HISTORY OF DELAWARE COUNTY. 401 to Edgmont, or more likely in a review of that road, Henryllollingsworth, the surveyor, caused an apple-tree to he plantedat the end of every mile. The surveyor happened to be atvariance with Richard Crosby, who then resided in Middletowntownship. It8ohai)pened that one of the miles ended on Richardsland, but instead of planting an apple-tree the surveyor took anaxe, and bent two saplings so as to cross each other at the spot,saying at the same time, Richard Crosbie, thee crosses mc, andI will cross thee. Henry Hullingsworth wrote to his friends inEngland, that he had planted an orchard nine miles in length.It is said that some of the apple-trees then planted were stand-ing till within a very recent period.

The Temperance Hall in this township has recently been pur-chased by a Methodist congregation, and will hereafter be useda
