hands Of a Liverpool merchant, ,his

fearlessness, Sparks. the historian,
tells of an occasion when Washington
was aroused to quick action upon dis
covering a poaeher on his grounds.
Hearing the discharge Of a gun he
mounted his horse and, riding in the
direction Of the sound, soon found tbs
Intruder, who quickly Jumped into his
canoe and padded out into the river.
Washington rode instantly into the
water in spite of the poacher's threat
ening him with his fowling piece: and

him a sound thrashing then and there.
