The Direct and House Tax of Mil
ford Township, in tii9 Days of
tne Mot Y ater vV ar.
E' PKOK. A. L. GUSS,
or acxrisGiHiN, ra.
The Government of the United
Suites desired to raise a revenue to
rtdui e tiie heavy debt incurred in the
Revolutionary var, various expedi
ents were resorted to, with enly par
tial success. As early as 17SJ, by
acts of Congress and of this State,
the assessors were required to take
an inventory of the nuaiber of mTes
held by each person, and the build
ings thereon distiniruishing dwell
ings from other buildings wlllch
lists were transmitted to Congress,
l'inilly; It cnltnimted in tiia iuirio.-i-tion
of several " direct tixes," and
among- tiiee was what was known as
a '-hoa-e ias."
I do not know what the exact pro
visions of the house tax law were,
tot haviiii; seen the act, but aaionr
other duties it required the assessor?
to measure the houses, from wiiich it
eems that the t ix was graded by the
size of the dwellings. I am under
the impression that it was at this
same time that window panes were
taxed, under the i lea thut they were
h lasury rather tiisn a necrit-ity.
which caused s0:jo people to v.ull up
Home of their windows, as I am in
formed. TIig RsvolutloEiry war had made
Borne inconsiderate persons impatient
of all legid restraint, and certain

of the people, who Lad even served
in the war. wore fr from being law

or imaginary, by means of a inib, or
a diminutive rebellion, was repeated

advocates of liberty. Among these
the AVhisky Insurrection of 'Western

noted.
meat in the counties of Bucks, Le
liigh, Northampton, Berks and Mont
gomeryj in conseiuence of the at
tempts of the Federal government to
collect the Housj TiX. It was first
commenced by the women, nho, from
the peculiar weapons used by them
in this encounter, won f jr it the name
of "The H A Water War." One John
Fries was the leader of an organized
pang, which ranged the country with
life and drum, with a feather in the
leader's hat He was a vendue cryer.
and had a smooth tongue. His lieu
tenants were Heany and Getman.
Their headquarters were in Milford
townfhip, Buck county, I'a., frcm
which it is often called "the Iilford
Rebellion." The assaulted assessors,
i'arranguetl public meetings, fore
warned officers, and in Uarch, 17'Jl.
marched to Bethlehem and rescued
some of their number then under ar
rest. Prominent among these insur
gents was a German preacher named
iyerman.
Finally the President sent on armed
force and arrested about thirty-five
of the ringleaders. Fries was cap
tured in a swamp, betrayed by K:b
kittle dog, "Whisky," wiiich always
accompanied him. He was tried and
convicted of high treason, and con
demned to be hung, but was after
wards pardoned by President Adams.
Many of the others were also tried,
convicted, fined and imprisoned.
Zjerman bad denounced Congress as
a set of "verdaramte spitz-Lube." He
fled to New York, but was brought
back and sentenced to & fine of 530
and one year's imprisonment.
The above is an interesting bit of
extraneous history. I do not kr.ow
that there was any resistance or dis
Eatisfaction to tho Direct and Hou-e
taxes in this county. There was no
record kept of these tax lisU that I
am aware of, but the foiloving, c f
Milford township, then embracing
also the present Turbett, Spruce HLJ
and Beaie townships, is aeopy pre
served among some old papers in the
hands of "W. W. Wilson, Es,., and
came from Lis father, George iLson,
Eeq., who was most probably the col
lector of the same. There is no date
to the list, Lnt its internal evidence
fixes it in 1798. It will le observed
that 6ome names are cn loth for Di
rect and House tax, and some are
only on for one Compared with the
regular county assessments for that
year (now in my possession) it seems
that not one-fourth of the taxable of
the tomship are on this list ; nor are
these given here in every c&3e those
paying the largest State and county
taxes, thongh generally they are uch.
The taxes are estimated in dollars,
cents and mills. In all the tax lists
of Mifflin county of which Juniata
was then a pari the change from
pounds end (shillings to dollars end
cents first appears in 1739." The list
shows how precise iLij were at that
lime, counting not only the mills but
half mills.
Cromwell bought the old Forge at
sheriffs sale in November, 1797.
Rjale and Sterreit built it McClel
land kept tavern and ferry at Patter
son. Fahnestock lived on the Jen
kins place below Johnstown, Dough
man at Sterrett's, McCormick at
Aughey's, and I might go on and lo
cate most of the names.
I have found no other list of these
Direct and House taxes in this sec
tion, but in Harrisburg I found a pa
per with this qnnint enumeration for
my grandfather in 1799 : "Achy Hen

story high of logs, one barn, three
stables three horse creatures and four
horned cattle" valuation 550.
The lists for the House tax were
prolwbly all sect away or lost it
would be hard to recover them now.
Hence this scrap is so much the more
interesting. After this unpremedi
tatedly long int'odiit tion, I here sub
join the list just as I found it, ex

