In some instances he has succeeded in getting as high as three dollars for it, but has dis posed of some for dollar each. These rings cost about ninety cents a gross A lawyer in Chicsgo while en gaged in a case in the police couri left his bicycle in the hallway, but for safety tied the following pla card to it: This bicycle is the property of a legal gentleman, who will be back in twentj minutes. He then entered the court room, and, after expounding the statute for half an hour, lost his case and fee. He then returned to the office but his wheel was gone. In its place was another placard, upon which were these words: To the legal gentleman (?): —Your wheel was taken by another genii man who is a "scorcher." He won't be bach at all.

The improvement of local thorough fares should be vigorously agitated until some relief is effected. The present order of most roads in this section are not of the best for cycl ists. CMaot Employ Children. There will be a boom In the de« mand for common labor all over the State between now and September 10th as the result of the enforce ment of the factory law regulating the employment of children under sixteen years of age. Beginning with next month there will be a strict enforcement of the law by Factory Inspector Campbell, and thousands, of boys will be out of work. The law is ft companion of the new corns pulsory school law, and thousands of children under sixteen years who have worked in mills, factories and shops since they were mere babes will have togo to school. The number of children employed in the mills and factories of Penns sylvania is not known, as their iden tity is not easily discovered through a pay roll, but the aggregate will run away up in the thousands. The change will work hardship in some oases, as the children are very help ful to their parents, but the enforce ment of the law leaves no discretion to employers. The weeding out of boya in the iron and steel mills, especially, will provide for the em ployment of many laborers, liiiN *i MM rim Wkito MM Oa tli« RwttMi WMI BrfUMh •I th« taHMIMMMi Bt Wm. Marunrr. [OOXTIMUBO VMM LAW Vlß>] Mentioo has been made in pre vious papers of the inflaenoe brought to bear by the Moraveana upon the Delaware Indians. On following op their history in the Colonial Record we find that after the treaty of 1756 the Quakers took a very active part in petitioning the government tore» dress every known grievance. That at their meetings dellegates were regularly appointed to attend the government oouncils when conferring with the Indians and all aid in their power was willingly given to forward any measure to conciliate them. Owing partly to Teedyusing's over bearing disposition and probably more to the insinuations of the French a number of tribes were still kept from the observance of the con ditions of the treaty, prisoners were uot given up and roving parties of Indians still committed depredations and the lives of all white men were in great jeopardy who attempted to among them. The labors of Rev. Post who was both fearless and dis creet were almost constant in the disaffected country during the two years following the treaty. His many years of labor among them had inspired confidence in him and his appeals in behalf of suffering families who had been robbed of their children where not with effect. In the meantime cheering reports came 'rom Sir. Wm. Johnson of his suc cess in obtaining a large following among the six nations. Prepara tions were accordingly made on a large scale for a gathering at Easton n October 1758. The governors of Pennsylvania and New Jersey were joth present and representatives of ibout twenty chieftons representing nearly as many separate tribes or nations and over four hundred other Indians attended them. They con tinued in session for nearly twenty ;lays and all matters wherein there was a variance between the different tribes as well as with the English was fully brought out. The fort 'iiken by the Susquehanna Indians was a prominent feature connected with the council. Teedyusing was iccused of assuming unauthorized trivilages and that he had made advances with the object of subject ! ng them by the aid of the English o his authority. The colonial governor came to his lefence and in the end ihey all con ceded to the agreements made by aim. The Munsies, our tribe of the Delawares, known as Wolves and sometimes culled Minisinks, were among the last to become reconciled ■he nix nations catne to the help of he English in this work and the governor of New Jersey paid them a thousand dollars for the release of their claims on lands in New Jersey. Teedyusing tried hard to get the assent of the six nations to the agreement the governor of Pennsyl vania had previously made with him that his nation could have perman ently a peaceable possession of the lands assigned to them on the Sus quehanna but was unable to accom plish it. At the time of this treaty a large army under General Forbs was mak ing its way for the captnre of Fort Duquesne, an intense desire was felt that the council would be able to induce the Indians participating to join him in driving out the French. To this, however, they would not assent, they pledged themselves to a strict neutrality and promised to use all their influence In inducing their brethern to stop fighting the English. Happily for the country they kept this engagement in good taith and the French being deprived of their Indian allies, burned the fort the day before the army reached it, Noyember 24th, and made their es cape down the Ohio. From this date the Frenoh war did not, to any great extent, continue a matter of interest on the Susquehanna. Tioga was abandoned as the head quarters of Indian operations. Colonies of Shawanese and Delawares from the Ohio came for permission to settle again on the West branch, and others of the Monseys from the Lake country returned to the North branch, but prisoners were not re leased until 1761, when we find the names of ninety Indians whose home were at Wyal using; among those who were released from their confinement in Philadelphia. After the death of Conrad Weber, Andrew Montour comes more prominently into notice, his services are in demand in treaties as an interpreter and in military capacity at other times. Teedyus ing continues to fill an important part in the Indian councils, the at tempt of the Connecticut company to survey the Wyoming valley, fills him with alarm that he will again be deprived of his home. Tht warriors of the six nations continue to pats and repass through the valley, and be is made Again to feel that he may at any time be deprived of his home. At a treaty beld at Philadelphia in Augnst 1781 after reminding the governor of his oontlnual demands for a deed of the lands at Wyoming, and his failing to oomply, he in forms him that he feels unsafe and l»elieves he shall leave the place. His good offices in restoring peace seems to be forgotten and the Dela wares are again made to know how little confidence they can pnt in their English brethren. The six nations now being united their power was again felt in dictating to other na tions and Teedyusing being in dis favor with him it is supposed that they conspired for the destruction of him and his village. On the 19th of April 1763 his house with twenty of the surrounding dwellings burst al most at the same moment into flames. The inmates had been indnoed to partake freely of whisky and in this state their King and probably many others perished. CONTINUED. Sheriff's Sal*.
