Oh. how delighted the bride would be to know that a newspaper was secured—the best evidence in the world that her husband intended spending his leisure mo ments at home—meant to keep pace with the world, and mate himself worthy of its honors, and his partner's con fidence and lore. Excellent! Capital! Why didn't somebody think of this before!" THE ORDER OF MARCH OF HAXD'S BRI GADE FROM WYOMING TO TIOGA. BEAD QUARTERS, TiOga, Aug. 14, 1779 Brigadier for to-morrow. General Maxwell ; Field officer, Lt. Col. Dehart ; Field officer for Fatigue. Messrs. Fish and Platt; Brigade Major, —Ross. The Commander-in-chief having with great difficulty procured shirts and frocks for those soldiers who are naked—officers commanding regiments and corps-are requested to make re turns of such as have no frocks or coats, as also of such as have no shirt's, that they may be supplied. It is expected that the Com manding officers will be particularly attentive to see that no fraud be permitted on their re turns, as it would be unjust and dishonorable in the first degree for officers to claim in our present circumstances of supplies . more cloth 'me than is absolutely necessary. ' Though the General cannot help .expressing the highest'approbati'on of the resolute conduct of officers and soldiers in yesterday's excur sion, yet he must again remind die•troops of the necessity of using those precautions which he has so repeitedly urged of not resolution to withstand the onset of such determined troops. yet they are fruitful in stratagem, secret in their designs, and capable of taking , in every advantage which the situation of the ground or even inattention or want of caution may give them. The proceedings of yesterday must prove to every thinking person the propriety of former orders and The necessity of them. - The officers 'of regiments are positively or dered nor to be absent from their own corn viands whenever their regiments are ordered to the place where there is a possibility of an attack from an enea y, and the soldiers are cautioned against wantonly throwing away i:eir fire when they have no object to level teL at. How exceedingly pleasing it must be • for the cowardly, lurking savages—to see one fire from them, produce a wasting discharge from all the muskets in a number of regiments without ny kind of aim, meaning or order. and levelled at no object, but endangering those officers who are endeavoring to restore them to - order—and spreading carnage among them selves—painful as it is, the General must say, much-of the mischief done ye terday to our ovin troops, was done by ourselves, who in flery part of their conduct proved that they had sufficient bravery .to engage and , conquer ten tunes the number of their dastardly foes. As it is the business of officers to direct the fire of their troops, it is positively ordered that the officers in future draw up their troops w case of an attack, and point out the object against whom their fire is to be directed—and I . oldiers are positively forbidden to fire without nrm having received those directions from their officers. Arita ORDERS.—Nine hundred men of the mom} active privates with a number of Com missioned and non-Commissioned officers to he immediately drafted from the army, and pre pare to march at 6 o'clock in the morning of the 16th inst. The Brigadiers will see that the men are Properly chosen. and that they are officered with active and able officers: This detachment to parade to-morrow morn ing at 8 o'clock. Gen. Poor will take command of the party and give them their necessary directions when Paraded to-morrow—Gen. Hand will also go with the parry. The ComMiseary is to issue the detachment at 8 days flour, of which they will Bake one half to-morrow--he will also see that as many cattle - as will serve them for 8 days be prepar ed at 6 o'clock in the morning of the 16th inst. with proper drivers, and all the troops chosen tar this detachment to be immediately taken off on duty. The party wilt draw .two day's meat to morrow, and have it cooked.

