After the Presbyterian religion had been establish
ed BY law throughout the kingdom OF Scotland, Mr..
David Lindsay, who was at that time the Episcopal
CLERGYMAN of Genorchy under the old establish
ment. was directed by the Duke OF Argyle to sur
render his charge to Presbyterian incumbent.
Mr. Lindsay was exceedingly beloved by his par
isbionersaDd seems to have been man well worthy
of the estimation 10 which they held him. He,
however, prepared TO obey the directions OF the
Duke Of Argyle and to surrender his parish to the
new clergyman. This latter gentleman arrived on
Saturday evening TO take possession OF the living,
but was surprised to find that no individual in the
parish would speak TO him, or pay any regard to
the purpose for which he came.--Every door was
shut against him except that Of Mr.. Lindsay, who
received him with kindness and hospitality. Next
day, being Sunday, the new clergyman went to the
church to perform divine service. There he found
the whole population of the parish assembled in the
church-yard, but they did not enter the church.
No one spoke TO hm--nor was there the least noise
or violence. But, when he attempted to enter the
church, he was at once surrounded by twelve men,
fully armed, who told him that he must accompany
them. MIR Lindsay, who had attended his guest
10 the church yard, seeing this violence, cntreated
them to desst but all his entreaties disregar
ded.--His parishioners had resolved on the course
they would pursue and no consideration could induce
them to change il. They marched away with the
new minister to the boundary Of the parish, bag
piper playing before them as they went There
they made the asionished and terrified Presbyterian
take an oath on The Bible never to return or attempt
to disturb Mr.. Lindsay. The good man kept his
oath. But the synod of Argyle, whose immediate
authority was thus strangely violated, we're excee
dinghy incensed, and threatened to enforce the law
and punish the authors OF this outrage. Neyer,he
less, when they found that the Pensioners were
perfectly unanimous, and were thoroughly deter
mined to resist to the uttermost any renewed at
empt to force upon them Presbyterian clergy
pruden. not to push the matter further. And it is
an extraordinary fact that Mr.. Lindsay lived Tor
thirty years after this and died the
episcopal clergyman Of Glsnorchy, in the undisur-
bed possession Of the living--loved and Ievered by
all the inhabitants of the parish.

SANDY HILL.

The village Sandy Hill, Nv. " is Of recent
origin, and the settle which /, stands was former
~ the scene OF Indian barbarities. From MIR. II. a
very respectable inhabant, learned the following
singular piece of history Ole Mr.. Schoonhoven
recently living in this vicinity, and probably still
surviving although at the great age OF more than
lourscore' informed Mar. II that during the last
french war; ne and six or seven Americans com.
ing through the wilderness from Fort William
Henry, at the head of Lake George, to Sandy Hill
had the misfortune to be taken prisoners by party
OF saYages. They were conducted to the spot which
IS now the central green Of Sandy Hill and ordered
10 81 down IN row upon log. Mr.. Schoonho-
ven pointed nut the place where the log lay was
nearly 10 front Of the house where we dined. The
Indians then began, very deliberately, to tomahawk
their victims, commencing at one end Of the log
ana splitting the skulls Of their prisoners in regu-
lar succession while the survivors, compelled to
ST. still and witness the awful fate of their compan-
IONS, awaited their own in unutterable horror Mr.
lochoonhoVcn was the last but one upon the loo
opposite to where the massacre commenced the
WORK oil death had already proceeded to him, and
me iIlteo tomahawk was ready to descend, when
ehlei gave the signal TO stop the butchery. Then
approaching Mr.. Schoonhoven, he said, edo YOU
remember that, at such a time, when YOUR Young
men were dancing, poor Indians came, and wanted
70 dance too your young men said mo Indians
snaii not dance with us but you (for it seems this
chief had recognised his features only in this crit
cal moment) you said, indians shall dance:' now
Will show you that Indians can remember kind

nad better call it.) saved the life Of Mr. Schoon
hoVen and of the other survivor. Strange mixture

A MISSIONARY WHEEL has lately been estab-
lished at Hartford, Connecticut. The Boston Recor-
der. in speaking of this project for raising Mis-
sionary Funds, observes "The Missionary Wheel,
in Hartford, for the purpose OF giving ladies', who
may have leisure, an opportunity to spin for the
benefit of Missions, is respectfully noticed, and
generally approved, in political papers. Perhaps
this simple design, like the Missionary Field, will
become a source OF great revenue to the cause OF
missions" The following is copied from the Con
necticut Courant. printed at Hartford.
MISSIONARY WHEEL!
II is desired to be made public, that Wheel and
open room, are kept at the house of MIR. George
White, Church Street, for the use of those ladies'
who wish to contribute to the small streams which
compose the broad river Of Missionary support.
Happening in at the house OF Mrs. P. between the
hours of nine and ten in the evening, was surpri
sed and grati6ed by behoding the respectable mis-
tress of the mansion, turning the wheel and plying
the disa with all the grace and agility of five and
twenty. On inquiry, found that this venerable
mother in Israeli in the Saith year OF her age wish
ed TO encourage by her example, the laudable work.
Sisters have we any thing to object TO this easy
mode Of contributing our mite to the raising funds
to assist in spreading the "glad tidngs Of salvation
in heather lands.
While numbers are hoIoraby engaged in cul
tivating the Missionary Field, it is hoped that the
ladies Qhough their exertions prove less valuable)
will neglect no opportunity ofshowing their attach
ment to the cause of all others the most important
Donations Of Flax will be gratefully received by
the well wshers to the object
