SKETCHOP BRADFORD couxrrs About nine miles from Towanda, on the Barclay railroad, is 'Weirton Station, which stands at the foot, of a bold mountain promontory . that abruptly terminates here. Turning to the right, the railway lies along the bank- of the Schnieder Creek; and to the left,. in the direction of the left arm of a Capital Y, is the Millstone Creek. A few rods above Weston Station and on the latter stream is Northrup Hollow. This wild, romantic vally is hemmed in by the heavily 'wooded bill, of the Millstone range, a spur of the Alleghenies. CURB DISEASES OE THE STOMA IHHIETS, BLOOD. It was my good fortune to 'spend a few days in this "Happy Vallety" - when the Autumn frosts had painted the hill sides with gorgeous hues; while the dreamy light of the lovely Indi an Sum mer fattened tee otherwise too glaring colors of:"the •woods' magnificent ar ray." The Bathe of Northrup Hollow was given to this secluded epot because the NorthrupEi were the first permanent settlers. The father of the present family of that name was John Northrup, who was born in eastern New Jersey. The mother was of Holland extraction and was born at the 'foot of the Catskills, N. Y. They • emigrated to Wyoming Valley in 1779, the year after the mas sacre. Owing to the unsettled' condi= tion of the'land titles, they soon remov to Bradford County and settled in Monroe township, then part of Towan da. In 1816 the family moved to Nor thrup Hollow, their present location. John Northrup bought a large tract, of land of Amok Vincent Matthews, who had built a hotel there in 1808. The sign was painted' in 1812 and was dec orated with the Masonic emblems. , As through this valley lay the main trail of raftamen returning from their trips down the Susquehanna river, this hotel never lacked 'for patrons in those prim itive dap before stage routes or rail roads had shortened the distance.- Northrip Hollow is 44 miles from Money and 60 miles from Williamsport. The road across country was laid out in 1802, and follikved the trail that had been used, for no one knows how many years, by, the Monsey Indians. B. B. thLugai D. C. Wissaii The i Northrups were, attracted to this location by the fact that the sur rounding mountains abounded in rocks of the pecanar quartzose conglomerate used for millstones. The woods were full of wild animals, such as Aeer, elk, wolves, bears, panthers • and wild-cute. All this favored region was once the bunting grounds of the Money Indi ans. They had a path across the M 0111 34 tains from the West Branch, 30 miles above Williamsport, 'that was marked by trees, blazed with a hatchet, more 'than a , century ago. Tradition says that two parties of Indians, belonging to the same tribe, separated at Williani sport, one to follow the main, river in its wide detour to the eastward the other to proceed up . the West' Branch for twenty-five or thirty miles and then across the'mountains: to Wysanking, 'lhe place of grapes." Of the latter party, fourteen died of small-pox just before reaching their destination. Only one lived to carry the bad tidings to the other:band, who had: already reached Wysox. The survivor said ' that when his companions were .firit, attacked by the pestilence, they bailed their plun der near Lamoka , now the name of a station on the Barclay railroad, above Weston. Search was made and many articles found that would now be of great value to the antiquary or ;enc hanter. When the surveys were made for the railroad in 1844 a bell was found weighing eight pounds. It was used by, the Indians to call the members of tbe tribe together when therwished• to assemble around their council fires. 'Clay pots, crucibles for smelting ores, clam shells for making lime etc, have been found in that locality; indicating that the sboriginea were not altogether ignorant'of many of the arts of civiliza tion. - Wassza 13xrrn P.

