When the lU-volutionary War broke
out there were but four townships in
what is now Somcsret county and these
sartly nettled, but the people were
at riot ie and aided all they could in
I he cause of human lilicrty.
Mr. Havid Husband, in his history of
Somerset County, says: "When the
news of (he kittle of Ia-xinjrtoii was
n.ade known, the patriotism of the sct
thnieiits burst forth in a blaze of ex
citement. The spirit of the people was
manifested bv raising a comtiny of ri
flemen who under the command of
Captain Hit-hard IJrown marched ofi'to
the seat of war. lirown was promoted
to the position of Colonel. He fought
at iht' battle of Long Island, where he
was taken prisoner. The balance of
the company was taken to Charleston,
South Carolina, where they assisted in
the defense of Fort Moultrie. They
were afterwards in different actions
daring the war, and but few of them
returned to the settlement"
luringthe ulisence of these volun
teer iccurred the only troulJe with
Indians that we have any account of in
the history of the county. This was the
hooting of James Wells while attempt
ing to harvest some oats on an isolated
farm in the northern part of the settle
ment He was attacked by a party of
marauding savages and in his flight re
vived four bullets in his body. He
was saved by the presence of mind of
a young lady who met him in the edge
of the woods and gave him her horse,
while she coucealcd herself in the un
derbrush. Wells was taken to Colonel
Brown's block-house which was located
on the old Samuel Will lae, near
Somerset, now occupied by Wiudficld
S. Walker.
Herman Husband, the only surgeon
in the settlement, dressed the wounds
and extracted three of the Italls and
the fourth Wells carried to his grave.

Although the county was created on
ly twelve years after the close of the
Revolutionary War aud eight years af
ter the adoption of the Federal Consti
tution it was given an Hiiglih name, as
had many of the counties prior to the
jri -at struggle, namely Chester, Ian

