Jackmau purchased the material froni Dr. Crawford's estate, and the paper was published by Greer & Jackman until March 15, 1866, when Greer retired. Sept. 14, 1866, it passed from Jackman to George Stroop. Sept. 12, 1867, Jackman again became editor. Oet. 3, 1867, the True Democrat was consolidated with the Juniata Register, and the Democrat and Rey- ister, edited by Messrs. Bonsall & Jackman, appeared ou October 9, 1867, and they have conducted it to this date. In the spring of the night of Dec. 31, 1870, the office was en- tively destroyed in the great. conflagration. By the courtesy of the Sentinel and Republican offices the paper was regularly issued. In Feb- enterprise, with David Wilson as editor, and ruary, 1871, it was enlarged to an eight-colinnn paper and printed ou a Cottrell &' Babcock power-press.
The Juniata Republican was started by Wil- 1868 it was enlarged to seven columns. On ; liam M. Allison & Co., April 4, 1866. The material came from D. Over, of the defunet Bedford Patriot. William W. Davis was the company. Angust 28, 1869, it was made a stock W. W. Davis as publisher and business man- ager. March 29, 1872, Davis died and Allison purchased his interest and assumed full control.

June 5, 1872, 11. 11. Wilson became associate editor. October 10, 187%, the stock and good- will of the association were purchased by B. F. Schweier, and the paper was consolidated with the Sentinel, and the first issue of the Junialu Sentinel aud Republican appeared Oct. 22, 1873, and it is still under this name and ownership.
The Republican Banner was a campaign paper, started September 7, 1875, by II. II. Wilson and T. M. Moore.
The Independent was started by J. W. Sped- dy, January 17, 1870, out of materials removed from Milton, Pa. ; he sold the office to E. B. MeCrum, Jannary 8, 1876, who started the Ju- niata Tribune, February 1, 1876. October 1, 1877, John M. Bowman became editor. Ang- ust 10, 1878, McCrum sold the office to Smith, but Bowman continued as editor till Angust 10, 1878, when the office was purchased by E. D. Parker, and Theorus D. Garman became, and still is, the editor. MeCrum started the Trib- une as a Republican paper, but it was changed to Democratie under the present management.
The Juniata Herald was established, as a stalwart Republican paper, in February, 1880, by William M. Allison, attorney-at-law, who had established the Juniata Republican in 1866, and had been connected with that paper up to the time it was merged into The Sentinel, in 1873. It leads the van of newspaper enter- prise, not only in Juniata County, but in the Juniata Valley; is recognized as the organ of the Republican party of Juniata, and, as such, commands the confidence of the Republican party of the State. It is edited with signal ability, and its pungent criticisms keep the dominant party in the county on its good be- havion. In Ang., 1883, in the last great fire in Millintown, the Herald office was destroyed, everything bat the body-type of the paper being lost, but it appeared the next week as usnal, fresher and brighter than ever. Although the loss was a heavy one, Mr. Allison's insurance having expired a few days before the fire, he has managed to weather that storm, and the Herald promises a long life of nsetilness and prosperity, under the management of its founder.

MANUFACTURES-The cabinet-shop and ware- house of William F. Snyder is located on lot No. 17 of the original plat of the town, and was the site of David Davidson's tavern. The lot was purchased by John McChire of James and William Harris, April 8, 1796, and by him sold to David Davidson the 23d of the same month. He kept the log tavern several years and rented it to many. The post-office was kept there from 1808 to 1812. In ISI3, Mr. An- thony Sandoe purchased the property and tore
down the old tavern and erceted from its tim- burs part of the present shop, and began cabinet- making and continued many years, after which his son-in-law, William F. Snyder, a-smmed the business and still continnes.
In 1867, G. H. Showers and H. S. Scholl erected on Washington Street two buildings,- one forty-live by thirty-two feet, three stories in height; the other forty by thirty-two feet, two stories,-and began the manufacture of buggies, phaetons, sleighs, cte.

" In memory of the Soldiers from Juniata Co., Pa., who died in the war of the Great Rebellion in defense of the Union of their fathers."
A TERRIFIC STORM occurred in Mifflintown and vicinity on Friday, July 11, 1879. About four o'clock in the afternoon dense masses of dark clonds gathered in the northwest and southwest and approached each other, accom- panied by rain, vivid lightning and the sharp rattle of thunder. About half-past four o'clock the clouds met within a mile of the town, and, with a mighty roar, swept towards it from west to cast. It raged for fifteen or twenty minutes with indescribable fury, hurling down every- thing movable, wrenching trees up by the roots, and buildings from their foundations. Walls were thrown down and roof's, piazzas and fences were torn from their places and hurled in every direction by the resistless force. Mrs. Criswell, a lady of seventy-nine years of age, was the ouly person killed. A heavy timber was driven end- wise through the Allen house (in which she was sitting), striking her on the temple, killing her instantly. The Presbyterian Church was almost destroyed and the Methodist and Intheran ('Imurches badly damaged.
The storm passed Fermanagh township to Lewistown, doing much damage. It was nar- row in its range, as in Patterson but little dau-

