FORMATION OF HIJC COUNTY.
As (he enterprising settlements lroni

ferson, M'Kcan and Clearfield were so
dblant, and as beloro observed. Hid
way was a Central point, forty miles
from each county court, including War.
ren also, a new county was demanded to
meet the growing requirements of (he
settlers, aud during the years from 1335
to 1SG2, replications were annually
made to tho Legislature for a new coun.
ty from ofl tho counties tibove named.
There was of ccuif e much discussion rs to
tho lines, aud how much off each coun
ty. Many of tho citizens in tho boun
daries of tho couuty proposed, were tim.
id and fearful of heavy taxation for the
organization and that "county orders"
tnen quite a circulating medium, would
fall to 50 per cent, off their face. Ou
the other side it was argued that as the
county buildings were to be erected by
private subscription, (ho county man
agemcnt being more concentrated and

lived so far from tho centre of business

tho people were Timothy Ives of Pot
ter, Jas. v. Guthrie of Clarion, and
Z. II. Eddy of Warren. They received
invititlous from several parts of (he
eo'in'y accompanied with offers of lan I
suffieicLi in quantity for ul the public
buildings. Tho most tangible offer
made outside Ridgway towards this ob
ject, was by Matthew McQuoin Esq.,
who held by article one hundred acres
at tho forks of tho road leading to
Hrandy Camp, now so universally known
as tho Hoot Jack " four miles cast of
Ridgway. Jfc offered all tho land (tho
county paying up the article) above
named, and would give a years' work
toward the erection of the public build-ices.
It is just however to state that Ron.
beu Win&low Esq , agreed to rrouii.se
that in case tho commissioners would
fix upon bis place at the mouth of Trout
Run, the cxpetifo of (ho buildings
would bo provined f.,r. Gibson town,

isolated position in regard to iVs seat of
justice very generously set off to Elk.
Tho township was very great in length,

elongation in (hat direction did indeed
detract from Ridgway is n geological

of land on tho southern part of Mo.
Kcan, and Trout Hun bo the most cligi.
ble place for tho capital, with tho com
fortable assuranoo to the Ridgway men,
that they being successful in legislating
a new county into existence, they could
change too lines by taking tho balance
of Jefferson county, lying north of the
tonih line of Elk, now composing a pait
of Forest, which would then make
Ridgway a mere central geological position.
This kind and wise suggestion did not
fully satisfy the Ridgway men, they
" couldn't s-e it;" saw no reason why
their whole programme of county line
now established by jears of efforf,
uiouttbo changed in order to mike
county seats for tho future ; and the
commissioners probably took the same
view; locating the scat of justice at
Ridgway and laid out the site for publie
buildings. They also regarded it as
their duly to secure (ho subscriptions
