Established 1831. No. 233 juast JOHII HARRIS TREE BEVFABD OF A KIND ACT How an Indian Appreciated Shelter on a Rainy Night. Dr. Robert Harris Awl.

the oldest medical practitioner ia Bunbury, contributes the following interesting artiCie. The table the D3ctor refers to was exhibited in the Pennsylvania building as the Chicago Exposition, and has beea Bent to tha exposition at Atlanta. After its re tsra here it will be placed ia the State Library. Dr. Awl says; "The announcement that the table prepared under tha direction of the ladies of Dauphin county for the womw'a building at the Colombian Exposition contains, among many other interesting relics, pieces from the mulberr? tree whsre John Harris was once bound by the to be burned, reminds me of several historical facta connected therewith.

"John Harris, who was my great great grandfather, was the first white settler oa the banks or the ousquenanna liver wnere Harriaburg now stands, and the father of John Harris the founder of Harriaburg. He kepi a little store and traded with the Indians. One dark and rainy night a large Indian came to hia cabin and bagged for shelter. He was permitted to dry himself by the fire and sleep there, which pleased him very much. In the morning, br wav of exoreesinz his gratitude, as he could speak no English he gave three loud whoops and departed.

Nothing more was thought of the circumstanca at the time. Tne Snawanese. "A few months after this a band of Shawaness (Southern Indians who had been driven north and had been taken under tne protection of the Five Nations and located at Bhawneetown, on the North Bianco, now Plymouth) went down the nver oa a nhing expedition to Conewago Falls. Oa their return they stopped at Harris store and demanded rum. lnis barefaced to Rive them, whan they bs came enraged, and seizsd him, tied him to a mulberry tree ana maae preparation 10 burn him.

Taey would have earned out their threat had not Hercules, a negro slave of jumped in a canoe and paddling to tho other aide of the river, gave the alarm to the chief of a friendly band of Indians encamped there. Thsy hurried across tho river, drove the Shaw anese away and rescued Harris. Their leader or chief, it turned gut, was the Indian whom Harris had given shelter by his fireside that rainy night a few months before. A painting is in existence representing Harcules as one of the 6talwart flguree In a canoe as th Indians were har rying across tho river, oome 01 my urotu ers or sisters, or their descendants, have tha picture repressing the attempt to bam John Harris, and a number of them have had piiated in it which was not in the original. I have one in my office in which an Indian in one sf the ca noas has been metamorphosed into a negro.

first Emancipated Slave. "Thi3 act of Hercules in saving the life of his master so pleased him (Harris) thai he at occs manifcated his gratitude by giving him his freedom, and it i believed that Uerculs was the first slave emancipated on the American Ointment. Harris, when he died in 1748, was buried at the foot of this historic tree, and although scarcely a veeiiga of the trunk now remains, the grave of the pioneer may stiil be seen. His faithful negro, Hercules, was also buried sear him. This information cams from the follow ing persons, who are now all deceased Airs.

Barab Irvln. Lawistown, the last survivor of the Maclay family; Samuel Awl. born near March 6th. 1773. who married alary Maclay, tho granddaughter of John Harris, the founder, and William Awl, M.

tho eldest son of tho last named, who was born in Harrisburg, May 24th, 1790. "And I may add that I now have my possesion a small pieco of the trunk of this famous tree, which was brought here by my pirents when they came to Bun bury about tha beginning of the present century. It has bren. therefore, ninety two cr more years in the possession of our family. I was bora Dacsmber 27sh, 1319, near Bunbury, and am sow last entering on my seventy seventh year.

Indian History. "It h3s been assorted by soma writers that the Shawaneae Indians wore not here In 1720, whan tho attempt to barn John Harris was made, and that it was some other tribe. But there is very conclusive evidence on record that they were here. On 228, Pennsylvania Archives, 1CC1 to 1747, appears a letter from Governor Patrick Gordon, in the form of instructions to Smith and Petty, under date of 1728, who were about to visit Bbamokin, on the upper Bcuqaehauna, in wbich occurs this passage: 'Tell Bhakallamy particularly, that as he is set over tha Bhawa neee Indians, I hope he can give a good account of them they camo to ua only as strangers about thirty years ago; they desired lcavs of this Government to settle among ua as strangers, and the Conestoga Indians became security for their good bshavlcr. Thry are also uader tha protection of the Five Nations who have set Shakallamy over them.

This shows that the Bhtwant sa wero here at least as early as 1G93, or ovar twenty years before the attempt to burn John Harris. It ia veTy likely that he was rescued by a band of Oonestogas, as it appears they had be come responsible for their good behavior. 'Ths original Five Nations were called the Ircquois by the French, who found them "way back in the micty past" on the banks of the St. Lawrence River, in Canada, where Montreal is now located The Mohawks were supposed to have been the oHect triba. Thsy settled ia eaalera New York upon tho binks of the Mohawk River.

Too next in order were tho who lived at the celebrated Ooeida stono, or mass of rocks on tho summit of a hill noar tho town of Stock bridge. The Oaondagas lived between the ieida and tho Cayuga Lakes. Noar to each other upon the beautiful lakes, which still iar their names, were sett led the Caynga and tho Seneca. The labt tribe which formed the Six Nations were tho Tuscaroriw, who cams Irom the south. Tlio father or Logan.

"The Tuscaroras, it ia Baid, were a branch of the original stock, the Iroquois Shackallamy (now written Bhikillimy), was the fatner of Ligan, the celebrated Indian orator and Mingo chieftain, and governing chief or vice king, stationed at Shamokin, now Bunbury, by tho Fivo Nations to govern the Bhawanese and other subjugated tribes. He was a great and good Indian, having been baptized in Canada by a Catholic priest at an early date. He was afterward converted by the Moravian missionaries at Bunbury, and accepting their creed and faith died a Christian, rr lvis, and was buried in a wooden coffin in the Indian graveyard on the banks of the Suque hanna, near where Fort Augusta wn af terward built.