Field officers for the day, Col. Dayton; Bri gade Major, —Ross The Commander-in-chief takes occasion from yesterday's affair to impress on the minds of the so , iliers the necessity of what he has so often urged, to add the utmost care and cau tion to avoid giving their lurking adversary an oportunity of triumphing at their imprudence. The General again repeats that we have no thing to fear from our enemy but their taking petty advantages which our want of caution produces ; although the savage be despicable in action, yet our yielding repeated opportuni ties for taking ' , little advantages may render them formidable in idea. To prevent which, the troops are positively forbidden on any.pre tence to go without the limits of the camp. - A Captain and fifty men are to be posted on the west side of Cijuga (Cayuta) to guard the horses and cattle and secure the camp. Gen. Maxwell will order a sergeant with twelve men as a guard at the spring opposite his encampment. As the soldiers imitating the Indian whoop and, their frequent firing, though contrary to repeated orders evidently prevented timely no tice being taken yesterday; they are forbidden to make those noises in future—and every offi cer is called upon to apprehend such as are guilty of firing muskets, and have them pun ished agreeable to former orders. In future the discharge of a single musketor gun must be Idoked upon as an alarm, of which the officers of the day are, to take timely notice and repair to the place in order to learn the occasion—if they find it has proceeded from our own troops. they are to order instant pun ishment to be inflicted on the offender. Officers Commanding Brigades to order a sufficient number of vaults dug and covered by green bushes—fresh earth to be thrown into them every morning—they will likewise order a party to cut down the shrubs, bushes and weeds in front of the encampment to the dis tance of one hundred yards—also in the rear 7 to be colt d t the same time and burned.

I Romance In Real Lite. Mrs. Child's Letters from New York, which have lately been published, contain some very interesting reminiscences, among which is the following curious incident !which occurred in the family of the authoress while the yellow fever was raging in that city : One of my father's brothers residing in Bos ton at the time, became a victim to the pesti lence. 'W hen the first symptoms appeared, his wife sent the children into the country and herself remained to attend upon him. Her friends warned her against Poch rashness.— They told her it would be death to her, and no benefit to him ; for he would soon be too ill to know who attended upon him. These ar guments made no impression upon her affec. tionate heart. She felt that it would be a life long satisfaction to her to know who attended upon him if he did not. She accordingly stay. ed and watched him with unremitting care.-1 This however, did not avail to save him. He grew worse and worse and finally died. Those who went around with the death carts had visited the chamber, and seen that the end was near. They now came to take tlie body. His wife refused to let it go. She told them she knew not how to account for it, but though lie wee perfectly cold and rigid, and to every appearance quite dead, there was a powerful impression in her mind that life was not ex tinct. The men were overborne by her con viction, though their own reason was opposed to it. The half hour again came round. and kagain was heard the solemn words, Bring out your dead." The wile again resisted their importunities ; but this time the men were more resolute. They said the duty assigned to them was a painful one, but the health of the city required a punctual obedience to the orders they received ; if they ever expected the pes tilence to abate, it must be by .a prompt remo val of the dead..and immediate fumigation of the affected apartments. She pleaded and pleaded. and even knelt to them in an agony of tears, continually saying... I am sure he isnot dead." The men represented the utter absur dity of of such an idea; but finally, overcome by her tears, again departed. With trembling haste she renewed her efforts to restore life She raised his head, rolled his limbs in hot flannel, and placed hot onions on his feet. The dreadful half hour again came round, and found him as cold and rigid'as ever. She renewed her entreaties so desperately. that the messenger began to think a little gentle force would be necessary. They accordingly attempted to remove the body against her will : but she threw herself upon it, and clung to it with such frantic strength, that they could not easily loosen her grasp. Impressed by the remarkable energy of her will. they relaxed their efforts. To all remonstrances she an swered, If You bury him, you shall bury me with him." At last, by dint of reasoning on the necessity of the case, they obtained from her a promise, that if he showed no signs of life before they again came round, she Would make no opposition to the removal. Having gained this respite, she hung the watch upon the bed - post, and renewed her efforts wish redoubled zeal. She placed jugs of hot water upon him. forced brandy between his teeth breathed into his nostrils, and held hartshorn fa his nose; but still the body lay motionless and told. She' looked anxiously at the watch; in five minutes the promised half hour *mild expire, and these dreadful voices would •he heard passing through the streets. Hopelessness came over her ; she dropped the head she had been sustaining ; her hand trembled violently ; and the hartsitorn she been holding was spilled on the pallid face. Accidentally, the position of the head had be come slightly tipped backwards. and the power• full liquid flowed info his nostrils. Instantly there was a sharp qnickgasp---a straggle.—his eyes opened; and when' the death men came again, they found him sitting up in bed. He is still alive, and has enjoyed unusually good - healthy OLD TODD Aunts.—Mr. Webster visited Mr. Adams shortly before his death ; found him re clining on a sofa, evidently in feeble health. He remarked to Mr. Adams, u•I am glad to see you sir, and 'hope you are getting along pretty well." Mr. A. replied in the follotving figurative Flan= guage Ah. the contrary.

