ANEcDoTE.
TINES CHANGES.

Few of our readers are aware of the fact
that the little stream of water which empties
into the Christiana Creek, at what has been
known of late years by the name of the Ell
der Gut, was once navigable as far as the
stone bridge which crosses the Newport
Turnpike about hundred yards south of
Front street. Shallops used to come up the
creek this far to take in wood for the Phila-
delphia market. The country round at that
day was one vast forest, which Campanus
tells his readers was infested with a large
and horrible serpent, called Rattle Snake,
which had head like a dog, and could
"bite off mans leg as clear as if it had
been hewn down with an axe" Two cen
turtles have made marked changes. Now
the smallest batteau could not get up the
little stream or gutter we might say that re.
mains The forests have disappeared and
with them the horrible reptiles which were
a terror to the inhabitants, and in their stead
we have extensive manufactures, fine dwell
ings, and thrifty, honest people.
THE FIRE FLY.
Among the curiosities ol this section some
two hundred and fifty years ago was an in
sect known to the Indians by the name Of
Cucuyo, OR the Fire Fly. Campanius saws in
speaking of it, that they were very thick
around Wilmington and gave so strong n
light at night that it was sufficient to show a
man his way when travelling. One could
also write and read the smallest print by the
light which they gave. lie also relates that
on one occasion a vast army of these flies
surrounded Fort Christina which stood on
the banks of the Christiana river, in the vi
cinity of the old church, which frightened
the soldiers on duty in terrible manner
The guard ran into the Fort, declaring that
an immense army of the enemy (the Duich)
were advancing on their works each with Il
lighted match in his hand. 1t produced
great CONSERVATION for a time among the
troops, but it was soon discovered that the
cause of their terror was only an insect which
was afterwards found to be very serviceable
1t is pity we have not few of them now.

Patent Roofing.

To those who contemplate building, we
would direct their attention to the card of Mr.
w. D. Diboll In this mornings paper a good
roof is very desirable thing TO have on a
structure Of any importance and as the roof is
not one Of the least costly portions of an edi
flee, any thing that would deduct from the
cost of il, without taking anything from its
good qualities, is most assuredly worthy 81
consideration. Mr.. Diboll has put on large
number of roofs of the kind he adyertises, in
this city during the past ten years. and We are
satisfied they give general satisfaction Foi
the truth Of their excellence he has the priv
lege of referring to some of our most sub
stantial and reliable citizens.
Among the roofs put on by him more re-
Gently, We may mention those of the 40 Round
Houses in this city and at Waterloo, fot

II is affirmed that this kind of roofing will on;
last a tin one, and that they are Ivy no means
as expensive. AS Mr.. ID. proposes now, not
only to take contracts as usual in the city, but
also for the country we commend him and
his method to our country patrons, and read
ers. ANY information they may desire tC
have on the subject, they can readily procure
by addressing letter to him with the proper
inquiries We have no doubt but this style
of roofing is admirably adapted for barns and
out houses, aud we have. every reason to he
lieve when its utility and cost is known tC
farmers that it will be generally adopted

Accident in q Harvest Field.

The Wisconsin State Journal gives
the following account of q singular
and serious accident to Mr.. Henry
Morse, of Columbus, which occurred
near the close of last month:
Mr.. Morse was reaping, about two
miles from home, and while waiting
for his son to bring some water, the
horses got the lines under the end OF
the tongue, and he walked out on it,
between his horses, and removed it
and while returning, holding the lines,
the off horse showed signs of dissatis.
faction, and stepped away from the
tongue and as Mr.. Morse was likely
to fall, he made an effort to save him
self by throwing himself into his seat
on the reaper, but partially missed it,
and fell directly behind his horses
heels, and in front of the sickle and
his team saw and realized that he was
in an unnatural position, they became
suddenly frightened, and with terrible
desperation, jumped, both at the same
time. Mr.. Morse was on his back, or
nearly so, with the lines firmly grasp
ed in his hands, and with all his power
tried to arrest the speed of his spirited
horses, but in vain and as thoughts
went quickly through his mind, he let
20 one line, and brought them around
on circle, when it was supposed the
sickle was started for the first time ;
for when they started his leg was
brought firmly between the sickle
guards, and by the aid Of his bootleg
clogged the sickle. His son tried to
stop them, but Mr.. NJ. succeeded him
self; and when his son held them by
the bits, Mr.. NJ. found that his right
limb was severed just above his ankle,
except the heel cords, which served to
drag the dismembered foot along the
ground, under the platform, He ex-
tricated himself, one guard having PEN
etrated the heshly part of the thigh,
thus carrying him along and probably
saving both his arms, which would
have been cut off had the reaping ma
chine passed over him. His son had
presence of mind, and tied up the arte-
ries with a string, which he fortunate
ly had by him. He was carried home,
where surgeon amputated it and
he bids fair to get along finely. Mr..
Morse said he did not know when his
leg was cut off, but it was done in
simultaneously.