age was done. At five o'clock the sky was clear and the sun shining as if nothing had occurred.
CHAPTER VII.
LACK TOWNSHIP.1
THE Juniata Valley region was purchased from the Indians July 6, 1751. Settlers had been intrading on this land before this date, and were driven away, but they returned. At length, in 1750, the justices of Cumberland County, with the undersheriff passed through Sherman's, Path and Tuscarora Valleys and the Cove in Fulton County and dispossessed the intruders. It was at last determined to purchase this region as the only sure method of averting serions trouble. This was effected on Albany, at the date above given. A great many men in the Cumberland Valley and farther eastward were ready, at the signal, to locate upon the more desirable places. The Land-Office for the sale of warrants did not open until February 3, 1755; but the number of settlers who had already "squatted" in the new purchase may be inferred by the fact that in three months after the purchase, at the request of said inhabitants, four townships were formed out of the new territory, of which the following is an exact copy of the official record :
" The Court's erection and nomination of new Townships tother side the N Mountain.
" At a meeting of the majestrates in conjunction with the Conunissioners & Assessors of Cumberland County at Carlyle the 23d day of October, 1754, it was concluded that Whengas there has been an ad- dition made to the County aforesaid by a late pur- chase from the Indians: to erect the habitable parts added to the said County into separate Townships and to appoint Coustables in the same for the better regulation thereof.
"Therefore, at the request of the Inhabitants, we do erect the settlements called the Great Cove, the Little Cove & Cannaloes into one township, and nominate the same the Township of Ear and we ap- point John McMeans to act as Constable therein for the remaining part of this current year.
"And farther, we erect the settlements called the Path Valley into a separate Township and nominate the same the Township of Fandt, and we appoint
' By A. L. Guss
John Bard to act as Coustable therein for the remain- ing part of the current year-and we do further erect the settlement called Tuskerora Valey into a sepparate Township and nominate the same the Township of Luc, and we appoint John Johnston to act therein as Constable for the remaining part of the current year -and we do further erect the settlements called Sher- man's Valley and Bufolo's creek into a separate Township and nominate the same the Township of Tyrone, and we appoint John Scott X. Lintou to act as Constable therein for the remaining part of the current year.
" In testimony whereof we have hereunto sub- scribed our hands the day & year first written
"SAM'L, SMITH. " Wn ... MAXWELL. " Jons FINLY."
By the above, Tyrone township included all the present Perry County ; Fannet embraced Path Valley, in Franklin County ; " Ear" was named after Ayr, in Scotland, and comprehended the present Warren township, in Franklin County, all of Fulton County, and with general indefinite limits westward, embracing Bedford County ; Lae comprehended all the Tuscarora Valley and included part of Huntingdon Coun- ty. It will be observed there are no lines men- tioned. It is only stated that certain settle- ments shall constitute the townships named.
On the 9th of July, 1755, Braddock was de- feated, and the French and Indian War ensued, and no records are found relating to the new townships. In 1761 there are constables' re- turns, of " Aire" by William Lyun, and of Fannet by James Elder. Lack is named in the list of townships, but the space for the consta- ble's name is left blank, which shows that few or no people had returned to that settlement.
On March 25, 1762, the court made the fol- lowing appointments : Fannet, Francis McCon- nell constable ; " Aair," William Haynes consta- ble ; Lack, Ralph Starret constable, William Anderson and John McMehan supervisors ; Fermanagh, William White constable. Ander- son and White were killed by the Indians the next year, on the 10th of July.
On March 25, 1763, the court made the fol- lowing appointments : Lack, John McClelland constable, Robert Campbell and Robert Hons- lon supervisors, William Graham and John Erwin over-cer-, James Williams collector.

All the persons appointed for Lack resided in what afterwards became Milford township. In 1768 Lack was divided, and the lower half' was called Milford. In 1825 Lack was again divided, and the lower half called Tuscarora. It is bounded northward by the Black Log Mountain, southward by the Tuscarora Monn- tain, and eastward by Tuscarora, westward by Tell township, in Huntingdon County. Shade Mountain separates Black Log Valley, drained by Black Log Creek into the Anghwick, from the rest of the township. The rest of the township is drained by the Tuscarora Crock and its inflowing streams, the principal ones being Willow Run (formerly Little Tuscarora), Wood's Run and George's Creek. The town- ship is traversed by ridges running parallel to the mountains. The Shade Valley side and the creek side are more thickly peopled than the intervening ridges.
The first assessment was taken in 1763 by William Anderson, who was killed by the In- dians in that year. In the following lists the reader must bear in mind that prior to 1769 Lack covers the half of the county west of the river. These lists must be taken as part of the history of all the townships formed out of Lack.
