The County Treasurer is at the City Hotel, Joseph Beazel now lives. Samuel was also a soldier in the war of 1812; exposure in the army caused him to be a cripple in his last days which were passed in the brick house at the Ferry.

John passed most of of hislifeat Dunbar, Fayette County, where he followed milling and farming. He had quite a large family, some of whom have passed away. His heirs still own the farm above the Ferry. One of the daughters of Henry Speer married George Hill of Ten- Mile; another was the wife of Wm. Ward deceased.

Katy married John McCrory, brother of the late Thomas, Seneca, James, and William McCrory of Fayette City, Pa. Apollas, the remaining son, was born Sept. 8, 1801. After his marriage he lived for time at "Fish Pot" on Tea Mile; with this exception he lived at the Ferry until his death which occurred in 1837. His wife was Elizabeth Cooper, daughter of the late Valentine Cooper.

Her grandfather, Fred erick Cooper, emigrated from Germany in early days, and after the death of his i nrsc wue, ne settled at tne mouth of Maple Creek, where by tomahawk right be took possession of the farm now owned by the heirs of A. P. Frye, and Robert McKain. On this farm he reared a shanty in which he stored the famous big chest containing all his personal estate. This chest was considered in those days as burglar proof.

Notwithstanding the Fort on the opposite side of the river, where the Gibsonton Distillery now stands, the depredations of the Indians became so frequent that the new emigrant concluded to return for a time to the East where bad left his son John, and daughters Polly and Betsy. During this stay in the East he married as his second wife Elizabeth Kyle and in a short time returned with his new wife and three children to his farm on the Monongnhela, where he resided to the day of his death; his re mains were interred in the family burial ground situated in front of the present dwelling house occupied by B. L. Parsons, nis son John by his first wife was the fath er of Mrs. John J.

WASHINGTON COUNTY BEATS THE UNION ON A WOOL CLIP. Last year we published the clip of Rob ert VanVoorhis's American Merino Hock, and called attention to its high weight and average. The item was copied in the agri cultural journals of this country, in the English Wool Grower, and the Australian Zehren Tokko. Most of these journals pro pounced it, without exception, the largest known average: some of them rlnnliinri truthfulness We now give the Sorinn clin 1880. and in the full ennfid tw n- cannot be, we challenge the world to beat it.

52, ISlbs. Fifty head of yearling ewes averaged 17 pounds, many clipping 18 to 19 pounds. All the above clips are less than a year's growth, being cut a little sooner this year than last. The whole flock of 250 head will average up to last year's clip, and perhaps shade it a little. These fleeces are at the Keystone Sheep Farm fur inspection and weight by any who desire to verify the count; the above record is attested by the shearers, and is true to the ounce.

When it is considered that the average clips for the State is 3 pounds, for this county about i pounds, then the extraor dinary showing of whole bunches that rise from 30 to 33' pounds for bucks, and 19 22 for ewes, the yield becomes one of the wonders of the time, without an equal in American wool growing records, and shows what perfection the intelligent skill of Van Voorhis has arrived. He has been solicited to exhibit this Fall at the National Sheep Show, in Philadelphia, and will possibly go there simply to show the world what Washington county can do when it attempts to raie a bit of wool.

in 1772 and settled on the farm where the Gibsonton Distillery now stands, below Bellevernon. The farm was at that time within the limits of Bedford county, out of which Westmoreland was made Feb. 26, 1773. Richard Penn was Governor at the this settlement was made. He, Henry Speers, lived in the log house which, until a few years ago.

stood near the present stone residence of T. Daly, Esq Superinten dent of the Distillery. The log house, though small at first, was enlarged until it was sixty feet long. Henry Speers died in 73, having lived only about one year after his arrival in Western Penn'a. By his will dated May 14, 1773, he conveyed this farm to bis son Noah Speers, who by his will, bearing date June 2, 1832.

conveyed it to his son Noah W. Speers. Henry Speers, the older, had four sous, Jacob, Solomon, Henry and Noah. Jacob immigrated in early days to Kentucky, where he was a successful business man for many years, and from whom the Kentusky Speers had their origin. Solomon was killed by the Indians on Salt River, in Kentucky, where he had gone to engage in trading and trapping.

