1 1 Early_ the next morning a blecireerirant
boy belonging to Mn. -McNeil espied
wpm Italians Stealthily approiching the
house. Ind giving the alarm to the inmates,
he fled to• distort about forty rods distant.
Mrs. McNeil's daughter, the young friend
of Jenny •and , mother of my -informant,
wascwith some friend' in Argyle, and the
family consisted of only the *idea and
Jenny, two small children, and a black fe
male servant. As usual at that time,. the
kitchen stood a few feet from the house ;
and when the alarm was given the black
woman snatched the children, fled to the
kitchen, and retreated through a trap:
door to the cellar. Mrs. McNeil and
Jenny ' followed, but the former being
aged add very corpulent and the lacer
young and agile, Jenny reached the trap
door first. Before Mrs. McNeil could ful
ly descend, the Indiins were in the house,
and a powerful savage seized her by the
hair and dragged her up. Another went
into the cellar and brought out Jenny, but
the black face of the negro woman -was
net seen in the dark, and she and her chil
dren remained unharmed.
Then the two women started off. on the
road to Sandy Hill, for Burgoyne's camp;
and when the came to the accent upon
which the pine tree stands, where the road
forked, they caught two horses that were
grazing, and attempted to place their pris
oners upon them. Mts. McNeil was too
heavy to be lifted on the horse easily, and
as she signified by signs tharshe could not
ride, two Indians took her by the arms
and hurried her up the road and over the
hill, while the others, with Jenny on the
hvrae. went siout Ow natal rufitsiug Weal
of the tree.
The negro boy who ran to the fort gave
the ;derma, and a small detachment was im
mediately sent out to effect a rescue.—
They tired several volleys at the Indians,
but the savages escaped unharmed. Mrs.
McNeil said that the Indians, who were
hurrying her up the hill, seemed to watch
the dash of the guns, and several times
they threw her upon her face, et the same
time falling down themselves, and she dis
tinctly 'heard the ball whistle shove 'belt.
When they gut above the second hill from
the village the fixing ceased ; they then'
stopped, stripped her of all her garments
except her chimise, and in that pltghl led
her into the British camp. There eke
met her kinionan, General Prater. and re-
proiehed him bitterly for sending his
“scoundrel Indians" after her. Ha denied
all knowledge of her being away from the
city of New York, and took every pains
to make her comfortable. She was so
large that no woman in • the camp had a
gown big enough for her. so Fraser lent
her his camp coat for a garment, and a
pocket handkerchief as e 'substitute for her
Atoka esp. -
Very soon finer Mrs. McNeil was ta.
keit into the British camp, two parties
lof Indians arrived with scalps. She at
once recognised the glossy hair of Jenny,*
and, though shuddering with horror, bold
ly charged the 'ravages with murder, which
they denied. They averred that while
hurrying her along the road on horsebacii,
near the spring, West of the pine fret, a
bullet from one of the American guns, in.
tended for them, mortally wounded the
poor girl, and she fell from the horse.—.

on the badk of one of the savages. They
succeeded in reaching, the Fort in safety. 1
Burgoyne must soon have forgotten this
event, and the alarm among the loyalists
because of the murder of a Tory and hie
family; forgotten how they flocked.to the 1
camp for protection, and Fraser's remark
to the frightened loyalists, ..it is conquer.
ed country, and we must wink at these
things ;" and how his own positive orders
to the Indiana, not to molest those having
protection, caused many to leave him and
return to the hunting grounds on the St.
Lawrence. It was 211 dark and dreadful.
and Burgoyne was willing to retreat behind
*false assertion, to escape the perils which
were sure to grow out of an admission of
half the truth of Gate's letter. That letter
Sparks justly remarks, was more ornate
than forcible, and abounded more in bad
taste than simplicity and pathos, yet it was
suited to the feelings of the moment, and
produced a lively impression in every part
iof America. Burke, in the exercise of his
glowing eloquence, used the story with
powerful effort in it,.. Urinal, Unman of
Commons, and made the dreadful tale fa
miliar throughout all Europe.
Burgoyne, who was at Fort Ann, institu
ted an in-quiry into the matter. He sum
moned the Indians to council, and deman
ded the surrender of the man who bore off
1 the scalp. to be punished as a murderer.—
' Lieutenant Jones denied all knowledge of
the matter, and utterly disclaimed any such
' participation us the sending of a letter to
.fenny, or of an Indian escort to bring 1
her to the camp. He had no motive for j
so doing, for the American army was then
1
, retreating ; a email guard only was at Fort
, Edward, and in a day or two the British l
' would have full poaession of the Fort,
when he °mild have a personal interview 1
with her.. Burgoyne, instigated by mo
tives of Policy rather than judgment and in
clination, pardoned the savage who scalp
-led poor Jenny fearing that a total defer
don of the Indians would be the result of
his punishment.
Lieutenant Jones. chilled with horror
and broken iu spirit by the event. tender

