Near Peekskill, hot far from the main road, stands a clump of forest tri'es, among which an aged hickory is somewhat conspicuous. It'bore for a long time, and still bears, ibelieve, the name of "Old Put's gal. 1wa," from the'fact that many a Tory kinner, and thieving cow boy had ~from its branches when Put. rmmagded on the lines. ly ,art or August, 1777, - britih out. d gar rok ul .o was placed on =;- servlep, and raised to a general's ..rank, vith power tocecruit and equip a 'ory corps or 'brigade from the-Ame ricans who yet' remained loyal to the crown and government of Britain. For a long time it had been a favo. rite project with Putnam that an at. tempt should be made to re-capture ie city of New York, and from all accounts it appears that Washington did not dislike the plan, but with pru dent caution did not wish to hazard at that time the risk of a defeat. Put tam, however, made saverul feints and false movements at his out.poststo alarm Sir Henry Clinton; in which he sue ceeded, and thus kept the British troops within the city for its protection, that otherwise, aided by the fleet, would have been ravaging the adjacent shores of other'Statcs. It became necessary to Sir Henry Clinton that he should ksnow the position and condition of Put. namn's troops more accurately, also en. diavor if possible to ascertain what parties in the city gave Putnam such accurate knowledge of his, Clinton's plants. Tryon was busy raising his "new levies," and for him Sir Henry sent. "General Tryon," he said, "! must know the position of Putnam's troops and their number, including his fresh hattalions of militia. You ought to find some one...a native-that has en listed in your corps that will go into the Highlands and obtain it for us. The rewardJ shall he liberal, and if success. ful, the person shall be advanced a grade." "I think I havesutch a man, Sir [HIn. ry-a sergeant in Do Lancy's regi. ment. He enlisted only a week ago and is intelligent and ambitious. He has friends on the other side that do not knuow he has joined us yet." "The very man. Go and send him." Goeeal Tryon was absent about tyvo hours, for he had sent to Harlem, where the sergeant was stationed, undergoing a drill with others of the new levios un. 4cer their officers. "i've soen the man and had a long conversation with him," said Tryon, *vhen he entered. "lie is willing to undertake it on one condition, and that is only a condition of pride." 'What is it then? "That he shall receive a lieutenant's commission at once. He then will de part the instant you require, and confi dent of success." "Do you know him to be worthy of reliance." "From all that I can learn, and from myown judgment I should not doubt it in the least." "Thlen let hais commissw iohe made out and send him with it to me. if I hmave the 'same opinion of him I wvill sign it.

EirL ry was so well pk.mdud with him flint hi4 inst4ractiona were soon completed ; and receiving his commission, the ne w lieutenant bade the British commander fatrewell, to re. turn in a few days with the desired in. formation. On reaching his quarters he changed his military apparel for a plain countryman's suit, ripped the fin. ing of his cocked hat tinder which he placed his commission which ho care. fully renewed, saying to himself: "I think when Miss Rosa Millford sees my commission, as an ollicer in his Majesty's service, she will no long. or refuse the hand of Nathan Palmer." The next morning he lefl the farther British outposts at Kingsbride, on horse. back, where General Tryon had ac. companied him, to pursue his experli. tion. It was a beautiful morning, and he looked forward with all the unticipa. Lions of pleasure, and hope gleamed warmly in his breast. lie passed the neutral ground without molestation, and advanced into what was considered the A merican districts without being troub. led by any of the occasional travellers on the road, although every one was armed and carried a musket. Now and then lie met an American yeoman or farmer with whom he was acquaint. ed, that -knew not of his defection for he was born in that section of the coun. try, and residents within a wide circle were then considered as neighbors. Late in the afternoon he cain within sight of the regular American outposts, when he turned off the main road by a nar row one that led to a mill and dwelling on the banks of a small but rapid stream. Let us for a moment look into the dwelling and notice it inmates. One was a girl of about eighteen, and a fine rustic beauty. engaged in some trifling housework, but mainly listening to the conversation of a lively.looking, brown. .'p 'o e -ivounr ru In .4;hlf , IVI aM ine ,tun , assh ad #d3i ill fondes. 'hes :wo were omia Milfbrd, =the miller's daughter, and William 'ownley, a neighboring farmer's son, an ensign in the Ameri can army lying near. "Who is that, William, coming tow ards the mill on horseback?" "As I live," said the young man, "it is your old spark, that sly rascal, Na. than Palmer, the Dominie's nephew, who despises him and cast him off. The rogue, I heard in a private letter this morning, that he had enlisted in the re fugees corps. If I knew certain lie would swing for it. Depend upon it, Rosa, he is here for no umd purpose.' "Do not be seen, Willian. Leave me to manage him." The young man left by a back door. not out of hearing, as the tory lieute. nant and sy entered by the front. He advanced with a holI step. "tosa, I have but little time to spare, and want your answer at once. Read that." He took the commission from the lining of his hat, and placed it before her. "Some difrerence between holding a commission i King George's ser. vice, aid being a ruged continental!'' "Nathan Palmer," said ltosa, stern. ly, '1 always dahsiked you--now I HATE you," and she han:dcd hini his com. mission. "[)o you refuse to be my wvife now?" "Your w'ife!'' Leave the house, or I shall betempted to loose the dog at the mill upona you.'" "Good bye, Ni iss Rosa," lhe said, grindirag his teeth in anger. "Look to your father's mailil-your house-you r self.

