In doing this, be irged, they became guilty of murder Ibemselves, and were lilegally trading at Ibe expense of the bloOd and treasure of He frontiers. The traders still persisted Ingoing forward, and Lieutenant James Smith collected ten of the rangers who bid fought with him in the Indian wars, ,nd npent off. secretly by night and en- 1 ampcd inf the woods. ; The! next day. I iey blacked and painted their faces, and faylaid tbe traders near Sideling Hlll.— jailtb posted bis men at Intervals for ibout forty rods, in.tbe forest'along tbe road, and opened a slow and continuous Ira upon tbe caravan. ’ When tbe tra cers saw tbeir pack horses falling around bem, they, called out to tbe assailants “\Vbat would you. have us do?’’ The aply was: “Collect all your loads to the front and unload them at one place, take our private property, and then-retire.’* i'lien they were gone,- Smith and his arty examined the packs, and finding beio to contain powder, blankets, shirts, tomahawks and scalping knives, hey destroyed everything In tbe meantime the traders returned jFort Loudon, and applied to Lieuten at Grant, the commanding officer, for a ompany of soldiers to go in pursuit of bo "robbers”, as they called Smith’s uen. The soldiers were seat, and with- iHapplying to amagistrate or obtaining ay civil authority, but barely on bus [don, they arrested, without*, duo pro ses of law, u number of persons, some ifwbom were not in any way connected vitbtbe movement of Smith and his lagers, and confined them in tbe guard iouse at Fort Loudon. A number, of tlie t ettlers assembled to resist the soldiers,. 1 ad shots were exchanged. James Irowo was shot through the thigh by *rge'ant Leonard MoGlusken, and a rarraot for the arrest of McGlasken was mid by Justice William Smith, but Irant refused to give him up. Lleuteu [Qt Smith then raised three hundred IQemeri, and, took position on a bill a sight of the fort.' Tbe commandant ! the fort-sent for the, leader of the murgent forces, and asked what he leant by appearing before the King’s it with such a mob. Smith replied bat be came to demand tbe prisoners hen in custody, and If an attempt was aiie to send them to Carlisle jail under aescortof the King’s troops, they were s|pnnioed to fight the troops and die to mao, sooner than let the. prisoners go (Jail.

On the 28th' of May, Grant was out iding about, a mile from the fort, in »opany with two other men, when h© ras waylaid by five armed men—James tolth, Bum’l Owens, John Fiery and others.

The next iight they again opened tire on the fort, od continued till daylight, ytheh’they *nta demand that the cantured arms •ould to the magistrates; and h the refusal of the lieutenant to cora iy with the demand, they opened such brisk Are on the.fort that the sentinels 'ere driven from their places.

' 1 ' 11 The Governor went to Carlisle, In company W|t{i the Attorney General and wo members of the council, and caused Warrants to be Issued for the persona known to have taken part in the jiot; J and the sheriff was despatched to execute them, authorized to summon to hl»" aid the power of the county,and if necessary, to request the assistance of the King’s troops at , Fprt Xqnihiu. But the sus pected persona hadall .absconded, before lie reached the neighborhood in 'which they lived, and not a single arrest was made. Subsequently bills were presen ted to the grand jury of the county, but the sympathy of the community with the rloten*was so strong that the bills were ignored. To prevent further diffl ;°dtoy,, Grant and his command were ; transferred tor F6rt:Pitt. James Smith, the leader of the settlers attacks, lived at Conococheague s In 1755, at the age ofeight eefDj he was captured 1 by .the Indians, aqd remained in' captivity until 170(3, In 4764 he'served as a lieutenant in Bou | quetVexpedition. 1u1759, the carrylng, goods and '‘warlike stores to the Indians, who had again become troublesome. A Jarge of go.ods was destroyed, and several per -Bori‘B u \jpere apprehended and thrown into, irons In the guoid house atFortßedford. Smith determined if possible to release, them from the graspof the military pow er. He culled around him eighteen of his o)d “black boys,” faithfully tried in the Indian service, and started at night to capture the fort. 'William Thompson went ahead as a scout. The second nighty after crossing the Juipato, they rested UQtil J:be moou rose, about'eleven o’clock, and then proceeded until they met Thom pson, who reported that'the command ing officer at Bedford had heard of their approach, and bad ordered thirty men on guard. The British troops laughed at the absurdity of eighteen men coning to rescue the prisoners, but they did. not expect, them before noon. The same night Smith and his men proceeded cautiously to within sight of the fort.