His tongue should be bored through

said, calls himself a clergyman. He
holds forth in pulpits. Ho preaches,
prays and exhorts, draws down his face,
drops the corners ot his mouth, and un
dertakes to look sanctimonious. And
yet ho seems always trying, in his pul.

telling the Lord what an infernal scoun.

with the dark wrecks of wantonly-ruined

heard unfavorable to gentlemen while

from his noso. Xot tho fuliginous es.

tho lire-and brimstone fumes from tho

friend on earth out of his own family.
Ti'o doubt there are those who fear him
or his fiendish ferocity, but no human
being not of his own household ever
loved or respected him. He will have
his reward- Sowing in wrath, ho will
reap in agony. Pury and bate may
stiflo in his heart the feeling of remorse
Jor a time, but Xemesi ), with her hor

EARLY SETTLEMENT OF It I DO WAY AND
V 1 0 1 N I T It' CO NTINUEI1.
In and about tho year 1813, l Mr.
Kersey, a land owner, cams into tho
country for tho purpose of forming a
ttlement. lie was accompanied by
James and David lleenian, John Ky-
ler, Jacob Wilson, JMijali Meredith, Li
bia Taylor and perhaps ono or two oth
ers. They came in by way of and
across IVvm Mountain, crossing Little
Toby near what is now called "Oys
ters," thence up tho creek, and taking
tho left branch to what is now called
I'randy ('amp, thenco across tho bridge
to Elk Creek, where Mr. Kersey built
saw nnd grist mill, known for many
years as tho Kersey Mill, This routo
could not have beeu otherwiso than a
11 hard road to travel," still it was the
only passage kuown, or which had been
explored, and probably ended at the
" Kersey Mill." Tho first r.ttempt at
road cutting, (it could not bo called
road making) su it consisted of mcifcly
cutting out tho fallcu logs, clearing
away tho underbrush, and blazing tho
trees from Ueesmm'3 to Jacob Wilson's,
thence to Jcdin Kylor's, passing Mora
dith's place. Thus Kyler was at tho end
ot all roads. When ho wished to get
out, his way was to start ia tho opposite
direction ho wished to go, viz: first to
the Keirey Mill, thence to llee;sinan'iJ,
then westwanlly to Urandy Clamp, wheio
Tsaao Iloitoii now rcsidis and whero bo
must encamp ; and a hard day's jour
ney oi 15 milo3 it was. Ho was then
unconsciously about 1 J miles lrom his
cabin, and were it not for tin interve
ning ridge, could have vecognized his
owu cow.bcll, or the barking of his own
dog ; ho would then follow down the
stream to near the 'Oyster place,"
about two miles farther, thence on his
route via loon Mountain. To anv one
now acquainted with this part of tho
couutvy, tins would appear as a round
about " Iiuhiu Hood way, nnd so it
was : but Mr. Kyler and his son Jesse
then quite a young lad. (now the highly
rcspcccuu ana luuueuuai ciiueu, ocssc
Kyler, l.sq.,) after a yonr or two cogita
ting upon the course of the brook bo-
loro their door, came to tho couelusiou
that it uiust bo a tributary to tho stream
they crossed some 17 miles distant lroui
their homo ou their way out and in, and
wore this tho case, it must shorten tho
distance. This theory was not accepted
by his ueighbors, and Mi". Kyler and
Ins son stood alone, ihero was as much
doubt in their minds as of Capt. Syra
ncs theory of sailing through tho center
of tho earth by mi entrance at tho polos.
Uut iur. Kyler ami .lesso resolved upon
an exploration to frid, if practicable, a
lihartcr route to Uoon Mountain, and
their old home. With a prudence aud
caution lcnul-sito for so trreat au adveiv
ture into au unknown fwc.it, tlioy pro
vided themselves wRU a supply ot pro.
visions, and appurtcuanccs for camping
out, that had a like preparation been
made by Lieut. Strain iu liis mcuiorable
trip across tbo Isthmus, the .sa 1 calami.
ty that overtook his party would have
been averted. Mr. Kyler and Jesse
left their hemic a;ri started on their per.
ilous journey. They had tho before
mci'lionoil stream to guide them, and
after an hour's, (it might have been two
oi them.) moderate travel thev sudden
ly emerged into an open path lo.i-iiug to
tho right- It was examined, it was
scatincJ. There were tracks, wheels
had visibly showed their ruts was it
real or were they enchanted: Ihey
courted it up and down, backward and
forward, uutil some known, souio reoog
nizod marks, convinced them thai tlicy
had sirisek the very road over which
they ha ! often travelc 1, and at a point
which had btfor. required a day and a
half to reach a distance of 17 miles.
They retraced iheir steps to their cubin
home iu time for tho " noontide " meal
uuder their oh a roof. No timo was last
in imparting their discovery to the
neighbors, who were.n astounded, andso
incredulous, that nolhiiig less than o:ou.
Lir proof would cottviuco them Tho
next day tho route was traversed with
like suectss. A few days were sutiicicut
to make a road, cutting olf the great
circumbendibus road around which
they bud before traveled. This aum
siag fact may oxcite a smile from the
reader, at tho wantol knowledge of the
true position aud location reluiivo to the
old load over which tlioy had before so
olten weaned with their wagous aud
teams. 15 at tho sequel will show that
long alter tins, stranger misconceptions
or mo laeo oi ttio country wero corrcc,

