We are desirous of preparing a sketch of that great Indian warrior and orator, Teedy- uscung, and any other information to the foregoing, may throw a different light upon the matter under consideration.

FIRE IN 1796 .- On the 22d of March about one o'clock in the morning a new briek double house belonging to Messrs. Kutz and Seidle was almost entirely con- sumed by fire. £150 were subscribed by a few gentlemen in the course of two hours. Where was the location of this house ?

JESSE LAYS .- The Oracle of Dauphin for December 14, 1795, says: "The cele- brated Jesse Lays, whose improvement in the making of brick surpasses almost credibility, has become a resident in this town." What is known of this inventor?

AMATEUR THEATRICALS IN 1796- From the Oracle of Dauphin, of the dates given we glean the following:

Monday, Sept. 12 .- "The Harrisburg company of comedians, we hear, intend giving the public a specimen of their abilities some evening during the present week. Attendance and reasonable credit will be given."

Monday, Sept. 19 .- "A number of young gentlemen of this town, on the evenings of Thursday and Friday last performed the celebrated comedy of 'The Prisoner at Large, ' to a very numerous audience. Considering the many incon- veniences which these young men have surmounted in order to give a few hours amusement to this little social village, great credit is due them for their perse- verance and their politeness. It is in- tended, we hear, by several young peo- ple of this town to encourage this inno- cent amusement by taking parts from time to time in those plays which

are no way tinctured with ob- scenity and vice. A very laudable inten- tion-far more improving than the foolish rant of tea-table chit-chat, or the pleas- ures of a card-table."

ANTI-MASONIC DAYS .- An old resi- dent gives us the following incident which transpired in this town. It was in the days of the Morgan excitement, when a

noted anti-masonic lecturer was giving a public exhibition of the pretended Ma- sonic secrets. After concluding his ex- posure of the frightful transactions within the Masonic lodge rooms, an opportunity was given for any one in the audience to ask questions; whereupon John M. Eber- man a member of Perseverance lodge, No. 21, rose from his seat, and inquired of the speaker, "Did I understand you to say that you had passed through the ceremonies of the Masonie lodge, and taken the obligations as you have ex- hibited them here to-night?" "Yes, sir," replied the leeturer with great confidence. "Then," said Mr. Eberman, will you be kind enough to tell those here assembled whether you told a falsehood then, or have told one here to-night ?" That was too much, and amid more or less confu- sion the meeting dissolved. The late Theo. Fenn, Esq., a rabid anti-mason in his day, stated that no person was ever so discomfitted as the lecturer of that. night. X. Y. Z.

OLDEN TIMES IN HARRISBURG.

Oyster and Eating Houses, fifty years ago, were but few, and not much patron- ized, Oysters, however, were brought

from Baltimore during the winter months in the large Conestoga wagons, and sold on the streets at fifty cents per bushel, and as people had to open them at their homes, few were purchased by private familics.

The principal luxuries used in the sum- mer months were home-made beer and cakes, and mead and cakes, which werc kept for sale at many places. The most fashionable and frequently resorted place for mnead and cakes was at Mrs. Mary Shaffner's, on the corner of Mul- berry street and River alley, who had quite a reputation for making the finest eakes and mead in the town, Mead was made from honey and was of a light color. Mrs. Shaffner kept her cakes in one of those high cases of walnut drawers with brass handles. As little ice was put up, beer and mead were kept cool in pails of cold pump water, Mrs. S. died thirty years ago, leaving three daughters and one son. The latter, John Shaffner, learned combmaking in Lan caster, and by his industry and frugality was prosperous in his business. He went to Philadelphia, and engaged in the whole- sale notion and comb business with Charles Ziegler of Reading, where they accumulated wealth after some years of successful business, and where Mr. Shaff- ner died.

Markets and Marketing .- The first market houses were small, and have had three additions added to them to suit the growth of the place. The Scotch- Irish who were the first settlers in Dauphin and Cumberland counties, were good farmers, but would not bring their produce to market, and do not at this day. They brought their well-made and well-worked butter to families who engaged it, or sold it to the neighboring stores. No such butter is brought to market at this time. The Germans who have succeeded the Scotch-Irish have always brought their produce to market. Vegetables were in- different, as no new varieties were intro- duced, All berries were wild and nat- ural-as were also the grapes, no im- proved or fine native grapes being dis- covered. Apples were good, and some very fine, the principal varieties of which were Rambos, Vandeveers, Pennocks, Hoops, or Blackjacks, &c.

Historical and Genealogical.

The vegetables were greatly improved by the advent of several families from New Jersey, namely the Van Horns, Secvers, Tate and Brown, who brought seeds and peach trees with them. These made a great change in vegetables and fruits. The first professional gardener in town was James Woodman, an English- man with French politeness and appear- ance. His first garden was on South Second street opposite Vine street, owned by the late Robert Harris; his next garden was on the corner of Front and Pine streets, now occupied by Henry M'Cormiel and others. He carried his nice vegetables and berries around on a wheel barrow. Mr. Woodman was much respected and was patronized by the best eitizens.

The First Milk Wagons .- Milk was furnished by families who kept cows from the first settlement of the borough, until about 1837 or '38. Mir. Philip Wolfersberger a prominent and highly esteemed storekeeper, and who owned Bellevue farm, conceived the idea of a dairy and supplied the citizens daily with mitk from wagons, which proved a suc- eess, when others engaged in it. Among thien was the late Gen'l. John Forster, who started an extensive dairy on his land on what is now Ridge avenue near the old reservoir. The late Doctor Luther Reily also had one on his back farm, con- dueted by the late Philip Stimmel, who was quite popular, and always a good joker.

The first Philadelphia fish and vegetas bles .- The first fish and early vegetable were brought to Harrisburg by Curry Taylor, a much respected colored man, who originally came from Columbia. Curry was a fine baker of bread and cakes, and a good cook. He procured a four-wheeled car and brought the first black sea bass and halibut with early vegetables on Tuesday and Friday after- noons, locating himself at the lower end of the lower market house, and soon got many purchasers for his articles. This was in May, 1839. Note .- Shad fish and oysters were brought in wagons from York, the then terminus of the railroad previous; but not the fish Curry Taylor introduced.

Prices of Marketing .- Previous to the introduction of railroads and the innu- merable watering places and hotels along the railroads, Harrisburg had a stationary population, which was only increased when the Legislature was in session. What was then required for consumption by the citizens became a cheap article. The choicest cuts of meat sold at 64 and 8 cents per pound, and people thought butter was at an extravagant price during the winter when three fips or 183 cents were demanded. During the spring and summer eight and ten cents were the usual price, and at the close of market hours 64 cents was the price, eggs selling at the same. Potatoes and apples sold at 25 cts. per bushel, which were considered full prices.

Vehicles Used .- Elliptic steel springs were unknown, and all conveyances for pleasure, and stage coaches, were hung on leather braces.

Leather brace Bent wood

Bent wood

Perch

Two wheeled heavy gigs were used ex- elusively for two persons, and barouches for three or four. Horseback riding by men and women was much in vogue, even for long journeys. Livery stables only kept two horse carriages, gigs and saddle horses. A. B.
