Oa the 7tb of October, 1778, tyro ser jants belongig to Colonel Hartley ' regi- xnt, staliond at Muncy, were surprised b the Indian a short distance from the frt, and onerf them was killed and Bcalp- e. The oihtr was supposed to have been Iken prisoer and carried off, as he could cot be founo As Colonel Ilartly had left A portion of lis regiment at Wyomiug, the tVist Branchwas again destitute of the re- qusite nunibe of troops to guard the set tleis, and it ws necessary that a fresh sup ply should b sent. : The volunteer com pany raised or six months' service, and cominaudbd y Murrows, had refused to do their duty Ui the sum of eight dollars per man promisd them by the government was paid. view of this state of affairs. and the urgat necessity for fresh troops to be sent to prtect the rally from the daily iuroads of th savages, a uumber of promi nent citizenswere induced to request Colo nel Hartley f send Colonel Antes, Cap tain Cham bet aud Mr. Maffit as commis sioners to tb executive council, to lay their grievanes before that body and soli cit timely asistance. During the month of November the savages were very bad. They burnedaud destroyed much on the North Brand, and ou the 9th a body con sisting of strenty warriors came to the forks ot Clulfequaquti and took several pri soners, i About thetlose of the year 1778 Colonel II ait ley left the West Branch for another field of duty. ' His departure from the com mand of tne troops was very much regret ted by Colouel II inter and others, as he had done more fortho country during .his stay than any chcr person. Colonel lunter complaiutd that his lot as com mander of the miltia was a hard one, and that the militia ofthis country were hard er to govern thai any o'.her, and never could be brougft under the same degree of decipline as ngulars. He also informed President Reel at tbe same time that agreeably to the resolution of Congress, and the instnetions of council to raise a company of volunteers for six months, ho had appoiuUl tbe following officers : Rob ert Arthur, First Lieutenant, Samuel Ful ton, Second Lieutenant; William Reed, Third Lieitenant, and Andrew Donald son, ensigr.' Their term of service was about to expire, and Captain Mnrrows had gons to tbe board of war with tho muster roll to receive their pay. Some of the mei had paid as high as thirty pounds for a good rifle, hence the government should be prompt in paying them. Captain John Brady, it will be remem bered, commenced the fort which bore his name near Muncy Creek. It was merely a local affair and garrisoned by the inhabi tant! for their own protection. In April, 1773, it became necessary to go up the riv er some distance to procure supplies for the fort, and Captain Brady, taking with him a wagon, team and guard, went and procured what could be had. As he was returiung in the afternoon, riding a line mare and near where the road forked, be ing some distance behind tbe team in con versation with Peter Smith, he suggested the propriety of taking a different route from the one the wagon had gone, as it was shorter. They traveled together till they came to a small stream of water where the other road came in. Brady ob served ; "This would be a good place for the Indiaus to secrete themselves," Smith said "yes." That instant three rifles cracked and Brady fell dead. The mare ran past Smith, who threw himself upon her and was carried to the fort in a few se conds. The garrison hearing the report of the rifles, ran out, and on seeing Smith coming at full speed, anxiously inquired for Captain Brady. His wife was ono of the foremost, and feared the worst. Smith replied : "In heavon or hell, or on his road to Tioga." Meaniug that ho was cither killed or taken prisoner by the Indians. The men immediately ran to the spot, to which the wagon guard had also been at tracted by the firing, and found the brave captaiB lying in the road, his scalp taken off and his rifle gone. The Indians were in such baste that they had not taken eitlibr his watch or shot pouch. This was a hard stroke on Mrs. Brady, bowed down as she was in mourning for the death of her beloved son James the pre vious year. Now her husband by the same relentless hand. Truly her lot was hard. Tbe Peter Smith in company with him was the same whose wife and children were killed near Lycoming, and on whose farm his son James was so barbarously murdered when assisting to cut his harvest. It seemed that bad luck attended this un fortunate man wherever he went. The place where Daptain John Brady