Looking at matters from our modern standpoint, we may smile at the mention of some of the articles in the foregoing list. But Bouquet, like all other men, must be judged by his own times, and the customs of the age and country in which he lived. An inventory of the personal eff ects of George Washington and other Revolutionary patriots would not differ materially from the one given above.

The inventory confirms what we know from other data, that Bouquet was a generous-hearted host, a good liver and a man of elegant tastes.

CELEBRATION ITEMS.

Gen. James A. Beaver and his three sons arrived in Greensburg on Saturday evening, and stopped at the Fisher House until Monday morning, when they drove to the Bouquet battle ground, where the General took part in the celebration. He was on his way to Conneaut Lake, where his brigade will go into encampment at the close of the week.

Andrew Byerly, of Sharpsville, Mercer county, a great grandson of Andrew Byerly, of Bushy Run fame, arrived in Greensburg on Saturday, on his way to Bushy Run, and was the guest of Ex-County Treasurer James Gregg.-Prof. Andrew Byerly, of Millersville Normal School, an establishment of seven or eight hundred students, is also a great grandson.

Mrs. Rev. Cyrus Cort, two sons-Paul and Ambrose-and cousin, reached this place at noon on Saturday, from Greencastle, in a carriage drawn by one horse. They came by way of Forts Bedford and Ligonier-the same road taken by Col. Bouquet and his army when on his way to relieve Fort Pitt. They were three days en route, the distance traveled being one hundred and twenty-five miles. They spent one night at Ligonier, the site of the fort by that name, where Andrew Byerly, the great-great-great-grandfather of Mrs. Cort's sons, was cooped up by Pontiac's confederates, after making a narrow escape from Bushy Run, where Byerly kept a relay station for express riders midway between Forts Pitts and Ligonier. Mrs. Cort joined her husband at this place, who arrived here by rail on Thursday morning last, accompanied by his four-year-old son, Ralph Bouquet, to help perfect arrangements for the celebration.

A bayonet used by the Royal Infantry, and found on the Bushy Run battle-field by C. Gongaware in 1881, and presented to Rev. Cyrus Cort, of Greencastle, was on exhibition. It is in a good state of preservation. The blade part is sixteen inches long and bears the appearance of having been a very formidable instrument of war.

OLD BOB, THE WAR HORSE.

The celebrated war horse upon which Col. George Covode was shot and killed, is here. He is owned by W. H. Covode, Esq., of Ligonier. He is now 32 years old, and was through the following engage

ments Gaines Mill, Charles City Cross Roads, Hedgeville, Antietam, Markham Station, Kelly's Ford, Middleburg, Gettysburg, Upperville, Shepherdstown, Trevillian Station, Todd's Tavern, Sulphur Springs, Deep Bottom, St. Mary's Church, Ream's Station, Stony Creek, &c. Col. Covode rode Bob around Richmond twice, during which he was shot in the neck, the only wound the horse received.

That intrepid son of Mars, Colonel Rogers, divided the Indian honors with Guito, the Seneca youth. The valiant Colonel was gotten up as a great brave in a fearful and wonderful costume, with rings, feathers and a great battle-axe as ornaments. To attempt a description of his outfit would be to essay to "paint the lily." It is enough to say that his make-up was purely and typically Rogerian and that he was the observed of all observers.

Captain Samuel Bell, of South Huntingdon township, with a company of 100 uniformed men on horseback.

A delegation of five arrived from Irwin on bicycles.

J. V. Stephenson, Adison Barnhart, Harry Huffman, Eli Beck, Joseph Guffey and B. J. Johnston arrived at 9 o'clock on bicycles.

Several amusing incidents occurred while the surveying party were engaged in marking the battle-field.

John Layton (colored) assisted at the work, and his mind was evidently quite wrought up by hearing details of the fight. He gave vent to his feelings by such exclamations as these: "I tell you what, didn't William Penn and his soldiers have a hard time of it here? What terrible sufferings our ancestors had to go through," &c.

After hearing the story of Kuykyuskung, (pages 40-42 of Bouquet pamphlet), some of the boys concluded to have a little fun and do some marking on their own account. Accordidgly they marked a board as follows, and nailed it to a large oak tree by the roadside, and near the scene of Bouquet's final strategic movement so disastrous to the savages: "Here one bloody injun, Kookyoosti, was kilt." A great crowd surrounded that tree on Celebration Day, and many pieces of its bark were taken away as relics.

The large Swiss national flag with its red field and white cross in the centre, presented a fine appearance, as did also the smaller one with its gilt fringing.

