MAX. GREENE, ESQ.—This gentleman is
in Hollidaysburg, and we notice by apublish
ed correspondence in the papers that he was
to have lectured there on Friday evening last.
Among the, names on the card of invitation
we notice those of Dr. H. T. Coffey, Hon.
Sam'l Cal Vin, Thad. Banks, Esq. and Judge
Taylor. Mr. Greene in his reply to the corn
mittee of invitation, says :
My subject will be "The Kansas Region,"
and will be descriptive of the country, from
actual observation—its general character, soil,
scenery, climate, &c.
Mr. G. is an able and interesting writer as
we know from his book entitled "The Kan
sas Region," and a personal acquaintance
with him enables us to dub him a gentleman
in every respect. We have heard some of
our neighbors express their desires that he
would call around this way.
History of the 4uniata Valley
We have received from U. J. JONES ) Esq.,
the author, a copy of the History of the Ju
niata Valley. After what we have heretofore
said of the publication it is but necessary for
us to add that it fully redeems the promises
made in its regard. It is larger, and gotten
up in better style than we expected it would
be, and no man after reading it can regret
the small such expended on its purchase.
The following tribute to the work is from
the pen of one of our citizens who will be
readily recognized :
MR. LEWIS :-I have just finished, with
some care and much more pleasure, the read
ing of " Jones' Juniata Valley," but only a
few days issued from the press. It is indeed
a work of much merit and interest, and it
seems impossible how the author could have
so well succeeded in gathering the scattered
facts of so remote and traditional a period to
gether, as to form so complete and connected
a history.
The broken, and sometimes contradictory
incidents heretofore given as "Historical Rec
ollections," &sc., had led me to suppose that
it was beyond the power and means of any
individual of the present day, to collect into
anything like historical order, the stirring
events and struggles of that remote period,
after the actors in its scenes had all left us.
But Mr. Jones has succeeded most perfectly,
and established his historic ability, also, in
the work alluded to, by the most correct and
philosophical views of the motives and man
ners of the times,. and of Indian and back-
Woods character ; whilst his rich, flowing,
graphic, and English style will not suffer in
the most critical comparison with that of the
" Leather Stocking," or " Jibenainosay," in
description.
Many will receive this work into their
houses as an old friend, recognizing, within
its pages, the stirring " fireside" legends of
their ancestors; always to them heretofore,
detached and broken, without names ordates,
but• now, and here, grouped into the consist
ent, beautiful and true.
My grandfather, himself one of the early
settlers upon the Juniata, and myself, born
and reared within its valley, I have ever lis
tened with profound delight, to its antiquity
and history; and the story of its recollections
from the lips of the old, have so often hung
around my young brain in childhood, that the
dreams of night have been peopled with dusky
shadows, and disturbed by horrible war-cries.
And so in riper years, have I frequently
wished that loould call up before me the hid
den and lost actions of its inhabitants, red
and white, upon the scenes on which they
were enacted. With this view, have I de
lighted to converse in my boyhood, with the
Pioneers of the valley. .Henry Lloyd, Esq.,
of Woodcock Valley, from whose lips I learn
ed the story of the massacre of the two young
men near McConnellstown, (the only inci
dent _known to me not in this book.) They
had left the fort to see about the state
of things at home s which the family had de
serted for the fort some days before. They
were alarmed•in their cabin during the night
by the barking of a dog, and one of them on
opening the door was shot and fell ; the other
leaped a fence into a patch or garden full of
grown weeds, when he fell, having also re
ceived the enemy's fire. The other, their
companion, escaped. Their bodies were
brought to the fort the next morning, and
slumber with the Donnelly's in Mr. Orbison's
garden : with Col. Fee, my revered and be
loved old neighbor, who could tell about the
tory Hare, and was present at the death of
Louderslager; and his full dark eye would
flash when he 'poke it, and of the murder of
Mrs. Eaton and her children; a daughter in
law of whom lived in my father's family, au
infirm but irritable inmate, when I was but
six years old. Well do I remember old
c ' Betty Eaton," for my young but mischiev
ous bones, often felt the weight of her old

