lowing facts from several citizens - of Bark
hamsted t— . .i.
“A Narragatos'dll'lndian left! his hunting
grounds in Rhode Island, because a young
Indian maiden .■ ofirbuj ',lrlberhad-refused to
marry him. aod linking' , his’ way to .Weth
ersfield, upon the Connecticut river, tarried
there, "many moons,” and won-the affections
of a young while lady, who had declared, to
spite bef friends, t|tal she marry the
ftrst.'man, black or white, whgWuldgifo her
tt.chance. The Indian had becomq known
among the white* .-as James ■Cbengam-t he
privately married the-rash maiden—friends
got wind of it—flight was pecessary.
•‘Till? ,happy couple tb Bkrkh'afrife'd,
and bought a tract,of land on the banks of
the Tunxis. region .was i hen a wilder
ness, o/jd no cabins were erected fit this part
of the to wp. They built p rude huj, and
lived in it from 1778 to dT’flO, When 'James
Changnm died. He left two sons and six
daughters, whose dusky feature's and straight
black hair showed,Narragahselt Olodd. One
of the daughters, of Chapgam married a while
mao, named William Wilson, and settled up
on a plantation near the paternal wigwam,
and was the mother of twelve children. Wil.
son persuaded hisNarragaosell bride to adopt
a more civilized costume,' and he would build
b house after the fashion of his paleface breth
ren, who now began to settle around him.—
Bully consented, and so a Ihuge domicil was
constructed out of Jogs and lumber, that soon
became a laughing-stock for all the people in
that vicinity, because it was badly construc
ted. There wbre holes in lha walls ihrobgh,
which a man could have thrown his beaver
and never haver damaged its surface,
“In the year 1800, a turnpike road was
built from Hartford to Albany, and it was laid
out directly by the door of his oiry mansion.
It was soon used as a great thoroughfare to
Berkshire county, Massachusetts, and people
in passing the bouse of Wilson, and observ
ing the large fires ho always kept burning un
til a late hour at night, soon became accus
tomed to the fiery appearance of this Indian
Wigwam mansion. As wood cost nothing, and
was plenty in this region, immense quantities
were consumed in the old fashioned fireplace
of this wayside wonue;.
The light of (tic blazing fire was always
seen at night through (ha crevices of the bad
ly-constructed wails, Snd as travellers soon
became familiar with the house on account of
it* luminous appearance, they gave it the name
cf Barkhamsied Light House,
“Under this name the rickety old mansion
of Wilson become celebrated. The name
i* now not only familiar to the citizens of
Connecticut, but widely known in other
States.

Mr. Editor :—The following recipe'fora
compost to be used upon potatoes I took, sev
eral years ago, from a lecture delivered be
fore the Tioga County Agricultural Society,
by Dr. Lee, of Buffalo, i have frequently
made use of the compost, and generally with
benftcial results. The philosophy of the
mailer is simply this, the potato contains the
chemical elements found in the ingredients
used, and if the soil is wanting in any or all
of them, the deficiency is supplied by the
compost. As the articles are cheap, and ea
sily procured, it might be well Tor farmers
lo try the experiment on a small scale nt
leas.
Take one-balf bushel unleached ashes ;
one peck of plaster; four quarts of lime;
and two quarts of common salt, ond mix
them well. After the potatoes are dropped,
and hbfore covering, throw in to the hill a
mong the potatoes a quantity of (he compost
—about as much as a person would natur
ally take from a vessel with the hahd. Af
ter (ha potatoes have been covered throw
about the same amount on the lop of the hill.

Nutritive Qualities op fire Onion.—
It is worthy of notice as an extensive artjcle
of consumption in this country. It is large
ly cultivated at home (in England,) and is
imported lo the extent of 700 or 800 tons a
year from Portugal and Spain. But it lises
in importance when we consider that in these
Uttar couritries it forms one of the common
and universal supports of life. It is interest
ing, therefore, to know that in addition lo the
peculiar fli'or which first recommends it, the
onion is remarkably nutritious. According
to my analysis, the dried onion root contains
from 25 to 30 per cent, of gluten. It ranks
in (his respect with the nutritious pea, and
the gram of the East. It is not merely as a
relish, therefore, that ihe Spaniard eats his
onion with his humble - trhsl Of - bread; as he
sits by the refreshing spring; it is because
experience has long proved that, like- the
cheese of Ihe English laborer, it helps to sus
tain bis strength also, and adds—beyond what
its bulk wgnld suggest —to the amount of
nourishment which his simple meal suggests.

THIS, remedy is offered Ip the community with
the confidence wo Teel In on article which ®ct«
dom fails to realize the happiest effects that can be
desired. So wide u the field of its usefulness and
so-numerous thq caeca ol its cures, UmL almost every
section of the country in persons, publicly
know*, who have been restored from alarming and
even desperate diseases of-the lungs, by its use.
When once tried its superiority over every other
medicine of its kind, is too apparent to e&capeobser*
yaUon, and where Up vetoes are known, the public
no longer hesitate what' antidote to employ for the
distressing and dangerous affections of'the pulmo»
hary organs, which are incident to our climate.
Notiung has called louder for the earnest enquiry
of medical men, than the alarming prevalence and
fatality of consumptive complaints, nor has any one
class' of diseascs had more of their investigations
and care. But as yet no adequate remedy has been
provided, on which the public could depend for pro
: taction from attacks upon the respiratory organs, on
till the introduction of the CHfEftRV PECTORAL,
This article is t oh prod net of a long, laborious, and
1 believe successful endeavor, to fbroiahlhccommu.
nity with'such a remedy. ‘ Of this last statement
the American people are now ihemsclycs.prepared to
judge, and I appeal with confidence to their decision
IF there is any dcpcndancc to be placed in what men
of every class and station certify U has done for them,
if we can trust our own senses, when we see dan
geroua affections of the throat and lungs yield to it,
if we car) depend on the assurance of intelligent phy.,
sicians, who make it theif business to know, —in
sfiortj if there is any reliance upon anything, then
is it irrefutably proven that this medicine does re-
Hove and does cure the class of diseases it is de
signed for,, beyond any and all others that are know,
to mankind. If this be true, it cannot be too freely
published, hor bo to widely known. The afflicted
should know it A remedy that cures, is priceless
to (hem. Parents should know it, their children are
rlcdess to them. All should know it, for health can
can be priced to no ono. Not only should it be cir
culated ncre, but every where, not only in thiscoun
try but in all countries. How faithfully we have
aclcdlonthis conviction, is shown in the fact that
already this article has made the circles of the globe.
The sun never seU on its limits. No continent is ,
without it and hut few peoples. Although nut in so
general use in other nations as in this, |t is employ-?
ed by the mnn- intelligent in almost all civilized
oountries. ft is extensively employed in both Amer
ica. in Korop#*, Asia,’;Africa, Australia and the far 1
off islands of the sea. Life is as dear to its posses
sors there as here, and they grasp at a valuable re
medy with even more avidity. Unlike most prepa
rations of its kind, it is an expensive composition ol
costly materials. Still it is afforded to the public
at a reasonably low price, and what is of vastly mora
importance to them, its quality is nevey suffered to
decline from Us original standard of excellence.
Every bottle of this medicine, now manufactured, is
as good as ever has been made heretofore, or as we
are capable of moking. No toil or cost is spared, in
maintaining it in lire best perfection wbjich it is pos.
sible to produce. Hence the patient who procures
the genuine Cnaaav Pectoral, can rely on having
as good an article as has ever been had by (hose
who testify to its curea^
By pursuing this course, I have the hope of doing
some good in the world, as well as the satisfaction
of believing that much has been done already.
