savatre nicn, and in the face of starvation itself, she kept her post for about six weeks. She had now eaten her last meal, of potatoes only, and seeing no prospect of any relief at home, she sets out to meet the family, or find some friendlv hut where she might obtain food. She hat! proceeded a few miles, when at Gordon's Hand she discovered the boat with her family -lowlv ascending the Susquehanna. The mo ment of deliverance from imminent peril is not oU lv a moment of pleasure, but often of pleas untrv. The father inquires—" Where are you eoimr ?" "To Wilkes-barre, to get something to eat," replied the daughter. She was taken on board with mutual feelings, which we need not attempt to describe. They now soon reach ed their home in safety, after an absence of three years. From this time they lived in comparative se curity and comfort. The Indians were some what troublesome, and the crops sometimes fail ed. At one time they were several weeks with out grain or garden vegetables. Like shepherds of old. they lived for the time upon the milk and flesh of the flock. A boat load of grain passed down the river in the meantime. Mo nev was out of the question. Mr. Fox offers to exchange a cow for a barrel of grain, but was refused. Wintergreen berries were the only fruit the forests afforded, which they oc casionally used to vary their bill of fare.— When the rye was so far advanced that it could be rubbed out of the head, they gather ed of it, boiled, and added it to their milk.— The subject of this notice was then a small boy, but remembered it well, aud was accustomed to sav, " That was the most delicious food I ever tasted ! Lessons learned in adversity are seldom forgotten. Nothing short of a famine teaches the true value of food. The deceased, to his iatcst day, could not endure to see a crumb of bread wasted. In this feeling parsi lUOIIV had no part, for in his habits he was hos pitable. None went from his house hungry, j but by their own fuult. Considering the state of the country at this j time, it will not appear incredible that he grow up without the knowledge of letters—and learned to read after his marriage ! It may not be amiss to mention in this place, that Eliza beth, the little girl who so heroically kept house while all the rest were absent, learned to read after she was 70 years of age ! One of the sisters of Mr. Fox marriedHEX KY, son of SEBASTIAN STROPE. Mr. AVERY re lates of Mrs. Wnrr.IKER, a daughter of Mr. STROPE, who had suffered the severities of an Indian captivity during the revolution, that years afterward on hearing the boasts of a cer tain torv.she was so indignant that she turned him out of doors. A small work was publish ed some years ago in New England, in which an attempt was made to make out that Ru- MILPII Fox, the father of JOHN FOX, was of the same class into which Mr. MINER has at tempted to place SEBASTIAN STROPF.. Apropos of Mrs. WHITAKKR'S feelings on the occasion referred to, was the effect of that publication lIJKIU the feelings of the family. The individu al referred to had gone to his rest, beyond the reach of detraction or malevolence—but his iumily survived to suffer as none but children can suffer on seeing the character of a deceased parent wantonly assailed ! The subject ofr this notice was unable to command bis feelings, or even restrain his tears. Charges so seriously affecting the happiness of families through the reputation of the parent, or any one of their number, should never be published on the au thority of surmise or vague rumor. Nothing short of indubitable testimony should induce any one to indulge in such publication. There were some in this neighborhood who were friendly to the British —or at least opposed the cause of the colonies. Rut such was the esti mation in which they were held, that no con sideration of family or social connection could .-'teen them from the odium which their posi tion brought upon them. But neither RuDora !'"X nor SEBASTIAN STROPE was among the number. The attack upon Wyoming seems to have been meditated for some time before it took place, and the way was gradually prepared by 'imetly removing one and then another who were known or suspected of being friendly to the freedom of the colouies. It was in pursu ing this policy, as it seemed, that Mr. AMOS HK was taken on the Wyalusing, about the >ame time Mr. R. Fox was, ou the Towanda, AND carried captive. Mr. YORK did not live '•return. And Mr. Fox would doubtless have wen recaptured when Mr. STROBE'S family was, r ud he not made a timely escape. We might -;iy much upon this subject, but let the above i suffice. He subject of this notice was a man of great rgy in business—of public spirit, apd social rtu ? s His christian character was quite as imminent as any other trait. He was early preyed with a sense of eternal things, and ! ''i'iiged hope la Christ at the age of fifteen " ir ' v Heat that time became connected with •' Methodist class, in this place, and remain f' 1 ,;T h them for a time. Whether he altcr- Mr ' s gave up that hope as unfounded, the ' ' r eunnot say ; but his views of scripture • aching underwent a great change. Thedoc 's of Westminister Assembly were what he to be according to the revelation of ' d, and were his support and encouragement many years of active service, and not " '•* of severe trials in the church. The church l was organized with members from ' '-ongregatioual (as it then was) church in , ■ x Mr. Fox, who had for many years D •* member of that church, and held the I - ,J f deacon, was one of those who united organization in Towanda. This church organized Presbyterian, and he was chosen l'l l , h f. r first ni,in S Elders. :! ' n s of this office be ever endeavored to discbarge with