It was the 24th of;June. The weather was very warn], and the sun, at times-obscured by clouds, all the signs of the sky indicating a common_ ram-storm. For the •last, five miles we had followed a sort of wagon track through the woods, keeping, a sharp look outfor the enetny,,of whom we saw no signs. It must have been a, little past 12 o'clock when we came out of`the woods into.a., cleared field of six or seven acres, .with another similar field, separated from the first by a fence, in the furthest corner of which second field stood the leg cab. in of a, settler. From the first of those clearings, between the second field and the woods, ran a rough, sort of lane, fenced on ,both sides with a good _strong-worm fence., .The column, con tainingsabout .75Q ,men, entered the lane, and we began to think a halt would,be ordered and the rnen ed to rest and refresh themselves dur ing the extreme heat of the day,.--- But in this we were doomed to dis -appointment. Just, asthe rear of the celumn had becetne enclosed between the two fenees,,in the lane, a shower ,of bullets,came from the woods., kill ing and wounding several of ow... Alien. For a little ,while there was great con fusion, and the men stood bewildered, not knowing what to do, • though we ha.d.all been under fire often, enough to be, in a measure, considered vete rans. We .wer„ then ordered to -re treat to the first clearing, and about the first thing saw., after • turning round, was Major Isaac D. Barnard trying,to get loose from his horse Which had been shot under him, ;the poorbrute ,kieking fearfully in : the agonies of death. - .Retreating to the middle of the field we formed in line, but as yet no enemy was• to be seen. Still the fire from the woods seemed to increase fearfully in weight. Ina short time the Indians came up to the fence in great nu.mbers, a few of them actually coming over it into the field These soon found tixeinselves•in a hot place and made tracks a,gain . for the woods. We were then ordered to attack ,them in the woods, and we charged upon them like perfect dev ilspthe ripe, red strawberries, of the clearing woeful', crushing beneath our feet at every step. All-this time I had no sensation =of fear; the prevailing idea was; I should like to stop and eat some of the,, her, ries., But such thoughts did notlast long.' Just as I came to the fence many of rissaw.a sight which filled us all with a desire for vengeanee.-- A short time before, at, the _storming of Fort,George, a ritish officer. had fallen: Qua of our men, a•very pop.

For this reason I cannot tell how long wg fought, in the-woods, bat judging from , the general course of events, when ~I next became sensible of the hour,* must have heen some considerable" time. Bo this•as it may, a.comrade aimed Wilkinson and my. self had roused ; up two Indians who discharged, their rifles at-us and ran. We gave chtife, and when a favorable chance presented itself, fired; both In d ians , fell,- tio whether they were hit, or whether i. was only a feint to. draw Us still furtlior on, we could not, tell. While we.wqre thus engaged,,ort, on dor to retre4 to the. clearing +had been giveuand obeyed by all except us two. After-our last shot -1 men tioned to Wilkinson that we-werel...he only Americans in the woods and it was time. toi.go. Off we started_to. gether, but he:twos. so much :fleeter Alien 1, andtbitei , ,woods so thick, that I soon loot,sight of him. TraVeling on towards the sound of the firing as fast as I could; 4, had arrived at - a point about one .hundred and.-:fifty yards from the fence, beyond which 1 could get glimpses of, our men stand ing in the field. and shooting, towards the woods, wlir I saw, standing .he hind a large tree, about forty yards ahead - of ale, a tall.lndian in the, act , of ,loading his rifle. .:..I jumPedbehind . a tree and rediskin evidently heard me, for he stopped pading and ignit ed' round . ,eery, , cautiously. I think he made up hip mind at last it was one of their own 1:11 on, for he present ly resumed - the work of forcing down his bullet. My first thought was to fire ; the second, I.:Miss he can was . loading 'before I . can load again and then I will: be at his mercy. I waited till he was don e and took, aim; , mid'as he imed• so did I. 'Waiting till 'I heard the crack of his piece, I fired-, and - muit.have sbOt him right through the heart,Tor he bounded up nearly his own height and fell 'dead as, a stone.. I 'Walked to, and stood clOSe - besido bitii - while 1 put another lmyoad in' 104ot - Just as I was returning the ramrod 'felt -as though a man had pushed his finger forcibly against the thiclc part of my thigh.