The lately discovered process b y which stone of any ford may be made and Moulded, is by Cementing smell fragments of stone, sand, earthy or metalic substances, and in, submitting this to hydraulic pressure. The cement is made, by taking 100 pounds of crystalized carbonate of soda or 50 pounds of carbonate of potash, dis solved in 50 gallons of water. Lime is then added, by which the soda is rendered caustic. Thit is reduced to 25 gallons by the application of at.

Of this mill stones may be' made. If' the stone be reduced to very fine particles be fornadding the cement, the mixture may be used for coating walls, ect. A series of experiments have recently proved that the amount of inorganic matter taken up in a crop of wheat is equal to one pound to the bushel of grain of sixty-two pounds. It is also proved by the same experiments that the pin. portionate weight of the wheat and of the ashes when the wheat is consumed, is in an inverse ratio. These facts will, - prove highly important to the agrictilterist, as they will govern him in relation to his soil and manures. It would be no less important to determine the relative weight of inorganic matter in other grains and vegetables generally. From observations lately made in France, it has been stated that if the pertubatory forces of the sin and moon could he isolated and amplifi ed with respect to the enrfaces of terrestial bod ies subject to our control, they would constitute true lunar time-pieces, the sun and moon being the sole motive power. These two bodies at tracting bodies upon the earth. change however, the weight and and intensity of these bodies, and hence the phenomena of tides. A new machine has been invented in Provi dence, R.. 1., for washing colored prints, which does the work of three of the old kind ; that is 1,400 pieces per day ; also another for stamp ing= colors upon prints at the same time. The former machine - has three cylinders, one of com paratively small size, immersed in the water, and two larger ones above. The pieces of cloth being tied together, pass under the one in the water, and then upwards between the two above, by which the water is pressed out, and afterwards around the small cylinder to be again wet; this making some twenty revolutions, which cleanse them thoroughly. To detect the presence of copper in tea or pickles, put a few leaves of the tea, or some of the pickles, but small, into a vial with two or three drachms of liquid ammonia, diluted with one half the quantity of water, shake the vial. when if the most minute portion 'of copper be present, the liquid will assume a fineblue color.

American hemp is now exported to Scotland where it is used instead of flax in the manufac ture of certain kinds of goods, and where a new process has been discovered for softening the article prior to its being spun. Very fine and white goods are made 01 it, as well as bonnets and paper. Mr. Hunt of this city, has invented an im provement in The common inkstand. by which a valve is made to close Within the stand the mi. lice, so that the ink cannot evaporate by expo• sure or spill out if the stand be accidently Up set. The valve is also so shaped, and so light. ly pressed. that it cleans the pen when it is dip• ped into the ink. A further improvement con sists in an extetior valve or top cover, which is so arranged by a sprine that, on setting the stand down, the cover remains open, but when taken up it instantly closes.

