The Freclaiul two-story log dwell ing house, which constituted tlio fort, sceni3 to havo been picketed in the fall of 177S. The Frceland purty were from Essex -county, New Jcri-ey. On the 21st of April, 1771), tho Indians killed or captured seven of the mili tia men stationed' there but it was not until the 29th that the real attack on tho fort was made. Thero were nt tho time, forty or fifty women and children in the fort, and by somo accounts thirty-two men, and by others only twenty-one. At daybreak on tho 20th of April, 1779, a party of about 300, consisting of Iiritish and Indians, commanded by C.ipt. McDonald surrounded the fort. Thero was but little ammunition, and Mary Kirk and l'hebo Vincent immediately commenced to run their spoons and plates into bullets. Tho distress of tho women and children and tho want of ammunition mado successful resis tance hopeless, and about nine o'clock a flag oftruco was raised. John Littlo and John Vincent conducted the negotiations, and af ter consultation agreed upon tlio following articles : aktici.es or capitulation, ronr fjti:n l.AND, 1779.

John McDonald, Capt. of Hangers, John Litit.i:. It was after this surrender that Capt. Iioono's party camo tip, so many of whom wero uselessly slaughtered by the eiiemv. In the fort but five men weie killed, viz.. lames Watts, John MeClintock, William McClung, James Miles and Henry Gillillen. Thirteen scalps of Capt, lloone's party wero brought into tho fort in n pocket handker chief. Among them was Capt. Iioono's. Tlio wholo garrison left tho fort by 12 o'clock, and tho women and children reached Northumberland, 18 miles distant, that night, not having eaten 11 bito during tho wholo day. Col. Smith writes to Pre-ident Iteed from Suiibury, August Sd, 1779, that hois there "with sixty P.ixtang boys";a id intends to follow tho savages, Ho reports that fifty-two women aud children and four old men camo safely from Fort Frceland. Ho says the distress of tlio peoplo is great tho town now composes Northumberland county houses', barns, wheat, stacks of liny, all 11 consumed, fcuch devastation ho has not yet seen, Tho surrender of Fort Frec- ;md and the defeat and death of Capt.Iloono left every thing exposed. Col, Hunter writes under dato of July 29th, "Tho town of Northumberland was tho frontier last night, and I am afraid Sunbury will bo to night," And ho begs for assistance, ns well ho might, seeing tlio helpless women and children Hying down tho river, many of the husbands and fathers slain, mid those yet ttlivo going on" into a hopeless captivity. It would bo interesting now to know who wero taken prisoners, and who returned from thcjeaptivlty. Hut ono ease is known, that of Hethtiel Vincent, who had been mar ried a bhort tituo beforo ho was taken'prisoii- er. Jus wile returned to her homo in New Tcrscy. For four years sito heard nothing from her husband, Ono evening alio was out witli a sleighing party, and having btopped nt n tavern a roughly dressed stranger in- pilreu ii u .Mrs. Vincent lived In that vicin ity. Sho was pointed out to him, mid ho informed her that ho knew her husband tn Canada, had lately seen him, and that ho was well. On tho return homo tho stranger wont with tho patty, and tlio extra passenger crowding tho tied, ho proposed to tako Mrs, Vincent on Ids lap but sho imligdantly d cliiicd tho familiarity, whereupon tho strait gcr diseovcrcd himself to bo her husband, when tho proffered courtesy was joyfully C' ccpted.

Ho becamoa wanderer. Hi hair grew whlto and his heart withered be foro ho again found a resting place. In all theso years of bitter desolation tho memory of tho music of his bells never left him; he heard it in the forest nnd in tho citv, on tho een and by the banks of tho rjuict stream iu tho basin of tho hills ; ho heard it by day . nnd when night came, and troubled sleep, it whispered to lnm soothingly of peace and happiness. Ono day ho met a mariner from over tho sea, who told him a story of a won drous chimo of bells ho had heard in Ire land. An intuition told tho artist that they wero his bells. Ho journeyed aud voyaged thither, sick and weary, and sailed un tho Shannon. Tho ship camo to anchor iu tho port near Limerick, and ho took passaco in a email boat for tho purposo of reaching the city. Jlcloro him tho tall steeplo of St. 3fcv ry's lifted its turrcted head nbovo the mist and smoko of the old town. IIo leaned back wcatily, yet with a happy light beamin irom 111s eyes.

Iho bosom of tho river was liko a broad intrror,reltccting tho patincs of bright gold that flecked tho bluo sky, tho towers, and the streets ot tho old town in its clear depths. Tho lights of the city danced upon tho wave lets that rippled from tho boat as shn plldoil tlong. Suddenly tho stillness was broken. "rom St. Mary's tower there camo .1 shower of silver sounds, filling tho air with music. Tho boatmen rested on their oars to listen. 'Tho old Italian crossed his arms and fixed Ids streaming eyes upon tlio tower. Tho sound of his bells bore to his heart all the sweet memories of his buried past ; home, friends, kindred, all. At !a,t he was happy too nappy to speak, too happy to breathe. When tho rowers sought to arouse him, his faco was upturned to the tower, but bis eyes wero closed. The poor stranger had breath ed his last. His own chefs:heuvrc had mug his "passing bell." Tlio London Human Hair Market.

