I The Arlington mansion anil surrounding estate will forever continue tolx* a spot of profound Interest to the American people. It wus m this mansion that lived for more Him liiill’h century the lust recognized representative of the family ot the leather of his Country, and it is in the shadow, of the mansion that he and the companion of his long wedded life are sid** by side resting in their last sleep. It was here Unit for many years were deposited a largo number of the most precious of the family relics from Mount Vernon ; it was here that re sided, when (he great rebellion dawned, the distinguished United Slates military ollieer who reluctantly embarked with his native Stipe against his country, abandon ing h;s magnificent inheritance, and be came the great military chieftain of**<‘the 10*1 cause.” There is another reason, now over shadowing all others, will d.%111 forever aitraet the homage, and the aching memo ries al-o, of the country to this consecrated spot. Around this mansion two hundred acres have been dedicated as a great na tional cemetery, a ml beneath its soil already are sleeping the mangled forms ol many thousands who surrendered up their lives lbr thejr country on the sanguinary I ; <• 1 1 1. We noted at length in our eolumtisuyear ago the history and condition of ibis <<*iate ; but it will be not wholly without inlerestto recur again to the subject. Many persons have the impression that the Arlington e.-lnie was once the properly of < 1 ciierul Washington, and that Ceorgo Washington Parke Custis was a blood con nection, neither of which impressions is Inn*; though even in the columns ol the InU'.tliijc.ncf.r, when Mr. U’uslih died in ls.'»7, i: vv.t* represented ihal the Arlington prop ci'iy dii| come to the deceased by will from l la* *' Kin her of hi * Country.” The estate (Mine to hi in from bis own father, and was called Arlington in memory of his great grandfather, lion. John Custis, a icing’s counsellor, ami whose estate on the Kustoni •Shore, in Northampton county, wa* known as Arlington. Those familiar with Vir ginia history will remember that Henry Karl of Arlington, whose daughter was the Wife of the soil of Charles 11., by Uudv < 'iiHileinaine, and who was regard) d as the best bred gentleman at the royal court, was grunted by that htvi*h and prolligate Sove reign of i'highiml, in 1676, in connection with Hon!

The lot-, for which lie paid on an average SMH> each, were all loealed east of the <’ajHtol, and proved ut terly worthless, leaving him in his last days in comparative poverty. The early resi dence of Mr. Law was the house on New .Jersey avenue, south of the Capitol lout; oc cupied by the Const Survey. Bidiop Car lisle was not the author of Law's Serious Call, as has been ofmn limes in this ron nexioii erroneously slated. Martha Parke was the wife of Thomas Peter, and Fleanor Parke became the wife of Major Lawrence Lewis, Washington’s favorite nephew. Nelly and her husband inherited by the will of Washington a magnificent scat— more than two thousand uere-i from the Mount Vernon estate—ou which they erect ed a spacious brick mansion, at a cost of two, in I*o2, and made it their elegant home for nearly half a century. About 1848 they sold this home and moved to (Murk county upon another inheritance. In that seclusion, Mrs. Lewis, once the beau tiful and accomplished Nelly, the pride and captivation of Mount Vernon, died in her seventy-fourth year, and her remains slum ber by the side of the Mount Vernon tomb, and near the remains oi her husband, Major Lewis, wlm died a few years later while on u visit to Arlington House. Mr. Cusps was married soon ufler he was at his majority to Miss Mary Lee Fit/.lmgh, of Chatham, Vu., and, leaving Mount Ver non immediately ufler tho death of Mrs. Washington, took up his residenco on Ar lington Heights with his youthful and cul tivated wile, and there kept a hospitable ulid delightful home for more than lilty years, Mrs. Custis dying in 1853, and Mr. Cuslis in 1857. The .Arlington House was commenced •while the north wing of the Capitol was building, or about (ho time of its comple tion, in 1 suit, and in some sort was modelled after that wing. When the south wing of the Capitol was commenced, in ISUM, the •south wing of Arlington Motive was aNo commenced, and tor many year* the-c iwo wings >iood apart till the central buiiuing