J IW Colonel did not have long to wait before lii.s antagonist, was within pistol shot, tuul taking deliborato aim at the dragoon, ho lircu. To his surprise und astonishment, ns the smoke cleared nway, he saw that lio had missed his opponent, who was rapidly lessening the distance between them. Quick as thought, he drew the other pistol from the holster and tired that but with no better efleet. With a curse upon his ill-fortune, he now attempted to draw Ills sword, but before ho could place his hand upon the hilt, his antagonist, who was rushing forward with rapid stride**, his blade uplift eel, ami prepared with vengeful arm to strike a blow which should put an end to the Colonol's aspirations and his life together, was so close upon him that flight?was his only alternative. Dashing his spurs into the flanks of his already jaded steed, ami giving him the rein, he left his tracks but a second before the trooper passed over them. Reigning short around, he passed in the rear of the trooper, and before the latter could pull up and wheel, ho had gained bait a dozen strides the start. He did not think now of drawing his sword, but only how to escape for he had been near enough to his opponent to see that he was in earnest. There was only three prominent objects in the field or neighborhood? the enemy, the militia regiment, nncl a large barn, with cow-shed and barn-yard attached. To the lnttor he directed his Ntoed, hoping to find .some opportunity to give his enemy the slip, should be follow him. lie was not long in doubt on the latter point, for turning around he saw him almost at his heels, and rising in his stirrups preparatory to cutting him down. The barn door stood open, just as it had been left, the day previous by the husbandman when surprised by the advance of the British troops. In went the Colonel, with his hair and coat skirts flying; and in went the dragoon, after him. Out of the other door went pursuer and pursued?round the cow-shed?through the barn-yard?into the 1 - , ' . .i ? t uarn again?out at tue otner door?ami ho around and over tlio same ground again and again, until the race bccaino decidedly interesting, and tlio Colonel's horse showed some signs of giving out. Twice the Col. essayed to draw his sword to defend himself, lint as often something prevented his doing so j and h<' reflected if he wore to do s<>, before he could wheel his horse his antagonist would be upon him, and overthrow him by his very impetus, and so gave up tlic attempt. J?ut it became him now to adopt some now expedient, for with all his urging, he could only keep his animal just far enough in advance to ho out of reach of his enemy's steel. Watching his opportunity as he passed the bars in his round, ho darted through them, and made for the militia regiment, hoping that his antagonist would not venture to follow him there. In this, however ho was mistaken, for he seemed determined to overtake his man at alt hazards, regardless of personal exposure. Along the whole of the extended line of the regiment they passed, within a few feet of (ho muzzles of the soldier's guns, many I of which wore discharged at the audacious I trooper, but with as little cffoct as the Colonel's pistols had been. Many of the in on wero so full of mirth at tho unexpected, and certainly ludicrous predicament of tho hapless Colonel, that they could not aim with sufficient accuracy to hit ; and in the?v anxiety, too, to avoid him, they fired wide of tho mark ; and out of one hundred shots and upwards which woro aimed at him tho dragoon was unharmed by any !? After pursuing the Colonel down the whole line, tid having driven him to take refuge in the roar, the intrepid tollcv," gavo up the chase wheeled his horso, made for his own corps, and was seen quietly to tako his place in the ranks.

In the year 1810, n young [ joiner in this city became involved to an i extent that rendered it necessary for him ; to ask the indulgence of his creditors, and many of them signed a release. Tn the course of tho following year he obtained a discharge from his debts under the State insolvout law. Shortly afterwards ho left the city for Cayuga, where he obtained employment for a while at one dollar per day. lie then got iuto employment with tho in 1 .. ? . -1 ...1 1 . 1 1 1 A * I 1 vemur ui .1 pmem piow, mm siowiy ioiicci his way through tho world, finally establishing himself in Ohio. 11 ore, tluiirig the past year, in tho way of business, ho acquired money to tho iimount of some $9,000, with which ho at onee started for New York, to seek out his old creditors. Ife, however, found but one living. On calling at the residence of that gentleman, and inquiring of him if he recollected a young man by tho name of Joseph Hidge way, n joiner, in 1810, tho creditor, who is now about eighty years of age, replied : "I have somo recollection of the boy ; and 1 believe he owed mo something when he left the city, but I don't remember how nruch."?. Mr. Kidgeway, who is now seveuty-four years old, then said : "I wa"1 that boy; and I liavo now come to pay yoit double the amount of that debt to which you refer." He then took from his pocket and unrolled a list of bin old debts, amounting in theag gregaui ro siuout sw,uuu, varying in sums from S3.f>0 to ?22-4. In liquidation of the latter indebtedness, ho handed over to a !iv.; in?4 daughter ot' his creditor the sum of 8MX; to the son of another creditor lie paid $230 in discharge of a debt half that amount. On offering to liquidate tho last amount, Mr. Ilidgcway was referred to an oxccutor; whereupon he replied, "I want to sue no cxecutor ; I :\tn legally discharged from tho debt; besides your father released me, and a debt of -47 years standing must i be outlawed. No, 1 obey tho law of eon science, and if any of my creditors are not living, I pay to thoir children tho respective amounts of my indebtedness." It will perhaps add still further to the singularity of this antique honesty to remember that Uidgcway is still poor, what little property lie has in Ohio being under mortgage. 1 Til*!
