A HEROINE OF '76.
In the year 177ti, a small palisude
fort was erected upon the site now occupied
by the city of Wheeling. Tinfort
was surrounded by the cabins ol
the settlers and was named 111 honor of
tho great Virgina orator and patriot,
Patrick Ilenry.
On tho morning of the lirst of September,
1777, a scout appeared in tinfort,
announcing the near approach ol
the dreaded Simon Oirtv with a large
band of savages. Having the night
before reeievod an intimation of danger
from an Indian raid, the families
itf f hit unt.t)i>i'? ihtitiiiv'iul tit t)n? liirt
The fort nt this time was hut lightly
garrisoned, n portion of its forces having
been sent to re-inforce posts that
were more exposed, they being in no
apprehension of danger from llritish
or Indian foes. It was in charge of
Colonel Shcnpurd.
The dwelling of Colonel I'.benezer
Zano stood about sixty yards distant
from the palisade, in this building
weie stored supplies of various kinds,
which it was very desirable to preserve,
and, the house occupying a favorable
position to aid in resisting the
attack, it was deeided to make the defence
from both points. In the dwelling,
when the attack was made, there
were but eight persons, four men and
four women, including the negro cook
and his wife.
The first attack was made upon a reconnoitoring
party under the command
of Captain Mason. The Indians
were ambushed a short distance from
the fort and fell upon the little band
without a moment's warning. More
than one-half of them perished. Captain
Ogle, with twelve men, hurried
out to the assistance of Mason,
and only four of his men ever returned.
The others were ruthlessly butchered
by bullets and tomahawk. The garrison
was now reduced to a mere handful
of determined defenders, mostly
young men. They numbered about
twolvo, with tho brave Colonel Shoppard.
Tho women and children were huddled
togother inside the picket?. overwhelniod
with grief and fear, for uli
hope for the safety of the fort now
seemed lost. At this critical moment
Simon Girty appeared with a white
Hag, and demanded the unconditional
surrender of the fort. Although the
besiegers outnumbered the hesieged
thirtyfold, the Indians numbering over
three hundred, the beleaguered garrison
resolved to resist, for they well
knew what their fate would be if they
fell into the bunds of the treaeln rous
fiend, Girty. So Colonel Sheppard
promptly told the scoundrel that tinfort
would never be surrended to him.
nor to any other man, while there was
a person left to defend it.
Girty became enraged, and ordered
an attaek. "Girty," says the historian
Lossing " was the oll'spring ?>f
crime. His father was a settler in
1'ensylvania, an outlaw and a sot, and
his mother was a disgrace to her sex."
Simon and his two brothers, when
youths, were captured by the Indians.
His brother James was adopted by ti;e
Delewares, and became the fiercest
savage of the tribe. Simon was adopted
by the Senceas, became a great
hunter, and finally a powerful leader
among the Indians, exercising his innate
wickedness to the fullest extent,
and declaring eternal enmity toward
his own race. For many years the
name of Simon Girty was a terror to
the settlers of the Northwest, lb- was

ger, excelling the savages in the
cruelty he 'nllicted upon those who
fell into his clutches. Mule :ui>l f. male,
old age and helpless infancy suffered
alike.
The besiegers for several hours 1; |
up an inetTectual lire against the fort,
and dwelling, from thccahlns in which
thoy wete sheltered. Whenever a
redskin allowed himself, the never
failing rille of the sharpshooter-, wen
miro to bring him down. Several
times the Indians advanced upon Ungate
of the palsade. booing to he sihie
to force it, hut each lime were compelled
to retreat under a calling tire.
The few men in the fort were- enabled
to keep up a constant liring. for th
women moulded th.e bullets and lead; d

tho attention of the negro cook. Sam,
was attracted by a small stream of
light that found its way through a cievico
in the kitchen wall from ti.e outsido.
An investigation revealed an Indian
with ~ 1 ight.cd brand, eiiueavoring
to set fire to the kitchen. Sam.
watching his chance, sent a bullet
through him.
Karly the following morning the Indians
renewed the attack with much
vigor. Having procured a hollow maple
log, they converted it into a cannon,
binding it uroumi solidly with
chains oht ai tied from tm- Ihhi-i - of
settlers. After piariny a heavy chari
of powder in it and lili im/a it to the
muzzle with cannon ball? captured ti.e

with shouts of exultation. v.:.:, ii
meant, "We've ?;ot you now." liny
touched it olT. To their utter amazement
and consternation, the 1??_r burst
into a thousand fragments, llyinir in
every direction, killing aim wounding
several of their own number. Dicing
all this time the rilleinen in itie fori
and dwelling were picking them o;> . !

