THE BRADFORD REPORTER. This last circnrast&nce struck such dread iu to the breasts of the rest of the company, that no oue could be found willing to volunteer to take the post—well knowing that it would be only like signing their own death-warrant to do so ; and Col. Innes, not wishing to willful ly sacrifice the lives of his men by compelling them to go, enjoined double cautiou to the re mainder of the sentinels, and left the fatal spot unoccupied for a night or two. It was on the third night of the desertion of the post, that our hero, Death, was return ing to the fort, after paying a visit to Stan hope farm. The moon was up, but her light was almost obscured by the dense mass of clouds which at every few miuutcs were driven by a pretty stiff breeze over her face, while the huge trees, now in full leaf, creaked and groaned, and bent their tall forms to and fro, as the heavy gusts rushed whistling in among the branches Our hero had approached within a hundred yards of the termination of the forest that skirted the small open space in which the fort stood, when suddenly he paused, and crouch ing down on his bauds and knees crept cau tiously forward a few paces. Having remain ed in this position several minutes, he again quietly retreated in the manner he had ad vanced. and plunging into the forest again, emerged at a iioiut considerably lower than whore he had intended to leave it before. Col. luucs sat reading, alone, iu his private apartment, when an orderly entered aud in formed him that oue of the meu wished to speak to him. " Send him in." said the Colonel ; ami at the uext miuute our friend Death had entered, and made bis best bow to his commanding officer. " Well, what scrape have you been getting into now ?" said the Colonel when he saw who his visitor was. •' None, Colonel," replied Death ; " bat 1 have come to ask a favor." " Let us hear it," said the Colonel, and we will then see what we can do." " Well. Colonel, it is simply this—if you will put the " rifles' under osy orders tonight, and let me occupy the deserted post, I will not only clear up the mystery of the disap itearauce of the four sentries, bat make the [iot tenable in future." '• But how ?'* said the Colonel, in intense surprise. •• I guess, Colonel." answered Death, " You had better let me have the meu, aad order us off. and I'll tell you the whole affair after. I promise that no one shall receive a scratch if thev follow ray direction iiuplicity." " Yes you are a stfaoge man," said the Colonel, " but I think I will let yon have your own way this time. When do you intend to start ?" * '* la about an hour's time," answered Death. " Very well, 1 will give you the ncecs.-ary orders so that you can start wheu you thiuk proper. And what is more, if you perform all vou have promised, and don't eane me to re pent having humored you, you shall have poor Campbell's place." Hector Campbell was a brave but very head strong young Scotchman, who had occupied the post of Lieutenant at the fort. In a sud den freak of daring he had volunteered to stand sentry at the fatal spot friu which three -entries had already so mysteriously disappear ed. and he paid for his rashness with bis life. •• Now, my iads," said Death, as. in about an hour after his conversation with Colonel Innes. he approached the deserted post, at the head of a dozen riflemen who had leen tcmjo rarilv placed under hi- orders. " 1 will teil you what we are going to do.

On they came, swiftly, and silently and all unconscious of the fate that was in store for them. The foremost of the band, whose command ing stature, wolf-teeth, collar and eagle tuft at once proclaimed him as chief, and advanc ed until he was directly opposite the bush in which Death was hid, when the latter with startling distinctness imitated the cry of an owl and discharged his ritie. Eight of the Indians fell by the volley which the riflemen now poured upon the remainder of them : but strange to say. oue of the five who did not fall, was the chief whom Death aimed at. This unasual event was owing to to the following cause ; the branch on which he had steadied his arm in firing, had sudden ly yielded at the moment he discharged his piece, thus rendering harmless his otherwise unerring aim. Uttering an imprecation at his ill hick, — Death sprung down the bank with the rest ot his companions, and with one bound he reach ed the side of the Iroquois chief. They graj>- pled and fell heavily to the ground, clasped in fearful embrace, and darting glances of savage hatred at each other beueath their knitted aud scowling brows. " Keep off," shouted Death, as he saw one or two of his companions in the act of stoop ing down to assist him. " keep off ! and if he masters me let him go." Over they rolled, and writhing and straining but seemingly neither obtaiued any advantage of the other. At last the head of the Iroquois suddenly came in contact with the point of a rock that protruded from the bank, stunning him so that he relaxed his vice-like grip of Death's throat ; aud the latter thus released, spriuging to his feet finished his career by bring ing the heavy breech of his rifle, with sledge hammer force down upon his head. The remaining four Indians had been like wise dispatched ; and the victorious riflemeu I none of whom had received any wouud worth mentioning.) now sent up such a shout of tri umph for the victory that the old woods rang with it for minutes after. As Col limes had promised Death was promoted to the vacant post of Lieuteuant ; and now dear reader, we beg to inform you that our hero and the uncompromising veter an General Morgan, of revolutionary celebrity was the one and the same individual.

