rail- At 10 o'clock-some two hours before
our captain reached the outskirts ofthe town
twenty-five more were in the saddle and off,
and it is said that Seguin himself was only two
hundred yards distant when the Ilfle was dis
charged at one Of his spies, and further, that he
too, made at once for the chGparat as fast as his
horse would carry him.
The Rangers followed on the trail of the run
aways until point was reached where they
were scattered, Scouts Of the enemy were
seen on the distant hill tops, watching our adj
vance, but it was deemed useless to pursue the
fug tives further on tired horses, and they know
ing every foot of the country, we were ordered
back to town, and are now occupying the very
quarters recently filled by Seguins's men. His
tory mentions but few instances where hand
full of men have driven double their number
from strong position, for such this really is,
without some show of resistance.

DYING FROM HOME. The following is an
extract from the Memoirs Of the Rev Mr.
Thatcher, distinguished clergyman Of Boston
who di ed some years since on the continent Of
Europe, whittier he had repaired for the bone-
fit of his health
at is a sad thing to think that we must die
away from our home. Tell not the invalid
who is yearning after a distant country, that
the atmosphere around him is soft and the gales
are filled with balm and the flowers are spring
ing from the green earth; he knows that the
soitest air TO his heart would be the air which
hangs over his native land; that more gratefully
than all the gales Of the South, would breathe
the low whisper Of anxious affections, that
the icicles clnging to his own caves, and the
snow beating against his own windows, would
he far more pleasing to his eye, than the bloom
and verdure which only more forciblY remind
him how far he is from that spot which is dear
or to him than all the world besides. He may
indeed find estImable friends, who will do all in
their power to promote his comfort and assuage
his pains; but they cannot supply the place of
the long known and mute language of his face,
they have not learned to communicate with
out hesitation, his wishes, impressions and
thoughts to them. He feels that he is a srau-
ger and more desolate feeling than that could
not visit his soul. How much is expressed by
that form of oriental benediction--may yOu die
among your Kindred"
