battle of Bunker Hill is Of peculiar interest, will
communicate what heard the venerable Col. Pres.
colt relate, few years before his death, respecting
that event in which he acted so important part.

first man who fell 10 the battle of Bunker Hill was
killed by cannon ball which struck his head. He
was so near me that my clothes were hesmeared
with his blood and brains, which wiped OFT in some
degree with handful Of fresh earth. The sight
was so shocking to many CT the men that they LETT
their posts and ran to view him. | ordered them
back but in vain. | then ordered him to be buried
INSTANTLY when man, who from his appearance
Judged to be subaern officer came up, and
throwing his arms around me, exclaimed, Dear
Colonel, are You going to bury him without sending
for minister and having prayers:' replied, This
is the first man that has been killed. and the only
one that will be buried to day. put him out Of.
sight that the men may be kept in their places.
God only knows who or what or how many OF US
will fall before it is To your post, my good
fellow, and do your duty"

From the Missouri ADVOCATE, Nay Is

Among the acts of the last session Of Congress is
one for the continuation of the great national road
from Washington City to the Capital of Missouri.
In the original plan of this road, it limited TO
the Mississippi river but by the act of the last
sion it is TO be continued the capital of this state.
The appropriation of this year is SO 900, of which
100000 is to be expended in making the road from
Wheeling on the Ohio, to GAINESVILLE on the Mus
kingun1, and $4,000 to be expended in locating it
TO the point of its termination. Commissioners for
both objects have been appointed, and we think it
probable that by fall we shall them here.-The
completion of this road is object of great impor
tance to the people Of the northwestern states, and
we hail with satisfaction the law which provides for
its continuance to the centre of Missouri. Taken
in conncxion with the road to New Mexico, also
authorized to be made at the last session, and the
one now in existence from thence to the city of
Mexico it will exhibit the longest line of continued
road which is 10 be seen on the face Of the globe.
Its length may be estimated from Washington City
to the Capital Of Missouri, goo miles, thence TO
Santa Fe, 900, thence to the City of Mexico, 1900,
10 all 8 500 miles, connecting the Capitals of the
two greatest republics in the world, and the imme
diate Capitals of the states Of Ohio, Indiana, Hi
nois and Missouri, in the United States, and Santa
Fe chihuahua, Durango, Zacaecas. and San Louis

Reading, (Penn.J June IA little girl about
| 0 or IL years Of age, named Lydia Karchner, has
been lodged in the Jail of this county, on suspicion
Of having drowned Two small children of Matthias
Frein, tanner, of Long Swamp. in this county, in
whose family she lived for some time. The par
uculars, as we understood them, are as follows
Henry, aged about four years, was found drowned
in one of the tan watts, the 10th of May last, from
which he was taken under the belief of his having
accidentally fallen therein, and no suspicion was at
tached to LYDIA until the Sd inst. when Mary 4nn,
aged about 2 years, also found drowned in ano
Their vat. From some cause which we have not heard,
Lydia was suspected of having thrown them both in,
and on being questioned, her answers were so vague
and so various that sufficient cause was found to
commit her for trial.

to thank The Great Spirit who has taken care OF our

red path We waded in blood until the murderers
OF our women and children had ceased. In the
land Of our enemies we kindied our war fires. We
sat by them until morning, when battle came with

mot be forgotten, nor will the hungry man forget
the heart. Our countenances are bright. as We