Tho following rules for tho prevention or extirpation of diphtheria form the conclti ding sentences of n report submitted by Dr. Stephen Smith to tho Chicago board of health: Cleanliness in nnd around tho dwelling nnd pure air in living nnd sleeping rooms aro of tho utmost importance wherever any conlagiotis diseaso is prevailing, as clcanH ncss lends both to prevent nnd mlticato it, Every kind aud soitrco of filth around nnd in tho houo should bo thoroughly removed; cellars and foul areas should bo cleaned and disinfected; drains should bo in perfect re' pair; dirty walls and ceiling should bo limo- wn.hed, nnd every occupied room should be thoroughly ventilated. Apartments which liavo been occupied by persons sick with diphtheria should bo cleansed with disin fectants, ceilings llmewashcd nnd wood work painted, tho carpets, bedclothes, up holstered furniture, etc., exposed many davs to fresh air and tho sunlight (all articles which may bo boiled or sub cct to liitrh degrees of heat should bo thus disinfected). Such rooms should bo exposed to .1 current of fresh air for at least ono week before rcoccupation. When diphtheria i3 prevailintr no child should bo allowed to kiss strango children nortiioso sullenng from soro throat, t tho disgusting system of compelling children to kiss every visitor is a well contrived meth od of propagating other gravo diseases than diphtheria); nor should it sleep with or be confined to rooms occupied by, or use artic les, ns toys taken in tho mouth, handker chiefs, etc., belonging to children havinc sore throat, croup, or catarrh. If tho weather is cold, tho child should bo warmly clad with flannels. When diphtheria is in tho houso or in tho family, tho well children should bo scrupu- ousiy kept apart from tho sick, indrv. well aired rooms, and every possible sourco of micction through tho air, by personal con tact with the sick, and by articles used about them or in their rooms should bo rigidly guarded. Every attack of soro throat, croup mid catarrh should boat onco attended to. The fecblo should have invigorating food and treatment. Tlio sick should bo rigidly isolated in well-nircd (tho air being entirely changed nt least hourly), unlighted rooms, tho outflow 1 air being, as far as possible, throutrh tho external windows by depressing tho upper nnd elevating tho lower sash, or a chimney heated by a fire in an open fireplace; nil discharges from tho mouth nnd nose should bo received into vessels coutainiuc ilisinfno. Hits, ns solution of carbonic acid or sul- phatoofzinc, or upon cloth which aro im mediately burned; or, if not burned, thor oughly boiled, or placed under a disinfec ting 11 11 id. Dull (ireat Men. Descartes, the famous mathematician and hilofophcr. La Fouutainc. celebrated for lis witty fables, aud Iluflbn, the naturalist. were all singularly deficient in the power of conversation. Mormontel, tho novelist, was so dull iu society that his friend said to him Iter an interview, "I must go nnd read his ales, iu recompense to myself for tho weari ness of hcaringhim." As to Corucille, tho greater dramatist of France, ho was com- Ictely lost iu society so absent and em barrassed that ho wroto of himself a witty couplet, importing that ho was never intelli- iblo but through the mouth of another. Wit on paper seems to bo something widely uiercnt Irom that play of words 111 conver sation, which, whilo it sparkles, dies ; fr Charles II., tho wittiest of monarch, was so chtirmcd with tho humor of "lludibra,," that ho caused himself to bo introduced in the character of a private gentleman to Ent er, its author. Tho witty king found the author a very dull companion, and was of pinion with many others, that so stupid a fellow could never have written so clover a book. Addison, whr.so classic elegance has long been considered tho model of style, was shy and absent iu society, preserving even before a single stranger formal and dignified once. In conversation Danto was taci turn nnd satirical. Grey and Alfieri seldom talked or smiled. Housscau was remarkably into 111 convcrsation.without a word of fancy or cloquenco in his .speech. Milton was un social and sarcastic when much pressed by strangers. Tun Old Folks. Wo often reflect that tho bent and feeble forms of tho aged whom wo meet iu our daily rounds, onco bum hearts as blitlio and gay and wcioas full of childish foibles as tlioso of tho moro youth ful. They havo all passed through tho same dream of happiness, and tho pure rnmaiico that thrilled tho heart of tho beardlcs boy when love's young dream enraptured him by tho soft cheek and languishing glanco of lovely woman-each could tell his talo of school-boy life, and relato tho scenes of that era crowded with more of love, of passion, and more of spiritual truth than any of tho talcs ho had read in after life. Ho could tell of tender lays ho had penned at midnight by the light of a "tallow dip," nnd contrast the bright days of his youth with those later in life, and even praise tho maidens of his gen eration as being more fair than modern maids. When young, they had whispers iu a willing car, kisses upon a blushing check, and think tho kiss and whisper of that early day fonder than modem lips can now impart. They have a recollection of passions slighted and betrayed, of youthful friends early gono tu the spirit land, und prospects that only opened to deceive. Tho eyes that nro bright and tho lips that talk of love and all the fair forms that wo behold, must, iu the natural order of time, como tu this.

