POETKY A • <D MISCELLANY.
HOME OF MY BOYHOOD.
The home of my boyhood !
Thy name, oh, how dear.
It brings a sweet sadness,
A smile and a tear ;
And thoughts of thee ever
With memory’s tide
Some brightly, as wave-like
They fast by me glide.
The hours of my boyhood
Have faded away,
Like stars when they vanish
At breaking of day !
Those moments so tranquil
Forever are fled;
And loved ones are sleeping
Alas, with the dead!
The boars of my boyhood
Are vanished away;
They glittered as dew-drops,
As brief were their stay.
I think of the village,
The church and the stream,
And faces flic by me
Like shapes in a dream.
THE OLD FARM HOUSE.
BY MAR? A. LAWSON.
4 love these grey and moss-grown walls,
This ivied porch, this trellis’d vine,
The lattice with its narrow pane,
A relicof the olden time ;
The willow with its waving leaves,
Thro’ which the low winds murmuring glide,
The gurglmg ripple of the stream,
That whispers softly at its side.
The spring house in its shady nook,
Like lady’s bower shadowed o’er
With clustering trees and creeping plants,
That cling around the rustic door—
The rough hewn steps, that lend their aid,
To reach the shady, cool recess.
Where humble duty spreads a scene
That hourly comfort seems to bless.
Upland and meadow lies around,
Fair smiling in the sun’s last beam ;
Beneath yon solitary tree
The lazy cattle idly
After the reaper’s stroke descends;
While faintly on the listening ear
The teamster’s careless whistle floats,
Or distant song or call I hear.
And leaning on a broken stile,
With woods behind and fields before,
I watch the bee who homeward wends
With laden wing—bis labors o’er ;
The happy birds are warbling round
Or nestling in the rustling trees,
’Mi l which the blue sky glimmers down,
When parted by the passing breeze.
And slowly winding up the road,
The wain has reached the old barn floorj
Where plenty’s hand b»s firmly heaped
The golden grain in richest store,
Thia ’mid the dream land of my thought
With smilug lip I own is real,
Yet fancy’s fairest virions blend
With all 1 see and all I feel.
Then tell me not of worldly pride
And wild ambition’s hopes of fame,
Or brilliant halls of wealth and pride,
Where genius sighs to win a name ;
Give me this farm-house quaint and old,
These fields of grain, the birds and flowers,
With calm contentment, peace and health,
And memories of my earlier hours.
Kennedy’s Life of Wirt*
Wo copy from the “ Literary World,” the
following extract from Mr. Kennedy's forth
coming biography of William Wirt, shortly to
be issued by Lea & Blanchard, Philadelphia
As we understand that all of Mr. Wirt’s papers
have been submitted to Mr. Kennedy, we are
led to expect much new and interesting mat
ter, with many original letters in Mr Wirt’s
lively and agreeable style. The one which we
present to our readers describes vividly some
ofthe pains and the ennui of authorship expe
rienced during the preparation of the “ Life of
Patrick Henry.”
Perplexities of a Biographer.— At this time
the biography of Henry wa« resumed with a
stout resolve to bring it to a conclusion. We
have abundant evidence that this had already
grown to be a most irksome labor.
The following letter to Carr playfully pre
sents the difficulties of this undertaking, and
shows how reluctantly Wirt struggled with his
task. It contains also an allusion to Dabney
Carr, the father of his friend and the compat
riot of Henry—a gentleman most favorably
known in the short legislative career to which
we have heretofore adverted, and whose early
death had blighted the promise of a fair re
nown.
Mr. James Webster, of Philadelphia, to
whom also this letter has a reference, was al
ready engaged as the publisher of the forthcom
ing volume, and had made some announce
ments of it to the public, which, it will be seen,
had served to augment the author’s disrelish of
his enterprise:
William Wirt to Judge Carr.
Richmond. August 20, 1815.
My . ar Friend; • ♦ * Now for Patrick
Henry. I have delved on to my tne hundred and
seventh page—up-hill all the way and heavy work.
1 promise you ; and a heavy and unleavened lump I
fear me, it will be, work it as I may. I can tell you,
sir, that it is much the most oppressive literary enter-
Erise that ever I embarked in, and I be>in to appre
end that 1 shall never debark from it without “ rat
tling ropes and rending sails.” I write in a storm,
and a worse tempest, I tear, will follow its publica
tion. Let me give you some idea of my difficulties.
