The White Woman.
By request we publish the following ex
tract from an account of a Mission among
the Senecas and Mnnsees, performed in 1820
by th*. Rev. Timothy Alden, President of
Alleghany College, addressed to' the Rev.
Abiel Holmes, D. D., of Massachusetts, Secra
tary of the Society for propogating the Gos
pel among the Indians and others of North
America. We learn that «the white wo
man” has many relations in this county, and
we publish this as a sketch of a scene, many
the like of which have occured in this coun
try since its first settlement, but without
calculating much on its grateful effect
upon the relations of the unfortunate fe
male :
On Friday the 15th of September, we
called upon Mary Jamieson, at Ganhdaou,
known far and near by the name of White
Woman. She lives in a comfortable Indian
style, on one of the fertile bottoms of the
Genessce, flanked by high, abrupt, and ro
mantic banks. Her habitaiion is near the
place where, about three years ago, fifteen
acres of land slid, in the night, from the
side of a lofty and steep hill, with a fright
ful noise, carrying trees and rocks into the
bed of the river, to the amazing terror of the
few aboriginal families in the vicinity. I
could have no opportunity to collect an as
sembly at Gaulidaou, : of which I had been
duly apprized; yet ifc-eeemed a duty to trav
el six miles out of our course to have a*, in
terview with the aged white woman. I
foumhjicr able to converse intelligibly in
English, but showing, at first, that reserve
: which is a common trait in the character of
the Senecas. She, however, at length be
came agreeably communicative, and gave a
history of her life, which is so interesting,
that I shall be excused in stating a few of
its prominent incidents. I am more inclined
to do this, thinking that this statement may
reach some of her relatives, who have prob
ably no knowledge of her past distressing
trials, nor even of her existence.
She was born at Marsh Greek, below Con-
negocheague, in Pennsylvania. Her parents
were Thomas Jamieson and Jane, original
ly Irvine, and were from Ireland, but of
Scottish descent. At the age of thirteen
years, a few weeks after ~the evacuation of
Fort Du Qnesne, in 1758, she with her pa
rents, a sister, and two brothers, was taken
by the Indians, and hurried into the wilder
ness. On the third day of their captivity,
the Pdif"* discovered by their scouting par-
tie^ many white people-were in pursuit
offlNK otherwise all their lives would have
been spared.
These merciless savages, to facilitate their
escape, killed the father, mother, sister, and
two brothers, but suffered Mary to live, and
travelled to the westward, taking her -with
them, at & certain place on the Ohio, proba
bly near the Little Beaver Greek, where
they continued some time, and went to a
Shawnee town far below. Here she lived
many years, married an Indian, and had
several children. Once she attempted to de
sert the place and make her eecape to the
white people, and had proceeded through-tie
pathless woods many miles, when the fond
yearnings iff a mother induced her to return
to her children, whom she
felt a disposition to leave.
Mary had an. uncle, John Jamieson, who
was killed at the time of Brpddock’s defeat.
She had two brothers, John and Thomas,

passed along the street, it occurred to me
that I might as well have a beard of a week's
growth reaped, before I presented myself at
the counting room. I stepped into a bar
ber's shop and told the barber to proceed.
He was a bright mulatto, a good-looking
young fellow, not more than two and twenty
years of age, it appeared. His eyes were
large, black and unusually lustrous. His
manner at first was quiet and respectful.
I thought he was a long while lathering my
face, and I told him he must hare bought
his soap at wholesale price. Laughing, he
replied that mine was a long beard, and that
he knew what he was about.
i. Are you the boss here, my man?” I
asked.
« Yes,’' he answered, “ my master set me
np, and I pay him twenty dollars a month
for my time.”
«That is a good interest on the capital
invested,” I remarked: « can yon pay your
rest and live on the balance of you sav

« Oh, yes! and lay up something besides.
Sometimes I receive thirty bits a day.”
« Then I suppose you will buy your free
dom one of these days.”
««As for that,” he replied, I care but little.
I have all the liberty I want and enjoy my
self as I go along”
By this time he had laid down the brush,
and commenced running his razor over the
strop, looking at the blade every time he
drew it across the leather. His hand trem
bled a little, and his eyes absolutely, burned
like coals of fire. I did not feel uneasy, but
I could not avoid watching him olosely.
At laM he commenced shaving me. My

my eyes fixed directly on his own. Why I

upon you! Greece, whom the Goth, nor
Turk, nor time hath spared not, has flung
the crescent from her Acropolis, has crown

never die; that not for an idle pageant has
the blood of her heroes flown ; that not to

upon you! Holland, with the ocean as her

practiced with success. In an evil hour for
his private fortune, he was drawn into poli
tics. He was elected to tho*State Legisla
ture, to Congress, Judge of the Circuit Court,
Governor of his State, to Congress again
and again, but he never forgot that he was
the squatter’s son. He stands before you to
day the humble advocate of the squatter's
rights.”
Saving Manure.
The Michigan Farmer gives the practice of
a Scotch farmer* in the saving and manage
ment of his manure, which we cannot but-
regard as eminently economical of its fer
tilizing qualities, and worthy of general a-
doption except in the depth of winter, when
it may be delayed. To prevent dissipation
by evaporation and washing, he draws it a-
way as fast as it is thrown from the stable,
piles it up in some convenient place on the
farm, first placing a layer of the fresh ma
nure, to a depth of 8 or 10. inches, then a
layer of common soil about four inches thick,
which presses the course down to about the
same tlrickness, then another layer of ma
nure, which in like manner is followed by
sponge;
Brandy eats holes into it that I can put my
fingers in.”
Munroe and Francis, printers and pub
lishers is the oldest firm In Boston. It was
formed in 1800. These two gentlman—one
of seventy years of age and the other seven
ty two—have lately published a volume of
upward of three hundred pages, the types
lor which were all set with their own hands.
