Off ran the sheriff to the court house.
'You're afraid 44 your gunpowder, I
see, sir,' said O'Grady to the captain, with
a sa-donic
'You seem to be equally sparing of your
- humanity, sit,' returner he captain..
'God forbid I shnuJd be afraid of a pack
of ruffians,' said O'Grady.
!Or 1 of a single one,' returned the cap
.( lain, with a look astern contempt.
There is no knowing what this bitter
bandying of .vords a mi , ,,rht have led to, had
it not been interrupted by the appearance
alba sheriff at one of the windows of the
-court house; there, with the Riot Act in
14 hind, he called out:—
Now I've read it—fire away, boys—
.. fire away! and all his compunctions about
the e=ffusion of blood vanished the Moment
his own miserable carcase was safe from
halm.—Again he waved the Riot Act from
the window, and vociferated, Fire away,
boys, as juud as his frog, like voice per
mitted.
Now, sir, you're ordered to fire, said
O'Grady to the Captain.
I'll not obey that order, said the captain;
the man is out of his senses with fear, and
I'll nut obey such a serious command flora
a madman.
Dare you ditohey the orders of the sher
iff, aid thundered O'Grady.
I am responsible for my act, sir. said the
captain—seriously responsible; but I will
not slaughter unat med people until I see
further and fitter cause.
The sheriff had vanished--he was no
where to be seen— and O'Grady as a mar
istrate had now the command. Seeing
the cool and courageous man he had to
deal with in the military chief, he deter
mined to push matters to such an extremes
that he should be forced, in self-defence,
to fire.--With this object in view he or
dered a fresh a advance of the police upon
• the people, and in this third affair matters
asittimed amore serious effect; sticks and
stones were used with more effect, and
the two parties being nearer to each other'
the .missiles meant only for the police,
• overshot their mark and struck the sol -
'diets, who bore Omit painful situation with
admirable patience.
7 Will you fire, sir? said O'Grady to the
officer.
If I fire now, sir, lam as likely to kill
the police as th people; witndraw your
police first, sir, and then I will file.
This was hut reas .noble—so reasonable,
. that even O'Grady, enraged almost to ma I.
ness as he was, could not gainsay it; and
he-went forward himself to withdraw the
police force.—O'Grady's presence in
creased the rage of the mob, whose blood
was now thoroughly up, and as the police
fell back - they were pressed by the infuria•
ate , ' people, who now began almost to
disregard the presence of the military, and
poured down in a resistless stream upon
tfiem.
O'Grady repeated Pis command to the
captain, who, finding matters thus driven
to extremely, sarti'no longer the possibili.
ty of avoiding bloodshed; and the first
preparatory word of' the fatal order was
given, the second on his lips, and the long
:file of bright muskets flashed in the sun

ble tone cairied its hearots involuntary
obedience,'Stop !—for God's sake stop !
Then wheling his horse suddenly round,
he nharg.ed atone the advancing front of
the people; plunging his horse fiercely up
on them, and waving them hack with his
hand, enforcing his commands with words
as well as actions. The crowd fell back
• as he pressed upon them with a fiery
hhrsemanship unsurpassable by an Arab;
and his-dark clustering hair streamed a

The gallant soldier, touched by the he

the excitement of the moment, was urged
beyond the habitual parlance of a gentle
man. and swore vehemently, I'll be damn
ed if Ido I wouldn't run the risk of
shooting that noble fellow for all the mug..
;grates in yoUr county.
O'Connor had again turned round, and

AL the word 'liar' O'Grady, now quite
phrensied, attempted to seize a musket
from a soldier beside him; and had he suc
ceeded in obtaining possession of it, Ed
ward O'Connor's days had been numbered;
but the soldier would not give up his fire
lock, and O'Grady, intent on immediate
vengeance, then rushed upon Edward,
and seizing him by the leg, attempted to
unhorse him, but Edward was too firm in
his seat for this, and a struggle ensued.
The crowd, fearing that Edward was
about to fall a victim, riised a fierce shouL,
and were about to advance, when the cap
lain, with admirable presence of mind,
seized O'Grady, dragged him away from
his hold, and gave freedom to Edward,
who instantly used it again to charge the
advancing line of the mob, and drive them
back.
'Back, boys, bark!' he cried, "'don't
give your enemies a triumph by being dis•
orderly. Disperse—retire into houses,
let nothing tempt you to riot —retire round

