I Noble , Rumple.
About the year 1776 a circumstance oc
cured which deserves to be written on ada
ment. In the wars of New England with
the aborigines, the Mohegan tribes of Indi
ans early became friends of the English.
Their favorite ground was on the banks of
the river, (now the Thames,) between New
London and Norwich. A small remnant of
the Mohegans still exist and they are scarce
ly protected in the possession and enjoy
ment of their favorite domain on the banks
of the Thames. The government of this
tribe had'become hereditary in the family
of the celebrated chief Uncas. During the
time of my father's mercantile prosperity
he had employed several Indians of this
tribe in hunting animals, whose skins were
valuable for their fur. Among these hun
ters was one named Zachary, of the royal
race, an excellent hunter, but as drunken
and worthless an Indian as ever lived
When he had somewhat passed the age of
fifty, several members of - The royal family,
who stood between Zachary and the throne
of his tribe, died, and he found himself with
only one life between him and the empire.
In this moment his better genius resumed its
sway, and he reflected seriously. •
"How can such a drunken wretch as I am
aspire to be the chief of this honorable race ?
What will my people say? and how will
the shades. of my noble ancestors look down
indignant upon such a base successor ? Can
1 succeed to the great Uncas - ? 1 will drink
no more I' He solemnly resolved never again
to taste any drink but water, and he kept
his resolution.
I had heard this story, and did not entire
ly believe it ; for. young as I was, I already
partook of the prevailing contempt for Indi
ans. In the begining of May, the annual
election of the principal officers of the (then)
colony was held nt Hartford, the capital.
My father attended officially, and customa
ry for the chief of the Mohegans also to at
tend. Zachary had succeeded to the rule
of his tribe. My father's house was situa
ted about mid Way on the road between Mo
hegan and Hartford, and the old chief was
in the habit of coming a few days before
the election. - and dining with his brother
governor. One day the mischievous thought
struck me to try sincerity of the old . man's
temperance. The family were seated at
dinner, and there was excellent home-brew
ed beer on- the-table.— I addressed- the-old
chief:
" Zachary, this beer is excellent—will
The old man dropped his knife and fork
—leaned forward with a stern intensity of
expression—his black eye, sparkling with
indignation, was fixed on me :
John,"said he, 4. you do not know what
you arc doing. You are serving the devel,
boy ! Do you not know that lam nn Indi
nn I I tell you that I am, and that, if I should
but taste your beer, I could not stop until I
got to ruin, and became again the drunken
contemptible wretch your father remembers
me to have been. John, while you live,
never again tempt any man to break a good
resolution."
Socrates never. uttered a more valuable
precept.. Demosthenes could not have giv
en it in fitbre solemn tones of eloquence. I
was thunderstruck. My parents were deep
ly affected—they looked at each other, at
me, and at the venerable old Indian, with
deep feelings of awe and respect. They
afterwards frequently reminded me of the
scene, and charged me never to forger it.
Zachary lived to pass the age of eighty,
and sacredly kept his resolution. He lies
buried in the royal burial place of his tribe,
near the beautiful falls of the Yantic, the
western brunch of the Thames, in Norwich,
on the land now owned by my friend, Cal
vin Goddard, Esq. I visited the grave of
the old chief lately, and repeated to myself
his inestimated lesson.—Col. Trumbulra
Autobiography.
Use of Steam Power on Canals.
For many years scientific men have de.
voted much attention to the application of
steam power to the towing of boats on our
Canals. Towing by horses has been found
not only exceedingly expensive, but to slow
and uncertain for the wants of the present
:age, and hence many plans have been sug
.
