Iu 1732, Thomas Penn:- , contracted 'With Teedytisching and 60 nie 'others for a title to all\the land in Pennsylvania, to tie taken off by a paralld of latitude :from any point as . far as the best of three men could walk in a day r ,' between sun rise and sunset, from a certain chestnut tree at or near Bristcil, in a northwest direettmi. Care: was tak4.-n , toSeleet the most capable for such, a walk. The choice fell on mantles Yates, a native of Bucks county, a WI, slim man, of much agility and speed df foot ; Solomon Jen . - nings, a Yankee, remarkably stout and strong ; and Edward Marshall, a nati,ve i of Bucks county, a noted hunter- chain carrier, ikci, a , large, • heavy . sk, at fl strong boned man. The day was appointed, and the cham pions notified. The people collected at what I.liiiy thought the first: "twenty miles of the to urhant road, to sea them pass.. 'First carne :Yates, stepping 'as light as a feather, accompanied by Penn and: attendants on horseback. After hith, but out of sight) came -Jennings, with a strong,' steady step ; and not far behiriff,-Mtiraliall, apparently - careless, swinging a hatchet in his hand, and eating a dry biscuit. Bets ran in favor of Yates. Marshall took biscuits to Support his stomach, and carried the , .-it - stkatehet,io swing in his hands alterhate slYl ' the action in his arms should bat _'' 'that in his legs, as he was fully deter fiV,ll,to beat the others, or die in thentteMPEJ He said he ti l rst saw Yates . in descending ,Aurhanrcreek, am) gain ed on him.. There he saw Yates sitting on a log, very tired; jiresently he fell oft; and gave up the - Aiailk. \. Marshall kept on, and before he reactiOQlie Le lkifh, overtook and passed lenTriv— waded the river, at Bethiellein,tit ..t - ,- on faster and faster by where Naz.L -•'•:, stands, to the 'Wind Gap. 'I That was:as far as the path had been marked for them to walk on, and there was a collection of people waiting to see if any of the three . would reach it by sunset. He only halted for the sur veyor to give him a pocket compass, and started again. Three Indian run ners were sent aftfr him, to see if he walked it fair, and how far he went.— Helhon•passed to the right of Ponoco mountain, the Indians finding it diffi cult to keep him in sight, till he reach ed Still Water; and he would have gone a few miles farther, but for The water. :There he marked a tree, witnessed' by the three Indhins. The dligtanee lie walked, between sun and sun, not being on a straight line, and about thirty miles of it through woods, was estima ted to be from ono hundred and ten to one hundred and twenty miles. He thus won tho great prike, which was five hundred pounds in 'Coney, and five hundred acres of land anywhere in the purchase. James Yates, who led the way fur the first thirty thiles`,or wore, was quite blind when taken out of Durham'creek, and lived but three days afterwards.— Solomon Jennings survived but a few years. Edward Marshall lived and died on MarshalPS island, in the Delaware river. He arrived at about ninety years of age. -He was a great hunker, and it is said he discovered a rich silver mine, -which rendered him and his, , family connections affluent ; but he never dis closed where it was, and it continues unknown to this day. • , MARK TwAnt's NAb.—Mark Twain says of his horse : " I have a horse by the name of Jericho: He is a mare. I have seen remarkable horses before. but none so remarkable as this. I wan ted a horse Abet would shy, and this fills the bill. I had an idea that shying indicated spirit. If it was correct I have got the most spirited horse on \ earth. He skies at everything he comes across with the utmost partiality. He appears to, have mortal dread of tele graph polehespecially ; andit is fortu ante that thesere on both sides of the road, i s. because, is it is now, I never fall off twice in succession on the same side.— If I fell on the same side _always it would get,monotonous after a while.— The creature has shied at everything he has seen to• 'day exept a hay stack.— He walked . up to that-with intrepidity and recklessness that was astonishing. And it would till any,one with admira tion to see-how he preserved -his self possession in the presence of a barley 'sack. His dare-devil bravery will be the death of this horse some day. He is not particularly fast ?, but I think he will get me through the Holy Land.— He •has only ono fault. His tail has been - chopped oil, or else ho has set down on it too hard some time or other, and has to fight the flies with his heels. This is all very well, but when he tries to kick afly Ofr the top of his head with his hind foot it is too much of a variety. He is going to get himself into trouble some day. He reaches around and bites my legs, too. Ido not carepartic ularly about that, only -. I don't like to .. see a horse too sociable," . A TOUGH CASE.—Elder Knapp had been holding a protracted meeting in Arkansas, and on a certain Sunday was to have a " bqptisrrt" of _converts in the river, in the secluded lacality in 'which the revival tokii place. 'As he advanced into the wateMyith a 'wiry, sharp-eyed old chap, he asked the usual question whether any plrson knew any reason why the ordinance of baptism should not be administered. No one answered for a few moments, but 4 lengti, a tall, straight and powerful looking fellow, with an eye like a blaze, who was lean ing upon - a long rifle and quietlylook ing on, , remarked: " Elder, I don',t want to interfere with this yere busi ness, any way, but I want to say I know that old eu.ss yati've got hold of, and that One dip won't do any good.— If you want to get the cilia out of him, you'll have to anchor him out in deep water over night. physician of th e "John," asked a apotheoary'e apprentice, '`did Green get the medicine I ordered ?" "I gums ao," repiledJohn, "for I saw a crape hanging to the door-knob thi s morning." • Tioga.Coutity ,Agitator.
