packer. On
Wednesday morning last a sketch of the founder
and senior editor of the American appeared
which we copy below to show what difficulties
an editor contends with In publishing a news
paper successfully.
lurry It. Manser.
Wc give our second sketch to-day of the pro
minent men of this County, nnd the man who
furnishes the subject Is he who has long been
connected with tbe business lulereala of our
town, aud who has seen Its growth aud spread,
the vicissitudes and never tailing changes of for
tune, nnd who hat attained the comforts he now
enjoys by his own never tiring ludnstry, and by
bis strict attention to tho touching of hit boy
hood.
He was born In Sunbnry, Is now about sixty
years of age. The earlier part of his life, from
boyhood up, was spent In mercantile pursuits,
lie was in a measure self-educated, having left
school to take charge of his father' store at the
see of 14, but taking I.ntm lessons oceasalonally
from tbe late Judge Dounel, whose pupil he had
prevloaly bees at school. Ilnving studied Ia v
the required time, nndcr ths Hon. A. Jordan, be
wa admitted to the Har In 18-t3. Ks-Gnverrwr
Pollock and lUc Ictd Judge Ilogln were admit
ted nt the tame lime, all having bceu examined
the prevluus evening by a committee of ni'in
lawyer, appoiuted by tliu lute Judgo Lewis, It
being bis first nppesranoe on tho Bench of the
district. In 184U, C. W. Heglns, Esq., was a
candidate fvr the Assembly. 'Ihere was a split
lu the Democratic party In th)a county. A por
tion of the delegates In Convention nominated
Jesse C. llorton fur Assembly. The friends of
0. V. Heglus, believing that be was entitled to
the nomination, withdrew aud nominated him
lor that position but be whs defeated by a small
majority, it was ut this time that the tiwbvry
AnHcan wa started, and upiorted the i-.aluia
of Mr. Ilegfua. the first number appearing nbout
ten days alter bit nomination. Hr. Masser, who
was theu pritet icing law and conducting a store,
and who bud been the early friend and compan
ion of Mr. llegins, becamo the editor end pro
prietor of tlm pnper.nnd published It In connco
.tlou with Mr. Joseph I'.isely until April, 1843,
when tho latter retired. Tho Amtriean soon be
came nil established Institution. It wa con
ducted In a .spirit ol liberality unusual in politi
cal journal, and with more than ordinary energy
and ubilllj. He asked for no oflico, and was un
der no obligations to any one for aid or patron
age, wh.lu more aspiring meu received not only
the. oQlce und emoluments, but also the credit of
sustaining the paper which had helped them to
position, and towards whlrh tney contributed
only their good will nnd prion of aubscrlpUoa.
This fur some yeais drew heavily wpon hispri-:
vato resources. This was particularly the. casn
i with tho Amtrilitmrr, n G"i ina-i paper established
by him iu JSia, and continued until tho re-noml-nullon
of Mr. Lincoln, lu lw, when, In the ab
sence of Mr. Mussur, his journeyman refused to
continue work on t;Ue paper when headed by
Lincoln. He was discharged by the foreman,
Mr. Wilvoi t, which closed the career of the Ann
rikamr.
In 1SS9 hnv.-as appointed District Attoiney un
der Governor Porter's ml ministration, w ithout
Ills knowledge or solicitation. How faithfully
and correctly he performed the duties of that
ofdee, may be Jii'Ue.l frrun tliu fact., Fhown by
the records, that lie never had n bill quashed dur
ing the six years he held the otttcii.
During the Presidential campaign preceding
the rebellion, Mr. Masser warmly advocated tho
a'ectiou of Judge Douglas. When he was de
feated by iles'.gi ing men, headed by Breckinridge
and others, he saw no alternative left to save the
Union but in the election of Lincoln.
Mr. MaBser's connection with tho press was
prompted nioro from his fondness of the pro
fession of journalism lhati from nny pecuniary
profits of the business, llu seldom presented his
bills, and it Is said can now boast of the largest
unpaid, uucollecie.l a,.,l uneollec table, subscrip
tion li-t In this section of the country.
In 1SU4, Mr. Masser I ' k iuto partnership In
the. Anitriran utile-, M". F.minnel Wilvurt, who
had served his lime nnd afterward worked In
that otllce, unit in l'j-.iS, Mr. N. 8. Englc, until
1BC0, when Mr. Wllvert became .the proprietor.
Mr. Masser w as an early and earnest advocate
of our railroads nnd other Improvements that
have built up Sunbnry, attending all tho conven
tion and meetings for that purpose.
It may not be amiss to say Hint Mr. Masser
has a mechanical east of mind, and wns the pa

ill 1745, Martin Shack, Moravian missionary,
went to Rhamokln, a town belonging to tho Iro
quois (Six Nations,) and, with hi wife, staid
there two months, nnd were eye witnesses to the
mint horrid nnd diabolical nbumlnntlnns practic
ed by tbe Indians, more In this place than in any
other, aud several times were lu danger of being
murdered by drunkon Indian. But they em
ployed their time In assisting the Indians on
their plantations, and though Indian corn was
their onlT fod Hiey were, perfectly contented.
