Many yean since, she saw a man Uonae, where he will be glad to entertain • «v«n, th. ftf tioliwa nuaesd 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, she had had greater advantages than the with tremendous violence in the mangled people among whom she had spent her life, neck. it must have been in her power to have offer- , On the instant Die man's eye caught mine, cd them very important instruction, as to the razor dropped from his hand, and he fell the duties we all owe to God and the Savior ' down in a fit.

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 ings r « 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.

Shame upon you! Holland, with the ocean as her toe, from the swamp, in which you would qualifications tier country could afford, studied law and practiced with success. In an evil hour for his private fortune, he was drawn into poli tics.

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.
