Professional men, ministers, lawyers and doctors were distinguished by wear- ing black suits. Blue coats and brass buttons were worn by the masses. All coats were with swallow tails, except those worn by Methodist preachers and Roman priests, which were single breasted with standing collars. The character and habits of doctors were scrutinized and noticed more then than at present. All the doctors of former years in good stand- ing and practice were men of temperatc habits and of good reputation, as they were looked upon as men of consequence and with greater respect than at present. Educated men were not so numerous, which caused the minister and the doctor to be of first importance in the commu- nity. Doctors whose reputation as to morals were doubtful, would have been discountenaneed by public opinion, and would have been compelled to take a back seat. A. B.

HISTORICAL MEMORANDA .- The fol- lowing data relate to the early land war- rants in this section :
Thomas Lindley had surveyed to him 480 aeres of land on the Swatara, in then Paxtang township, in 1733. He was the grandfather of the celebrated ¿grammar- ian Lindley Murray.
Hugh Brady, of Chester county, had warranted to him 150 aercs of land in Paxtang township on the 22nd of Feb- ruary, 1733. He was the aneester of the famous Brady brothers of Pennsylvania border life fame.
Thomas Gardner took up 500 acres in Paxtang township, "where he is already settled," Mareh 4, 1733.
The Turners, James, sr., James, jr., David and Robert, took out warrants for 200 aeres each located on Beaver ereek in Paxtang township, March 14, 1733. This family were among the principal land speculators of that day. They took out a warrant for the land on which Harrisburg is located, notwithstanding the Pioncer Jolin Harris had settled on it twenty-five years, of course only by toleranee, not by purchase. He then secured it from the Turners.
Peter Lane, took -up 200 aeres of land on "Swahatawro" creek, April 4, 1734; and Cornelius Lane the same quan- tity on the same day, ineluding "his im- provement called Captain John's Town," on "Swahatawro." They were probably brothers, and removed west of the Sus- quehanna before 1740, disposing of their improvements to other settlers. We are of the belief that they were of the family to which subsequently belonged the Lanes of the Cumberland and Virginia valleys.
William Dunlap, or Dunlop, settled at the "Forks of the Swahatowra" prior to

1730. His land, 200 aeres, was warranted on the 25th of June, 1734.
Peter Allen took up four hundred aeres of land "in Paxtang township, adjoining to Ketochtenny Hills," as early as 1725. His tract, however, was not patented to him until the 26th of October, 1734. Pe- ter Allen's plantation was on the Susque- hanna north of Clark's ereek, and his stone house was, we understand, yet in existence a few years ago at the foot of the range of mountains which perpetu- ates his name-"Peter's Mountain.' W. HI. E.
OLD TIME CUSTOMS.
SELLING BY INCH OF CANDLE .- "No- tice is given upon the exchange, or other public place, of the time of sale, and in the meantime the goods to be sold are divided into lots, printed papers of which and the conditions of sale arc also forth- with published, and when the goods are exposed to sale, a small piece of wax candle, about an inch long, is burning, and the last bidder when the candle goes ont is entitled to the lot or parcel cx- posed. If any difference happens in ad- justing to whom a lot belongs, when sev- cral bid together, the lot is put up again, and the last bidder is bound to stan i to the bargain, and take the lot whether good or bad. In these cases the goods are set up at such a pricc, and none shall bid less than a certain sum more than another hath before."-Merchant's Dic -. tionary.
DUTCHI AUCTION, as the sale is called because the offered price does not increae but diminish. The thing is put up at a certain priec, which is gradually lowered by the erier, until it is taken at the rate last named.
FEMALE BARBERS are not a new thing. Christopher Marshall, in his diary, writes: "April 15, 1778. I then went down to the barber's, got shaved by his wife; thenee to the Court House, where I was qualified as a grand juryman for Phila- delphia and Chester counties."
BLEEDING IN THE SPRING .- In the same diary, under date of May 13th, 1780: "This was a remarkable day for the German men and women bleeding at Chrisley Neff's. So many came that I presume he must work hard to bleed the whole. Strange infatuation !"
CHAINS ACROSS THE STREETS AT CHURCHES .- In the early part of the present century, in New York, chains were stretched aeross some of the streets, above and below a church, to prevent the passing of vehicles, and to keep away the carriages of those who rode to the church.