was kill ed was a little more than a quarter of a mile from tbe fort by tbe old path, and near where the main road from Muncy to Wil liamsport now crosses Wolf Run. He was taken and buried in the grave-yard at Muncy farm. For many years all trace of tbe hero's grave was lost and his sou, General Hugh Brady, frequently sought for it in vain. One of the daugh ters, the wife of Major Backers, was provi dentially made acquainted with the spot. during a visit soma years ago, where her grandfather was interred. An old revolu tionary soldier named Henry Lebo, who was well acquainted with the Captain and served in his company, had known and marked the spot, and on his death-bed de scribed it and requested to be buried by bis side. His request was granted, and there lies side by side the Captain and his brave compatriot The grave, I am sorry to say, is shamefully neglected and can only be found by the marks of the latter. The people of Lycoming county cannot show better appreciation of true patriotism than by erecting an humble slab at least in per- petuation of the memory of the gallant Brady. ashes repose be marked in this way with a tablet ou which to inscribe tbe many vir tues of the noble dead. The death of Captain Brady took place on the llih of April, 1779. His son Sam uel was at Pittsburg when the sad intelli gence reached him. He also mourned the death of his brother James, but this news served to fill his cup of sorrow, and in the first phreusy of grief he is said to have raised his hand on high and swore : "Aid ed by Him who formed yonder sun and heavens, I will avenge the murder of my father ; nor while I live will I ever be at peace with the Indians of any tribe." This fearful vow was uttered in tbe first moments of anguished fueling, but it was never effaced from his memory. He be came a devoted mankiller, reckless of all sympathy and destitute of all humanity to wards the Indian race. The vow was fear fully fulfilled and many dusky warriors bit the dust. His daring adventures on the Aileghenies would fill a volume. In the latter end of April, 1779, a battle was fought near the summit of the Muncy Hills on the war path leading tlroin Muncy to Sbamokin, between a party of Indians and whites that accidentally met there. It is said that the whites behaved gallently and gained a complete victory. They were under the comn.aud of William Patterson, grand father of the late J. Potter Patterson of Muncy. Tbe numbers engaged on each side and the losses sustained, it is to be re gretted, have not been preserved. Toma bawks and other relics of the contest have often been found on the spot. A tradition is handed d own to this day that at a very early period a party of Indians massacred a white man on this spot by burning at the stake. They stuck his body full of pitch pine splinters and danced around him in fiendish glee, awakening tbe echoes of those dismal mountain solitudes with their de moniac yells. A little superstition is also blended with the tradition, to the effect that no herbage has ever been known to grow in the circle where the terrible deed was consumated. Tbe Indians that met the whites on this lonely path had lain the previous night at the Warrior Spring near Fort Brady. It was a great place of re sort, and rose on the bank of tbe river neat where Port Pen now stands, aud is tbe largest head of spring water known in the Muncy Valley. At this spring old Ego howen, a Muncy Chief, and his compatriots exhibited their hospitalities to Newaluka, of the Great Island, and bis other allies and friends. It was one of nature's hotels at the bead of the Muncy Ripplos. The elm tree overhanging the shore was both hitch ing post aud manger whilst the voyager was regaled at the gravelly bar. The ravages of the Indians had become so great on both branches of the Suaque hauna that it was resolved to march a large army into their country and destroy their villages and cornfields. It was thought that by so doing their arrangements would be so disconcerted that they could no lon ger carry on their system of warfare with advantage and would be compelled to aban don their designs. The command of the expedition was given to General Sullivan, and it proved pretty successful. He march ed np the North Branch in June. General Sullivan required all tbe available troops that could be spared for him in this valley. In view of this the garrison was withdrawn from Fort Muncy, being the second time it was evacuated during the revolutionary warjkudtbe settlements above Freeland's