BRADY's LEAF.

BRADY $ LEAF.
 Captain Brady seems to have been as much the Daniel Boon of tho northeast part of the valley of tho Ohio, as the other was of tho uth-west, and the country is equally full of traditionary legends of his hardy adventures and hair breadth escapes, allhougl, he has lacked Flint to chronicle his fame and transmit it 10 posteriiy in tlse glowing and beautiful language of that dis iinguished annalis, of tho west. From un- doubted authority, it seems the following incident actually lranspircd in tl''s vicinity. Brady's residence was Charters creek, on the south side of the Ohio, as before noted in this diary; and being a man of Iiercu- lean strength, activity, and courage, he was generally selected as-thc leader of the har- div bordercts in all their incursions into Lediam territory north of the river. On this occasion, which was about the year 17SO, large party of warriors from the falls of the Cuyahoga and the adj djacen. country had made an inroad on the south side of the Ohio river, in the lowest part of what is now called Washington county, but whic!, was then known as tho settles mem of Catfish Camp aEer an old In- dian of that name, who lived there when the whites frs; came into tic country, on the Monongahela liver. This party had murdered several families, and with the plunder' had rccrossed the Ohio before effrc,uaI pursuit could be made. By Brady a party was directly summoned ofhis cho- sen followers, who hastcned on afier them. but the Indians having one or TWO days the start, he could not ovcriake them in time to arrest their return to their villages. Near the spo, where ihe town of Ravena now stands, inc Indians separated into two parties, ane of which wont to the north, and ,,e other west to the falls of the Cny- ahoga. Brady's men also divided; n par. with their commander to the Indian village, lying on .he river in tho present township of Northampton, in Portage county.
 Although Brndy made his approaches with rhe utmost caution, the Indians ex- pecting pursuit were on the lookout, and ready to receive him, with numbers four fold to those of Brady's party, whose only safety was ina hasty retreat, which from the ardor of the pursui. soon became perfect flight. Brady directed his men to separate aud each one 10 tskecaTc ofhim-

SEEK NOT GREAT THINGS.

"It was a most plhy and pertinent say- ing of an ancient saint, /" God halI, not cast man out of Paradise in this world" No, my hearers, it cannot be expected it is but thild's dream, that we can ever havo all things go well with us on earth. Look abou. among our brethren and neighbors. Observe their continual! distrcsses, be- reavcmcnts, reverscs. Mark inc accounts lated miserics of the race. Behold how suddenly the fair countenanco is changed, the cheerful fire-sidc darkencd, the most brilliant prospects bliehted, tho garden of peace and plenty transformed into deso- laiop and GoIgoiha. Listen to the multi- tudinous wall of ycarning human want.- Consider how the Lord sooner or later, bringc.h evil upon all flesh, and causcth the day of darkness to roll round upon each in his tnrn!, And who art thou, that thou shouIdst expect, or even desire to escape common woe? Who art thou, that the cans dlc of the, Lord should never go out upon thy dwelling, and the elements of thy na- ture and the whole machinery of human events should conspiro to minister to thy good wants. and work thy private exalta- tion? For myself, shall all the stars shed down their sweet influences, and inc earth, masked, yield her rich increase! Shall lhc stormy sea smooth its mighty crest be- fore the pathway of tho puny bark? Shall the blessed curse of .oil, and tho whole- some law of human discipline, be annulled for thy privilege? WouIdst thou alone have rest, when all the world is hard at work {? Wouldst thou alone live safe from cares, pains, md reverscs, when thousands are failing at your side, and ten thousands at thy righ. hand. and crowds of mourners go about tho streo,s7 Wouldst thou find a Aowery highway to happiness, and rosy path of duty, when better men are earning their peace by the sweat of their brow; and even smile and sing, while they press on under their heavier burdens, at the Lords command7 Wouldst thou. like the Scribe. be seeking thus, great things for lhyself7 It is vain; it is ignobIe; II IS Hn-

SUccEssTuL LPLoUGHMG.-The Norfolk Bea- con states that farmer near that city, while recently engaged in ploughing one of his fields, struck upon vault containing box filled with gold and silver coins--valued. it is surmised at from S10,O0O to S2O,OOO. The vault was partly of brick covered over with large stones, we'll put together with mortar. It was evidently built for special deposite, and adapted to the size of the box that was enclosed within it for many years. The box was of mahogany or cedar. and much decay ed. The coin was all over one hundred years old, and consisted of Spanish dollars, guineas, doubloons, &c.
 The New Orleans Bee of tho Fist, states that the New Orleans and Nashville Rail Rord Company, have been compelled to sus- pend operations and discharge all their force, except an assistant Engineer and few hands This determination was taken, as the Bee says, as the only means for sayingthe work from bankruptcy and ruin" The cause as- signed, is the deficiency of funds. arising from the lukewarmness of the Legislature. The aid recently furnished from that quarter, has only served to pay the debts ofthe Company so far. but leaves it only nominal existence, without the means to proceed in the work.-- It therefore must stop, unless the New Or leans municipalities will do something for them. -
