It is manifestly true, as Col. Wat terson says, that the Democratic party needs new leaders; and it is also bodfy in want of men to do the following. Base ball this Friday. Some say the game will be a repetition of the one partly plaj'cd last Saturday. Others say the married men will hang it onto the boys. People who think newspapers are printed for fun and ought to chant their praises without thanks or ap preciation, are promising candidates for an insane asylum.

R, V. Rogers of Forksville, has been admitted to the practice of law at the Lycoming county bar. Mr. Rogers read Blackstone with Atty.

That depends on the one, Mary E. Lease can't. The Governor recently signed a bill which makes it unnecessary here after to have the approval of a grand jury to incorporate boroughs. The business is now placed wholly in the hands of the judges. A majority of onr Sonestown friends will take kindly to this new law. Hon.

An eloping couple who took train 83 yesterday morning for that tree and easy state where marriage licenses are not required, came to grief before the nuptial knot could be tied. The lady in the case was Oora Thrasher from Evergreen, and the man was Oren Bennett of Mon roeton. He had been married before and his wife is now living at Mon roeton—and is said to have obtained a divorce. The father of the young lady, who doe* not take kindly to the one who proposed to play the part of son-in law, got onto the plans of the couplo and followed them. All three went to Waverly on the same train, and the father brought the girl back on train 4, and back to her home on the Bernice branch train last evening. Bennett remained faithful, but gave up when father and daughter were on the train for New Albany. The young lady appeared to be very much aggrieved at the turn of affairs, and wept bitterly. Mr. Thrasher said his daughter wan but seventeen yeais old.—Towanda Re view.

[CONTINUED FBOM LAST WKKK.] When the French traders first visited the Susquehanna, the Abori gines were known as the Andastts, this tribe ia identical with those first known and mentioned by the English aa Suaquebannocka. Their villagea extended along the river from Tioga to Virginia, and mention is made or them in our last paper as disappearing as early as 1675. From this time the Iroqui nation, although not occupyiug the Susquehanna country held it in subjection and ex acted tribute from the tribes they permitted to occupy it. This nation had a strong; and well organized government with its headquarters at Onandagua, It consisted of a league of five tribes the representatives of whom formed the Grind Council, which determined all great national questions and appointed chieftons to hold in subjection the provences they bad acquired. The Grand Council consisted of 50 Sachams proportioned as follows: Mohawks, 9; Ouidas, 9; Onond&gas, 14; Cay ugits, 10; Scnecas, 8. In 1712 another nation known as the Tucaroras was udded to the confederation but had no voice in the Grand Council after which the confederacy was known as the Six Nations. The above will correct an error made in the last [taper as to the Iroquois forming a confederacy with 5 other nations. The name being applied to the united nations. The Indians that were found near the borders of our county with pathway passing through it on the arrival of the Moravean missionaries were of the Delaware Nation, they were first knowp as the occupants of the country ou the head waters of Delaware aud extending through New Jersey and Eastern PennsyK i vauia. They consisted of three iribes, known to the English as the Turtles, on the south; Tunkies, in centre, and Wolves on the north. The latter tribe being identical with those known Misis aud generally called by tiie English, Monseys. These people had their villages at different points along the West Branch and also settled to a con siderable extent along the North Branch. In addition to the Deluwares the Iroquois allowed ether tribes to occupy assigned sections of country on the Susquehanna among whom were Nanticokes and Shawauese. In 1744 or '45 Rev. David Zeis* berger, a very distinguished Mora vean missionary, came to reside in Pennsylvania. He had previously tilled an important place as mission* ary to the Creek Indians in Georgia, being a man of superior educational advantages he took up the study of Indian languages and prepared books both in German and English that greatly assisted others to suc cessfully carry on the Indian mis sion work. He was first mentioned in this vicinity as journeying up the North Branch in company with Conrad Wieser, Andrew Montour and a Cayuga Sachene who held the position as the Iroquois viceroy at Shamokin, they in company with others were on their way to Ononda gua, to intercede with the head government to adopt peaceful meas ures with the Catawabes and Shaw ancse and to obtain permission for the settlement of christian Indians at Wyoming. They passed Wyalus ing on the 11th of June, 1745. From this date until the removal of the christian Indians in 1772 Zeisburgcr was constantly laboring for the good of the Indians on the North and West Branches. The Moraven brethern with their headquarters at Bethlehem had established mission stations al different points along the Susquehanna, A Colony of christian Indians who from persecution bad been com pelled to abandon their homes in Eastern New York, were found a place,to settle by the brethren, at a point above the water gap of the Lehigh 18 mile3 above Bethlehem and 40 miles south-east of Wyoming formed here a flourishing settlement known as "Iluts of Mercy," near this place was Fort Allen on, the south west was established, at now, Sun bury, Fort Augusta. These in con nection with Wyoming became places where Zeisberger and his co-laborers successfully accomplished their christianizing work. By teaching the Indiana improved modes of agrioulture their lands were made to produce bountifully and their wants were otherwise easily supplied by an honest exchange of the skins of animals taken in their hunting ex peditions. From the published reports of this period we And that in 1747 the remnant of a tribe driven from Flor ida by the Spaniards, known as 263101 | Tutcioes, had stilled ut a town cull— led Skogari in what is now Columbia county. In 1748 occured the famine and prevailanoe of sniall-pox on the West Branch, the village of Oston waken at the mouth of the Loyalsook creek became that year depopulated. Zeisberger while at Fort Augusta learning of their destruction, went in company with Mack, also a mis> sionary to visit them, extending their journey as far up the river us Great Island, near Lock Haven, arriving at that point on the 12th ot July. The suffering of the people were terrible and doubtless from what is known of these missionaries every thing was done, on their re turn, that could be to send to them relief. CONTINUED. A New Secret Order. A new secret order is to be estab lished to cover the United States and to be known as the American league. Hamilton, Ohio, will be headquarters and the chief of the order, who will be a Hamilton man, will be known as the supreme com mander. The heads of the order in the different States will be known as grand commanders. The league will be an intensely patriotic order, em bracing the objects of all the various patriotic orders. Fifty citizens of that city have been forming the charter list of the first lodge of the new order. The ritual has already been compiled and a constitution is about to be adopted.
