SENNA. ijjCounty, or re runs 14,] 1 * ■' Aa The following exciting story! appears in the Gardiner Daily Pearl and any | one who is dis posed tp try a laugh will do well to read on. ' John Jackson was a very industrious, hard working young man, of twenty three years.— Being the eldest child and only son, he had remained at home, assisting hts father upon the farm. John was much respected by eviiry one in the neighborhood ; and many a bright eyed girl had secretly thought she wujuld like to change her name to Mrs.< John Jajtkson. But John was no “ lady’s mho.”— Thie fact was, John was very bashful; lie vydhSf rather hoe potatoes all day, than jinder gßthe ceremony of an introdmltionto a !young 'tadyr Not that John disliked! the deaii crea tures—far from it; we.believeithat he, in com mon with all bashful but well-mennipg men, entertained the very highest respact aqd admi ratieqfor'tbem. And this, no doubt, was the principhhcQuse for bis bashftilness. He felt that they were-spnerior beings,’,and {bqlt be was unworthy to assecihte with them upon terms of equality. But we cannot to moralize. Nancy Clark was the daughter of a very re spectable fanner, whose land adjoined the (Tack eon farm. Nancy was a prefty, saucy little wjtcb, and she liked John Jacknon. When they were Children, they attended the same school, and as he was a few years her senior, was usually h’Cr tthatnp.ion l in the cfyldisb disputes that arose and her companion in going and .re turning. At lasfjo'hn beenmh so much of a young man As to ha kept from 1 school during the summer, and when winter came ha found that Nancy had become a young woman, and did not ask him to take bet band as they walked home from school, as she had in past years. John discovered too, that he bad been growing in Stature, and it seemed as though ho had been growing out of shaped His feet and legs appeared Very Awkward—he didn't know what to do with his hands—bis face pafyed. him, and taking all in alike 1 was inclined to think that he was not more than half put together. Now the truth was, John Jncksoh was really a fine looking young man, and, nothing) but his admiration of Nancy would have ever sugges ted any 1 such foolish thoughts about himself. From this time they continued to be more and ntore reserved towards each oth’eh, Until the occurrence of the foot-race which we are about to narrate. Yet all the time, John jvas secretly in love with Nancy. Mah'y a Sunday he had hij behind the barn and peeped; by the corner to catch glimpses of her; as she walked through the fields. | As the novelists say, it was a loVeiy day in August ■ The'heavens, were clear, serene and beautify!, the trees were laden With golden fruit, and thcj beautiful birds twittenfy their songs of love in the branches'.

Sud denly it opcuurred tooJuhn that if be remained about the house in the afternoon, he would be cnlledln at tea time and required toj do the honors of the table. To avoid this, he; quietly shouldered bis gcythejand stole away to the mea dow, half a mile distant, fully resolved that he would npt leave there until it was so dark, that he could not see U) mow, andayoid meeting the girls: ! ■; , j, , . - The qjeadpw was surrounded, on all tides by . a'thick forest, whibheffjctuaily jhut oiit what little breeze there might chance to be stirring.

With a tre mendous spring, started off with the speed of a locomotive. His first jump took the -snake clear from the ground, and as John-stole a hasty glance over his shulder, he was horrified to findjthe reptile securely fastened to the ex tremity of his only garment, while the speed with vijhich be rushed forward kept the serpent extended at an angle of ninety degrees with ,his body. Here'was a quandary. If he stopped', the snake would coil about bis body and squeeze him tqjdeatb; if he continued the race, be must soon fijll from sheer exhaustion. On he flew, scarce [daring to think how his dreadful race was to! end.- Instinctively he had taken the direction of home, and as he emerged from the forest, jand began to catoh glimpses of the house, a feeling of security came over him. Suddenly, flashed across his mind the true state of affairs —bis Bather gone—the quilting, and worst of all, tha girls! This new horror sent the blood back, curdling about his heart, and he came to a deadjhalt. The.next foment he felt the body of the i sold olammji' monsterin contact with his bare legs, bis tail] creeping around them in a sort o: only r cozening i ed Stated a John upon the knbes. This wns too much for human endurance.