After this it was pro posed and carried, that they should march off, right away, to len Wtlls, of Fayette county, the excise officer there, and catch and try him and lleagau both together. They set out accordingly, taking Ueagan along, luit when they arrived nt Wells' house, he was not there, so they set lire to it aud burned it with all its contents.

The uext attack was made on Captain Webster, of Stoystown, the excise officer for Somerset county, by about one hun dred and fifty men from Westmoreland. They took bis commission from him, aud mad him promise never again to net as collector of excise. A n attempt was made by some ot the party to lire his haystacks, the laws. The others were acquitted, and those convicted were pardoned ami dis charged.

Unfortunately, about this time, or a little before, they began to con vert their surplus grain into whiskey. This was the more an evil, as they used the whiskey principally among themselves. From thfAgrcat demand for it, it was the principal article of trade, and became a kind of standard of value for other articles; and the man who had plenty of whiskey in those times, was regarded by his fellow citizens' nearly iu the same light as a man is now who Las more money than his neigh bors. I am astonished when I look back and reflect upou the quantities of it that were used. It was the medicine for almost ev ery disease, and was a constant beverage wherever people met together, whether to assist each other in labor or amusement. At military trainings; at elections, funer als, and weddings; at raisings, log-rollings, grubbing frolics ; in harvest fields and at corn huskiugs; iu short, wherever the people met, and whatever they met to do, they must have whiskey. Owing to the perilous times through which they had passed, and from tho very nature of the employments in a new country, the peo ple got into a habit of doing almost all their ordinary labor ia companies, and these were a kiud of convivial meetings that greatly fo'-(-rcd whrkey drinking; iu1 among the incwbcr.i of the Institution ; tate. i wo Companies cadi sustained ; j 'or.s a,m oioet-iiouses, into which , omccr iu uasinngton couuty.

The prisoners were taken to Philadelphia, which was then tho scat of the general govern ment, under the administration of Presi dent Washington, and there, in order to exposo them aud mortify their feelings, they were marched through some of the principal streets, with white papers stuck upon their hats.

Wc are informed from various quarters of the serious derredatior I - r .

Several persons have inquired of us a remedy; and wc sac the same inqni.y made in several ether agricultural journals,, without eliciting a reply. We have but a small amount of knowl edge on which to prescribe a preventive for this evil. We know of no better than t thoroughly whitewash the granary, in ereru part, inside and out, as well as the under timbers if possible, before the grain is nut in. This, we think, if well done, will stop their entranee. Where grain is already infested, air slacked lime, perfectly dry, sieved over and mixed through the grain, as the lime can be blown away by ruum'ug through the We know of no other remedy; but if an of our readers possess a better, they will be conferring a favor on the agricultural1 community, byforwarding it to us for pub lication withoVJrtlay.

At th same bar, on that saino occasion', Wc wit nessed Hubert Kan tout, iu the maturitjyt uanhood, with apparently a long and healthy career before him, stand up bold ly, in the face of his party, but true to liisf scutimcnts through lifeT to support what ho believed the liberty of the friendftss and tbestrangef. Within only fourmonth from that time, that Judge was hid in hir grave; within two months, Mr. Raatoul delivered a touching and beaut rfa! talogy upon the deceased, enlarging most eh fluently and feelingly upon the fleeting na ture of eathly things ; and now the orator Las givcu a more startling illustration of tLe grave facts he taught, in his own sud den and melancholy decease. Boston Ike. Harvesting Corn. W., of Ira, N. Y., Las come to the Cou elusion, that it is preferable to cut corn bv the roots both as to the yield of fodder and grain. As to the quantity of fodi.-r, I Will not speak, but simply state tire f u-t which has couio under my observation, relative to the qualHycf corn stalks cut at the robia. Cattle will cat them at least half the time in preference to giod hay; surely they would not be likely to turn from Lav eating, on which they might grow fat, to' stalks which would hardly sustain life. As to the yield of Corn by the two meiu ods, I have heretofore been satisfied with' forming some conclusions from reonin:' and the trials of others, and guciu at the res a way of doing thiugs for-which I will offer no apology.
