BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY.
WILLIAM GRIMSHAW.
William Grimshaw was born in 1782 at Greencastle, Ireland. He received a good classical and English education, and emigrated to America in 1815. He settled first at Philadelphia, where he engaged
in literary pursuits, subsequently remov- ing to Harrisburg, where he resided many years, becoming thoroughly iden- tified with its history. Hc owned the "Lochiel" farm. Towards the close of his life he removed to the city of Phila- delphia, where he died in 1852. Mr. Grimshaw was the author of a large num- ber of works, many of them school histo- ries. He also published "Life of Napo- leon," "Etymalogical Dictionary" (1821), "Gentlemen and Ladies Lexicons" (1829), "Merchants Law Book," "Town Book," and "American Chesterfield." He was a gentleman of erudition and culture.
DANIEL KENDIG.
Danicl Kendig, son of John and Eliza- beth Kendig, was born at Sunbury, Northumberland county, Penna., March 16, 1802. He went to Middletown when quite young, and was apprenticed to his brother Martin to learn saddlery; subsc- quently entering into partnership in the lumber trade, then the great business of that town. In 1862 he was appointed As- sessor of Internal Revenue for the dis- trict, which he held until removed by President Johnson. He was at one time a candidate for sheriff, but defeated; was an elder in the Presbyterian church, and a gentleman of high integrity. He died at Middletown, December 31, 1876, and buried in the cemetery there. Mr. Ken- dig was twice married-first to Susan Shelly; second, Sarah Rutherford, and left children by both.
ISAAC SMITH.
Isaac Smith, was born about 1780 in Lan- caster county, Penna. He came to Dau- phin county in the early part of the pres- ent century and settled near Halifax. When the second war with England was declared, he offered his services to the State, and when in 1814, the city of Bal- timore was threatened by the enemy, he marched with a company of volunteers raised in the "Upper End." He repre- sented the county of Dauphin in the General Assembly sessions of 1824-5 and 1825 6. He died about 1834, and is bur- ied in Fetterhoff's church burial ground. Capt. Smith married Susan Baker of Lan - caster county, and their children were William, d. s. p .; Elspy, m. George W.

CHRISTIAN KING.
Christian King, the son of William King, was born near Middletown, Penna., February 1, 1758. Although but a boy, at the outset of the Revolutionary strug- gle, he entered into the service, and was with Capt. Crouch's company in the skir . mish at Chestnut Hill where he was slightly wounded. He subsequently served on the frontiers. When the new county of Dauphin was organized he be came quite prominent in political affairs. He strenuously opposed making Harris' Ferry the eointy seat, justly preferring Middletown, then a village of importance, while the former was not, and where all his business interests were. He was one of the commissioners of the county froid 1790 to 1792, and served in the General Assembly from 1793 to 1795. IIe died on the 1st of May, 1795, in the midst of his sphere of great usefulness, and is interred in the Lutheran graveyard at Middle- town. Mr. King married Margaret Toot, daughter of David Toot, and sister of Col. George Toot, b. July, 1747; d. Sept. 29, 1782. She was probably his first wife, for by reference to the tomb- stone records in our possession, we find that Rachel King wife of Christian King b. in 1763 ; d. March 22, 1801. Of the children we have no knowledge.
THE "BURD FARM "-On reading the Parthemore story in Notes and Queries it recalled to mind matters connected with the same farm-then Joseph Burd's now Ulrick's. My father, Jacob Ebersole, moved on the farm in 1821, and lived there until 1826. I well remember the many cherry trees, the large mulberry trees, and the lombardy poplars. There was also a large black walnut tree stand ing about two rods southwest from the house. Under it, in the shade, my father, on one occasion, while lying there play- ing with the children, saw a large black snake along one of the limbs, when gath- ering the little ones into the house, he took his gun and shot it. I well remem- ber the old knocker on the front door, the post-fence lane, and the many chestnut
trees. In December, 1883, I saw the same farm, but how great the change. J. H. E.
THE EBERSOLE FAMILY.
I. ABRAHAM EBERSOLE, an old settler, came from Chester county, Penn'a, and purchased a farm at the head of formerly Elder's mill dam, in now Swatara town- ship. There he and his wife lived all their days, the farm at their death pass- ing into the possession of George Sherk. Their grandson, Joseph H. Ebersole, has the old family clock standing in his resi- dence at Williamstown, "ticking as good as ever, " although during the Revolution the leaden weights were taken out by or- der of Col. Grubb to mould into bullets. Of the children of Abraham Ehersole, all, save Benjamin, reached the age of eighty years. They were as follows:
i. John; d. in Lancaster county.

