    below; and as they obeyed him the sound
of the advancing horsemen drew fearfully
near.
' Down with you, Harry—be quick!' ex
claimed the scout; and hurried thus by his
companion, Bodtnan soon stood beside Mary
and her father.
Brady followed, and upon reaching the
ground, hurried forward to a large log lying
in the yard directly in front-of the window,
behind which he ensconced himself, point
ing the muzzle of his rifle towards the
house.
This had scarcely been done before the
troopers reached the house, sprang from
their horses, and in a few moments the
scout saw the head of thrust
from the window. To level and fire, with
the effect already noted, was but thevwork
of an instant; and as the Captain fell
heavily back upon the floor, the tramp of
more horses was heard, and the rebel band
of Marion gallopped to the spot.
CHAPTER VI.
THE FINALE.
The noise of barring doors and securing
the first story windows of the dwelling was
heard for a few moments after the arrival
of the Americans in front of the house, 1
and then all relapsed into silence. The
men of Marion had dismounted and sur
rounded the house, but the shade of the
night was so gloomy where Bodman, Steel
and Mary stood, that they remained undis
covered by either friend or foe.
Ben Brady, the scout, still crouched be
hind the log, with the muzzle of the gun
directed towards the window out of which
he had escaped, within the room of which
the light was still burning.
Suddenly the moon was covered by a
cloud, and darkness rested like a pall upon
everything around. Then the voice of
Brady rose gradually on the air, as he ex
claimed :
* Hist, Hodman—come this way, and
bring the girl and her lather with you.—
Quick, as the moon will soon be out again.'
Hodman grasped Mary by the arm, and
glided from the shade of the house, but
had scarcely proceeded twenty steps when
the muzzles of two carbines were thrust
out of the window and pointed toward them
in the gloom, while the dusky figures of
the troopers who held them were plainly
discernible within the apartment.
The rifle of Brady was raised in the
twinkling of an eye, and the three pieces
belched forth their contents together. A
wild shriek instantly Tang upon the air, and
that voice of agony was recognized by every
rebel soldier as belonging to Mary Steel.
There was an instantof death-like silence,
again broken by the wails of the wounded
girl, but this time they were drowned by
the yells of vengeance which, burst from
the lips of Marion's men, as, like so manv
bloodhounds, they rushed to the assault.
4 Spare not a man shouted a well-known
musical voice, rising high above the din
and tumult of the conflict. 1 Death to our
oppressors!'
4 Down with the British—on !'
And the sound of heavy blows falling
upon every door, was mingled with the
sharp crack of rifles and the curses of the
combatants, as the assault progressed.
In the midst of the conflict, and ere an
entrance had been gained, Harry Bod man,
followed by Bei. Brady, suddenly appear
ed before Marion.
4 A dozen of men!' said the youth
hoarsely.
4 For what V
' There is an unguarded way into the
cellar by the spring-house.'
A shout from Marion brought the requi
• number of men around him; and they
■; lowed Bod man and Brady to the place of
entrance. A narrow passage led from the
spring-house to the cellar, and in a few
minutes the party stood within the build
ing. It was the work of but an instant
for Bodnian to find the stairs, up which
they carefully ascended to the cellar; it
was not fastened, and passing through it
they stood in the hall which led to the
outer door of the building. It was as
dark as pitch, and they could not discover
a man, but could hear the steps of several
besides themselves near the end of the hall,
where crash after crash came against the
door, fairly making every thing creak as
the heavy blows descended to the panels.
4 Follow me up stairs,' muttered Bodman
in a low tone j and silently they groped
their way to the second story.
As they reached the top of the stairs,
the light shone out from the room where
the carbines had been discharged, and they
hurried to the door, hive troopers stood
prepared for conflict within the apartment,
while two dead bodies lay stiff upon the
floor.
To discharge a volley into the room
which killed every trooper, was the work
ola moment, and then rushing forward,
Lrady thrust a candle into the window,
and uttered a loud well-known shout. It
was answered by twenty men, and in a few
moments several of Marion's men had
mounted the ladder into the room.
e remainder ol the contest was of
short duration. The British fell to a man,
while scarcely an American suffered in the
strife.
The wound received by Mary Steel
turned out not to be mortal • and shortly
after her recovery, which happened subse
quent to the attack, she became the wife
oi Harry Bodman; and for many years af
terwards, two old tin panniers, surmounted
by a black cap, could be seen upon the
mantel piece of their front room—being
the same carried on that memorable even
ing by the REBEL PEI>LER.

