HARRISON. Gut Nonngermrmn. Thatlhe village of Richmond Hill enjoys a climate conducive to general good health, that it. has its proper share (If 07.0w: so that malaria is not one of its animal products, and that its elevated position and wide spread airy surroundings are congenial ml longevity of life, is apparent from the number of octageuariaus within its limits. But far exceeding iu years tbcsouucicut citizens, our “oldest in- habitant” resides in one of our largest. brick edifices, the senior partner in our South End Laundry \Vorks. Susannah Augusta Stokes was born in the, County of Lancaster, l’euusylâ€" vauia, United States. The. pl'(‘S(‘l]L century was then but four years old, so that on the, 1st of March last our neighbor saw her ninety-sixth birth- day. Susannah Augusta is a. colored Wo- man, but free bm-u. Pennsylvania with commendable pride has from its early history boasted that she has raised all her own colored population, that she has neither bought um- sold. Colored children, whose parents had died, 01- were unable to care for them, were cared for and raised by the State either in Homes or in the families of her citizensâ€"girls until the age of 18 yeais, and buys until the age of21 years, when they were expected to take care of themselves. Susanna-h Augusta wasoue of these. Her parâ€" ents died when she was but a. child. \Vitb two others she was placed under the. guardianship of a Mr. llarpeu, a. land owner of several hundred acres. mother, taught. Susannah to read, sew and knit, with good instructions in household duties. The Haran family consisted of parents and three. children, besides the adopted ones, but all were treated alike, and all hmde back in after years to the old farm as their own familiar home. At the age (if 18 years Susannah gained her independence. Her excelâ€" lent training in household affairs eu- ablrd her to Gain her own living, which she did. Although free born and in the midst of a people steruly opposed from prinâ€" ciple to slavery in all its aspects, there has always among the colored people a fear of danger on account of the cou- of slavery. Mason’s and Dixon’s liuc, known as the boundary line between the free and slavery States of the Union, was the Sullillel‘n boundary line of the State of Pennsylvania. Kidnappers plied their nefarious work in all the border towns, To seize the colored folks, run them across the line State, was a paying enterprise. This was frequently done, the perpetrators becoming more and more aggressive in their inhuman exploits. Our neighbor tells of an incident that came under her own knowledge. A colored ,girl of 16 years went to the well a short distance from the house for water. She was heard to scream, and disappeared from sight. She was hurried by her captors across the line. Her master went in pursuit, overtook and arrested the parties, fought the matter out in the courts, proved that the girl was free born, and returned with her to his home. Soon after Susannah Augusta be.- came a. married woman. a. rumor reached the village where she resided that a band of kidnappers were. pre- paring to make a raid on the place and capture every colored man and woman within reach. \Vord was sent to the city for a strong force of police. “'hite and colored alike armed them- selvcd for a determined resistance The rumor proved a reality. The raid was made at midnight. A fight en- sued, in which life was lost on both sides. A white man and a. colored woman were killed on the side of the defenders. The raiders were defeated, This greatly increased the uneasiness and awakened alarm among the colorâ€" ed people. Hearing that in Canada longer be in dread of being sent south, many came over and settled in our; country, among them being Mrs. Maxâ€" ' well and her family. During the more than half a century , Mrs. Maxwell has been aresideut of' trouble. b‘be has lost her husband, ‘4 and out of five children she has lost} four. A year ago last May her‘ daughter Mary died. Miss Mary was ‘ a happy tempered, good natured laughing girl, liked by all who knew 1 her, and at. her death her coffin was , (:( rel-ed with floral tributes. Miss 3 nry‘s celebritv was somewhat of a ' local character: but like many whose) names appear on the historic roll ,' whose fame was far more world-wide than her’s, ilt‘l' obsequies were underâ€" | taken by the. State. The reeve. KSSlStâ€" : ed by members of the council and the village municipal guardian, conveyed htr remains to the cemetery, the casket followed by a long procession of our most prominent citizens. ,rose. and sung fly." All expenses connected with the inâ€" terment were defrayed by a generous public. The family have always been We“ respected. Iuduslrious and careful they have always provided for them- selves. except when sickness iutmvcu- ed. thou the neighbors were always ieady to assist. As a. harmless family they have always had neighborly sym- pathy and civic protection. If from any (If the juvenile depravity of the Village they have suffered annoyance, it has been immediately suppressed by the reigning authorities. Mrs. MaxwL-ll's only remaining daughter Tilly has left an excellent. situation in Toronto, where she is highly esteemed, to maintain and care fol'her ang mother. The old lady at ninety-live. years of age is still bale and hearty. Her memory is excellent, and her conversation on early rccol~ lectinns lively and interesting. Mrs. Maxwell hopes to reach a. cent- ury of years. Judging from her pres- ent. pi'osprwis of longevity there. is every probability of our nouageu- ariau‘s anticipatious being realizedâ€" if her life should be spared. (Tu 1:15 CONTINUED.) -7 *4. Thornhfll. On Monday evening, June 25. the brethren nf Patterson Lodge, No. 265, A. F. A: A. M., and their lady friends spent a most enjoyable time.

He congratulated the retiring Master and brethren on the. high standing of the Lodge, and bespoke Success for it in the. future. In a few well chosen remarks XV. Bro. Fisher thanked the officers and members for their un- expected kindness, aud said he would be ready and willing at all timesto assist in the work of Patterson Lodge. Then \V. Bio. Francis surprised \V. Bro. R. Thompson by presenting him _ with a. Past Master‘s Jewel as an indi- cation of the valuable services he had rendered his mother lodge for several years, being always a true and faith- ful brother. \V. Bro. Thompson heartily thanked the brethren, and stated that he had only eudeavured to do his duty as a. man and a. Mason. The lodge then closed in harmony, the brethren conducting the ladies through their lodge room. They all retired to the banquet hall, where an excellent spread had been provided. \Vhen the inner man had been fully satisfied, the company was called to order by \V. Bro. J. Dim-y, and was entertained by the following program of toasts and songs : “The Queen and the Craft ”; all God Save, the Queen. “"he Grand Lodge of Canada," Rt. \V.