— I tatmediately..started at a. run . and reached the feqe without further ac cident, but as f . Acr threw. my right leg over the top fund that my panta. loons on tha t tug/were stiturated 'w ith 'bleed. I 'got -•oir the fence, took a step or two .forward and fa inted.-- How long I lay there of course I can not form any idea.. When• I revived I got' upon my feet, but could, not stand. I then began to crawl en my i hands and towards our line, for ', by this,timel Ittv the Indians ware „elyirmr again nearly: u. • eet.o. as the fence in some measure,kept me out of their sight, 1 did welt enough, but the instant it no longer served for a cover, a regular shower of balls whistled around me. .Itly canteen had one hole through it, my cap two, and myolethes were cut, in several places, but my skin, remained untouched.-- While in this. condition I was seen -by. Col. Boerstler, who - came to me en 'foot. As he was about to raise me... 1 reached for my musket, but he took it from me and broke it to pieces over a stump. Few will believe it c btitthe hiss-of my musket wag - a, far greater bourn of sorrow to me' than my wound. But there •was not much time for feeling - of••any--sort. 'The Col. whose strength seemed equal to -that of a giant, picked me up in his arms; ran with me to a place where a tree had been bloivn down, and laid Me in the' hole left, by the roots. - I had not leen here long, till the doc tor, with two men, came to tne. The doctor cut offihe leg of my trousers and wrapped, a flannel rag, dipped in whiskey round the woun4. I• wen then" . carried' to a baggage Wagon, which contained nothing but a- barrel of Whiskey, on one side of which I was seated. I did not wait long for company. In a feW minutes` Captain 11 , 1!Chegney - was brought in, wounded in the arm, and in the course of half an hour more than the wagon was filled. During this time the firing went on, the _lndians evidently . afraid to come to anything like close quarters. At last our ammunition gave out, add - our troops could* nb longer re turn their fire.' A council of the of. ficers was heldiso it was said, and the plan` eficipted of - "fighting our way bat* at the point of 'the 'bayonet. While 'all this was going on; I sat peeping out under the Wagon cover, wondering how the matter would end. While thus angagbd, r my eye caught sight of a British `officer, splendidly Mounted', waving a White, handker chief on the point of his sword. In a moment afterwards he was speak ing.to the Colonel Boerstler, and as I after Wards learned represented 'to him that escape or victory Wera, to us alike impossible, the foreasarround ing us being far too numerous' for us to cope with any 'way. Soon after this I saw Col. Boerstler leave the Englishmen with the other offibers, and Walk toWards the two wa,„(rons which were now full of wounded.— He appeared very sad and cast 'down. Poi. a moment or two 'be stood ap parently in deep thought, then rous ing himself, 'came and lifted the Wag on covers and counted-the -number Of wounded. After looking at- us for perhaps a minute, he saki. as though he was:talking co himself, "Poor fel lows, if it wasn't for You I would nay er sicrrender,", ile'then went back to the reel-eoat, who soon rode away, re appearing a. few minutes afterwards t thahead of about three imidredßrit ish' do iers. to ,Whom the regibient surFendesed. its arms.

TRUE STORY OF THE REVOLUTION Just at, the close of the Revolution ary war, there , was:seen somewhere in one of the small towns of , central MassaChusetts, a: ragged .and forlorn looking soldier coming up- the..dusty street. He looked .about onthe corn fields tasseling for the harvest, on the bright patches of wheat for the sickle, and on the-greenp c dtiato with Carious eyes,—so atfleast,thought Mr. Towne, who was walking-leisure ly behind him, going home from the reaping to his supper. The latter was a stout farmer, dressed in home made brown,linen. trowsers, without suspenders, vest or coat. The ragged soldier stopped,under the shade of a great sugar maple, and Mr. Towne overtaking him, stopped also. "Heine from the wars?" he asked. "qust,out of the British clutches," repliedthe mani, 'Tye been a pris oper for years." He „rejoined end denly, "Can you tell me who lives in the next house? Is it yours?" •. "No," replied Towne, "Tompkins lives there. That_hotise and •farm used to belong to a comrade of yours, as I suppose; his llama was ;Tones, but he waEi,shot at Bunker Hill, and his widow married again." The soldier leaned against the tree. "What kind of a man is be ? 1 mean what kind of people are they there ? Would they . be likely to let a poor soldier have something to eat?" "If Tompkins is oat, you'A be treat ed. first•rat'e there: 14irs.

