Nothing but old Mr. Jupiter Pluvius can prevent the centennial celebration from lieing a gratifying sutfess, or can deter from fifteen to twenty thousand people from coming Somerset on the 4th of July to unite in rejoicing over th3 county's one hundredth anniversary. Already hundreds of natives of the coun ty who have taken up their residence in other counties and states have arrived, and every incoming train from now until noon of the -1th will add to the crowd already here.

From among the "Frosty Sons of Thunder" have gone forth men who have in:i. le not only Somerset ooti'ity, but Pennsylvania famous. The Ogles were a distinguished family. Alexander gle served in both branches of the legislature and once in Congress. His son, Charles Ogle, xvas four year in Congress and had been elect t-d for a third term just before his death in HI. He xvas the great Whig' loader in Somerset, and his lalra in the campaign of 1st) for Hen. Widiam Henry Harrison are thought to have caused his death. A speech de'ixt red In Con gress just before that campaign made him known throughout the wh.de country. He attacked an appropriation for furnish ing the White House, charging that Pres ident Martin Van Bureu used gold S toons. The speech xvas circulated .is a campaicn tl.tcumrnt throughout the nation, and was no small f.u-tor in defeating Van Buret). But it gained its author the title or "Sp mny" igle. Hi nephew, Andrew J. i gle, xxasa m.ist brilliant man. Judge Black, w ith w hom he sti'died law, said that he never bad his cxiual a a slump speaker, fjuick at repartee, abounding xvita stories and illustrations, marvel oiisly witty, eloi'.ient beyond compari son and tiie very prim-e of g.d fellows, his popularity and iniLieuca w ere almost uiib-iunded. He serx e.l one ti rm in Con gress, and xva appointed Minister to iH-nmark by President Fillmore, but died iu lsvj ln-fore leaving for his post. Chaunci-y Forward was a untivo if Connecticut and a brother of Walter For ward, of Pittsburg, President Tyler's Secretary of the Treasury. He was re garded as the greatest laxvyer of his time iu Pennsylvania. In Somerset he was the a.-know ledgisl leader of the iH nio cracy. Somerset county was once ovt-r-xx helmingly Peniocratie, but the Anti-Mason-c movement, in which the Ogles wero leader, t-s'k il over to the Whig rank, and it : now as strongly Kepubli ean a it xvas oin-e Icnneratic. Forward was a memlter of Isith branches of the legislature, and in li; was eltH-ted to Congress. He was twii-e re-trlected. Jeremiahs. Black read law with him and mnrricd his daughter. Their sou, cx-Lioit. iov. Black, of York, is a name sake of his t'.lslinguislied trandfather. Judge I'.iaik came of a Whig family, and hisiathcr, Henry Black, was elected to Congress in 141 to the va.-ancy caused by the death of Charles Ogle. He tots died U-fore his term expired. It is said that the influence of his father-in-law a!m.t lt d to Judge Pluck's lectuiing the I'emocratie c:iiid"tdate against his father. SOMERSET'S iitKATKT SOX. Without tb.iibt the most distinguished citizen of Somerset county was Jeremiah S. Black. Born on the farm, seven miles east of Somerset, on w hich his grand father settled in 17l, this ihriiier'a boy iK-came a judge of the Common Pleas and i hit f justice of the Supreme court of Pennsylvania, and Attorney ;cneral and Secretary of Suite of the I'nited States. It is unnecessary to recite his career. Asa lawyer, jurist and statesman he won the highest honors, and his fame is not circiiinscrilsd within the lines of his native State. Judge Moses Hampton practiced law in Somerset liefore he oaiue to Pitlslurg. Joseph Williams, who afterward became chief justice of Iowa, once practiced at this Uir. Joshua F. Co was a former prominent Sttmersel lawyer and nieuilter of the Legislature. Cyrus Uder, of Johns town, attorney for the Cambria Iron company, was born in Somerset and studied law here. Isaac Hugus, once a w ell known State Senator aud politician, was a citizen of Somerset. The list of Somerset men prominent at home and abroad might le extended indefinitely, but enough has been said to show that the "Frosty Sons of Thunder" alwaya make themselves known wherever they go. Somerset County. Somerset County was taken from Bed ford by act of assembly ttf April 17, lTH's The comity is comosel of high and rather level tableland between the Al legheny mountain cud the I -in re! hill. It abmnds in w hat are called g'ulr level wet lands, si wait the head waters of the numerous streams thnt rise iu this county. The waters of the county How into the Juniata, Potomac, Cassolmau, Youghiogheny and Conemaugu rivers. In fact Somerset county forms a perfts-t water shed, her waters (low ing tow ard the four quarters of the globe. For more than a half century it was generally be-lie-ed that the climate of this olex-at-ed region precluded the raising of w heat and corn; and oats, rye, hay, buckwheat and potatoes were the only crops grown. Ready market was found for these