Neglecting the dates notice these remarks: "Opened my mind to an individual on a subject interesting to me & having troubled my mind for some time, but not to be made public." If our parson were not at this time a married man we might suspect a proposal under this veiled expression.
The brethren of the cloth will respect the fine sense of honor and clerical comity in the following:
"Richard Porter called to see if I would solemnize marriage [he invariably says "solemnize marriage"] between him & Kezia Martin on Tuesday next. I told him he should get Mr. Bradford to do it, as he is their own minister, and he agreed to do so."
"Today called at David Luken's and repaired his clock." Another instance of the variety of his accomplishments.
He wrote wills for the people, attended to many matters of business for them, yes, and loaned them money, with and without notes and interest. He had always a shilling for a beggar man or a gift for a neighbor down on his luck, or a widow or orphan in need. This record occurs: "A colored man called asking aid to purchase his family who are in slavery in Virginia. He said he had a wife and 8 children, & that $2,200 are needed to purchase them. I gave him $1." Another: "Gave a colored man who lives in New Castle, 50 cents to assist in relieving his son who is imprisoned in Virginia, having been sold as a slave by a drover."
"Abigail Dildine gave me a pair of socks as a present."
"Mr. M- called in the morning and spoke roughly to me for worrying his hogs yesterday with a dog. Attended to study." That is a good way to do when people annoy us-attend to study. Four days after: " Mr. M- called in the morning & paid me $2 which he borrowed more than a year ago." Moral-Worry your debtor's hogs with your dog and he will pay up.
The Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad was the first road constructed

History of Beaver County
in Beaver County (it is now the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne, and Chicago), and we have a notice of the interest which it excited among the rural popula- tion. Dr. D. goes to Presbytery at New Brighton, and that day the 16th of September, 1851, is a red-letter day in his calendar. He writes: "Had the pleasure of seeing the cars pass on the railroad thro Brighton. They made a splendid appearance." Next day: "Spent the forenoon in view- ing the cars and the railroad."
On the 15th of the next month, October, he decides on a ride on the cars to Pittsburg. "Isabella [Andrews] and I started for Pittsburgh a little before 4 o'clock & arrived at Bridgewater a little after 7 o'clock. Left my buggy and beast at Dunlap's tavern. Paid $2 for tickets for Isabella & me to Pittsburgh and back. We took the cars & arrived at Allegheny city at about 9} o'clock." Dec. Ist, as he is returning home from a visit he sees "the cars which convey the iron for the railroad run off the track near James Duff's." Dec. 8th: "Yesterday was the Sabbath. Felt grieved to see a number of men at work on the railroad. This morn- ing learned that the cars are to commence running as far as Palestine today, & to continue running daily. Heard their whistle & the report of a cannon at Palestine."
Jan. 1, 1856. "Heard that a fearful accident happened last evening about 5 o'clock at the Darlington station by the meeting of a freight train of cars and a passenger train by which Mr. Stokes, stage agent, Mr. Johnston, brother to David Johnston, tavern keeper, & a stranger were instantly killed, & about 17 persons were wounded."
August 20, 1856. "The company constructing a railroad thro our place [the Darlington Cannel Coal Company, afterwards the Pittsburg, Marion, and Chicago Railroad Company] had a celebration to-day. A carload came down their railroad to our place & they had a dinner in grove which the company obtained of me. We all went up to the grove & took dinner. Several short speeches were delivered. When they returned I went in the car with them to James Duff's. The road is now ready for transporting coal."
May 14, 1841. "This day is a fast appointed by the President in consequence of the death of President Harrison."
April 12, 1845. "Heard that a tremendous fire occurred in Pitts- burgh on Thursday, by which about taoo houses were consumed & an immense amount of property."
The limits of our space will not permit further quotation.
Dr. Dilworth's last days were spent in Enon Valley, where he died April 18, 1868. He was buried in the family burying-ground on his father's farm, and Sept. 26, 1800, his romains were removed to Little Beaver cemetery.