lested and many experiments tried in the
ope of finding some means whereby the
• treat motive power might be safely applied
to the propelling of blots heavily loaded
through the narrow channels of a canal with
out producing such a commotion in the wn
. .ter as to seriously injure the banks, or en
danger the safety of the works. The ob
ject so long sought has at length been found,
and its applicability practically demonstra
ted. At the foot of Hubert-st. there is now
moored a small steamboat, which,' though
not very inviting in its appearance, com
bines all the requirements for canal motive
power, and the evidence of her ability to
do the necessary Labor is furnished by the
three heavy Laden barges which are besides
her, and which she has towed from Norfolk,
Va. up the Potomac river to the Cumber
land mines, and thence through the Alex
endria Canal, the Chesapeak and Dela
ware River and through the Delaware and
Raritan Canal to New York, a distance of
nearly five hundred miles; and in a few
. days she will continue her voyage to Alba
ny. She ie a small boat of about one hun
dred tuns burden, and has two engines, ra
ted at fifteen horse-power each ; and the on
ly things that differ front ordinary steam
boats, is the peculiar shape of her buckets,
and the addition of a float back of the wheel,
which is in the center of the boat. The
wheels are bent so as to form the segment
of a circle, and they enter and leave the
water without creating the eieut motion
caused by the ordinary paddles. Should,
however, the power required cause any
swell, the raging waters are mitootlied down
and pacified by the float that follows the
wheel: This float can be raised or lowered
as circumstances may requirh The own
ers of this bPat assert that they can take a
train of freight boats, loaded with eight hurl- .
Bred tuns of coal, from the Cumberland
Mines to title. Vt ater, at a speed of four miles
per hour, at ono-third to one-half the_ price
at whioh the work can be done by horse
power.: and the boats can be passed through
the locks without detaching them, and in
lees time than is required by the same num
ber of boats propelled separately. The boat
is ealled the ..Viaantta,"and we invite those
interested and who is there engaged in bus
iness that is not 1) to call and examine her.
She was build after the plan patented by
G. PARKER. Esq., of Massachusetts, and is
owned by Messrs. R. S. Denny & Co., of
Boston, who, we understand, are construc
ting jot her boat at Albany to be used on
the,Erie Canal.
Deer Hunting in Texas.
One day as our train was slowly moving
through a forest of live oaks, the trees sev-
eral rods apart, as they generally grow in
l'exas, a full grown buck leaped across our
path, and running two hundred yards stop
-1 ped and suddenly turned about to gaze at us.
- • rthis-ntriment7-one-ef-Alie-party--j umped-
I from his horse; levelled his rifle, while all
'exclaimed that he was ton far off; the next
instant the crack of the rifle echoed through
the wood while - the - noble - buck - on- . which
every eye was fixed, gave a single bound
into the air and fell dead. This was con
l-sidered a capital shot and fair sport. -A
Ideer killed in this manner or taken alter a
long pursuit, was looked upon as exhibiting
I skill. But will you say, when I tell you
1-that-on one occasion, when-the irain -rested
a day for the purpose of giving the animals
rest, Iwenly semen - deem were killed and
i brought into camp, This was on Turkey
I creek,a stream encompassing by a very rich
bottom, (as it is called here) and covered
with a thick wood. The whole bottom land
seemed thronged with these noble animals,
which had resorted there not only for the
water, hut for the rich herbage which grows
there. At this . place, more deer were seen
and killed than at any other place on our
march—there was a complet surfeit of the•
choicest venison. Deer were often seen in
large herds crossing our track as we wend
ed our way over the boundless prairie;
but on such occasions they were seldom
shot. In-some-instances, however, -I have
seen an expert hunter drop his deer while
running with his rifle :
In the lower part of Texas I noticed large
herds of deer grazing with cattle. It seem.'
-ed -as-though those timid animals disliked .
the solitude of the vast and boundless- prai- I,
ries over which they rosin unmolested, and
soug-ht-the-company-of-the-cattle_near_the_l
settlements. The cattle in these parts were
as wild as the deer, and as difficult to se
cure. In the section of the country alluded
to, which is that laying between San Anto
nio and the sea coast, there are large herds of
cattle, some of them amounting to thousands.
These cattle increase rapidly, and often
wonder beyond the reach of their owners,
becoming as wild as the Buffalo. They can
only be caught with the lasso. It is not a
difficult matter to kill deer when they are
feeding with the cattle. The method is for
the sportsman to ride on a mule or horse till
Within 200 or 300 yards of the herd : then
dismount and walk by the side of his ani
mal, crouching down so as not to alarm the
deer. When within the range of his rifle,
he shoots over the back of his animal. The
method is generally successful. In fact the
hunter, when in search of deer in the open
prarie. adopts the same method, approach
ing as near as he can on his horse and then
dismounting to fire. Another plan resorted
to by hunters is to go out into the prairie at
night, build a fire and lie down in the grass
and wait their chance. It will not be long
before the deer, on the site of the lire, will
be attracted to it, when he is sure to fall a vic
tim to his curiosity. Hunters also lie in
wait for a deer near a salt lick as well as
near pools or ponds of water in a prairie.
