ANECDOTES OF REVOLUTIONA
RY TIMES.
. At the battle of Ettiaw Sprinjrs, the fol
loniug ludicrous incident occurred. The
Americans hail pursued the English so closely
that they had taken refuge in s brick dwell
inj;, while in their haste to close the door
upon the rapidly advancing Americans, they
shut out some of their own officers, who
were inir.iedialuly surrounded hy their cap
tors. TIjh Americana weru now exposed to
a galling fire, from these withir. t ho building
and they only found ufety by interposing the
persons of their captives between themselves
and the marksmeu ut the windows. Among
the l!ri;ih ulTiccr token was one Major
Harry, who, without slightest resistance, be
gan only with a pr fuuud solemnity to enu
murale his ninny titles. "Sir, I um Henry
liurry, Deputy Adjutant General of the
British army, becrelury to the commandant
of Charleston captain of tho fiBd regiment,
ic." "Enough, enough," replied (Jul. Man
ning, in whosH hands ha had fallen, "you are
just the man I was looking for. Tear noth
ing ; you sluili screen me from danger, and I
sbull take efpechil care of you," and with the
pompous mujnr held before his person, the
American ollicer secured a sul'o retreat
On one occasion, during the war of the
Revolution, ft stranger upplied to tho resi
dence of Gov. Clinton for hospitality and was
received, und while refreshments were prepa
ring for bitn, tho Governor entered into con
versation with him, in the coursn of which, in
re Iy to some questions proposed by the host
he manifested so much uneasiness, that the
suspicions became confirmed in their minds
by observing bim take something from bis
pocket und swallow it, Mrs. Clinton imme
diately conceived of a plan to make him dis
gorge his secret. .She proceeded to the kitch
en und put a dope of tartar emetic in the cap
ufcofl'ee preparing for bim. Tho man par
took of the beverage, and ere long he began
to show signs of indisposition ; bo grew vio
lently sick, and the result was, a small silver
ball was discharged from bis stomach. The
ball wus uutcrewed, and found to contain
an important communii'utiou from Kir iieory
Clinton to Uen. linrKivne. Ihe man was
arrested us a spy, and "out of his own mouth,
as it was said, "he was convicted." lie suf
lorod death.
In one of the incursions of Indians upon
our frontier settlements during the revolution
u very romaulic incident occurred. The
celebrated chief Cornptanter maila an attack
upon the neighborhood of fort Plain, burn
ing and destroying, and among the prisoners
be captured was ouo Jobu Abell, an old in
habitant. The party bad not travelled but
a lew miles on their return wUen it was dis
covered thai this Abell was almost us well
acquainted with their language as the Indi
ans themselves. This interested the chief,
and on inquiri ig of bis captive bis name,
Cornplanler knew at once that be stood be
fore hit own father, Abell, tweuty five years
beT'ire, bad been a trader among the Indians
of Western New York, aud in one of bis
visits be became euumored of a pretty squaw,
and the result of this uQection was the grace
ful and celebrated warrior whom the father
now, for the first time, (an standing before
him. The chief bad leurced from bis mother
the history of bis parentage, and bis father's
name. The meeting was certainly extraordi
nury to a degree. The young chief held out
strong inducements to bis white father to ae
company bim to his tribe, but paternal affec
tion diJ not seem so strong in the heart of
Abell as bis lore for the comforts aud luxu
ries of a white uiau's home, and so be choose
rather to be restored to liberty and be re
returned to bis friends. This was yielded,
and be was conducted in honor back to tbe
settlement. Tbustiogulariy met aud parted
father and soft.
The haughty Tarleton, vaunting hit feats
of gallantry, to the great disparagement ol
thj officer of the) continental cavalry, said to
a lady at Wilmington "I have a very ear
nest desire to see Jour far-famed bro, Colo
nel Washington." "Your wish, colonel,
might bave been fully gratified." she promptly
replied, "bad you ventured to look behind you
after the battle of the Cowpens." It was in
that battle that Washington had wonnded
Tarleton, which gave rise to a still more point
ed retort. Conversing with Mr. Wiley
Jones, Col. Turletnn observed : "You ap
pear to think very highly of Colonel Wash
ington, and yet 1 have been told that be is
so ignorant a fellow that bo can hardly write
bis own name." "It iuy be the case," tbe
readily replied "but no man better than your
