MASSY HARBISON. HTTBBUBOH DESCENDANTS OP THE FA MOUS HEBOINE. It i 9 probable there are but few per sons who kuow anything of the histo ry of Western Pennsylvania who have not read the terrible story of the suf ferings and tortures of Massy Harbi son, but as there may be many who do not and more perhaps who have read her history years ago and since let it slip their memories, it might be well in this connection to give a brief syn opsis of the many horrible tortures to which this heroic woman was sub jected. Her story is briefly this : "Massy Harbison, or more properly speaking, Jane Harbison, was the wife of a spy under General St. Clair, and she with her husband—when he was at home—occupied a house which was situated near what is now known as McKain station, about twentv-six miles up the Allegheny V alley Rail road. Early in the morning of May 22, 1T92, while her husband was absent the house was entered by a large party of Seneca Indians, and Massy Har bison, who was still in bed with her infant child, was compelled to go with them. Two other children some what older than the first were also pulled out of bed. The painted mon- Bters then ransacked the house, and, after taking all the plunder they wanted, they destroyed everything else, and then took up their march, after killing one man in the blockhouse, near by, and wounding another. One of her children, a boy of about three years of age, began to cry through fright, when one of the merciless, blood-thirsty demons took him by the heels and dashed his brains out against the door sill; after which the scalp 'of the helpless innocent was torn from his battered head with as much exultation as if the victim of the mur derous wretches had been a powerful warrior slain in battle. Then the unfortunate woman, with her babe in her arms and her other remaining child, was forced to go with her captors. After marching for a while they fHtmw to the mouth of the Kiskimine tas river, and while descending the hank the horse on which one of the savages was riding, with the oldest surviving child, fell and rolled over the bank. The little one was somewhat injured and began to cry, whereupon one of the red fiends became exasperat ed and clove the head of the little one with his tomahawk, after which he scalped him. But to give a descrip tion of all the horrors which the heroic woman was compelled to endure would take up too much space, and would be an unnecessary repetition of facts which may be within the memory of the reader. It is therefore only ne cessary to state that she escaped on the second day of her captivity, and after being unsuccessfully pursued and narrowly escaping capture, she dis covered herself to white frontiersmen on the sixth day after her capture and was taken back to her friends. She had wandered down to a spot near where Sandy creek is now located, part of the way carrying her infant in the folds of one of her garments which she held between her teeth. Her feet and hands were literally filled with thorns, and she was so fearfully emaciated as to be unrecognizable. The above is the story in brief of the terrible adventures of Massy Harbi son, and although many are familiar with it, there are but few of the num ber that have the least idea that there are lineal descendants of Massy Har bison living in Pittsburgh at the pres ent time; yet such is the case. One of her grandchildren is Mr. Mills Shoup, who resides in Forty-fourth street, Pittsburgh; another is a lady named Mrs. Anderson, and there are still others living in and around the city, one of them living at Freeport, where Massy Harbison was buried in the old graveyard situated on Market street, in that town. But her grave, like that of many others whose liveß have formed part of the history of the State and Nation, bears not the slighest tribute to her fame from the public. There were also, at last accounts, two sons Btill living; one named Ben jamin, who is now in bis eighties, and said to be a remarkably well preserved man, and another named John. The last named is the one, who as an in fant, she carried with her through all her peril; and in connection with him there is a story which is but seldom seen excepting in the pages of a novel. When he grew to manhood, he was so impressed with the fiendish cruel ties practiced upon his mother and two brothers that be made vow to work out a terrible retribution by killing every painted savage that came in his Way, and he has devoted his whole life' to vengeance since. To attain this object he has followed the Indians as fast as they were driven toward the setting sun, his only desire being to kill. When last heard from he was on the extreme borders of Kansas still re lentlessly carrying out his relentless work of destruction, and if he Btill ex ists is between eighty and ninety years of age. To be sure it is probable that long ere this his vengeful hand has been stayed by old age or death, but those who knew of him say that he was so firm in his resolve that With his last effort he would deal out death to the remnants of the race that tortured his mother and mur dered his brothers.

If it is taken in time it is as easily cured as a wart or a corn. We know very well that it is a fearful disease and will eat away until it destroys life, that is if it is neglected, but if it is attended to when it first makes its appearance, or soon after, there is no trouble in eradicating it from the system. Persons will have to be here during part of the treatment, consequently there is no use writing to me for information whether it can be cured without my seeing the case. I also treat with success, Rupture, Piles, Fistula, Ulcers, Ulcerated legs, Varicose Veins, Varicocele Tumors, Hydrocele, and every form of Skin Disease.
