The exact loss of the enemy could not be ascertained, but it must have been considerable, as evidences were found of their having carried off a number of their killed and wounded. The Indians were under command of Joseph Brant. General Sullivan reported his loss as three killed and thirty-nine wounded.

Upon leaving Wyoming Valley General Sullivan had 214 boats under the com. mand of Colonel Proctor, which were propelled against the stream by soldiers, who used setting poles for the purpose. in addition to tnese boats there were 1,400 pack horses bearing the supplies and provisions, which moved along the narrow pathway on the east bank of the river in single file, forming a line several miles long.

The first day's march brought the army, at 4 o'clock, to the mouth of the Lackawanna river, on the plains now known as Coxton, on the Lehigh Valley railroad. Here they wero compelled to wait until at temoou of the day following tor ine ooats wmch nod been delayed by the difficult navigation. That evening they camped at Qiillutimuck, now called Ransom. They remained in camp at this place the following day. On August 3rd, the troops marched across the mountain passing Buttermilk Falls, arid about noon descended to the river and marched to Tunkhaunock Creek, encamping about one mile up the stream.

On the 4th the army marched 14 miles; crossed the Meshoppen creek and encamp ed at anderllps, now known as Black Walnut. The boats were again delayed and the army did not move until 9 o'clock on the morning of tho 5th. Part of tho troops marched over the mountain, th) others proceeded on the bank of the river. The next encampment was the same night at Wyalusing, on the flats, now known as Sugar Run Siding, on the Lehigh Valley railroad. They remained here until the 8th, being delayed by the boats and a heavy which set in on the night of the lh.

Their next encampment was at Wygox, which was reached on the night of tho 8th. They were unable to pass through a deep swnmp, which Is now known as the Ploilct farm, and is one of the most productive farms iu northern Pennsylvania. The troops proceeded around the swamp and encamped on the side hill until the following day, when they took up their mnreh over tho high precipice, opposite the Lehigh Valley railroad station at Towanda, which they termed Break Neck Hill." The path over which they marched was very narrow and the precipice is several hundred feet high. Thev lost a number of their horses and cattle which fell over tho hillside. Tho next encampment wa3 at Shoshoquln, about one inllo north of ister, on tho east side of the river the settlement still it-tains the original name.

A heavy rain on the 10th kept the army In camp. On the following day, August I llh, the army forded the river near the former town of Queen Ksther, which was located on. the Hals near tho present village of Milan, but was destroyed by-Col. Thos. Hartley In 1778.

Tho samo evening the troops reached the Junction of the Susfpiehunua and Tioga rivers, which was krrown as Tioga Point: now kuown as Alliens, Pa. While awaiting his supplies In Wyoming Valley, General Sullivan directed General Clinton to remain witli his forces at Otsego Lake, lie head waters of the Susquehanna river. During this time tht- dry season was fust advancing and tho water In the river was getting low. In order-to float his boats down tin; river General Clinton conceived the idea of building a large dam across tho river and hold hack the water until ho was ready to embark, when the dam was removed, anil the boats were sent down the river on an artificial flood. Tho damming' of tlie river proved a wise measure, since It not only lessened the difficulties of navigation but spread terror among tho Indians.

The swollen stream overflowed Us banks aud the florid destroyed their growing crops. They could not account for the sudden Hood In a dry season ami believed that the Great Spirit had caused It to show that, lie wus angry with them. On August 22nd General Clinton arrived at Tioga Point. hile awaiting the arrival of General Clinton. General Sullivan hail four strong block houses erected which were called Fort Sullivan, (ou the site of the old fori, during tlie picsent year, a hantlHome building has been eroded by Jesse Spaultl-ing of Chicago, a former resident of Athens.

In memory of his son, and the building has been presented to the Tioga Point Historical Society.) From tho Delaware river to Tioga Point General Sullivan met with no opposing forces. Gen. Washington's Instructions to him were to keep the object of his expedition as secret ns possible. To this the General replied "The expedition Is no secret in this quarter. A sergeant of Spencers, who was made a prisoner at Mohacamoe and carried to Chemung has just returned.

