Frederick of Millersburg for Water "Works. The meeting was adjourned Monday night to Friday night, when the proyosition will be disjKwed of. ' r Editor Leshcr of the Selinsgrovc Tirnta may talk from bis own experience in Selinsgrove. In Middleburg we discovered that the shoe factory did the towu more goal in 13 months than a peevish jwstinaster has in 40 years. The town Council has imposed upon it the important duty of providing Water Works. Let public necessity spur them on to provide this plant. Get it on as favorable terms as possible, but get it. What would have happened to our town last Thursday night if fire had broken out. The entire town would be in ashes. A small portion of our insurance money will pay our water tax. It is estimated by insurance men that water works will reduce insurance rates ten per cent, on three-year insurance and twenty per cent, on one year insurance. The discount on insurance will pay the water tax. Monument to Hon. Ncr Middleswarth. While the state is appropriating money to erect monuments in honor of men who attained only local prominence, we are reminded of the fact that the State should appropriate money for a monument to the memory of Hon. Ner Mid dlcsworth, a gentleman who attained not only local prominence, but who was known far and wide in this commonwealth in his day and generation. In this connection, we might eive a brief biography of this distinguished gentleman. It was in the year 1 702 that las parents, came from New Jersey to make their home on frontier line which is now in Beaver township, Snyder County. The pioneers found but few wagon roads through this section, and were obliged to cut their way through the forests and cross deep and dangerous streams without bridges with indians for neighbors, they cleared a farm in the wilderness and deer grazed in their fields in friendly company with their cattle. Ner Middleswarth, having aceompained his par ents to their new home when he was about ten years old. He was born during the Revolutionary war, and was five years of age when the Constitution of the United States was adopted. His existence dated back to the birth of our country, and pass ed on through the war of 1812, the Mexican J. Q. Adams, Jackson, VanBuren, Harrison, ! Tyler, Polk Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce, Buchan an and Lincoln. In 1813, when he was iged thirty years, Union county was formed, and in 1855, when he was seventy-two years old, Snyder county wa erected. He passed thiough two county division campaigns, of which the erection of Snyder out of Union was the most , exciting one in which all public men participat ed . Beavertown was laid out in 1810 when he was twenty eight ypars old, and he was a resi dent there in 1827. When he was thirty-two years old, the war of 1812 with Great Britain commenced. James Madison was P resident of the United States, and Simon Snyder was Gov ernor of Pennsylvania. He raised a company, . became captain and assigned to the 8th Penn'a Rifles. In 1814 he raised another company, became captain, marched to Marcus Hook, where they were stationed awaiting orders to face ttie enemy, the regiment being under Col. Uhl, with Gen. Cadwalder as division commander. In 1815, after the close of the war, he was elected to the Legislature of Pennsylvania and was re-elected thirteen times, serving fourteen terms, from 1815 to 1841. He was twice elect ed Speaker of the House. In 1848 he rep resented his district in the Senate of Pennsyl vania, filling the unexpired term of Dr. Jncob Wagenseller, who died after serving two years. In 1851 he was the Whig nominee for Canal Commissioner of Pennsylvania, and leceived 487 more votes in Union county than Gen. Irvin, the nominee for Govenor. This flattering vote was an evidence of his popularity among the people who had known him from his infancy. The Pennsylvania Canal was built in 1828 when he wa9 a member of the Legislature, and the large vote polled for Mr. Middleswarth for Canal Commissioner induced his party to nomin ate him for State Treasurer in 1852. His name was often mentioned as a suitable person to be elected governor, and he could have secured the nomination had he desired it. In the year 1853 he was elected a member of the Thirty-third Congress of the United States, serving with ac ceptance the term of two years. After the for- mation of Snyder county, in 1855, he was elect ed a county auditor with FrancisA. Jr""0 " and Henry W. Snyder, a son of Gov. Snyder, popular and leading men of the county. After serving three years as auditor he was elected, in 1858, an associate judge of the county, serv ing a full term of five years. He was a public servant a period of twenty seven years, and if we add to this the time he served in the war it will be about thirty years, the period allotted to one generation of men. He was executor, admin istrator and guardian for many estates in his locality which required much of his time, be sides being frequently consulted in matters of public and private business, and being a lover of peace he frequently settled quarrels among the neighbor, thus preventing many lawsuits. ' His BU'-ocssful career seems the more remark able wht-u we consider that his schooling must have ! bet a very limited. When he arrived at the age of manhood, schools were still kept in private houses where English and German read ing were taught . 'This fact is conclusive evi dence that when he wis a youth, if they had schools in the locality where he lived, they were of a very interior ki.il and of short duration, and according to one authority he never attended school but six days in his life. Private study and keeu observation enabled him to secure an excellent education, and he was a fluent speaker in the German and English languages, his ad dress on political and other topics being listeued to with interest by large .crowds of people. As a presiding officer he was dignified, and he dis played a complete mastery of parliamentary rules. His public position brought him in con tact with educated and refined people, and he was a man of polished manners when in the society of the refined. His appearance and manner would attract the attention of those not personally acquainted with him and he would impress a stranger as being more than an or dinary man. During his Congressional term he was elected an honorary member of a number of literary societies in connection with different colleges and academies in Pennsylvania. He would always acknowledge these honors in neatly and proj)erly worded replies, and he would also forward useful public documents a contribution to their libraries. He had an ex tensive corresponednce with his patrons when he was a member of Congress, being then seventy-two years of age with his mental faculties unimpared, and the family now possess a number of requests for him to attend to various businesses in all public department at Washing ton. Among them are letters from Gov. Porter, Gov. Curtin, Gov. Miller, of Wisconsin, Judge Walls, Gov. Pollock, Judge Shindle, Dr. Hot- tenstine, Samuel Pawling, and many others too numerous to mention. His was a busy life from infancy to youth, from youth to manhood, from manhood to old age.- He was a living illustration of the proverb of Solomon: "He that driveth with a slack? hand becomcth poor, but the hand of the diligent mkeXhkbr.ii-Irrkcd txteatfie'i' estate, On which were erected grist, saw and paper . mills, and distilleries and much of bis property is still owiied by his descendants. While he was not a Church member he was a believer in Christianity, and contributed to the Lutheran Church at Beavertown, to which sev eral of his fumily belonged. He died in JujJ 1865, aged eighty-two years, four months and twenty days, and his wife Christiana passed away some time before. Why should the great state of Pennsylvania not acknowledge the great service of this man by making an appropriation to erect a suitable tablet to perpetuate the memory of his distin guished services ?
