LANCASTER COUNTr. 87 



A present of 50 pounds of powder, 1 piece of Stroud- 

 water, 1 piece of Duffils, 100 pounds of shot — being 

 laid upon the floor, the Governor, by Indian Harry, the 

 Interpreter thus spolie : 



Governor Penn, upon all occasions, is willing to show 

 how great a regard he bears to you, therefore has sent 

 this small present, a forerunner of a greater one to 

 come next spring, to you, and hath required me to ac- 

 quaint you that he is about to settle some people upon 

 the branches of the Potomack, and doubts not but the 

 same mutual friendship which has all along as brothers 

 passt betwixt the inhabitants of this Government and 

 you, will also continue betwixt you and those he is about 

 to settle ; he intends to present five belts of wampum to 

 the Five Nations, and one to you of Conestogo, and 

 requires your friendship to the Palatines, settled near 

 Pequae. 



To which they answer : 



That they are extremely well pleased with the Go- 



her head on the ear," fhe father heard a noise at the cabin's 

 door, he went and opened it, at that instant a wolf seized him 

 by the breast of his jacket — Franciscus hugged him tightly — 

 called to his daughter to bring the butcher-knife and rip open 

 the beast — she did — and the wolf was butchered. 



The place where the wolf was slain, is marked by the head of 

 a fine spring, near Lampeter Square, where Daniel Zimmerman, 

 who bought of Franciscus, erected a substantial sandstone 

 house in 1750. Daniel was the son of Henry Zimmerman, or 

 Carpenter, a Swiss patriot, of whom we shall have occasion to 

 speak hereafter. 



Col. Bouquet, a Swiss, in the English service during the 

 French and Indian War, visited Daniel Zimmerman, in 1758, 

 while his detachment of men was quartered at Lancaster. 



John Miller, grandfather of Jacob Miller, who communi- 

 cated these facts, raised one Paulus, who was Bouquet's driver 

 — he drove what B. called miin roth wagdii.