hograjhy c-onsiilerably mix til, when
they spelt it "Summerset"
Tiie name is something ukii which
ve can congratulate ourselves, for not
withstanding the wars of 177and lIi,
Kuuland is the mother country from
whence we derived our language and
in a large measure our literature and
laws. The great body of the common
law of Knglaiid was brought here by
our forefathers and forms the liasis of
our judicial system, and we rival the
English people in our admiration for
Shikesjieare, Milton, Pope, Byron and
lit my others of the distinguished liter
ary characters, and we render equal
homage to the memory of the immortal
Barns along with our own Iigfellow,
Whitlicr, Kmerson, Hawthorne and
numerous others. All of these are the
common heritageof the Knglish speak
ing jieople. .
TIIK liKVrXnPXKVr OF THE IXH STV.
The next thing in order for our con
sideration is the development of the
-ounty, which naturally suggests two
divisions: First, The material develop
ment ; Second, The intellectual devel
opment of its people.
THK MATKKIAL KKVKIH'MKXT.
The original settlers were busily en
gaged in providing food and clothing
for themselves and families. Thev were
not troubled with over-production. At
first there was nothing to sell except
furs and jielt taken in hunting. As
the country gradually became nettled
and the land was cultivated, rye was
raised and as the market for it, an well
as the product of the chase, was dis
tant, the manufacture of whisky le
caine a general industry, and as a re
sult of this the manufacture of IkmtcIs
aud other vessels in which to store the
product of the rye. The distilling of
whisky attracted the attention of the
Federal authorities at that early day,
is does now the business of the "moon
shiner," aud the result was the whisky
insurrection in Western Pennsylvania.
The construction of the great turn
pikes through the county develojied a
more diversified industrial activity.
Bye was still raised for the distillery,
but it was no longer the main staple of
C'Miimerce. Over the highways asscd
a continuous stream of wagons and ve
hicles of every sort, including stage
coaches, road wagons filled often with
immigrants seeking homes iu the new
world, and immense drove of cattle,
sheep and horses. To feed the horses
and jiasture the cattle, it became nec
essary to raise grass aud oats, aud this
trade and travel gave business to the
landlord and fanner, to the tanner, the
w agou-niuker, the blacksmith, the sad-
tiler and a number of oilier industries.
In the towns aud villages of that day
many trades were pursued by men of
small capital, who carried on their
work with the aid of journeymen and
apprentices, who worked from "early
niofn to dewy eve." Ill this town, when
I wfts a boy, there Were three tanneries,
2 hat manufactories two potteries; n-w
there are none. This is p?rhap a true
picture of what has taken place else
where. They have all disappeared and
have In-en swallowed tip by the large
manufactories, and the unskilled wage
earner is left to fight the battle with
his fellow worker for the right to work
yea almost the right to live.
The business of dairying was exten
sively carried on, and the product of
this county was immense. tUade but
ter, as it was called, was carried to sev
eral iHiiuts east, but Baltimore was the
principal market, and by means ot tins
business and our mcrenanis making
semi-annual visits to the eastern cities
to purchase their goods, a close busi
ness connection was had with 1 lnla-
delphiaaud Baltimore. Previous to
is.") the trade in (Jlade butter was con-
trolled by aeveml merchants in Balti
more, but after that, it passed into the
hands of seve ral commission merchants
of that city, prominent among whom
was the firm of J. J. Harvey & (om
pany. The bulk of the trade went to
this house owing to the large acquaint
ance of Mr. Harvey with our people.
He informed me that there were 21,-
(m kegs of butter shipped in one sea.
son from thus and a few of the adjoin
ing counties, the greater portion of
which came from this county, worth
from $?VW to i1fl,0i; that 14,000
kegs of that year's shipment went to the
house of J. (i. Harvey & Co., and the
largest single sale of t! lade butter made
by the house was 5,M kegs to an Eng
lish shipjK-r, Uing the largest ever
made in that, or any other market
The manufacture of maple sugar
has grown to be a large industry in
our county. I u the early days of Smi-
i rset countv very little corn or wheat
was raised, lut by the improved meth
ods of farming in the last twenty years,
as fine wheat and corn are raised here
as in almost any section of country,
and wheat has liconie an article of ex
port. The industry most intimately
related to farming is milling. The firt
settlers had no null, but either went
a gn.-at distance to have their grain
ground, or pounded it in a mortar or
ground it in a coffee-mill. The tuls-
iit til was first used, and there were scv-
er.il of iliein in the count v as early as
17S0, one ofthem iu Kik Lick township
The stream on which it was erected
still liears the name of "Tub mill" run,
and a post'jfliee his recently been named
"Tub." In the course of time improve
ments were made in the grist mills, but
iu the last ten or fifteen years the in
troduction of the roller process has
revolutionized the milling business
over the country.
The improved agricultural machinery
has revolutionized the busiuenu of the
farmer ami we now scarcely ever
the old-fashioned scythe, or any of the
old implements of husbandry. Who
does not remember the rhythm pro
duced by mowers iu the meadow
whetting their scythes, and who can
ever farget the sound of the flail upon
the liirn floor on a crisp winter niorn-
in", as it resounded over hill and val
lev? To the farmer once accustomed to
these pounds, but heard no more, they
will forever linger, as sweet recollect
ions iu his memory.
The wool industry, while it never
r.se to very great importance, was at
one time actively carried on in various
parts of the county. Fifty years ago
nearly every fanner had a thick of
sheep to furnish wool for winter appa
rel, and the cultivation of flax was nec
essary to produce summer wear. The
woolen mill, the oil mill and the card
ing machine were necessary in connec
tion with the wool industry, but they
have nearly all disappeared.
The spinning wheel and flax wheel
are almost things of the past
The earliest iron works established
in the countv were forges for convert
ing raw pig metal into malleable iron.
One of them was on Shade creek, ul-m-st
a mile from Shade Furnace;
another on Laurel Hill creek, between
Trent and Bakersville.
Furnaces were afterwards erected at
B H kingham, Shade, Forwardstown
and W-.-llersburg, but all have disajs
I tea red.
The most extensive industry of late
years, after agriculture, has liecn the
lumlier business, and our forests are
fist disappearing and the land denu
ded of the timber. Of the mining oj-e.-at
ions and the agricultural dcvclop
im-n t of the county, others are to sjk-ak,
o I will make no reference to them.
To sum up the material progress of
the county, we have the following re
sults: For the first settler that came
here almost one hundred and thirty
five years ago, we had a jiopulation in
Is-..) or .S7,:'.17, and presumably now