among the numerous drovers and wagoners traveling the three great highways traversing the county from east to west, w hile the native secured their bread stuff and corn from Westmoreland and Bed fcM counties. The glades form the most Voduetive dairy farms, and for many Pnrs Imtter making xva the chief industry among our people, the product of their dairies lieing eagerly sought after in the eastern markets. Orazing has always been an important business in this county, and Somerset county horses aud cattle enjoy an enviable reputation in tho markets nf the east. With the completion of the Pittsburg & Connells ville railroad a new epoch can lie said to have begun in this region. Prior to 1 the people of Somerset county knexv little of the outside w orld, but w hen railroad communication was once opened tip lumlicrmeu found their way here and at once tK'gan to depopulate our virgin forest. Following the lumbermen came to the charcoal burners and in a fcxv years the wilderness penetrated by the railroad became productive farm lands. The county still contains a number of valuable forests, but w ith better railroad facilities thev soon too will be laid bare by the woodsman's axe.' Besides furnishing a market for our lumber, the railroad incited prospectors to delve into the earth fir cvtal ami other mineral, with the result that to-day Somerset county tc- etipies no mean position as a coal produc ing region. The mining industries or the county, however, can still lie said to lie in their infancy. It is a.well known fact that the entire cuuuly is underlaid with rich c.tal deposits and tho recent large purchases of Somerset county mineral lauds admit ttf only one conclusion: This county will in the near future Ikj one of the chief bituminous coal producing comi ties in Pennsylvania. The railroad also furnished a ln'tter market for the produ.-l.-i of the county and stimulated alt of Un people to greater efforts. Lands that had b.-en farmed until they Iss-amc unpro ductive were renewed by the free Use of lime and fertilizer, when it xvas found that wheat could Is profitably grow u here as w ell as in other sections of the stale. With a ready market for all of t'aeir product aud by the sale of their timh-T and c.ia! lands th'j people of Somerset county suddenly discovered th.it fortune had smiled Hhui them, and their ideas 1-cgau to broaden and expand. Nearly all of them lieing of Oerinan descent their first care was to provide for th; dumb animals od had. provide I for them. It is in.t strange, therefore, if at any early date iu tho history of the county tho farmers all erected better turns than th 'v did homes. Comfortable shelter for their cattle and horses provided, they set alsiut to secure some of Oie luxuries o lifu for themselves and families. Modern farm houses soon liegan to dot the hills and vallevs, easy carriages and wagons xvtro provided for the comfort of the family, interest xva av:ikeiied in the church and schools, after w hich the homes w ere eiuls-llished with modern furniture cud works of art, until to-day no exclu sively farming community iu all thi wide bind enjoys more comfort and privilege th in do tho sturdy d-u izens of g.M-1 ol 1 Soinet-set. The chief employment of the pe iple of tho con -ity to-day is farming. Tho prin-c-pal crop raised are w lu-at. rye, b.ick xv heat, potatoes and hay. Butter mal.ing is still extensively foiloxvetl, and the manufacture or maple sugar form an item or no insignificant proportion, (razing, too, is extensively folloxvc-d. The mining interests of the county come next in iiuporUiiKM iu point of revonue derived, and after that comes the liimlier industry. The county is almost barren of manufactories, although it tillers except ional advantages for a number that could 1st mentioned. The mot Important manufacturing plant iu tho county lo-day ik the large tannery of W. S. Cobb it Co., recently er-cted at Continence; next in iniiorta!:i e comes the dye manufacturing establishment a Salisbury and the Pulley Works at Berlin. Numerous planing mills, furnishing employment to a lim ited num'oer of men, have la-en erected iu different sections of the county. Towns of the County. SoMKItsKT THE tilfXTV SKAT. Somerset, then called Brunerstow n, was selected by a commission apHiiuted f.r the purpose, as a proper place for the seat of justice on the 12th day of Septem-ts-r, 17!i On the same day the town was laid out, and Adam Schneider, who owned all of that part of the toxxn laying north of the '-C.la.les Uoad," donated to the county the ground upon which the present Court House and Jail now stand. The part tif the Utxvn laying south of the road was owned by the Aukeiiy's and xvas laid out into town lots at the same time. On the 2'ith day of Iiet-ein'oer of the same year the first court xvas held in a noun in the old Welter tavern (on the ite at present occupied by the Hotel Vannear) Judge Alexander Addi tion pra.ileL II? wn at-ii-tfal by James Well., Abraham Cable and Fne neser Orii'lith.