MARRIED IN HER SHIFT .- In 1734, a widow, of Philadelphia, was married in her shift, without any other apparel upon lier, from a supposition then, that such a procedure would seeurc her husband in the law, from being sued for any debt of his predecessor. I. C.
BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES.
ALLISON, WILLIAM .- This William Al- lison is to be distinguished from Major William Allison, having been born in Ireland in 1786. He cmigrated to America when quite a young man and came to Harrisburg, where the greater part of his life was spent. He was a leading and influential citizen in the early days of the borough and frequently re- presented its interests in the town council. Hc. served as coroner of the county, from December 18, 1811, to June 2, 1815, and was appointed a rotary public, June 15, 1814. A year or two prior to his death, Mr. Allison removed to Philadelphia, where he died on the 28th of April 1858. He owned considerable land in and adjoining the old . borough, and the bluff on which East Harrisburg is built, and which bears his name "Allison's Hill," was a portion of his estate. He had several children, all of whom are now dead, save one son Hon. Joseph Allison the President Judge of the courts of Phila- delphia, and a native of Harrisburg.
ANTES, HENRY .- Henry Antes, third son of Philip Antes, and his wife Sus- anna daughter of Charles Williams of Paxtang, was born December 4, 1784, in Dauphin county. He was in mercantile life many years at Harrisburg, was a soldier of the war of 1812-14; clerk in the Surveyor Generals offiee; fre- quently a member of the borough eoun- cil, and always a publie-spirited eitizen. At the time of his death was one of the prison inspectors. He died at Harrisburg on the 8th of January, 1860, aged 75 years. Mr. Antes married Catharine

Forster, eldest daughter of Gen. John and Elizabeth Forster, b. 1802; d. February 9, 1872. Of their children only one sur- vives, John Henry Antes of Missouri.
BEADER, HENRY .- Henry Beader, son of Henry Beader, and Margaretta, daugh- ter of Valentine Horter, was born No- vember 16, 1799, at Harrisburg, Penn'a. He learned the trade of a coppersmith, and for a number of years worked at the busi- ness. He served in the borough council a long time, and was clerk to that body. For a period he was a clerk in the Treas- ury Department of the State, and during prior ycars was a justice of the peace and alderman of the borough and city of Harrisburg. He died, unmarried, in his native city, on the 1st of February, 1867, in his 68th year. The DAILY TELEGRAPH, of the 2d of February, says : "In all this long life he bore himself with the dignity and grace becoming a man."
BOYD, WILLIAM .- William Boyd, son of William Boyd, was born in 1733 in Derry township, then Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. His grandfather, William Boyd was a native of county Antrim, Ireland, and emigrated with his family to Pennsylvania, prior to 1730, locating in Derry township. The subject of this sketch was brought up a farmer, became quite prominent in provincial days, was an officer during the French and Indian war and during the struggle for independ - ence. He belonged to the Paxtang Boys whose zeal in defense of their firesides compelled them to destroy the murdering savages of Conestoga. During the latter part of his life he served in the com- mission of a justice of the peace. He was one of the charter members of Lodge 21, at Paxtang, and its second master. In his will he left a legacy to the lodge's charity fund. Mr. Boyd died May 17, 1808, and is buried in Derry church graveyard. He left six children, of whom we have the record of John, who married Mary Williams, and the an- cestor of the Boyds, of Harrisburg.
THE TOOT FAMILY.
I. DAVID TOOT, senior, born in 1726, in Germany, emigrated to America prior to the Revolution. He does not, however, appear on the assessment list until the close of the war, when we find him among the citizens of Middletown, where
he kept an inn, and where he died on the 15th of February 1792, and was interred in the old Reformed grave-yard in that borough; where his graved is marked by rough sandstone, in the center of that shamefully neglected burial place. Of his family, we have the names of two sons -- David who died in 1788 leaving a widow, and George; and a daughter Margaret, wife of Christian King, a man of promi- nence in the history of the county.
