Tbe Year Middleburg Was Laid Oui.
Considerable diHeiission has arisen
sinee the talk of liavinga centennial,
as to exactly what year the town
was laid out. Mr. Samuel Witten
myer, the oldest citizen of the town,
says on this point that his father,
Michael Witteninyer, erected a build
ing on the store corner in 1801 and
that the town must have been laid
out for several years before that
time, at least (back as far as 1800,
sti that the town is not less than
100 years old. It is unfortunate that
the town plot liears no date. Old
Michael Wittenniyer was a cloek
maker and in 1801 bought the lot
where Milton Moatz lives from John
Swineford, the owner of the town,
for a '24-hour elock. Mr. Witten
inyer had the cellar almostdiig when
Mr. Swineford came to the site of
the building and told Mr. Witten
inyer that he ought to have the lot
out at the corner and then it would
... ii
pay
mm to nut up a ooii nouse.
Mr. Witteninver replied that li
diil
not have the money to buy such an
expensive lot, whereupon Mr.Swine- j

lot ami would sell witteninver ine
corner lot it the latter would make
him an eight-day clock) The offer
was accepted. The erection of the
building commenced at once. This
was in 1801. At that time there
wereonlv three or four buildings in
this neighborhood. John Swineford
resided and kept a hotel on the lot
where .loin. Mover now resides,
This was the first hotel in this see-
t it hi am
that bean t Certain I
guests as early as 1 7S". 'I here was
a house in 1801 out where Mr.
tTcnsterbush now resides, the old
Witteninver homestead. There was
a house on the corner, now the bank
lot, owned by Mr. Benheimer, who
kept a store, and another liack of
town on the road leading toward
New Berlin. There may have lieen
other houses in this vicinity, but that
is all tradition accounts for.
In 1802 the assessment list show
ed the following residents for Mid
dleburg : John Aurand, joiner; John
Kpler, David Fry shoemaker; Ja
cob Fry, senior; Kennel Mark, Ja
cob Lechner, inn-keeper; David
Liest, Isaac Mcrtz, Zacharias Mus

Few questions asked by the Cen
sus Office are ot more imjiortance
than those regarding the place of
l)irtli oi the indivitlual and his pa
rents. There Is no great country
which has received so many immi
grants as the Uuited States. It is
doubtful whether more than 200,
000 Americans by birth are living
outside of the United States, while
the number ol persons of foreign
birth living in the United States is
probably ten million.
In the coming census the enumer
ators will endeavor to ascertain where
each person, and the parents of each
person, were born ; and, it the per
son was not born i" the United
States, in what year he came to this
nminrrv. the niiinlier of vcars he lias

u.n liom. whether lie lias been na-
'
turalized or not, and if not, whether
he has taken out naturalization pa
pers. The tallies made from the ans
wers to inquiries respecting birth
place show the number and distribu
tion of the foreign-born residents of
the United States, the number of
intermarried between these foreign
ers and the natives, the proportion of
the foreiirners who settle in the cities
and those who seek the country,

figures. Few crimes are committed

i age, ami yasf numbers ol the natives
'are under.! that age and therefore
cannot commit crime. When com-

er among the natives than among
the foreign-born population.
Another point brought out clear
ly by the census figures is that im
migrants move but a comparatively
short distance. The Canadian im
migrants live mainly along the Ca
nadian frontier, and the Mexicans
mainly ulong the southern boundary.
Thus in 1890 the Canadians were
in a plurality among the loreign
born in Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Michigan, Montana and
Washington. The Mexicans, on the
contrary, were in a plurality in
New Mexico and Arizona. The
( J en nans, however, have spread all
over the United States, and were in
a plurality among the foreign born
in twenty-six States and Territories.
To the several foreign-born ele
ments ol our population it is a mat-
ter of pride and interest to know

their general economic condition, in
1 Si 10 there were more than 9,000,-1
OHO residents in the United States!
who were born in other countries.
Of this number about 30 per cent
were Ixirn in Germany, 20 per cut. j
in Ireland, and about 10 per cent.
; Canada and Newfoundland. From
igQI to 1830 the Cnited Kiuedom
contributed 53 per cent, ot the total
immigrants to the United States,
and Germany 35 ner -ent. In the!
decade 1881 to 1890 the immigrantal
from the I'liitinl Kingdom coosti-1
tuted only 28 per cent, of the total
immigration, the proportion from
Germany being slightly less. In
the ten years 1 S1 to 1870 the com-
, . i i i i
ronea immigration im...
Iluugarv, Russia, Poland, and Italy
constituted only 1 per cent of the!
total immigration. In the decade;
1S81 to 181)0 this proportion rose (
to 17 per cent., and in thenine years j
1891-99 to more than 64 percent.
We, of the United States, are all j
immigrants or the descendenta of
immigrants. A proper pride on the
part of recent immigrants in the
land of their birth, and a reasonable
desire to secure that recognition
I which is due to their numbers and