FiOin Ebamokin they went on a visit once up to
Long Inland, a large island In the Susquehanna,
below Lock-Haven, but here drunkenness was
the great obstacle to religion, and even the chief j
got so drunk one muni tuui no ieu uuo iuo uru
and burned the flesh nffono of bis hands.
. The account given by Mack after his return,
made the elder at Bethlehem w isli to se.na a
missionary to reside at Shainokln. In 1 i4ti, tau
IroqUois sent word by tShiekr.lemy, their agent
or (icpnty at Shamokin, lo Conrad Weisur, re
questing liiin to represent to the Governor of
Pennsylvania, that for want of a blacksmith,
thev were ftequently upon the slightest oecasion,
obliged to tr.ivul above, ii hundred miles tn Tnl-
pehocken, or even to l'titlnrtelpnia, lo gel wort
done i they therefore wished :i blacksmith might
be pent to" reside t-t Shamokin. It was con-j
aidered a d angerous place of resi lenco for i
a European, the air being unwholcome, not j
to mention the extravagance in drinkiiuc and its I
daugeroiiB conqueiice. The Governor granted j
permission to tend a blacksmith, and this gave
the Brethren an opportunity to send n missiona
ry. Accordingly Brother Maek went to Shamo
kin to consult with Shecke'.e.my nnd his council,
nnd to agree that iu caso the Brethren should
send a blacksmith to resido there, he would stay
with them no longer than they preserved their
faith and friendship with the English. Pursuant
to this arrangement, .Jobu Hagen and Joseph
Powell went there in Juno, and built a
house for the blacksmith, finishing it lu a few
weeks. Anthony Schmidt, one of thu Brethren,
and his wife niovod to Shamokin in the same
month and began to work. Hagen died In Sep
tember, aud Brother Mack and bis wife went
the.ro to superintend the mission. Tho residence
of the bicthren there was atteuded with great In
convenience, all the necessariesoi life being con
veyed to them from Bethlehem. Shamokin was
u plnee through winch the Iroquois used to pass
on their way to Philadelphia and Virginia, and
when going out on hunting -, und the brethren
found a good opportunity of lxeom'mg acquaint
ed with a grout part of thai nation, and of pin
parlng the way for the propagation of the gnr; el
among them
Jn.l74, Bishops Veil Waterville aud C'ainnier
hoff, we.nl with Martin Muck and David Zeislv-r-ger
to Shamokin, where they renewed tho coe
nact innue wiih Sheekolemy in the name of the
Iroquoisi and the latter sent a massage to Count
Zinzendorf "that hi brethren, the Six Nations,
salute him j for they love him, und desire him to
salute all the brethren w hom they lov.i llkewis "
Towards tho end of tho year 17 I'd, Slie.eke'.emy
died nt Sunbury. Being the first tnniisirate and
bend-chief of u'-l the Iroquois Indians living ou
the banks of the Susquehanna as far as Ononda
ga, Syracuse, New York. He thought it incum
bent upon him to bo very circumspect in his
dealings with the white people. He mistrti-ied
the brethren at tlrst, but upon discovering; their
sincerity, becametheir Urm and real friend. Be
ing much engaged in political ulf.iirs, ho had
learned the ni t of concealing bis sentiments, and
therefore never contradicted those, who endea
vored to prejudice his mind against the mission
aries, though Ue always suspected their motives.
In th'3 last years of hi life be became ls reserv
ed, aud received tho krethrou who cams in Sha
mokin into his hoiuo. He n'so ve.ry .kindly as
sisted them in building, and defended iheui
against the insults of the drunken Ionian, being
himself never addicted to drinking, because us he
expressed it, he never wished to become a fsnl.
-lie nnd mint ins noii.e upon piiiurs. tor s.u.::y, ,
in which ho always shut himself lip when arv i

thik hcuso Bishop Von Wutterville, and Ins com- I
fany visited, and preached the Gospel to Mm I
t was t licit that the Lord opened his heart : lie 1
listened with great intention, und at last with
tears, respected tho doctrine of a crucillo.l Jentis,
aud leccvcd it iu faith, as a. message full of
grace and truth. During his visit to Bethlehem
u remarkable change too; place iu his hcirl
which he could uot conee.il. He found comfort,
peace and joy, by faith in hi Kedei mcr, und the
brethren consideied him as a ciinriidute for bap
tism. Bnl lieai ing that ho had b-eu already
baptized by a Catholic pileM, in Canada, they
only endeavored to impress his mind with a pro.
per idea of the importance of the siiciainental j
ordinance, upon wlneli UedeslroYo.il u small i.lol
which be wore ubout hi neck. After h? n-lui u
cd to Shamokin Hie griice of God bet lowed upon
