Early m the morning of the 27th of May, 18137 the garrison in charge Fort George, on the Canada side o. the month of the Niagara, was alarm ed by the report that a large American force was approaching the place in boats with the intention of attacking it. The trodps of the garrison were com- mamjed by General Yiricent. The at- taclong'party of Americans was led by General Boyd .and Colonel Miller. Soumily had the latter commenced jhe landing, under the fire of British soldiers drawn up in line along the beach, than Vincent, foreseeing that the place would fall into the hands of the assailants, directed that the houses of ihe town should be set on fire, hop- sovet* of the conflagration ' confusion- of the litants, to make good to the woods in the defend her young, she a death blow upon the other had not her mother, renamed by the fearless conduct of her daughter, armed herself jwith a heavy fire-shovel and buried the WnePof it inthesdldier’a forehead, Using him to fall outside the door.

Otoe of the doomed!,buildings, whidb steed apart frthr the rest of the build ings, was occupied by a family of the name of Leach. It consisted of Mrs. Leach (her husband being absent with the Provincial troops), her daughter Miiigarut, aged 16, and some younger Clrldren. Besides these an old lady, a relation of the family, for many months unable to leave her bed, was in an upper room of the house. The first intimation this family had of what was going on about them was a heavy crash at the front door, which aroused them from sleep and springing from their beds they found a number of soldiers already in the house. They carried brands of fire, and hastily warn ing the occupants to leave the house, they broke up the furniture and piled it in the middle of the room, where it was soon in a blaze. Seeing this, Margaret, who was a beautiful and courageous girl, ran to the outer room, and returning with a Pail of water dashed it upon the flames before any of the soldiers could inter fere to arrest her. At this moment another soldier entered the house with a burning brand. But before his com rades could reach him, to rekindle the splinters from it, the brave girl had ■hatched it from his hand, and strik ing the soldier across the face with it, threw it into a puddle in front of the door. All this had been done before a word . bad been spoken by terrified Mrs. Leach. She now inquired the meaning of this • outrageous conduct in British soldiers, s supposed were among them as ..protectors, and not to bum their % houses ewer their heads. “It is the orders, madam,” said one ; af the soldiers. “The Yankees are landing and will soon be in possession of the place. Bun, Jack,” he continu ed, turning to one of his comrades.“run to the last house and get another -brand. We must obey orders, boys, if the women don’t like it.” This was said to the fellow Margaret had so unceremoniously saluted with the burning torch. He instantly disappear ed ; but soon returned with a bundle of smoking faggots, which were thrown upon the extinguished rubbish; *and failing upon his hands and knees the soldier commenced to blow the faggots into a blaze. As the room was filling with smoke, rendering it uncomfortable for the soldiers to remain, they not doubt ing that all would soon be wrapped in conflagration, withdrew to join other parties of incendiaries busy in then- work of destruction. In the meantime fearless Margaret Leach, who had hastened to the well for another pail of water, returned and finding the single soldier still engaged in kindling ihe fire, dropped her burden, and catching up an iron from an empty fire-place, struck the man a blow with it on the back of the head, which knocked him senseless with his face upon the flames. Dragging him partly from the fire she again dashed the contents of the pail upon it, and once more the flames were extinguished. She now called to her mnther, who, almost frantic with fear, was assisting her younger children to escape from the house. “The fire is out, mother 1” she shout ed, “but come here, quick 11 want your help.” Mrs. Leach returned to the room and - found her daughter alone with the body of the soldier, which she was try ing to drag towards the door opening into the cellar. “My God!