fort were again left in t defenceless and un protected condition. But settlers remain ed, however, to trust themselves to the ro ving bands of saves. The troops were scarcely withdrawn from this post till the enemy appeared in considerable numbers and commenced to burn, murder and de stroy everything before them. On the 3d of June. 1779, they killed two men and took three prisoners at LJcoming Creek. Their names are not given. Following up their work of destruction, they burned widow Smith's mills and killed one man on the 8th of June. These mills are said to have stood where the White Deer mills now stand. The irons were discovered a few years ago in a slough near the river. On the 17th they proceeded near Fort Brady, where they killed two men and took three prisoners, burned Starrett's flouring mill and all the principle bouses in Muucy township. This mill stood near the centre of the valley. Desolation and blood mark ed their course. Many families were car ried into captivity, amougst which was that of Joseph Webster, who lived on Muncy farm. Four of his children were attacked. The eldest, a son, was carried into captivity. Some of the descendants reside near Muncy at the present time. Pushing on their ravages with impunity, they appeared near Fart Freeland on the 21st and surprised several men at work in a cornfield. A son of Jacob Freeland and Isaac Vincent were killed, and Michael Freeland and Benjamin Vincent were la ken prisoners. It is related of young Free- land that on the alarm being given he ran towards a stone quarry, but was pursued and speared in the thigh. He fell near the edge of the quarry, when an Indian pounc ed upon him, but suddenly rising with him on his shoulder, Freeland pitched the In dian over the precipice and would have escaped, bet another Indian came running on him and killed him. Great alarm exis ted among the few remaiuing settlers, and they scarcely knew what to do. Savages lurked behind every bush and no roan was safe when absent from the fort. It was also rumored that an extensive body of British and Indians were making prepara tions to descend upon the valley whilst Sullivan was marching up the North Branch, and to penetrate to Fort Augusta, kill and burn everything before them and take possession of that stronghold.

General Wilson relates an account of a conversation with Mr. Curtis, from which he obtained some interesting personal re miniscences of Washington. During a visit at Arlington house, Ya., iu 185-1, the writ er asked Mr. Custis if Washington could, like Marshal Saxe, break a horseshoe, and the reply that he received was, he bd no doubt be could had he tried, for hia hands were tbe largest and strongest be had ever seen. Mr. Curtis then gave several instan ces of the General's strength, of which I re call the following : When Washington was a young man, be was present on sne occassion, as a looker on, at wrestling games, then tbe fashion io Virginia. Tired of the sport, he bad re tired to the shade of a tree, where he was perusing a pamphlet, till challenged to a bout by the hero of tbe day and the s&tacf est wrestler in tha State. . Vh;(arl-Hhat' U he had a reserved fund of gossip i:.i .:n . j l. -l . . ,"Trtherein, 'you heard 'bout Martha Carter's ..Knr1rl n . n ... .1 u.. i .... i'. vnucu, muuku uj wio reward itmi ire . c. . r , feared to try conclusions with the Mr. Soper's wife has been very sick for some wreks, but, although extremely re duced iu body and mind, there is still ecoughofthe true woman remaining in her, which led her last monday, in a faint wNaper, tosk her husband who had en tered the sick room with a funeral cast of features, what wan tlie news. 'Well.' answered Mr. Soper, sitting un easily down on tire extremely edge of a chair, and balancing his hat on his fingers by the brim, 'there ain't nothing to speak oPn p'ticler. S'pose you heard of Miss Cole'e death ; she Was taken the same time you was." 4I should think, James,' said Mrs. Soper with a feeble emphasis, 'that if you couldn't find soraethin' more cheerful to say to your poor, sick wife, you'd hold your tongue. 