"What, you hey nevp . seen a live Grizzly?' exclaimed :n old Oregon gold digger, with whom we were engaged in a "bar" conversation one evening on Jamestown bar. "Never,' said i, In all seriousness, "it has never been my good fortune to en. counter one of the beautiful varments.' "Well hoss, when, you do, perhaps it won't be the pleasantest minnit you've ever hed, for thar aint no varmint in these hills, nor any whar else i've bon, that kin kick wuss, either rotind or side. ways, than a fully grown grizzly. "But you can easily get out of the way of a clumsy animal like that,' said I provoking the old digger into a yarn of his experience in regard to Grizzlys. "Well, when you kin got out of thur way, little fellar, I gives you my ad. vice to get out quicker, for tho' they aint built ran beautiful for runnin', they lope awful smart when thur arter a humin' critter. I was desperate glad to get away from one myself once.' I had provoked him to the edge of a bar story, and knowing from his manner, that his relation of such an occurrence as getting away from 'Grizzly would be interesting, I tempted him on. "Where did you say you fell in with him?' inquired I. "I didn't say I fell in with him any. whar,' answered he; "cuss the varmint, he fell in with me, and I'd a leetle ruth. or hev fell-in with the old Nick jest at that minit.

Many an infairnal scrape that.mule has taken mo into afore, but this was rather the tightest place shto ever did git me into. I hadn't a weepun about me, 'cept one of those mean, one-barreled auction pistols; and that hadn't a consarned mite of a load in, and 1 hadn't nuthing to load it with, and no time to put it in, of I had; and of it had been loaded, it wou'dn't hey been worth a cuss.

Beaver island, which is the largest of a collection or group of that name, lies in Lake Michigan, about twenty-five miles above the Straits of Mackinac. It con tains about twenty-eight thousand acres of land, (a large portion of which is still in the hands of Government,) and forms one organic township. There is, upon this island, a population of about five hundred, the larger proportion of which are Mor mons. Those not professing this belief, are styled Gentiles. A bitter fight has sprung up between the aMormons and Gentiles, and the same state of hostility which marked the course of this sect in Illinois and Missouri, toward,. other sects, and vice versa, exists at this -place. It is doubtless true that the Mormons, a&a sect, have suffered wrongs and perse. citlhns at the hands of individuals and whole communities, through the influence to some extent, of prejudice, and, to a cer tain'degree, through their own misconduct. This persecution has not been blessed vitli -bnign results upon the temper and character of the sect nerally; but has re ulted in making its leaders, and some .6 its tmiembers, vindictive, tyrannical and. dishonest: .The leaders of the Mormon colony on Bever Island, are uuprmcipled and worth Ies- pen, add the chief, or "King," as he i~ styled -.- nn by the name of Strang Ott t Pr a t and, blackgrard. dian, half-breeds, fihe r.n, id other inhabitants front the surrounding Islands, were to make a de cent upon the Mormons, and drive them of '.~ TIe Mformonis, conse quently organized themselves, fortified their "Tabernacle," or Church, planted ordnance in front of it and blazed a bold defiance at the world in general. No at. tack took place; but the rumor was sufici. cot to furnish Strang with an available ar-p gunent in favor of a "stronger Govern ment," which argument he immediately ap. plied, and procured hinmself to be pro claimed "King" for his natural life, and G. J. Adams, (an ex-theatrical performer,) Viceroy, in case of his death, until the succession should be tilled. Tho sequel has shown that "Upon his hoad, they placed a fruitless crown, And put a barren sceptre in bla graup;" for his short reign has been marked by turmoil and trouble. His Viceroy, Adams, has left him in disgust, and, taking with. him a large number of subjects has retired to the island of Mackinac, where he is en. gaged in pl.,ying sham "Kings" and "Vic eroys," in the hlt over J. P. King's store, to a rery select audience. Some of those who ("llowed Adams to Mackinac, have again left, as all faithful subjects were for. bid from harbor.ng them. Mrs. Adams, the wife of the Viceroy, remains upon the island; and it is supposed that it was in consequence of certain infamous proposi tions miado toward her by Strang, that his Majesty was arrested, and thrown into jail, at Mackinac, on a charge of bigamy; from whence he was liberated, in order to enable him to return to his "Kingdom," and exer cise "the glorious privilege of a freeman," by making his subjects vote the Losco-Fo co ticket, under pain of death, and wvithmout distinmct ion of age, sex or race.