But do you run to Aunt Lydia’s room and see if the Yankee’s are in town—I’m sure they will save us. And ’twould be so nice to make these house burning rascals prisoners.” Mrs. Leach ran as directed to the upper room occupied by the sick lady, from the window of which she could overlook the town. To her great joy she saw the red-coats retreating in con fusion In the direction of the woods while the Americans were iu pursuit. The latter, however, soon gave up the chase, and attempted to save some of the burning buildings, and assisted the citizens in saving some of their goods. Thank God! Thank God!” was Margaret’s earnest ejeculation, as she still tugged at the cellar door, while the prisoner, was alternately begging to be released and cursing in impotent rage at his heroic young captor - “Now, mother,” cried the girl, “run to the street and bring some of those brave Americans here. Bon ! 1 can keep this fellow safe till you come back.” In a few minutes Mrs. Leach return ed, accompanied by two young men, one of whom was an officer. The whole affair was briefly related to them, and the prisoners—for there were two of them, only one having died in the cellar (the man struck by Mrs. L.)— were taken in charge by them. And Margaret Leach, who through out the whole struggle with the Incen diaries had behaved with such heoric guard over the cellar door, fell foint- ng into the arms of her mother, and it was some weeks before she recovered from the sudden reaction of the terri ble excitement of that hour. But perhaps the most singular, and at all events the most romantic con clusion of this truthful story is the fact that the young American officer, struck' with the remarkable beauty and extra ordinary intrepidity of the young lady, soon afterward made her his wife, and they are at this time residing almost in sight of the place where they so singu larly met. They are now grandparents ever pleased to narrate to the little ones about them the story of the capture of Fort George. A Bucking Bro noko. Much has been said and written about the bucking broncho, bat the half has not been told. . The backing broncho is a plant which grows wild dn the Laramie plains, and blossoms at any and all times of the year. The man who never saw one of three Kaleidosco pic panoramas has our gympaty; and the tenderfoot who thought he knew all about horses, and who played second fiddle to a good, healthy broncho through one twenty-eight-second round also has our sympathy. He n—d* the sympathy of the entire community for that matter, not only the services of a good surgeon." The “old-timer” mounts the colicky animal as though it was a stone fence, and calmly and contentedly maintains his seat while the mineatnre earthquake is erupting beneath him. It looks easy, and you can’t help think ing that it is easy. It is a mistake, however, to suppose that the uninitiated man can ride the bounding broncho the first time he tries it, no matter how good a horseman he may be.

All was well enough until the night we reached the Cape of Good Hope The clouds were charged with and lightning. The' wind roared in our masts. Nothing oonid be It' was a fearful night, and no one on board even hoped to seo the light of another sun, After the storm had cleared away we drifted, God Knows whither, without radder to guide or ■ails to propel. Three of our men had been swept overboard and swallowed np by the sea. We were alone on the ooean, helpless, and with but a limited supply of provisions. Our craft drifted westward end to the north. Oar only hope was to hail aome passing steamer, and thus be saved from the fate of star vation and a watery grave. The most thrilling pert of my narra tive is yet to come. We bad probably been at sea a month. No sign of land and no godsend in the way of ■ steamer flecked the horizon. The provisions grew so mtier day by day. Finally nothing was left bnt a few crusts of bread. I bad a private fund of edibles, whieh I bad peeked securely in my cheat, aud of whieh the Bailors knew nothing. Starvation knocked at our doors. Two days we drifted, with nothing to satisfy the terrible hanger of oar stomachs. Matters reached a desperate taro. Home thing must be done or we would all perish with han ger. The captain and I tried to pnt on a bold front. We encouraged the men to resist toe gnawing in their stomachs a little while longer and looked forward to a brighter day. It was a sad sight to see those men perched upon the eleva - turns on the boat gazing in vain over briny deep, in search of something which might bring them the long hoped for relief. One day we notioed that the men said nothing. Wa knew they were almost pinched to death with banger, and wondered why they bad oeased to complain. That night tOb mystery was explained.