ine next settlers ttiat camo were
Messrs. Broekway, Joel, Philelus and
Klihu Clatk, Dr. Nichols, Capt. Goff,
Abyali N ced, Uol. Webb, Milton John
son, Jesse V ilson, Mr. Morey, (fathc
of K. Mcrt-ey, Esq.,) Dr. and Gould
Iloyt, with thoir families. They woro
from Saratoga and Montgomery Coun
ties, N. Y. Tlioy came up tbo Siuna
niahoning and Honuctt's lirauchin ca
noes. They had traded thoir farms for
theso wild lands, aud wo aro not aware
that they ever repented their bargain
but it is not reasonable to believe that
had they known wht they had to on
counter in their settlement and tho no.
sition of their lunda, however favoratlo
such a barter would havo been made.
l!ut they wero hardy, bold pioneers, and
it cannot bo said that they faltered 0"
turned back. They lived ou for years
in tho uianuer mentioned in tuo precO'
ding part of this history indcod, most
of tho immigration took plaoo within
tho past tow years. Othor sottlcrs who
camo in soon after, wero Messrs. War.
ners, (Zobulon and Hezekiuh,) Isuao
llovton, Messrs. Tliompson, Hancock,
Miuh nnd Jonah Rogers. McCuuley,
Vial, Pau.ly, Giecn and others. They
made improvements, and opened out
farms in and about tho neighborhood of
Kersey. Nothing as yet was known of
Riilgway as a placo, or tne spot wiicrc
Gillishad located, until his improve,
monts commenced. From 1822 tol824,
Gillis had pushed his work rapidly on,
with ample means, nnd by his Hercule
an efforts nearly 40d acres we.ro clear,
cd, a saw and grist mill erected on Mill
Creek, 3 miles west of Montmorency,
and a Carding Machine was also put in
oporation. 15y great watchfulness and
folding the sheep at right, and warned
by their watch doss, tho settlers in Ker
sey contrived to raise sufficient wool to
clothe themselves. A carding machine
might therefore havo been considered n
convenience, rather than an article of
necessity. It was surely not from any
piofit expected to bo derived, that
promptod Gillis to such an expense.
From the fact that tho crist and saw
mills were placed upon Mill Crock, Gil
lis and Itidgway both must have expec
tod that settlements must havo wended
towards that quarter, and not without
reason. Tho Olean Kond from Arm
strong Co. to tho York State line would
cross Gillis's road west from Mill Creek,
at riuht nnslea, some ? miles west of tho
mill, and tho laud hisblv favorable for
cultivation. The laying out of tho
Olcan road was a State work, and tho
land owners nnd settlers must have been
enthusiastic with regard to it. Paul
K. Scull, Ksa.. once informed tho wri
ter that such was tho confidence at tho
timo of its beiutr travelled and settled
upon, that it was emphatically predic
ted that a stage and four horses would
shortly bo en the line. Tho result did
uot justify the prophecy. It was uscci
for rcturnins lumberman on foot from
Pittsburg to Alleghany and Cattaraugus
Counties, N. Y., for a number of years, j
and until the uiidetbrnsh precluded all
pcdcstriahism. If the writer was not j
misinformed, no teams passed over it,
much less a stago coach and four. It
may have been that tho failuro of this
road in stimulating settlements, sugges.
ted H tho fertile mind of G illis, as much
larger, ouei it may bo said tho gigantic
projoc'. of the -'ay aud ago, of opening
the county by i.lio construction of a turn
pike uriJer the directum ol a stock com
pany from Uellcfontc to tho New York
State lino uear Oleau, a distance of 120
miles any and every mile or which will
bo denominated a wilderness. No mad
cap enthusiast ever projected a scheme
that was met with more surprise and
confidence ol its failure than this bold
project of Gillis. In the winter of 1S21
ho drew up his potiuou to tho Legisla
ture for a charter, his Kersey ueighbors
signed it, and with his sleigh and hor
ses he crossed the Bennett's branch near
Morey 8 settlement, and thence to Kar
thaus, tho first team that ever was driv
en through that 23 miles of wilderness.
It is questionable whether any other
wau, or madcap, than James L. Onus,
would, ia the depth of winter have dar
ed to attempt it. At Bellcfontc his pe
tition was signed by a few. lie then
proceeded to Ilarrisburg. Judgo Uuru.
side was thou Senator, and Geu. John
Mitchell a member of tho House both
were from Centre County. These gen
tlemen wore much amused at Gillis's
zeal in so gigantic au cutorpriso, as it
appeared to them. Tho Legislature
could not rjluso to graut a charter, but
as to any help being given it would bo
preposterous to ask it. f.lr. ludgway,
though a man of cnUrged ideas, and
most specially to be benefitted by the
road, ridiculed the project. Tho bill
granting tho charter passed that winter
and became a law. Jleforo tho next
meeting of the Legislature tho Icasibil.
ity of making tbo road wai lnoro appu
rout, and Gillis succeeded iu obtaining
aa appropriation, or rather a subscrip
tiou, of 820,000 from tho Stato to its
stock. The company was immediately
organized uuder tho name aud style ot
the " Milesburgh and Smctbport Turn
pike Road Company." Its first officers
were P. Karthaus, President, Managers,
Jno. Colgrovo, Georgo Otto, Judge Ot