self, colonel, can testify that bo knows bow
to make bit mark."
When Marion's brigade wtt once engaged
in battle Capt. Gee wat supposed to be mor
tully wounded. A ball passed through the
cock of bit bat, very much tearing noV&oly
tbe crowo but alao bit bead, lie lav for pa
ny hours insensible j but tuddeuly reviving
bit first inquiry wat after bit bat, wbicb being
brought to biui, s friend at tbe lame time la-
oiestaing tb mangled itato of bit bead, be
isccIIancouSa
... a J- i-'.-l: . .
exclaimed : "Oh, I care nothing about my
head, tune and tbe doctor will mend that, but
it grievej me to think tbat tbe rascal bave
mined my new hat forever."
Mrt. Daniel Hall having obtained permit
simi to pay a visit to ber mother on John's
Island, was on the point of embarking, when
an ollicer stepping forward in the most au
thoritative mutiner, demanded the key of ber
trunk. ' Wbal do you expect to Cud there ?
"1 seek for treoson," wat the reply. "Yon
may lave yourself the trouble of search," laid
Mrs. Hall, "you will God plenty of it at tny
tongue's eud."
Governor Griswold, of Connecticut, was
once indebted to a happy thought of his wife
for bit escape from the JJritish, to whom be
wus extremely obnoxious. He was at lionin
but expected to tetout immediately for Har
ford to meet the Legislature, which bad com
menced its session a day or two previous
Tbe family residence was at Iilackbill, oppo
site tiaybrook Point, and situated on tbe
point ol laud formed by Ccnnecticut river on
the east, ond Long island Sound on the
south. British ships were lying In tho Sound,
and at the Governor was kuowu to be at this
time in his own mansion, a boat was secretly
tent asboro for the purpose of securing his
person. Without previous warning, the
family were alarmed by seeing a file of mu
rines coming up from the beach to the honse.
There was uo time for flight. M rt. Griswold
bethought herself oT a large meat barrel or
tierce, which had been brought in a day or
two before, and was not yet ti!ld. Qu:ck as
thought, she decided that the Governor's pro
portions which were by no means slight
must bo compressed into thi, the only availa
ble hiding place. He was obliged to submit
to be stowed in tho cask and covered. The
process occupied but a few moments, end tbe
soldiers presently entered. Mrs. Griswold
was of course innocent of nil knowledge of her
husband's whereabouts though sbo told them
she knew well that the legislature was in
session, and that business required bis pres
ence at the capitol. Tbe house -nnd cvllur
having been searched without success, the
soldiers departed. Hy the lime their bout
reached the ship, the Governor was galloping
up the road on bis way to Hartford.
One morning during the seige of Charles
ton, Gen Moultrie was awakened by a more
than ordinary furious cannonading from the
enemy, and. just as be leapt frcm his bed, a
cannon bail came crafiing through the house,
traversing the entire length of ihe bed, tear
ing it to pieces, and scattering tho fragment!
iu every direction, after which mischief it con
tinned on its career.
Gen. Putmun is known to bave been decid
edly opposed to duelling, on principle. It
once happened that he grossly affronted a
brother ollicer. The dispute arose ul a wine
table, and the cflicer demanded instant repa
ration. Pntinnn, being a little elevated, ex
pressed bis willingness to accommodate the
genllemun with a light j and it was emulated
that the duel should take place on the follow
ing morning, and that they should fight with
out teconds, At the appointed lime tbe Gen
eral went ou the ground, armed with sword
and pistols. On entering tbe field, Puttnan,
who had taken a stand ut the opposite extre
mity, and ut a distance of about, thirty rods,
leveled his musket and fired ut bim. The
gentleman now ran towards his antagonist,
w ho deliberately proceeded to reload his gun.
"Whul are you about to dot'' excluimed he J
"it this the conduct of un American officer
aud a mau of honor J" "What are you about
to do '" exclaimed the General, attending on
ly to the first question ; "a pretty question to
put to a man whom you intend to murder.
I'm about to kill you, and if you don't beat a
relieat iiv less thuu 'twould take old Heath
to bang a Tory you are a gone dog ; ' at the
same lime returning bis ramrod to its place,
and throwing the breach of his gun into the
hollow of his shoaltler. This intimation was
too unequivocal to be misunderstood, and our
valorous duelist turned aud fed for dour life.