of Lhcf'npitol wascummencod, in IKIK, and then the corner-stone of the central build ing of the Arlington House was laid on the same day. This eccentric piece of history is furnished us by a resident of this city, and one familiar with family matters. The fruits of Mr. Custis’s marriage were four daughters, allof whom died in infancy except Mary Cuslis, the wife of < ieneral Robert K. Leo. Mrs. Custis’s mother was a Miss Randolph, of Chatham, and the an cieut grave in the brick enclosure near tin* Arlington House, with the stone inscribed Mary Randolph, marks the resting-place of the member of that famil}", whose name is borne by Mrs. Lee as it was by her Another. “The Washington treasures of Arling ton” were taken South by < ieneral Lee, in 1801. Among them were the original three quarter length portrait of Mrs. Washing ton, hy Woolaston, from which the engrav ing in Spark’s Life of Washington was made; tho original portrait of Washington, hy Trumbull; of Martha Custis and Daniel 'Parke Custis, Mrs. Washington’s two chil dren ; also, the portrait, by Stuart, of “Nelly Custis,” and the portrait, by Knellor, ol Hon. John Custis; crayon protile sketches of Washington and his lady; and several other line family portraits, sculpture, medalious, Ac. Mr. ('list is was himselfunamateurartist, and among other pieces he painted four bailie scenes—Trenton, Princeton, German town, and Monmouth—and two Revolu tionary pictures' “Washington at York town,” and “ Washington at the Surrender of Yorktown.” Several of these curious • works of art still’hang in the hall of the Arlington House, with men represented as tall us trees, and the heads of the war charges towering near the clouds. The mansion is now occupied by the ollicer in charge oi the cemetery, and bv the chaplain on duty there, with his family, and is altogether a dilapidated and desolated habitation.

There have bc*n already do posited within its enclosure the remains of i»,if)S white soldiers, ami 2,670 colored por sons—a part of them soldiers. Perhaps thirty of the two hundred acres have been tlius occupied. The remains of thu colored people occupy one corner of the grounds, and those of the white soldiers tho coruer diagonally opposite. Tho grounds are pro jected into sections, blocks, and ranges, und the graves neatly sodded, with pine und black-walnut headboards painted while, and lettered in black, with the name, com pany, and dale ot death. Occasionally a marble slab marks the sleeping pluce of one whose comrades have thus remembered him with a special testimonial. Here und there, upon pine tablets, erected at intersections of paths, are painted wretched verses of a mournful nature. We saw but one verse that was not distressing as poetry, ami this was distigured with a grammatical blunder. It is as follows: '* These faithful herald tablets, With mournful pride, shall tell, When many a vanished age hath flown, Tin* story how he fell; Nor wret k, nor change, nor wlnler’sblight, N'*r time'* remorseless (loom •hall mar one ray of glory’s light 'hut gilds your [hl.sj deathless tomb.

In Hie midst of these sol ers’ graves stands a small wooden etc osure, painted white, within which rise e two. unpretending marble columns arking tlie resting place of George Wash- ington Parke ustis, and of his wile, Mary Lee Fitzhugh. When the declaration of war tirst swept over this place these me morials of the honored dead were seques lered in n delightful grove which had been selected for their sleeping place by those whose names are inscribed on the memo- rials. That grove, with its lofty oaks, has heen 4 swept down, and a field of broad acres with scarce tree or shrub to cast a shadow, is spread all over with seven thousand sol- diers’ graves. The magniticent growth of oak running down the heights on the river side of tin? mansion has been fortunately saved from the blasts of war, and n fine carriageway winds from thomiaiu travelled river road through a broad gateway up the precipitous heights, and circuitously down and out again through another uvenue. The two hundred acres are enclosed with a solid, well-finished wooden fence, painted white, with the caps of the posts painted black. 'There are about ninety men at work in this cemetery at present, one-third of them being colored. M'he National Cemeteries are under tho charge ol Brevet Lieutenant Colonel James M.