0 M. For the first family that came
here we had in ls'.m, 7,3V) families,
probably now over n,0:ki; and in lieu of
the first cabin there were in 1 s;l 7.022
dwellings, and now perhaps over 7,-VI0.
Iu addition to the turnpikes, which
were at one time the great highways
for the commerce of the country, we
have now seven railroads in the coun
ty. The Pittsburg & Connellsville, ex
tending through the southern jiortioii
of the county; the Somerset & Cambria,
the Berlin, Salisbury, and Continence
& Oakland, all portions of the Pitts
burg division of the Baltimore fc Ohio
Bail road, and in addition to these the
Keystone and I'rsina railroads. For
the simple implements of hushatdry
we have the most improved agricultur
al machinery. For the old tub mill we
have the mills with roller process. For
the old Conetoga wagon, we have the
Pullman palace car, and liesides we
have the telegraph, the telephone, elec
tric light and waterworks.
IXTKLMXTTAL DKVKIjW'MEXT.
It can readily be understood that the
knowledge of the first settlers and
their means of 2cquiriug knowledge
were very limited. While they were
men of strong, vigorous sense, and
some, like Herman Husband, men of
intellectual force, as a body they were
plain jieople, struggling for existence
against the force of nature. As the
country gradually liecame settled
schools were established, and here and
there throughout the county there
were iersons who liecame noted as
teachers. Prominent among them
were Jost J. Stutzman and his son,
Professor Joseph J. StuUman, of this
place, Ixith of whom iosses.sed in an
eminent degree not only the faculty of
imparting knowledge to their pupils,
but also of arousing in their minds an
ambition to exvl. As long as the
people of the county appreciate the
value of education, the memory of
these men will lie held in las.ing
-stvm.
Whilst we have none of the higher
schools of learning, the common school
system has lx-en developed to a ' high
degree in this county. We have 3!)
school districts, 2:54 school directors,
24 schools, 2!1 teachers and 11,1:17
pupils, with an average daily attend
ance of 7,'.i.'U, aud the total expenditure
for the j-ear ending 1st June, ls!), was
:r.,724.;5.
Journalism in this county has kept
up with the march of impiovemciit,
and we now" have five newspapers in
Ihe county, which for neatness of typo
graphical execution, for their diligence
ii furnishing the latest news and the
ability displayed in conducting them,
make them rank with the liest weekly
paper of any other county of the State.
The increased trade and commerce
of the county have developed .1 class of
merchants noted foi their business
skill, for their high sense of honor and
their fidelity to all their obligations.
The physicians of the county have
always held high rank in their pro
fession and the clergy have been noted
for their learning aud eloquence.
Of the leiicli and Iwr another has
sNikeu aud therefore I shall not enter
to any extent uin this subject. Som
erset county has furnished several
judges; one of them was the Hon.
Jeremiah S. Black, who, after occu
pying the bench in this county, became
Chief Justice of the State, afterward
Attorney General of the United States
and then Secretary of State of the
1'iiited State. From the bar of this
county Hon. Joseph Williams went to
Iowa and became Chief Justice of that
State. Hon. Moses Hampton went
from this bar to Allegheny oounty and
became a iuciuUt of Congress and
judge of the court.
Hon. P. M- Kimnicll was a dis
tinguished memlier of this bar, was an
eloquent advocate and was elepted
judge of the then judicial district ; and
Hon. W. J. Baer, after a successful
practice at the bur, was also elevated
to the bench and discharged the duties
of his office with marked ability.
Hons. Chuunccy Forward, Charles
Ogle and A. J. Ogle were eminent law
yers and statesmen, along with many
others that might he named, and one.
of the brightest intellect that the
county ever produced was Dr. William
Elder, phyMelan, lawyer, writer on
political economy and one of the most
eloquent orators that ever appeared
upon the platform.
I have endeavored, with the means
of information I could command and
with such time as I could give to the
subject, to outline as briefly as I could
some of the principal features of the
growth and development of our county.
for it must lie apparent to any one who
will give it a moment's thought, that
it is inqiossihle to give within the
limits of a sjccch that would not ex
haust the patience of the audience,
"Au Historical Sketch of Somerset
Comity."
I may add, however, that the history
of Suuerset county is the history of
our own Stale, to which forty-live
counties have U-eu added since Somer
set county was created ; and the history
of Pennsylvania is, in a great measure,
the history of our country, and now,
instead of being the Keystone of the
Arch of J: States, there are now 44
States stretching from the shores of
the Atlantic to the Pacific toast, and
from the British Dominion on the
north to the waters of the Ciulf of Mex
ico on the south.
There is ample room for the historian
and the novelist to enrich the literature
of the future by the material furnished
in the growth and development of our
great State, tojtortray the story of its
settlement and to bring out in lively
colors tiie scenes and incidents con-
nected with its early history, and to
descrilie in glowing tennsthe exquisite
beauty of its scenery, of its broad
rivers, lofty mountains and lieautiful
valleys.
One hundred years ago Scotland was
as rich and lieautiful in its scenery a
it was a quarter of a century later, and
the world paid but little heed to it; but
by aud by there came a young lawyer
from Ediuburg, and by his magic touch
every hiil and mountain, every lake
and valley was clothed with a new
beauty to the traveler- "Before his
time its history was unknown. It was
a confused conglomeration of antique
relics in the midst of which noliody
save Mr. Dryasdust could live. Passing
among their remains the genius of
Scott stirred the dry bones and made
them live. The lakes and the moun
tains were the same as they are now;
generation after generation, lth of
natives and strangers, htared at them
and saw nothing remarktble. He dis
covered their beauty and divulged it
to the world, and so closely has his
name been associated with his own ro
mantic country that unsophisticated
foreigners sometimes fancy that it was
called Scotland after him."
What the genius of the "Wizard of
the North" has done for Scotland has
yet to le done for Pennsylvania, and
more particularly for Somerset county,
that sits enthroned on the AHcgheliies
in all the plenitude of her matchless
lieauty.
Iu reviewing the history of S-.imerset
county we must not le unmindful of
the fact that many of her sons and
daughters have gone from her borders,
and they and their descendants are
se.ittered over the great States of the
West, from Ohio to California and
Oregon.
S.niie of them are with us to-day,
and thousands more, if they knew of
this interesting occasion, would like to
lie here, for doubtless all of those who
once lived here have niiny a time and
oft exiericnced the feeling so beauti
fully expressed in James Whitcomh
Biley's poem, "'Mongst the Hill of