She• went and looked from the window uneasily; but the soldier, gave no token of Ails meal coming to an end, "No* he is pouring vinegar on the cold cabbage and potatoes.- 1 can't ask him ,to take those away in his hand. Oh dear, how slow he is ! hasn't the man ,any teeth." At last she said mildly, "I am very sorry to, hurry you, sir; but couldn't you let me spread some bread and butter, and cut.you some slices of meat to talre - 'aWaY with you. My husband will use-abusive language to you if he finds you here." Before the soldier could reply, foot steps were.heard on the door-stone at the back door, and a man entered.— Re stopped short, and looked at the soldier as a savage dog might look.— Then he broke out in a tone between a growl arid a roar. "Hey-day, Molly, a pretty piece of business!-- What have I told you time and again,fmadam ? 'You'll find you had better mind your master. And you.,,you- lazy, thieving vagabond, let me see you clear out of my house and and off of,my land a good deal quick er than you came on the 'premises !" ".Your house ! and your land !" ex claimed the soldier, starting suddenly up, erect - and tall, and dashing off his hat with a quick, fiery gesture. Ills eyes flashed like lightning, and his lips quivered with indignation as he confronted' the astonished Tompkins. The latter was afraid of him, and his wife had' given a 'sudden, nervous shriek- when the soldier first started to his feet and flung off his hat, and had sunk trembling and half-fair,ting in a chair, for she recognized . him. "You hain't any business to inter fere between me and my wife," said TOMpkink sulkily, cowed by the atti• trade of the soldier. "Yourwife!" exclaimed the soldier, with the very concentration of con tempt expressed -in his voice, and pointing to him with an indignant finger. "Who arc you ?" asked Tompkins, with an air of effrontery. "I am Harry Jones, since you ask," replied the soldier, - "the owner of this house, and this land, Which you will leave this very hour! As for Molly," softening his tone as he turned to the woman, now sobbing hysterically, "She shall choose between tis:" "0 Barry sobbed she, while Tompkins stood dumb with astonish ment, "take me,, save me r With one step he was at .her side, holding bar hig„arms., "What.,did you mean, treating-this poor child so? Did you think because she had no earthly protector that there was not a God in heaven against you?" .No man who is cruel to a woman is ever truly brave, and Tompkins slunk away likea beaten sprniel. The next day hadeot-passell away before everybody, in the? town knew that Harry Jones .had come home . alive and well , to rescue his much en-. during,. patient wife from a worse constraint than that of a British pris on ;—but what they all said, and what Harry said, and what Molly felt, .1? must leave you to imagine, for here the legend ends. ORIGIN Or THE HAT. We owe the bat as we owe most of our manufactures to Asia. It was in Asia that, men flint learned: the art of felting Wool, so as to compose the substratum of the fabric. Wool so long as it contains the natural yolk or animal grease refases to felt—that is,. its fibres wilt not mat together Vertiotr A FAMILY PAPER FORTOWN AND 00IIN-TRY, IS PRINTED AND PUBLISHED WEEKLY By WM.

