BENJAMIN RUSH."
[FRANKLIN'S LETTER TO RUSH.]
-PASSY, March 12, 1784.
" DEAR FRIEND :- This will be delivered to you by Dr. Ross, who is strong- ly recommended to me by persons of ilistinction in England, and who, after travelling over a great purt of the world, wishes to fix himself for the rest of his lite in America. You will find him a very ingenions, sensible man, aud be pleased with his conversation; and you will therefore exense my requesting for him those civilities which you have a pleasure in showing to strangers of merit, and such counsels as from his unacquaintedness with our country may be useful to him. With great esteem, I answer, my dear friend,
yours, most uffectionately,
B. FRANKLIN."
[DR. RUSH TO MAJUN KEENE.]
PHILADELPHIA, September 24, 1784.
" DEAR SIR :- Ever desirons to contribute as much as lies in my power to the growth and reputation of Sunbury, the capitol of our County, I have encouraged Mr. Ralph Bouie, a lawyer uf excellent character, from Scotland, to settle in your village. May I beg your particular attention to him? He means to invite a body of emigrants from Scotland to settle in Northumber- land, if he-likes the country.
"Plense to tell Mr. Jos. JJneob Wallis, I shall send him the three warrants he wrote for inn few days. I rendily assert tu being connected with him in them upon the terms he mentiuna. With compliments to Mrs. Keene, I am dear sir, yours sincerely,
BENJAMIN RUSH."
AN EARLY TIME'S SCHOOLMASTER.
Mr. James Tiekman heing desirous of immolating himself on the altar of public duty, offered his services to the people of Augusta, to train the youth- ful mind "in the ways that are rough"-in other words to give them a good classical education. He winds up an earnest appeal to those he solicited as patrons, in a euphonions P. S. "Yon will also send books and paper and pens and a pennife, as I always larne skolars to make their own pens, but, you need not send pens to them that you don't want to rite, nor hooks to them you don't want to reed, which they can do without them. I need not tell in the words of the poet,"
Tis edokation forins the youthful minds, Just as the I wing's Inclined The tree win bend.
DOMESTIC TRAGEDIES.
A domestie tragedy, of a character, at the present day to excite but little commeut, but then in the fall of 1848, of such a nature as to shock the whole community, occurred in the quiet, Teutonic settlement of Upper Muhanoy, at the time mentioned. Mr. Daniel Snyder, wife and family, resided here, where for many years they had been in the quiet and penceful enjoyment of the fruits of their honest toil, and where they looked forward to a life of comfort, with their family about them. For some time, Mrs. Snyder had been laboring under an apparent aberration of the mind, and had spent some time in the asylum, from which she had returned home cured. One morning, shortly after her return, she arose from her bed, leaving her husband sleeping, went to the yard, procured an axe, and by two well-directed blows, ended the mortal existence of him, who a few minutes before had been lying by her side all unconscious of the terrible fate so soon to be his. Mrs. Snyder attempted to throw herself in the well, but she was prevented by her son, who by this time was aroused. She then returned into the house, seized a razor, and nearly severing her head from her budy, fell dlead besides her husband's body.
In 1862, there residled in Shamokin, about three miles south of Snyder- towu, a Mrs. L. C. Chamberlain, who unfortunately had a step-daughter married to a Mr. E. B. Rhoades. Rhoades joined the army in 1861, but returned after the expiration of one year, stopping on his way home to his friends, with Mr. E. T. Drumheller, Jaudlord at Sunbury, and registered his name on the hotel register, November 6th, 1862. This act, simple and com- mon-place as it was, led to his conviction on the first trial for the murder of his mother-in-law. Rhoades arriving home, accused Mrs. Chamberlain of having wronged his wife, her step-daughter, out of fifty dollars, for which he could get no satisfaction. Of the controversy between the two-the slayer and the slain-nothing is known, but that through some means he enticed her into the woods, two hundred yards from her house, and then shot her dead. He was arrested, tried by nn impartial jury, and pronounced guilty; his plea of being at the time of the murder, in the army, being controverted by Mr. Drumheller's hotel register. A new trial was granted, and Rhoades was cleared. It would hardly to to impugu the honesty of twelve jurymen; men who, in this country of unexampled freedom and purity, often settle issues involving lives, and thousands of dollars, and frequently themselves unable to read; but it is claimed that Mr. Rhoudes' old father was poorer by some twenty thousand dollars, after his sou's acquittal.
ELEVEN HUNDRED JUDGES.