II. GEORGE TOOT, son of David, sr., was born August 3, 1759. Very little is known of his
earlier years save that at the close of the Revolution he appears to have been in military ser- vice, which later in life brought him into prominence as colonel of the militia in the lower end of the county of Dauphin. He was a farmer, an innkeeper, and kept a ferry over the Swatara at the beginning of the century. In political affairs he was quite prominent, and was very popular with the people, as most military officers were in the early days of the Republie. He died at Middletown January 23, 1813, and is buried in St. Peter's church grave- yard. Col. Toot was thrice married. His first wife, MARY -, born April 23,1756; d. May 7, 1801, and is buried in the old Reformed grave yard. They had issue. ¿. David ; at the time of his father's death, it was not known whether lie was living or not.
ii. George, b. April 18, 1786 ; d. Feb- ruary 24, 1810 ; buried in St. Peter's church grave yard.
iii. Joseph ; died probably before his father, since he is not named in the will. iv. Michael ; d. at Middletown.
v. Mary ; m. Ludwig Wolfley ; they removed to Ohio.
vi. Magdalena; m. John Smith ; re- moved to Illinois.
vii. Lydia ; m. John Singer.
3. viii. Nancy ; b. January 11, 1795 ; m. Jacob Strite.
Col. Toot, married secondly, March 22, 1807, Mrs. Catharine Shultz, b. 1767 ; d. March 6, 1811. Her maiden name was Catharine Stettler, eldest daughter of Mary Stettler, who was the eldest sister of George Eberhart, (George Frey) and through her Col. Toot became one of the heirs to the Frey estate. 'T'hey had issue: ix. Sarah, b. about 1808; m.

Col. Toot, m. thirdly ANNA EVE PAR- THEMORE, b. January 1, 1776; d. August 19, 1843, at Middletown ; daughter of Philip Parthemore [1731-1797] and they had issue:
x. Adam; b. April 12, 1812; m. May 26, 1836, Catharine Selser, of Middletown; they reside at Grand Rapids, Michigan.
III. NANCY TOOT (George, David), b. January 11, 1795, in Middletown; d. De- cember 3, 1868; m. November 18, 1817, at Harrisburg, by Rev. George Lochman, JACOB STRITE, b. May 23, 1798; d. June 11, 1843. They had issue (surname Strite) : i. Joseph, b. Scpt. 18, 1818, in Middle- town; residcs in Topeka, Kansas.
ii. Mary (Polly), b. Sept. 16, 1820; d. Nov. 18, 1881, in Highspire; m. W. Fisher, son of Daniel Fisher and Catha- rine Parthemore.
iii. George Toot, b. March 29, 1823, in Londonderry (now Conewago) township.
iv. Abraham, b. Sept. 29, 1825, in Lon- donderry township.
v. Barbara, b. May 29, 1828: d. s. p.
vi. Magdalena, b. Dec. 5, 1830; m. Samuel Poorman; reside at Highspire.
vii. Catharine, b. May 18, 1833; d. s. p. viii. Elizabeth, b. March 2, 1837.
In this instance, as in other cases of historic importance, any additional infor- mation will be appreciated. The record of all of Col. Toot's children should be secured. W. H. E.
A MISTAKE .- In "Genealogical Notes containing the pedigrec of the Thomas family, of Maryland," by Lawrence Buck- ley Thomas, of Baltimore, is this state- ment:
"Philip 'Thomas, second son of Philip and Anne (Chew) Thonias, b. July 3, 172-, inherted from his father one-half of his estate at the Susquehanna ferry called "Mount Ararat," married April 30, 1754, Anne, daughter of John Harris, of Har- risburg, and widow of Joseph Galloway, and had issue an only son, Philip."
How such a blunder could have been made we are at a loss to conceive. A daughter or Thomas Cookson, of Lancas- ter, married a Joseph Galloway, of Mary- land, and we presume she is the widow referred to. The first John Harris had
two daughters-Elizabeth married John Findlay, and Esther married Dr. William Plunkct. W. H. E.
THE PARTHEMORES .- A descendant of this old Dauphin county family, Jacob Shuster Parthemore, of Barrett, Kansas, a native of this county, sends us some interesting reminiscences of the family and of "the old home," a portion of which we give herewith :
Tradition says that one of the Parthe- mores was in the war of the Revolution; that after the battle of Monmouth he be- came detached in some way from his company at night, when he crawled up into an old stable to find shelter, and rest and sleep. When he got there he found the stable in possession of British soldiers and was challenged by the sentinels as "who comes there," when he promptly answered a "friend," at the same time handing him his bottle of apple brandy. It being very dark the sentry took a long pull at it. Hc told the American soldier it was all right, he should lay down and sleep. Parthemore did lay down, but not to sleep, for he took advantage of the first opportunity to get out of his un- pleasant situation; so finding the sentry napping, he hastily beat a retreat for other and more congenial quarters.