Imprimis, then; I always thought that Bozzy ranted
in complaining so heavily of the infinite difficulty and
trouble which he had to encounter in firing accurate
ly the dates of tri vial facts; but now 1 know by wuful
experience that Bozzy was right ; and, in addition to
the dates, I have the facts themselves to collect. I
thought I had them all ready cut and dry, and sal
down with all my statements of correspondents spread
out before me. a pile of old jouruah on my right ami
another of old newspapers on my loft, thinking that
1 hail nothing else iodo but, as Lingo says, “ to sad
dle Pegasus and ride up Parnassus.” Such short
sightedness is there in “ all the schemes o’ mice and
men for I found, at every turn of Henry’s life, that
I had to stop and let fly a volley of letters over the
State, in all directions, to collect dates and explana
tions, and cry Co reconcile cnntradiclions. Mean
time, until they arrived, •• I kept sowing on.”
In the next place, this same business of stating facts
with rigid precision, notone jot more or less than
truth—what the deuce has a lawyer to do wiih truth?
To tell yon one truth, however, 1 find that it is en
tirely a new business to me, and 1 utn proport innately
awkward at it; for, after I have gotten the facts ac
curately, they are then tn be narrated happily, and
the style of narrative, fettered by a scrupulous regard
to real facts, is mine the most difficult in the world.
It is like attempting to run tied up in a bag. My
pen wants perpetually to career and frolic it away.
But it must not be. 1 must move like Sterne’s mule
over the plains of Languedoc, “as >low as foot can
fall,” ami that, leu, without one vintage frolic with
Nanette on the green, or even the relief of a mulberry
tree to stop and lake a pinch of snuff at. I was very
sensible, when I began Chat I was not in the narra
tive gait. I tried it over and over again, almost as
often as Gibbon did to hit the key-note, and without
bis success. I determined, therefore, to move for
ward, in hopes that tny palfrey would get broke by
degrees, and learn by-and-by to obey the slightest
touch of the snaffle; but I am now, as 1 said, in my
hundred nnd seventh page, which, by an accurate
computation on the principles of Crocker, taking
twenty-four sheets to quire and four pages to each
sheet, you will find to exceed a quire by eleven, and
yetam I as far toseek aw ever for the lightsome, lucid,
simple graces of narrative. You may think this as
fee tat ion, if you please, or you may think it jest; but
tha dying confession of a felon under the gallows (no
disparagement to him I) is not more true nor much
more mortifying.
Terfw: The incidents of Mr. Henry’s life are ex
tremely monotonous. It is all speaking, speaking,
vpeak ng. ’Tis true he could talk: “Gods! how
be could talk !” but there is no acting “the while.”
From the bar to the Legislature, and from the Legis
latuir to the bar. his peregrinations resembled a good
deal those of some<Mie, I forget whom—perhaps some
of our friend Tri<t ram’s character, “from the kitchen
to the parlor, aud from the parlor to the kitchen.”
And then, to make the mutter worse, from 1763 to
1789, covering all the bloom and pride of his li’e. not
one of bis speeches fives in print, writing, or memory.
All that is told me is, that, on such and such an occa
sion, he made a distinguished speech. Now to keep
saying this over, and over, and over again, without
Lsiog able to give any account of what the speech
was—why, sir, what is it but a vast, open, sunburnt
field, without one spot of shade or verdure ? My soul
ia weary of it, aud the days have come in which I
can say that 1 have no pleasure in them. I have
sometimes a notion of trying i tie plan of Bott a, who
has written an account of the American war, and
made speeches himself for his prominent characters,
imitating, in this, the liistorians of Greece ami Rome ;
bull think with Polybius, that this is nukii g too
free with the sanctity of history. Resides, Henry’s I
ekqueiv e was all *o completely rui generis as to be
inimii.tble by any other; and, to make my chance cf
imitating him still worse, I never saw or heard him.
Even the speeches published in the debates of the
Virginia Convention are affirmed by all my corres
pondents rot to be his, but to foil far abort of his
strength aud beauty. Yet, in spite of all this imino
tony and destitution of materials, we have a fellow
cowing out in the Anatectic-Magazine, or the Balti
tootFe Ccmmervial Advertiser, I ..»rgrt which—for both
have been at it—exciting the public expectation on
this very ground, among others, of the copiousness
and variety of the materials within my reach. Those
puffs mean me well, but 1 could wish them a httle
more judgment.
Again 5 there are some ugly traits in H.’s charac

Which depend on compoaithHi ami detail, in abort,
it ia verily as bopcte.-a a subject as man could well
desire. 1 have dug around it, and applied all the
plaeter of Paris that I could command; but the fig
tree is still barren, and every bud upon it indicates
death instead of fife. “Then, surely you mean to
give hup?” Q n contrary* 1 assure you, sir. 1

A Scrap of History.