Noah lived anddiedon the old homestead, now known as the Gibsonton farm. He also owned the farm on which his son Lewis M. recently resided, the patent for which was granted John Cockey Owings, dated May 17, 1791, and deeded to Noah Speers March 1, 1798, by Wm. Kelley, attorney in fact for Owings, who bad removed to Ken tucky. He laid out the town of Bellever non in 1814.

The first sale of lots took place on the 18th day of April, 1814. He died Juno 9, 1832, from a kick of a horse His wife, who was a daughter of Abraham Frye, of whom we have written, died May 12, 1845. The remains of botli were buried on the old farm, where an old fash ioned stone marks their place of rest. He left a large family to inherit his estate. Jacob married a daughter of the late Major John Power, of Rostraver Wesmore- land and resided for many years on the farm now owned by the heirs of John ston E.

Steel, below Gibsonton; he removed to Illinois in 1846, where he and his wife and a large family still live. Solomon, fter living for nearly half century in the brick house at the Ferry in Bellevernon removed West in 1857, where he died in 1860. Noah W. was proprietor of the Acad emy which he started on the Gibsonton farm given him by his father, in the Spring of 1842. The late Hon.

T. R. Hazzard was Principal of the School, and was one of the most succesf ul teachers in Western rpiin'a Of him we hope to have more to sav. At this institution as students were G. Mcllvaine, now a member of the Supreme Court of Ohio, and candidate for election for the third term; the late Hon.

D. M. Letherman, Dr. J. H.

Storer of West Va. Dr. C. Cooper, of N. G.

Blaine, brother of the distinguished Senator of Maine, and others of mote or less note. In 1846 Noah W. Speer closed the Academy and removed to Cincinnati. He has lived for many years in Memphis, Tennessee, where his wife died from yellow fever during the late epidemic of that disease. She was a daughter of Wm.

Everhart, who so long carried on the glass works in Belle vernon. Lewis another sou of Noah Speers, is well known in the valley. He married Jane Finley, daughter of the late Win Finley, and grand-daughter of the distin guisned Rev. Dr. James Finley.

She died in 1857. To L. M. Speer more than any one man can be attributed the present pros perous condition of Bellevernon. The his tory of the town is his history, and his as sociations with its interests will long be cherished by those who are now reaping the fruits of his labor.

His son, William married Mary, daughter of the late James Power. At the beginmg of the late war he raised a company of cavalry, went into the service as 2nd Lieutenant, served during the most of the time as Captain, and the close of the war was honored for meritorious services with the Brevet rank of Major of cavalry. He carried on the boat building in Bellevernon for many years, and is now connected witli the Pittsburgh Boat Building Company of Sewickly, on the Ohio river. Noah Q. married a daughter of the late Aaron Bugher, who many years ago represented Fayette county the Legislature.

Noah is largely engag in the white rock sand trade on the Youghiogheny River, where at Layton he has a very extensive sand crusher and washer. He has also recently started on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, near Hancock, West very extensive works, from which is transported East and West thousands of tons of sand almost pure silex, James R. another son, married a lady Pittsburgh, and now resides in Chicago. Leivis Edgar is in business with his brother Noah Q. in the city office of the White Rock Sand Company.

One of his daughters, Mary, married Rev. T. S. Park, now in charge of a Presbyterian congregation near Cadiz Junction, Ohio. Celia Gillette mar ried liev.

R. B. Porter, of Rochester, Pa and Margarette Jerush married Solomon Speers, son of the late Solomon Speers, and now resides in Baltimore, Md. The present wife of L. M.

Speer was Miss Fannie Stew art, daughter of the late David Stewart, of Huntingdon county, and a member of the well known firm of Lyons, Shorb Co. children by this wife are David Calhoun, and I. S. all of whom are now living with their parents on a beautiful country seat' near Wooster, Ohio, and we believe the boys are all students in the Wooster University. Lewis M.