McLaughlin, and Cox were prrscnt in the
Commissioners' office on Monday, to wit
ness the instalation of their successors,
Messrs. McMeen, '.Vilson, and McWilliaros.
From the chiracter of the new board it is
reasonable to inter, and predict, that their
administration will be as successful as that
of the gentlemen wliom they succeed.
They Organized by electing Mr. Vilson
President ot the Board, and by appointing
Jeremiah Lyons, Attorney, James Irwin,
Clerk, and John I'iehl, Court House Janitor,
all first-rate appointments.
The same day also witnessed the retire
ment of Mr. A. J. Patterson, as District
Attorney, and the induction into tha same
office cf Mr. George Jacobs, Jr. Mr. Pat
terson i a faithful ollicer, to both public
and private interests, that be was called to
give attention to, during his administration.
His successor, Mr. Jacobs is a yoang man
of first-rate acquirements, and good habits.
Efficient and obliging Prothonotary Bei-
dler also took his bow of departure, and
as succeeded by the afTible George Bey

ings of the office.
Mr. Parker, during whose management
the financial paper was always at ar, passed
over the documents of the Treasury to his
successor, Mr. John Kirk, who ia a young
merchant in this place.
PucfsoLocT. The prosperity of the
Phrenological Journal would indicate an in
creasing interest in this subject, aud thit
many people have a proper appreciation of
its practical value. In the prospectus of
the Phrenological Journal for 1879 the pub
lishers make liberal propositions to subscri
bers. The price has been reduced to $2.00
(from $3.00), and to each subscriber is of
fered a choice of two premiums. First, a
Phrenological Bust, a model bead, made
nearly iile-size, of plaster of Paris, so let
tered as to show the exact location of all
the Phrenological Organs. It is a hand
some ornament, well adapted for the man
tel-piece, ct titer fable, lilirary, or office.
With (he a'd of this and the key which ac-
coinjiauies it, together wiih the series of
articles published in the Phrenological Jour
nal on Practical Phrenology, each person
may become quite familiar with the location
of the diiTcreul Phrenological Orpans. The

Some weeks ago, a man earned Alcott, a
local preacher at Grahamvillo, thia county,
went down to the viciuity of East Sslem,
and there stole a horse, rode the animal to
Lewistcwn and disposed of the beast to ex-
Sheriff Mulhersbaugh. He stated his name
to be Miller, and represented that at his
borne they were scarce in fetd and that the
stock would have to be sold to keep it from
starving. The stolen horse was owned by a
near relative of a preacher friend of Alcott,
and no action was instituted agaiust the
liner.
Ou the last c'tfh't of the old year, ayoung
horse was stolon fioin the stable of S. W.
Henderson in Fermanagh township. When
Henderson discovered bis loss, on New
Year's morning, he immediately sent tele
grams to dlffert at places. The same day he
received a dispatch from Lewistown, that a
man onercd a horse for sale to ex-Sheriff
Mulhersbaugh, and that the man bad been
put Under arrest. Henderson went to Lcw-
istewn, and identified his horse, and, to his
surprise, found in the thief, ueighborAIcjitp
Muinersnaugii'a experience m the pur
chase from Alcott was not of a charac
ter to give him a favorable impression of
the man, and when he appeared witli a sec
ond horse, he told him to stab'e the animal,
and while that kindlv office to the beast was
being performed, an ollicer waa a nt for,
who came, arrested the thief, and lodged
him in jail to await developments, which
speedily followed. On Thursday Ilender
son and Kiias Horning went to Lewistown
and brought the mare down the Narrows,
while Olfker Wilson brought the thief,
handcuffed, in the cars, tu this place, and
lodged biin in j ail. There are 21 prisoners
in j ail now, and neighbors to the jiil say
they can sing hymns as well as the common
run of people. It has been suggested that
the Sheriff appoint Alcott, the would-be.
preacher of the gospel, chaplain of the
Hock.