He sal. 1 they (tho enemy) know of the expedition ami arc taking every step to destroy the communications on tho Sus. quehanna." On Aug. 20lh the whole force, now nearly four thousand strong, took up their line of imireh along the Tioga river, leaving a force of about two hundred men at Fori Sullivan, which was Intended for a base of supplies. The army marched only live miles on tho 20th and encamped for (he night.

On the 27tli tho march was much Impeded by the artillery and ammunition wagons, as there were dense forests and dilllcult defiles through which to pass. Ou the night of the 27th Hie army encamped at un old abandoned Indian town three miles below the present village of Chemung. On the 28lli they marched only three miles and en camped at heniuug, where all of the growing crops wore destroyed. A small scouting party reported In tho evening that a largo force of the Indians were encamped about four miles above Chemung. A party of troops engaged In burning some houses, were llred upon but received no injury.

Up to this timo tho Indians had offered no determined resistance to Sullivan's progress. From what could be learned from scouts sent out It was evident that tho Indians intended to give battle to the American troops near this place. On the morning of the 29th, Sullivan broke camp ut 9 o'clock. After a march of flvo miles. Major Paw, who was In advance with his rillo corps fortunately discovered tho enemy's breast works when within 80 rods of them.

lie-directed one of his men to climb a tree, where ho could obtain a good view anil he discovered tho painted snvagos behind them. General Stilllvan assumed that the enemy must number fifteen hundred and proposed to give battle at this point, which was located about seven miles soldi! of (Newtown) Eimlra, on what Is now known as Sullivan 11111. The commander at once summoned a council of his general officers, who after thoroughly reconnoltcrlng tho ground, agreed upon the plan of attack. General i Hand, with a small body of troops, wore ordered to atlvunco towards the Indians' 1 breastwork to divert their attention, while tho artillery, supported by General Poor, was to march by a circuitous route and gain the mountain (Sullivan Hill) on tho enemy's left. Maxwell's brigade was ordorod to remain In the rear as a reserve.

General Sullivan ordered tho artillery to open lire while they advanced against the Indians. They wero met by a steady fire from the hillside. After the order had been given for a goneral attack by the Amertoan forces the Indiana were not I was fortunate enough to get an interview recently, not indeed with either of those learned scientists, but with Philip Castle, who takes a deep interest in this discovery. These two gentlemen, I gathered from him, have been for the last three years working together in Berlin in the endeavor to discover tho means of making a non-poisonous match which would strike anywhere. To Mr.

Rosenthal belongs the credit of finding a paste for match heads which is not poisonous, which is reodily ignited on any rough surface, and which gives off no fumes or smell. The use of phosphoi us in the manufacture of matches often givea the factory operatives a horrible disease, decay of the jawbone, sometimes called "phossy jaw." Like many other tremendous discoveries, this ono was made accidentally. I am not at liberty to divulge the nature of the experiments during which Mr. Rosenthal made it. But at all events It was one which proves that hatli her victories no loss renowned than war." The dis covery of the invention having beerr achiev ed, it was.

submitted to the well-known assaylsts, Messrs. Johnson, Matthey Limited, Hatton Garden, who declared that the nratch contained no trace of yellow phosphorus. Mr. Castle told me that already provisional patents had been taken out for the United Kingdom and eleven foreign countries. Considering that the discovery was only made on the first of this month, this is pretty smart work.

"And how do you propose to develop this discovery?" I asked. Well, wo don't propose to develop it ourselves; we are content with taking out the patents. We are thoroughly assured that tho invention Is a sound and practical one, and we expect to be approached by one or the other of the leading match manufacturers that is to say, if they are honest in their intention of adopting a process of manufacture which will do away with tho use of yellow phosphorus, and of that I should siy there can be little doubt." Some time ago. it may be added, the Belgian government offered a prize to the inventor who would produce a match which fulfilled the following conditions: It must not contain phosphorus or other poision it mint not give off poisonous gases In combustion It muststrika everywhere. These conditions Mr.