There isacemoiery also at Fortress Monroe, at Hampton, at Petersburg, at Richmond, and at Winchester, in Virginia. There are three burying parties at work around Richmond, oue in front of Rich- mond, and one at each of the following places: Coal Harbor, front of Petersburg at Anlietam a private party, to which the Government has already furnished (5,000 coffins, in the Valley, Dear Winchester, at Bull Run, a party traversing the country between this city and Bull Run, and u party has just been sent to Cedar Mountain. The coffins for all these parties are made by the Governmeut in this city.

The Caledonia Tront Found One of thegreatestcurlosltiesof West ern New York—we may almost say one of the greatest in the world—ls the trout breeding establishment of Seth Green, In Caledonia, In Livingston county, to which we paid a brief visit last week. His house and ponds are on the border of the stream called the Caledonia Springs, which flow in a vast volume of the purest water from a hollow In the village of Caledonia, and after a course of a mile unites in the village of Mumford with Allen’s creek, one ol the tributaries of the Genesee. The coun try through which It flows Is thickly settled, and one of the richest and best farming towns in the State. The sur face of the land is quite level, with banks but little above the surface of the water. The stream, some places, is very rapid, and In others has a gentle current of a mile or more per hour. The Springs, as now situated, cover übout six acres, being dammed slightly for mining purpose. They ufl'ord about eighty barrels of water per second, and make a creek from three to four rods wide, aud from eighteen Inches to six feet deep, according to the current. The bottom was covered with small white sheila and gravel. The water. Is clear, pure and perfectly transparent, so that any object can be seen for three or four rods very distinctly. Its temperature ut the Springs is forty-eight degrees the whole year rouud, but down the creek, three-quarters of a mile, it rises in the hottest days in summer to flfty-eight degrees by night, but it is down in the morning to tiity-two degrees. In win ter it settles at times to forty-three de grees, but geuerully it keeps up to forty- Sve or forty-six degrees. The tempera' ture of the water to Allen's creek is very even the year rouud, but very cold in summer and qune warm in the winter, never freezing in the coldest weather. The water through the whole length of tile creek, as well us every stone, stick, weed aud blade of grass, is alive and literally covered with numerous Insects aud larvic of flies, summer und wiuler, so that the trout, however num erous they are, easily obtain all the food they want at all times of the year. There is but very little surfuce water that mukes into the creek, hence the volume of water is very eveu. The tirst Hettlers of the country found the creek literally fllled with trout of great size and beauty, and it lias remained so to tills day, notwithstanding it bus been almost constantly ig.. , >- well as day, from that time to tins. The largest aud linest trout ure taken in the evening with a large artificial white or gray miller. Tlio number of trout In tills stream of a mile in length iscoiuputed ulupwurds of 300,0110, Hie largest of which are each four or live pounds in weight. Aboul four thousand pounds of trout ure taken from the creek yearly. Mr. Ainsworth, of West iilouiulleld, to whose excellent article published lu the Tribune last winter we are indebted for these statis- tics, says Unit on Lliu 18th of December, 18(15, lie took witli the fly a hundred aud ten line trout ill about three hours, and on the next day took eighty live splendid fellows from one place. These trout, he says, were as fat, active aud gurney as he ever saw them in any other stream in May urjuue. Seth Green, tlie celebrated marksman aud fly thrower of this city, bought this creek in 1854, for the purpose of growing trout artificially, as well as naturally, ou an extended scale. He has since prepared ponds, races, hatch houses and hatching-boxes and troughs for 8,000,000 of spawn. The pond containing the largest, iisli and principal spawners was tirst constructed. A strong volume of water