Notice of the sadden and mysterious disapperance of females from their homes have been so frequent of late as to suggest an epidemic of flighty ten dencies. The disa pea ranee of wives is not rare, but there is the almost invari able man in the case. So much cannot be said of the disappearance of yonng girls who apparently have not arrived at years of discretion. A flight of this kind lately set St. Louis society agog. A yonng woman rebe'led against piano practice and was missed from her ac customed place. After a long search this fugitive was discovered in an insti tution officiating as a laundress, clear stercher and ironer. Very recently two cases of mysterious disappearance have been announced nearer home. In none of these cases has it been admitted that the fugitives had made a sign in dicative of a purpose to absent them selves front home and friends. But such departures from the even tenor of the ordinary female way cannot, we suspect, be utterly unaccountable to the persona with whom they Dve. Neither men nor women break off stifrtenly from their usual r oarrea in life. To the close observer stab aacap- adre are in some sort advertised before hand, and in the case of yonng women it is doubtful if a sudden departure cannot always be predicated of her acta long beforehand. The truth is that parents and guardians are in the habit of ignoring many indications of unrest exhibited by their children and wards, .assigning them to eccentricity, when in fact they betaken a morbid condition. It is generally safer to foil in with the temper of such persona, and if possible afford them frequent changes of scene. Bnt beyond all, employment is the beet A Jay—* School Hoo—.

Never grand or of a highly distinguished character, it yet had toe charm of a pleasing variety of nature modified by hnman presence. It lias beoome wholly artificial and mon otonous, and, moreover, thoroughly and basely vnlgsr—vulgar beyond the power of expression in language; be cause its very vulgarity is without any individual character, and is simply tame and commonplace.

