Nothing but old Mr. Jupiter Pluvius

"Frosty Soaj of Tiniid'r."
II -cry II ill in Pittslmn: Tii.ie.
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

Vannear) Judge Alexander Addi

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

1 he Judges who have presided over the
courts of this county during the past
hundred years are as follows : James

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.