— At daylight the gate was opened, and only three sentinels stood upon the wall —tbe guards at that time being assembled in an inner room to take their morning dram, having left their arms' standing together at one place. Smith’s men ran rapidly in by the open gate, and. the morning being misty, the sentinels never saw them until they were all within tbe enclosure and bad possession of tbe arras. Then ohe°of tlij guards fired off bis mus ket, and all of them decamped. Smith compelled a blacksmith to take the irons off the prisoners, and with his friends, quickly left, the place. Smith himself afterwards remarked that “this was the first British fort in America taken by American ‘rebels.’ ” Some time after -Ibis, Smith took a journey westward, to survey some land, • and as he passed near Bedford, walking and leading his'liorso, he was overtaken by several men on horseback, who pre sented their pistols and, called upon him to surrender. He stepped back,' leveled his rifle an.d told.them to stand off. Sev .eral.ahots were exchanged, and n traveler, whom Smith bad ..met on the road, Was killed; They charged Smith with the murder, and made him a prisoner, ami took him to Bedford, where; Justice Holmes summoned a jury, and held an inquest, winch brought in a verdict of wilful murder against Smith; and be was committed to prison. Blit there was great dissatisfaction with the decision of the jury, and Coroner William Denny, thought proper to reexamine the case.— Thcrbddy of the tburdered man was rais ed, and hie shirt was found blackened around the bullet bole by the powder of the charge which killed him. From # the testimony of Smith’s accusers, he stood at a distance of twenty feet from the murdered man, aud after h number of experiments the jury were of opinion that if a shot were fired at that distance, tbe powder would not bum the shirt, and consequently that the murder was not committed by Smith, but by,some of his assailants. ‘ « In the meantime, for fear of a rescue, Smith was sent privately over the moun tains to Carlisle, where he was thrown into prison and heavily ironed. In a few daysa number of Smith’s old “black boys” came to Carlisle to rescue hira.-r They surrounded the jail and demanded his release, but he spake to them from the jail window, and told them be was under an indictment for murder, and it would be dishonorable to permit himself to be rescued. He urged them, as the greatest favor they could do him, to withdraw from the jail and return to their homes. They turned homeward, but before they arrived at Conococheaguo, they met another party of threebundred men, coming to their assistance, and all of them, returned to Carlisle and again demanded the releaseof Smith—but they were again prevailed on to go to .their, homes When the Court convened Smith was arraigned for* trial. Excite- ment ran high, and cnowds filled the town. On the trial Robert George, one of Smith’s assailants, swore tha he him self fired the. first ebot, and evidence, similar to that adduced by Coroner Den ny was laid before the jury, who brought in a verdict of not guilty, whereupon one of the judges declared that notone of the jury should ever hold an office above a constable.. Smith afterwards rose to distiuctlon in the Revolutionary army. Hp was a member of Assembly from Westmore- land county* arid while In Philadelphia, in 1777, he met a party of.his old com rades from Cumberland Valley on.(lie street, on their way to. New Jeresy to fight the British; and they desired him to be their commander. . He obtained leave of absence from the Assembly, and with his company of'rangers took the advance of Washington’s army. At Rocky Hill they attacked and defeated two hundred of the eneniy, and the next day fell upon a party of Hessians guard ing the# office's’ baggage, captured the guard and the wagons, and released sev- era! American prisoners. Unencumbered with extra clothing or camp equipage, shilled In the manouvrea of Indian war fare, accustomed to long marches and scanty fare, they were a terror,to the foe wherever they appeared; and so conspic- uous were their services that the council of safety unanimously recommended the raising of a resjment of backwoods men under command of Captain Smith. General Washington,'however, did not approve of the system of warfare waged by Smith’s rangers, and while he declin ed The preferred regiment, he tendered Smith a ma)or’e commission In a regi ment of riflemen already raised He concluded rather to serve with hie old companions In arms, with whom he remained until ho received a colonel's commission In 1778. In which capacity he served with credit to the end of the war. Assault and Battery.— On Thura day night Inst, Constable Sanno arrested Daniel Henry and Joseph Armhollz, at Doubling Gap, for committing an assault and battery upon James B, Maglnughlln, about tile first of .May, They entered ball before Esquire Shambaugh, of Plain fluid, for their appearance at court. An Excursion Party—President GbaSu? in Town.