iko. The rapid increase of crime, and the
demoralization and carelessness which too
frequently prevail ia our cities, and lurge
towns and villages, too plaiuly thow the im
proper training of our youug men aud our
young women also. Says a cotemperury
with loo much truth over indulgence is a
potent auxiliary to imperfect training. Our
boys und girls ure scarcely out of their twad
dling clothes, ere they are treated as young
genl'emen and incipient ladies. Wb.le yet
under the iliscipliue ot the teachers lerulo,
they conceive themselves Competent to take
their plucel in society. Boys of sixteen talks
politics, frequent public amusements, tmoke
cigars, and imbibe iutoxicuting fluids. Girls
of fourteen or fifteen chatter scundul, are fas
tidious and elegant io the toilet, play the wo
rrreii, prate of marriage, and converse among
themselves about their beuui. Long ere the
years of discretion have arrived, both texet
know too much. Beardless youths are ton
verted into rakish men of the world, and sim
perinat misses, wbo ought still to wear panta
lets, ace tho. 'oughly grounded ia the ui'ls of
flirtation and coquetry. To anticipate mo
desty, propriety, moral rectitude, and a sense
of religious responsibility from such muteriuls
would be about at unreasonable as to expect
to tiud humanity in a tiger, courage iu a bure,
or genius in arj idol. Seven-eights of the
crimes wbicb tho press it constantly com
pelled to record, proceed from tbit fruitful
source of misery and vice. At long aa pa
rents and guardiunt shrink from tbo perform
ance of their duly, so long wifl the evil con
tinue unchecked. It is impossible to plant
brambles, and gather roses. No on can ha
bitually swallow poison with impunity. Chil

