Attic sewall and John Smith.

The Old Brewery Prison, in which
were confined n large number Of Hmeri.
eau captives, while the British occupied
New York. was under the supcrintend
ence of Provost Cunningham, hearlless
and unfeeling man. It was horrid place,
and the food supplied TO the prisoners was
decidedly unwholesome. Sometimes the
Provost would give permit 10 friends of
the unforlunatcs, and in this way they oc-
casionaly received few mou,hsful Of
fresh food. As general thing they were
kept in close confinement on prison fare.
A few, who had rich relatives. were ex.
ceptions-for money would buy favors
from any Of the subOrdinates o! the prison.
There was n handsome young fellow there
named John Smith Zone Of The ancestors
Of the present numerous family OF Johns. }
He was scarcely nineteen, and yet he had
served his country rs lieutenant, and
was in every respect brave and noble
youth. A female friend and distant rela.
tive Of Lieut.. Smith one day visited the
prison in company with her father (un
influential tory. and when she saw his
miserable condition she was unatfrcie1ly
grieved. This delicate persuaded her
father to ask the liberation OF Lieutenant
Smith on parole, but his application was
unsu 'cessful. Smith, by his bold behav.
lor, had III some way offended General
Clinton that or other causes kept
him "A close prisoner. But Arte Scwel
(for Artema was her namc) determined
TO serve him il she could. Again visiting
The prison, she learned from Smith that II
certain woman, whose husband kept n
public house in lane on the North river
side, was in Washington's confidence !;
ard if il were possible to get out OF priS-
on that woman would secrete him and
send him to New Jersey. Plans were
then discussed. and the bold girl furnish
cd the handsome young Lieutenant full
suit OF female clothing. But it was not
easy to pass the guard, even in this dis
/ guise. Ariic, therefore, resOrted 10 the
/ following stratagem. She persuaded a
female friend "a tail, handsome CIR! OF
seventeen, named Ramsey,) to visit the
+ prison with her. They both wore green
wells. After remaining in the room a
sufficient. timeTfor their purpose, Smith
lett the prison in his disguise, his face COZ
cred with a green veil, in company with
Arte. They passed the guard with
challenge, and hasted Immediately TO The
tavern renedzvous, where Smith soon d.
vested himself of his disguise. Miss
Ramsey was not SO fortunate she was
detained. and the escape OF Smith at once
discovered. The alarm proved too late
however. HThe imprisoned young lady
SO stongIy protested her innocence Of all
completely in the plot, that she was soon
/ liberated. Artie Sewall was suppned to
appear before The Governor. but never
obeyed the summons. Her fathers in
iluence was important enough to hush up
the matter entirely. Lieut.. Smilh escap.
ed to New Jersey, as he had predicted
and it was n little singular that four years
afterwards he married the beautiful Miss
Ramsey. the generous Artie acting MS
bridesmaid on the occasion.- Barnes

Ague Cure,

FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Rcmittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague. Periodical Headache. or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevcrs, indeed
for the whole class of diseases origi-
mating in hillary derangement, caused
by the Malaria of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the
necessities of the American people than sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled to offer with q perfect
certainty that it will eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, that
no harm can arise from its use in any GUAM
tity.
That which protects Fom or prevents this
disorder must he of immense service in the
communities whore it prevails. Prevention is
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks of
this Galeful distemper. This "CuRE" cxpcls
the miasmatic poison of FEVER AND AGuE
from the system and prevents the develop
mcnt of tho disease, if taken on the first ap-
pruach of its prcmonitory symptoms. 1t is
not only the best remedy ever vet discovered
for this class Of complaints, but also the
cheapest. The large quantity VIC supply for
dollar brings it within the reach Of every
body; and in bilious districts, where FEVER
AND AGuE prevails, every body should have it
and use it freely both for cure and protection
1t is hoped this price will place it within the
reach of all-the poor as well as the rich. A
great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and GER
tain cure Of Intcrmittcnts is, that it contains
70 Quininc or mineral, consequently it pro-
duccs no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left Is healthy as if they he'd ncyc-
had the disease.
Fever and Agucis not alone the consequence
Of the miaematic poison. n great variety Of
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism Gout Headache,
Blindness, Toothachc, Earache, Catarh, ASth-
ma, palpit0tion, Painful Affection Of the
Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie,
Paralysis, and Dcrangemcnt Of the Stomach,
all Of which, when originating in this cause,
put ON the intermittent type, or become period
ical. This Cure" Cxpels the poison from
the blood, and consequently cures them all
alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to immi-
grants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken
occasionally or daily while exposed to the in
fuCtiun, that viii be cXcrCted from tie system,
and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
10 ripcn into disease Hence it is even more
valuable for protection than cure, and lew will
ever suffer from Intcrmittcnts, if they avail
themselves Of the protection this remedy af-
fyrls.

GRoss AND Net WEIGHT OF SHEET
A few years ago we ascertained the live
and dead weight Of large number Of
sheep slaughtered for the tallow near this
city, md found that the carcass weighed
abou, three .G(ths OF the live weight
These were common sheep, ailording only
about twelve pounds Of tallow. Had they
been in better condition, they would have
atfored higher proporIionare weight OF
carcass. In England, with the coarse
wooleG mutton sheep, lated for the butch
er. it is generally estimated that q stone
live weight { ID lbs. } will give stone
dead weight { 9 lbs. } The live weight
{ astertained after the sheep have tasted
for twelve hours is divided by seven,
and this gives the weight of the carcass
in quarters. Thus sheep, weighing 40
lbs. alive, is estimated TO weigh 20 lbs,
per quarter. We have known whole
flocks to exceed this estimate. The fatter
the sheep, the greater the dead weight il
proportion 10 the live weight Geneses
Farmer.