B£ftFornoy's Philadelphia Press, in an ar
ticle on the election, says:
"We need net take into consideration the vote
thrown for Mr. Ilazlehurst, because it is man
ifest that if the Democratic party is true to
itself, all this vote will henceforward be en
rolled under our banner."
The side-door News pretends to kick against
this, but does so very feebly—in fact it avows
its readiness to fall in with the locofucos, if
the latter will only consent to call themselves
straightouts.
Philadelphia papers of Monday
report the proceedings of a meeting of Ger
mans held in a lager beer saloon on Sunday
afternoon. The principal speaker denounced
railroads particularly as all insolvent, and
then averred they must give them work or
bread, or there would be a fight. The best
thing our government could do with the navy
at present would be to transport these turbu
lent spirits, whether Dutch or Irish back to
their fatherlands, where, instead of wheat
bread, they could again live on oat meal and
sourkrout.
SuWe find the following in the New York
papers:
" A few months since, a partner of a com
mercial house in New York was taken to a
lunatic asylum, utterly deranged, as was said,
by his unparalleled prosperity in business.
During the year previous, his firm had cleared
$1,300,000. He died in the asylum, and his
own estate wavs valued at $2,500,000, all in
vested in the concern of which he was a part
ner. The firm itself failed the other day,
and is now said to be utterly insolvent. Otie
item of the assets of the deceased's estate was
one thousand shares of the Illinois Central
Railroad stock, which was selling at the time
of his decease, at $l4O a share, and which
was worth, after paying up the iuaulfents,
The same property sold lately at
public sale at $50,000. All this occurred
within eighteen months—the prosperity, the
insnnity, the decease, and the insolvency."

LOCAL AFFAIRS.
GHOICK PUMPKINS.— During the past season
Mr. F. J. Hoffman introduced the Kershaw
Pumpkins into this neighborhood, a number
of which be has now on hand at his store for
sale at low prices by the dozen. They are of
his own raising aud embrace some very fine
specimens—one of them somewhat in the
shape of a horse shoe, measures 4 feet 2 inch
es in length, and weighs 23J pounds.
LOOK OUT FOR THEM. —The Harrisburg Tel
egraph notices the arrival there of several
professional beggars, who will no doubt also
visit this region. They are all provided with
" papers," signed by fictitious personages,
testifying to the meritorious character of the
applicants. One of the party represents
himself to be a sailor, whose vessel was ship
wrecked at some high-sounding place exist
ing only in his imagination. Another claims
to have been one of the rescued steerage pas
sengers of the ill-fated Central America,
while a third states that he was one of Gen.
Walker's "fillibusters." Of course, these as
sertions are a pack of arrant lies, but being
testified to by a number of signatures, in
connection with the piteous looking features
of the applicants themselves, they are well
calculated to deceive.
As from appearances every community will
have enough to do this winter in aiding their
own poor, we hope all will carefully oxamine
into these foreign cases before they aid them
in their rascality. If they have homes, they
ought to stay there—if none, they ought to
be sent to the poor house.
COLTS KILLED. —On Monday night last, we
learn from the Democrat, seven 3 year colts,
the property f Gen. John Boss, were .. ; lled
by the down lightning train, and auother so
badly injured as to render it unfit for use.—
They were confined in an inelosure, and had

Hollmcay's Pills. —Liver diseases of all
kinds tend to the destruction of that organ.
Sometimes it is reduced to a mere shell, which
a blow would break up, before the disorder
kills the patient. Surety none but a madman
would neglect such a complaint until the fa
tal crisis arrived, when he had at his com
mand an unfailing remedy. Holloway's Pills
produce a more potent effect upon the liver
than any other medicinal compound, vegeta
ble or mineral. The symptoms of bilious
maladies are yellowness of the eyes and skin,
pain in the right side, and, in remittent ca
ses, chills and fever. Any human being thus
afflicted may cure himself within ten days by
taking Holloway's Pills in conformity with
the directions.
wsr\ very severe case of Sore Eyes, of 5
years' standing, was cured by the use of Da
1 all's Galranic Oil. It is one of the most
soothing and pain quieting agents that can
be had. In Krysipe'as of the face, it will
often remove the pain in ten minutes.