A WKA1.TIIV ' FA. II Ml 11 ATTEMPTS- TO
STARVE lilt WIFE TO DK ATM.
John Fullerton, a weulthy farmer of Morry
Michigan, bus long been known as a house
hold tyrant, but even those most prejudiced
ngainsl bim on this account, were lint pre
pared for tho revelations nf the true fiendish
ness of his character which have recently
b en nmdo.
One night, nsnr the lst"of March, groans
were beard proceeding from the house, as of
some one in great distress, and the neighbors
recalling the fact that Mrs. Fulleitmi had
nut been seen for a lung time, wero led to en
tertain snspicions of a new atrocily on his
part. Mr. Birch, a neighbor, culled nt I he
house the next day, and was reluctantly per
mitted by M r. Fullerton to see his wife
He found her in u chamber destitute of fur
niture, snve a miserable bed upon which she
lay buried in straw, with a dirty featherbed
a covering, und apparently without a particle
oT rluthiug upon her person. Still more
shocking was her tmanciuled condition.
She w:s reduced to a mere skeleton her buir
mutted und clotted with blood, and her face
budly bruised. The scene wus so sickening
thut Mr. Birch speedily sought Ihe open air.
The ladies ner were soon enlisted, and re
paired the following morning to the honse,
where they were met with repeated threats
of violence from Mr. Fullerton, but they
tinully proceeded to put tho skeleton form in
a more tidy and comloi tuble condition.
Their repiesentiilions of her situation nro
too revolting fur repetition. In severul
places tho bones hud worn through the flesh,
und her body wus covered with stripes aud
did terrible bruises. W heii nourishment whs
given to her she ate like pee lomished, and
her mind seemed to he In a condition border
ing upon idiocy. There are every indicutiou
of her having been kept for a long time with
out food, fire or clothing, and subjected to
frequent beatings by this inhuman legu! pro
prietor of her person.
Through the interference of the poor au
thorities, Mrs. Fullerton wus at length re.
moved toniorc safo nnd cnmfoilablu quar
ters Her intending physician. Dr. Nichol-
son, attributes her present reduced eouuilioo
entirely to brutality utid starvation.
rullerton is of Inch birth, about sixty
years ol age and somewhat educated. Ho is
not strictly temperute, but cannot be called
an inebriate, nor bus be generally committed
his brulnlilies uuder tho lullueuc of strung
drink.
Mrs. FulK-rlon is an American woman, 47
years of uge, and is said to buve possessed
lair ubilitiec before they were demented by
inhuman treatment. She formerly resided
in Peiilield now Webster Mouroe county.
Michigan, where they were married 29 years
ago. She is the mother of eight living child
ren, most nf tbe older ones being retudeuts or
unotlier Stute. One born some twenty years
since, und u few months alter the mother had
received a terrible whipping from which she
fled through the snow in midwinter to the
house nf u relative lor protuclioo, was a life
long idiot.
'I lie ouly children at home are two boys,
bul so fearf il are they of their father's wrath,
I hat it is difficult to learn much from them.
Sometime during tbe past winter, another
brother veutured to carry his mother food in
l,is father's absence, for which hu was severe
ly whipped. He then ran away aud has nut
since been borne.
Mr. Bigelufof the New York Post writes
from Naples,.Aprl 29 :
"Tho Kiug is excessively unpopular, and
dying ; he ia distrustful of bis son, who is to
succeed him, and will not purl with a purticlu
of bis power lo any one, aud the consequence
is thai there is really no Government what
ever here. His ministers bu.iul his chamber
ul Cuserla every day, und make a show of do
ing busiuess, but they dare mil do anything.
Tho dying monarch is the less disposed to
make suitable preparations for the succession
because he lluuks he ia going to recover.
The Pope bas sent bim cu account of au in
terview ho had recently with the deceused
wife of the King, who told bim that she bad
made intercession with tbe Virgin Mart', aud
received from her the most satisfucto-y assu
rances of ber husband's restoration to health.
Tb!s infelligence, together with some reliijiies
of St. Januariul and other saints, which ure
said to possess important uivd cul influence