— Ou Thursday last, an excursion party of twenty persons ar rived In town,and proceeded by an.extra train to Pine QrOve. The party consisted of Mrs. President' Grant and son, In. charge of Major Douglas, son of the late Stephen A. Douglas, and now private secretary to the President; I 'Jay Coolie and son, Mrs. Henry D. Cooke* wife of the Governor, of Washington, and a number of others whose names we have not learned. The party are Vencamped about half a mile above PlneGrovo fur nace, and are enjoying themselves fish ing for trout and breathing the pure mountain air, which must have been de cidedly refreshing during the first few days of their snjurn. Ou Saturday af ternoon Mr. Douglas, Mrs. Grant and son wenttoNewvllleon the tbreeo’clook train, and President Grant passed through town on the late train—accompanied byj Marshal Jjfaajpu. Thfty passed t|je tfofr bath with some of their relatives at New ville, and on Monday the Presidential party started for Washington. While the train halted in Carlisle, Gen. Grant appeared on the rear platform of the car. As it was/generaily known the President would be on the train, quite a number of persons bad assembled in the street, and three cheers were given for the distin guished strauger, which beacknowledged by lifting his bat., A number of- army officers and others were presented to the President,-after which Mr. John Noble introduced him to the crowd, who felt it incumbent upon them to give another cheer, in response to which his excellency again deified his beaver. "A marked feature of the occasion was the absence of every leading- Republican in the town. Several of them were seen standing, onthe outskirts of tbe crowd, but not one approached tbe President or took his ban*d.. We can scarcely ascribe this apparent discourtesy to a feeling of delicacy, for modesty Is not one of the cardinal virtues of thatorganization. The absence of these gentleman rendered the occasion very embarrassing. The Presi dent stood gazing at the crowd for about three minutes, and the crowd stood gaz ing at him, and not a word was spoken (o break the painful silence. Finally the President turned bin back upon tbe crowd and began conversing with some one in side the oar door. He seemed to be about .as much relieved the spectators were when the train moved off. vCom« Foote and Sisters.— On Tues day, May 16th, afternoon and evening, at Rheem’s Hall, our citizens will have an opportunity of witnessing the recherche performances given by Com, Foote and Sister, the little Fairy Queen of Beauty. Both are the smallest and smartest peo ple of mature age living. Our citizens will be surprised to see how they have improved in acting since they were here some years ago, although they have remained in tbeir diminutive stature.— They are assisted this time "by tbeir sisters, Miss Lotta Nestel, a talent ed young lady of full grown size, and by Mrs. Russell, tbe charming vocalist and pianist. Chicago and . other western papers claim that she is equal if-mot; su perior to.any of tbe most distinguished sopranos from abroad who ever visi ted Chicago. Her voice is of surprising clearness and power, and has been train? ed and cultivated to the highest point of artistic excellence.. Also,.Mr. C. Wilk inson, from London, England, the great violinist, Is 1 with them. By all means let nobody stay at home, as tbe price of admission is within tbe reach of all. Af ternoon-adults, 25 cents; children, of schools, 10 cents. Evening—adults, 35 ; children under 12 years, 15 cents. The afternoon performance will*commence at 4 o'clock, in order to accommodate the schools. Burglars and Chicken Thieves.— On Sunday night, the store of Mrs, Asobepbnch, on North East street, was entered by burglars, who gained admis sion through the front window. The family, hearing a noise, became alarmed, and the burglars fled. Later in the night they returned and v entered the house through a back window, but were again driven away. They returned a second time, ami carried off fifteen chick ens from a pen in the yard, and endeav ored to carry away two hogs. Constable Sanno, on Monday morning, started on track of the thieves; and by feathers on the ground traced them to the house of a man named Reed, on South street} where a number of the chickens were found and recovered.. Reed was committed to prison, and his companion Edwards took to ids heels. Constable Han no followed him. some distance down the - Lisburn road, where he captured him and brought him to jail. Committed. -Our genial friend Gougher —the champion bill poster and fence decorator—is again in trouble. In the natural playfulness of his disposition he threshed a .little boy named Duuyon, who was playing “ shinny” in the street, and accidentally knocked a stone un comfortably near the shins of Madam Gaucher. The native chivalry of his character impelled him to resent the in sult, as the protector of the family ; In consequence of which George was com mitted to the gloomy walls of the prison, there to mourn the ingratitude of repub lics. *> • Keep, your eyes on Duke «fc Burkhol dera ury Qo6d store.