passes through it from tlie main stream, the quantity received and discharged being so regu lated that there is no danger of over flowing. It enters under a wheel which is so exactly fitted to its place that not the smallest fish can escape, and main tains a regular motion. This pond is seventy-five feet long, twelve feet wide and four or five feet deep. Mr. Green’s dwelling is over the lower end of this pond, which affords shade and a hiding place for the trout when they choose to retire from view. There are from eight to ten thousand fish in this poud, and water enough for fifty times that number. A great deal of food passes through to them from the stream, but they are fed every day witli beef liver chopped fine, to which they rush iu the most excited manner, leap ing out of the water, and tugging vo raciously two or three at a time at the same piece. They are so tame that they will take the liver from a spoon or even from the baud, and will even bite the hand itself, as we can testify from the sharp experience of their teeth. To a lover of fish no finer sight can be presented thau thesightof this pond, swarming with splendid trout, as plain ly visible, so clear is the water, as if they were in the open air. It is a gi gantic aquarium, which probably has no rival iu the world, and the mere sight of which will repay the trouble and expense of a long journey. But besides this main pond Mr. Green has another close by it fifty by thirty feet, which contains about 20,G0D two year old trout, and still another, filled with countless multitudes of yearlings, and lastly, a long poud or brook, in which are hundreds of thousands of this year’s hatching. The hutching house is a simple, inex pensive structure of wood, forty by twenty feet high, it has three screened windows, admitting a soft light, and excluding the glare of the sun. Being roofed, the spawn and young trout are perfectly protected from storms of hail, which iu shallow water might in one minute destroy thousands of young trout, or a heavy and sudden fall of rain might wash them from the troughs where they are kept for several weeks after leaving the hatching troughs.— These are three in number. The water is brought from the main stream through bored logs and received into a tank six feet long, two feet eight inches wide, and a foot and a half deep, from win l nee it passes through six struiti ers into u trough running entirely across the end of the house, and from theuce by small gates (which are regulated at pleasure to increase or diminish the flow of water) it passes into the several hatching troughs, Ac. These troughs are subdivided, or rather two are placed together, aud between them are pas- sages for conveniently distributing the spawn, inspecting the operation of feed ing and hatching the young fish. By wooden bars the troughs are partitioned into small squares. By this arrangement the force of the current is checked at each bar, and the front are prevented from huddling in a mass and becoming suffocated. The space on one side is a platform, having a stove and the various conveniences for feeding, Ac. At one end is a pond eighteen feet square, with about two feet depth of water. If by any means trout escape from the troughs, they cannot get beyond the poud, and the room is ample for keeping millions until they ar.* two or three inches long. From this pond thfe water passes into the main stream. The hatching house and troughs, though not extensive, are fulfilling the highest anticipations of their persevering and enterprising pro prietor. The bottom of the trough is covered with small, thin gravel, over which the water passes by gentle flow. Thus prepared, they are ready for the reception of the impregnated spawn, which are spread evenly over the gravel tyy a dextrous movement of the water, the spawn not being touched or allowed to come in contact with anything but the water and gravel. Impregnated spawn sink to the bottom, in water run ning with considerable force, and will remain stationary, if undisturbed, until the young fish begin their efforts for a release from* confinement. In from fif teen to twenty-six day's after the spawn is deposited, the young fish' is discerni ble with the naked eye.— Syracuse Journal .