fidelity—always having pro per regard to the opinions and feelings of men, but a paramount regard to the will of God. — The unhappy controversy which finally rent the Presbyterian church into two bodies, was begun in this region years before it disturbed the general assembly. The peculiar trials to which it gave rise in the individual churches, may be best learned by observing the manage ment exhibited in the Assembly. We do not intend to write a history of this church ut this time, but refer to this state of affairs to say that Elder Fox, was from beginning to end, a consistent and firm friend of the doctrines and order of the Presbyterian church. At a time when the merits of that controversy were mis understood by many, and the necessity of firm ness in the cause of truth and order was not appreciated by others, our churches not enjoy ing the benefit of the weekly press as they have of later years, it required the more self-denial and stronger laith for a few to maintain the stand which the word of God and our standards required. Mr. Fox was a man of unusual vigor, both of body and mind, and while he exhibited great energy and promptness in bis secular affairs, be showed no less the cause of religion. 11 is faith fulness as a ruling Elder is a subject of grate ful remembrance to many. His first sickness, so far as is now known, was after he was over sixty years of age. Al though he enjoyed comfortable health some years after, his vigor was impaired. A fall from a horse about that time hastened the pro gress of debility and disease. But he relinquished the care of earthly busi ness with cheerfulness. Some of the first mouths of his confinement to the house were marked by very high spiritual enjoyment. lie bore the protracted sufferings of a ten years' struggle with disease, with exemplary patience and resignation. His greatest anxiety was for the spiritual welfare of his children, and the prosperity of the church. In the latter lie deeply sympathised with the Psalmist when he exclaimed, " If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning !" His end was peace. " Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY. —The excitement in Kansas has already resulted in bloodshed, and if the report be true in arson also. A leader of the Pro-Slavery party named Clark has been killed at a public meeting at Leavenworth. A dispute arose as to whicli party had the majority. Mr. Clark claimed it for tiie negro drivers, and Mcllea, one of the other side, replied that this was a lie. Hereupon Clark struck Mcßea with a club, stunning him ; but as soon as lie came to himself lie drew a re volver aud shot his assailant dead. This done he escaped, though shots were fired after him. Finally his friends gave him up to the United States officers at the fort, in whose custody he remained at our latest advices, though a desire to take him out and lynch him was manifested by the slave-drivers. It is also reported that the house of George V. Park of Parkville, Mo. whose printing es tablishment was lately thrown into the Missouri River, has been burned down by his enemies, and he himself lynched in Kansas. ANOTHER REVOLUTIONIST GONE.—NICHOLAS DEAN, of tlie town of Candor in this comity, died at his residence on the 27th ult. lie was in the ninety second year of his aire, and maintained his mental faculties until the lamp of life went out, like the flickering taper in the socket. Mr. Dean formerly lived in Westchester county, in this State, in the town of White Plains, and was twelve years of age when ludcjiendence was declared, lie remembers well the battle at the Plains. He set lire to the Hessian Camp ; but lie never went into the service as a regular soldier. He moved to this county forty-eight years ago, and took up his residence in Spencer. For the last six years he lias lived in Candor, with ltis only son John 13.

It is sim ple in its construction, and executes its work with accura cy and despatch on various kinds of soil. Unlike other planters, it has no gearing to get out of repair, but is carried in the hand like a cane, and can be worked up hill or down; as well as on level ground, plant ing as much ground in a day as five men can with hoes.— It may also be used to plant beans, as it can be guaged to drop as few or as many kernels as desired. It is meeting with unprecedented success everywhere it is introduced, having been presented at several Agricultural fairs, and always without exception received the highest premium, being the best and cheapest implement of the kind in use.

DAVIS' PLATFORM BEE-HIVE I f IMIE subscriber having been appointed Agent for the A counties of Bradford, Sullivan and Lycoming, has the pleasure of calling the attention of the public to this useful invention. The Hive is truly a great improvement on the old square box ; and the facilities it affords for taking out the honey are as harmless to the bees, as they are profita- j ble to the oyvuer. No resort to drums and pans is needed to hive the increase in the spring, and no resort to brim stone, fire and fagot is required to conquer the bees and i procure their honey in the fall. As tin- bees multiply, ] new sections are added to the hive ; and when the honey ] is wanted, they are removed accordingly. The arrange- i meats for feeding the bees, ior changing them to different parts of the old hive, or to a new one, for ventilation, are unqnestionqbly ahead of anything hitherto known. A description of this Hive is impossible, without refer- ■ cnce to a model, but an examination will satisfy any one of its advantages. For soje, Town and Individual Rights, with books, bill of feed, Ac., giving full directions for ma king the Hive, and managing the Bees. May i, 1835. GEORGE S. KEEN. $5OO REWARD!
