A HuMAs BoDY AND THE HoUR OF DAY.
Seat yourself at table. Attach a
piece of metal say a shilling to a thread
Having placed your elbow on a table,
hold the thread between the points Of
the thumb and fore-fnger, and allow
the shilling to hang In the centre ot
glass tumbler, the pulse will cause the
shilling to tibrate like pendulum and
the vibrations viii increase until the
shilling strikes the SIDE Of the glass,
and suppose the experiment to be the
hour Of seven or half-past seven, the
pendulum viii strike che glass seven
times and then lose its momentum
and return to the centre. if you hold
the thread a sufficient length Of time
the effect will be repeated; but not I'M

so he expelled him as matter of duty.

Just as he came in sight Of the enemy,

GERS, he exclaimed, with his powerful
voice
There are the red-coats, boys We
must beat them to-day or Molly Stark

The attack was not commenced regn-
larly until the afternoon Of the lGth.---
The action immediately became gcner-

one continued noise like the rn6lirg Of

and the German Dragons kept togeth-
er after having expended their ammu-
milton, and led by Their Colonel charg-

overpowered. The whole detachment,
though well inclosed bytwobreastworks
were forced to give way to the superior
courage Of the Americans, who with
their rough brown frelocks, scarcely a
bayonet, little discipline, and not a
single piece of cannon, ventured to at
tack 500 well trained regulars, furnish
% with the completest arms and accou-
trements, besides having two pieces Of
artillery and being adyantageously post
ed, and accompanied by one hundred
Indians.
The battle was most obstinate on
both sides, when the Germans finally
gave way, which it is Just to say, part
ly through failure Of ammunition. -
They left their artillery behind them,

daring spirit Of the times, claims addi-

Among the Birkshire militia, who
rallied so bravely TO the aid of Stark

Washington Irving has suggested, one
of the beliicose family of the hero OF
Ticonderoga.

Bankruptcy Decisions.

The Commissioners of Internal Revenue
has announced the following decisions:
In case where the United States is
creditor OF bankrupt for taxes, the CLAIM,
may be enforced in two ways:
Flrst-By lien against the propertv
where such lien is attached before the party
has been adjudged bankrupt. In that
case 1t is proper for the collector to demand
under the authority of a warrant of dstraint
possession OF the property of the bankrupt
to which lien is attached, for the purpose OF
satisfying the warrant and all lawful char
gcs thereon. Should the Marshal refuse to
deliver, the collector should then submit n
motion to the court having jurisdiction in
the case of bankruptcy, for an order to the
Marshal to make the delivery demanded.
II the court refuse to make such an order,
but will direct that the claim of the United
States be placed ut the head of the list of
claims to be paid before even costs in bank
ruptcy, then the collecto. may accept that
order, or he may except any other orders
which the court may make, which will Sc

"Secondly-Section second Of the Bank

that act shall interfere with the assessment
and collection of taxes by the authority of
the United States. In cases where there is
no such lien, and also where the tax may be
secured without resort to the remedy by
liens, the collector should file the assessment
with his certificate of nonpayment among
the claims against the petitioner in bank
ruptcy, with further suggestion, which
may be made otherwise if necessary, but