LANCASTER, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 7 1866 Tbe History of tbe Killing; of Miss Jane McCrea Daring the Revolutionary War. The New York Journal of Commerce , in referring to the ninth volume of Ban croft's History of the United which has just made its appearance, takes occasion to remark on the unreliability of history generally, and refers to Mr. Bancroft’s account of the killing of Miss Jane McCrea during the Revo lutionary War, to show that uncertainty of history attaches to Bancroft’s as to all similar productions. The Journal of Commerce refers to that melan choly transaction: Mr. Bancroft’s ninth volume has made its long expected appearance. .Its style is in keeping with the former volumes. Its matter Is subject to the same doubts which iu these .times overhang all his tory. Many sagacloas men are found who regard written history as little bet ter than romance. No one can place confidence in the works of Mr. Prescott. They are very pleasant reading, but Very untrustworthy as to facts. Many other historians are discredited because of the discovery of new historical ma terial showing their errors. No one who has not made the history of the period a study, is competent to express an opinion on the general value of Mr. Bancroft’s work. He labors with great assiduity, and is, perhaps, as accu • rate as can be expected. It is to be fear ed, however, that in some instances he accepts the verdict of previous histori ans, aud adopts their conclusions with out subjecting them to the light of newly discovered material. In this volume we are struck with one illustra tion of this criticism. If a fact Is worth stating at all iu history, it is worth any amount of labor to verify iL before making the statement. It will not ex cuse.it historian for an error to say that it is unimportant. Probably no event, either in ancleyit or modern warfare, has received so many versions as the killing of Miss Jane McCrea during the Revolutionary War. It lias been commemorared in story and in song, and narrated In grave histories lu as many Uillerent wuys us there have been writers upon the sub ject. As an incident merely of the Re volution, accuracy in its relation is not, perhaps, of much moment. Wneu measured, however, by its results, it at once assumes an importance which justifies such an investigation as shall bring out the truth in all its details. The slaying of Miss McCrea was to the people of New York what the battle of Lexington wus to the New Lugiand colonies. It each case the effect was to consolidate the inhabitants more firmly against the invader. The blood of the uufortunate girl was not shed in vain. Front every drop hundreds of armed yeoman arose; aud it has been justly said, her name was passed as a note of alarm along the banks of the Hudson, and uh a “ rallying cryumougtheOreen MouuLains of Vermont, brought down all their hardy sous.” It thuscontribu ted to Burgoyne’s defeat, which became a precursor and principal cause of Na tional Independence. On account, therefore, of the Impor tant place which this tragedy occupies iu American history, it was with con siderable interest that we looked at this narration iu the ninth volume of Mr. Bancroft’s work. Knowing that it would treat of Burgoyne’s oampaigu— aware that -historical scholars had, within late years, unearthed material completely changing the old traditious respecting this tragedy—it is with sur prise that we find Mr Bancroft falling into substantially the same errors in in respect of this event as some of his predecessors. The story as told by him is, that as Jane McCrea was on her way from Fort .Edward to meet kerloverat the British camp, under the protection of two In dians, a quarrel arose between the latter as to which should have the promised reward, when one of them, to terminate the dispute, "sunk,” as Bancroft ex presses it, “his tomahawk into the brain ” of their unfortunate charge. This version has so often beeu repeated as to have become a standing joke among the inhabitants of Fort Edward aud Sandy Hill —some of whom are the descendants of parties involved—and the remark is often heard upon the re vival of the story —“ I want to know if they liavestartecl that story agaiu!” The correct version of the Jaue Me* Crea tragedy, gathered from the state ment made by Mrs. McNeal to General Burgoyue, ou the 28th of July, 1777, in the marquee of her cousin, Genera) Frazer, aud corroborated by several people well acquainted with Jane Mc- Crea, and by whom it was related to Judge Flay, of Saratoga Springs—a