The following we gloan from the
South I'kmmI, Indiana, Ihilhj Tun,
i OctolnT 7th :
The connection of the two young
Jfidilleswarths, Charles ami William,
fith the contest of the A. J"1. Kern
fill, call to tnitul the pnuninenee of
the name with the early politics of
Pennsylvania. Xer Midillcswurlh,
brail of the. MitldleMvarlli family,
s for 15 1 years in sneee-sion .p.
iM-nihcr of the Pennsylvania Leis
latnrc ; iliirin; much of lliis time
:ie was sjteaker of the House. lie
ms of heavy lniiltl, of nverajre
height, a;ul very ileliini'ate in
peei'li. After having sir veil ovi'
iiiiarter of a century in t!ie (lener
J Assembly h" was elected a nii'iii
,Vt ol (opgrcss. His l)hi;:t man
ners made him quite conspicuous
inning his fellow repre.-entatives,
and lie was much sought after at
mcial ipithcrings. Sime verv amus
ing stories are related of his capers
it dinners given in his honor. Dur
ing the latter part of the Forties he
was nominated for Canal Commis
sioner by the Whigs and defeated.
There was ut one time a very im
portant ofiice, eagerly sought after
by men of a practical turn of mind.
The last office filled by Xer Mid
illeswarth was that of Associate
Jiuljre of Sn viler eountv. He had
t very, narrow escape, LU majority
being only 1 4, though the county
as then, as now, largly Republi
iau. Originally he was a Jackson
Democrat, but during the Thirties
he joined the anti-Masonic, niove
ment and after its subsidence he
drifted into the Whig party. At the
death of the Whig parly he became
alicpiiblican, remaining with that
party to the end of his eventful ca
reer. Iid(llcswarth was of Hol
land extraction, lie was a typical
''IViinsylvania Dutchman."
The fiunily of Xer Middleswarth
v.as an exceptionally large one. If
'e ivmcinlier correctly there were
1! eliililren, mostly sons. Several
f them were elected to county of
Iws, one of them being sheriff' lor
several terms.
The Middleswartlis 'and Kerns
were easily the leading families of
Beaver township, Winder eountv.
They were fast friends and inter
marriage was a natural consequence.
It was largely throught the instru
mentality of Xer Middleswarth that
ninm furnace was established two
miles west of Middleburtrh, the
winty seat of the newly created
toydcr county. There was then no
railroad in the county, and the pro
duct of this lurnace (called the "JJea-
Vl'r") had to Ik; hauled by wagons a
distance of 10 or 15 miles. Largely
llU this account the undertaking did
'ot prove a financial success, but
hile it was in operation it added
Pally to the business activity of
tat part of the Old Keystone State.
The ore was obtained from Shade
fountain, in close proximity 'to the
'Wit furnace.
A number of the youngeiw Mid
dlwwnrtlis moved west after the
some of them to Michigan,
""' t, Illinois and Iowa, and one
' two to Indiana. A reunion of
Middleswartlis and Kern famil
would le a inostinterestingevent.

Postal Banks In Australia.
In several of the Australian col
onies both general savings hauks
and postal Kivings banks exist, both
being under control of the govera
meut, says the Chicago Jlecord.
This is true of Victoria, Xow South
Wall's and Tasmania. Post office
lauks alone exist in Queensland
and Western Australia, and general
savings banks alone in Snith Au
stralia. In Canada government
savings banks antedate the postal
savings kink, but are giving way
to the latter as the more convenient
and suitable institution. In some
countries having the general savings
bank as distinguished from the pos
tal savings bank use is made of the
ostofIices as places ot dojosit for
transmission to the general liank.
As between the general savings
banks under government control
and the postal savings bank there is
no question that the latter is the
one for adoption in the ITniUsl
States. The postoliice has in oper
ation machinery that could be uti
lized for tlie protection of small sav
ing deposits with comparatively
little additional trouble and c.-