He was successful here, and soon acquired a fortune. The first few years he was here he lived with a Mexican women, but in 1850 he concluded to marry again, the Missouri Legislature having passed an act di vorcing Mm from his wife. The Mexi can woman was given a sum of money to return to her parents, and she went, Wilson promising to follow her. When she was out of the way be married Susan E. Osborne. By this wife he had one sou, George, who is now living. About three years ago the woman deserted in 1843 heard that her husband was living, and soon after that John Harvey Wilson, the son be fore referred to, came out to visit his father. He was discreet and did not make himself known as a son of W.JC. Wilson to aay one except the old gen tleman. Wilson was getting on in years, and soon after a complication of diseases set in, and some time before his deaih his last will was made. By it half of the estatefwas bequeathed to his wife and the remainder to his son George, except $20,000, which was bequeathed in trust for George’s wife and his children. A few months later W. C. Wilson’s widow died, leaving her portion of the estate to George Wilson. Harvey Wilson, who is a resident of Bolton, Kan., desired that the trust for the benefit of George Wilson’s wife az.d children remain undisturbed. LUe “On the Road.’’ Mr. Frobman of the Madison Square Dramatic Company -<zays: During a special journey of several . Weeks I ex plored the whole Yellowstone county, from near its mouth to the Grand Canon and Geyssra. While making this long but romantic journey we had many curious experi ences. On one occasion onr ponies stampeded during the night, leaving ns in an embarrassing predicament. It took the guide just three days to bring " SfiMMSbSS 7 the son of a Montreal editor, proposed taking a bath in the Yellowstone. The suggestion seemed a good one, and hastily disrobing, we plunged in. The river, which is deep, runs swiftly, but in this place there were hidden rocks, and my friend struck a sharp boulder, which for a time rendered him senseless. The first thing I saw when I arose on the boiling surface was his body float ing near me. Of course, it rested there bnt a moment, and it was with difficulty tbatl reached him as he was going down for the last time. Probably 1 should never have succeeded in getting him ashore at all if a large Newfoundland dog, which I bought of a Swe 'e at Bismark, had not come to the rescue. Never shall I forget the intelligent, anxious lock on the animal’s face as he swam out and grasped me by the collar. After a long and painful straggle we managed to get the boy into shallow water, where he regained his senses Being on the wrong side of the stream and without clothing or fire, the situa tion seemed desperate. Again the saga city of the dog helped ns out of a se rious dilemma. After a few attempts I succeeded in making him understand sufficiently to swim across the river and bring my coat, which contained cordials that I carried for emergencies. They restored circulation, and by tear ing the coat lining in strips I was able to bandage the poor fellow’s head, which, happily, was not seriouslyjbruia- ed, although the blood ran freely for a time. In the coarse of an hour he felt strong enough to 'return to the water. You may judge of the swiftness of the current when I tell yon that in crossing and recrossing we were carried down at least three miles, and bnt for the dog’s assistance I doubt if we could have re turned that day. Night was upon us when, mote dead than alive, we reach ed the smouldering fires of onr little camp. The next adventure was at the Gey sers, and was no laughing affair, I can toll yon. One of-the half-breed packers got wet while hunting, and the labor of bringing in a large elk so fatigued him that he threw himself down on the hot earth near a geyser to warm him self. We paid little attention to where he lay, and as he seemed dozing I soon dropped off to sleep, Jost before day light we were awakened by terrific yellls and a strange roaring noise, and I thought the Indians were upon us. We found, however, that the hot spring had just taken to spouting afresh, and a stream of scalding water burst out of the ground near where the half-breed lay. He leaped to his feet and fell headlong into a seething pool very near tie spring. Fortunately, the guide, who had Ids wits about him, pulled Mm oat just in time to save his life. As it was, the skin hong in white shreds from his legs, arms and face. One of hia hands looked as if he were in the last stages of leprosy. The guide rolled him in some cotton flannel and bear’s grease, which gave great relief and un doubtedly prevented prolonged agony, if not death. On this trip I met a portion of the Hatch party, and they with all others who know anything of that enchanting region, agree that it most be thickly settled in a few years, and before long onr companies will be playing to the summer boarders who will swarm in to the National Park. It is well known that the green tea affect the nerves much more than the black tea, which is believed to arise from the different modes of preparation. For making green tea the leaves are put over the fire and partially dried directly after they are picked, hot with Mack tea the leaves are put into a basket and then exposed to the influence of. the atmosphere for twenty or thirty hours, during which time a slight fermentation takes place, and the color of the leaf changes from green to chocolate hne (this is easily seen by the infusion of the drief leaf of Mack sad green tea; the leaf after Infution. will show the different colors naoai “ are then pnt over the fire arid In this country about 245,000,000 pounds are delivered yearly, of which about 40,000,000 are exported., but the proportions are about 207,000,000 of black and 7.000,000 of green, Oolong and Japan. While in America the black tea imported ia about 5,250,000, the green tea (inetading Oolong and uncolored Japan lea,which possess nearly the same properties as green) amount to 58,000,000. Would not this excess ive use of green account for the opinion of the American doctors as to the effect of tea on the nervous system? I doubt very much if a pound of black tea, boiled down in the same way as the young liyson mentioned, would poison either rabbits or cats with the same dose. There is no doubt the fermenta tion of the leaves of black tea produces the amount of the active principal “theine” that you find in green. Another thing, in preparing tea for the table, boiling water is put on the leaf and an infusion made which is at once partaken of. But who ever would think of boiling tea to drink? By so doing you extract from the stalk and woody fibre of the leaf an acrid de coction that ne one would find pleasure in taking, and from which the woody part would he most likely extracted the poisonous qualities mentioned. In tea drinking European counties, as Ger many, Bussia, &c., scarcely any green is used, and doubtless the great increase in the consumption m this country arises from the almost universal use of black tea, green being only used in mixing with it to impart a flavor, and while of late years the consumption of black tea has largely increased, that of green has remained stationary, which clearly shows the taste in this country is entirely different from that of America. May we long continue in this country to enjoy “the cup which cheers but not inebriates.” A New Care for Tootli*ehe. Mr. William Keating, who resides in New York, went out Sunday night to enjoy a solitary ramble in Chatham street. Just at the time that the hands of the clock on the City Hall tower marked the hour of 10:30 Mr. Keating was passing by Pearl street, with his bead carried high in the air aud his eyes fixed upon a single little star that was trying to make itself visible, when— bump! something had struck Mr. Keat ing in the most vulnerable spot in his - body—his stomach. For a moment Mr. JC«iiing imagined that •mpanlon, suddenly collapsed and hr him, when—bump, bum] something in rapid sui Mr. Keating became aw that a man had gotten like a goat in front of exercising all his muse endeavoring to poke his h* Mr. Keating’s body. Mrs, Keating objected, and tried both by-,force and persuasion to make the man A—1st, but the more Mr. Keating objected the more the man bumped and continued bumping until Officer Rhofits, of the 4th precinct, came up and playfully tapped the bumping man upon the shoulders with a club. Then the man, with his lowered head, turned his attention to the latest arrival aud before the officer fully compmbened the awful reality of what had happened, he had received several hard bumps in what was also his most vulnerable spot. Officer Rhodes is not a man to be bump ed with impunity, and he had soon made it inconvenient for the man to bump any more. The man, who gave his name as James Hays, of No. 152 Leonard street, was minus two teeth, lost in the bumping exercise, when he appeared before Justice White in the Tombs yesterday. He informed his Honor that he had been afflicted with a most excruciating toothache, and that the only way he could stop it was by bumping his head against some soft substance, and, not being able to reach Mr, Keating’s he had done the best he could. Justice White fined Mr. Hays $10, and Mr Hays wept. He not able to pay it. geutiemen cordial fellows; more anil less reserved than -- rjr_jtjj W " home says a English genOMMUti.

