TOMB STONE RECORDS

Of Derry Presbyterian Church, I [With the assistance of the Rev. Thos. H. Robinson, D. D., on the 14th of July, 1878, we eopied all the tombstone records of Old Derry Church. It is too true that the despoiler, Time, will soon efface many of these, and so to preserve them we pro- pose to print them in Notes and Queries, from time to time, and with verbatim transcript. They are worth preservation in this form; and no doubt, in the lapse of years, when the sandstone and marble of that ancient graveyard shall have crumbled into dust, some copy of this list will give the deseendants of those Seoteh - Irish pioneers a trace of their lineage.

OLDEN TIMES IN HARRISBURG.

[Our correspondent continues his inter- esting notices of old Harrisburg. ]

Politics .- People were divided politi- cally and more bitter in their feelings under the first Constitution than since the adoption of the second one, or the amended

one of 1790 in 1838, which stripped the Governor of the enormous patronage he had. Candidates were subjected to great personal abuse, even dragging family af- fairs which eccurred in the kitchen into the newspapers. The last two candidates for Governor who were subject to the worst possible abuse of this character were Joseph Ritner and David R. Porter, at the time of the adoption of theamended Constitution in 1838. Since then person- alities have gradually been discarded, and the former political and public record of candidates are alone criticised.

The most important day of the year ob- served as a holiday was the Fourth of July. It was the great political day, when parties tried to vie with each other in numbers and display. Each party cel- ebrated the day at different places, choos- ing a grove or woods near the borough, as they were then convenient and sur- rounding the town. One of the most de- sirable places was the fine large woods belonging to the late General John A. Hanna, now on Thirteenth street, all cleared, part of the land being occupied by the Roman Catholic cemetery. At these gatherings speeches were made and toasts read, composed of regular and volunteer ones, lauding the candidate and principles of the party and detaming and speaking ill of their opponents. The entertainment was free to all present, the expense being con- tributed by the prominent men and local candidates. The collation consisted generally of cold boiled ham, bread, cheese, cucumber pickles and a plentiful supply of porter sangarec which was more abundant than water. The pro- visioas were placed on long rough board tables, supplied with knives and forks and new tin cups. The sangarec was made in large new tubs, which were kept well filled, barrels of porter were purchased from the brewers, which was mixed with water and sugar. Cold water from a neighboring spring was

used, as a woods was always selected having a spring of water, as there were no large ice houses, icc being little used, except for ice cream. After the re- freshments and speech-making was ended, which was at the close of the afternoon, a procession was formed and marched into

town, each party striving to have the largest numbers in their ranks. White muslin banners with appropriate mottoes were carried in procession. The Na- tional flag was almost unknown in the interior, and was seldom seen, except being occasionally used by a recruiting offieer when enlisting men for the

army or navy. The flag used by volunteer soldiers was of blue silk, with the coat of arms of the State there- on. The first general introduction of the Stars and Stripes among the people was in 1861, at the breaking out of the Rebellion, when every house in the city had a flag suspended from its front, most of which at first being home made from cheap muslin. The disproportion of these in shape and size plainly showed that the people had seldom seen the real Stars and Stripes, some being made with the blue field on the wrong side, and others with it entirely too large, while some had it too small. The reason that the people were so little acquainted with the National flag was owing to the fact that bunting was not to be had, most of the flags prior thereto being made for the use of the Government, and hence not in reach of the people.

NOTES AND QUERIES.

Relating to the History of Dauphin County.

XV.

CAPT. ANDREW LEE .- Although Capt. Lee did not remove to Wyoming until the commencement of the present century, we find that not only he but his son Washington became possessed of land there long before, as the following show :

Deed of John Paul Schott, to Andrew Lee of Hanover township, Dauphin co., December 7, 1789, land in Newport, Lu- zerne county, being three lots, numbers five and six, first district, and number forty-nine, second district, in all 226 acres, bounded by lands of Prince and Major Fitch Alden, and Caleb Howard.

Deed of Walter Spencer and Saralı his wife to Andrew Lee of Hanover, Dau- phin co., Penn'a, March 10, 1790, for land in Hanover, Luzerne county.

Decd of John Camer and Rachel his wife, of Livingston Manor, N. Y., to Washington Lee of Dauphin county, Dec. 25, 1789, for land in Hanover, Lu- zerne county, being lot number one in said township.

Deed of Nathaniel Chapman and Han- nah his wife to Andrew Lec, June 7, 1790, for land in Newport, Luzerne county.

LAST DUEL IN HARRISBURG .- The Oracle of Dauphin of July 27, 1801, says, "On the morning of last Saturday a duel was fought in the vicinity of this borough between a Mr. Buchanan and a Mr. Gra- ham, gentlemen of the law, but the pis- tol of the former missed fire, that of the latter went off. No lives lost or blood drawn in the action ! A correspondent remarks that this seems the more unfor- tunate, as Gamblers are a set of beings

the world could well spare, and we are informed the quarrel originated at the gaming table."" [The parties engaged in this ridiculous affair were Andrew Bu- chanan and Thomas Graham, who were admitted to the Dauphin county bar in June, 1801. That was probably their last appearance here. What became of them we know not. ]

HILL CHURCH. - About two miles south of Hummelstown is Hill church of the Evangelical Lutheran congregation- perchance the oldest church of that de. nomination in the county. The original old log church was taken down in 1875, and a stone structure erected. On the front of the new building is a stone with this inscription :

HILL CHURCH of the Ev. Lutheran congregation Built A. D. 1755. Rebuilt A. D. 1876.

The records of that old congregation if preserved would be of historie value. Are they in existenee ?

Opposite, or rather in front of the church, is the old grave-yard. The graves were covered with mountain pink in bloom when we visited it several sum- mers ago. There were few head-stones to the many graves. We copied the dates of several of the oldest.

Max Speidel, born 1710; died 1789.

Margaretta Speidel, born 1708 ; died 1781.

Peter Books, born May 7, 1730 ; died April 17, 1796.

Anna Margaretta Books, born July 21, 1727 ; died May 23, 1807.

The Speidels were among the first Ger- man settlers in the county. What is known eoneerning them ? Are there any of the descendants in the county ?