A man has just died in the lttio Lcmcrcicr Hatlgnolles, who nt ono tlmo had a criminal notoriety in tho United States, at New York, nnd uftcr many vicissitudes had como to sock oblivion in our great city. This man was named Chas. Colt, nnd ho was tho father oi tho inventor of tho revol ver which bears Hint name. In 1847 ho lived in Now York, on tho Hnrlom road, in n wooden house surrounded by n gnrden and remotofromovcryhnblttalon. Ho lived with a mistress, with whom ho often quarreled. Ono evening, in a fit of anger, Colt killed this woman by a blow with 11 bottle on tho temple. In tho presence of thocorpso tho tinfortu- nnto man only thought how ho could mako away with it the quickest. An internal thought parsed through his mind ; ho cut the body iu pieces, nnd, after salting it, buried it in another ono nnd transported tho funcrnl load on n dray to n vessel which sailed for New Orleans. Colt had taken caro to keep tho head which ho had buried n tho garden, and to give n false nddress in New Orleans, concealing also his own nnmo as consignor. Ou reaching its destination, tho box could not bo delivered, as tlio ad- Ircss was fictitious. It was sent back to NcvYork,opcncd and tho coipso discovered. Thanks to a mark on tho bosom (a tuft of hair toward the neck,) justice oyertook tho guilty one. Tho burled head was found in short, Colt, was condemned to bo hangod. It is unnecessary to say thnt tho family of tho unfortunate Colt mado all possiblo efforts to procuro his pardon ; they wero not oven listened lo. Tho evening beforo tho day on which Colt was to bo executed In tho prison, a fire broke out in the interior of tlio Tombs tho celebrated prison of Now York in the Egyptian stylo and tho fire man penetrated to tho interior of tho jail whero one of them won over by Colt's family carried to him a fireman's dress, by moans of which ho disappeared in the midst of the tumult. When they noticed his flight, it was tjo late ; Colt had left New York and was lost in tho desert wilds of America. Thus ho camo to Utah, to San Francisco, to Mexico, nnd from thero to Frnnco,whcro ho lived un- nown 111 Pans under the nnmo of Charles Kavanagh, the latter having been his mother's name. Beforo dying, Colt, who was a Protestant. sent for his pastor, and in his presence, and beforo ono of his neighbors from whom 0 get these details revealed the true story of his llfo nnd his identity. The First Printed Hook. It is a remarkable and most interesting fnct thnt tho very first uso to which the dis covery of printing was applied was tho pro duction of tho Hible. This was accomplished Mentz between 1110 and 1415. Gut- cnburg was tlio inventor of tho art.and Faust, a goldsmith, furnished tho necessary funds. Had it been a single page, orau entire sheet, which was then produced, there might hnvo been less occasion to have noticed it ; but there was something in tho wholo character of tho affair which, if not unprecedented, rendered it singulnr in tho usunl current of human events. Tho Hiblo was in two vol umes, which have been justly praised for tho strength aud beauty of tho paper, tho exact ness of the register.and tho lustre of tho ink. Tho work contained twelvo hundred and eighty-two pages, and being tho first over printed, of courso involved a long period of tinio, and an immeuso amount of mental and mechanical labor ; and yet for a lonj tlmo after it had been finished nnd offered for salo not a being save tho artists themselves know how it was accomplished. Of tlio first printed Hible eighteen copies nro known to bo in existence, four of which aro printed on vellum. Two of theso nro in Enirlaiid. ona being in tho Greenville collection, one in tho lloyul Library of l!erliu,nnd ono in tho Iloy- il Library of Paris. Of tho fourteen re maining copies ten nro in England thero being a copy in tho libraries of Oxford, Ed- nburg and London, nnd several in tho col lections of different noblemen. Tho vellum copy has been sold ns high as 1,300. AOliitinso of Cen. Washington. Ono other sceno may properly bo ndded to this brief record of the struggles nnd triumphs of old New York., There came a sunshiny day in April, 1780, when Gcorgo Y asliington, President-elect of tho United States by tho unanimous voice of tho peoplo, stood on a balcony in front of tho Senate Chamber in tho old Federal Hall on Wall street, to tako the oath of office. An im mense multitude filled thy streets, nnd tho windows and roofs of tho adjoining houses. Clad ina suit of dark brown cloth of Ameri can manufacture, with hair powdered, anil with white silk stockings, silver shocbuckles and stecl-hiltcd dress sword, tho hero who had led tho colonics to their independence c.iiuo modestly forward to tako up tho bur dens that peace had brought. Profound, silenco felljupon tho multitude as Washington responded solemnly to tho reading of tho oath of office, "I swear so help mo God." Then, amid cjiecrs, the display of flags, and tho ringing of all tho bells in tho city, our ursi i-resideiit turned to faco tho duties his countrymen had imposed upon him. In sight of those who would havo mado an idol of hlin, Washington's first act was to seok the aid of other strength thnn his own.
