Sho was then a beautiful girl of eigh teen Mies Margaret Sliippcn the daughter of an opulent and ancient Philadelphia family, and one of the reigning belles of that town. Iloran ccxiors wore among the first settlors of Pennsylvania, and her great grand father was tbe first Mayor of Philadel phia. In the course of timo, tho fam ily had acquired great possessions ; and, laying aside the (Quaker garb, had bocome members of the Church of England. During the controversy be tween tho thirteen colonies and the King, which ended in the Revolution ary war, Edward Shippen, hor father, was inclined to the King's side. It was May the eighteenth, 1778. For many months tho British army had been quartered in Philadelphia, commandod by Major General Sir William Iio we. The general had now beon superseded, ant? was about to re turn to England. The offloers of the army, a woalthy class, who had noth ing to ao, seizeu me uvcnsiun ui ms retirement to amuse themselves by giving a grand festival in his honor ; and this was the day upon which it was to be held. The affair began with a grand re gatta upon the- Delaware rtvor; or, rather, a long procession of galloys and barges, filled with officers and la dies, winch were rowed slowly down ths whole length ot the city, in an av enue formed by the shore crowded with spectators, and a line ot men ot war and transport ships, gaily dressed with nans and streamers. At ball past four in the afternoon, the bargos began to move, the oars koeping time to martial music; and when iboy bad arrived opposite Market slroot they all lay upon their ours, while the bands ployed "God save tho King;" after which the soldiers gave throe cheers. Continuing their course, the company were oonvoyed past the oity to wuero a grand tournament was to lake plaoo ; and it was in this portion of tho entertainment that Murgarot Shippen shone. A spacious bold, sur rounded by troops, bad oecn prepared for the contest. Upon one side were stationed all the bands of musiu in tho army. Thero were also two pavil lions, witu rows oi uenciies, one aoove the other, filled with the most dislin iruishod ludies of the city. On the front seat ol each of theso pavillions, wero placed seven of the most benutilul young ladies Pennsyl vania could boaitt. They wore dressed in Turkish eoBtumo trowsers, tunics, and turbans and in thoir turbans they wore tho furors with which they intondod to reward the knights who werotooontond in thoirhonor. Among these lovely ladios sat Miss Margaret Shippen. Uno ot the knights wbo tig ured in the tournament was Captain Andre, hor familiar acquaintance, lilt tin could either of them have thouirht. on this bright day, bow fatally their destinies were involved The trumpet aoundod. The horald appeared. The chalhsngo was deliv crod, and tbe contest occurred, which ended without loss of blood, to the satisfaction of all concerned. At tho conclusion of tho tournament, the com pnny wero ushered into a magniftoent bull room, decoratod, wo are told,' by eighty-five mirrors, and lighted by thirty-four branches ol wax candles. Tho ball was opened bv tho fourteon belles in Turkish dress, and their four teen knights ono Lieutenant Slopor boing tho kniirht who led Miss Nup pen out to the dnnco. At ton o'clock tho windows wero thrown open, and a splendid display ol Ore works was ex hibited. At twelvo large folding doors, which had bilbcrto been concealed, were suddenly thrown opon, which rcvonl ed a gorgeous saloon, two Hundred and'ton feet Ion if, forty foot wldo, and twonty-two leet high, with three al oovos on eacn siun. i ins was llio sup per room, v pon the tables there wot twelve hundred dishes. As the cuosts entered the room, a great number of black slave in oriental oosUinie, rang od in two columns, bower) to ibt ground. iiu$ vast apartment was one splendor of wax lights, flowers, ribbons, flags, mirrors, and silver plate. One of the regular toasts ol the occasion wag "Miss Sbippon and m iiEPie hor knight." Alter supper, the com pany returned to tho ball room, find apt np the dance till four in the morn ing, reaching their bomos about sun rise. This festival, aa Major Andre re marks, was the most splendid ever given by an army to its chief. And little, indoed, had tbnt chief done to deserve it. ' An old officer of the Brit ish army, who porceived tho folly of paying itucli extravagant honors to a general who had won no