Stanhope Farm was the scene of such mirth, good eating and dancing a- could be di>posed of during the twenty four hours : and though we think it superfluous to do so, we will add that the course of this " merry making" was the marriage the beautions Hester SaQuope with Lieutenant Henry Morgan.

They state that in I*os. after the most patient and carefnl examination of seve ral points in various quarters of the State, they have fixed the ocutiou of the School in Ceu tre county, on the southern shun? of IVnn and Xittauy valleys, within. perhaps. five miles of the geographical centre of the State, where the land is limestone, fertile arid beautiful.— As a place for practical agriculture, nothing more favorable couM be desired : and it is sufficiently removed from those intrusions and annoyance* of a town or public riare so preirt dieiai to tue pursuit of study, or the security of a well managed farm or garden.

We have heard an excellent story of a rev erend gentleman, once a eitizen of Pittsburgh. lie was what the ladies call " a dear good man," and young misses " a dock of a fellow." Ilis charity vtas not confined to those who were his immediate followers, and in all the private relations of life he bore the character of an honest upright man It is said, howev er, that he possessed a violent temper, and when anything disagreeable occurred, behaved in a manner by no means clerical. On one occasien, a member of his congre gation, as passionate as himself, reproved him for using language in the pulpit highly improp er in itself, and altogether unbecoming oue professedly devoted to the service of his Divine j Master. The clergyman replied that he was governed by his own sense of propriety, and ; that he would permit no puppy to speak to him in that manner. To this, a blow was the only reply. A dreadful fight was the consequence, which con tinned for the space of thirty minutes, at the end of which the layman cried ! " Hold, enough i" The battle euded, aud the preacher with an injured face, walked home iu triumph. News of the quarrel spread like wild fire ; through the congregation. Old ladies rait on their bonnets and ran over the city to hear all the particulars ; fast }oung men called cm the reverend geutleman complimented him highly for behaving so well, and left him with the assurance of their great regard aud dis-1 tingnished consideration. . The Sunday following the church was fiiled to excess—all anxious to bear the minister's ex planation. People of ail ranks, all conditions —men. women and children—saints and sinners —professors of the rnauh art of self-defence . —all individuals who till that time knew not what the inside of church was made of, were assembler] there. Just as the great bell struck for the last time, the clergyman entered the church.— Deliberately he wended his way to the pulpit, aud calmly contemplated the scene before him. The choir sung the psalm commencing with : •• Rle-t i- the aian who ••htins the place, Where sinners Live to meet—" After which the preacher made a short and fervent prayer. He then took his text, and delivered the following address, which was handed to us by a gentleman who was pres ent : Brethren —We are commanded to love our enemies and respect those who de.-pitefully use us. It is our duty to do so. Forgiveness is the finest quality in the christian character. It distingushes him from all others, and caus es him to be looked upou with respect aud ad miration.

