AnecdOte of General Washington

The following reached us little too
late to appear on the 22d of February;
however it will keep. and will doubtless
interest many of our readers:
In 1896 l heard the farmer referred
to narrate the following incident: When
the British army held possession of
New York, and Washington with the
American army lay near West Point,
one morning at sunrise went forth to
bring home the cows. On passing
clump of brush wood, 1 heard moan
ing sound like person in distress; on
nearing the spot, heard the words of
man at prayer; l listened behind a
tree; the man came forth; it was George
Washington, the captain of the Loid's
host in North America. This farmer
was member of the Society of Friends,
who being opposed to war under any
pretext, was lukeworm, and, in some
cases, opposed to the cause of the coun-
try; he was a Tory. However, having
seen the General enter the camp, he
went to his own house; SAID he to his
wife: "Marths, We must not oppose the
war any longer; this morning heard
the man George Washington send up a
prayer to heaven for his country, and |
know it will be heard" This Friend
dwelt between the lines, and sent Wash.
ington many items concerning the move
ments of the enemy, which rendered
good service.
From this incident we may infer t. at
Washington rose with the sun to pray
for his country. He fought for her at
her meridian and watched for her at
midnight. Every editor of newspa-
per, magazine or journal, between Mon
tauk Point end the State of Oregon, il
he has three drops of American blood
in his veins, should publish the above
on the 22d of February, (Washington's
birthday,) while woods grow and wa
tiers run.

Professor Henderson, of Portland,
gave public reading at the City Hall
last Saturday morning. The Prof. is
young man of commanding pres
ence, has deep, rich and well trained
voice, and is otherwise an accom-
pished elocutionist. He read a Sc
lection from Mark Twain, "Poe's
Bells" and an extract from the plav
of "Our American Cousin" conclud-
ing with recitation of 'sRoger and
l." His audience was highly pleased
with his reading. The Professor vol
unteers to read some evening and de-
vote half the proceeds to the Library
fund. He has class in elocution.
which meets every Saturday morning
at the public school house, at 81
O'Clock.

the farming community was we'll rep
resented in town. They came in,
looking blue with cold. On such in

the INDEPENDENT Office, or other pub
lie places, should keep pot of hot
coffee on the stove, with crackers and
cheese on side board, for their coun-
try visitors. What do you say, breth-

Miss Timmons, and other ladies

They seem to be quite at home in any

We went "home with the girls in

ton remained unsolved. A lady
friend suggested that it might be the