In all Australian life there re mains stiff a large out-of-door element comprising occasional hard exercise, the recoil from which has a tendency to make men burly, if not portly. Theirs is a rudder, sturdier manhood than is ours, even In the towns. In culture, in refinement, in manner, the Australian women are the superiors for the most part of the Australian men; but I think this is so in all communities of which the civilization has not attained to an exceptional degree of flni*h«i organization. We set down the American trade, though a creation of the last thirty years, as three times the English in amount. The English trade, it de clares, has now no presentions’ to oc cupying the home market. It is the colonies to which English manufac turers look, and whereas on$e they ex ported not five per cent, of their wares, the proportion is now fifty per emit. Cheapness has gained the day. The Swiss and the American can beat the Englishman in price, and do. They torn out as good a watch as most peo ple care for at a cost which puts Eng lish competition nowhere. The Ameri can learnt the secret of organization and tne use of machinery, which the English cannot or will not learn.

Only 80 appear on the rolls of the census, be cause no census officer has been able to penetrate the wilderness.. The 80 In dians who appear upon the census rolls are those who come out to trade; but it is known that the large majority are averse to trading or mingling with the whites. Indian hunters Come out with bear, deer and panther shine, Blowing that the everglades must good hunting grounds. A ntwnber of ne groes, say thirty or forty, Are known to be held by the Indians. They the Indian tongue, wear the drees of Indian women, and are reads to do women’s work. These negroes are evi dently the progeny of runaway atevee, who escaped before or daring the civil war, and are still in slavery. Only missionary ever attempted to cany the news of Lincoln’s proclamation into the everglades. He left the harden of the Indian country with great speed. A few months ago Chief Tiger Tail be came displeased with one of his colored servants, and brought hire into Fort Myers to offer him for sale. When in formed that the negroes were all free, he ejaculated, “White teen’s nigger mebbe free, but Indian’s nigger, no.” Whereupon Tiger Tail graapeii the dar key by the nape of the nack, pushed him into the canoe and peddled back to the everglades.

A dozen trades contribute to the making of a single watch, carried on under different roofs by separate firms, often at a large distance from each other. In America they have been combined, and to this combination with the added advantage of machinery and the mathematically accurate pro duction of precisely similar parts of innumerable watches, is due the sur prising fact that a single firm now turns ont annually ns many watches as all the English' makers together—200,000. The Swiss are Said to make the enormous number ot 3,300, 000. France produces over -half a million—ninety per cent, of them from Besancon. So that, it we leave Eng land behind, we are very for ind^ from driving Switzerland and Fiance out of the world’s markets. The Swim are said to make nowa miiHqy watches more annually than they did five years ago. The French businem has grown tenfold within thirty yerefli • But the English are not idle, and an the whole, not despondent. They are beginning to use machinery, and otherwise modernizing the habits of the trade. And they stiff pride themselves on being able to produce, if not the cheapest or the most showy, the best and most durable, timekeepers in the world. The best English watches are stiff sought for—even Americans are known to pnfifir them.
