button and cone must be next taken of, and the
cone may be used for stand to set the lamp on
while trimmng-after which the wick-hoder is
taken out and the wick raised above the tube sui-
cient to cut off the black or crusted edge, which
should he done with sharp pair of scssors-the

AN OLD BATTLE FIELD.

An incident occurred lately on the farm
Of MahIon s. Loyett, Esq, of Frederick
county, (Va.) which may interest the
antiquarian, and call up some reflections
as to the character Of the inhabitants who
preceded US in this region. The heavy
rains ofthe season had washed up a por.
ton Of Mr.. Luyett's meadow land, on Hog
creek, to the depth of foot or more and
in ploughing soon after, the plough turned
up bushels Of old rusty musket and rifle
bullets, which had probably been embedded
there Tor more than three. quarters OF cen.
fury.
The ground thus giving up the mosscn.
gers of death was no doubt the scene Of a
bloody contest between the white and In.
dian races, or between opposing tribes Of
the lattor; and so far back that not YES.
Ilge is to be seen Of the victims of the
strife. The bones have doubtless long
since decayed, and become q part of the
dust which has since produced many lux.

INDIANA ELECTION.

The las, indianapolis State Journal gives
returns for Governor, reported and official,
from nearly the whole State, and comes to
the conclusion that the Locotoco candidates
for Governor and Lieutenant Governor
will be elected, but by majority less than
that given to Mr.. Polk, and considerably
less than that given to Mr.. Whitcomb al
his first election. According TO the same
authority, the Senate is again a tie, and
the Wings viii have majority of six OF
eight in the House, giving them the Leg.
isIaiure on joint ballot.