Mr. Parthemore's father resided prior to 1830, on the Burd (Tinian) farm, bet- ter known as the Ulrich farm. Of it hc says: "We lived on the Burd placc (then owned by Joseph Burd) witlı its five hundred cherry trees and large mulberry trees three feet in diameter. I used to play with the old letters that were left in the office room up stairs, about three bushels of them. Some were from Eng- land. In your last you spoke of the old knocker being on the door yet, and if I recollected it ? This I do very well, and then there was a bell hung at the north door which you could ring by pulling a cord, and which would call the men to their meals. At the out house or kitchen stood a tall Lombardy poplar, which could be seen from York county, many miles off.
I recollect the lawn, the post lane and the chestnut trees, on which latter the boys killed red squirrels with stones. I knew the present owner of Tinian, Mr. Ulrich,

before he was married, and was present when his father bought the farm for about $30 per aere, and the next year eut down all the mulberry and cherry trees, with few exceptions. I remember when the eanal was dug, and of going to the Burd farm when Uncle Frederick lived on it. On a Sunday we went from there to see an "old darkey woman fortune teller." On the way Frederick said he wondered if the old witch could tell anything, and after looking in his eup, she told us ex- aetly every thing that happened to us that night. She said we would be dis- turbed by the night hawks, and sure enough we were.
THE BRETZ FAMILY.
LUDWIG BRETZ was an early settler in Upper Paxtang. Ile was a soldier of the Revolution in Capt. Albright Deibler's company, and was wounded at Long Island. He was afterwards in the service as sergeant in Capt. Martin Weaver's company, doing duty on the frontiers. He owned a tract of land, but there is no record into whose hands it passed, or when Mr. Bretz died.
There has been sent us the record of the family of John Bretz, which we give herewithi, and we are inelined to the belief that he was a son of the one above named, from the fact that the eldest son is named Ludwig. There may be those who ean untangle this difficult web.
I. John Bretz, b. December 15, 1771; d. April 1845; m. Catharine Fox, b. Dee. 21, 1773; d. May 1862, at Middletown. They had issue:
i. Ludwig, b. 1792; m. Margaret Wolf. ii. John, b. Aug. 9, 1794; d. Mareh 8, 1861, in Perry eounty, Penna; m. Catha- rin Hufnagle, b. May 3, 1795; d. May 23, 1870; and had Jacob, George and Catha- rine.
iii. William, b, March 16, 1796; d. in Ohio; m. - --- Cassel.
iv. Thomas, b. January, 4, 1798; d. in Perry county, Penn .; m Mary Hufnagle.
v. Elizabeth, b. Oet. 1799, d. Dec. 19, 1882; m. George Fisler.
vi. Jacob, b. May 27, 1801; m. Milleisen.
vii. Susan. b. March 1, 1803; d. May 1880; m. first, Abraham Ebersole, d. 18- 31; and liad John, Jacob, Anna m. Dan- iel Parthemore, and Abraham, m. sce- ondly, John Eshenaur, and had Joseph. viii. Annia Maria, b. Nov. 15. 1804.
ix. Isaac, b. Nov. 8, 1805; m. Catha- rine Moyer.
x. Simon, b. April 27, 1808: m. Mary Garverieh.
xi. Catharine, b. Dee. 25, 1809.
xii. Joseph, b. April 19, 1811; m. Ke- siah Moyer.
xiii. Benjamin, b. Aug. 23, 1812, last on the Ohio river, while on a boat, removing to Iowa, with his wife and tour children; two children eseaped; they re side at Steelton.
xiv. Mary Ann, b. May 19, 1814; m. John Osman.
xv. Sophia, b. Jan. 13, 1816; m. 1st. Isaae Knerr, who was drowned in the Susquehanna; m. secondly, John Spring- er: reside in Iowa.
We believe only three children of this large family are living-Jacob, Simon, Mary Ann and Sophia. Some one of these ought to have a record of their grandfather's family. If there are no papers, memory ought not to be at fault.
