And ne er before upon thy ihore
Were foreign foot -print! ihd ;
But thru' thy grorei the ear age roy'd,
Where mountain it ream I eta (low.
Whrn brave Columbui oroeecd the acai
Four hundred yean ago.
With heart of it eel that feared no 111,
With follower! true and brare.
Ho bnde farewell hie native dell.
And tried the truaoheroua ware;
lie dared to roam the ocean foam.
Whore itonny breaica blow.
And to thy shore glad tiding! bore,
Four hundred yean ago !
Faith wa the guide faith true and tried.
That cheered him on hia way.
And pointed out the path leu route
To where thine iiln lyi
Ij'Mie wai the itar that ihone afar,
with bright and dMliog glow,
And fleered Ml bark 'mid danger dark,
Four hundred yean agol
But ehanged the neene lioee then I wocn
Thy lavage ebieftaini tied.
And where of old the grim wolf itrolled,
Proud eitice rear their head)
And fertile plain! of golduu grain.
In rich luxurinnoe grow,
Where all wai drear aa autumn icar,
Four hundred yean agol

Wavea o'er the brare and free,
And our naviee ride in all their pride
Oo every founding lea j
And nation! gaae in stark am ate.
For well the natiom know
Our name and fame was not the lame
Four hundred yean agol
And far away, while the wild windt play
Through the forest's ditnal night,
An Iron Heed with lightning suoed
I) arts like a rny of light j
And steamers glide o'er the sparkling tide,
Wbcro weary and faint and slow,
The red man drew his light eanoo,
Four hundred yean agol
Then, bail Columbia! happy Innd,
Home of the poor oppressed, .
May still to thee the etile floe,
And find a place of rest.
And May thy power increase caoh hour.
Thy sons in virtue grow,
And die to save what Colon gave
Four hundred years ago
A Mississippi Romance.

was one of tho most practical and atic-
ceBsful planters in tho territory wu
tho fii'Ht who commenced to improve
our breed of hows, and was renowned
for his tablo und his wines.
His beautiful eslnlo extended to tho
Hull Way Hill, -ilia lands, on his
death, were purchased by tho lato Ger
ard lirnndun, and wero given to his
sons-in hiw, Col. Jiimcs Smith nnd
Wm. Sliiiitou, two nf our most vnltia
bio citizens, now deceased. Hero Col.
Burr resided somo two weeks after
his diK'liarge, receiving the visits of
influential ttymptilhizors, but passing
hi afternoons in tho woods. The
Half-Way Hill, then clothed with ma
jeslio (roes, was his favorite resort.
But its refreshing shade and charming
prospects wore not the only attrac
tion. Thero lived, al that limo neur
tho summit of tho hill, in it littlo vino
covered cottago, a widow lady from
Virginia, whoso small farm and two
or three slaves wore the only rcmuins
of a largo fortuno. Her hunband hud
converted his property into money,
and on his way to this Territory had
been robbed and murdered by tho no
toiious Joseph Thompson llarn.a more,
blood thirsty villiun oven than tho
celebrated Mason. Siio had but one
child, Madeline,, who must still he ro
mcmbered by a few of our oldosl in
habitants as a miracle of bcaiy. In
form and fcaturo, in grace nnd modes
ty, she was all that tho old mnsters
have pictured of tho divino Madonna,
or that artists have, dreamed of human
loveliness. Thojto that saw her loved
her, j ot sho was never conscious of the
sentiment until alio listened to Aaron
linrr.
The family woro Cnlhnliea, and thero
Colonel Uurr went lo moot, by ap
pointment, one of his numerous ngnnls
and correspondents, tho Ahbo Viol, a
Jesuit priest of remarkublo ability.
Ho was born in New Orleans in 1739,
sludiod at Paris, and becumo a mem
her of tho Congregation of Oratory.
A I tho dissolution of that body by the
French Government ho returned to
Louisiana, and exercised (ho priestly
function in tho parish of Atlacknpiis.
Ho subsequently returned to Franco.
1 1 is probablo that Col. Dtirr, in his
projoctcd invasion of Moxioo, contem
plated securing the influence of tho
religious orders, und for thut purpose
had opened n corrrcspondunce with
thoAbbo, and met him by appoint
merit in this secluded placo.
. At length, oflor canvassing his situ
ation, with Col. Osmun and six other
confidential friends, Col. liurr deter
mined lo fur foil his bond nnd make
his way to Pensacola. Ono stormy
night in February, 1SU7, ho set forth,
mounted on tho favorite, horse of his
host, and attended by Jerry, a faith
ful groom, who had orders to go as
fur us Pear) river, llrgont as tho no
cessily for tno expedition, Colonel
Burr halted till daylight at tho wid
ow's cottatro nlcudinif with Iho beau
tiful Madeline to bo the companion of
his flight. He promised mnrriiige,
fortune, high position, and even hinted
at imporiui honors, not reslir.ing even
thon, a fugitive and branded traitor,
the crushing downfall thai Impended
over ti i in. The maiden had given him
her heart) eh had listened to his
witchery night aflor night, und loved