MONUMENT COLLECTIONS.

A number of gentlemen were furnished with subscription lists to get contributions for the monument proposed to be erected to Col. Bouquet and his army on the battle-field. But it seems very little was done for this laudable object, except by some of the citizens of Irwin and Stewartsville and vicinity, who, besides raising $56 to help defray expenses of the celebration, also gave forty dollars ($40) toward the monument fund. This $40 with a goodly part of the $56, were given by descendants of Andrew Byerly, of Bushy Run. If

Greensburg, Penn., Harrison City, Manor, and other places would do as well in proportion, a granite memorial column would soon crown the summit of the battle-field, which would permanently identify the place and perpetuate the memory of the decisive conflict and the gallant heroes through all coming time.

Several hundred dollars more are needed for this monument fund, which we trust the public-spirited citizens of Western Pennsylvania will contribute at an early date. A grand work has already been accomplished by the celebration of August 6, 1883, and the various publications relating to Bouquet which it called forth. But without the monument the projectors and advocates and actors in that commemoration feel that the main object of their endeavors remains to be realized. This fund is in charge of General Coulter, Amos B. Kline and James Gregg, (Treasurer), of Greensburg, to whom contributions may be safely entrusted. Furnish them $300 more, and the monument will be put up, and a grand dedication service will bring to a fitting conclusion the praiseworthy efforts to honor the memory of Henry Bouquet and the 1763 Army of Deliverance. One way of helping the cause is to circulate the pamphlet relating to Bouquet, his campaigns and the celebration of the Bushy Run victory. As the Freiheit's Freund, of Pittsburg, stated in one of its issues, these pamphlets "ought to be put into the hands of every school boy and girl in Pennsylvania. As a limited number of copies have been printed and the work not stereotyped, the time will probably soon come when they will be as rare and expensive as Bouquet's original narrative, a copy of which recently brought upwards of fifty dollars. And yet without them no Pennsylvania library can be considered complete. Their preparation.has been a labor of love on the part of him who has borne the chief burden of toil and expense from a sense of gratitude to the noble Swiss hero who rescued his ancestors from the tomahawk and scalping-knife of the merciless savages. But thousands of others in our Keystone Commonwealth, yea, all over this great Republic, are also greatly indebted to Henry Bouquet, and should esteem it a duty and privilege to help perpetuate the memory of his noble character and his

heroic deeds.

GUYASUTHA.

The reputed leader of the savages at Bushy Run battle and the siege of Fort Pitt, was Guyasutha, the chief of a band of Seneca Indians located in Ohio, who, along with the Mingoes, belonged to the Ioquois or famous Six Nations, from Central and Western New York. His name is spelled in half a dozen different ways. As a young brave he went with Washington from Logstown to LaBoeuf in 1754. He was a leading character in the conference with Gen. Bradstreet when that conceited officer was hoodwinked by the wily savages near Lake Erie in 1764. A few weeks later he had to deal with a different style of man in his conference with Col. Bouquet on the Muskingum. His eloquent and politic speech on that occasion is given in the Bouquet pamphlet, page 68. In April and May, 1768, he was leading actor at a conference at Fort Pitt. When Washington descended the Ohio in 1770 Guyasutha visited him and was recognized as one of his companions in 1754.

In 1775, two days after the Westmoreland patriots had promulgated their Declaration of Indpendence, on May 16, at Hannastown and Fort Pitt, Guyasutha, who had just returned from Niagara, held a conference at Fort Pitt with Majors Trent and Ward and Captain Neville. Capt. Pipe, a Delaware chief, and Shade, a Shawnese chief, and several other Shawnese, took part. Guyasutha announced that the Six Nations and their allies in Ohio would remain neutral during the impending war between the British and the American Colonists. He said: "Brothers, we will not suffer either English or Americans to pass through our country. Should either attempt it we will forewarn them three times, and should they persist they must abide the consequences. I am appointed by the Six Nations to take care of this country, that is, of the Indians on the other side of the Ohio, and I desire that you will not think of an expedition against Detroit, for, to repeat, we will not suffer an army to pass through our country.'

In 1782, July 13, Guyasutha led the attack on Hannastown. He seems to have been the greatest leader of Pontiac's Eastern confederates, but had his forces shattered at Bushy Run by Bouquet, after the best contested battle ever

Looking at matters from our modern standpoint, we may smile at the mention of some of the articles in the foregoing list. But Bouquet, like all other men, must be judged by his own times, and the customs of the age and country in which he lived. An inventory of the personal effects of George Washington and other Revolutionary patriots would not differ materially from the one given above.
