A PIECE OF QUAKER STRATEGY

In Scribner for February. in his New
York in the Revolution" Mr.. John F.
Mines gives the following account of the
way Putnam escapeffrom Howe when
the British captured the city in l776:
Neither soldier nor fugitive knew how
narrow had been the escape of Putnam's 5
army that day. When Sir VIM. Howe
accompanied by Clinton and Tryon. land
ed at kip's bay with the main body of
the British army. they struck across to
the middle road. intending to make their
camp on the heights of Inclenburg. mid
way between New York and Harlem.
They reached the road at a point Just
opposite to where Putnam was stealing
along. under cover of the woods that
skirted the Hudson. to rejoin Washing
ton. There was house near BY, from
whose upper windows they might easily
have discovered the dust created by the
rapid march of the rebels" and from
its cupola the CLEAN of bayonets would
have been plainly visible. The Ameri-
cans were not distant, indeed. but there
was another and more insidious foe near
at hand. Close to the middle road, al
point now designated BY the corpora
ton as Fifth avenue and Thirty
street. stood the unpretentious but ex.
eeedingly comfortable mansion of Rob
ert Murray, Quaker merchant Of ap
proved loyalty to the crown, as well ai
Of large wealth. Fortunately the shrewd
merchant could not control the feelings
of his household, and his wife and hii
daughters we're ardent patriots
When Lord Howe and bis staff reach
ed the edge of the Quaker's gardens theI
were enraptured to find Mrs. MURRAY
and her beautiful daughters ready t
greet them with a warm welcome. Thr
parties had once met in more peaceful
days
William" said the fair Quaker mat

self at our house ?"

The invitation was seconded BY Il

In section T. ~ of Agricultural Hall
ia An ase.cracked pillow made, the label
says, IN 1887 by Daniel Webster. 1t Is
exhibited by the College OF Agriculture,
and is known rs the "W ebster piow,'
There is peculiar interest in a relic to
which the Demosthcncs OF America re-
ferred in saying: when have hold Of
the handles of my big pillow, with four
yokes of oxen to pull it through, and hear
the roots crack and see the stumps all go

it. It's extreme length is IL feet; length

CHRISTIAN SToCK lAKDS,
Wheeling, August Il.

Cattle-The demand Is only MODERATE
though better than last week. Choice
cattle only bring 4!c. Thin steers and
cows range AS low as 2!c.
Hogs-The few arrivals this week have
had better effect on the market, and
the demand Tor bacon hogs is fair at
quotations.
Sheep and Lambs-The demand con-
tinues dull. While the supply Is not 50
numerous rs last week it seems TO be still
greater than the demand.
Cows-Demand moderate.
Calves-Very little demand.
The market generally may be said to
show - little better tone this week than
last and though it's far from satisfactory
there are hopes of its further improve
ment. With the nearer approach TO
cooler westher change 70, the better Is
looked for. At present the butchers re-
port no demand, every one is eating
vegetables.
| In this connection We may mention
that there is sn effort on foot by num-
her of butchers and drovers TO organize n
Joint stock company, for the erection OF a
hotel and drove yards back of Wheeling
hill, Tor the purpose of increasing the
facilities Tor keeping stock. The capital
TO be invested is said 20 be about S5,OoO.