— With i yell, such as man never utters save when i n mortal terror, prior John again set for ward afc break-neck speed, and once "more had the pleasure of seeing the snake resume his horizontal position, somewhat after the fashion of t}ie till of a cnnjiet. On, on they flew! John forgot the quilting, forgot the girls J—forgot -every thing hut the snake. For the first time in his life he. was, “ seriously thinking of his latter end.” His i ctive exercise, (he paid particular atten tion to bis running,) together with the exces sive heat, had btjought on the “nose-bleed,” and as be ran, with ears erect and bead thrown back, his chin, throat, and shirt bosom were stained ,with the flowing stream. His i.rst, wild shriek had started the qullter?, and for ;h they rusted, wondering if some .mad Indian was not prqwling about. By this time John was within a very few rods of the, barn, still running at the top of his speed, his. bead turned so that he might keep one eye on' the snake, md with the other observe the course he must take.' The friendly barn now conceal ed him from the sight of the girls. He knew they wore in the yard, having caaght a glimpse of thent as they rushed from the house. A few more b'tonds and he should be in their midst. For a moment modesty overcame fear, and he once mi re halted. The snake, evidently pleased with hi j rapid transportation, manifested his gratitude by attempting to enfold the legs of our hero within his embrace. With an explosive “ ouch” hndurged forward by “ci cumstance ocer which he had no con trol," {dor John hounded on. The next mo ment h i'was in full Tew of the girls, and as be turned by the corner of the barn, the snake came n und with a whiz somewhat after the fashion of a conch .whip. Haviig reached the barn-yard, to his dismay he found the bars up. But time was now too preciouiko he wasted in letting down bars.— jGathering all his Strength, he bounded idto the air, snake ditto, and as he alighted upon the other side, his snakethip’s tail cracked across the upper bar, snapping like an India cracker. Again 'John Set forward, now utterly regard- Jess of lie presence of the girls, for the 1 extra tickle from the snkke’s tail, ns he leaped the bars' btnished nlllhis bashfufness and modesty !_:nnd again fee had the Jjteaiuiro of finding the snake iii a straight line, drawing steadily at the hem of his solitary garment. ’the 1 duse hdw becathe the center of altrao traction, and around it be revolved with the speed o ’ thought.

The Harpers have, Just published the Fifth Volume of Bancroft’s History of England. We take from it the following interesting upopnnt of thej famous Pirate and ner: “ Some years before, while the war wnajrtiil raging, there had been loud complaints ih ihe city that even privateers of St. Halo's and Dunkirk caused less molestation to: trade' than another class of marauders.. The Englistrfmvy was fully employed in the'Channel, in the At-' luntic-and in the Mediterranean. The Indian Ocean, meanwhile! swarmed with pirates, of whose’rapacity and cruelty frightful stories were told. Many of these'.'men, it was said, camefrom our Jforth American colonies, and carried back to those colonies spoils gained by crime. Adventurers who durst not' sh’owt themselves in the Thames found a ready mar ket fbr their ill-gotten apices and'stuff* at New York. Even the Puritans of New England, who ip sanoliimonious austerity surpassed even their brethren of Scotland, were accused’ of, conniving at the wickedness which enabled them to enjoy abundantly and cheaply the pro duce of. Indian looms and Chinese tea planta tions.: ■ ■ “ In 1693 Richard Coote, Earl of Bellamont, an Irish pear; who eat in the English House of Commons, was appointed Governor of JJew York and Massachusetts. Ha was a man of eminently fair character, upright, courageous and independent. Though a decided whig, he’ bad distinguished himself by bridging before the Parliament at Westminster some tyrannical acts done by. whig* at Dublin, and particularly the execution; if it is not'rather {Re called the murder, of Oafney. Before ifjellamnnt sailed,for America. William spoke strongly to him about tfiie freeb.ootihg which was the dis grace of the colonies. “ ; l send'yoih my lord, to New York," be said, “ because an honest and intrepid man is wanted tn put these abuses . dawn, and because I believe you to be such a man," Belliunont exerted himself to justify the high opinion which the king had formed of him. It Was soon known at New York that tho Governor who bad just .armed from England was bont on the sUppression of piracy, and some col mists in whom be placed great confidence suggested to him whit .they may perhaps have thought the best mode 8f attain ing that object. There was then in the Settle ment a veteran mariner named William Kidd. He had passed most of his life on the waves, had distinguished himselt by his seamanship, had bad opportunities of showing bis valor in action, with the French,.and- had- retired on a competence. No man knew the Eastern Seas better. lie was perfectly acquainted with all the haunts of the pirates who prowled between the Cape of Good Dope and the Straits of Ma lacca ; and he would undertake, if he were in trusted with i single ship oP thiryor forty guns, to clear the Indian Ocean of tho whole race. The the rovers were nu merous, no doubt, but^onii of them were large ; one man-of-war, whicWin the royal navy would hardly rank as a fourth rate, would'easily deal with them all in succession, and the lawful spoils of the epemies of mankind would much more than defray the charges of the expedition. Bellamont was charmed with this plan, and re commended it to the king. The king referred it to the Admiralty. The .Admiralty raised 1 difficulties, such as are perpetually raised by public boards when any deviation, whether for the hetten or for the worse, from the established coarse of proceeding is