'Cert'nly,' said Mr. Soper, meekly, 'only news is sc'ace. Lemma see,' be continued looking thouzhtful!y into the crown of his calmly came forward, and without remov ing his coat grappled with his antagonist. There was a fierce struggle for a brief space of time when the champion was hurled to the ground with such tremendous force as to jar the very marrow in his bones. Another instance of his prodigious pow er was bis throwing the stone aero ss the Rappahannock at Fredericksburg a feat that has never been performed since. La ter in life a number of young gentlemen at Mount Vernon were contending in the ex ercise of throwing the bar. Washington, after looking on some lime, walked forward saying, 'Allow me to try,, and gripping the bar, sent the iron flying through the air twenty feet beyond its usual limits. Still later in his career Washington, whose age was like a rusty .winter, 'frosty, yet kindly,' observed three of his workmen at Mount Vernon, vainly endeavoring to raise a large stone, when, tired of Witnes sing their unsuccessful attempts, he put them aside, and taking it in his iron like gragp lifted it to its place, remounted bis horse and rode on. FARRAGUTi AT TEN. Would you like to know how I was ena bled to serve my country ? It was all ow ing to a rcsolutkn 1 foimed when I was ten years of age. My father was sent down to New Orleans with the little navy we then had, to look after the treason of Burr. I accompanyed him as cabin boy. 1 had some qualities that I thought made a man of me. I could swear like an old salt; could drink as stiff a glass of grog as if I bad doubled Cape Horn, acd could smoke like a locomotive. I was great at cards and fond of gambling in every shape. At tbe close of the dinner one day, my father turned everybody out of tbe cabin, locked tbe door, and said to me ; 'David, what do you mean to be ?' I mean to follow the sea,V 'Follow the sea I' Yes, be a poor misera ble, drunken sailor before the mast, kicked and kutfod about the world and die in some fever hospital iu a foreign clime.' 'No,' I said, 'I'll tread the quarter deck and command as you do.' 'No. David ; no boy never trcd the quar ter deck with such principles, as you have. and such habits as you exhibit. You'll have to change your whole course of life, if you ever become a man.' My father left me and went on deck, I was stunned by tne rebuke, and over whelmed with mortification. 'A poor mis erable drunken sailor before the mast, kicked and cuffed ahout the world, and to die in some fever hospital 1 That's my fate. is it ? I'll change my life, and change it al ouce. I will never utter another oath ; i will never drink another drop of intoxi cating liquors ; I will never gamble.' Aud as God is my witness, 1 have kept those three vows to this hour. The Rcling Passion. Several years ago there was a devoted Baptist named Wilson, living in this county, and be was an ardent Democrat. It was hard to foil which had the warmest place in his affec tions bis wife, tne cuurcu.or the political party. On one occassion he bad several friends spending the eveniug at bis house, and before they retired be took down the family Bible to read a portion of Scripture and have a word of prayer. It so happen ed that he opened the volume at the epis tle to Titus, where the apostle says, 'Put tbeni in mind to be subject to principali ties and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready for every good work.' As it was a habit with him to comment upon the text as he went along, when he came to the pas sage he took off his spectacles, and with a gravity suited to the time and place he re marked : 'There, my friends, is where 1 differ from brother Paul. Mr Jefferson tells us that the true doctrine is just the re verse of this ; that is, men in ollice should always be obedient to tho people, aud I agree with the great author of the Declara tion of Independence. The aostIe was on doubt a great preacher and a good Chris tian, but it is clear enongh he was no Democrat.' Women and Tobaeeo. Women have the right to complain gen erally. They feel better and are more be witching after their little paroxysms of distrust pass away. . But there is reason in all things, and when they complain against tobacco and wage war upon that luxury, they place themselves in a most ridiculous position. But for them there whould have been tobacco, in proof of which let tbem read the life of Franklin, written by himself, in which occurs a tiadition held by the Indians to this day. lie states it in this way : "Unce upon a time a young nunter pursued a deer to the top of a high moun tain and killed it. lie kindled a fire and proceeded to prepare his dinner. He se lected the choice bits of venison and broiled tbem nicely on the coals, and while enjoy ing the repast a woman appeared before him as if she had descended from the clouds or risen out of the earth. She was starved almost, and besought the young hunter to divide his