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,

[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.