veracious and industrious historian — aud taken down from their lips, is dif ' fereut from the version given by Mr. Bancroft. On the morning of the 27th of July, 1777, Miss McCrea and Mrs. Mac Neal were at the latter’s house in Fort Ed- ward, preparing to ride dowu to Colonel McCrea’s ferry, for the purpose of going to the fort for greater security, as rumors had been rife of Indians in the vicinity. While thus eugaged, alarm ed by the discharge of fire-arms, Mrs. Mac Neal looked out of the window and saw a soldier running along the military road toward the fort, pursued by sever al Indians. The soldier, seeing Mrs. Mac Neal, waved his hat as a sign of; danger, and passed on, which the In dians perceiving, left off thepursuitaud came toward the house. Seeing their intentions, Mrs. Mac Neal screamed, “ Get down the cellar, lor your lives !” On this, Jaue McCrea and a black woman, Eve, with an infant, retreated safely to the cellar, but Mrs. Mac Neal was caught on the stairs by the Indians, and dragged back by the hair by a powerful savage, who was addressed by ;iis companions as the “ Wyandot Pan ther.” A search in the cellar was then begun, and the result was the discovery only of Jane MacCrea, who was brought up from the concealment—the Wyan dot exclaiming, “ My squaw ; me find urn agin—me keep urn fast now foreber. ugh !” By this time the soldier arrived at the fort. The alarm drum was beat en, aud a party of soldiers started in pursuit. Alarmed by the noise of the drum —which they in common with Mrs. Mac Neal and Jenny heard —the Indians hastily lifted the two women upon the horses which had been in waiting to carry them to the fort, aud started off upon the run. Mrs. Mac- Neal, however, slipped off her horse, and was carried in the arms of a savage. At this point Mrs. Mac Neal lost sight of her companion, who, to use the language of Mrs. Mac Neal, “ was then ahead of me, and appeared to be firmly seated on the saddle, and held the rein while several Indians seemed to guard her—the Wyandot still ascending the hill and pulling along, by bridle bit, the affrighted horse on which poor Jenny rode.” The Indians, however, when half way up the hill, were nearly over taken by the soldiers, who at this point began firing. At every discharge the Indians would fall flat with Mrs. Mac- Neal. By the time the top of the Fort Edward Hill was gained, notan Indian was harmed, and one of them remark ed to Mrs. Mac Neal, “Wagh! um no kill—um shoot too much high for hit!” During the firing, two or three of the bullets of the pursuing party hit Miss MacCrea with fatal effect, who, falling from her horse, had her scalp torn off by her guide, the Wyandot Panther, in reveuge for the loss of the reward given by Burgoyne for any white prisoner—a reward considered equal to a barrel of rum. Her remains were gathered up by those who would have rescued her, and buried, under the supervision of Colonel Morgan Lewis, (then Deputy Quartermaster-general) on the bank of the creek, three miles south of Fort Edward, and two miles south of John McCrea’s farm, which was across the Hudson, and directly opposite the principal encampment of General tichuyJer. It thus appears first that Jane McCrea was accidentally killed by the Ameri cans; and, secondly, that the American loyalist (one David Jones) did not send the Indians on their errand. The incorrectness of Mr. Bancroft’s statement in relation to the manner of the death seems to be clearly proved, not only by the corroborative statement of the Wyandot Panther, when brought into the presence of Burgoyne— to the effect that it was not he but the enemy that had killed her—but by the state ment of General Morgan Lewis, after ward Governor of this State. His ac count is thus given by Judge Hay; “Several years after Miss Tearse had de parted this—to her—eveutful life. I con versed (in the hearing of Mr. David Bankß, at his law book store in New York), with Governor Lewis. MorguuLewistbenstated his distinct recollection that there were three gun-shot wounds upon Miss McCrea's corpse, which on the day of her death, was, by direction of himself—and, In fact, under his own personal supervision—removed, together with a subaltern’s remains, from a hill near Fort Edward to the Three Miles Creek, where they were interred. The met of the bullet wounds —of which I had not before heard, but which wascousistent with Mrs. Tearse’s statement —was to me ‘con firmation stroug as proof of Holy Writ ’ that Jane McCrea had not been killed exclusively by Indians, who could have done that deed either