From present appearances and the best in formation within our reach, we think it may be pretty safely predicted that over a wide range of our country this is not destined to be a great corn year. A large part of the grow ing corn is too late to fully mature, unless we have an unusually warm September ami Octo ber, a circumstance hardly to be expected.— Therefore it will probable be the safer course for most farmers to cnt np and shock their corn as soon as it will any way answer—that ■ is, if it can be done before receiving much in jury from frost; by so doing they may save much in the value of fodder, and much corn would ripen in the shock that would be nearly ruined by frost. We hare several seen corn cut np, aud tied in moderately sized bundles and slung across poles over the barn floor, where it has dried perfectly, and the fodder was much bet-1 ter than it would have l>een bad it been shocked in the fic'tl. We have seen various methods of shocking corn in the field. Some put a dozen large bundles into a shock ; such large stacks do not dry well. Others cut and stand it rouud a hill purposely left umt. We have seen corn very safely stocked by only using five bnndles to the stook—one in the centre, aud one on each of the four sides ; a band of rye straw was tightly tied around the whole some four feet from the ground, aud the tops of the stalks bent over and tied dowu. Such t<xiks stand better than larger ones, and also dry much bettor. Corn, when harvested before it is properly ripened, and dried in the field, as much of it probably will be the comimr harvest, is some times injnred when stored in large quantities in the crib or the slatted corn honsc. If dry, windy weather follows after the corn lias been cribbed or housed, it generally dries well, but if long continued damp or rainy weather snc eeeds. the corn is very liable to heat and mould Ac., injuring its mealin? qualities. To guard against such a loss, we have known farmers to have a tight box stove in their corn houses, and they kept up a brisk fire a portion of the time during the damp weather, thereby drv ing their corn very fast, and saving it from in jure. The labor of manuring, ploughing, planting and hoeing an acre of corn is no trifling job in many situations of the country, and it should be the aim of the farmer to make the most of this labor, and not cheat himself out of a por tiou of iis work by suffering his corn or com fodder to Ije injured or wasted though negli gence or lack of care on his part. — [Count rv Gentleman, Aug.

Sleep and Lightr I Sleep Is the most powerful restorative of I the system. It renews the cteiFy ebb of We, and arrests its imppv flow, reeruiting the ex- I haustion produced by its drains ami toils, and tear. There kno invariable rule for all per sons with the respect to amount of time of I deep, ft is regulated by the age, constitution and habits of tire individual. FJuring tbe en tire fteriod of the growth of tire body, the more sleep the more food it requires to repair the want* of the structures, and to restore their sensibility and irritability, exhausted by the incessant activity of the waking jieriod Hence those who use mnrh exertion sleep souudest. In tbc jarimc of life waste is not so great, and a less supply is necessary. In old age, when tlie waste of the vital powers i least of all, there is the smallest necessity for sleep. But the very extremes of life uuite ii sleeping away mo? t of the tiuie. Too little deep, relatively to the activity of the body, ex haunts the irritability of the system, inducing dullness, sluggishness, uuwiekiness and corpu lence. Kight honrs for youths and six boars fur adults is about an average for sleep. For sleep to be speedy am) perfect, all caret emotions, and thoughts should be laid aside with one's clothes. And every exteinal ex citement of the nertcs, a? by sounds, lights, etc.. withdrawn as far as possible Nightcap* had better be dispensed with, and people should accustom themselves to sleep with a part of 'be window open. Karly rising, and the habits it inculcates, are condncive to health ami longevity. Necessitating early retirement to rest, induces regularity of hours and habits —withdraws from many temptations to bane ful eouviviality and excesses, and facilitates the advantageous employment of the early morning It is improper to rest for tbe night on a fell meal ; two or three honrs after rap ier is the best time ; tbe body rises lighter and more refreshed tbe next morning. Dur ing the middle of the hot days of summer, au hour's sleep after dinner is often Decesaary in dulgence, especially to those engaged in labo rious pursuits, and caunot be otherwise thau beneficial to health. A few hour- taken from the u>ual morning rest will be replaced by an hoor'a sleep in thy afternoon. This was the practice of John Hunter, and is the custom of the inhabitants of the sotitli of Europe. A horse hair mat trass is in every way preferable to a feather bed. Overload or deficiency of bed-clothes is equally to be aToided. During the day they should be taken off and left to air on the hack of chairs, Ac., as is the usage in Italy. Light is an agent indispensable to health. Vegeta ble as well as bcraan being, deprived of its influence are blanched. The former are al so changed in their taste and otlier proper ties.
