ANECDOTE OF GEN. HARRISON.

When the murderous British General Proc
;or, with a force Of more than four times a.
Egrea. as Harrison's boseiged him nj Fort Me;ga
he sent TO demand Of Harrison TO surrender ai
leging, that he wished TO save tho e6i.s;on 81
blood Harrison beat him off, aud then learn.
ed from some Indians who had left the British
army, that Proctor had solcmnly agreed with
Tecumseh TO give Harrison up to the Indians
to be tortured and burnt alive ifthe Fort sur.
rendered. Harrison replied to this horrible
intelligence: "General Proctor IS neither 4
soldier nor a man. III catch him, | will not
kill him nor give him up to be tormented, but
VIII treat him as Squaw and dress him in n
flannel pettcoat, and expose him to the con.
temptuous gaze OF the army" Shortly after.
at The kbattle of the Thames, Harrison heat
Proctor, and took his whole army, with all his
baggage land papers; but though hot pursuit
was made after Proctor, he escaped BY the feet.
ness Of his horse.
Such was the hatred of Proctor in the West.
where the wives and sisters of the victims he
had delivered up to the Indians at the River
Raisn, resided, that,thc ladies of Chillicothe
on hearing of Harrison's threat to dress Proc.
tor as squaw, sent a flannel petlicoat TO Fort
Melgs to enable Harrison TO execute his threat
should he catch Proctor; and there is no doubt
that had Proctor been caught, he would have
been marched before the American army in the
tlannel petiicoat as suitable punishment for
so cruel and cowardly wretch. Out of these
facts an administration newspaper, four wears
ago, coined the lie, that the petticoat was sent 10

THE WILL--OR A PLACE TO SPIT IN.
A FABLE.


Once upon time there was very rich old
gentleman, who had an adopted son, on whom
he laylshed, in abundant profusion, all the en-.
lJoyments which his great wealth enabled him
to bestow AT length, believing that his adop.
ted son was devo;edly attached to him, and
that an additional mark of affection and conf
dence would crafty him without doing any in.
Jury to himself, he sent for notary and made
his will, in which he bequeathed all his po.ses-
slons to his adopted son, with the stipulation
that he should always have seat at lis sons
hreslde; merely reserving a small patch OF
land, the product ofwhich, he thought sufficient
to supply his little current expenses.
No sooner was the will made than his adop.
ted son began to find the old mans presence
abouSthe firesde very annoying, he complains.
red that the old mans shoes was yery frequently
muddy, and that he dried the carpet; but whaf,
was most offensive and intolerable, was, that
The old man was an inveterate tobacco chew.
er, and frequently emitted his filthy tobac.
leo juice on the magnificent fender and and.
irons.
The adopted sons wife was perpetualIy re.
buklng the old man in this wise: "Oh! Pa.
you're too nasty, muddying the carpet, and
splttIng and sprawing about the house, and ON
the brasses, and giving the servants so much
trouble ,1 TO be forever cleaning up afte, YOU"
lhe old man bore these perpetual taunts and
reProaches with great meekness, for long
time; but i so happened that one day his adop-
led son told him that he could no longer be per-
mlted to retain his ID seat at the head Of the
table, that he intended in future to occupy /.
himself.
y A.. -
AT this the old man began to suspect that his
adopted children did not love him az much as
ne mad formerly supposed, and began to think
It very probable that he would ere long be-
kicked out Of doors altogether
Soa day or two afterwards, when something
was said about his splitting on the carpet, he
observed to his adopted son, :.you remember.
my son, when I'made my will, gave YOU every
thing except that little patch Of ground which
reserved for myself; but | find that am not
obliged TO work or bother myself with any bus
ness, as you take all the laoor off nv hands
$50 get the will which Igave you, and let me
'dd to 1t the little piece Of property which
'etaned for myself. His adopted son was de.
ighted, and hurried up TO his strong box and
brought the will to the old man, witha yery
cheerful and cxulting countenance, and hand.
ID It TO the old man, who the moment he GOT il
nto his possession, Ore il up and threw it into
ne lire; then springing up, spit large mouth
VI of the weed on the fender, and exclaimed,
Now, by G--d, I'll set at the head Of my own
able, and I've got GPiace tospi in.r
