From the New York Ledger. THE KAItaVY LIFE OF UE5T. OKA.W. BT HIB FATHER. The General comes .of a good fighting stock. - Bis great grandfather, Cspt. Noah Grant, a native of Windsor, now Tolland, Conn., was killed in the battle at White Plains, in 1758; his great grandfather's brother, Lieut. Solomon Grant, was killed in the same battle. I have in my possession an original muster-roll mado out by Capt. Koali Grant, in 1755 the year before hie death. His own name heads it as captain ; the names, dates of service, and "quality" of the men are duly entered in separate columns; and as illustrative of the sentiment of those early days, one hundred and twelve years ago, on tho military aspect of color, I may quote the following designations ol socio of the privates : "Prince, negro." "Jupiter, negro." Captain Noah Grant's son, Noah Grant, also a native of Connecticut, was my father; and if be did not get killed in battle like his worthy sire, it was not because he did not perseverinKlv take all the chances of such a death, for he fought in the Revolu-1 viunury war, irom oeginoing to ena over seven years. He was a Lieutenant of militia at the battle of Lexington. This long period of soldering spoilt him for all financial busi ness. My mother who was his second wife was ao excellent manager, and, while she lived, the family were always in comfortable circumstances ; but after death in 1805 we bad to separate, and that impressed upon the minds of all of us a lesson which we never forgot. She left seven children the oldest only twelve. Every one of them subsequently became wealthy. My father was born rich, and was a man of education; but he died poor. His children were born poor, but acquired a comfortable competen cy. I was born in Westmoreland county, Penn sylvania, January 23, 1794. When I was five years of age, I was taken by my father, who emigrated with his family, to that part of the Northwestern Territory which is now Columbiana county, Ohio. When I was ten years of age he moved to Portage county in the Western Reserve. At sixteen, I was regularly apprenticed to my balf-brother to learn the taming business, at Msysville, Kentucky. I faithfully served out my ap prenticeship ; and soon after I became of age, set up business for myself, at Ravenna, Portage county, Ohio. Ilere I suffered a severe and protracted illness from fever and ague, which finally compelled me to relinquish business. The 1 savings of four years were consumed by by the expenses of this sickness. In 1820 1 settled temporarily at a small place , called Point Pleasant, situated direetly on the Ohio river, twenty-five miles above Cincin nati ; and in June, 1820, 1 was married to Miss Hannah Simpson, and commenced housekeeping at that place. Here, on the 87th day of April, 1823, our first child, Ulysses S. Grant, was born. The honse in which this event occored ia still standing. Five other children three daughters and two sons were subsequently added to our family. One son and one daughter, both grown and both single, died of consumption during the late war. Industry, frugality and perseverence made me fortunate in business and enabled me to accumulate a competency for myself and my fumily. In 1855, at the sge of sixty, I meas urably retired ; that is, I withdrew from the direct personal supervision of my business. My sons, Simpson Grant since deceased and Orvil L. Grant now of Chicago continued the business for twelve years, in my name, and made more than twice as much money aa we bad ever made before. We always had the reputation of making the very best of leather we tauned with nothing but oak, and that made it superior. About two years ago, I had made' up my mind that I should eojoy more seeing the principal part of my property in the posses sion of my children than I should keeping it in my own. General Grant said he had done nothing toward making it, and he did not want any of it. The Government had provided for him so well that I acquiesced in his view. My son Orvil, who is in busi ness in Chicago, received the larger share; and my daughters got about twenty-five thousand dollars apiece. I kept enough for myself. My early opportunities for education were extremely limited. I never went to school but about five months in my life, though I I took lessons in English grammar lor tour weeks after I was married. I have taken a pretty active interest, gen erally, in the political questions of the day though not to the neulect of mv Drivata af faire. I wrote the "platform which was arlopted at the last Whig State Convention that ever assembled at Columbus, and play ed a part in the first election of Salmon P. Cbaae as Governor of Ohio. I was never what was technical! known as an Abolitionist, but I never beld a slave. I made up my mind, when I was a young man, tnai t wouia never nave sieves, mat wag the reason that I left Kentucky and went to Ohio. I would not own slave, and I would not live where