This is a photographic reproduction of the famous painting of Prof. E. Schuessele, in the possession of the Moravian Church, at Bethlehem. The photography was by Julius Sachse, and the half-tone work is a masterpiece by Gatchell and Manning. It was to engrave this celebrated painting that John Sartain did his best work.

Among the plates selected and prepared by the late John F. Meginnes to illustrate his books on the West Branch history, were several which have been generously placed at our service by Mrs. Meginnes. They are as follows:

SHIKELLIMY.

A STOCKADE FORT TO PROTECT SETTLERS FROM INDIANS.
THE WEAPONS OF A FRONTIER SCOUT.

These were the property of Robert Covenhoven.

316. SETTLER'S HOME IN MUNCY, IN 1770.

256. THE SKETCH MAP OF THE WEST BRANCH is the result of close study and careful work by Joseph H. McMinn. It is invaluable in explaining the early history of this famous valley.

324. The picture, BESIDE THE BABBLING BROOK, was specially prepared for the "Ladies' Home Journal" as an illustration of rare merit. It is exactly like Antes Creek. We are indebted to the Curtis Publishing Company for its use.

324. THE OLD GRIST MILL was placed in our hands by Gatchell and Manning. The bluff above the mill is precisely like the bluff above the Antes mill, on which the Stockade Fort was erected.

From the American Baptist Publication Society we were privileged to obtain the following excellent pictures:

GRANDMOTHER'S SPINNING WHEEL.

SAVAGE WOLVES AT THE CABIN DOOR.

THE SETTLER'S LONELY HOME.

Professor J. M. M. Gernard, of Muncy, the editor of "Now and Then," has enabled us to use the plates of PorTERY AND INDIAN PIPES, specially made to represent specimens which he found, and now has in his extensive collection of Indian relics.

Professor D. B. Brunner, A. M., of Reading, ex-Congressman of Berks county, Pa., has skillfully made cuts of many of the choice Indian relics which he has picked up in the fields about Reading.

He has given us the use of some of these of AXES, SPEARS,
KNIVES AND ARROW POINTS, which, for accuracy, are unsurpassed.

The series of pictures of the five Leading Educational Institutions, in the Susquehanna Valleys, are given to show the marvelous advancement of civilization and prosperity attained when hardships once were so bravely endured.
