who was the only male belonging to
the fort, whose life was saved, bears
upon its free the impress of truth. His
answer to the questions propounded to
him by col. Geo. G. Childrcss, relative
to colonel Crockett, is worthy Of re-
cord as not only conveying compli-

LoREEzo Dow was an oddity of the
oldest kind. His sayings for time,
like those of the celebrated Rowland
Hi, flled all the newspapers, and
pleased the public from Maine to Louis
lana. Dow was known in all parts of
the Union; and it is probable that not
a town orscity of any note was left un-
visited by him. The story of his rails
ing the Devil and the way he did it, is
well known. The best anccdote ofhim
is, that being one evening at a hotel
kept by one Bush, in Delhi, N. Y,
the residence of the celebrated gencr-
al Root, he was importuned by the
latter gentleman, in the presence ofthe
landlord, to describe heaven. ssYou
say great deal about that place." said
the general, "tell us how it looks. !"
Lorenzo turned his grave face, and
long, waving beard, toward Messrs.
Bush and Root, and replied with inn
perturable gravity, "Heaven, friends,
is vast plain of smooth, rich territory!
there is not root nor bush in it, and
there never will be-