OLDEN TIMES IN HARRISBURG.
[Our correspondent continues his remi- niscences, or rather notes concerning "Old" Harrisburg, which will be found interesting. They vividly, recall the days of tallow eandles and sleepy watchmen. ]
The population of Harrisburg was for many years a stationary onc-from three to four thousand. Night watchmen and lamps on the streets were unknown until the removal of the Legislature from Lan- easter in 1812. The lamps which burned whale oil and gave dim light were only lit during the session of the Legislature which met then in December, the citizens having to grope and stumble on indiffer- ent sidewalks in the dark for nine montlis of the year. Four watchmen were em- ployed by the town council only during the meeting of the General Assembly, whose duty it was to fill, clean and light the lamps, which were located as are lamps. present
the The watchmen went on duty (they were four in number) at ten o'clock, and, as was the custom then in large cities, ealled every hour at each half square corner, naming the condition of the weather, as, for in- stance: "Past twelve o'clock, and a eloudy morning." They were authorized to ar- rest disorderly people found on the streets. The watehmen, however, were no protec
tion against thieves, as the latter knew where the former were on the district by his crying the hour. A watchhouse or box was in each district.
The oil lamps were used until the in- troduction of gas in 1850.
Friction Matches were unknown, and the best families with others depended upon keeping alive a hickory chunk, or the tinder box, flint and stcel. The old style tinder box was a tin box about four inches in diameter and two inches deep, without a lid-a circular flat piece of round tin fitted in the box. Tinder was made by burning linen rags (as cotton was not much used then) in the box, and when partially consumed they were smothered by pressing the in- side lid upon them, causing them to ig- nite from a spark struck from the flint and steel, then a brimstone pointed match was applied to the burning tinder and the match lighted.
The light used in most families were tallow candles, dipped ones especially, mould candles being two or three cents per pound dearer. Even the stores were lit with mouk! candles placed in high candlesticks on the counter; as was also the Legislative halls, before the introduc- tion of gas. Two sperm candles were placed on the desk of each member, which were not lit the second time, the attendants appropriating all stumps for their own use. The court house and some churches were also lit with tallow candles . placed in tin holders. which were hung on the walls. The first built Lutheran church had a pair of glass drop chan- deliers which were suspended over the cen- tre aisle on an ornamental iron support, from a rod which entered the ceiling. Can- dles were placed in holders around the chandeliers which required snuffing, which was done by the sexton entering the church, pulling down the chandeliers, snuffing the candles and pushing them up again. The ornamental iron fixtures that the chandeliers hung to was made by Balthazer Sees, and proved him to have been a fine mechanic. The more promi- nent families used the astral lamp in the parlor and dining room which was orna- mented with a globe, and burnt sperm oil.
Pocket sun glasses were much used by smokers to light segars and pipes by the

sun'sfoeus. Sun glasses were sold in most of the stores for eight and ten cents.
The late George W. Harris, Esq., who had his office near the Court House, in- formed the writer that during the winter when the fire of his stove had gone out during the night he would carry live coals from the offices in the Court House or from a neighbor's in a crock to start his fire by.
The fuel in use was hickory and oak wood, which was plentiful and good. It was burned during the winter and cool months in ten-plate stoves to cook and heat with, and on the open fire places on and-irons in warmer weather. The old Franklin stove, which was only an ornamental east-iron fire place, with handsome brass and-irons, was used in the parlors of the wealthy. The coal used in stores and churches was from Wilkes- Barre, and was transported in the spring in arks on the river. It came in large unbroken lumps, and required much la- bor to break it fine enough to use in the old eannon stoves, the only stove whiel was invented to burn it, although it was used by very few in grates. Cooking stoves were unknown. A briek bake oven was indispensable to every house. No one would occupy a house without one. They were build outside of the kitehen with the mouth in the building. It re- quired a peculiar talent in a bricklayer to build an oven that would bake well, hence all bricklayers were not good oven builders.
Wood Sawing was the principal employ- ment of laboring men, and was done on the street in front of the house.
Chimney Sweeping was an avocation carried on by colored men, who employed boys trained to to it. They were on the street early in the morning before people made their fires, singing their peculiar songs, and when employed to clean a chimney, entering at the fire place, after reaching the top of the ehimney sung a short impromptu song to let pco- ple know that they had reached the top. The principal employers of chimney sweeps were Ezekiel Carter, who was successful enough to purchase a large piece of ground near the northwest cor- ner of Fourth and Market streets, and which has since become valuable and the
center of business. John Battis was an- other and Edward Bennett who was the last, previous to the general use of coal. He lived in what was formerly called Judystown on Third and Mulberry streets -a negro settlement-named after the proprietress Judy Rikard, whose daughter Bennett married and from there he sent his sweeps early every morning. They also made tours for miles into the country and small towns, pursuing their avocation, B.
JOHN JOSEPH HENRY.
John Joseph Henry, son of William and Anne Henry, was born November 4, 1758, at Lancaster, Penna. His great- grandfather, Robert Henry, came from Scotland, cmigrating in 1722. With his wife Mary and three sons, John, Robert and James, he settled in the Doe Run valley, Chester county, where he and his wife died in 1735. Of their sons James died early, who did not survive infaney, and Robert, following the current of the Scoreh.Irish emigration, went into the valley of Virginia, where he left many sons and daughters, and they numerous descendants. John Henry married the daughter of Hugh DeVinney, one of the Huguenots of the Pequea valley. He remained upon the homestead, but dying in middle life, his family consisting of five sons and several daughters, be- came scattered. William Henry, the eldest of these, learned the trade of a gunsmith, at Lancaster, where he subse- quently rose to prominence in public af- fairs, being a member of the general congress, treasurer of the county and a long time one of the justices of the peace, dying in 1786. He was the father of the subject of our sketch, Young Henry's early education was fair for the times, but growing up amid the excitements of the anti-Revolutionary period, when the strug- gle eame books were thrown aside, and although a mere strippling of seven- teen he volunteered in the first company war raised for the in Pennsylvania-Capt. Matthew Smith's of Paxtang. He had joined without the knowledge of his father, but his good mother entered fully into the spirit of the youth, made his rifleman's uniform, con sisting of leggings, moccasins, and a deep ash colorad hunting shirt. The story of