Death From Rope dip the following from a western ex* change, and hope It will bo a warning toj' those little girls who are so ambitious tfr excel in rope jumping.** “By a notice elsewhere, It will be seen that another death has occurred in our city from excessive rope Jumping,a little duughterof James A. Moody having died on Monday, evening from inflammation of the bowels, brought on by over indul* geuce in that exercise. While rope jumping may be apleasurable and health* ful recreation, within reasonable limits, the tendency to excess in the of the exercise should lead to disuse of the practice entirely. In this Cass we learn that on. Thursday, In the strife with her companions to see which could jump the greatest number of times without stopping,' the deceased accomplished the feat something over three hundred limes, ofier which, feel 1 nggreatly exhausted,she sat or laid downjupoh the grass fora con* siderabljolength of Uinpro’Bably takfng" cold by so doing. The* next morning—; though complaining to her compaflipns of being sore aricflame, before entering sohuoi she made one hundred and seven ty consecutive jumps qiore. About 11 o’clock she was compelled to return home from sohuoi, severe inflammation of the bowels rapidly developing itself, from which she died three days thereaf ter, as above announced.” Since the above was in print, we learn from the Harrisburg Patriot that a daugh ter of Dr. Brandt, of Mechanicsburg, jumped rope two hundred times on Fri day evening last, it is supposed on a wa ger,' and fell dead immediately after. She was sometime before warned and forbid den to jump the rope, but did so notwith standing, with the above result. Ball's Keystone Reaper and Mow er.—Ball's Keystone Reaper and Mowers with the Johnson Self Rake Attachment, manufactured by the Reese, Staats & Mellick Manufacturing Co., Philllpsburg, N. J,, is pronounced by competent judges a machine of unsurpassed merit. It is simple in construction, light and strong, and not liable to get out of order. It bad an Immense sale last year, was thorough ly tested, and gave.universal satisfaction. The Mowing and jSeapiiig Attachments are entirely separate, which enables the farmer to change from mowing to reap ing in five minutes, making a good sin gle.mower and one of the very ,best com bined machines in use. Farmers con templating the purchase of a Mower and Reaper will do well to examine Ball’s Kejstone, and we fcjel satisfied they will make selection of it. Mr. Peter Snyder, of-Silver Spring township, is the agent for Ball’s Keystone Reaper and Mower. His post office address is Hoguestown., WhitewashinqTrees.— Don’t white wash the hark upon the bodies of fruit and ornamental trees. We are'at a loss to know for what purpose some persons thus coat the bark of fruit and shade trees about their premises with lime, says an exchange, unless it is to make them look nice. It certainly does them more harm than.good, as it serves to obstruct tile respiratory organs, and in a measure prevents a thrifty growth. Should the bark become diseased and,rough, or cov ered' with moss, scrape it thoroughly with a hoe or scraper of some suitable description ; after wbich wash thorough ly with a strong solution of soap and wa ter. If this is done properly every sea son, it will prove a great benefit,, by de stroying the ins.ets which prey upon the bark/ aud otherwise promoting a healthy condition thereof, and increasing the vigor and vitality of the tree. The Growth op Shad.—Shad, ac cording to the opinion of Seth Green, the well known pisciculturist, do not attain their full growth sooner than at the age of three or four years. These views are formed from the examination and com parison of the young shad hatched out in artificial breeding troughs and, those caugfit in the Hudson. v ;Y,oqq2 shad hatched out are at the age of six weeks only one and one quarter Inches long, and not larger around than an ordinary sized darning needle, while in the month .of Juno shad five inches long are caught in the Hudson, The theory is advanced that the five inch shad is one year old, and having remained in the river or near Its mouth during the first twelve months, comes up the river with the old shad in the spring. . The Wheat Fields.'—From different parts of the county we learn that*the growing wheat crop never looked better at this season of the year than utTpresent. The only danger appears to be that, in case of a wet spring, there will be more straw than Is favorable to the largest production of grain. It is true tluere is yet the risk of the Hessian fiy, the milk weevil aud rust, but so far all the indi cations point to a bountiful crop at the': coming harvest. Dr. Sohoeppe’s Case.—The judiciary committee of the house of representatives has reported the bill to allow the case of Dr. Sohoeppe to be brought before the Supreme Court, and to hear the after discovered testimony, with a negative recommendation, which is equivalent to a defeat of the project. The bill repealing the Act for the col lection of taxes, by the County Treasurer of Cumberland county bas passed both Houses of the Legislature, and will, we learn, be signed by the Governor and made a law. . Onions and Lettuce.—Many, persons will use onions that have* Just begun to grow and throw away iba tops, aud per- Uaps at the Same lettuce. At this season of the year, tops of-onions are. more tender than lettuce, and if dressed in the same wuy. or eveu with a litlle sugar and vinegar, they make a belter relish than the beat lettuce brought to market.