was refured. He purchased the scalp of ,
his Jenny, and with this cherished me

ada. Various accounts have been • given
1 respecting the subsequent fate of LidUten- 1

desperate mid careless of life. he rushed
into the thickest of the battle on Bemis'

which does not require them !or the
perfection of its product ; and which is,
in fact, unable to digest such concen-

much inferior the sweet potato° become,
when grown upon clay - soil ; and Liebig
speaks of a peculiar kind of turnip, which
under the circumstances, losses all the
good qualities for which it is noted when
cultivated in sandy ground.
Those plinti in which compounds of

grade in the scale of vegetable life, than
that occupied by those containing more

A portion of nitrogen is undoubtedly ne

certain that we 'sometimes apply more of
the substance than is required to produce
the best results. If we admit with Lie

and perhapa a small surplus, but this is not

and feeding them.
It is said that at a large . mach establish.

are fed in the following manner, 'viz; Oi
pounds ol lover hay, cut or chopped ; 16$
lbs brewer's graini ; 12 lbs ground flax

being cut, is put into the mash tub and

are then mixed with it. It is asserted that
the average yeild; per day, of good cows.

fourteen quarts, for a period of eight !
munths in succession, Wm. Arundale. ;
the owner of the establishment, asserts,
that he once had a cow which had not
borne a calf for two years and a half, and
that she aversged,eight Quarts of milk per
day. Fed in this manner. cows never fall
off in condition; they are healthy: always
in good spirits, and afford the beat and rich

In seasons when there is scarcity of feed
in the pastures, it is an excellent plan to
supply the deficiency by greeri fodder,
such as corm buckwheat, or, indeed, any
nutritive matter of which the animals will
partake. Failing to command these,
grains ground into meal, and mixed with
warm water. should be daily given.—
Roots and pumpkins promote tumescent
secretion, and are conducive to health in
au eminent degree. In the fall sweet ap.
pies, or apples of any kind, may be profi

Every farmer who keeps cows should
sow a patch of corn to cut and feud to them

can adopt, to supply the deficiency 00C411.

Mr. Wang Tag rose and said
Mr. President and Gentlemen ~ I beg
leave to .assure you that I esteem most
highly this testimony of respeet. I find
myself in the political capital of the loyal
Union State of Maryland. I find myself
at a table at which many of the most die.
tinguishea men of that State, of all parties
and descriptions of politica, are assembled:
sod it is on that account that I regard this
as a particular and striking memorial of
respect and honor to myself. But, gen
tlemen, lam nothing. It is the cause, that
is'every thing. You are pleased to hon.
or me only because I support, so far as
joy ability will allow, that cause which is
so dear to us all—so dear to all good men
in the coentry. It is the cause of the U.
nion. It is the cause of the preservation
Of the States. It is the cause of the main.
tamping of all those political associations
and, rinciples which have made the Utth
ted_Stalini..what they. are.
'Cis not, for me to argue the value of the
Ultima in this company. I. came hero
rather to be refreshed and edified by what
I have heard of the proceedings of this
Convention already.
' Its resolutions of the 10th of December
are to me en expression so powerful, so
authentic, and so couclusive . upon the Judg
ment of Maryland, that 1 read them at

now, with undiminished delight. Why,
gentlemen, I should no more think of ar
gulag the question •of the importance of
the Union in this assembly, than I shouttld
of going back to argue ;he propriety of,the
'Declaration of Independence, or to argue
