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.

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

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

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

William wore both treed. by an• unfurl

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 - ;

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

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.

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