victories, aid tadly, "What will Washington tbirJr of all this!" Exactly month from that day the British army evaouated Philadelphia, and away thoy sned acroaa Jeraev. with General Waal, intrlnn at tlimr hoels. A day or two alter a body of Amerian troops marched in, com mandou by General Benedict Arnold. All was tfmnged. The red coats had disappcaiod bluo coats were In the ascendant-, and the new Yankoo gon cral was th foremost man in the city. Arnold, a vtin, weak man, ever fond ofdispluy and luxury, appropriated to himself one ol the handsomest bouses in town, where he set up a costly es tablishment, kept a great many ser vants, gave splendid dinners, and maintained a handsome equipago, drawn by four horses a scale of ex- Eense uttorly Incompatible either with is fortune or his psy. No one, bow ever, knew at the lime that, to main tain this costly pomp, he was engaged in speculations unworthy of an officer and a gentleman, and sometimss uxod the publie money that passed through his hands. In inviting his guests, as the patri olio portion of the pooplc remarked wnii aurpriso, no was as likely to se- iwv wiiv-e wiiiirn. iio aoeinou lo court the adherents of the king, and be frequently had at his table the wives and daughters of publio ene mies, who hsd been publicly proscrib ed, and had found refuge with the en- eruy in mew lorg. Among tbe fami cs who attracted his regard was that of Edward Shippen, and he was soon observed to pay particular court to his daughter, Margaret. Arnold was then a widower, thirty-eight years of go, justy twenty years older than the young lady, hro long be formully sked her band from her father, and. ber father consenting, ho addressed the dsughtor, and Iboy were engaged. in tne meantime Arnold bud become odious by bis extravagance, and is insolent, overbearing conduct to the peonlo, that Conirrcas was obliced to take cognizance of the fact. On the very eve of his marriage, he was ordered to be tried by a court martiul. Miss Shippen, however, was true tr lie nfyiremnnt, and married him five days alter. Tho court martial, as ev ery one knows, sentenced him to to reprimanded by Gen.

Sho hs.l not been many days at West Point Then tbe treason was discov ered. ' Arncfd and his wife were seated at the breakfast table, with Hamilton, Lafnyrtte and an aid.

Colonol Hamilton has left us an in teresting account of Mrs. Arnold's de meanor after hor husband's departure. Ho ears sho remained Irantio all day, and accused ovory one who approach ed hor of an intention to murder her child. Sho continued, ho says, to rave until she was utterly exhausted. But Colonol Uurr, in his old ago, was ac customed tosivea vory diUerentao count of the manor.

Ar nold, himself, does not say that she was ignorant of bis intentions to sur render the fortress. In tbe well known letter which ho sent back to General Washington from tho Vulture, be says: "From the humanity of your excel lency, I am induced to ask your pro tection for Mrs. Arnold, from evory in sult and injury that a miatAkon ven geance of my oountry may expose her to. It ought to fall only on me; she is as good and as innocent as an angol and is incapable of doing wrong." The authorities of Pennsylvania be lieved with Burr that she was a trai tress. Her papers were seized, and although nothing was found in them to criminate her, sbe was not allowed to remain kt her father's bouse which she said she desired todo. Herfulher offered to give security that, during the war, sho would write no letters to her husband, and send to tbe govern ment unopened, any letters she might receive from him. His offer was re fused, and they ordered her to depart, and not lo return during the war. Being thon obliged to join hor bus bund in Now York, sbe soon recovered her spirits, and shone in society, to use the languago of tho time, as "a star of tbe first magnitude. In Eng land, too, whither she accompanied hor husband, sho attracted much at tention for her beauty, and was much tlatlered in tory circles. Tbe British government gave Arnold, in compen sation for his American "losses" some thing less than seron thousand pounds a year, which was to be continued as ong as either the husband or wile survived. Thoir family increased in England. Arnold, finding himself ninc!t-d upon an income ol thirteen hundred pounds per annum, went up a trading voyago to llulifax, with what success Is not known.