warded to him and upon which he lies nil the

recovery which nothing call shake. Wheth
er lie lives or dies, however, the Government
must be weak, fur it has uo moral strength

Curing Hay.
The following extracts from the published
Views of S. W. Jewett, Esq , of Connecticut,
on the curing of hay, shonld attract the at
tention of farmers, whose views, if different
rrom these, we should like to have in reply :
In our opinion there is n great mistake ex
isting in this matter. It is an old ud.ge,
"make liny while the Suu shines," and many
seem to think that the more suu they can get
upon their hay the better. Here is tho mis
take to which wo alludu.
By this process of over drying tlio sun, a
great many tons or liny are lost. 'I he influ
ence of Ihe sun is partly of distillation, utid
has the power net only to expel tuo v.atery
elements contained in plants, bnt the rcu!
substance i f the plunt itself, which goes to
form fat and muscular fibre of ull ruminating
nnimuls. llisuss rted by distillets of plants
thut to procure the most oil, they must not
be dried in the sun, as it not ouly lessens the
quantity of oil, but ulso diminishes the flavor
Now grass may be exposed to the inlluence
of the sun's rays until there is no more nour
ishment in it than there is in a pile of wood.
Thus, from one tenth to four-fifths pr the
nutritive part of buy is lost hy tho maker in
the process of drying, or winu miuht bo moio
properly culled u process of distillation. We
have reason to believe that in Vermont alone
ih re it lost during ono season, in this way,
more than live hundred thousand dollars'
north of nutriment in bay ; which if it bad
been wtsp!y retained, might bave nourished
many hungry flocks und herds, us nature de
signed instead of being re.-olved again into
its constituent elements, and wafted away by
the winds.
When the bay maker is desirous of stacking
or mowing his hay u little underdone, he may
do so with impunity, by adding layers of dry
struw or old hay, ooeusionally, to absorb tho
gasset which would pus-8 of! by overheating
or in the field, under tho inlluence of sun uml
uir. Much value, iu this way, may be suve.il,
as stock will eut the straw und old buy viith
avidity, though it may buve been sccuudquul-
ty-
Another good method of storing your hay,
as green as possible, is by providing several
places bo that but ono or two loads umy bu
put together Ihe samo day. By this grudiial
process of storing tbe hay, it will be richer in
quality if not over ripe.
When the Imy is not ma do enough In save
well hy storing Urge bodies, it may be cast on
to nn open scaffold (it remain Ou the load over
night to sweat. All hay underdone should
bu pressed us lightly as possible in mow of
stack, but when overcured or too ripe, the
more solid it ia pressed at unloading the bet
ter. To make a stack' of hoy properly, it should
be severul duyt in going up, thut yon may be
ublo lo retain its good virtues und give the
stock time lo settle t.y degrees.
Grass should bu willed, thuu, without dew
or wet, ot;d put into cocks, not by rolling,
but by placing onu fori. 1 o I top of the other.
When the irss gums the scythe iu cutting,
it requires little or no drying before it goes
to the barn, if stored with proper Sure. Hay

and not be rejected by stock, end is not apt
lo must or mould in small bodies, if the water
is thoroughly dried off. When liny is liable
to overheat, it should be turned up to air, or
u square fit cut out of th centre to check it.
A chimney is sometimes formed by setting
bundles of lira on end, oue un top of the
other, commencing near the bottom of the
stack or mow, ending near the top. When J
nverdried, as before muted, it never becomes
solid in Ihe mow. That fed from the solid
mow is of more value, and will go much far
ther, pound for pound, than tbat led out of
loose hay ih bulk.

who, so fur as wo ore informed, orignii'cd
the rhubarb wine manufacture, ftniii bis re
markable seedling pie plunt, which jrowl
turner than any other known variety.
The following is Mr. Cuhoou's reply:
'Herewith I fend you a fau.plo (if 'pin

with currant-juice, blackberry, elderberry
juice, gooseberry juice, or any other juice,
such as has long been used in fain I es all
over ihe country, for tho manufacture of bev
cranes called w ine. .
The advantage nf the rhubarb, psrliculnrly
such a rank growth as t'uhoou's seedliug
gives, is that it affords a greater quantity of
juice than any other plant ; and so far us it
nppars to os, it is a hetter quality than any
but grape juice for Ihe manuloctuio of domes
tic wine. Orceuu ft will afford, also, u.i
abundanre t r cheap and good vinegur. Tbo
e'eid or the plunt, aa all pie-makers are aware,
is decidedly sharp.
The Quantity of lihubarb nine for Use.
In our rormer uoIicb, we gave the product of
rhubarb wiue, per acre, as 800 gallons.

lair estimate thai 2.500 gallons Can be n.siiu
from an acre of well cultivated .root of tny

per gallon to tlm manufacturer."
According to this statement, instead orSOD
gallons, pr acre, the product is i.vt r 800 bat
rels, and almost 1b entire cost or the article
would be tliK price paid Lr Ih ogar. Pro