A correspondent of the AT. O Picayune writ- i
ing from the White Mountains of New Hamp
shire, furnishes the fofiowingsketch of a bloody
battle with the Indian* in 1725:
There are few pleasanter rides in New Eng
land or elsewhere, than from Boston to the
mountains, by the way of Concord, Winnip
seogee Lake and Conway. It is diversified by
cars, steamer and stage coach. The steamer
runs over the Lake Winnipseogeo, one of the
most quietly beautiful of the lakes of the North.
It has not, it is true, the picturesque beauty of
Lake George, nor the abrupt shores or bold
jutting promontories of some other lakes Its
distinguishing feature is what the painters call
repose. Its hundreds of islands lie upon the
bosom of its waters as in quiet sleep. But
there is nothing lethargic in the scene. It is
life, but life rather of sensation than action
The gentle, undulating banks of the lake, its
borders of beautiful though diminutive trees,
the dimples upon the lace of the waters, made
by the continual splashing of the countless fin
ny tribe, and the mirrored heavens gave to the
Indian the idea of its name—Winnipseogee—
“ the smile of the Great Spirit.”
It is not by the names of things alone trans
mitted to our day by the Indian that he is re
membered. Tradition keeps alive his prowess
and the fear it inspired—and lends to many a
place otherwise deficient in interest a claim
far heyond (he mere beauty of scenery. In
no State of New England more than in New
Hampshire has history so much ofthe romantic
to record. The Iridian was to our forefathers
what the Gael was to the Saxon—and it needs
but another Sir Walter Scott to make his story
a-interesting as that of the Scotch Highlander.
Every early town or settlement was the scene
of some foray or “creagh”—each small stream
has its certain and distinguishing story. You
pass nowhere in earlier New Hampshire but
over consecrated ground, or in the vicinity of
a memorable story.
At Conway I turned from my direct route
to the mountains to view the scene and gather
the details of “ Loveweli’s fight.” Those de
tails are to this day fresh in the memory of all
the dwellers round about the place, though gen
eralions have passed away since. I gleaned
my story from the driver of the stage coach.
I mounted the box with him on his start and re
mained with him to the termination of his jour
ney ; and a more intelligent class of men than
the stage-drivers of New England is to be en
countered nowhere
Capt. John Lovewell abided in Dunstable,
New Hampshire. He was, perhaps, the best
partisan soldier of the day, and understood the
Indian almost as well as if he had been born of
them. His military education he obtained from
his father. Ensign Zacheus Lovewell, who had
been in Cromwell’s famous regiment of“ Iron
sides ;” half-fanatics, half rogues, but all-sol
diers. It was they that turned the tide of bat
tle at Marston-Moor and bore Cromwell on to
power. After the restoration, Ensign Love
well with his family migrated to America and
established his household gods in New Hamp
shire. He brought up his son John to fight the
•• malignants”—to expect no quarter from
them, and to give none.
John was an apt pupil, and gained his cap
taincy by many a hard and remorseless contest
with the Aborigines. They feared him as the
Covenanters did Claverhouse.and equally from
the conviction that no bullet could reach his
life. From the character of his last fight, how
ever, it is not unreasonable to suppose that he
despised too much the enemy he had so often
encountered and so easily repulsed. His pre
vious exploits, in all of which he had proved
successful, gained him no less booty than glory.
He had received one hundred pounds from the
Government for every Indian scalp he brought
in—our ancestors embracing the same means
in those days to exterminate the savages we in
cities now do to get rid of our dogs—and had
amassed in rich “speculation” no little fortune.
To capture Piqwocket—one of the largest In
dian settlements in the Eastern country —and
thus to be enabled to retire upon a liberal com
petency, was an ambition not unlike such as
has agitated many who have lived since his day.
lie might, 100, have been desirous of political
distinction, and to kill Indians then was no less
meritorious in a political point of view than to
kill Mexicans since.
Whatever he might have proposed as the
consequence of a successful expedition, it is
certain that he left Dunstable sometime in
April, 1725, with thirty four others—most of
them expert in hunting the Indian. It was three
weeks afterwards, on the Bth of May, in the
earliest morning, that he approached Piqwock
et, now called Fryeburg, and situated on the
Saco river, at that time fifty miles or more from
any white settlement.