The crowd, obeying. gave three cheers
for 'Ned o'•the-Mill,' and the dense mass,
which could not he awed, and dreaded not

the breath of peace.
As they retired on one side, the soldiers
were ordered to their quarters on the oth

See First Page.
We yesterday neglected to notice a very
important error made by the editor of the I
Gazette, in his anxiety to sh4w the signal
advantages that. are to result to Pennsyl•
vania from Cost Johnson's plan. He says
that the plan will remove $20,000,000 of
debt, and leave a like sum unpaid, the in
, terest of which he Sets down at $600,000 .
Now, the interest on the debt of this State
will average more than 5 pet cent., and
the payment of that debt cannot surely
I lessen the rate of interest on the bal
ance. The rate of interest on the bonds
proposed to be issued is 6 per cent., and
this would amount to $600,000 on 20 mil
lions. But the interest on the pat tof the
debt which would bo unprovided for by
Cost Johnson's plan, would exceed a mil •
lion, or bo $400,000 more than the Ga
zette sets down,
Mal-mem IN VIRGINIA —We extract from the '
Percy aneerdotes the following in relation to the
then prevalent belief of the approachlng col of
the world, "In the auto nn of 1789" tilt nnrratot
says,"l was at Norfolk in Virginia, where a fre •
quent subj!et of tea table gosiips was ❑ prophecy,
printed in New England, staling th it the world
was to be destroyed by fire, on a specific day in
November, in that year; a prophecy, which obse- •
ved as it was, actually made a deep impression
upon those who professed to laugh at it. It hap-
pened on this very day that I crossed Elizabeth
river, and slopped in Portsmouth to spend the
e vening at a house where these was a large party
of both sexes. There the preyheey bcearn,l, the
subject of conversation; and the day being nearly
past, the whole party were speedily becoming
more courageous philosophers. All at once, our
'ears were assailed by loud murmurs outside. We
rushed to the door and wera much astonished a l
finding the whole population of the place in the
i•treet; the greater part of then on their knees,
arid uttering the loudest lamentations. Attracted
' by the brilliancy of the heavens, 1 raised my eyes
upwards and observed a very vivid Anrora Boreal.
is, casting. its corruscations over more than one
half the hemisphere. On turning round, I saw
the whole party on their knees, and evidently in
great trepidation. The scene Wl4 certainly aw
ful, yet I could not refrain from a burst of laugh.
ter, when my friends, with the utmost horror,
begged me to desist, and not draw the wrath of
offended heaven upon them then. With dill-leni
ty, I at leagth persuaded some of them to listen to
me, when I assured them that all they saw was
a common phenomena in more nothern latitudes:
I also endeavored to convince some or the stran•
gers nearest to me, that there was no cause for
alarm; hut I could gain no converts, I succeeded
in drawing my own party back into the house,
where I was con=idered something more than hu
man, for relieving their minds from the horror s
which assailed them. Towards midnight th An
three dispersed, as did the fears of the good pee
pls of Ports:nouth. On crossing the ferry to Nor.
folk, I saw that the same spocies of alarm had
also existed there to a considerable extent, and
wlu+ rts happily extinguished."
From the above, it will appear that the New
Englahl people arc apt to indulge in the anticipa
tion and contemplation of this (serer to be enacted
tragedy;and eromit, the reader may learn how
much confidelM9. shetuld be placed in the reason