At daybreak in the morning, or at stinset,
these places are resorted to by dedt,
The Soil--Its Fertility,
To retain the fertility of a soil . already
productive, it is necessary to add to it a
quantity of fertilizing matter, equal to that
which is, taken oft by the crop, allowance
being made for what may be lost by perco
lation through the soil. By doing this, we
can always maintain soils at whateverpoint
of production they may have, and even in
crease their productiveness. A soil which,
from. its texture, is particularly good for
wheat, may thus be kept in. a condition to
produce a crop every year, without any
rotation. The same is true, with regard to
corn or any other crop.
The particular combination or proportion
of each of the necessary constituents of soils,
that will give the greatest yield, has not yet
been determined. It can only be ascertain
ed by many careful analyses of fertile soils,
in order to see what quantities are present
in them ; and, by the analyses of soils which
are unproductive; then, to find by the ap
plication of the necessary manure, the smal
lest quantity that will produce the greatest
benefit. The experiments hitherto made
determine nothing but the mere fact, that
some particular manure has acted Well on
some particular soil. As long as we re
main in ignorance of the composition of the
soil, so long we can learn almost nothing.
To obtain a knowledge of the best manure
by its mere application to a soil, without re
ference to the compositions of the soil itself,
he pronounces empiracal. The science of
Agriculture, like all others, hes fixed laws,
and must be studied in a rational manner.
Etch known fact in Agriculture, to be use
ful, must be developed with all of the causes
which led to It. A successful or unsuccesv
ful application of manure is a fact of little
valor, unless the composition of the soil
upon which it was used be determined.--
Then all the causes influencing its action
will ba manifest, and each experiment mode,
will lead us onward to a perfect system ;
every trial .of a manure will teach us how
it should be used, and when rejected.
New Hampshire.—The Legislature of New
Hampshire have reelected Hon Samuel Dins_
moor, democrat, Governor of that State. The
whip and free loiters voted for T. E. Svoyer.
Nominations for Judges.
Indications, not to be mistaken, announce
a fact highly favorable to the choice of the
best men for the Supreme Bench, without
that strict servility to partisan bigotry that
obtained in old times, when the people were
called to- the exercitie of the right of suf
fmge at the ballotbox. This is a sign pe
culiarly auspicious to a judicious choice on
a question involving no direct partisan is
sue, for we cannot imagine any crisis to oc
cur that would justify the appalling appre
hensions of Judge Wilkins; and yet no
question can come before the people so com
plicated with various and perplexing con
siderations, and which require so much calm
reflection, so much sober and dispassionate
inquiry free from partisan bias One party
have nominated, what they suppose, we
presume, their best men. It remains to be
seen what candidates the other party will
offer, and . it will then remain for the free
and independent voter to make up his tick
-et-from-those-wh-onr/rej triireritcTli - e — Onbes
men. This freedom of choice, constitutes
the real freedom of the ballot- box, and the
sooner it becomes a custom, without a breach,
the for the country, the State, and the
better for the people ; for a quarrel about
the best man will be more likely to give the
people . the best officers then squabbles
about partisan issues, that have no practicul
application or useful object.
Robert Morris
The" great financier, was born nt Liver
pool, England, on the 20th 'day of January,
17:33. He emigrated to America when a
bout 13 years of age—placed in the count
ing house of Charles Willing, at Philadel
phia—at the age 22 he became a co-partner
of Thomas Willing in the merchantile bus
iness at Philadelphia. Made several voy
ages as supercargo, in ships belonging to
the company, to the West Indies. 'Faken
prisoner on a voyage, by the French, and
kept for some time in close confinement
—finally released and returned to Phila
delphia—accumulated a large fortune. In
1775 he was elected a ra,-inber of Col,L:r ,
from Philadelphia. He advanced, for till
purpose of-carrying on the Revolution - , one
million Jour hundred thousand dollars. 01
prim, e unds. (And it was acknowledged
thnt without the aid of these funds our na
tion could not have acchieved her Indepen
dence, so early as she did.) In 1781, the .