M. aisson who had his hands covered with blood incautiously cleansed them with a towel which had been used to wipe the mouth, of the patient. He then had an ul ceration upon one of his fingers, yet thought it sufficeent to wipe ofl the saliva that adhered, with a little water. The ninth day, after being in his cabriolet, he was suddenly seized with a pain in his throat and one still greater in his eyes. The saliva was constinunlly pouring into his mouth; the impression of a current of air, the sight of brill'ant bodies, gave hin a painful sensation; his body appeared to hiin so light that he felt as though he could leap to a prodigious height. He experi:n ced, he said, a Wish to runf and oite, not men but animals and inanimate bodies. Finally he drank with difficulty, and the sight of water was still uore distressing to him than the pain in the throat. These symptoms recurred every five minutes, and it appeared to him as though the pain cotn menced in'the affected finger and extended thence to the shoulder. From the whole of the symptoms, he judged himself afflicted with hydrophohha, and resolved to terminatc his life by stifing himself in a vapor bath.~ Having entered wine for this purpose, he caused the heat to be raised to 170 derrees, 0 minutes Fa renheit,.when he wras equally .surpried and delighted to find himself .free1,of all complaint.'"eHe left the bathiiig-room well, dined heartily, and drank orp thatn usual.

The made of treatment he recommends Is, that the person hit should take a certain -nui bero vapor baths, (commonly called Russi ans,) and should induce every night a ivio lent perspiration, by wrapping himself. in flannels, and covering himself with a feath er bed; the perspiration is favored by drink tag freely of a warm decoction of sarsapa rill. He declares, so convincd is he of the efficacy of his mode of treatment, that he will suffer himself to be inoculated with the disease. As a proof of the utility of copious and continual perspiration, he re lates the following anecdote: A relative of the musician Gretry was bitten ; by a .mad dog, at the same time with many oth er persons, who all died of hydrophoia. For his part, feeling the first symptoms of the disease, he took to dancing night . and day, saying that le wished to die gaily. ie recovered. M. Buisson also cites the old storiea of dancing being a remedy or the bite of a tarantula; and draws attention to the fact that the animals in which this madness is most frequently found to level ope itself spontaneously are dogs, wolves and foxes, which never-perspire. TmICKERY AND THE TARIFF.-A few weeks since the cotton lords at Fall River, .lassachusetts, combined together to turn the screw a littie tighter, by reducing the wages of the operatives. Many of the workmen and women opposed this reduc tion of their wages and refused to work. By the last accounts we perceive that capi tal has conqluered labor, and thtat those whco turned out have been compelled to resutme their work at the reduced~ prices, and the owners are chuckling that "their factories are in operation again." .This is one of the mnean devices resortcd of to swind.e the worknan. The maiu tacturera raise a concerted cry about low duties, and foreign competition, blamne the Government for not protecting them, and then suddenly step, throwing their opera tives out of employmnent. These pudor pophe neyer received more than enough to keep Boul anboyt thr they work virtually for badndIgmng; choy seldam or never accumnume; hey-are, in fact, ina. state of quasi-slavery, and whetn out of em. ploymnent, of absolute suffrerm. Whmen the manufacturer has reduced theem to the starving point, he says: "I symipathisee with you. We will put our looms in operation again, biut I canunot afford to pay the former wages; the rate must be reduced." WVhat can the operatives say? They leave no roof oiver their heads nut the cot tages attached to the mill, where they have noe right to remain but as laborers; they have no money to remove elsewhere; there are no public lands to settle upon rent-free, they can get no emnployet at aijothor amill without credentials from their present em ployer; they see their wives dejected; their children su ffering for bread, and are forced to accept the reduced wages proposed to thteem. Antd thent the mill drives on again -merrily sing the spindles-fast flies the snowy limnt-bale after bale of "Lowels" is shipped away-.the manufacturer grows rich anud richer every day, upon the tears and wretchedness and wearing labor of hits white fellow citizen, a free man like hitie self, cast in as tine a mould, with a nobler heart, but cursed with poverty and thus compelled to ruh--.O ourr.