Rosenthal aud his partner claim to have fulfilled, and, moreover, they cldin their matches can be manufactured as cheaply as the ordinary ones, and I'y the same machinery and staff. Thore is no excuse, therefore, for any manufacturer of "phossy jaw" matches to hesitate in giving this new discovery a trial London Chronicle.

The plan was to have the trains leave there In the morning aud return In the evening.

Tills arrangement would be an improvement over tho present service, but a better lan woui I lie to rnuUe Laeey vilic'lhe lay. over point and hero are (ho reasons: At Wyalusing a hostler would have to bo employed to take care of the engines. At Laceyville the company has an ah man day and night and they could take care of tht? engines easily and the cmipany would be to no extra expeiwc. Wo also have a water tank und a sand house here. Wya-lusing has neither of these.

If you will look at a map of the two counties you will see that a laige number of Bradford county peopl nave to take trams here. If Wyalu-ung was the lay-over point these Miple would not be benefited. Laceyville is located centrally on the division and Upto are other reasons that could be mentioned in favor of making this place a lay-over paint, but we hardly think it necessary to go into more details. Being an old railroad man this editor can produce all kinds of plans, but will mention but one more und we'll guarantee that if.

run to Waverly and re turn at 8 p. m. With such a train service local accommodations on this division would be about perfect and an business would follow. At tho Laceyville and Skinner's Kddy stations tho pas senger receipts for the mouth of October re nearly 4-200 less than for the same month last year. Tho agents say that the poor train set vice was the cause.

The freight business for the same months showed an increase of over $1,000 at the two stations. An increase In shipping should call for an Inereaso In travel but hero wo find a largo decrease and If the same state of affairs exist at other stations the matter ought to appeal to the officials as vigorously as to the patrons.

His youthful days were spent in Tunkhaunock township, whore he received a good education which fitted him for the active business life which ho afterwatd followed. At the age of 21 years he launched out for himself, following the vocation of lumberman, piloting his own raffs to market.

March 28, 1841), ho wus united in marriage to Miss Wealthy Ann Squier at tho home of tho bride In West Nicholson, which union was blessed with two children, one son who died in his youth, and one daughter, Ella, wife of AV. N. Reynolds, of West Tioga street. During his sojourn here ho held several mirror offices, such as school director, member of town council, and in 1857 was elected high Sheriff on the Democratic ticket by a flattering majority over the opposing candidate, Samuel Roberts. At the expiration of his term ho moved up Bowman's creek to Phoenix Corners, where ho lived until 1804, when he moved to West Nicholson where he carried on a successful mercantile business for about eight years.

In 1872-8 he and his son-in- law built the Packer House, near tho V. R. It. depot, which he conducted for several years, at which time the trains slopped there for meals, and from his long experience in the hotel business at Piereeville, Great Bend, Susquehanna county, and Carbondale, he made the bus iness a success.

A large circle of friends tender the bereaved ones their sympathy and mourn with them their Irreparable loss. In 124 the first execution for murder Susquehanna county occurred when a man by the name of Tredwell was convicted for murder in the first degree.

Samuel Gregory was the sheriff at thnt time, and tho execution was public, oc curring on tho green below the present court house site. The father of the senior editor of this paper witnessed the execution. Wo have heard him say that an immense crowd had assembled to wit ness tho execution from all nectlons with- a radius of fifty miles. People were there from Wilkes-Barre. Tunkhaunock, Towanda and oilier places, for it was the first execution In all this section.

It was the policy of the law In those days to have executions public, because it was believed that it would have a deterring effect upon such crimes. Since then the law has made executions private, and the next execution in that county occurred in forty-nine years after tho execution of Treadwell. when a man bv fire name of 'Mura and a hired man In his employ were convicted murdering Mara mother aud sister near the Montrose station of the D. L. W.

R. R. The mother was old and tho sifter was blind. and they were obnoxious to wife, and for this reason, it was supposed, liey wero put out of tho way. After the murder the bodies were placed upon the track of tho L.