In Penneylvailia, out of Lebanon countyl 3% cents pet quarter, or 13 'rants a year. Out of this State, 634 eta. per quarter, or 26 eta. a year If the postage is not paid in advance, rates are doubled. into a compact and close-grained mass such as constitute felt. When the yolk has been extracted by a chemi cal process, the wool has a tendency to interlace its fibres, and to adhere firmly to the union thus formed ; and from a very remote period this secret was possessed by the Orientals. The hats which are constantly alluded to in Scripture--those, for instance, which were bound upon the heads of Shadraeh and Abednego, when they were cast into the Assyrian, furnace —were genuine hats, but probably adorned by turban cloths wound about them. I have seen the self. same hats—tall, narrow cylinders of' gray felt, surrounbed by a handker- chief or cloth—on the heads of the Jews of Asia. 'Nor was the use of the hat a Hebrew monopoly. The KUrds, Persians, Armenians and some tribes of Turks and Tartars wear the hat, as their fathers did in Saladin's day. The hif, , lriamb'srool bonnet of the Persian is but a brimless hat, With a nap of exancrated roughness. The Nestorian Christians of Kurdis tan wear hats almost exactly similar to a battered Irish caubeen, only of a brown or dirty white color. Through out the East, the dervishes and wand ering Talcirs.may be known by the tali narrow hat of light hued felt, adorn ed.by a greasy rag, and towering up ward like a chimney-pot. DR HAYES AND THE NORTH POLE. Dr. Hayes has been unfortunate.— He started gallantly to achieve what Dr. Kane had left unconsummated. He enlisted an enterprising crew_, and he has no doubt done all that a brava man could accomplish. But he only reached a point between eighty-one. and eighty-two degrees of latitude. The points reached by former nay. igators were as follows : Lord Mulgrave 80 deg. 48 min. Hudson 81 deg. 30 min. Scoresby 81 deg. 30 min. Kane (Morton) 82 deg. 27. min. 82 deg. 45 mill.. Franklin 84 deg. 34 min.- It was the plan of Dr. Hayes to en ter Sinith's Sound, and sail up the . west coast as far as possible, and then either by'sledge or boat attempt to reach the open sea around the. Pole. It was supposed that the climate of the west coast of Smith's Sound was milder than that of the east coast, and that it was by that route par ex cellence that the Pole could be reached.. But it was the misfortune of Dr. Hayes when he reached Smith's Sound: to find its mouth firmly frozen over. 1)r. Kane, it will be remembered, en tered Smith's Sound, and was then , frozen fast. But Dr. Hayes could not enter. Ho, therefore remained an other year, awaiting the effect of an other summer. But the Barrier re mained closed. He, therefore, tried sledging over the ice. But this, for long distances, is severe work, and they gave in, as we said, at a point; between eighty-one aed eighty-two degrees. It thais 'appears that Sir John Franklin has reached nearly ly two degrees nearer the poles than any other explorer. • We 'cannot - forbear syinpathizing with Dr. Hayes, and would fain put him aright before the public. There . are some thinge that human power cannot accomplish. It would seem• essential to. any favorable progress by Smith's S'ound toward the _North Pole, that that Sound should be open. to vessels at some point in the sum mer. In another words it seems too. far for any human beings to make their way by sledge from below 'the . mouth of Smith's Sound to the pole.- If advantage could be taken of a fa vorable moment to pass the mouth of the Sound, and pierce by water to the 83d or 84th degree of latitude, thew by sledge or boat the Pole might be reached, for there are many facts go-. ing to show that the limit of extreint, cold is some degrees below the Pole.- `Mr. Lamout, a Scotehman, accom panied by Lord David Kennedy, went a summer or two since, to hunt sea horses in Spitzbergen. Mr. Lamount has published a very interesting ac count of their voyage, called "seasir'': with the Sea-horses." They bad tw, vessels, the yacht Ginevra, end the "jalit," or sloop "Anna Louisa," which they obtained at Hammerfest, which is by the way further north than any town in Europe. They were very suc cessful in the object of their voyage,. having killed 46 walruses and 88 seals, 01 reindeer, besides 8:polar bears and a white whale. They have some claim, therefore, to be heard about the Arc tic discovery... Mr. Lamont differs from Dr. Kane about an open Polar sea. His opin ion ie that for six hundred miles a round the Pole there is nothing but solid ice, unless there may happen to be some frozen land. But he thinks at the same time that the Polo might be reached from Spitzbur gen over the ice by sledge, "if there were sufficient inducements to make the attempt." Most people certainly would be more interested in thin than spending a summer in killing seals and walrusses. From the extreme north of Spitz. bergen, it is only, he says six hundred miles to the Pole. Hisplan would be to go there in the summer with Alen- typf.sledges and dogs, select a shel• tered , harbor, and pass the, summer in killing - Reindeer. od . wild fetil for the men, and .fiVidrallaS and seals for the dogs.
