A WORKING woMAN.-There are
strange anomalies in the human family
and we take the Amazonian subject 81
the following obituary notice from the
last Belvidere Warren COY Apollo, 10
have been one of them
Died at her farm near Belvidere, New
Jersey, on the 23d ult. Elizabeth Quick,
widow, aged about 60 years.
The deceased was very remarkable
woman, and well known in all the coun-
try round, by the significant name of
Farmer Quick. Some 25 or 80 years
ago, her husband died, leaving her with
three young children, daughters, and the
farm chiefly unpaid for.
According to her own account of the
matter lately given to neighbor, she
thus reasoned with herself in regard to
her then situation and prospects. Who'll
ly inexperienced in those calculations
usually familiar to men, about the ex-
penses and proceeds of land tillage, she
determined, Notwithstanding her sex and
the disadvantages of constitution at
that time feeble, that rather than venture
hiring extra help, she would work the
farm herself She said she believed, that
the differences in the employment ofmen
and women, rose rather from the arbita-
ry usages of society, than from any ply
sical differences of constitution. Sub
sequent experience seemed to confirm
her in this opinion; for, as she proceed
ed in her outdoor labors, her health be-
came better established, and was accom-
panied with strength proportioned to the
task. The result of these labors was,
that she paid for the homestead, built a
new house, and enlarged her establish
ment every way; and quite recently
bought another farm, having considera-
bly, more means at disposal than were
required to pay for it. About two months
since, Mrs. Quick went to the woods,
and without any assistance, felled the
timber, and cut and hauled home in one
day, five two horse loads of wood be-
sides doing her usual night work, offeed-
ing and foddering the stock, &c. The
alteration Of heat and chill, caused by the
exercise ofloading the wood, and riding
home upon the same with wet feet caus-
ed the disease which finally ended the
labors of Farmer Quick.

In the obituary corner of several pa
pers we observe the deaths recorded of
Chester Minis and Laura his wife, on
the 18th and 18th of March, aged 26 and
10 years, at Palmyra, Lenawee CO., Mn,
with the annexed singular paragraph :
"These persons are said to have been
poisoned, by eating pickles which had
been prepared in copper kettle"
= That ought not to Be thus published,
without an explanation. We have long
known the eastern practice of scalding
cucumbers preserved in brine, in cop
per kettle, without any deleterious eff
fects-by which process they are restor-
ed from softto sound state. But pro-
badly what is meant by the word "pre-
pared" is, that the pickles were put to
vinegar in a copper vessel-which from
an acid corrosive action produced the
poison. 10.

CRoPs.-The Frederic (Md) Herald
says: We regret to see from various
quarters Of the country, statements of
the prospect of a failure Of the wheat
crops again during the present season,
and in our own neighborhood, we are
sorry to find, that general opinion pre-
walls, that the grain has been very much
destroyed by the severity of the winter,
and on account of the badness of the
seed. Many persons, we understand,
are blowing up their wheel fields and,
putting them down in oats and corn.-
A marked difference, however, it is said,
exists between the western seed and the
old wheat seed of the latest crop, as the
latter is by far the most Indifferent.

We are informed by gentleman who

Wea informed by a gentleman who
attended the public sales of the Wyan.
dot reservation at Marion, that about
$4,000 acres were sold, and brought a.
bout $65,000. The chiefs, under the
provision Of the treaty, suspended the
sales on Friday evening of the first week,
as in their opinion the lands did not bring
sufficient price. 1t was the opinion,
however, of those present, that the
lands sold for fair average price; the
bidders were very numerous, and had
plenty of money, it being estimated that
there was at least four hundred thou
sand dollars on the ground; and it is
considered doubtful whether the lands
will hereafter bring more than they
would have sold for at the present time.
Many of those who went to purchase,
returned home withtheir money in their
pockets; and others left the sales to en-
ter public lands, as the Indian reserva-
ton sold higher than they had anticipa-
ted.-Hemisphere.

OLD TIMEs.--A correspondent of the
Plymouth (Mass.) Memorial, has been
for some time instructing and amusing
the readers Of that interesting paper,
with anecdotes and "reminiscences of the
revolutionary war, part of which appear
for the first time in print. We take the
following as good example of field ad-
dresses:
The revolutionary war furnishes a
variety Of incidents, some very amusing
and some very interesting. The follow
ing is a very singular one. Capt. Ben
jamin Lawrence who had the command
of company Of minute men in, Free
town, on hearing ofthe affair at Lexing-
ton, ordered his servants to muster the
company and have them meet him at
the alarm post to proceed to Roxbury.
They accordingly met him there, pre-
pared for the march, having on their caps
this motto" liberty or deathP The COM
pany was.properly paraded,and previous
to their march he made the following
address to them.
Fcllo,o soldiers! We are now going
to hazard our lives in the high places o.
the field of battle in defence Of all that is
near and dear to US. Tyranny has fixed
her iron grasp on US, and we must either
conquer, or live and die slaves 1t is
true we have got to contend with ma
ton long famed in arms. Their troops
have long reaped the laurels of the field
and their fleets have in triumph waited
their thunder to the most remote mar.
gin ofthe ocean, and the most potent ma
tons have been by them made to trem
bic to the centre! But no matter fol
that. Heaven on our side; and have
wished, ever since | have been biz
enough to wish, that whenever | dice
| that might fall in the field of battle
| then know that ! should ride the cloud.