there were slaves and not own them. I voted for General Jackson for president every time be waa a candidate that is, three times. Mrs. Grant was the second daughter of John BimDton. of sontgomery county, j'enn- svlvanla. Bhe waa born and brought-ap ia that eoonty, about twenty miles from Phil adelphia, when ia bet nineteenth yea aba removed with Her lamer to Clermont coun ty, Ohio. The family were very bigbly re. cpectable people of veracity and integrity; kJt H. B. MASSER & CO., SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH but not of any particular ambition beyond that of living independent farmers. Mrs. Grant's father waa worth some pro perty ; but it waa all in land, and he kept it until be died. ; ... It was nearly three years after their re moval to Clermont that we were married. A few of the neighbors expressed their sur prise that one of Mr. Simpson's daughters should marry a j ouux man hardly yet estab lished to business. But this did me uo harm, and as soon aa it was seen how I wa getting along, I heard nothing more nf it. 1 supposed there could bardlv be a marriage at which somebody would not be surprised. I was not worth a dollar when I marrU-d ; but I did not stay that way long; end as soon as I was known to be prosperous the neighbors seemed to think the match was exactly the thing just what I bad thought from the beginning. At the time of our marriage, Mrs. Grant waa an unpretending country girl ; hand some, but not vain. She bad orcviouslv joined the Methodist church, and I can truthfully say that it has never had a moro devoted and consistent member. Her steadi neu, firmness and strength of character have been the stay of the family through life. She was alwayt careful, and most watchful over ber children but never aus tere, and not opposed to their free partici pation in innocent amusements. The lead ing passion of Ulysses, almost from the time he could go alone, was for horses. The first time he ever drove a horse alone, he was about seven and a half years old. I hod gone away from homo to Ripley, twelve miles off. I went in the morning, and did not get bark until night. I owned at the time a three year old colt, which had been, ridden under the saddle .to carry the mail, but bad never had a collar on. While I was cone. Ulysses got the colt and nut a collar and the harness on him, and hitched him up to a sled. Then be puta single lino on to him and drove off, and loaded up the sled with brush and came back again. He kept at it, haulitg successive loads all day, and when I came home at nielit, be had a bile, of brush at big as a cabin. He used to harness borscs when be bad to get np in the maner to put the bridle and collar on, and-then turn the half bushel over to stand on that to throw the harness on. At eight and a half years of age he bad become a regular driver, and used to work my team all day, day alter day, hauling wood. There would be a man in the woods to load, and another at the house to unload but Llysses would drive the team. At about ten years of age bo used to drive a pair of horses alone from Georgetown, where we lived, forty miles, to Cincinnati, and bring back a load of passengers. When Ulysses was a boy, il a circus or any show came along, in which there was a call for somebody to come forward acd ride a pony, ne was always the one to present himself, and whatever be undertook to ride be rode. This practice he kept up. until he got to be so large that he was ashamed to ride a pony. Once, when be was a boy, a show came along in which there was a mischievous pony, trained to go round the ring like lightning, and be was expected to throw any ooy tnat attempted to rule bim. "Will any boy come forward and ride this pony I" shouted the ring master. Ulysses stepped forward and mounted the pony. The performance began. Round, and round, and round the ring went the pony, faster, making- the greatest effort to dismount the rider. But Ulysses sat as steady as if he bad grow n to the pony's back. Presently out came a large monkey and sprang up behind Ulysses. The people set up a great shout of laughter, and on the pony ran ; but it all produced no effect on the rider. The the ring master made the monkey Jump upon to Ulysses shoulders, standing with bis feet on his shoulders, and witn bis nanas noiaing on to bis hair. At this there was -another and a still louder shout, but not M muscle of Ulysses' face moved. There was not a tremor of bis nerves. A few more rounds and the ring master gave it up ; be bad come across a boy that the pony and the monkey both could not dismount. Ulysses had the habtt of riding our horses to water standing up on their bare backs. lie began this practice when about five years old. At eight or nine be would ride them at the top of their peed, he standing upon oue foot and balaccing himself by the bridle reins. The ground over which be nsed to make these performances was a lit tle descending