eyes gleaming, glittering, 'and snakish. His body swaying to and fro, he regarded Tom a moment, and then murmuring, " Revenge is sweet! my knife shall drink the blood of the panther which has slain my kindred !" he prepared to strike. Instinctively Tom fell flat upon his face, and the knife which was intended for his heart passed harmlessly over him. The drunken savage, having missed his mark, was unable to pre- serve his balance, and fell headlong over the prostrate body of Tom. He struck his head heavily against the log wall of the garret, and fell stupid, stunned and senseless upon the floor. 'Tom disengaged himself from the fallen Indian, who was now powerless to hurm him, and regained his former position. Suddenly the idea occurred to him that if he could get possession of the Indian's knife he might be able to cut himself loose, and having waited sufficiently long to ascertain that the fall of the Indian did not awaken those below, he threw himself upon the floor again, and moved over it like a worm, in the direction of the Indian; but the thong which was tied to his neck was not long enough to enable him to reach it. While crawling back to regain his erect position, his foot came in contact with something which felt colder than the rubbish on the floor, and which a search revealed to be the knife he sought. He managed to get the handle of the knife between his teeth, and soon freed his ankles and cut the strip of hide which bound him to the rafter. He then thrust the handle of the knife in a crevice in the side of the cabin, so that the blade pointed firm- ly outward. Then, by turning his back, (for his hands were tied behind him,) he contrived to cut the remaining fastenings. Once free, he got possession of his rifle, and having removed some of the bark with which the cabin was covered, jumped from the garret, and reached the settlements of Minisink entirely destitute.
At this time Tom was considerably advanced in years and felt the infirmities of old age fast growing upon him. This compelled him to relinquish, in a measure, his former habits, and occupy himself principally with his traps. He generally lived with a man named James Rosekrantz, about three miles below Carpenter's Point, where he was kindly treated and every comfort he could desire furnished him. He was regarded by those who knew his history with a deferential awe, and was spoken of by his admirers with as much enthusiasm as was Bonaparte by the sokliers of the French empire. He is described as being six feet in height; raw-boned ; with high cheek bones; bright and restless gray eyes; and his hair, before it was silvered by age, was a dark brown. He talked but little-in fact was taciturn and very quiet in his demeanor.

His features were grave and dignified, and seldom relaxed into a smile. In summer, until his last sickness, he was in the habit of making occasional visits to the scenes of his adven- tures. When solicited to do so, he would generally relate in a modest way, the particulars in regard to the murders he had committed openly; but could seldom be induced to talk of those committed when no witnesses were present. As his in- firmities increased upon him, he found a roof necessary, even in summer, to protect him from the night air during his hunting expeditions. Consequently he resorted to some house or cabin in the vicinity of his traps. His headquarters in summer were generally at the house of Showers, near Mongaup Island, or at a hut near Hagen Pond. Those who knew Tom in his latter days say that he carried his favorite rifle until the stock where it rested on his shoulder was worn through, so that the ramrod was visible at the place. His accoutrements were all equally time-worn, and his dogs were in keeping with him. Outlawed by his own government -- alone he waged an unrelenting warfare against the race which had incurred his hatred, and maintained the unequal contest during his whole life, foiling his enemy at every point, and eluding each artifice to ensnare him, until he finally succeeded in rendering the safety of an Indian in his locality so precarious that they abandoned it altogether and left him in undisputed possession of their former hunting grounds. Tom died of old age at the house of Rosekrantz in 1795 or 1796, regretting to the last that he had not shot more Indians .*
The only murders in the County of which the law has taken cognizance, and the circumstances originating them, are the following : Cornelius W. Hardenburgh's wife, of Rockland, in connection with other relatives, inherited property in Falls- burgh. Anthony Hasbronck, a prominent and wealthy citizen of Fallsburgh, purchased the entire interest of the other heirs, but could not make satisfactory terms with Hardenburgh and his wife. A quarrel and law suit ensued, and Hardenburgh, fearing his wife's interest would be consumed by the expenses of the suit, and having become greatly enraged at Hasbrouck, concluded it to be his duty to remove him from the earth. He went to Hasbrouck's house on Sunday evening, Dec. 20, 1840, armed with a rifle, pistol and knife, and, after some conver- sation about the matter in dispute, attempted to shoot Has- brouck with the rifle ; but Hasbrouck sprung and turned aside
*The story is prevalent that Tom died of the small pox, and as soon as his enemies learned of his death they exhumed his body, cut it into small pieces. and sent the pieces to all the Indian villages far aud hear, to be burnt after he wes dead. as they bad not the pleasure of doing It prior to that event. By this means the contagious discaso was spread among the Indians, and bis death proved moore fatal to them than hle life.

the muzzle, and the ball entered the floor. Hardenburgh then drew his pistol and shot Hasbrouck through the intestines, after which he drew his knife and cut and slashed him fear- fully about the neck and thighs, and inflicted several wounds on the body. Both were large and powerful men. Two years previous to this occurrence, Hasbrouck was a candidate for Member of Congress. Hardenburgh was a member of the Methodist Church and was professedly a religious man. He rigorously observed his religious practices till his death ; even in his cell, where he supposed he was not observed, he uni- formly asked a blessing before eating. He was hung at Monti- cello, July 14, 1842 .*
May 16, 1850, Timothy Palmer was murdered on the Shaw- angunk Mountain, in the town of Mamakating, by his brother, Wm. R. Palmer. The brothers had purchased wild lands on the mountain, in partnership. Timothy persisted in peeling bark, to which William objected, and a quarrel ensued, which resulted in William's shooting Timothy. To conceal his crime he pried up a tree which Timothy had just felled, and under it placed the body. Timothy was missed, and found the same evening. The firing of the gun, the report of which was heard, in connection with a knowledge of the existence of the quarrel between the brothers, caused suspicion to rest upon William, who was arrested, convicted, and, on the 20th of Nov., 1851, was hung at Monticello. He made no public confession ; but just after the execution, the attending clergyman, Rev. James Adams, announced to the people congregated to witness it, that the prisoner had a few hours before confessed the crime and admitted the justness of the sentence.
On the Sth of Sept., 1868, in Callicoon, Noah Bigelow attempted rape on the person of Cynthia Sager, aged eleven years, and murdered her to conceal his crime. When the murderer was apprehended, a strong disposition was manifested to act on the order of "Judge Lynch," but more prudent counsel prevailed and he was handed over to the officers of the law. He was tried and convicted, and on the 5th of July, 1869, at noon, was hung at Monticello, by Sheriff Bigelow.
Owing to the insufficiency of data at command, we are una- ble to give a full and concise history of the part taken by Sul- livan County, in the war of the Rebellion, as we should like to do. Enough is determined, however, to warrant the assertion that she was not behind her sister counties in the performance of her duty, and that ,when the future historian shall be enabled

to do her justice, her record in that eventful period will be a noble one-worthy the devotion of the illustrious sons whose lives she sacrificed on the altar of liberty. The 143rd Regt. N. Y. Vol. Infantry, organized at Monticello, to serve for three years, was termed the Sullivan Co. Regt., as it was mainly raised in this County, two companies only being raised in Tompkins County. The Regiment went into camp at Pleasant Lake, near Monticello, Sept. 1, 1862, and was mustered into the U. S. ser- vice Oct. S, * 1862. It left camp Oct. 10, 1863, under Col. David P. Dewitt, and arrived at .Washington (D. C.) on the 16th of that month. The Regiment participated in about a dozen engagements, f and was mustered out of service July 20, 1866, in accordance with orders from the War Department.