proposed. It then oc curred tq Bellamont that his favorite scheme might be carried into effect without any cost to the State. A few public-spirited men might easily fit out a privateer which would soon make the Arabian Gulf and the Bay of Bengal secure highways for trade. lie wrote to his friends in England imploring, remonstrating, complaining of their lamentable want of pub lic spirit Six thousand pounds would be enough. That sum woqld be repaid, and re paid with large interest, from sale of prizes, and an inestimable benefit would be conferred on the kingdom and on the world. His urgency succeeded. Shrewsbury and Romney oontcibu- 1 ted. Orford, though, as first Lord of the Ad- , miralty, he had been unwilling to send Kidd to.the Indian Ocean with a king’s ship, coh sested to subscribe a thousand pounds, Somers subscribed another thousand. A ship culled the Adventure Dailey, was equipped in the port qf London, and Kidd took the command. He carried with him, besides the, ordinary letters Of marque, a commission under the Great Seal empowering him to seize pirates, and to take them to some place where they might be deajt with according to law. Whatever right the king might have to the goods found in tlie pos session of these malefactors, ,he, granted; by letters patent; to the person* who mid been dt tha eipensa of fitting out the-expedition, re serving to himself onljr one part of tile gains of the adventure, whicij’ was to be paid ihlo the treasury. With the claim of merchants) to have back the property of which they bad' Jbeenrobbed, his majesty, of course, did not in terfere. 'lie granted away; and ooilld gfanjt dway. n(brighta but his owh. ’ ■ '• The press fof sailors to man'the royal riavy was at that time so hot that Kidd could .not obtain bis.full co'ippleih.ent of, hands in.thp Thames. He crossed tlie. Atlantic; Visited New York,’add there .found volunteers in abundance. At length, in February; 1697, he sailed -from. the.

But on’the suhject of piracy he, nef| the notions whibb were 'then common in.tfe North American colonies) apd most of his erof* were of the saqie mind. He found himself iQ • a sen which was ijonstantly traversed by rich, gnd defetiselessmercliant ships, and lie Had lo L determine whether he wiidld plunder those ships of protect them; the gain which might be made by plundering theni was and might be finatbhed without the.dangers {$ a battle or the delays ,of a,trial., Ti^eeward)?,' qf .protecting (he lawful trado -.wereuliiely bn comparatively,small, fSuohsee ;thqy;WW%l ; they would, be got nnlyby first-Agirtiio®,villi' desperate ruffians who would bo killed than taken, and by then instituting a proceed ing and obtaining a judgment in a Court of Admiralty. The fish of being called to a se vere reckoning might not unnaturally seem small to one who had seen many old buccaneers living.ln credit and cotjtfort at New York and Boston. Kidd soofa threw off the character of a privateer and became a pirate. He estab- Usjfedfriendly communications and exchanged arms and ammunition with the most notorious of those rovers Whom his commission.autho rized himto destroy, and made war on those peaceful traders whom he [was sent to defend. He began by robbine'Stossultttans; and speed ily, proceeded from Mussulmans to Armenians,' and from Armenians to Pprtugnese. The Ad venture Galley took such quantities of cotton apd silk, sugar and coffee, cionatrmn and pep pUr, that the very foremast m'en received froth a hundred to two hundred pounds each, and that the captain’s share of j'|the spoil, would have enabled him to live at bonie as an opulent gen tleman. With the rap'acitjy, Kidd had the cru elty of bis odious calling. \ He burned' houses,' be massacred peasantry. j|His prisoners were tied up, and beaten witpji nuked cdtlaSieS in ordfer'to extort information about their con cealed hoards. One of bis crew, whom be bad called a dog, was provoked into exclaiming, in an a|ony of reuforee, “Yea, I am a dog, but il ls you that have made me sb/ f ' Eictd, in'a fury, struck the man dcadjj r , “ News then traveled very slowly frbri’ the Eastern Seas to England! But in August, fG9B,- it was known in England that the Ad venture Galley, from which so much had been lipped, was the terror of the merchants of Sn-, rat and of the villagers of {the coast of Mala bar. It was thought probably that Kidd would carry his booty to some colony.* Orders were; therefore, sent from Whitehall to the governors ■ of the transmarine possessions of the crown, directing them io" be oh t|he watch for him. ijie, mean while, having bujrhed his ship, and dismissed most of his men*—who easily found blsrths in the sloops of other pirates—returned to New York with the meins; as he flattered himself, of making bis peace and of living ib splendor. He bad fabricated a long romance to which Bellamont, naturally unwilling to be lieve that he hqd been' (lumped, and had been the mCans’of dlining was, at first; dis posed to listen with favor. ,|iut the truth soon came out. The governor did his duty firmly, and Kidd was placed in c|ose confinement till orders arrived from the Admiralty that he should be sent to ' " i i t EXiOQTTEJTT EXTRACT: The following eloquent jpassages are from Hon.