towards the river; a near neighbor's boy who undertook to rival bim in speed, although without standing up, was unfortunately thrown from bis horses and killed. He always broke his own borscs. I never knew a horse to balk bim. He used to get one colt perfectly broken, and then put another in by the tide of him. He bad a most wonderful faculty for breaking horses to pace; it became known in the neighbor hood and people used to apply to him to break tbeir borset to pace ; but be bad an idea that it waa degrading and would never undertake it Ooe day a neighbor came to me aud said : 'Ulysses bai a remarkalilo faculty to teach a horse to pace ; I have a fine young horse, now bow can I get Ulysses to teach bim to pacef' Bays I : . "You tnusn't say a word to bim about it ; but send biui on a mission to some place, and get bim, while be is gone, to teach the horse to paco." Bald be : "1 will do it" Bo he came over again and said to Ulysses : "I want to send a letter, in a hurry, thirteen miles, to Deca tur, abd I will give you two dollars to get on my horse and carry it" Ulyttee was then nine or ten years old. He was fond of making money, and fond of that kind ot business, and be answered will go." Just at be was starting off the owner of the boras cried out after bim i UJ want you to t&acX that horn to faeo " The bone bad never paced a step before, but Ulysses accomplished the task. He re turned the horse at night a perfect pacer. The letter waa all a sham. Ulysses found out the trick, and -nobody after thai could ever get bim to break a bona to pace. When Ulyasea was in bis twelfth year be was very email for bis age. At that time I bad takea the contract to build the Jail in Brown county. The prison was to be of loga newtt a leot square ena tourteen ieet long, These bad to be bauled about two miles from the woods where they were cut to the site of the JaiL I generally worked email, or rather medium sited horses, but I happened to nave one very large one. A neighbor bad one about the same else, and Ulvsaea was go aniious that I should buy him, that be eaid to me one day, "Father, if yoo will buy that bone I will drive team until all tbe logs are bauled," I agreed to AWTOTflAl SUNBURY, NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENN'A. 21, 1868. OLD do it, but without any idea that he could possibly bold out to work the team over a week he was such a little bit of a follow. I even hired another man to work the team and bim to go along with Ulysses ; hut not to let him know until the boy was tired out, what he was hired for. The man accompa nied him for a number of days, when be came to me and said : "There is no use in my going with the boy any lenger ; he un derstands the team and can manage it as well as I can, and better, too. There's no use in my following him round." Oue day, after hauling a load, Ulysses took the team out and said to mo : "The men are not in tho woods hewing to-day and there is no need of my going back this afternooo, as I can keop up with their hewing to-morrow ; and there is no body there to help load." "Nobody there to help loadt" said I. "Why bow did you load this morning I" "Oil, Dave and I loaded." be answered. Dave was tbe nauie of the big horse I bonght "You and Dave loaded I What do you mean ?'' eaid I, for I considered it absolutely impossible that a child of his size should have got such immense logs into tho wa gon without help. "Yes," said he, "Dave and I loaded. I took a chain and hitched on to the end of the logs, and we managed to get tbeui in." He then explained bow it was done. A large sugar tree had been felled, so that it lay aslant, one end resting ou the ground and tbe other elevated, lie. had hitched tbe horse, Dave, to the end of a hewn log, and hauled it up on to this sutrar tree, the end projecting over far enough to back tho wagon under it. Three made a load : aud when he cot three hauled up in this way. Im backed the hind end of the wagon up unaer liicm, ana hitching the powertul horse in front by means of a lone chain which extended over the whole length of the wagon body, he pulled them one at a time into the wagoo. This was much talk ed of in tho neighborhood, as it was con sidered a great achievement for a boy of his sizo. Ho worked the whole seven months and until the job was finished, hauling those logs, and other material for tbe building, with the exception of a single week. That week I sent him to Louisville. It was necessary for me to have a deposition taken there, to be used in a law suit in which I was engaged in tho State of Connec ticut. I bad written moro than once about it to my lawyers, but could not get the bu siness done. "I can do it," said Ulysses. So I sent him on tbe errand alone. Before he started I gave him an open letter that he might show the captain of the boat, or any one else, if he should have occasion, stating that he was my son and was going to Louis ville on my business.'

