Revolutionary ~ANECDOTE.~-At a late
meeting Of the Maryland Historical Society,
says the Baltimore American, a communica-
ton from James Howard, Esq, was read GOV
ering the following historical anecdote rela-
tive to the character of Washington /:
Near the close Of the year l776, on a stor-
my evening of a wintry day, an apsemblage
OF British officers bad collected in a coffee
room in the city of New York. Among 9TH
er topics of their conversation the name OF
Washington was introduced. His character
and qualifications as a military man were
freely and fully discussed, and various opin-
ions eXpressed-some questioning, and others
admitting, his superior abilities as a general.
Amosg the officers present was Sir Wm. En-
skine, who, being appealed to for his opinion,
remarked; If Gen Washington really possesses
the military genius and talents ascribed TO
him, it will not be long before we hear of him
among the Hessians. At the very time this
remark was uttered, Gen. Washington had
projected and was engaged in the execution
of p~reciseIy such a movement by his meInora-
bic attack and capture of the Hessians at
Trenton; and a few hours bore to the officers
engaged in the conversation intelligence OF
the disaster and the Verifcatiou Of the shrewd
Erskine's opinion.

some Of his nobIest performances at the points
most femarkable for their wonderful echoes.

The MURDEREss.-Mrs. Pennoyer, arrested
for the murder of her brother, at Hoboken,
hung herself in her cell. The True Sun
says
'Her neck was broken, and there can be-
no doubt that she died instantly since, from
the position of her cell, any struggling must
have been heard in the keepers room. In her
husbands absence, Mrs. Ellis was good en-
ough TO show us the cell, the s~tove~pipe, and
the chair aud a gloomier dungeon it has nov-
er>been our lot TO enter. To be shut up with
a gully conscience in such a horrible den, is
as fearful a fate as we can imagine any hui
man being TO endure on earth. The wretch.
ed weman could hardly have had light enc
ough to hang herself"