rooollcotiou of thoso stirring aud lutcr

having siuco passed through mauy kcuncs
of a hicrhlv interesting and exulting
character, must look back upon tho ma
king of this turnpike as ono of the most
difliuull and nrduoin duties of his whole
life. During several sessions of the
Legislature his presence was necessary
to secure an " appropriation " or sub
scription to its stock by tho State, until
by repeated application its subscription
amounted in the agerrogito to 800,000
and they wero entitled to it as much
as any other bounty bestowed upon oth
er parts of the State. It has been re
fuudol twice over in the increased val
ue for taxablo purposes, and it would
havo been moro just to that section of
Pcnn'a. had they doubled that amount,
and enabled them to mako abetter road.
Clearfield and Jefferson Counties each
subscribed $1,000, which was never re.
pudiatcd, but promptly paid. They nev.
or even dreamed of creating a bonfire
to destroy the validity of their subscrip
tions- Such a wizzard scheme was left
tor moro cunning heads to devise, as in
tho case of the County subscription to
the Allegheny Valley Railroad. This
first section of tho Road that was made
was from Karthaus to Snow .Shoe, about
7J miles. This was done by the sub
scription of Mr. P. Karthaus. This
gentleman was largely interested in tho
road, and his liberality was equalled by
his zeal and personal attentions. It
would naturally bo supposed that the
first work would have commenced at
Milesburg to Snow Shoe, to tho coal
beds, but it was otherwise?. Tim Belle
fonte meu were behind Mr. Karthaus
in tho enterprise. That pirtion ot tho
road from the N. Y. line was simult.a.
ncoudy commenced with that at Kar.
thaus. The completion of the turnpike
from the State lino to within 3 or 4
miles of Bunker Hill was of the gic.at
est importance to tho Ridgway scttel
mcnt, though thero was yet a long dis.
tanco of wilderness intervening, two
davs travel at least, nnd oue or two
nights' encampment, were required
But so much was gained aud that was a
relief, and revived hopes of tho future.