with a tomahawk or scalping-knife, and would not, therefore, be likely—pardon the phrase in this connection—to have wusted their ammunition. Iu that opinion Governor Lowis, an experienced Jurist—it not general—familiar with rules of evidence concurred. This opinion of two eminent lawyers, as well as the statement of the Wyandot chief, receives additional confirmation in the fact that when the remains of Jane McCrea, a few years siuce, were disinterred aud removed to tbe old Fort Edward burial-ground, Doctor William 8 Norton, a respectable and very intel ligent practitioner of physic and surgery, examiued her skull and found no marks whatever of a out or a gash. This fact also affords strong confirmation of the opinion expressed at the time by Gem Frazer at the post-mortem camp Inves tigation--that Jaue McCrea was acci dentally, or rather uuiuleutionally, killed by American troops pursuing the Indians, und, as General Frazer said he had often witnessed, aiming too high, when the mark was on elevated grouud, as had occurred at Bunker’s (Breed’s) Hill. The falsity of the statement that her lover, Jones, sent the savages on their mission is also susceptible or proof. The well established fact that Jones hud sent Robert Ayers (father ln-law of Ransom Cook, Esq., now living at Saratoga Springs) with a letter to Miss McCrea, asking Iter to visit the British encamp ment ami accompany its commander in-chief, with his lady guest, on an ex cursion to Lake George, clearly shows how the charge against Jones had crept into a Whig accusation concerning sup posed misconduct and meanness; aud the dialogue (also well authenticated) between two of her captors, In relation to tho comparative value of a living white squaw—estimated at a barrel of rum—aud her scaip-loek, accounts, per haps, for the story of the pretended proffered reward, (a barrel of rum,) al leged to have caused the quurrel among the Jndiaus which resulted in the sup posed catastrophe. All who had been acquainted witli David Jones knew that lie was Incapable of such conduct, and so expressed themselves at the time. Tlie rumor, also, which is slightly confirmed in Burgoyue’s letter to Gates, that Miss McCrea was on her way to an appointed marriage ceremony originated in Jones’ admission that he had intended, oil the arrival of his be trothed at Skeeusborougk (Whitehall) to solicit her consent to their immedi ate nuptials, Chaplain Brudenell offici ating. But Jones explicitly denied hav ing intimated such desire in his letter to Miss McCrea, or otherwise. “ Such,” lie added, “ was, without reference to my own sense of propriety, my dear Janet’s sensibility that the indelicacy of this supposed proposal would, even uuder peculiar circumstances, have thwarted it.” Indeed, this question was often a topic of conversation be tween General Frazer aud Mrs. Mac Neal, who, with Miss Hunter (after ward Mrs. Tearse), accompanied him from Saratoga to Stillwater, aud on his decease returned to Fort Edward, after witnessing the surrender of the British General. Jones frankly admitted to his friends that, in consequence of the prox imity of the savages to Fort Edward, lie had engaged several chiefs who had been at the Bouquet encampment to keep an eye upon the fierce Ottawas, and persuade them not to cross the Hudson ; but if they could not be deter red from so doing, his employees were to watch over the safety of the moth er's residence, and, also, that of Colonel McCrea. For all which, and in order the better to secure their fidelity, Jones promised a suitable but unspecified re ward—meaning thereby such trinkets and weapons as w r ere fitted for Indian traffic, aud usually bestowed upon the aboriginals, whether in peace or war. But the partisanship was then ex- tremely bitter, and eagerly seized the opportunity thus presented of magnify ing a slight and false rumor into a veri table fact, which was used most success fully iu stirring up the fires of hatred against loyalists in general, and the family of Jones in particular. The ex periences of the last few years afford fresh illustrations of how little of parti san asseveration is reliable; and there is so much of the terrible in civil war which is indisputably true, that it is not difficult, nor does it require hatfitual credulity, to give currency to falsehood. One who a hundred years heuce should write a history of the late rebellion, based upon the thousand rumors, news* paper stories, statements, of “ Southern loyalists,” Southern fire-eaters, fierce politicians onone or auotherside, would ruu great