It is said that some of his men remonstrated
with him on the carelessness of his approach—
a remonstrance that produced some effect, and
induced b in to be more wary, accompanied
as it was by the appearance ofan Indian, who
was discovered all alone upon a neck of land
that ran into the Saco Pond. Lovewell took
him for a scout or picipiet of the enemy, and
ordered his men quietly to surround him. —
They approached him stealthily, and were not
discovered till within gun shot. The Indian
showed no sign of fear, but, holding his gun in
readiness, coully awaited their fire. They fired
first, without wounding him seriously. He
then returned the fire from a double barrel, and
at the second discharge wounded Capt. Love
well He had recognised and aimed at him.
It is not probable that he knew ofthe approach
ofthe English; but had come out on a hunting
expedition, for after he was killed two ducks
were found upon him, and nothing but beaver
shot in hU pocket.
On proceeding to surround this Indian Capt.
Lovewell had commanded his men to leave
their packs, containing their provisions, &c ,
behind them, in order that they might move
with more rapidity, and be better prepared for
a sudden attack. Il was an unfortunate pre
caution ; for a party of Indians, who had been
lying in ambush, came up to the place where
tne packs were deposited, and by counting
them ascertained the numberof men they were
to light. Finding themselves superior fur in
numbers, they determined thereupon to cutoff
Lovewell’s force as it returned from the nar
row strip of land upon which it had passed to
kill the Indian hunter.
When Captain Love welt had come back to
the place where the packs had been left and
found them gone, he understood full well that
the Indiana were near him, and took all possi
ble precautions against surprise. He ordered
his men to be on the alert, and to march for
ward as rapidly as possible to prevent them
selves from being hemmed in the narrow place
where they then stood. They had proceeded
not more than a few steps before one of the
soldiers descried an Indian, and shouted to his
comrades, whereupon the ambushed warriors
rushed out upon them yelling the war-whoop
Though more than treble in number and well
armed, they did not terrify Loveweli’s brave
companions, who, returning aloud hurrah to
their yell, advanced upon them. The parties
approached very near each other, and then dis
charged simultaneous vollies. /\ large num
ber ol Indians and but few English fell at the
first fire. The Indians did not understand the
use of fire arms so well as the English, while
the latter took good aim before they fired—a
practice that has availed their descendants on
many a bloodier day since.
Capt Love well, shouting to his men, “Fight
on, my brave fellows; you see they fall like
rain.” advanced at their head to a closer en
counter with the Indians Ordering them to
reserve their fire till he gave the word, lie gut
within almost double ihe length of their gnus
before he commanded them to tire. They then
ii ted and killed nine, besides wounding severa
more. But the odds were too great for an open
fight, and Lovewell fell that unless he retreated
and interposed some defence between his force
and the Indians, a total rout, and perhaps ex
termination would ensue Twelve of his
men had fallen, and among them his lieutenant,
Kobins, as brave a soldier as ever buckled
sword. After he was mortally wounded, he
desired to have two guns loaded and left by
his side : “ The Indians,” he said, “ will come
in the morning to scalp me. and I cannot die
happy unless lean kill one more of them.”
Lovewvll therefore ordered his men to re
treat to the pond, which (hey did in good order,
keeping their ranks and turning every once in
a w hile to fire upon the pursuing Indians. But
before the shore ofthe pond could be reached,
the brave captain himself fell mortally wound
ed. He had been always m the thickest of the
fight, advancing before his men, and protecting
their retreat, and had received, during the bat
tle, four bullets, the wounds being ah iu front,
as became a son of Cromwell’s soldier. If he
had drawn on the fight somewhat rashly, he
bore it in a gallant and soldier-hke manner, aud
.vith his death crowned the service of a patri
otic life. As a successful captain tn Indian
wars, he has left a name inferior perhaps alone
to that of Church, the conqueror of King
Philip.
An incident occurred during the rage of the
fight that carries one back to the old chivalric
times. Paugus, the leader of the Indian par
ty, and a chief of note among the people, and
Ensign Seth Wyman, met together in a hand
to-hand encounter. Pauguswasa man of great
personal prowess, of a commanding presence
aud athletic mould. He was distinguished
among his band not only by his towering height,
but by a huge bear skin which he wore on that
day. The bear he boasted to have killed by
strangling him with his own hands. -Many of
Loveweli’s men knew him personally, and few
cared to meet him. But Ensign Wyman felt
no fear but the fear of his »scape. He sought
him early in the action, aud for hours they com
batted together. But at times they would sus
pend all hostile action, and bold conversation
together like the heroes of Homer. Battle
among its evils generates an impatient, exas
perated thirst; and these warriors felt it in all
its intensity. During one of tne pauses of their
hard encounter, they agreed to resort together
to the pond, quench their thirst and wash out
their guns, which had become useless by such
frequent firing The single couibal of Morti
mer with Glendower. as described by Hotspur,
comes instantaneously to the mind:
“ When on the grade Severn’s sedgy tank,
In si »gle opporitiao, band to hand.