meal with her. He did so in the most hospitable manner. After she had eaten enough and was about to depart she said to the Indian : 'For your great kindness, 1 will confer three blessings upon you.' She touched the ground with her righ hand and Indian corn sprang up; with ber left and whith beans came up ; and where she had aat on tbe ground came up the tobacco plant I And from that day to this men have loved the weed because it was the gift of woman. A snappish-nod of the head from the in valid signified to Mr. Soper that be was on dangerous ground, but after a momenta' reflection he brightened visibly as he said : 'You orter be'n to town meetin' Mond'y The town's voted to have a new hearse, an' I never was so glad of anything in all my life.' 'James Edward Soper.' whispered his wife, with a painful intensity, 'be you a nat'ral born fool, or be you lookin' forrard to gettin rid of me ?' As the later view had never presented itself to Mr. Soper io the light of bis wife's inquiry, he looked very much subdued, and scratched his head with an air of pain ful abstraction as Mrs. Soper said again with a tearful voice : 'Ohyouc'n go. If you can't spare a few moments to set with me, an' jes' giv' me some little intereslin' news I don't want you to stay ag'in your inclination,' she continued with the sigh of a martyr. Mr. Soper hastily expressed his willing ness to remain and desire to please, so af tct a brief interval of thought he contin ued reflectively : 'Well, lemme think. I was over to the Widder Stacy's las' night to see 'f I couldn' make a trade for a Jersey heifer, an' I tell you, Maria,' said Mr. Soper, enthusiasti cally, 'if she ain't a harnsum crecter, I never see one.' An ominous light appeared in Mrs. So per's sunken eyes, and if her husband had been observing closely he would have seen a restless motion of the hands, indicative of an apparent desire to make a personal attact upon s.)me one or something, but he saw nothing, aud continued : 'She's ji:8t about the right size, an' her skin's as white as snow. She's got the pootiest legs,' continued tho unreflecting Mr. Soper, with a descriptive motion of the baud ; 'an' when you come to talk about shape why, M'ria,' said Mr. Soper, rising from his chair iu his warmth, 'she'll meas ure twl) foot across her breast' The scream which come from the afflict ed invalid at this juncture was of such piercing shrillness that Mr. Soper placed his fingers in his ears, and Mrs. Soper's mamma, who was in the next room, ap peared on the scene in the twinkling of an eye. 'Ob, you awful brute !' she exclaimed as she bathed her daughter's brow with hair oil in mistake for camphor, while the wretched man feebly endeavored to explain that he was ouly telling Mrs. Soper about a Jersey heifer that be was going to bny. 'There, ma.' said Mrs. Soper, with a grasp, I'm better now.' 'You'd belter leave the room,' said the matron with a world of significant wrath in ber eye, and ihe unfortunate Soper de parted multeiiug as he slammed the out side behind him, that he'd be master in bis own house some day ; but he hasn't been yet, for Mrs. Soper has recovered, and her mother has taken up a permanent residence with them. To this day they don't speak to the Widow Stacy, and Mr. Soper's reiterated explanation has always been receivad in diiinitied and incredulous silence. Notwithstanding the dullness of the past year, some of the cotton manufac turers appear to have made money, as shown by the reports of tbe annual meet ings. The Manchester, New Hampshire, mills, for instance, realized a prodt of $2.8,808 on 27,861,3S yards of printed, dyed aud finished good, of which gHO.000 was paid .to stockholders it two dividende, and 118,000 added to tho working sapi taL The principal trouble with the New Fnsland mills seem almost wholly by over production. About ten per cent, of the whole product hods no market, and al though thjs is comparatively a small amount, it has a strong tendency to make the buiness of manufacturing unprofitable. One reason why this percentage is allowed to encumber tbe mill owners is that small dealers throught the country no longer carry such heavy stcks as formealy. The jurymen in the Beecher trial Con tend that they are entitled to extra pay for their sevices, and have not given up hope of getting it. They have recently held several meetings and at last a commitee has been appointed to draw np a petition to the Board of Supervisors in Brooklyn. The petition is signed by all the jurymen, except Whalen and Jeffreys.
