Sunday, June 25 .- Cedar Springs, Cumberland county. A large and genteel society, but in great and furious turmoil about one Mr. Kennedy.t who was once their preacher. Poor I was frightened. One of the society, when he was asked to set the tune. answered : "That he knew not whether I was a Papiast or a Methodist, or a Baptist or a Seceder." I made him soon acquainted with my authority. It is now sunset. and I am sit- ting under a dark tuft of willow and large sycamores, close on the bank of the beautiful river Juniata. The river, near two hundred yards broad. lined with willows, sycamores, walnuts. white oaks, and a fine bank-what are my thoughts? Fair genius of this water. O tell me, will not this, in some future time, be a vast, pleasant, and very populous country? Are not many large towns to be raised on these shady banks ? I seem to wish to be transferred forward only one Century. Great God. America will surprise the world.$
Monday. June 26 .- I rose early with the purpose of setting off for Sunbury. I had an invitation to a wedding in the neigh-

t The first church was commenced at Cedar Spring in 1763. The settlement having been broken up by the Indian War, the building of the church was suspended and not resumed until the year 1767. when it being found that the old logs were rotten, they were rejected . and a new church built within about four rods of the site of the old foundation. March 30, 1767, location entered for 200 acres adjoining Thomas Baxter, Robert Nelson, and John Wilkes, in the names of James Patterson and James Purdy, in trust for a Presbyterian meet- ing-house and grave-yard. About 1774 a parsonage was built and occupied by their minister, Mr. Kennedy. Mr. Kennedy was suc- ceeded by Rev. Hugh Magill, who was pastor until 1800, and died there in 1805.

borhood, but my business will not permit me. After breakfast I rode to one Mr. Boyle's, a well-disposed, civil, and sensible man. He entertained me kindly and acquainted me largely with the disturbance with Mr. Kennedy. I dined with him and his wife. She looks very much in person and appears in manner like my much-honored and ever dear mamma. Thence I rode onward through a dark bleak path, they call it a "bridle road." to one Mr. Eckert's. a Dutchman. [German.] He used me with great civility and politeness. Distance rode to-day, 25 miles : course N. E. I met on the road a tinker, on the way to. what is called the "New Purchase."" He has been at Co- hansie.+ Knew many there, at Pottsgrove, Deepel. and New England town. He told me that he had been acquainted in Seven Colonies, but never vet saw any place in which the in- habitants were so sober, uniform in their manners, and every act so religious as at New England town, and Mr. Ramsey was his favorite preacher. He spoke of religious matters with un- derstanding, and I hope with some feeling.
Tuesday, June 27 .- Rode from the clever Dutchman'st to Sun- bury over the Susquehanna, fifteen miles. I think the river is a half a mile over, and so shallow that I forded it; the bottom is hard rock. Sunbury is on the north-east bank. It is yet a small village but seems to be growing rapidly. Then I rode on half a mile to one Hunter's. § within the walls of Fort Au- gusta. Then I rode onward to Northumberland about a mile, but on the way crossed the river twice.

THE POLLOCK FAMILY OF PENNSYLVANIA.
BY REV. HORACE EDWIN HAYDEN.
II.
In 1791 when he departed from New Orleans to return to Philadelphia. he bore the following flattering letter from the Governor to Edmund Randolph, Governor of Virginia :
" SIR : The bearer of this letter, Oliver Pollock, Esquire, had the honor of acting as public agent at this place, during a considerable part of the late war, on the part of the United States and also for the State of Virginia. Mr. Pollock, in the execution of the orders he received from these States, contracted very considerable debts in this place, which he was unable wholly to discharge ; although he disposed of all his estate, real and personal, in this country, at a great disad- vantage, for the purpose of fulfilling his engagements with his eredi- tors in this province.
" Mr. Pollock has since his arrival here very honorably and to the entire satisfaction of his creditors in this province, discharged all his remaining debts here, to a considerable amount ; which he owed on account of the United States, and the State of Virginia. The just integrity evinced by this gentleman in the faithful discharge of his engagements entered into for the service of his country, strongly in- terests me in his favor, and induces me to pray you will have the goodness to take him under excellency's protection ; and that you will be pleased to give him your aid in obtaining as speedy a reimburse- ment as may be for the monies now due to him from the United States, and from the State of Virginia, which I shall esteem as a per- sonal favor conferred upon myself.
" I pray God to take you into his holy keeping.
" I have the honor to be, Sir, with the greatest respect, your Ex- cellency's most obedient and humble servant,
"ESTEVAN MIRO."
In 1791 or 1792, Pollock returned to Cumberland county, Pennsylvania, and purchased the property now known as Silver's Spring. Here his wife died and was buried and here his son James was killed. In 1797 Pollock became a candidate for Congress, but was defeated by General John Andre Hanna of