He did ccsifoend, the beat part ot an hour;
In exchanging bardwMmt with great Glen dower;
Three time# they breath’d, ami three times did they
drink,
Vpou agreement, of swift Severn’s fl sod.”
But the encounter between Paugusand Wy
man had a more fatal termination. During the I
armistice. Paugus proposed and Wyman as- I
seated, that the one who loaded his gun first, |
both commencing al the same lime, should have .
the first fire Wyman was the first ready, and !
shot Paugus dead. This was an episode in the i
main action of the drama, which proceeded |
wiiii continued and unabated energy, iiotwith- |
standing, to its catastrophe.
Wyman assumed the command after the
I deaths of the captain and lieutenant, effected a
i retreat in good order to a bank on the lake, |
, which he ust J as a partial breastwork for his I
. men. Here he made a stand, and repulsed j
(he enemy >n several desperate attacks. The ■

aua. Thu Indiana hndiug then that they could
make but little impression against the English, (
began to draw off their forces, and as soon as i
it was dark disappeared altogether. The Eng- ■
lish remained till midnight at their posts, ex
pecting a renewal of the fight—and then re
treated with more attention to rapidity than
discipline.
It was one of the bloodiest fights of the’ln
dian wars. Os the eighty Indians, who had
come into the battle in the morning, forty were
killed upon the field, and eighteen more died
soon after of the wounds they had received.
One-fourth of their original number alone re
turned safe to their home.
Sixteen only of the thirty-four English es
caped the slaughter of that day. The rest fell
in battle or perished in the wilderness in the
attempt to reach home. Among the killed
were, the captain, lieutenant, sergeant and
chaplain. The name of the latter was Frye,
of Andover, Mass. He graduated at Harvard
College, two years before, and had just taken
orders. It was then considered a meritorious
act to kill Indians—doing the Lord a service
arid pastors of the church often exchanged the
surplice for the regimental coat. Frye fell
about the middle of the afternoon, after having
done yeoman service in the fight; whatever
Indians he slew he took good care to scalp.
Fullam, the sergeant, lost his life early in the
action; seeing an Indian take aim at his cap
tain, he threw himself in advance, and cover
ing the body of his leader, received the fire of
the enemy, and was instantly killed. Seldom
were so many acts of individual heroism per
formed as on that day.
Solomon Keys, a private, received during the
battle three shots. The first disabled his left
arm, the second carried away a part of the
cheek ; the third struck him on the thigh, and
percipitaled him to the ground. Like With' r
ington at Chevy Chace, “he fought upon his
stumps’” He managed to place himself into
a sitting posture against a tree, and thus to load
and fire several times; till finding himself
growing faint with loss of blood, he crawled
along the shore of the pond, where he discov
ered an old canoe, into which he had strength
enough remaining to hoist himself, and put off
from the shore. He had no hope of life, but
sought to save his scalp from the Indians The
wind, however, that bore his canoe from land,
cooled his feverish limbs, and gradually brought
back his strength. He succeeded in reaching
a fort several miles distant, where his wounds
were attended to. and after some time healed.
He recovered as by a miracle.
Many a tradition of like character hangs a
round the spot of this celebrated fight, the re
lation of which would fill pages. Enough,
however, may have been narrated to denote
the vehemence of the contest and the carnage
of the combatants.
In this little band of thirty-four heroes there
was but one coward, and his name has been
lost from the shame his companions felt to pro
nounce it. One fled at the very beginning of
the fight, and, returning home, related the
slaughter of all his companions. His coward
ice and falsehood made him a shunned man
through life. Like the Spartan who alone of
three hundred survived the glorious fight at
Thermopylae, he was avoided and cursed.—
No one addressed or aided him; he lingered
through a miserable existence, and of his death
no one cared.
The gallant Seth Wayman for his conduct
on this day was commissioned as captain, and
presented with a silver-hilted sword, which is
now in the possession of his descendants. He
died, however, soon afterwards, in conse
quence of the wounds he had received and of
the fatigue and exposure to which he was sub
jected on his return home through a country
almost a wilderness It was a week after the
battle that he arrived at Dunstable.