Many years ago, there resided about eight miles east of Sunbury, a farmer and hotel keeper, who was noted fhr and wide for the good cheer dispensed at his table aud counter, and who could appreciate a good joke with the best. Approaching his hostelry one warm summer day, came a neighboring far- mer, earnestly debating in his mind, how he shonkl obtain a drink of bonny- face's hraudy, without producing an equivalent in cuiu. He was returning from court at Suuhury, and at last a happy iden entered his cranium. Hc entered the hotel, and after passing the compliments of the day, commenced in strong terms a denunciation of the court. Upon heing interrogated as to the cause of his asperity, he replied that there were eleven hundred judges on the bench, and still it was the weakest court ever seen in Sunbury. Bets being made, and nu explanation asked for, he proved it ns follows. Judge Jordan, ocenpies a seat on the bench-he is 1 ; Judge - sits beside him-he is 1; Judge - sits on the other side-he is 0; I occupied a seat for a few minutes beside him, another 0; making 1100. The thirsty farmer was deelared winer by the multitude, whose aequnintance with the judges, enabled them to appreciate the joke.

HISTORY OF NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.
CHAPTER 1X.
WAR OF THE REBELLION-MUSTER ROLLS-CAPTAINS JAMES TAGGART, WELLS, AND SLATER-SANITARY COMMISSION, ETC.
By far the most important event in the history of this country, since its nelvent as an independent nationality among the nations of the earth, was the war which commenced in 1861, and ended in 1865, overthrowing the oligarchy that had been attempted in one section, and proclaiming us at once the free and independent people, that we had only been in name to that date. As to the issues growing out of the attempt to establish a separate nationality in one part of the United States, and the results of the struggle for national life, we, as local historians, have nothing to do, except in so far as the events of the war affected localities and local interests. It is our pur- pose and duty to speak only of the part borne by, and the effect produced upon Northumberland County and its people, leaving to others the discus- sion of the intricate questions involved, and a settlement of the issues brought out. The spirit manifested hy the leaders of the South, engendered in the breasts of the people of the North a strong feeling, that became intensified in bitterness, at every progressive step. It was not sectional, but was par- ticipated in by every man und woman who had an ancestry to honor, and a future to provide for. So general was this feeling, that at the first attempt to throttle the infant-that had hardly as yet thrown off its swaddling clothes- a universal ery of alarm and distress was heard, throughont the entire land. emanating from every patriotic beart in the country. The enormity of the crime sought to be committed against our institutions, was not fully com- prehended, until the clash of arms, in the hands of contending hosts, began to resound from the scene of strife. For a moment the liberty-loving sank down, as if palsied with fear, but the reaction brought to the front millions eager to avenge the country's wrongs. With the seenes that followed to many of us werc .. miliar. With the gloom, that like a funeral pall over- hung our beloved land the first thirty months of the struggle, came the feeling of despondency, reaching almost to despair, that wrenched from the hearts of all a wail of sorrow and woe. The dark cloud, like the canopy of night, that at Fort Sumpter was scarcely larger than a man's hand, extended its ebony hue, until the entire horizon had been overeast, and bade fair to wrap in its mantle, the institutions that a hundred years of arduous labor hud scarcely established; but intensified the love of country that pervaded every breast, and aroused to action, the lovers of liberty everywhere. The calls for help were responded to, all over the loyal North, and legions prof- ferred aid to repel the advances of those who sought the nation's life. It would be invidious to particularize, when all exhibited so much enthusiasm, and hence it only becomes ns, to treat upon the part enacted by our own sol- diers, in the bloody contest. As has been elsewhere stated, the inhabitants of Northumberland are composed largely of the descendents of the Scotch-Irish, -than whom a more determined and fearless people never lived-of English whose love of freedom prompted them to a settlement in a country pre- suming little else then n life of hardship und deprivation of all that had made home attractive-and of hardy, brave, Germans, whose love of quietude and wealth, never vitiates their love of country. Among the descendeuts of such an ancestry, the call for help to save liberty to the future, was not in vain. From town and hamlet; from hillside and vale; from the form and shop, in countless numbers, the sons of Northumberland moved in solid phalaux to the front, and on many a hard-contested field, shed the blood of the bravest and best, in defense of universal liberty. How well they responded ; and the fate that befell many, will be shown in the final state- ments accompanying the muster rolls of Northumberland soldiers. A strong and persistent effort has been made to do full justice to the brave men of this County, who staked life itself on the issue between the South and General Government. Officers have been appealed to, and every source followed up, but all to no avail. We had hoped to perpetuate in local history, scenes and incidents of the last war, that in a few years will pass into the realms of forgetfulness; to record here the deeds of daring participated in by our soldiers; to preserve for posterity, by narration of events, the names and deeds of heroes, whose bones now lie mouldering in Southern graves, and whose names will soon be forgotten. To this end, the co-operation of all officers and relatives has been solicited, but in no case, except by Colonel Taggart, of Northumberland, and Dr. John, of Shamokin, has a favorable response been made. The muster rolls are doubtless imperfect, as some names have been omitted, aml some added of solliers from other counties. Such as it is, we append it, trusting to be instrumental in this wise of per- petuating the memory of a few of the brave of Northumberland County.