What Breed of Dairy Cows are the est tor All f urpoaes 7 This is a question often asked, but a difficult one lo answer, unless by tbe sweeping assertion Ibal we want them all. So far as we are ablo to loam, there is no one breed that, as a rule, is possessed of all tbe points desired. Thore may exist Individuals in almost all of the established breeds, that pos soss sll good qualities in a sufficient degree lo answer tbe purposes of the ordinary farmer, but as a race, there aro none that embrace all good quali ties, and every farmer must be gov erned in his choice by his situation. II he aas rich pastures, and oxtan sive corn-fields, and is near a market where the price ol good beef rules high, tho Durham will probably be as near perfection as any that can be obtained. The Shorthorns are great eaters. If they run to milk they give a large 3uanlily of it. If they have a ten ency to fatlon, they fatten with great rapidity. 1 bey grow rapidly, and are capable of carrying an immense load of flesh. Tbcy require the best of care, and the richest of foed,and with this, they will amply repay all out lays. But if allowed lo roam in the public roads and wild pastures in Summer, snd kept on poor bay and mouldy corn fodder in Winter, thoy will in variably prove tho cow tcrub, and the poorest investment, that the farm oan make, The objoction to thorn as duiry cows is, that you -ore not ture whether they will prove to be great leoders, or hall and lialt. ihe remedy is lo feed liberally at all times, and if tbe oowa aro good milkers they will be vory good ones, and If not, they will lattco rapidly, and can be disposed of to good advantage M beef. With a dairy of forty oows, a dozen or so of tho bost hoilur-calts should be raised each year, and ton or a dozen cows fattened each Winter to be sold in the Spring, when the beef commands a very high price. If be keeps Shorthorns, on the sys tem proposed, ho will not receive as much money Irom tho chocso-tactory as if he kept Ayrshircg or nativos. But it is for bim to decide whethor half a dozen or moro fat cows sold every Spring to the butcher, will not make up for the deficiency. On the whole, we would say, if bo has high priced lapd nd proposes to adopt high larming, lake tho Shorthorn ; cows solely to tbe production of milk and butter, take the Ayrshire or Aldorncy. If the location is near a larce city, where milk is the chief objoct, we must have the Ayrshires, as thore is no race tha 1-l pax Afnlihc III quantity of milk; It being generally estimated at from 30 to 50 pounds per day. Our best Ayrshire oows give 00 pounds of milk per day. A committee appointed for the purposo, testified under oath, that one of Messrs. Walcot k Campbell's cows gave 85 pounds of milk per day, for several days in succession- Tbe Ayrshires bavo beep bred ex clusively for milk, and will probably yield a greater quantity for tho food consumed than any other breed. On the other hand, if he proposes to sell beef and raise oxen as well as cheese and butter, we would advocato the Devon. , The Devons, as a race, are thrifty, and with good puslurn, proeent a hand some appearance. The milk is quite rich, and produces butter of a better color than that obtained from the Durham, but the quantity is not large. They aro a quick, active race, and tor farm labor, tho oxoq can hardly bo excelled. They will movp the plow almost, perhaps quite, as fust as the horse. To carry out the latter system of raising cattle for beef, rather than the dairy, to the best advifntage, we must adopt a higher order of feeding than whon the only object is milk. We want cows that will eat a largo amount of food. This is of the very first importance. An animal that, wilf not eat freely should be rejectod. II there is no great demand Or beet, but a large one for good butler, then the Aldurnoy will come as near the standard as any we have. For rich ness ol milk, they have no equal, but, their diminutive size puts beef entire ly out of tho quoslion ; but there is no raco of cattle that can surpass ibem in producing coldon lumps of butter. and plenty of them. A (food butter-maker, with a herd of Aldernoys, will produoe a "fancy brand of butter jthal will command a ready sulo, at double tho prico that can be obtained tor common brands. Good specimens of this stock will make from twolvo lo fourteon pounds of butter por week, of a pocultar yellow color, not attained by any other raco Some extra good cows hsve produced from eighteen to twenty pounds pet week; but this stock is deficient in hoot qualities. We most eurnoslly recommend the use of a ihroughbred bull on all dairy farm. Whethor it should be an Ayrshire, Devon, Aider- ney, or a Short horn, depends vory much on whether mo tiuiry man winnes to turn off some fat cows evory year to tho botcher, or whether ho Intends to keep his cows till they are used up, and then soli them for about what ihey aro worth for their hides. If he adopts the latter course, we should recommend the use of an Alderncy or Ayrshire rather than tho Shorthorn bull. In all seasons duiry furmors are apt to have sn unnecessarily large percentage of barron cows, owing to tho irrational management of tho male unimul. In some districts it is the fashion to ues yearling bulls; whilst to muke matters worse, llicsa woukly, Immature subjects are scandalously overworked. American Stock Journal.