Durpig my stay in NorthrUp Hollow it wasrmy ,good fortune to meet with three prominent representatives of the Northrup family, who have - a wide al.p utation in Northern Pt nnaplvania as being ,"mighty hunters." The eldest, Mr. Henry Northrup,' was born in Monroe in June, 1800. Though in. the 82nd year of his age, he had just finishedAigaing and walling up a;rorell on hie own premises. He is abotit me diumi ;size, and his abundant brown hair.iseareely tinged with gray, makes him look like a man. of 60. Grosat N. Damn. Nathan Northrui was born Jannmry 23, 1803. His large well•knit frame is still vigorous. The strong under' jaw denotes the cool courage that has made him so successful as a sportsman. His kindly gray eyes are. still keen. and the old gentleman can tyet "diraw a bead" on a deer, or carve out a mill stone, better- than many a ;banger man.' • JAs. A. llama j Thomas Cantos Butiktll. Pike Co.. Ps Ilmax Yuman= THE XORTHRUPS. igleZeßTr . MMMIIRS." BY IBS. M. L. =DM. INDIAN DFIJCS. William Northrop;' oonsin to . Henry 'nd Nathan, was born in Monroe, December, 14, 1809. In spite of his more than "three MOM and ten" he is as erect and agile as an Indian. With his handsome gray' hair, well-cut fea tures and bright, dark eyes, he is a Sue specimen of well-Preserved manhood. The vigorous . age enjoyed by these three men may be owing to the fact that they have led the active lives of pion eers and hunters. They are all tem perat4 in their habits; use no tobarieo, - and have nerves of steel, sinews of iron and hearts of , oak. AlthOugh there were no schools near at hand ' when they were young, and their educatiohal advantages necessarily limited, yet their language. is remarkably fluent and correct. The love of nature has .a refining influence; for from these three men. in all all their hunting stories, I heard, not one slang phrase or' coarse szpressrion. They have the genuine unaffected .courtesy of manner which indicates true kindness of heart, and which is better flunk all the superficial polish that can be acquired by a ,s!l -fiah nature. • 301121?Dti OP MINTING. It may = be, interesting to note that these veteran Nimrods, Nathan and Wil liam Northrup.' never practised the cruel method of hunting deer with dogs, as so many modern sportsmen do, in spite, of the strict laws to the contrary. They followed only stfil-hunting, al they shot elk, deer, bears, etc., for food and not for mere . wanton sport. The flesh of anyianunal that has been iiriven a long distance and worried by, logs; is not as good as that which is and and divined at once. Their method' was-to nild a bough house, nears "deer-110V' andl when the animal came to take its tions of salt, of which it is pamionate y fond, they could be shot from the a bnab. There are several salt springs em ng the moun tains in that vicinity. en natu/s1 "licks" are not found, th saltls plsoed on a log to which deer a d other wild animals would resort froM ong distance,. Porcupines are, unfortuna ely,very food of salt. They will eat it the the logs and spoil the artificial " icke" .as often as they find.'them. Then the hedgehog' kills many valuable dogs, as their sharp, barbed quills cannot be:p lied from the flesh pat must be cut 0 t. 'When the quills'get into the eyes $ d nose of any animal attacking it, des is pretty sure to be the result of med ling with the "fretful porcupine."

THE BIG PANTE= I n One day in the fall o 1818, Nathan saw a large panther ch two deer into a field on the hill-side, a ova the honse. At first he - supposed the to be three deer, and he returned to the -- house for his gun. : As be neared! the field, the two deer jumped over L a fence, cloiely pursued by an enormous panther. A few days afterward this savage beast was killed lby Nathen's father, t believe. • It was found to measure eleven ancl one hay feel from tip to tip. Beveral years afteiward. as William was watching a “deerliek" from a plat. form in a convenient tree, some beast of prey drove away game several times during the night. Before daylight the animal disappeared. ' The next night Nathan. and William both watched the same spot. As the dawn approached, they could see some *animal creeping along the loge, about thirty rods away. William shot and killed it. , Upon exam ination it proved to be some animal, the like of which `they had never seen be fore. It was a tawby. red - in color, short er in the body than a panther 'and with longer lega. They concluded it must have been the puma, or American lion, which is seldom found east of . the Mississippi river: - Game was so plentiful in those days that the Northrup, were never out of venison or bear meat' in due season. With generous hospitality their boun tiful fare _was always shared with neigh bor-or friend. Many gentlemen came from Philadelphia to the wilds of west ern 'Bradford, Sullivan and Wyoming counties, for the sake of the rare sport to be found there. All of them carried away the memory l of , such delicious meats, with the true gamey flavor, as no city - hoVne or - betel 60014 boast._ Unfortunately the N ithrups never kept any record of the is l'e they killed, for they thought no mar of shooting a deer or'bear • than an ordkbar y sportsman 1 does of killing a squiii E. During the 65 years in which the have, roamed these forests , Nathin sit William must have shot nearly or qui ' two thousand deer. The former rem: tubers that one fan be killed nine elk, ' even bears and twenty five deer. i'4 - A WONDERFIII , i SHOT. One of William's meat notable feats was killing , three deer aid wounding a fourth at one abet* Tbei wounded deer was followed and seoziell and another one shot, thus making live deer killed by two discharges of i 6 gun. i Almost incredible as it may's4m. William was lucky enough several times, to kill two deer at telnce. Nat tisn has often shot as many -as six, deer )n i a day, but never mere than One at a time. TILEULLING, ADONTCRES, Some of 'Abe adventdres , which these Nimrbds can 'relate sa3or of the ludi crous. One August sifternoon, many years ago.Williain was watching