Strength of the Turtle. A party went on shore one night for the purpose of catching turtle, a description of which may not be uninteresting. We left the ship at sunset, and reached the shore about dark, then hauled the boat from the beach.— Having reached the place where we thought it likely that the funk would land, we lay down, keeping a sharp look out, and making as little noise as possible. The moon had risen some time, and was shedding her silvery rays on these desolate regions; the opposite coast in the distance. which is very mountainous, and the ship riding at anchor, had together a beau tiful effect; the sea was perfectly calm, and everything appeared to be sleeping in the still nesi of the night. and not a whisper being ,heard among the party, the surf dashing against the rocks. alone breakid'g the silence of the scene. We were thus all in the eipectation of the appearance of a turtle, and six bells had just gone on board—that is it was eleven o'clock, P. M.—when we saw the first, to out great delight. coming on shore just opposite us. It looked like a black rock moving slowly and steadily out of the water. We did not interrupt its progress until ithad got some distance upon the beach, when a rush was made toward it, and it was immediately over on its back, without giving it time either to defend itself or blind its assailints by throw; ing sand with its flippers or fins. Which they do with such force that it is almost dangerous to come near them. It took six men thus to torn the largest that was caught; and the following incident will further show the immense strenoth of these animals. One of our men, the gunner, wan ered away by himself to the further end of beach where he thought to have all the spat to himself, not doubting for a moment that he would be able to turn any tunic which he found ; but on the contrary to his surprise, not: being absent long, before espying a large Womaking towards the beach, he allowed it to e op some way, and then ran over it, and attempted to turn it. All his endeavors were, however, fruitless ; and by some means he got his hand between the shell and the neck, which the animal, by drawing in its head, jammed, and held there so tight that he could not with draw it. The turtle then began to crawl towards the sea. dragging the man with it ; and he was in imminent danger of being carried off, when he began to call for assistance. Our party was somewhat alarmed at the cries, thinking that some serious accident had happened, and im- mediately ran towards the .place from which the sound proceeded, where we arrived in time to save the poor fellow from a watery grave. . The turtle was close to the edge of the sea, and was carrying him off as if lie were no; thing; nor was it without some difficulty that we released him from his perilous situation, .dragging the turtle above high water mark, and turning it . over.—Kempthorn's Memoirs on the Eastern Shores of the Persian Gulf.

He is then truly. a respectable man. There is no greater delusion or folly on the part of some farmers than that of crowding their sturdy. sons 'into the "learned(?) pro fession." or behind the merchant's counter. which is caused frequently by the false notions in the community of respectability. Thomas Jefferson justly estimated the re spectability of farming. In his Notes on Vir ginia. he says . " 'rinse who labor on earth are the chosen people of God (if he has any chosen people) whose breasts he has made his peculiar depo sits for substantial and genuine Virtue. It is the focus in which he keeps-alive that sacra -fire wind' otherwise might escape from the earth. Corruption of mortals in the mass of the.cultivators is a phenomenon of which no age nor nation has furnished an example. It is the mark set on those. not looking up to heaven. to theirown soil and industry, as does the husbandman, for their subsistence, depend for it on the casualties and caprice of custo. mers.—Dependence begets subservience and venality, suffocates the gem of virtue, and pre pares fit tools fur the danger of ambition. it is the manners and spirit of a people which preserve a republic in vigor. A degeneracy in these is a canker , which soon eats to the heart of its laws and eonstitullort."•=ohitf Eagle The Ste= of Life. The following beautiful illustration of life, is from the celebrated Bishop Heber's Farewell Sermon, delivered many years since' upon the eve of his departure for India, to his parishoners at Hodeet, in England : " Less bears us od like the stream df a mighty river. Our boat, at first, glides swiftly down the narrow channel through the playful murmurings of the little brook, and winding along its grassy borders. The trees shed their blossoms over our young heads: and thd flow ers on the brink seem to offer themselves to our young hands ; we are in hope, and- we grasp eagerly at the beauties around us; but the stream hurries us on, and still our hands are empty. Our cotifse in youth and Manhood is along - a wider and deeper flood, and amid objects more striking ankmagnificent. We are anti mated by the moving picture of enjoymentand industry before us, we are excited by shorn lived success, or depressed and rendered milt• erable by short-lived disappointment. But our energy and our dependence are both in vain. The stream hears us on, and our joys and griefs are left behind us; we may beship-, vrteeked, but we cannot anchor; our voyage may be hastened, but we cannot be 'delayed; whether rough or smooths the nver hastens towards its home—the roaring of the waves is beneath our keel. - and the land lessens from -our eyes, the floods are lifted up around us, and we take our last leave of earth and its in= habitants. and of our further voyage there is no witness but the infinite and the Eternal.
