FOR THE COUNTY POST. CHESTNUT RIDGE.

 The evening sun is smiling still Upon thy summit, Chesnut Hill! But cold the beams that burnish now Thy feecy breast and snowy brow, And chill the rudely rushing breeze That whistles thro' thy leaAess trees. But still 'tis sweet to ramble here, Tho absent those who used to cheer With merry word and laughing eye The moments as they glided by. The lone unfrequent tracks that now Are seen upon thy virgin brow, Seem not of maiden's syIph-'hSe tread Meath which the lilly litts its Oead- They ceas'd to be, when Autunn's showers Fell chilly on thy faded bowers, And drove from tlseace the feather'd trais, To islands in the southern main. The musing hunter hither strays, And pauses for awhile to gaze On all thy varied prospect round, As steals upon his ear the sound or wonder distant village bell, Sweet echong through each winding dell. But have seen thee at time, When thou vert in thy beauty prime When all thy leafy bowers have been Rich mantled in Spring lveliest green And have seen thy landscape drest ln Summers not less lovely vest Again. when Autumn's russet brown Was over hill and valley thrown. Tho Winters storms have o'er thee blown, And winters rage have left thee lone. Still hast thou beauties, confess Charms, in thy very loneliness Such as the hand of death reveals To tn grlef-worn heart of him who knsels, Or in mute silence bends above The form of her he us'd to loue, "Ere that Decays effacins fingers "Have swept the lines where beauty lingers"- The charms that part not with the breath A beauty lingering after death. Tho sleeping now, thou'lt wake in bloom. Triumphant from thlne icy tomb. Not so with man no second spring To those in cold graves sIumbering Shall come, and say to them, awake !- Theirs is sleep that nought can break, Until the last loud trump of God Shall call them from their dark abode. Yes, thou wilt wake-thy wintery state The coming spring shall rsnovate; When birds throughout thy woodland heard And springing flowers that gem the sward- And bursting buds in every glen, Proclaim the month of May again. Until that happy time shall be, Sweet Chesnut Ridge, adieu to thee.

Al a meeting holden at Hartford.

At meeting holden at Hartford, on Wednesday, the 18th of November, 1927, in pursuance of public notice, to take into consideration the subject of the protection of the manufacture of Woollens, and the growth of wool; OLIVER D. COOKE Esq. was appointed chairman and JOHN M. NILES, Esq. Clerk. The following resolu ions were unanimously adopted
 Resolued, That believing the prosperity of the United States to be inseperably connected with the success and stability of manufacturing interests-an opinion which it is conceived, the experience of the last 15 years, has fully and incontrovertibly established-we regard with the highest satisfaction, the renewed attention to this important subject, the diffusion of more correct information and the general prevalence of more just senti- ments concerning it, which we conceive is

Extract of letter from a gentleman of N. Y. dated Gibraltar, October

"We were sitting in the round house at about eight o'clock in the evening of the 18th of Sept, the vessel moving very quietly along, when the mate came and called out to us to look at very singular appearance which the sky had suddenly assumed. We immediately went upon deck, when a scene presented itself which filled us with amazement and no small a. larm. The western sky was illuminated with broad stripes of 6esy color, radia- ting from point which was then near the zenith, but which frequently shifted its pO-

tn. follow ing is the account Of the trial and
l-xstntion of the unfortunate Louis.
The behaviour ofLouis XVI. on his trial
was simply, m anIc, and aff.c ting. He rested
his defence chiefly upon positive denial OF
any knowledge Of The letters and documents
that were brou ght as proofs against him. His
advocates on this occasion, Maesharbes (who
noby volunteered this service on the refusal OF
Targe.,) Tronchet, and Descze, did themselves
great and fasting honour by their eloquence,
in,re pidity and disinterested zeal. TIE Con-
venton pronounced his condemnation by a
ma jpri,y OF only twenty six voices GU. OF above
Sc en- hundred The smalness ofthis ma jority
was made plea TO set asid the sentence. De
crees are passed by simple Majority said a
member Of the Mountain. True it was re-
piled. 'but DEGREES may be recalled, whereas
the life Of a man cannot be recalled. Some
we're for relieving themselves from the re>por-
sibiily by an appeal to the nation, but this, it
was thought, would bcray distrust of the
ause; and might also breed O. civil war. The
sitlng Of the Convention which concluded the
t,iaI lasted seventy TWO hours. 1t might na'u-
rallv be supposed that silence, restraint, sort
Of religious awe would nave pervade6 the scene,
OH the contrary, every thing bore the marks OF
gaiey, dissipation, ard the most grocsque
coniu sion
The farther end Of the hall was converted
into boxes, where ladies in a studied dishabille,
swallowed ices, oranges, liquors, and received
the salutations of The members, who went and
came rs OH ordinary occasions. Here the
door. keepers on the Mountain side opened and

LUCK IN BATTLE.

Jacob Scout, or, as he is Familiarity call
led, CODE Scout, was soldier in the revo-
iutionary army, and was commanded by
Gen. Wayne, the Chester County FAR
mer: The night that Wayne retired to
the Paoli, after the defeat at Brandywine,
was cold. dark, and rainy. The troops
were all soundly locked in the arms of
sleep, their muskets at their sides, and
ready to be used at moments notice. The
countersign had long been passed to the
sentinels--it was, "Here we Gomez" and
they we're watchfully pacing to and fro in
front Of the encampment. Vansant, a
Bucks County regular, was one Of them.-
A stranger approached him in the darkness
Of the night. vansant dropped his mus
ket TO charge, and ordered him to advance
and give the couniersign. 'sHere we
GOMEZ" whispered tho stranger, at the y
onet's point |; and here we come it was |:
for on the instant, Vansant was run thro'
and pinned to the earth, and detachment
of British Infantry and horse rushed pas,
him to the tents. The countersign had
been overheard byawonlan when set at sun
down, and Immediately conveyed to the
enemy.
'CObe Scott was sleeping in his tent,
when the groans Of the dying around him
broke his slumbers. Not shot had been
fired. The enemy, with murderous pre-
cision were working with the bayonet. d
seized sword in the confusion of the
scene, and rushed out Of the tent. His
comrades, overcome by numbers, md
thrown into disorder by the suddenness of
the attack, were Fastening in crowds to-
wards fence in the rear Of the encamp-
.ment, over which to escape into the woods.
The firing now began; and the cavalry
were galioping among them, trampling
them down by dozens. The rnsl, at the
fence was dreadful. Whoever fell, fell to
rise no more, for the horses feet completed
their destruction. As CODE was making
his way for the fence, British horsen,an
raised his sword to cleaye our hero's head |;
but CObe was before him. He caught the
blow upon his sword, and before the troop
er could repeat il, a lucky shot, whether
from friend or foe. is unknown, brought
him gasping to the ground. CODES lucky
genius suggested means Of instant preserv-
alton. He put his fi,ot in the stirrup, and
mounted into the saddle In moment lie
was out Of the reach Of either friend or
foe.

the descending torrent, ever and anon be-

whole cause Of annoyance proceeded from

Remarking to his establishment that this