This famous action, notwithstanding the
heavy loss sustained by it, produced fortunate
results. The Indians were never able after
wards to collect together any considerable bo
dy of men in those parts, and soon repeated
deeper into the wilderness. Their retreat
was immediately followed by the advance of
the white man. whose dwellings soon displac
ed the wigwam; for it may be said of the Yan
kee as it was said of the Roman—“ Wherever
he conquers he inhabits.”
Where Piqwacket stood butlillla more than
one hundred years ago there is now the flour
ishing village of Fryeburg, and cultivated
ti« Ids replace the hunting grounds of the In
dians. The change is most desirable indeed ;
but of the manner of it, perhaps, we need not
now speak at large.

The Adamses.—The Albany Express, in
noticing the recent illness of Mrs. John Quincy
Adams, says that her only surviving child is
Charles Francis Adams, of Boston ; and pro
ceeds to give the following interesting family
sketch:
The other male descendants of the elder
Adams, of the third generation, who bear his
name are the three sons of the late Thomas
Boylston Adams, a brother of John Quincy
Adams. They are Isaac Hull Adams, a civil
Engineer, John Q. Adams, and Joseph Har
rod Adams, both of the U. S. Navy. The el
dest son of Thomas B. Adams, was a highly
accomplished officer of the Army, who died in
Florida, during the Seminole war. He was a
graduate of West Point. Thomas B. Adams,
or the “Judge,” as he was always styled, was
the second son of John Adams. He was a
man of fine talens, and agreeble manners, and
convivial withal He had spent some years in
Europe in early life and accompanied the
King of Prussia as honorary aid-de-camp on
the disasterous field of Jena. His description
of that day of carnage was graphic and vivid
in the extreme. For many years was a
Justice of the Massachusetts Court of Sessions
but the dignity of the bench was regarded as
impaired by liis convivial habits, and the court
was abolished. The remainder of his days he
spent at Quincy, living for several years in the
house in which his illustrious father was born,
a very ordinary cottage painted red on the road
to Braintree. Alter his father became infirm,
he removed with his father to the well known
Adams Mansion. He was the perfect anti
podes of his brother John, and when the news
of the latter’s election to the Presidency was
brought out to Quincy by John Jerome, about
one o’clock on a cold March morning, the
Judge refused to leave his comfortable bed to
entertain the messenger and his friends, and
after muttering a few words about the “con
founded bother,” turned over and resumed
hisslumbers, while his accomplished wife was
doing the honors be10w.... Charles Adams,
the youngest son of John Adams, married a la
dy of New York and resided in that city until
his death, which occurred many years ago
He was a bon vivant and a man of pleasure.—
Charles Adams left two daughters, one of
whom was married to Alex. B. Johnson of U
tica, the other to a Mr. Clark of this State....
'['he only daughter of John Adams was a
highly accomplished woman, as her published
letters indicate. She was the wife of Col Wm.
Smith, of the Revolution, a distinguished citi
zen of the Slate. Their daughter, Mrs De
Wint of Fishkill, inherits no small share of the
talentsand virtues of her parents. Charles
Francis Adams, the only surviving son of J.
Q Adams, and the inheritor of his estate of half
a million, married the daughter of the late
Peter Chardon Brooks, who left the largest es
tate ever accumulated in New England ; in
which the share of Mr. Adams, in right of his
wife, cannot be less than another half million.
He is, therefore, one of the richest men in
Massachusetts. His talents are highly respec
table ; but in consequence of the coldness of
his habitual reserve, he is by no means popular.
He is now engaged in writing the life of his
grandfather, and in arranging his papers for
publication—a work which will be of inesti
mable value to all future historians of this conn
try. When this great work is completed, it is
highly probable that Mr. Adams will give to
the world the Life and Journals of John Quin
cy Adams, as an appropriate pendant to the
Life and Writings of John Adams The
public will then be put in possession of a com
pleteand most elaborate history of the foreign
and domestic affairs of this country, from the
time of the Stamp Act, up to the year 1848. by
two of the most distinguished actors therein
a period comprehending the anti revolutionary
and revolutionary troubles—the days of chaos
under the confederacy—the formation of the
constitution—the cabinet dissensions in which
Jefferson, Hamilton, Pickering, Wolcott and
Adams participated—the history of the war in
1812 and ofthe Hartford Convention ; and
lastly, the annals of the Jackson dynasty, the
right of petition, the annexation of Texas, and
the war with Mexico. A period in which were
enacted some of the most important events
related in the history of the world—the age of
Washington. Napoleon, Catham. Burke, Clive,
Nelson, Witherforce, Hamilton. Marshall,
Franklin, La Place, Lavoisier, Watt, Ark
wright, Scott, Byron, Goethe, Schiller and
Fulton.

