"HOT YET."
A TALE FOUNDED ON FARTS. ,
i"Not yet," Was heard „spoken' in a loud,

of a pistol. emanating from the' bottom of a.

Surprised at. , what -I heard so unexpecp .
telly in that hideous wilderness. I checked
My horse and listened with intense avidity;
to heat once more-froin that horrid dwelling
place of mysteries, before 1 coeld take my
leave 'of this strange affair; 'and whilst thus
itusperried as it were by hope, fear, and,ago- 1
iiy. I. beard, as 1 thought, a female voice ex.
daim,l " Thank Heaven, 1 am safe." My -,
curiosity was now excited beyond expression. 1
Hearing first the voice of a Man, them the
,l'
loud voice of death's instrument, and still
More, the soul-animating voice of a female,
:ail conspired \ to. excite m,l , most profo und'
sympathy and my greatest' astonishment. I'
!could no longer refrain from dismounting and
-rushitig to the seeluded aperture ' After
'some TOlDlitt.of breathless surprise, looking
through the dark foliage of the thick pine

nian -lying plaistrate in the liwest part of the
Cave; !with a. pistol in one hand, and a dirk,
'as if fallen from the 'other, close by his side.
'All Was still—death and silence reigned tri
amphapt there. After many attempts An

The connsel fOr the defendant then arose; and
with much ability and more than ordinary el

necessary to prevent the commission

On Friday, the24l - day \of March, 'll7O,
soldier of the twenty-ninth asked to 'be 'ent 7 •
ployexi at Gray's. ropeivalk; and he was re 7.
pulsed in the coarsest words. ' He- then de
fled the rOpeniskers to a boxing-match; and
one of them accepting .his challenge, he was
-beaten: off Returning with •- several of
.his

A larger number came down„ to renew the
fight with clubs: and cutlasses, and in their
turn encountered defeat. By this time gray'
and - others interpo*i and for that day pre.
vented ftirther disturbance.-
There waslin end of the affair at the rope:
walk, but not at the barrack*.Where.the sot-.
diers inflained each others' passions, is•-lf the ,
honor of the,.e4trsetit . Were tranished. On
Saturffay they prepared' bludgeons; and be
ing resolved to brave the citizens on Monday
night, they _ forewarned their ,particular. ac
quaintance not to be abroad. WithMit duly
restraining.his men, Carr; the Lieutenan t Col
(Mel of the twenty-ninth, made compla int to
the Lieutenant . Governor of the insult . they
had receiVed.j.
The colonel- deliberating op Monday, seem- 1
ed of opinion that the town would• never; be
safe from quarrels between the people 'and
soldiers„as long as soldiers should be . guar
tered among them.: :In the present case the,
'Owner of the rope-walk gave sittisaction by
dismissing the workmen - complained of.
The officers should on their part, have kept
their Men within. the . barracks after nightfall.
Hutchinson should have insisted on measures
of.preeitution ; but he too much -wished
favor of -all who had influence 'at Westmin,i.

,
Evening came on: The young moon WAs
shining brightly in a cloudless winteOlsky,iind.
its light was increased by a new 'fallen snow.
Parties of soldiers were . driven . about the
streets, Making a parade of valor, challeiy,ing
resistance, mid striking the inhabitants indie 7
criminately• with sticks or sheathed cutlasses.
.A- band wbiciisrnshed out from Hurray's
Barracks, in. Wattle street, ,armed - With dui* I

"Turn out And I will.stand by you.; kill them

another levelled a fire-lock and threatened to
'make a,ltMe' through the crowd.. ..Just le

With his musket gave the boy a.stroke en the

by way of Cornhill toward - Murray: Barracks.
' Pray soldiers, spare my life,' Cried a boy. of.
'twelve, whom they met. ' No, no, I'll kill
you all,' 'answered, one of them, and knocked
him .doWn• with a cutlass. TherabuSed and
insulted 'several ' persons at. their door, and
others in the street, 'running about like inad-
Men in a fury,' crying 'Fire,' Which seemed
their> Watchword; and "where - are : they 'l'

vior occasioned the ringing: of the bell at

The citizens whoin the alarm set in motion