W. railroad for the ostensible purpose of covering up tho crime, but their wicked work was traced by the blood of the victims from the house to tho track, which was not very fai away.

It was argued by Piatt and Jorden for the defendants and by Henry Harding for the county. The court hag made the auditors prosecutors In this case, which seems to be a legal absurdity In a case in which Wheelock, Chase and Brown are appellants. Last January the county auditors in the dis charge of their duty in auditing the accounts of the commissioners found that they had misappropriated a large amount of the public funds and accordingly en tered judgment against them in the Prothonotary's office, from which judg ment the commissioners have appealed Why the auditors should bo made prose cutors in this case, in which the com missioners are appellants, ts beyond the comprehension of our best legal lights. Their duties ceased when they completed their auditing labors and found a judgment in favor of the county for the mis appropriation of public funds. After that it was for the commissioners to pay or show cause why they should not but in stead they are made defendants in a case in which they are appellants.

If a change of venue is granted it will entail a large amount of additional costs upon the county, which Is believed to be unnecessary by many of our best citizens. A decision of the court Is reserved until Judge Dunham can consult with Associate Judge East man who is now away from home. ine Jtveeler House, Jabez lieo pro prietor, corner of Tioga and Bridge streets, is the largest and one of the best managed hotels In the northern tier.

The tables are furnished with all that can be desired and the bar with the best the market af fords. The barns are commodious and under the superintendency of efficient help. Mr. Lee as landlord is social and accommodating and merits the large and increasing trade that he enjoys. It is stated on good authority, says the Wilkes-Barre Record, that the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company has decided to double track all the way over the Wilkes- Barre mountain.

This will prevent all such accidents as the one of a few weeks ago, when a train got away and crashed into another coming up the mountain, ro- ulting In the death of six nion. This Is the only portion of the Lehigh Valley be tween Jersey City and Buffalo that is not double tracked and it is only a short distance, but the expense will be heavy. County Treasurer luman has appoint ed Willis S. Miller his attorney. Mr.

He was otherwise well equipped for the duties of the office, aud his selection as attorney for the Treas- rer Is a good one. Lvnn C.

General Sullivan, with his troops, remained at Newton, on the 30th of August, while scouting parties were sent out in the vicinity to destroy tho growing crops.

On the 31st the army- broke up its march and destroyed an inuian village called nanawioballa, near the present site of Elmira. They en camped for the night-about Ave miles from Elmira and General Sullivan order ed a large number of his horses shot which were unable to proceed further. After the army returned from Its expedi tion and the Indians again came Into the valley tbey arranged the heads of the horses killed by Sullivan's troops, along a trail and the place thus acquired its present name of Horsebeads. The next day, Sept. 1st, the army broke camp at o'clock.

After proceeding four miles they found their progress impeded by i swamp nine miles long and almost Im passible. The course of the Indians and Tories, In retreating so far, after the battlo of Newton from a military point of view, was a grave error. Ou the route from Newton to tills point Sullivan had been compelled to pass through several narrow and dangerous defiles, where more handful of the enemy might have hold him at bay and given him consider able annoyance. It was the desire of General Sullivan to press forward as rapidly as possible, and hence he announced his intention of passing through the swamp and reaching Catherlnetown that night (tills place is located near the village of Odessa, on the lino of tho Lehigh Valley railroad.) The main army reached the encampment about midnight, except General Clinton's bri; ado, which remained In the swamp all night. Tho next day tho army remained at Catherin' town awaiting the arrival of General Clinton's troops.

Catherinetown was named for Queen -Esther," after her town was destroyed near Tioga Point, in 1778 by Col. Hartley. On the 3rd of September the army took up their march and passed the head of Seneca Lake (Wntkin's Glen.) Here a detour was made to tho right and the march continu ed on the cast side of the Lake over high but level ground, timbered chiefly with white oak. They passed through the present town of Hector. After marching cloven miles they encamped In the woods.