Speer had several sisters, Clarissa married Andrew Ford, of Fayette County, She died about one year ago. Lucinda married Wm. Mills, of whom we have written; one married the late Samuel Walker, of Elizabeth; another the late Robert McFarland, of Lower St. Clair township, Allegheny county. Louis M.

had a brother Abram, who studied medicine, but died in early life. The older Henry Speer, had a son nenry, who was born July 8th, 1756; was sixteen years old when his parents located near the present town of Bellevernon. He was married to Rebecca Frye, September 24, 1777. was a daughter of Abraham Frye, Sr. whom we have written.

Henry and his wife were the parents of thirteen children, only a few of whom we can trace. Henry Speer resided all bis married life on the farm called "Speers Intent," opposite Bellevernon, being the same on which his son Apollas lived eo long time after the death of father, and which is nowownedby Noah Solomon, sons of Apollos. The patent this farm was granted to Henry Speer the 12th day of January 1789, on a survey entered by John Reef, May 23, 1769, conveyed to nenry Speer by deed dated September 14, 1784. ne was long a member of the Baptist Church, and, was licensed to preach by the Church of Enon, 5, 1793, and ordained by Rev. John Corbley on the last Saturdav of March, 1797, continued as Pastor of Enon Church the day of his death in 1840.

He was chieffy instrumental in building up the congregation of Enon, the membersof which worshipped first in the old log church, but recently in the brick house still standing on the hill near the Ferry, opposite Belleveinon, and now owned by Solomon Speer. The old log church building is to have been erected prior to the old noise Shoe Meeting House of which we said so much. The brick dwelling owned and occupied by his grand son Noah Speers, was built by him In 1806. His son Henry was a soldier in the war of 1812; was the battle of New Orleans with General Jackson; lived for many years in the log where Jacob Norris now resides, died many vears ago in the old of for but to to Mr. Mr.

The farmers to whom they had been scld, assembled with teams on arrival of train, loaded up their harvest ers, and headed by a brass band this unique procession wound its way through the streets. At the St. Charles Hotel a dinner was provided at the expense of the firm. After dinner, with flags and drums, the route was again taken up, and the farmers finally drove home with their new machines, pleased with the program and the enterprise and liberality of the firm which got up the parade.

BABE MONTGOMERY William or as he was usually called, ISabe Montgomery, son of the late Hon.

Win. Montgomery, died in Pittsburg last week. On Wednesday morning he went into the White House, on Fifth Avenue, and called for a glass of seltzer, stating that he had been drinking and wished to sober up. He remained in the saloon for several hours, when he complained of feeling sick, and went up to the second story and In id down on the floor. Shortly before two o'clock one of the proprietors became alarmed as to Montgomery's condition, and sent for an office? who took the man to the Central Station, where he died in twenty minutes.

Or. Gallagher pronounced his ailment to be one of the brain and the spine, probably produced by excessive drinking.

Julius LeMoyne is given as the Abolition Vice residential candidate with Bimey in 1844. This in error: The Abolition or Liberty party had Presidential candidates, but twice Bimey and Earle ill 1840; Bimey and (Mc- Farlane) in 1844. We cannot discover ex actly who was V. P. in '44, but it could not have been LeMoyne, for in October, 1844, he received 1806 votes for Governor, and it is not piobable that he ran for Vice President one month later.

In 1S48 the Liberty party abandoned its organization, and the candidates were from the Democratic, Whig and Free Soil parties; in 1856 from the Democratic, Republican and American; then the Constitutional Union was added, and since then only Democratic and Republican, with scattered Prohibition and Greenback movements. The Washington Examiner gives the Birney and Earle vote in 1S40. LeMoyne may have been recommended for Vice President by the Pennsyl-vani State Abolition convention; he ran for Governor in 1841, '44, '47. SIX MILE FERRY. From onr Special Correspondent.

Since the coal run closed there is but little doing, except what is being done at th Marine saw mill and boat yard. Work has been going steadily on at the mills since last Spring.