Pax id Pen rod, John Husliand, Karnest Pieitz, Jcs Kimmel, JasjH-r Kitz miller, Adam Ke.Ter, John Coleman, Peter Copp, Michael Bruner, Jacob Zim merman, John Welly, and James Walk er. John Nicola, aud attending grand juror, was dismissed. The constable in attendance wero Jacob Countryman, Brother-valley ; John Heed, of (juema houing; Peter Friodline, of Milford; tJollip Kaynian, of Stonyereek. The first cae tried was Com. vs. Admi Kcitfer, on a charge of having become in toxicated to such an extent that he fell asleep liehind the stove aud could not lie aroused to -ote on questions coming lie fore the grand jury. Adam denied the chaige and the case was put at issue, w ith the result that the jury returned a verdii-t or guilty. The Court imposed a sentence of f-i upon Keller. Six of the remaining ten oa.-es on the calendar were those of the Commonwealth against persons charged w ith keeping tippling Louses. The first jail erected in the county w as in l'.i by Johu Campliell and Josiah F.spy at the moderate cost of ?170.7.j. This building was erected on the site at pres ent occupied by Mr. James McKeIx-ey"s residence. The first Court House was built by I lobt. Spencer. It was complet ed in 102 and cost Vs6"i. A stone jail was erected two years lateral a cost of 2,321 The present Court House was confpleted in ISil, at a cost of al-out $15,- UH A new jail was erected in 1-Vi by John Mong, at a cost of J'i.iVei. The present jail was erected at cost of atiout 1 he Judges who have presided over the courts of this county during the past hundred years are as follows : James Riddle, of Franklin county;. Thomas Cooper and John Young, of Westmore land county ; Thomas H. Baird, of Wash ington county; John Todd, Alexander Thompson, of Bedford ; Jeremiah S. Black, Francis M. Kimmel, of Somerset ; James Nil!, of Franklin county ; Alex ander King. William M. Hall, of Bedford; William J. llaer, of Somerset, and the present incumbent, Judge J. II. Long enecjrer, of Bedford. The b -rough of Somerset was incorpo rated in 1SD4. The original a- of assem bly piovi.led for a mnrket and the holding of two fairs annually. In isio the Somerset Academy was chartered, the State donating $2,(0.1 to it. In !IN the legislature authorized a lot tery the proceed of xvlueh were to go towards the erection of a church In this place. The act authorizing tho lottery xvas repealed liefore the diaxt ing took plin-e, but not until after a r-umls-r of tickets had Ik-cji sobL sold. Thegmxxlh of Somerset has lieeu very gradual, about "J'H being added to the iMipulat ion every ten years. Three sepa rate times the town has been practically "w iped olf the earth" by lire. Tho first serious conflagration occurred in 1S33, when JO out of the Hi dwelling houses were destroyed, with all the principal business houses. The loss was estimated t $sD,(Rkl. The tires of May 9, 17 and of May 5, l'Tii, are still fresh iu the minds of many of or our readers. Suffice it to say that on each of these occasions the entire business portion of the tow n and a majority of tho let rosidoncs were de stroyed. Although the loss by these two couilagratious netted over $l,0on,tM, the people were not disheartened and tin I null occasions set to work to rt build their town 1 fetter than it had 1,-eeu liefore. The result of their elforts is apparent to-day. No town of similar popnlation in the country has so many handsomely built homes, so large and well kept stores, as many beautiful churches, or as elegant and comiuodius hotels. The "Hotel Van near" now just completed compares most favorably w ith hotels in cities of population. The town is well lighted by elei-tricity; the borough own its oxvn water supply, and everything aliout the it marks its people as lieing progres sive and enterprising. MEYKKSIIAI.K. The early history of Meyersdalo begins w ith 17s"i, xx hen Andrew Bcrndreger t.iok up the tract of land upon xxhichthe greater part of the toxx n is situated. He immediately comineintsl clearing tho land, and in 171 built a small grist mill on the banks of the Flaiigherty, which was probably the llrst mill erected with in the present limit of the county. Ijiter lVter Meycis came in possession of the tract aud still later bought much of the surrounding country. Oradually a little village, sprung up i.nniiid the mill, a store and Hist oliice w cer established and up until after the Pi'.Ulmrg A, Coiiiiells ville Kail road wits built the village was known far and wide as Meyer's Mill. For a year or two liefore the town was j incorporated into a lmroi.gh, iu 17!, a determined but uus'.kns-ssIuI eil'ort was made to hax e the tox-. il called Hale City. A compromise was finally eSVeeto.l and tht- town has since It-en U nou n as Mey ers dale.

