That the reluctance or tardiness of the sheriff, the commissioners, and Kidd, to remove the offices from Jaysburg and locate them at the county seat became a sub- ject of remark, there is reason to believe. Complaint of this dereliction of duty, if not positive disobedience of the law, seems to have been made to the Governor, and at one time he seriously contemplated issuing an order for the removal to be made. The feeling regarding this matter is shown by the following correspondence:
Williamsport, June 4, 1798.
SIR: Some time last winter I wrote to the Governor [Mifflin] for permission to keep my offices at Jaysburg for another year. I mentioned at large my reasons for the application, and principally rested upon the unsettled situation of our seat of justice. I had my application presented by Chief Justice Mckean. His letter of the 10th of February last, of which I send you a copy, satisfied me. I particularly noticed your expressions on this subject to the Chief Justice. In return for your attention please to accept my sincere thanks.
Afterwards, about the latter end of April, I was privately informed that application had been made to the Governor to obtain a refusal of his promise to stay at Jaysburg and to direct me to remove to Williamsport. At May term I removed all my papers belonging to the offices of prothonotary and others connected with the courts, to this place, whereat I now keep them, and wrote to the Governor that I had done so. I informed him at the same time that then I still retained the recorder's office at Jaysburg; but that unless I could speedily obtain his permission to keep it there I would remove it likewise.
Mr. Joseph J. Wallis, a young man at Jaysburg, records for me. His situation renders it very inconvenient for him to remove with me-this summer at least. I am desirous on this account of retaining my office of recorder at Jaysburg for this summer or until next spring. There is as yet little business to he done in the prothonotary's office in vacation, and the two towns of Jays- burg and Williamsport being about two miles distant, easily admit of a superintendence at both places. I have written to the Governor of this date requesting that permission. Iu fulfillment of my promise to the Governor, I will remove that office likewise about the 20th instant, unless I first receive his permission. If I am directed, I will do it on the first notification of the Governor's pleasure.
I uow take the liberty to solicit your good offices in this behalf, which, should I be so fort- unate as to interest, I shall gratefully remember it.
I am sir, your very humble servant, JOHN KIDD.
Alexander J. Dallas, Esq.,
Secretary of State, Philadelphia.

HISTORY OF LYCOMING COUNTY.
The tenor of this letter clearly indicates that influences were at work to have all the offices removed from Jaysburg, and that there was imminent danger of the Governor directing the same to be done. Humble apologies and subservient promises only restrained him from acting. It seems that a dilly-dallying policy had been pursued by the officials whose duty it was to have made arrangements for the change, which leads to the couclusion that the opponents of Williamsport still hoped that the decision of the commissioners who selected the site might yet be set aside and Jaysburg chosen: If they entertained such an opinion, they clearly overlooked the language of Sec. 7 of the act creating the new county, which clearly says that the report of the commissioners selecting the site for the seat of justice " shall be final." Had it not been for this positive language it is probable that Jaysburg would have triumphed in the end. But the law, and the legislature-owing to the influence of Judge Hepburn-was dead against her and she had to submit to the decree of fate, go into decline, and finally pass out of existence.
A copy of Chief Justice Mckean's letter in reply to the one written by Kidd, to which he refers in his communication to A. J. Dallas, is appended to complete this correspondence:
.
Philadelphia, February 10, 1798.
SIR : The Governor called at my house the morning after I received your letter to me enclosing one for him. I mentioned your request and delivered your letter. He read it, and asked my opinion, which I gave him without hesitation in favor of the measure, and he then told me that he would give you a formal permission to reside where you now do for a year, or longer, if necessary.
A few days after I waited on him at his house in town, but was informed he had gone to his seat at the Falls of Schuylkill, where he was indisposed. He remains still unwell, and has not been in town since. I have postponed writing to you hitherto, until I could enclose the permission under the Governor's hand, agreeable to the 3d section of the 6th article of the Constitution, but I have not yet been able to obtain it for the cause assigned. I called on the Secretary, Alexander J. Dallas, Esq., last night, as I had oftendone before, to learn when the Governor would be in town, but he could not inforin me with certainty, tho' he told me he had nearly recovered his health. However, he told me the Governor would certainly grant your request, and that I might assure you of it.
You may rest perfectly easy, for the permission will be granted as you desire. I am, sir, with esteem,
Your most obedient servant, THOMAS MCKEAN.
To John Kidd, Esq., Prothonotary of Lycoming County.
Notwithstanding the Chief Justice was so positive that "formal permission " would be granted for Kidd to keep a portion of his many offices in another town- or in other words, divide the honors of the county seat between Jaysburg and Williamsport-there is nothing, so far as I am aware, to show that the Governor even acted beyond a verbal promise ; and the uneasiness shown in Kidd's letter of June 4th indicates as much. Whilst the Governor undoubtedly was inclined to favor the Williamsport faction, the Chief Justice warmly sympathized with the Jaysburgers, but the slowness of the Executive to officially make good his promise finally became ominous, and Prothonotary Kidd, with the close of the eighteenth century, closed out his business in Jaysburg and officially established all his offices at the county seat.

W ITH the beginning of the nineteenth century the Assembly deemed it proper to have a careful enumeration of the taxable inhabitants of Lycoming county made, and an act to that effect was passed, March 7, 1800. The requirements of the law were promptly complied with by Commissioners Thomas Forster, Charles Stewart, and James McClure. The original report for each township, as made and forwarded to the secretary of the Commonwealth, was found among the time-stained papers of that department at Harrisburg, and as the names never have been printed, they are given herewith to show who the taxables were in the original townships ninety-one years ago. The report of the list of names for each township bears the autograph signature of each commissioner, but the names of the enumerators are not given; and as the minute book of the commissioners for 1800 is missing, they can not be obtained. It is likely, however, that the report was made up from the assess- ment lists.