risk of making serious mis statements. The more private documents are brought to light the clearer they reveal a similar, though more intensified state of feeling between the Tories and the Whigs during the era of the Revolu tion. Great caution is, therefore, ne cessary in incorporating in history any account, as facts, which seem to have been the result of personal hatred or malice. No brilliancy of style will com pensate for historical inaccuracy. If Mr. Bancroft has been as unguarded iu other items of history as in this, his work remains to be rewritten by a more careful and thorough historian. But we can only speak for those subjects with which we happen to have been ac quainted. Bite off my Ears? At asocial party, a wag found himself, in the course of the evening, in conver sation with a nervous lookingstranger. Pointing out to him a gentleman of inquiring turn of mind in another por tion of the room, he said : ‘•Do you see that man there? He has a mania—a very unpleasant one, too. He is possessed with the idea that he must bite off'strangers’ ears, and it has caused adreadfulamountof trouble. I do not know whether he will show any symptoms to night, but, perceiving you are a stranger, I deem it my duty to put you on your guard. Don't let him approach very near you.” The expression of horror that spread over the face of the nervous man, clear ly proved that he had heard the warn ing. A little later the benevolent infor mant got an opportunity to tell the inquiring man that that man (pointing out the individual) was a physical won der, as a roaring noise could be distinct ly heard proceeding from his ear by getting within eighteen inches of him. Our curious friend was struck with this unheard of phenomenon, and very properly began to work him self close enough for a personal inves tigation. The movement was seen by the nervous man, and great drops of ap prehensive sweat oozed out from his brow and trickled down his cheeks. Nearer and nearer approached the one, and more terribly intense grew the horror of the other. The space between them was slowly but surely lessening. The curious man was within an ace of the “roaring,” when the agony of the “ roarer,” reached its crisis, and clinch ing his fist he landed it between the “lookers” of the unfortunate searcher after physical wonders, shouting at the top of his voice: “ Bite off my ears, will you ?” The effect of this on the astonished audience may be imagined. The retiring editor of the Ciroleville (0.) Union says that during thirty-four years continual editorial service he wrote 8,000 columns, and all for victuals and clothes, Dan Bice In the Vocative. A Show Not On tho Bills. Dan Rice, the celebrated showman, fave an entertainment In our town last 'rlday. He had previously purchased of Mr. Huffnagle, of New Hope, a cow and bull calf of the hump back India kind, imported by Dr. Huffnagle, from Calcutta, and the onlyoneofthespecies iu private handsin tblscountry. Earlv on Friday morning, Daniel, lulloffaltu and judgment, went to Mr. Huffnagle’B to get his stock, accompanied by several of the leading men ot the Menagerie. The cow was runuing loose lu a large stable where she had been confined for about 6 mouths. Suffering under her ill treatment, her disposition was any thing but amiable. After many ucroba tic feats—worthy the troupe —the cow was haltered. A promiscuous crowd of menagerie, circus men aud spectators were In the yard, waiting to see the sacred bovine leu forth. No sooner were the doors opeued than the cow made a rush upou the crowd. Daniel, with bis cotton umbrella, landed about three feet iu tbe puddleofsacred liquid, while Mr. Forpaugh went under with a foul blow in the rear, butting a pile of sacred manure, and sundry individuals gave novel exhibitions of featsof ground and lofty tumbling, not on the bills. The cow had cleared the yard, and the astonished showmen, as they stood on fences, and gazed from trees, concluded the cow was most too sacred to be touch ed. Recovering their self-possession they succeeded iu capturing the sacred animal with a lasso, aud have her safe ly in hand ou the way on Dan’s farm, in Erie county. —Doylestown Democrat £rgal itotiers. iISIAI’K OF OFOlti: UttTTKW, I.AIK j Went Hempfluld Lwn., deamHeil.—LettetH ol AdmlulHtruUou on said extoli* having Leon grained to the under*lgu» u : All personM lu di eted thereto are requested to nriku immedi ate payment, aud those having claims or de miunlf uguliiht llie same will iireuent them lor Keiliement Lo the umiersigneu. residing In mild township.
