It is situated in Montgomery county on the west side of the Schuylkill, between six and stven miles from Norristown, in a deep short hollow, scooped out from a low, rug ged mountain, and opeing upon the great valley which stretches away toward Phce nixvilie A small creek runs through the little valley, turning in its course, the water wheel of a cotton factory, which stands upon the site of the old Forge of Isaac Potts. Upon the mountainous flanks of this little Valley, Washington established hia winter quarters, in 1777-1778. His own residence was at the house of Mr. Isaac Potts a Qua. ker preacher It is a substantial stone dwel lingi situated near the mouth of the creek. It is occupied at the present by James Jones a member of the society of Friends. Wash, ington's room was small indeed In the deep east window, whence he could look out upon a large portion of his camp upon the neighboring slopes, are still preserved the cavity and little trap-door, arranged by the Commander-in-Chief as a private depository for his papers. It answered the purpose ad mirably, for even now the visitor would not know that the old blue sill upon which he was leaning to gaize upon the hollow hills, might be lifted and disclose a capacious chest. Near the head quarters of Washington were the ruins of an old flour mill, whose clack was heard before the revolvtion, nor ceased until within a few years. From the village we went to the summit of the hill on the south, whereon the main portion of the Am erican army was quartered. Upon the brow of the hill, on the spot where Washington's marque was planted on the day of his arrival there, Mr. Charles Rogers, who onws the cottoD factory, and much of the landed property in the vicitnity, has erected an observatory, about forty feet in he'ght. It was in its time a very neat structure of wood of an octagon form with a spiral stair case in the centr, by which an ascent is made to the open galery on the top. From that elevation is obtained a fine view of a large portion or the campaign ground. Not far southward of the observatory was a re doubt. The remains of this redoubt are yet very prominent iu the wood on the right side of the road leading from Valley Forge to Pa oli, also the redoubt on the left wing of the encampment, (now near the Reading Rail road,) it is well preserved, the forest pro tecting it from dcmolttion. ICetter than Kothin?. When we read the following anecdote it made us smile, and we suppose it will make our readers smile. Solomon says: 4'To eve ry thing there is a season a time to weep and a time to laugh. Some years before we became settled :" life, it was our custome to spend a few weeks iu the spring and autumn, for the purpose of fishing and sporting, in a small village on the south shore. Our landlady was very ugly, and rather cross, but blessed with 44one fair daughter," with whom we occasionally took a walk in the grove by moonlight the inter vals of sentimental speech being filled up by an owl solo, and the perspective being gen erally a rainy walk homewards. All this, however, has nothing to do with the anec dote. During the intervals of one of our spring and fall visits, our hostess became converted We were ignorant of this; but as we drove to the door at which she was standing, we ima gined something was iu the wind, for her face seemed to 44shed a browner horror oe'r" the front yard. f 4'Good morning, Mrs. T. ," throwing our valise from the chase and preparing to alight. We cant accommodate you sir." 4 'Have you boarders?" "No, sir; but we cant take you." 4,IIavnt I alwys conducted myself like a gentleman: 4 4 Yes I s'pose so in a worldly way but you are a sinner a sinner young man; you don't believe as I do." 44 What do you believe that I don't." 4'You don't believe we shall all bo darned.' 44No, not at all; but I believe that some will." 4 4 How many?" 'Fifty thousand, perhaps." 44 Well, that's better than nothing , you can stop !" . Don't Know Ilucltelbrrries. Governor P 1. of Kentucky; tells a good one himself When on the canvass pre ceding his election, he stopped at a cabin on the wayside, in the eastern mountains of the State, for a bite of dinner The good wife served him a better repast than he expected, tender and juicy venison being one of the courses, followed by a tempting, display of pastry. Cutting into one of the pies and tast ing the same, his palate was entirely propiti ated, aud he paid his compliments to the lady by way of making an' inquiry: 4 Madam,' said he "this is a very delicious pie; but upon my vord I don't know what is the fruit in it pray tell me if you please.' Why! stranger, wher,e did you come from?' demanded the dame in turn. 4 Well, I am from the lower part of the state but no such fruit as this grows there.' In deed madam, I am ignorant of this fruit, and beg you will inform mo what it is.' Up for Governor,' exclaimed the astonish ed woman 4and don't know huckelberries! Well I mistrust you ain't flttcn for the offie - The Governor would have relinquished the track, but his pa; ty wouln't let him off; and he was elected in spite of his ignorance of huckelberries. . j27Moses, seeing a chap hoeing and a nother mowing, in the same field, remarked that their occupations were decidedly hoc piow gcnious. A Good Juice is toll of Beecher and Park Benjamin, though it is probable not true. On one of their lecturing expeditions, they were riding in the same railway car- Getting into conversation about preachiog, Beecher was so courteous as to ask Benjamin to come over to Brooklyn, some sabbath morning- and hear him "I do not know whero your meeting house is." said Benjamiti; 4how shall I find it?" "Oh." replied Beecher, 4all you have to do is to come over one of the ferries, anJ follow the crowd." "I would come," continued Benjamin, 4but for on rea son " 4 'Ah! what is that," asked Beecher "Because," said Benjamin, with a merry lcok oat of his eyes, 4,lmake it an invairiable rule never to go to any place of amusement on' Sundays " SUglttly Fast A plain old gentleman went with his team to bring home his two sons two young sprigs, who were soon ex. pected to graduate. While returning, they stopped at a hotel in one ' of our country towns. The landlord, struck with the dash ing appearance of the two gentlemen, made himself vciy officious, while he took the old man, from bis homespun appearance, to be nothing but a driver, and asked them if they wished the driver to sit at the table with them. 4 'Well. Dick," said the younger a side to his brother, 4'as he is our father, and its his team, and he will bear the expen ses, I think we had better to let him eat with us." "Yes. I think so, too, under the cir cumstances," he rerlied; i'lrndlord, give him a place at the table."

Jg A 4 'wee bit of a boy" astonished his mother a few days sencc She had accasion to chastise him slightly for some offence he had committed. Charley sat very quiet in his chair for some time afterwards no doubt thinking very profoundly At last he spoke out thus: 44Muzzcr, I wish pa'd git anozzer housekeeper, I've got tired of Beeing you round!"
