may be left inside, but the young one | re-
serve for myself
Hist cried one of the men in loud voice.
The Major ceased, and they heard voice out
side the House. Although the words were
spoken low, the listeners distinctly heard,
When I say fire, give it to them!'
A man with blanched cheek rushed into
the house, exclaiming =
The yard is full of men y
Fire, cried deep voice from the yard
A general volley succeeded, and so well had
the aim been directed in the door, that several
of the tories fell, either dead or desperately
wounded. In turn the tories retreated up the
stairs, when David, our hero, rushed into the
room they had just left, and cut the ropes Of
the Bunkers.
May God Almighty bless you for this,
cried one of the Bunkers
The two men sprang up, seized their rifles,
which had been left in the room, and prepared
to retaliate the treatment they had just re-
ceived.
Long and desperate was the battle.
The tories fought DOR life, the wings for re-
venge. But at length, the latter triumphed,
tho not until their enemies had been almost
exterminated. The Major fell by the arm Of
our hero, who had sought him in the hottest
of the fight, and engaged him single-handed.
No language of ours can express the emo
tions of David as he pressed his betrothed wife
TO his bosom. and his heart went up in thank
fulness to Heaven for his timely arrival. when
he thought that delay of half an hour would
have consigned her to fate worse than death.
The gratitude of her brothers was expressed
In many words, but hers was silent and tear
full, yet how much more gratifying.
l almost called you coward, son David,
said his father TO him, when they met, but
you are a chip of the old block, and l did you
wrong. Deborah, he is boy to be proud Of
is he net! You may founder one of my horses
every day that you do such a deed-it beats
anything ever saw in the Old French war;
Davd's gallantry in this act, drew around
him in few weeks more than score Of hardy
young followers, who fought with him to the
end of the war, when he returned and was
happily married to the heroine of our story.

EFFECTIVE RETALIATION. A Quaker had
quarrelsome neighbor, whose COW being suf-
fered to go at large, often broke into the Quak-
er's well cultivated garden. One morning,
having driven the COW from his premises to
her owners house, he said to him, Friend
T, have driven thy cow home once
more, and if find her in my garden again
Suppose you do, his neighbor angrily ex-
claimed, 'what will you do!' 'Why,' said
the Quaker, 'rll drive her home TO thee again,
friend + The COW never again troubled
the Quaker.

A Murder Discovered The Murderers Arrested.
A week or two since it was suspected that
murder had been committed at Kankakee.--
The Gazette gives the following account of the
d scovery of the deed and the arrest Of the per-
petrators:
''The murdered man was mulatto, and the
nnrderers three young men belonging to some
of the Oldest and most respect able families in
the county of kankakee, and negro II APP
pears that Nichols, Simmons and another Young
man named Stratton, on Friday week last pur-
chased property of the mulatto, whose name we
could not learn; it consisted of small farm.
They had paid him $3.50 for the property, and
shortly after paying him followed him out on
the prairie, and basely and cruelty took his fe
and robbed him OF the money just paid to HIM.
They then returned 10 the house and informed
his wife that they had purchased her husbands
property, and that he had started for Michigan,
on his way to Canada. After tea they took
with them young man named Sloan, and ne
gro named Green Wilson, and went out % u here
the body was lying, put it into their wagan and
taking it to the Iroquos river, filled bag with
sanl and fastening the bag to the body of their
victim, cast it into the river. In few days,
however, On account of the heat of the wealth
er. probably, the body partially rose to the CUR
face, and washed ashore. 1t was discovered in
Tins situation by boy who was in the habit of
driving some catti- to water at this part Of the
river On the day of the discovery, e noticed
that The animals refuse. to go near the water,
and on going to the bank himself TO discover
the reason, he was shocked by seeing the body.
1hns Providence, as i'll most cases OF this kind,
points 10 the evidence of so hlieons crime
The young man Strat,on, who has a wife and
chilli, has confessed his gull and implicated
the three others Simmons, as aiding him in
IL, NJ,
Sloan as accessories after the act. -..-..
Thus, for the sake of paltry sum of $3.50,
four young men have stained their souls with
the guilt of wilful and DELHI murder.

SERIOUS AccIDENT.-While hauling lum-
Der to the yard Of the Messrs. Gilbert, Sat-
urday, Mr.. Thomas lrussel, living IL the
lower part of the city, was seriously if not
fatally injured. a bundle of shingles fell
forward against the horses heels, which
frightened them and they ran. Mr.. Trussel
fell forward, his foot catching in the chains
or double trees, in which condition he was
dragged some distance. the horses running at
great speed. The violence of the concus-
sion in striking the Jefferson street bridge,
probably loosened his foot, whore he was
picked up and carried into the City Brewery.
When we saw him one check bone had the
appearance of being entirely broken in and
one eye appeared to be gone. His head was
terribly bruised.

two columns oforiginal and selected mat

from writer 10 the Westminster review,
of"nrc logic" an attempt is made to con-
vince this community that total abstinence

dcisl, hcalthful and proper! No longer