Reuben Rich’s Patent Centre Vent
WATER WHEEL,
For Factories, Saw and Grist Mills, Cotton Gins,
and every other purpose to which, a Water Wheel
can be applied. (Made entirely of Iron, with Iron
Gates,) AGAINST TURBINE. HOTCHKISS
AND ALL OTHER WHEELS.
IWILD GIVE SSOO reward to any person who
will produce a patent WATER WHEEL that
will do as much business with the same quantity of
water under any given head, from three to thirty feet.
I will give SSOO to any person who will produce a
Breast Wheel under a head of eight feet or less, that
shall equal it in power and saving of water.
I will give the same amount to any one who will
produce an overshot or undershot, that will last with
my Wheel, and not cost more money sooner or later;
or
I will give the same reward to any man who will
produce anovershot, undershot, or Breast Wheel, that
will run as steady ns my Wheel; or,
I will give SSOO to any one who will produce a
Wheel of any sort or kind, patented or not, that will
combine, to the same extent, cheapness, durability,
power, speed or simplicity, so easily applied in all
situations, and so* universally applicable to ail pur
poses and every location.
Or, I will give SSOO to any one who will produces
Hotchkiss Wheel that does tint consume fifty percent
more water to do the same Sawing or Grinding.
Thia Wheel (one of the greatest inventions of the
age!) combine* every quality that is desired in a Wa
ter Wheel. It is adapted to every head and fall,
from two feet to any height,—is equal, in economy of
water, to anv Breast or Over shot Wheel, under a
high head of water, and superior under a low nr
medium head, —ia more durable, less likely to get
out of order, - and is infinitely cheaper. It is also
incomparably more steady in its motion, —sufficient-
ly so. indeed, as to require no Governor, even with
Lotton Factories making the finest fabrics!
It has many other advantages over the Breast and
Over shot Wheel. The first is in being so compact
that it can be applied where there is nnt room for
these Wheels, the largest size being but 5 feet in di
ameter. The second is, that being much quicker in
its motion, the intermediate gearing required in the
Over-shot to get up speed, is with this Wheel wholly
dispensed with. Third, that the higher the head, the
smaller the Wheel. Under a head of 35 feet a Wheel
16 inches diameter, venting 18 inches of water, is
equal to a power of 15 Horses.
It is superior to the Tub or Flutter Wheel, for it
does not r< quire more than one fourth to one third
the water, and is more durable, and not much if any
more expensive.
It is likewise superior to any of the Re-action
Wheels, now in use in the South, for it keeps in or
der a much greater length of time, and uses not more
than about one half the water!
It is superior to Wooden Wheels of all kinds; runs
under back water, and secures the entire head and
fall.
For Co ton Gins it is the only Wheel; with a small
quantity of water, and under any head, the Gin can
be driven. (It is well known that a Water Gin will
turn out better Cotton and more of it in a day.)
On tide water, these Wheels can be run 12 to 18
hours out of 24, and cost but little, compared with any
other.
In level countries they can be used where there is a
good supply of water, and a head of only 2 or 3 feet;
superceding the use of He sin, on account of their
c heapness.
The price of this Wheel, with right of use inclu
ded, for Saw and Grist Mill?, varies from $125 to
$250, according to height of Lead and work required
to be performed by them ; the lowest head requiring
the highest priced Wheel, and the highest head the
least price.
For Cotton Gina, and other light machinery, the
price varies from 75 t 05,25.
For Cutton Factories, Ac., no special data as to
price can ire given, until furnished with particulars
as to head, and power in each instance required.
With the Grist Mill Wheel is furnished an
Iron Ring and Cylinder, an Iron Shaft, Couplings
and Gudgeons, Iron Gate and appendages, (including
Rack Pinion, Ac.,) for operating same.
£3* With the Wheel f>r a Saw Mill is furnished
an Iron Shaft, Balance Crank and Wrist, with Iron
Gate and appendages!!
The Shafts for all are turned off at bearings, the
Wheels fitted and keyed on same, and then turned
off, rendering it perfectly true and accurate in its
revolutions, and in every particular a highly and
completely finished Wheel; and from its simplicity,
durability, and finish, (£3* together with what is
furnished in connection with the Wheel.) istbevery
cheapest Water Wheel ever offered to the Public !!