Preservation of Peach Trees and their
fruit.—We are informed that dining the
unusually warm weathei we had in Janu
ary, the coming forth of buds on peach
trees, was (pile perceptible, and many en
tertain fears that they were so far advan
ced at to he injured by the extreme cold
of the past week and that the Crop f the
next season will he partially, if not wholly
destioyed. We find in a late number of
the Evening Journal, some intormation on
the culture and preservation olthis
ful fruit, which may he interesting and
nselul to (xir.' Cesders. The fruitfu4ss of
peach trees is not much dependent • up^
on the degree of cold as tho uniformity 01
temperature in winter. In the Middle
States it is the practice to select a
.south
ern exposure, which is the worst possible;
for in mild weather the sap is warmed into
life and the swelling buds . at'a nipped by
the ensuing cold, or the frosts of spring.
In New England, on the contrary, though
there the climate is more rigorous, north.
ern exposures are neverthelecs chosen, f o
that the roots ;Lie buried in frost till the
breaking up of winter; and lauds make no
advance upon the setting of the fall until
the p ropel season fur their development.
—The same practice holds in Germany,
where moreover, after the ground is fro,
zen and snow fallen, a wheelbarrow load
of manure is placed around each tree, to
prevent the frost coming out of the ground
at the root, until the snow is gone and
spring is seasonably opening. The fac t
that uniformity of temperature, not degree
is most rmportant, is shown by the success
of the practice above alluded to of keeping
the roots cold, and the fruitfulness of
southern trees when the ground is not
frosted at all.
The peach orchards of New Jersey, and
a few in Pennsylvania, have suffered ex
tremely of late years from the ravages of
the worms at the root. This destruction
it guarded against perfectly in Germany,
by grafting the peach upon the stock of the
plum, whose roots are not attacked by the
worm. We trust these hints will not be
overlooked here, as the supply of this deli.
cious fruit is yearly becoming more preca
rious. It is worth adding that, by care in
grafting the peach upon the plum, cutting
the pith from the lower part of the slip by
splitting, peaches can belobtained without
stones.

'There exists in the suburbs of London •
establishments which are called 'splashing

man of' fashion, who po+sess•'s neither hou-•
ses, lands nor kennels, but who has credit
with his tailor, announces to all his acquain
tances that he is about to leave town for a
few days' hunting. He quits the sumptu
ous hotel in which he lodges at the west
end, give notice that he Wilt be absent eight
or ten days, and hides himself m an obscure
inn situate in the extremity of the city.—
The proper moment having arrived, he
dresses himself in an entire and complete
hunting costume of the newest fashion.—
That done, he gets into a hackney coach,
and drives to a 'splashing house,' where for
the moder.+te sum of 7s. he is splashed from
head to foot. Those establishments have
mud from all thecounties, particularly tho e
of them renowned for hunting, and are pro
vided, moreover, with a wooden horse.—
The attendant, who performs all the func

gravity, if the gentleman desires to return

ingenious mechanism, raises his hind and

the same regularity as could a real horse

Mr. Cave Johnson moved to lay the res

Mr. Arnold dwelt upon the importance
of his hill to reduce the pay of members:
he therefore desired to move that it be made

lie then presented in the name of the donor,
Samuel G. Washington, the battle sword
worn by General Washington during the
Revolutionary war. Mr. S. said the sword
was accompanied by a plain buckskin belt.
The whole was of plain workmanship, in
true keeping with the man and the times in
which he lived. On the sword was engra•
ved 'C. W. 1757.'
Mr. S then proceeded to chew, by a ref
erence to facts, that there could be no shad
ow of a doubt as to the identity of the
sword.
He next presented the gold headed cane,
given by the philosopher and statesman,
Benjamin Franklin, to General Washinz
ton, from whom it had descended to S. G.
Washington, the present donor. After fur
ther remarks, Mr. Summers said he thought
it right that the sword of the Hero and the
staff of the Philosopher thould go together,
and he placed among the archieves of the
country. The eloquent speech of Mr. S. was
closed by a resolttion providing that the
relics should be deposited in the State De

arose loud and unanimous tokens of ap•
plause.
Mr. Adams followed, and read a most
masterly awl affecting address. To at
attempt to give any thing short of the
whole would be sacrilege. He concluded