Mey ersiiale is xvtil and si: Vtantially built, is illuminated ly electricity, has a splendid water supply :-nd a number of the streets of the toxxn are paved with fire brick. The business men of the town are wide-awake and energetic and furnish the people of tl.i.t region with ail of their supplies. IIKIII.I.V. The Berlin or Brothersviilley settlement was cotemjieraneoiis with that of Somer set. The lirst settlers were iermans who cimehithi-r for the pnrjsiseof escaping religous jiersd-utioii; but few oftheir names have Iieen preserved. They w ere stsm foiloweil l.y other setilers from eastern Pennsylvania, who were mem bers of the Brethren or Ixinkard sect, and from whom the toxx nship derived it name. The first settlers took out a patent for a tract or land near the head waters of the Stonyereek, which they christened "Pius Spring," and 177-: the town or Berlin x-. us laid out on it. Tl.e lirst deed on rcii-rd In lhc- county is from Keller and lilessncr to Abndinm Miller, Mj., for lot No. in the toxvn or Berlin. Tiio detsi Iw-ars date ir Aprils, 17:t2, and was entered on the- Sdh, or June, l't The consideration paid by M illcr xvas I, shilling, ami an annual ground rent of one Spanish milled dollar, to be paid on the first Monday of June in each year for the use of the Lutheran and Calvauistic congregations uud of a school or schools for said society. When the town xvas hd I out the isingri galious took the lots alternately. Berlin has always been a very conservative community, not creat ing much stir'or bustle in busine.-w atl'airs, but doing everything quietly and cor rectly. The re.idcuts hax o alw ays Iieen noted for their thrift and for a period or perhaps fifty years it w as the lmast of all the people that there hail not l;ceti a shcriifs sale in Berlin in that time. Ber lin lias Iieen the birth-place or a numls-r of eminent men, attorneys, physicians, minister, Ac SAI.IsHfUY. The F.Ik Lick or Salisbury region set tlement dates back to 17.V1, and xvas cotn-mt-ncod by two men named Tissue and Markley. These men oxvned all or the land in F.Ik Lick aud part or Summit township. The toxvn of Salisbury was Iai.1 out by Joseph Markley, on the loth day of April, 17i. I' liiglas Baker was the surveyor. The groxx th of tiie toxvn was not cry rapid, iMtt it was from the first and remains to-day the tredingceiitre of a large region. Tha Mal fields sur rounding Salisbury have been in a state of partial development Tor a number or years and go to make ii one of the wealth iest communities in the county. The population of Salisbury is alxiut l.uuuaiid the toxvn snpjiorts a lutnk. a number of excellent stores and two hotels. sroVKsr.iw.v. Stoye.stown is one (.f the very oldest set tlements in the county and xias incor porated as a Inirough in l.;. It derives its name from one of the pioneer settlers a man by the name of stoy. Huring the early days of the county's history Sloye toxxn xvas one of the :n.t prosperous towns xvest of tho Allegheny, situated a it w ais on one of the two public highways leading from the east to west. Stoves town was one of the first towns in the county to have telegraphic communica tion, an oliice having boon established there as soon as the xvires had Iieen erect, ed that far along the Philadelphia aud Pittsburg pike, aliout I"i7. Huriug the first years of the civil war the people or Somerset got all or their first news of tat tles that had Iieen fought lietweon the I'nion and Ite'iel forces via Stoyesto.x n. Several good hotels and general stores are to be round in that place. rKTKusurnu am so.mkrkikli. The Addison settlements Petersburg and SomerficM, were eslaoiisnetl aliout the year 1IS, upon the completion of the National I toad, and fromthen until Vc2, w hen railroad communication xvas estali 1 is bed between the east and theOhio river, they were lioth nourishing villages. The stone bridge spanning the river at Somer field is a w ork of architectural licauty as well as massive structure. Soniertield has taken a fresh spurt since the completion of the Confluence A Oakland Ilailroad and is again an important business centre. IIIXKLCKM i: AXD VRSINA. Both of these towns sprung into exist ence during the days of construction on the Pittsburg and Connellsville ltailmad. A number of the officers of the railroad company became interested in i'untiuencu and it was irviposed to erect the shops of the company at that plat?. These plans fell through however, aud although Con fluence is an ideal location for a city, its progress has been retarded. Kecently a large tanning plant giving employment to I'D men was erected at that place, I'rsina's grow th has also been retarded, but w hen the rich mineral resources of the territory surrounding it are develop ed it will lcco:oe the prosperous tow n it was intended to be iioovtnsviLi.E.

It w as torn down almut Isli Bev. Iuig preach etl here for a liitmU'r of years. He also looked after the spiritual w aiils of several congregations in Somerset township. The Kcforiiicd Church, of Somerset, was organized by Kev. Henry Oiesey, who had served as chaplain and surgeon of a Hessian regiment during the Kevolutionary War. The Methodists organized a congrega tion in Somerset aliout l-sju. It appears from the records that Pres byterian preachers visited here and inn ducted st-rx ices as early as 17'j7.