taking my lisping patriotism in singing the
" Battle of Lundy's Lane," for an impeach
ment of her veracity.—Of his own ludicrous
encounter with a yearling colt, when out on
a scout on Warriorsridge, which kept him
treed for two hours, waiting for a fair break
upon his dark opponent " behind the other
tree." He had seen the colt's ear, and heard
the crackling of the rubbish, and immediate
ly, as he expressed it, " went to cover,"
where after watching with impatient wrath
for two mortal hours, the poor innocent brute
stepped forth from the shade under which it
had been resting—and was "only a colt!"
and his old eyes would dance and fill with
mirth as he recounted the ineitlent.
With Sheriff Patton, himself an actor in
the expedition to overtake Weston and the
tories in. their march to Kittanning. But
these, and ten fold more than these, I find
embodied in this work, of which I had not
heard, now gathered and written after they
are all dead and gone.
The battle on page 184, between the tribes
of the Tuscaroras and Standing Stone, I re
member to have heard spoken of, from my
earliest recollection. As a historical fact, I
think, nothing is better attested. But what
were its details, its great warriors names, its
order and strategy—its survivors or victims ;
its deeds of personal prowess, its causes—
were they of love or pride? had the young
chief of the Oneidas sought a stolen partner
amongst the fawn daughters of The Tuscaro
ras? Or had a chief of the Tuscaroras fallen
beneath the shaft or tomahawk of a " Stand
ing Stone ?" These are enquiries that sug
gest themselves to the mind. And once, in
deed, in my younger and more romantic days,
filled with these speechless voices, and re
solved to give them utterance, I had com
menced a story founded upon it, but I never
finished it; and 1 am glad for my reputation
that I never committed the folly to print.—
The battle was fought about 2 miles below
Mount Union, and within view of where my
ancestors resided. 1 could point out the spot
to-day, so well in my childhood still marked
by the mouldering relics of its dead. My
father cleared the land upon which it was
fought, and upon which the bones of its
slaughtered multitude were found, establish
ing how terribly it must have been contested.
This was in the year 1802; and up till that
day, no white man knew the precise spot.—
But upon breaking up the c;earing, for the
extent of au acre, he found his shovel plow,
then used for that purpose, rattling and boun
cing among human bones, confined and settled
in the bound earth by the weight of more
than a century. He stopped to examine,
when he first unsealed this charnel bed, struck
with curiosity, and he often told me, that
amid that decayed mass of human relics, he
counted at least twelve scull bones, in which
time and decay, and all the decomposing
forces of nature had not been able to erase
the clean track of the hatchet. Thus was
the spot established on which this great bat
tle was fought perhaps more than two centu
ries ago. It was no ordinary cemetery_! The
traces of violence were too plainly there. It
was the battle-field of the Tribes,—the rest
ing places of the dusky barbarians who had
went down upon it in wrath, in fierce conflict
with each other, long before the pale faces
had violated their hunting grounds. Tradi
tion, alone, till then, had told its history.—
Now the earth had opened her bosom, and
urreudered her records, to attest its truth.--
From the immense quantity of remains found,
it was supposed to be the grave of riot less
than a thousand warriors.
The work contains nearly. 400 pages, is
neatly and elegantly gotten up in its execu
tion, and should be in every family in the
Suniata.Valley. T. P. C.
A MAN \vial! NINE WIVES.—We clip the
following from the Hamilton, (Ohio) Intelli
t-renter The notorious Nathan Brown, the
most remarkable bigamist ever known, in
America, was brought by officer Elliot, the
other day, from near Jeffersonville, Indiana,
under a requisition from Gov. Chase. He is
reputed to have nine living wives ! His
practice has been to live with each about
three mouths ; get hold of their property, and
desert them. He is now safe in Butler coun
ty jail, at the instance of his seventh wife, a
resident of this city. The old sinner is fifty
three years of age, and has married three
wives within two years.

MARRIED,

of Broad Top, Fulton county, and Miss CATH
ARINE DONNELSON of Broad' Top, Hun

DIED,
On Saturday 3d inst. in this borough, JOHN
M. SULLIVAN, aged about 27 years.
The subject of this notice was a native of Ire
land, and emigrated to this country when eigh
teen years of age. By industry and perseve
rance he obtained the necessary means to enter
the Academy at Shade Gap, then under the care
°Rile Rev.J. Y. McGinnis, from whom, and
his excellent Lady, he received the kindest and
most affectionate treatment. About that time
he became the subject of Divine Grace, and
united himself to the church in that place. In
the spring of 1854, he entered the Sophinore
class of La Fayette College, Easton, Pa., where
he remained, enjoying in no common d• gree
the respect and warm regard of the Faculty,
and Students, until in December last, when a
cold and cough under which lie had been la
bouring for four months previous, had so far
exausted his strength that his Physician advised
him to abandon his studies, and visit for a while
among his friends in the hope that such recrea
tion might be beneficiaLto his health. But that
Master whom ho loved and to whom he had
consecrated his life, had otherwise determined,
and after a long period of suffering, during
which patience had its perfect work, he calmly
"fell asleep in Jesus," crying wills his latest
breath, "come Lard Jesus, come quickly."—
"And so he giveth his beloved sleep."