alley nt Sunbury with a but in my
hand, tossing a ball against tho wall,
wailing for Major Charles Mucluy to
play a game, a vory tall, stnui strang
er came to mo nnd said : "My nitino is
Sim Stewart, of Lycoming county;
your namo, I understand, Is John
Binns, and you aro editor of tho He.

"I wish to know," s.tid ho, "who is
tho author of the letters published in
that puperslgned 'Ono of lho People."'
"For wlutl purpose," Raid I. llo re
replied : "There nro remarks in ono
of lliRin which reflect on my character,
and I nursl know tho author. I do
dined telling him, but said if there
wus anything untrue it should bo cor

and instantly threw his lel'i arm across

tho same limo throw his right arm
across tho back of my head violently,
pushing his forefinger into lho corner
of my right oye, evidently wilh tho

1 Struck hint ore tlio al. in will, nil
my Mrcngih, whon ho lel'i go his hold,

deavored to throw ino down. Wo
wero separated by Major Maclay and
others who cnnio into tho alley. In
his effort lo gougo out my eyo ho led
a scur which will accompany mo to

Tho bull alloy was nltnchod to Har

I then wrappeil a pair of pistols in
my overcoat pocket, walked about
half a milo to thu house of William
Bonhain. whero 1 dirocled my horse
to bo forwarded with any note that
might come.
MaiorMaclay soon arrived rfnd after
giving him n full statement of all that
had occurred, ho wunt to iserthumuor-
isMand to sottlo tho titno nnd placo.
Whilo wo talked tho constable rapped
at lho door and inquirod if I wns in tho
houso. Ho was told that 1 had gone
up tho road.
On Mr. Maelny's return ho told mo
lho meeting was to bo at seven o'clock
lho next morning, nt tho end of a
fonco behind Luwsho's houso, opposite
Derrstown, whero we had agreed lo
sleep that night. We woro on tho
grounij at ovo,n o'clock, just in tho
gray of tho morning. In a few min
ute wo saw Mr. Slowarl und Mr.
Konticdr coming down Iho Inno. Af
ter mutual salutations, Mr. Mnclay
prnjioacd that wo should cross the
swamp and re tiro to a moio private
pluce, whero lho ground was perfectly
loar. Having arrived on lho ground,
Mr. Kennedy proposed that the par
lies should settle tho distance, Ao. .
To this I objected, that being lho
duty of tho seconds, and not of tho
principals. Messrs. Aluclayaml Ken
nedy then retired mid after some con
versation, stepped eight puces and
placed Mr. K.ewart and myself tit the
extreme ends of the lino. Mr. Mac ay
thon said I "Gentlemen, you will un
derstand that it isugreed botween Mr.
Kennedy and myself that II either ol
the parlies shall leav his ground un
REPTlRTirAM
1871,
til tho affair is finally settled, such
party ahull bo regarded us disgraced."
Tho socondd then retired to loud tho
pistols. Mr. Machty afterwards told
mo ho then suggested to Mr. Kennedy
lho propriety of tin offort to effect a
reconciliation. Mr. Kennedy said:
"That is impossible unless Mr. Binns
apologized for tho language used in
his mossnga to Mr. Slowart. For my
part," ho added, "I think nothing
should ho attempted until the imit:os
hnvo at least exchangod a shot." Ma
clay nnd Kennedy drew near to us,
nnd Alaclay said : "When tho word
firo is given, you nro to (Iro as quick
as you can. if either delay whilo one
of us oount threo and suy stop that
ono ahnll for that limo loso his tiro j n
snap to bo counted a lira."
Tho seconds tossed up to determine
which should givo tho word. Al r.
Mucluy won. The pistols wero hand
cd to us and discharged so simultune
ously that but ono report was heurd.
Neilhcr hull took effect. Tho pistols
woro again handed lo the seconds and
thoy retired a low paces. Al lhi
point Mr. Mucluy assiirred me after
wards ho used every honorable argu
ment to movo Mr. Kennedy to present
a proposition of settlement. This he
did without offect. Ho then ruisod his
voice and said : "You had bolter con
sult your principal, and I will do tho
suine." Muchiy's first words to me
