What a pity that a young man, the hope of his

necessary requisites to promote connubial happi

shadowed with despair and filled with the melan

becomes blighted with our own.

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.

Widow Stacy's Heifer.
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

Mr. Soper's wife has been very sick for

her, which led her last monday, in a faint

'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

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.

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.

taL The principal trouble with the New
Fnsland mills seem almost wholly by over
production. About ten per cent, of the

though thjs is comparatively a small

One reason why this percentage is allowed
to encumber tbe mill owners is that small
dealers throught the country no longer