In a word, these Wheels challenge comparison,
under any named forfeiture, with any other Patent
Wheels in use, and claim as a motive power to be
entirely superior to any other motive power known.

Judge Rundall, 156 Henry-st., New York, having
used the Vegetable Extract successfully in his family,
highly recommends it to all persons who are afflicted
with Fite.
Mr. Stephen E. Pratt, comer ofSixth Avenue and
Twenty-sixth-st., New York, states that Mr. Chas.
H. Boughton, a member of his family, has been so
severely afflicted with Epileptic Fits for many years,
that he was obliged to relinquish his business. Hav
ing used Dr. Hart’s Vegetable Extract (says Mr.
Pratt) he was soon restored to perfect health, and left
this city for the State of Ohio to resume his business.
Rev. Mr. Smith, Rector of St. Peters Church, Spots
wood, New Jersey, who has been afflicted with Epi
leptic Fits for more than forty years, states that he
has used Dr. Hart’s Vegetable Extract and his health
has been so much improved that be hopes by Divine
blessing, to have no more Fits.
EPILEPTIC FITS.
Os twenty-seven years and six cured by
the use of this truly wonderful medicine.
Read the following remarkable case of the son ol
Wtn. Secore, Esq., ofPhiladelphia, afflicted with Epi
leptic Fits, twenty-seven years and six months. Af
ter travelling through England, Scotland, Germany
and France, consulting the most eminent physicians,
and expending for medicine, medical treatment and
advice three thousand dollars, returned with his son
to this country in November last, without receiving
any benefit whatever, and was cured by using Hart’s
Vegetable Extract:
j Mr. William Secore's Letter to Dr. Hart.]
1 have spent over three thousand dollars for medi
cine and medical attendance. 1 was advired to take
a tour to Europe with him, which 1 did. 1 first vis
ited England. I consulted the most eminent physi
cians there in respect to his case; they examined him
and prescribed accordingly. I remained there three
months without perceiving any change for the bel*er,
which cost me about two hundred and fifty dollars
pocketed by the physicians, and the most that 1 re
ceived was their opinion that my son’scase was hope
less and POSITIVELY INCURABLE. I according
ly left England, travelled through Scotland, Germany
and France, and returned home in the month of No
vember last, with my son as far from being cured as
when I left. I saw your advertisement in one ot the
New York papers, and concluded to try Hart's Vege
table Extract, seeing your statements and certificates
of so many cures, some of twenty and thirty years
standing, and I can assure you 1 am not sorry I did
so, as by the use of Hart’s Vegetable Extract alone he
was restored to PERFECT HEALTH. His reason,
which was s<» far gone as to unfit him for business,is en
tirely restored, with the, rospect now before him of life,
health and usefulness. He is now 28 years of age,
and 27 years 6 months of this ti ue has been afflicted
with this most dreadful of diseases, but thank God
I now enjoying good health.
Now, sir, faith without works I don’t believe in.—
To say I shall beever grateful to you is one thing, and
as I here enclose you one hundred dollars, I have no
doubt but you will think this another and quite a dif
ferent thing. The debt of gratitude I still owe you;
but please accept this amount as interest on the debt
in advance. Yours, very respectfully,
(Signed.) WILLIAM SECORE.
The time is not far distant when thousands whoare
now trembling under the hand of this dreaiful dis
ease, and fearing that every attack may prove fatal
will find permanent relief and be restored to new life,
by using this celebrated medicine.

DR. PETERS’ VEGETABLE ANTI
BILIOUS PILLS. — The only well establish
ed cure yet discovered for Bilious Fevers and Bile
in all its forma, Dyspepsia, Colic, Impurity of the
Blood, &.c.
Other medicines purify the blood already in circu
lation, leaving the fountain-head untouched; f*> that
the good effect cannot be lasting. But Or. Peters' 1
Pills produce perfect health and cleanliness in the
region of the chyle, of which the blood is made,
and hence the vital fluid is filtered —and flows in a
state of purity from its very source—which ensures a
<>ermanency of health. , . .
Dr. Peters 1 Pills stand alone as a positive substi
tute for Calomel and Blue Pills; for they act like
magic on *e Liver, and remove all superfluity of bile
with a certainty that is beyond question, and never
ends in disappointment. Indeed, whenever Calomel
has failed to dislodge the Bile, Peters’ Pills have at
once effected it. And hence—since their fame has
been established— Mercury has been but rarely re
sorted to for that purpose.