offi,:er of Financier "was established by
Congress, and he was elected Superinten- I
-dent—proposed-a-plan-to-Congress for the I
establishment of the Bank of North Atner-
ica ;" which was chartered ;—and opened
in January. 1782. Before he was appoint
ed Financier it cost Congress eighteen mil
lions of dollars a year, to carry on the War
—after that only five millions—resigned this
office Sept.:lo, 1784. He declined the of- l
fice of Secretary of Treasury, offered to him
by President Washington.—He sacrificed
himself and his fortune, in the promotion
and Independence of his adopted country
—and his declining years were darkened
by poverty. He died at Philadelphia, May
Bth, aged 73 years.
Banking Beeration.
During the trial of L. Collier, the late
Cashier of the defunct Havre de Grace
Bank, at Elkton, last week, Richard Gra
son, counsil for the prosecution, stated that
on the 28th of August last, the resources of
the Bank amounted to $28,842 32, while
its liabilities were $130,050, leaving a de
ficit of $lO7 207 08, which amount Mr.
Collier was charged with embezzling. Mr.
Constable, for the defence, contended that
all the operations of the Bank were ficti
,tous—that the funds soon after they were
paid in by the stockholders were returned
to them in New York, where all the mon
ey belonging to the concern was kept, so
that there was nothing left for Collier to
steal. The jury acquited Mr. C. of the
fraud against the Institution, but if what
counsel stated be true somebody ought to
be indicted for a fraud upon the public.
Female Voters.—A late law in Kentucky,
which, in part, reads as follows, gives women,
under certain restrictions, the right to vote:
..ft shall be the duty of all the qualified voters
in each School District (widows having chil
dren of the proper age included,) or such as at.
tend on the first Saturday in April, in each year,
to meet at their School-house or other place,,
and to elect three School Trustees, to superin•

FOR THE YEAR A. D. 1851.
WHEREAS a number of the citizens
of Lehigh county, have expressed a

discount provided for by the several acts of
assembly of this Commonwealth, and in or•
der to maintain the honor and credit of the
county, the Commissioners have
Resolved, That the respective collectors of
the County, State and Militia Taxes, levied
and assessed on the property and things in
i the different townships and boroughs in the
I county-of-Lehighi-be-and-they-are-h-ereby
-1 respectively authorized and directed to
make an abatement of 5 per cent. on the a-
Mount of Stute tax to each and every per- I
son named in their respective Duplicates,
who, on or before the 21th day of July next
pays the whole amount of County, State
and Militia Taxes to thcin respectively
charged for the year A. D. 15.51.
The several collectors of the townships of
Washington, Heidelber,g, Lynn, Weissen
burg and Lewhill are.directed to pay over
to Charles H. Martin, Treasurer, at his of
ficeln Hamilton street, Allentown, all mon
ies so collected as County, State, and Mili
tia taxes, as the case may be, on or before
the 24th day of July next ; those of the town
ships of Upper Saucon, Upper Milford,
Upper Macungie, and Lower Macungie, on
or before the 25th day July next, and those
of the borough of Allentown, and the town
ships of North and South Whitehall. Han
over Salisbury, and Northampton, on or be
fore the 26th day of July next.
We wish to direct the - attention of the
collectors to the fact, that no paper money
of any description, of a less denomination
than five dollars, and only such as are par in
Philadelphia (except Relief notes) will be
ree4fved for taxes.
For the benefit of the collectors, we will
say to them to be on their guard in taking
notes of the following Banks, as there are
many Counterfeits on them of vari
ous denominations, to wit : The Harris
burg Bank, old issue; Middletown Bank
and Relief ; Northumberland Bank ; Schuy
kill Bank ; Doylestown Bank ; Lancaster
Bank, 10's and 20's and Relief. The Far
mers and Drovers Bank of Waynesburg,
Honesdale Bank, and Erie Bank are not
par.
The collectors and tax-payers will also
bear in mind, that the final settlement of the
taxes will have to be made speedily, that the
forbearance extended heretofore can in no
wise be allowed hereafter; the collector
need not be put off with a promise to pay
him next winter or spring—it will avail
nothing.
It is expected the collectors will strictly
adhere to the above in the , discharge of their
duties.