a "deer. lick," when he asw a big buck advanc ing for his rations of 41t. He fired at it; and as it fell to the ground, he sup posed it dead. He went ta out its throat when the buck, galvanized into life, sprang fro his feet. The mighty antlers caught ;in the bottom of ,`the hunter's tough doe-skin pants. Grasping. ; the horns of the buck with one hand, Wil liam was treated to rapid ride of fifty or sixty yards, fir of charge. The frightened -..animal finally dislodged his unwelcome rider and'escaped. The next day'_ the btick ' was , found dead; and strange to relate, a piece of his :iverhad been shot out, yet hel had live& to run a mile or two after receiving the fatal , wound. i The flesh T sfound. to Ixt spoiled from its having bled inwardly and from the hest of the weather. To show that wound of the vital or. gans of a deer is not neeipasarily fatal, Nathan told about shooting a buck through the outer wall of the heart and both lobes of the longs, yet the deer ran from 8 a. nu till 7p. m., and swam a 1-pond fifty yards wide, before it succumbed to its wounds,. At another time Nathan shot a , deer through the spine and it litesallyi. 'died in its tracks," for its limbs wereso intently paialyzed that he found it abiding precisely as he shot it, The deer, though naturally afraid of min, when drivtin to desperation will tarn on its pursuers and fight in self- . defense with a ferocity that one would scarcely believe could exist in its timid nature. Woe betide the huntstnan or Bound that 'comes 'within-reach - of its sharp borns'ol het*: *IR, it stands it IM bay. Once upon a time, Nathan and William wore both treed. by an• unfurl ated brick. They soon eettliid 'the difli• may by each pouring a charge into the body of the enraged animal, ENCOUNTERS WITS CATAIROI7NTS. It seem wonderful that theici veteran sportsmen, have followed many scores of savage beasts through the unbroken forests—have encountered bears, inn ! there and catamounts; yet, in spite of • many thrilling adventures, have never met with a serious accident. William relates an incident which made a vivid impressaion on his mind, as-it was the` only time he was ever really frightened. He had dFiven into the woods with an ox-sled, in order to draw out some shingles, when; he found a large cata mount fast in a trap. Not having any fire-arms with him, he undertook to despatch the savage brute with his heavy or -whip. Thee infuriated- creature spritig at ita•assailant; and with the heavy trap fast to one-of its hind legs, einceeededin inflicting some unpleasant scratches on William's face. The latter' seized a sled 'stake and dealt several lusty blows_ before he could despatch the furious beast. There are several varieties of Wild cats, and the largest and flereeat of the species are formidable an tagonists in a hand-to hand conflict; for they fight with the ferocity of a tiger; and, with a diabolical cunning, aim at the face of an enemy. • Henry Northrup relates an encounter With a catamoint that was semi-ludicrons to look back upon, bat a serious enough matter at the time. . Coming home from Muncy on foot, he sew wheie something had been killing sheep. His, two dogs soon treed an enormous catamount. When Henry approached, having no other weapon, he threw a atone at the wild cst. With' a screaml , of rage, the savage brutelsprang furl his face. Hen ry met his assault with a kick in the open month that took it by surprise ap parently. The struggle that'ensued was a lohg and terrible one.: It finally., end- . ed with the death of the, catamount,. which showed fight till the last. One day in the fall of the year, Henry went up on the "coal . bed mountain," where Barclay now stands. in search of game. He was accompained by his wife and Win; who went to gather• nuts. Bears are very fond of "mast" 'and the dogii soon had driven four of them up , one tree. Henry shot and wounded one, which scrambled doWn and ran away. He killed two of them, however, and wounded the fourth.' Next day he went alone and killed two more bears; thus providing several hundred pbunds of Oelicions bear meat for his winter store, in the two afternoons. On another occasion, John Northrup, accompanied Lillis sons Henry -an 11 Nathan, went up the creek in search of the proper material for a millstone. They found a bear under 'the rocks and - killed it with 'their only weapon, a grub - ; hoe. __. 'these veteran lain, watched in the lovely riled by the • they, which trill cry n! a In 1856, William Northrup was the hero of an exploit that for pool 'courage was quite a match for Patman's famous feat of entering the wolf's den, .which has been so often celebrated in song and story. William and Nathan followed an enormous bear for a long distance until it finally took refuge in its den, thirty feet under. the rocks. They could barely see the fiery eyeballs of the savage creature and aimed at the glist ening object. The great brute 'growled like a as these daring Nimrod,s expressed it. When these angry. howls had subdued, William crawled in, rifle in hand, hitched a chain to the now dead animal. and drew it out. They found that he bad been killed by a ball entering the brain through the eye-ball. Thera were two or three doughty sportsmen with William at the time, and though one of them was' a \mach smaller man, they Were all ton, large to crawl into that cave, where lay a fere mime brute that they - expected was only maddened by its wounds. It seems that this was not the first tiine that William had performed similar feats of daring, and so it naturally .devolved on-him this time. The bear weighed 400 pounds, and its flesh was equal to the juiciest and tenderest of pig pork. These are only a few of the hunting stories to which 1 was a delighted list, ener. As these hunters are repieseiita tives of a class and period that will soon pass.away, I can only regret that their many exploits have not .a more enduring record than can - bo made hi a mere newspaper article. 1 ' - A depositor drOpped in, at the office of the cashier one morning to get a note discounted.

