Thrilling Incident.

Colonel John Mcdonald, of Ross
county Ohio, at a.recent public din
ner, related the following touching
Iiincident.
Ia+1737, Wheeling vas besieged
Ihy 4 large army of-Dritish aud Indi-
I1ns. So suddenly was the attack
made that no time was afforded for
preparation. The tort,a the time'of
Tie assault, EaseommaAded by Col.
+; <i;as Zane; and CO.. E5erezer Zane,
the senior officer, wa5i in q block house
some SO or 100 yards outside the
wall. The enemy made several des-
perate assaults TO break into the fort,
but on every onset they were driven
back. The ammunition for the de-
fence of the fort was deposited in tho
block house, and the attack vas made
so suddenly ard unexpectedly that
there was no time to remove 1t. On
the afternoon of the second day of
the seige the powder in the fort was
nearly exhausted, and no alternative
remained but that some n must pass
through the enemv's fire to the block
house Tor powder. When Silas Zane
made the proposition 10 the men to
see ii any one would undertake the
hazardous enterprise, at first all were
silent. After looking at each other
for some time. a youth stepped for
ward and said he would run the
chance. Immediately half a dozen
offered their services in the danger
Gus enterprise.
While they were disputing about

clared she would GO for the powder,
Her brother thought she would finch
from the enterprise, but he was mis-
taken. She had the intrepidity TO
dare, and the fortitude to bear her up
in the heroic risk of her life. Her
brother then tried to dissuade her
from the attempt, by saying man
would be more fleet, and consequent
" would run less risk of losing his
life. She replied that they had nota

scarcely be missed. She then divcst-
el herself of such of her clothing as
would impede her speed, and ran till
she arrived at the door OF the block

The indians. when they saw her

aloud "Sguaw, squaw, squaw."
When she had told her brother the

NEwsPAPEEs.-A newspaper taken
in Il family seems to shed a gleem of
Intelligence around. 1t gives the
children 4 taste for reading, it COM
municates al tie important events in
the busy world; it is a never failing
source Of amusement, and furnishes
Il fund OF instruction which will nev-
c: be exhausted. Every family,
however poor, if they wish 10 hold u
place in the rank of intelligent beings,
should take at least n newspaper.
And the man who, possessed Of pro-
perry sufficient to make himself easy
for hle, surrounded by children eager
Tor knowledge, is instigated by the
vile ,pirit of cupidity and neglects to
subscribe for Il newspaper, is deficient
in the duties of 4 parent or a good
citizen, and is deserving of the GEN.

Swift has some where said money
is liberty, and Il poet, who vas by
no means cynical, has added, that mo
ncy is also friendship, and society
and almost every external blessing;
at the same time remarking. that ii is
a great, iAyuLh an i'll narured com.
fort. to see . g1odly number Of those
who possess it in abundance, without
friends. The remark OF Su'f. may
seem 30 be true, but is really ialse.-
The rich are often the vcricsl slaves
on earth. They toll and labor, and
calculate. and are filled with anxiety
their days-and all lhey get in re-
turn IS simple suhsistenco-a coffin
and IL winding shetland Il few pre-
tended mournerS, when they die, who
think less If them than their estates.