wero : "Kennedy Is a scoundrel ; ho
is dotorininod lo havo you shot." 1
suiil, "You know tho terms wo ngrood
upon ond we will carry thorn out."
Tho pistols wero again handed to us.
Alter a hhorl pause Mr. Mucluy came
between us and said : ' Cientlemon,
I think this business has now gono fur
enough, and mny be amicably and
honorably adjusted." Ho proposed
thut Mr. Stowart should upohigiy.o for
his attack, nnd then Mr. Binns should
ducluro that tho publication wns nol
inado for the purposo of wounding the
leclings of Mr. S., bul because lie bo
lievoii il to bo truo, and that it was
matter propor for public information.
Mr. Stowart thou said : "II (iod has
given mo more strength than other
men, 1 do not think 1 ought to abuse
it. I nover wlrucU a man in my life
thut 1 was not sorry for it." This
wus not held atillieiont apology. After
a pause, Mr. S., mudo lliu required
upolngy, and I made thu declination
my fiiund had proposed. Tho parties
shook hands und nt a tavern in lho
neighborhood they and llieir friends
breakfasted together. Air. S., and 1
continued friends anil his death,
many years afterward. When ho was
elected to the Assembly from Lycom
ing county, some yours nftor. ho voted
for mo, then editor of tho Ih-moeratic
i"rfs, ns a director of the Pennsylva
nia Bunk. .Major Mac lay was then
about twenty eight yours of ngu, nnd
u mull of much promise. Ho was a
son of tho Hon. Satnuol Muchiy, then
l mtcd Slulcs Senator from Puimayl
vunia. Ho died soon oiler this olhiir.
I found on my return ihnt it wus
Joseph Prieutly, Ksq., who had tho
warrant issued for my urrest. Ho
saw mo leavo wilh a small mahogany
caso in which ho knew Judge Cooper
kept his pistols nnd stmpoolod what
wns about to tako place. Air. Stownrt
in a nolo to ino expressed surprise
that lho rumor had got afloat, us
neither ho nor Mr. Kennedy had com
municntcd with any one uboul il, and
I full sure wo hud kept tho mutter so
cret.
This duel put an end lo anything
like porsonnl rudenoss by any mem
bers of lho Federal parly so long ns I
remained in Northumberland, and
doubtless had its effect after my ro
moral to Philadelphia."
This duel wns fought near where
Allen used to livo beyond tho ninrsh.
Had its termination been fatal, ils
exact locality would no hotibl bo fixed.

Sheop Killing Dogs, )
Pretty much tho whole canine fi t. .

noss of dogs, and llieir penchant for
sheep' blood in particular, upon" uiiji
other hypothesis. Of cotirso no man'
dog in particular has this pmponi-iiy',
and of course yonr own dog never
kills a sheep. 'Vo r.ovor found n do
owner yet that would acknowledge
his cur guilty unless two men wer(
ready lo swear thut they taiighl him
in tho net, and then it is always tho
first offense, though hundred of tiipcp
havo been tnnngled and killed in tho
neighborhood, Tho old rule of pre
sumed innocenco will not do in this
caso. It is to bo presumed that every
dog no matter what his breed, il: ot
training is n born sheep killer. Wo
lately caught u trained pointer Vi'ft1)

If tho dog lux meets these looses, well
and good ; if not the farinor suffer.'.
This, of course, operates tlisaslrqsly
upon sheep-raising, one of tho most
profitable branches of husbandry in
tho Kaslern Slutos. It is especially
discouraging lo investments in tho
rough bred unimnls. Cotsividds, with
n good pedigrco, are worth n hundred
dollars ouch, 'fen of these nniiniit
cost a farmer a thousand dollars. It
would bo a small job for a dog nol
worth ten cents for any purpose but
tho hi nn uro hoap, to destroy all this
properly in ono night. It is a smart
agricultural town that collects the tax
on five hundred dogs, and gets u thou,
sand dollar into its treasury. Few
men can nff ird to run a risk of putting
so much money into stock that is maihi
insecure, frogs are the great hind

character (d our legislation. Tho law
should presiniio that tho whole ra.'e is

but make them rospor.aiblo fop every'