THE DITCH OF THE SEVEN DEAD.,• - . For many centuries • the lagoons of Venice have been divided into districts for the - purpose of fishing. These tracts of water are not distinguished by any bdundaries visible to the eye; but their , limits are well known to , the fishermen who wake their living upon them. In the slowet parts of these -districts, where lore ooz y , bed of the lagoon is left bare b.t each 'receding tide,, the fisher men have marked oft la certain portion. This they surround by a palisade of Wattled cane. Inside the palisade the mud is dug into diOp ditches, so that there shall alw i ikys be water in them, - and even when the tide is low. These places are called "valli," and here the fish spawn. Each of , these "valli" has a little hut belonging to it, built either on pilei or on forced • soil, and made of wattled cane, plastered with mud, or of bricks. Of the Vale del Sette Morei there is a story - eurrent amung thcgondoliers and fishermen. There were six men fishing once in this Vane 'of the Seven Dead. They had with them shine boy, the.son of one of their band. The boy did not go fishing with his father, but stayed behind to take care of the hut and to cook the meals for the men when they returned. He spent his nights alone in the cabin, for most of the fishing was done between sunset and sunrise. One du as the dewn was beginning across the water' the men stopped their fishing and began to. row home wit h their lead as usual. As they rowed along they met We body of a drowned man going out to sea with , the tide . They picked the body up and laid 'it on the prow, the head resting upon the arm, and rowed on'slowly toward-the hut. The little boy was watching for them, and went down to the edge of the canal to meet them. He saw the body of the seventh man lying on the prow, but thought he was asleep. So when the boat came near he cried to his father, 'Breakfast is ready; come along!' and with that he turned and went back to the hut.. The men followed the boy, and left - the dead man on the prow. When they had sat down the boy looked around and said: 'Where is the other man? Why don't you bring him in to breakfast, too ?"Ohl in not he here?' cried one, and then added, with a laugh, 'You had better go and call him; he must be asleep.' The boy went down to the canal and shouted: 'Why don't you come to breakfast?; It is all ready for pin.' , But the 'inn!) the prow never moved nor 'answered a word. So the boy -returned to the hut tukd said: `What is the matter with the man ?' He won't answer.'- 'Oh!' said they, 'he is a deaf old fool. Yon must shout loud and swear at him.'t. The boy went back again and cried, 'Dime along, you fool; the others are waiting for yon.' Bat the man on the prow never moved nor an swered a word. Then the boy ran back to the but andsaid: 'Come,, one of you, forl can not wake him up.' But they laughed, and answered: 'Go ont again and shake hini_by the leg; tell him we cannot wait till doomsday foi him.' 'The boy went down to the water once . more, He got into the boat and shook the man by the leg. Then the man turned and sat up on . the prow, and said to the boy s 'What do you want?' 'Why on earth don't you come? Are they all } to wait till doomsday for you?"Go back and tell them I am Coming.' Bo the boy went back to the hut and found `tho men laughing and , joking. 'Well, 'what did he my?' they cried. 'lt is all right,' answered the boy; 'he says be is coming.' The men turned pale and looked at one another, and sat very still and laughed no more. Then outside they heard footsteps coming slowly up the path. The door was pushed open, and the dead man came in and sat down in the boy's place, the seventh at the table. But each sat with his eyes fixed upon the seventh, - their guest. They could not move or speak. Their gaze was fastened on the deed man's face. The blood flowed chiller 4d chiller in their veins till, as thelun rose and flashed along the lagoon; there were seven dead men sitting round the table in the room. Bush - was the story told to ns one night rowing home from the Chioggia. It has evidently taken a 'deep root in the imagsnation of the people. Nor can we wonder at this, nor at the wiernees 'of the tale when we remember the soli tarTlives these fishermen lead,-the Riess space around them, vast enough to fiing_the spirit back upon itself aid set it creating.. The only matter for aston ishment is that there are not more each stories. In the North, out of similar surroundings, we should • .have a whole group of legends, wild, fsntastic or ter rible as the tales which live among the fishers of the Hebrides or the wreckers and smugglers of the Devon and Cor nish coast But a great story is rare in Venice; and this would be difficult to match even among the Italian novelists and romancers. Possibly the external' surroundings, the aspect of nature, may have something to do with this. The terrible is wanting in: Italian,landscape, and finds only rareexpression art. The seenery.of the lagoons is ample, soft and caressing, but terrible or strange or vague, it is not. These are the essen tial elements of the supernatural, and therefore it is that a genuine Italian ghost story is a rarity. —&. James Gazette. Farm and Workshop Notes.