MISCELLANEOUS. From Vallandigham's Organ, Dayton, Ohio. Yallundlliam on tbe Ievr York World. The World is a so called "Democratic" newspaper, publibhcd in New York city. Its editor is one Manton Marble; iu proprietors are S. L. M. Barlow, end sundrv other wealthy gentlemen of venal Democracy. The World was originally "created" in some thing over six days, as a religious newspaper, and still retains faint traces of its origin. Its old red sandstone was puritan piety ; iu secondary formation waa shoddy and army contracu, especially straw bau and Summer clothing for the soldiers in mid winter; iu Iflrflurv atur Una wiaa . Aa a ruliolina Iaiip. J - -v..ft.... JWUl . nal it failed ; its contracu, Congress explo-1 ded ; as an intensely "loyal" organ it could 1 not compete witn tne irttntne, tbe Timet, tbe Herald, and half a score of others. Yet something must bo done, and Marble de manded of Mayor Updyke material aid, money to carry it on; sayiotr. as Mr. Oodvko testified under oath, tbut he preferred great ly to remain a Republican, as be waa in principle, but that il the party did not fur nish bim with means he would sell out to the Democrats. And be did ; office, type, presses, nxiures, and nimseu good win be had none to sell. Since that time (1862-8). he has "hung upon the verge" of tbe Demo cratic party, ignoring iu principles, under mining its organization, and assailing its publio men, according to the order of bis purchasers and owners. The World has no circulation in central and southern Ohio, and very little in any part of the State. The Democracy of Ohio have never bad any sympathy with it, or its antecedeuU, or its style, or iu politics, and will hereafter have still less. The Treasury Statement. The March statement of the National Treasury appeared on Saturday, and, con trary to tbe preliminary announcement, it appears that the actual debt has diminished $4,177,607. The iucrease of tho idle bal ance in tho Treasury has been f .,308,111. Tbe coin lying useless in the Treasury amounts to $106,623,874, of which t25,699, 369 is represented by gold certificates of deposit in circulation, leaviug tS0,024,013 that mjght be applied to paying off the debt Tho coin balance has not been in creased during the mouth by the gold certi ficate, for it appears that they have been reduced ,3,919.911. Tbe teu forty -five per cent gold bond, bave been increased f 5, 045,200 ; tbe six per cent gold bonds of 1867 and 1868 bave been reduced 80,200, and the five-twenty gold bonds have been increased ,8,74.2,950, making the net in crease of the coin interest debt 118,797.050. The seven-thirties bave been reduced $11, 802,750. There is again an increase in tbe fractional currency of $61,621, and the reen backs bave been reduced slightly. laving increased the debt unnecessarily during the last few months, Mr. M'Cullocn seem to be now engsged in bis usual game of see saw, reducing it again.