Dauphin county. In 1804 he was again an aspirant for Con- gressional honors in the Congressional district composed of Cumberland, Dauphin, Mifflin, and Huntingdon counties. He and David Burd of Huntingilon were against General Hanna of Dauphin. and Robert Whitehill of Cumberland. Pollock and Whitehill being both from the same county, neither were elected, the vote being as follows : Pollock, 1.700; Whitehill, 1,514; Burd, 3.245 : Hanna. 2,931. The vote of Cumberland county was as follows, showing Pollock's popularity : Pollock, -1,367 ; Whitehill. 614; Burd, 1,168: Hanna. 462.
In 1806 he was again nominated. but withdrew in favor of Whitehill on the score of friendship, and to avoid a similar vote and non-election of either candidate.
He is recorded in Philadelphia as having taken the oath of allegiance to the State of Pennsylvania. October 10, 1786, as "Oliver Pollock, of this city, gent., arrived here from Havanna near two years." In 1783 he became a member of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, in Philadelphia, and so became one of the original members of the Hibernian Society in 1791.
He was twice married. First in New Orleans or in Havana about `1765, to MARGARET O'BRIEN. b. Ireland, 1746, and descended by both parents from O'Brien, of Clare, and Ken- nedy. of Ormond. She was the mother of all his children. She d. Carlisle, Pa., January 10, 1799." He was m. 2d, No-
* In Eline's Carlisle Weekly Gazette for Wednesday, January 23, 1799, we find the following tribute to her memory :
"On the 10th inst. departed this life, Mrs. Margaret Pollock, a lady of distinguished birth and family, wife of Oliver Pollock, Esq., aged 52 years, and on the 13th her remains were deposited near the present residence of the family at Silver's Springs. She has left a husband and seven children, who lament in her a loss most dear.
" Memory will long sustain a cause for tears, and each feeling breast acquainted with the real character of our deceased friend, will long most fondly dwell on the many excellent traits of goodness that illu- mined those days she passed on earth.
" In her we saw the faithful, the tender, the affectionate wife-a pa- rent most fond. indulgent, and kind-a friend, cautious, just, sincere, and warm-a Christian, engagingly pious, benevolent, and liberal. She sought the tear of misery and relieved it-her soul melted at the mis- fortunes of others and made them her own-her mind was great and

vember 2, 1805, by the Rt. Rev. John Carroll, D. D., at Balti- more. Maryland, to MRS. WINIFRED DEADY, widow of Daniel Deady. of Baltimore. This marriage was neither a suitable nor a happy one. He moved to Baltimore in 1806, and she d. there of billious fever November 17, 1814, aged sixty years, and was buried in the old Cathedral cemetery, Baltimore, Maryland.
At her death Pollock moved to the home of his son-in-law, Dr. Samuel Robinson, at Pinckneyville. Mississippi, where he died at a very great age. December 17, 1823. In his later years Mr. P. had become so embarrassed by his financial fail- ures that / May 30. 1800, he dates one letter from the debtors' prison, Philadelphia.
His New Orleans residence still stands, built of cypress wood, in what was formerly a whole square of ground, ornamented happy ; and she was blessed with a memory both fertile and pleasingly useful to rear the tender thoughts of youth, with a talent peculiarly her own. Endowed with a well cultivated mind, and an excellent understanding, her conversation was ever engagingly instructive and desirable. During her long confinement, she discovered much of that true courage which consists in knowing how to bear with misfortune ; she never was heard to complain of the Divine will that was about to tear her from the fond embraces of her dearest connections ; but with a firmness of mind, which alone proceeds from a conscious rectitude, her soul obeyed the awful mandate, and departed in a smile, amid the supplicating prayers of her weeping disconsolate family.
"Such the Saviour, to his arms receives, And fullest blessings of his kingdom gives ; Such, the bount'ous God of Nature owns
For such his Son gave up his dying groans.
"Friendly Angels for her guidance given Point her way to yonder blooming heaven ; For purest bliss and one eternal day, Her pious soul hath left its native clay.
"How great the change, from little earth to Heaven ! Where joys most true, for trifling shades are given.
"Cease fond nature-ah ! thou can'st not save One loved feature from the spoiling grave- Her spotless soul that body ne'er shall stain, Nor all thy griefs recall it back again.
"Mrs. Pollock was born in Ireland, and descended from.a noble family by both her parents-O'Brien of the house of Clare, and Ken- nedy of Ormond, whose sons were distinguished in foreign services."

He became very wealthy ; but nothing more can be learned of him. He is said once to have lived in St. Petersburg, Russia.

VII. LUCETTA ADELAIDE POLLOCK, (Oliver.) b. N. O., 1783; d. unm. at Philadelphia, Pa., March, 1804. Her remains were buried under the Roman Catholic church there. In the MSS. copy of Watson's Annals of Philadelphia, now in the posses- sion of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, is a water-color drawing of Lucetta. Under the likeness Mr. John F. Watson, the author of the Annals, has written these words: "The above is a likeness drawn from life by the celebrated General Kosci- usko, done at Philadelphia, 1797-8, when the Congress was in session there. He was in attendance claiming a compensation for his services and wounds. It represents my amiable friend, Lucetta A. Pollock, who died at Philadelphia, in March, 1804, in her twentieth year. She was the daughter of Oliver Pollock, Esquire, distinguished in the Revolution for his zeal and ser- vices in the American cause while a resident of New Orleans. My daughter, Lucetta, was named after her." The will of Lu- cetta was recorded 1804, Bk. 1, p. 258, and is on file in the Register of Wills' office, Philadelphia .*
