RERECCi BATES.

Rehecca Bates died at Scituate, Mass,
on the nth inst. Miss Bates and her
cousin, Able, were the two girls who
in the war Of 1872, by hiding behind
some rocks and with "A fife and drum
sounding roll -call, saved Scituate from
'being plundered 10y British marauders,
who had taken boats from British
man-of-war. The miscreanls, hearing
the fife AMI drum, supposed that IA
force of Americans was hidden by the
rocks and they put back to their ship.
This il "A well authenticated bit Of his
tory.
See the iars the long-boats lower,
Down from the British seventy-four,
soon the red-coats hOr'les shall pour
Ger the fair and peaceful land;
soon shall foes pollute the shore,
In flames shall Scltuate soon roar,
Her streets shall run with patriots gore
Shed by hireling alien hand.
Their banners To the breeze are flung
Alnn ON royal Flagstaff hung,
The denth-knell OF the town IN rung
BY the cry, "The foe! they come!"
Then rose prayer from every tongue
Of every woman old and young,
While British hearts were terror-stung
}y the larum fife and drum.
Hank! whence that dread.inspirlng sound?
No guards are there for miles arouud,
Twas thought no succor could he found
Or help To stand the storm.
Upon the waves the boats now bound,
Loud does the hidden drum resOund;
The captain scans the rock-ribbed ground,
But cannot see one soldiers form.
Then came the order To retreat
Back To the waiting, watching fleet,
And louder did the maidens beat
And blow their dram and fife;
The red-coats stood upon their feet
And scarce looked back for fear 10 meet
Or sight Of patriot army greet,
And trembled rs for life.
still lid the British banner wave,
As though II sheltered not a knave
Or one who did not freedom crave
or mourn his captive fate
Their work was done, the town was saved,
And none alive or in the grave
Are known who are OF were more brave
Than Able and Rebecca Bates.

A Judges Charge, WIN Variations.

The following comes from Georgia,

stenographer who took 1t down:
Judge - was noted for the way
he got mixed in his charges to the jury.
On one occasion case was tried before
him, the points of which may be briefly
stated thus: Smith brought suit against
Jones upon a prommissory note given
for u horse. JOnes's defense was fall
ure of consideration, he averring that
at tie time of the purchase the horse
had the glanders, of which he died, and
that smith knew il. Smith replied
that the horse did not have Jhe CLAM
ders, but had the distemper, and that
Jones knew it when he bought.
The Judge charged the jury: "Gentle-
men of the jury, pay attention to the
charge of the court. You have already
made one mis-trial of this case, because
you did not pay attention to the charge
of the court, and | don't want you to
do it again. intend to make 1t so
clear to you this time that you cannot
possibly make any mistake. This suit
is upon note given for promissory
horse. hope you understand that.
Now, if you find that at the time OF
the sale Smith had the CHAMBERS, and
Jones knew it, Jones cannot recover
That is clear, gentlemen. will state
il again. If you find that at the time
of the sale Jones had the distemper,
and Smith knew it, then Smith cannot
possibly recover But, gentlemeni 1
will state it third time, so that you
cannot possibly make mistake. AT
the time of the sale Smith had the
CHAMBERS, and Jones had the distemper,
and the horse knew II, then neither
Smith, Jones nor the horse can recover.

Things, we soon may reach the day.

And our hearts though stout aud brave,

Seeming like some polar wave.

Let the dead past bury Its dead.

SEPT. 19.-The numerous rain storms
have kept threshing back. -. The steam
threshing machine engine of Waring &
Co., exploded while threshing MIR. Tracy's
gr:.in on his farm near Hilo; the engine
was thrown over the separator about 40
feet in the air, landing about GO feet in the
rear of the separator, then rcbounding a
distance OF Is to 20 feet. A young man
named VIM. Gear, employed hauling wa
ter, was badly scalded about the face,
chest and legs. The supposition is that he
will recover, although he is now lying in a
critical condition and likely to lose his
eye sight. One of the Waring boys was
also slightly scalded and his brother re-
ceived some light scratches about the head.
With those exceptions, the threshing crew
miraculously escaped an untimely death or
manning for life. All were considerably
stunned from the shock. About 500 bushels
of wheat, separator and one wagon were
totally destroyed by fire caused by the ex-
,iosion. Considerable blame is attached
to K. Depolder, engineer. Great in