Anecdote of Sherman. When General Sherman was at Atlanta, preparing for hi famous "march to the sea," an order was promulgated directing all civilians to leave Atlanta (North and South) within twelve days. The day of iu ifcsuo a gentleman entered Sherman's office, and inquired for the General. Tbe latter answered very promptly, "I am General Sherman." The colloquy was very nearly as follows : Citizen General, I am a Northern man, from the State of Connecticut ; have been living at Atlanta for nearly seven years; have accumulated considerable property here, 'and as I see that you have ordered all citizens to leave within twelve days, I came to see if you would make an exception in my case. I fear, if I leave, my property will be destroyed. Gen. Sherman What kind of property do you own, sir. Perhaps I will make an exception in your case, sir. Citizen I own a block of stores, three dwelling, a plantation two miles out of town, and a foundry. Gen. Sherman Foundry, eh ! What have you been doing with your foundry! Citizen Have been making castings. Gon. Sherman What kind of castings! Shot and shell, and all that kind of thlug ! Citizen Yes, sir, I have made somo shot and shell. Gen. Sherman You have been making shot and shell to destroy your couutry, bave VOU ! And VOU Still claim favnr nn amnnnf of being a Northern man I Yes, sir, I will tunne au exception in your case ; you shall go South to morrow morning at sunrise. Adiutant.

Tbe following snake story we find in an exchange : In speaking of snakes, I am reminded of an anecdote I once heard of the wife of an Indian railway official, who was trimming with a large knife some plants which formed a border to a flower-bed. She was cntting the tops off, and, while so engaged, she was scared by seeing the coils of oce of the most deadly serpenu of tbe country among the leaves. With a loud shriek she dropped the knife and the. plants, and a man em ployed in the garden ran to ber assistance. On hearing tho cause of ber alarm, be sought to kill tbe snake with bis boe ; tbe creature was plainly to be seen writhing about, but, although struck, it made uo ef fort to escape or turn on iu assailant. At last it lay motionless, and the gardener ven tured to pick it up, when he found it was headless. To tbe horror ot tbe lady, the head was discovered among tbe leave which bbe bad thrown down on seeing tbe suake ; she bad grasped it unconsciously among me top. oi tne pianu, and witn her garden knife had severed it from tho body. Tbe bite of that specie of nako was usually fatal in six hours. A Lake Dried Ui. A few days ago tbe water from Ottawa Lake, iu Monroe county, Michigan, all at once disappeared. Tho Cold water Gazetto states that tbe water bad begun to subside or some days, and tho teamsters who carried stone from the lake noticed that the holes at which they watered their cattle were crowded with fish. They increased in numbers, both large and small, the former having their mouths wide open, and so exhausted that the people caught them with tbuir hands. The work of quar rying and hauling stones wo soon aban doned, and in a ehort time score of team and hundreds of men might be seen on and aiouud tbe lake. The men, with handspikes, crowbar and axe, were busily engaged in cutting and raising huge piece of ice, and then stooping down and lifting the fish, tome of which were dead, some alive, and some frozen fast in tbe ice, for the water having departed from tbe lake by some sub terraneous paaaage, the vast sheet of ice lay on tbe bottom. For three day immense quantities offish were carried away, princi pally pickerel and bats, while vast quanti ties of white fish were left to rot on the ice and in the mud for mud and ice are all that is left of Ottawa Lake. Numerou piece of the ice are left (standing on edge, like so many grave (tone. The lake, or rather iu bed or grave-yard, prescnU a novel scene. Some say tbe water will aoon return by the tame oirce by whloh it departed. bringing a fresh uppfy of fish with it for Lake Erie ie supposed to be iu headquar ter. Meantime tbe farmer in tbe viciuity irreatlv feel the loss of tbe departed waters.

A larger still is in process ot erection by r mucr Bros., one of our most enterprising oil firms. The largest tank, when completed, will hold 16, 000 barrels ; bosides this they have two smal ler ones, ono holding e,400, tbe otber 1,200. Burcbfiuld. Casterline & Co., bavo laid tbe foundation for a larger tank ; theirs will bold I3,uuu barrels. Joliu aiuuiiall s tank boldt, we were informed, 800 barrels. A small one, owned by Mr. Wilson, holds 44 barrel. One, commenced by a company whose name we could not learn, Is estimated to hold when finished 6,000 barrels. Thus, by a close a computation as we were able to ob tain, tne taokugo in Venango City hy April first will be in the neighborhood of 60,000 barrels, and nearly if not all this is in con sequence of the completion of the Allegheny Valley liailroad to this point.