MAJOR GATEs.-We are pleased to
learn that this gallant officer, who was
stricken from the army rolls by Presi-
dent Jackson, for alleged misconduct in
Florida, and subsequently reinstated that
he might have the benefit of a court of
Martial, has been honourably acquitted of
all blame by the court Of which General
Brady was president, recently held at
Savannah, and the finding Of the conrt
has been sent to the President for his ap-
proval. This cannot but be gratifying to
the gallant major and his numerous
friends.

The following conversation is said to
have taken place between Mrs.-,of this
city, and her maid: Leah, bring me some
water with the chill taken off" eyes,
ma'am, directly" Leah, what on earth
keeps you?" "I've been looking ever
since for the chill, ma'am, and can't
find it," This reminds us ofthe boy sent
to boil some eggs soft: when questioned
what detained him, he answered" Rot

soft. Eve been at them more nor an hour

Anative ofthe emerald isle lately went
to consult the printer of a newspaper in
neighboring county, respecting his rum
away apprentice. The printer proposed
to advertise him in the usual form, with
a suitable reward: this did not meet Pat
rick's idea /; he did not wish to advertise
him. only jist give him hint After
various attempts at framing a suitable
notice, the following was suggested by
himselfas all-sufficient, namely: Patrick
Flatherty would inform his apprentice,
Timothy Dongherty, that he does not
wish to expose him, but give him the hint
to return to his master and serve out his
indenture like good boy, or he aoould
advertise him in the newspapers"

PARADox.--The persons employed as
mourners by the undertakers Of London,
have actually struck for higher wages,
and they wont mourn until they get what

i And when they get what they want,
they must needs rejoice, so they will not
do for mourners. They are in a sad di-
lemma.

GENERAL JAcKsoN's REPLY.

Sin: | received this cheering welcome
with feelings Of which it would be vain
for me to attempt an expression. 1t has
been one of my most fervent prayers to
a kind Providence to be allowed the
privileges of retiring to the walks of pri-
vate life, and of mingling once more with
my old friends and neighbors, relieved
from the labors of the great public trust,
which their partiality and kindness con-
tributed in a considerable degree to i'm
pose upon me. About to enter upon
The enjoyment of these pleasures, if any
thing could impart to them a greater
power TO solace the evening Of my life,
it would be the tribute of affection and
confidence offered on this occasion.
Whilst cannot hope that my admin
istration of the government has been free
from error, | have the consolation of
knowing that no measure has been un-
dertaken by it, which had its origin in
any other than an honest intention to
subserve the public interest. That ma
ny of its measures encountered bitter
opposition was to have been expected,
and was scarcely to be avoided, consid-
ering the nature Of our institutions, and
the diversity Of interests which are
affected by the operations Of the federal
government. In all the contests which
have grown out Of these measures |
have sought no support beyond the un.
biased judgement of my democratic fel-
low citizens, and have indulged no other
feeling towards those who have honestly
differed with me in opinion than that Of
regret that the occasions for doing so
have SO frequently arisen. The most, if
not all of these prominent measures have
been maturely considered by the people,
and it is to be hoped that eirjudgment,
whilst it determines the direction Of po-
liticaI affairs, will also allay the excite
ment produced by their discussion.
For my own part, sir, though sensible
in the trying events to which you have
alluded, that no means have been spared
which were calculated TO impair my
private as well as public character, |
carry with me into retirement ,noadis-
position to complain. The reeollection
Of injustice done to me is lost in the sat
isfaction springing, from the conscien-
tious discharge Of my duty, and from the
many evidences which the people have
afforded of their determinations never to
allow pesonal invective or factious a.
buse to lessen the weight which is due to
important public principles and meas
ures.
Iembrace you, sir, and those in whose
behalf you have addressed me, with the
fervor of an old friend, who is anxious to
renew his former relations. and to man
ifest in the walks of private life, how
dearly be values the privilege Of being
numbered with you, one Of tho sovereign
people of free and happy America.

"Rome compelled her brck-makers to

years have been spent in conducting the

the mark exactly. The brick is worthy

FIRE IN DErRo1r.--By Capt. Titus,
of the Steamboat Sandsky, and by pas
sengers in the same boat, which left De-
troit yesterday, we learn that the city
has been visited by destructive fire.
About one O'Clock yesterday morning it
broke out in Bakery at the foot of the
Woodward avenue, near the river, de-
stroyed that, the. Warehouse of Messrs.
James L. Whiting & Co. and several
groceries and tenements, as far up as the
Steamboat Hotel, which was saved.
The Warehouses of Messrs. Gray and
Gallagher, and Poupard & Petty, were
with difficulty saved. One of our infor-
mants estimates the number Of buildings
al thirty, and others variously. 1t is sta
ted that a large number of poor fami-
lies are made houseless by the fire. The
amount of losses cannot be estimated
with any degree of correctness by our in
formants. We shall have particulars in
a day or wo,--CleUeland Herald.