And now as we celebrate the one
luiiidredth anniversary of the existence
of CUr county and also the day which
gave" lilserty to this country, may we
m. reasonably indulge a feeling of
pride in the history of our county, of
our State, and our great republic, the
United States of America.
Mulhall, the great English statis
tician, says of this country, that "If
we take a survey of mankind in ancient
or modern time as regards the physi
cal, mechanical and intellectual force
of nations, we find nothing to compare
w ith the United State in this present
epoch, 1S9.3." That "the United States
osses almost as much energy a t J rent
Britain, Germany and France collect
ively;" that "an ordinary fanu hand
in the United States raises as much
grain a three in England, four in
Fram-e, five in Germany or six in
Austria."
He further says that "The intellect
ual power of the great republic is in
harmony with the Industrial and
mechanical. The census of IS!) showed
that eighty-seven per cent of the total
population over ten years of age could
read and write. It maybe fearlessly
asserted that in the history of the
human race no nation ever before pos
sessed 41,JO0,utJO instructed citizens."
To this high encomium It may be
added, that in our country greater op
portunities are affbrded, the masses of
the people than in any other land
under the sun ; that here human rights
have been a'tiiined in a higher degree
than in all the ages that have preceded
us; that the liberties of this country
won by the sires of tUe I evolution and
preserved by the brave men of 1H13 and
the boys in blue of JSil are not only
for us, but will bless countless millions
of the human family In the future.
Kcaluing then the greatness of our
country, its proud position among the
nations of the earth, Its mighty influ
ence for good to all mankind in the
uplifting of the masses of the jieople
and spreading the domain of human
liberty, may we not say In the lan
guage of the jioct :
Itrcsithes there the mini with aoitl so destd
Who never to himself hath said.
This la my own, my native land V
Whose heart Until ne'er within htm humed.
As home his fxtKteai he hath turned,
Kroin wandering on a foreign strand?
If such there breathe, go, mark him well ;
For him no minstrel ruptures swell;
High though his titles, proud his name,
liotiudlcss his wealth as wish cull claim,
lH-spite those titles, power, and pelf.
The retch, conceiitnsl nil In self,
I Jving, shall forfeit fair renown.
And, doubly dyinjj, shall go down
To the vile dus-'t from whence he sprung,
L'nwept, uuhonored and unsung."