that campaign, in which he subsequently participated, has been preserved us in his "Aeeount of Arnold's campaign against Quebee, in the autumn of 1775"-and by far the most interesting record in exist . enee. .
Released from captivity in the fall of 1776, he returned home. apparently in health, but with the seeds of disease deeply planted in his constitution. The seurvy from which he suffered in the prison at Quebee, attacked with terrible force the knce which had been injured in the assault. The joint became the seat of a violent inflamma- tion, disease of the bone followed, and when two years afterwards he left his couch, it was only to walk with a eruteh through life. Some good, however, came out of this evil. He became a student, dc- termined to take the law as his profes- sion. His preceptor was Col. Stephen Chambers, of the Revolution, a gallant offieer, a brilliant lawyer, and whose un- timely death in 1789 was greatly deplored. After several years of assiduous study, young Henry was admitted to the Lan- easter eounty bar, January term, 1785, and at onee commeneed the practice of his profession at Lancaster. He was among those admitted to the Dauphin county bar at its first eourt, and of which he beeamc the president judge 1793. Upon ĥis ap- pointment as judge he took up his res-
idenee at Harrisburg. About the
year his
1804 constitution, severely shattered in youth, began to SO give way, and so frequent were the at- tacks from which he suffered, that he was unable to perform his usual amount of labors. The judicial distriet was a large one, and the non-performance of his du- ties eaused petitions from several of the counties to be presented to the Legisla- ture for his removal, nothing being al- leged against him, however, but absenee. That honorable body, in 1808, having ex- amined and considered the charges, ae- quitted him with honor. His eommission he retained for the space of two years longer; but at last unable to fill the arduous duties of his office in the latter part of the year 1810, he tendcred his resignation to the Governor of the State. Four months later, while at Lancaster on
a visit, on the 15th of April 1811, he passed from his earthly labors, and is in- terred in the burial ground of the Mora- vian church there. Judge Henry mar- ried a sister of Colonel Stephen Chamb- ers. She died at Harrisburg. They had two sons, Dr. Stephen Chambers of De- troit and Dr. Julien of St Louis, both deceased, and several daughters, only one of whom reached maturity-Anna Mary who married Hon. Thomas Smith, of Delaware county, and left issue.

THE BAPTISTS OF HARRISBURG. -- Early in February, 1830, a missionary of the Baptists eamc to Harrisburg. A eongre- gation was formed in the April following in the Unitarian meeting housc, which then stood on a part of the ground now oceupied by the postoffice, about the eenter of the plot, facing Locust street. This building was a neat one, used after the failure of the few Unitarians to sus- tain its organization, by the Methodists and Odd Fellows.
The Rev. Dyer A. Nichols, the mission- ary spoken of, found few of his denomi- nation resident at Harrisburg, but they were sincere Christians, excellent people indecd. At the first meeting "a church" was formed, consisting of Griffith E. Roberts, Wm. H. Rittenhouse, Abigail Rittenhouse, Thomas Corbit, Fanny Philips, Mary Berry and Ann Wilkinson. A. B. H.

The foregoing are only a portion of the Inns of Harrisburg prior to 1800. In 1796, Capt.

But Harrisburg was then as now the higli way to the Western coun- try-hundreds of wagons with immi- grants arrived daily, and for their accom- modation, -the number of inns, taking into consideration their capacity, was never sufficient.