the explosion had cleared away. ti.
ground was strewn with dead suvai/es
The disaster and disappoint meet
arising from it so exasperated <i Indians
that they madiy Ihfew tmuiselves
against tlie jjate. with lnavy
battering rams made of lo^rs, de:.

the din and confusion, the voiee of

hut he was nowhere to he. n .
hein^f shielded from the deady ri i- s
of the patriots in the elTort, who. I
well knew, would rejoiee to a -cot
at liiin. The eonstiint lire poured upon
the savages from the fort an <
dwelling forced them a^ain to r? tir<
At this juncture, it was discovered
that the supply of powder in the fort
was about exhausted. Kbene/or /..tin'

alert. Only one man could i>e ipa-'ee

the fort. Colonel Shepp.ir.i, not l>e i;o
willing to order any one to tile nitty,
asked for a volunteer, Kvery man
present eagerly olTered to underttii e
the ha'/.ardous duty, and while lb. \
were contending for the honor i' was
feared that before the ipie-tion w is
settled and the powder obtained the

The Hate was thrown upon. She sallied
forth and soon cleared the space i

Not one shot was tired. Such action t
on the port of the savages could not lie f
aeeounteit for, unless th-- movement t
was so >adden and rapid that they had i
not time to realize the situation ami t

other when one desires to make an application
of manure subsequent to
planting. If this is to be done it had
Potter lie done at the first working, because
less root-cutting ami injury w.ll
ensue then than at a later period. In
the abseuce of these considerations it
is better to cultivate crops from the
start with heel-scrapers, lh'giu very
early and repeat at very short intervals.
Again the weight of evidence is
against turning under pea-vinos in the
fall. Let them remain on the surface
until toward spring. In the matter of
hiring hands wc have, until recently,
advocated the payment of wages. Under
special conditions we still think it
the not plan. As, for instance, in the
neighiiorhood of villages and cities,
wUcre lunor is abundant ami tho place
of uui' dismissed is easily III It'll. lint
in the country at lur^c si well-regulated
share system is probably the htst.

shall direct the pitching of crops,
the cuitivation, and everything else
on the farm, ju.-t a- he would do if laborers
were hired for want's: o iy
j thsil in place of money the hands
I should receive such a share ??f the
crop.-, with forh itnres under certain
conditions the farmer would seen re
the co-operation of self-interest on the
part of the laborn* and the sharing by
the laborer of risk of seasons. K.litoi

The manner of tho " escape " and all
the circumstances seem to indicate
that it could not have been accomplished
as originally reported. Mr.
Kadc'oaugh's reason for making the
ullair public is that lie will soon pass
away and his belief that blaiue will
not be attached to the men who set
Morgan free.

'.'he following statement has been is
I su*hi i>y Hit* A merit an lii-mctallic
! League :
j "The money question is now indis|
putahly the dominant issue in tin.
I I nitial States am! will remain so until
settled rightly. Other questions, however
important. must wait for tliis
which, to u greater or less extent, involves
all others. The issue is between
the yoid standard, tfolil horn's
and hattlt curreney. on the one side,
and the hi-tnetal 1 ie standard, no hond?
and eajvern.neut eurroney on the
ot her.
"First: On this issue we declare
ourselves to he unalterably opposed
, tin- single oold standard iuui demand
j the immediate return to the eon-titn
tional standard of ^<dd and silver, hy
the restoration by tiiis government, in
I d? prudently of any foreiyu powers,
i of the unrestricted eoinupe of both silver
and jpdd into standard money, at
the ratio of Mi to 1, and upon terms ol
exactly equality, the silver coin to
bo a full loyal tender, equally with
tfold, for a'I debts ami dues, public and
private.
"Second: We bold that the power
to control and regulate paper currency
is inseparable from the power to coin
money : and hence that all curreney
intended to circulate a- money should
lie issued, and its volume controlled,
hv the ironeral 'government oidv ami

It is surprising that a crop so useful
and so easily made is confined to small
patches on the farm. Tho sandy
ridges are the best potato lands and
rainy days, too wet to work other
crops, is tho time to set them. This
of course should he considered in
