formation. From forgetfulness, land prob ably- a natural flesh° to exaggerate her term of life, Phillis' own statements are hardly - to be depended upon- To one she related that she was a married woman at ;he time of Braddock's defeat, when :Oland was impressed from her master's farm to serve as a teamster in the army or. its dis astrous march upon Duquesno. This should bare occurred in 1755, in which case, al lowing Phil 1J have been sixteen at the rime, her age at the time of her death would hate been 100 years. Another of her sto ries places her birth at date of the battle - Brandywine. This would shorten her iife to a little over SO years. We are in :lined to believe both accounts apocryphal. We have from good authority that in ISO 6 we a domestic in the family of our info; mant, wlio was very young at the time, and remembers lair as a woman apparently in her prime—without gray hairs. With Phil's hcselth and iron constitution she might, at that time, have been of any age beta eon thirty and sixty without bearing es idence of her years sufficiently marked to make an impression on :1 child. With Cs cry di-p .fition to contribute to the natu r.d and harmless popular belief in Plulits' sopCrllattlral limgevity, candor compels u iiwit our credence to, at 'nest, 103 years. but we feel confident that in placing her age at 100 we rather underrate than exag gerate her unusual span of life. We un derstand that a stone to mink her resting place is contemplated. Vie think this proper and right, but trust that before the design is carried into execution, no effort will be spilled to ascertain if possible, the actual date of the old W0111411 . :4 birth, that it may be recorded with her name on the' .4 toile. a . l'A. 5 1-•:, or A.

Tut: Wr.oxa Passzsnr.n.--On Friday, 2Sth ult., Jacob Rotharmel, a German, was brought before Justice Welsh, charged with stealing a horse, the property of Mr. Grove, of Elizabethtown, in this county. About four mortis ago a man called at the livery stable of Mr. G. ami hired a horse and sulky to drive to Mount Joy. Nut return ing in season inquiry was made, when it Wai discovered that the thief hal exchanged the sulky and harness for a bridle and sad dle on the road, after which the horse was ridden to Columbia, ;where he was offered for sale. At this place all trace of him was lost. So, pidon rested upon a hostler who about that time decamped from Kendig's Ta‘ern, on the Marietta Turnpike, and a look out uas kept for this individual by parties who hoped to earn the $ . 20 reward olrered for the arrest of the horse thief. On the 111.S1(11 lbaliartnel returned to fire neigh• hot h.nnl, w hen he was arrested by two aerie deaatic4, of Itapho township, and brought before Justice Welsh ns abut e stated. Mr. Grove was sou mooed in haste' and arrived in ditto and a very muddy buggy--hor , e in a lather. A. minute ex aminatimi, through spectaci.s, we believe, followed, ish n it was discovered that Ituth• :mud was not the thief, and he was accord ingly discharged. A. general flare up en sued between all the parties--the late pris oner pitched into the captors and they into the loser of the horse, claiming the $:2O for their trouble. The court pocketed its fees and hod for snaps, with what foresight the sueceding case will show.

Few men hare done mole fur the literary fame of their, c.mntry, and his works will long lire as meta rhils of his industry and ability, midi]) the pliy•ical difficulties under which lie labored have .endered the more remark able. Ile died in the prime of life with all his faculties about him in the midst of un fmislied labors and losing friends. The death of such a man is something mate than a national loss, it is a loss to humanity. Mr. Pre.mott belonged to a highly respect- title New England family. his grandfather, Col. Win. Pi eseott, Was in command of the ! American forces at Bunker Hill, and his ' father, William Prescott, long occupied a high judicial station. The Historian was born at Salem, Mass., entered Harvard Col -1 lege at Eileen, and graduated with honor.— ! He was intended fur the law, bat previous to lea% ink, college, he lost thesight of one eye by an accidental blow, the other from over ex ertion began to fail. and at the treshold of life he found himself nearly blind. In hopes that a cure might be affected, his father whose means were ample, sent him to Eu rope, where he spent two years under the , care of the hest occulists, hut NN itlt ut nny s al kr ae toss results. Ile rimer fully recoier• c 1 the use of his eyes. On his return he de- ; terinined to he a historian,— a strange de cision in t imv of his phy-sical defect. But he I knew what was requisite to become one. Ile had d also, a proud cou..ei u u s ne s s of Ids powers to uphold him in his puisnit, to T mury himself for which lie gave himself up to a ten year's course of reading. He then selected a suLjeet—The History of Perdinand and Isabella—which, after hav ing Leer ten years engaged upon it, be gave to tho public. It was published simult , ancuusly- at Boston and London. and at once , established his reputation. If fruit was long ' ripening., it 'sac perfect whets pr‘Jduced. l l The work was read with unusual admiration and by continua acclaim placed at once among the classics of uue language. Five years later his second work, the Conquest of Mexico, appeared. This was succeeded by the Conque,t of Peru. Ile also produc ed some miscellaneous works. Since 1850 he has been engaged on a history of Phillip the Second, of which the first three volumes have been published. This work will un fortunately remain uncompleted by the hand which designed it. The fame of this Amer can historian was won by nu artifice and can sustain no reversal. The extent of his re searches, the fidelity of his selections, his perspicacity and skilful arrangement, his candid treatment of his subject. and the beau ty of his style hare been universally ac knowledged. Prescott's four great histories are an enduring monument of his fame. They are not surpassed fur fidelity, impartial ity, comprehensiveness of view and clear ness and elegance of style. They are, and always will be classics which America ever may be proud that one of her sons contribut ed to the stores of American literature. The individual character of Mr. Prescott was somewhat indicated in Lis writings. He was nut a man of society, but was possessed of a genial manly heart, a pure:and unbletn kited character. His honors and distinct ions never impaired the modesty and sim plicity of his character, and perhaps no man so eminent was less the subject of envy, de traction, or ill will. Long will he be mourn ed by those who knew and ever will he be honered by those Mho can appreciate genius and its works, PICTCRE.QUE.—The following original passage occurs in a novelette published in the New York Ledger, which "Edward Ev erett writes for:" "The sight that so sturted the tories was that of another troop, of seventy or eighty horsemen, each carrying his rifle aloose be fore him on the crupper, to be ready for in stant service, who were coming dorm the cross-roads at a swift, vigorous trot. "It was the Free Itang,ers!" The discription of four score horsemen, each carry log, his rifle "aloese before Lim on the crupper," is highly picturesque. Of course, they were all riding backwards—at 0 "swifc and vigorous trot!" No wonder the twice weredisturbed!