If Carl Browne and his wife, the late
Mamie Coxey, attempt to cany out the
programme of a public wedding on the
steps of the National Capitol, they will
lie arrested by the Washington jailice for
disorderly conduct and sent to the Work
house, says a IHxittrh from that city.
Such a ceremony cannot lie carried out
without a permit and this, it is said, the
crack-brained Lieutenant of the Common

for additional notoriety will get him into
trouble again.

Twelve miners who work at the Ash
land Coal company's mint's at lloovers
ville, Somerset county, went out on a
strike Thursday to recover two months'
lutek pay. It scons that, the com
pany has not Ih-cii paying the men regu
larly for some time. An equal niiiiilier
went out several weeks ago and have
sought work elsewhere. The men de
clare that they will not go to work until
every cent of their wages is forthcoming.
As a consequence the miners are now
idle.

The score or more of ieiuale teachers, re
cently appointed to servo the public
schools of West Chester by the Imard for
the ensuing year, are required to sign an
agreement not to marry during the year
which their appointment covers. This
rule was jmt in force a year ago, and the
result, so says a dispatch, was very satis
factory. Courting will le permitted, but
not during school hours. The directors
do not pose as ls-ing against matrimony,
but they say that the adoption of this
courau was nlnK'hlt. ly necessary in order
to avert breaches hi the corps when it was
least desirable.
"We had au epidemic of dysentery
in this vicinity last summer," say
Samuel S. Pollock, of Briccland, Cal.
"I was taken with it and suffered
severely until some one called my at
tention to 1'hauihcrlaiiiV Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. I jirocured a
bottle and felt Is tter after the first dose.
Before one-half of the bottle had been
used I was well. I recommended it to
my friends and their experience was
the same. We all unite in saying it Is
the liest." For sale at Bcnford's

The question is repeatedly stsked.
Which, is tho more profitable, the duck
pr tho hen? In order to decide this mat
ter au enterprising poultrymati, I'. H.
Jacobs, Hammonton, N. J., madua test.
The result is reported as follows:
At a week old the dnokiing wti:;'ied
4 ounces whilo the chick only reached C
ounces. At 3 weeks old the dacUing
reached 0 ounces, and the chick got up
to 4 ounce?. At 8 weeks, duckling
1 pound; thick, C'X ounces. At 4
weeks duckling 1 ponud 0 ounos
chi:k, 10 ounces. At 5 weeks duck
ling 3 pounds 9 Guiiees; chick. 1 1
ounces. At 0 weeks old, duc-kliug 3
pounds 11 ounces; chick, 1 pound 2'i
ounces. At 7 week old, duckling 3
pounds S ounces; chick, I pound li
ounces. At 8 weeks old, duckling 4
pounds; chick, 1 pound 12 ounces. At
9 weeks old, duckling 4 pcuuds 8
ounce?; chick, 2 pounds.
So it can be seen that in tho sam'
timo the wtight cf tho chick was
doubled by that of tho duck. Tho prices
for dressed carcasses run very close to
each other, so that tho increased price
per pound makes the profits on tho duck
greater, although it takes about twico
the amount of food to grow them.

A Miner's Experience.
A Hardy Welsh Miner of Dravosburg
Tell a Story of Deep
Interest to All.
Across the river from McKecsport is the
little town of Dravoshurg. Its resideats
are mostly miners, hardy men who work
in the coal pits nearby. Alany of them
are v ilshtnen, and such is Mr. Roger
lidmunds well-known man throughout
the valley. When Mr. Edmunds became
afflicted with a back trouble that made
htm practically a cripple his case com
manded the attention and sympathy of
his numerous friends; hut thos days are
past aud gone, the miner once more can
do a miner's work; and 'tis the cause of
this wondrous change that Jlr. Edmunds
speaks of here. We will let hitn tell it
as he did to our reprcsentativs. He says:
"l'or two years or more I' have been a
cripple from my back. It would be an
impossibility to describe the tortures I
have suffered during that time. I could
not rise from a chair without aid; re
quired assistance to sit down. I am a coal
miner, and I have often crawled to the
pit in tbe morning, so bad was my con
dition, and be forced to return home
again unable to do anything. Sometimes
I was so bad I have loaded wagons on
niv knees, utterly unable to stand op.
I tried everything for a cure of my trou
ble, and exhausted every means that I
knew of, but medicine seemed to have
lost iU virtue so far as I was concerned.
I doctored until I finally gave up in
despair, completely disgusted, and doubt-:
ing the existence of a cure for my case,
and believing there was no help lor me.
Some time ago my wife got at the drug
store of J. C. Smith. McKeesport, a po
of Doan's Kidney Pills, persuading me tp
try thtm. I took them to please her,
never expecting to be a well man again.
I felt better after the third dose. I used,
three boxes in all, and I am now as strong
aud supple a man as I ever was. Fof
two years I could only load one wagon a
day; at the pit now I frequently load five.
My back is strong once more, and my cura
nothing short of a miracle. Doan's Kid
ney Tills have been a blessing to me. I
shall never be without them in th
house."
