VOL. XXXI.
A Tiiniliug Talc.
Thr following narrative—a true one—dc-
K&satcene that actually took place not
m r rears since in a country village in the
Mir of Maine:
ike evening, in the month of December,
Wl, a somber of townsmen had assembled
ctirttore of a Mr. Putnam, to talk over
nutters and things,” smoke, drink, and, in
non, to do anything to “kill time." Three
jars bad thus passed away. They had laugli-
oiuJ talked, and drank, and chatted, and
Wispood time generally; ao that about the
aniirour of shutting up shop each of the par
ti frit particularly tirst-rate.
■tone,” said Charles Hatch, one the corn-
par, “come, let’s all liquor, and then have a
pat of high, low. Jack 1”
•fo I sav,” exclaimed another; “who’s got
{sards /•"’
-fetch on your keerds,” drawled out a third,
burs ba'.f closed through the effect of the
kpahehad drank.
itrr drinking all around, an qjd pino table
vn drawn up before tlie tire-place, where
Icird brightly a largo fire of hemlock logs,
iW would snap and crackle, throwing large
hi coals out upon the hearth. All drew up
■ml the table, seating themselves on what-
fiaauue handiest. Four of them had roll-
tdcp to the table some kegs, which, from
weight, were supposed to contain nails.
Hr. I’utnam was not in tbc store that eve-
ling. ind the clerk, who was busy behind the
Eater, had takcu very little notice of the
jroceedinpi. About half-past ten Mr. Put
in thought he would step over to the store,
tad see that everything was safe. As. he
*?atia, he walked up to the fire. When vvith-
atiew steps of where the men were sitting,
kituted back in horror. Before him sat
trta men, half crazy with drink and the cx-
tSKoeat of playing cards. There they vvere,
v-ibafew feet of tho fire just described,
"! four of them sealed on kegs of powder.
Birvlav, who was a very heavy man, had
piedin the head of the l eg on which he sat,
hating the top hoop, nud pressing the p’ow-
ds out through the chiuks. By the continued
-tiuo of their feet the powder had become
fn*d about thefloor, and now covered a space
tf two fact.
, Hr- Putnam’s first movement was towards
ktifoor: but recovering himself he walked
Jf towards the fire. Should either ot them at-
tfipt to rise, he thought, aud scatter a few
pvit-i a little further into the fire-place, where

*?,Hr. Putnam, with his face deadly pale,
fj 3 ®? iuto the lire, he exclaimed, “Putnam,
,3 *t ails you J" and at the same time made a
to rise.
. 'VaUemen, do not rise!” said Mr. Put-
f® ; “four of you sit on kegs of powder—it
f lattered all around you—one movement

K; *eta of water behind the bar. But keep

if in instant every man was perfectly so-
a limb moved—each was paralyzed.
A** U*M than we have taken to describe

Days of the ISevoititioa.
In the .summer of 1?7G, during one of
darkest periods of our revolutionary struggles,
tn the small village of S„ in Pennsylvania,
ltved. \ ., one of the finest and truest patriots
within the limits of the “ Old Thirteen,” and
deep in the confidence of Washington. Like
most men of his time and substance, he had
furnished himself with arms ami ammunition
suthcieut to arm the males of his household/
Ihese consisted of three sons andjabout
twenty-live negroes. The female part of his
house.consisted of bis wife, one daughter—
Cathrinc, about eighteen years of age, the
heioinc of our tale—aud several slaves.—
In the second story of the dwelling-house, im
mediately over the front door, was a small
room called the ‘"armory,” in which tho arms
were deposited, and always kept ready for
immediate use. About the time we introduce
our story, the neighborhood was very much
annoyed by tho nocturnal prowpngs and dep
xedation of numerous toriCs.
It was a calm, bright Sabbath afternoon in
the aforesaid summer, when Judge V. and his
family,, with tho exception of his daughter
Catharine and and an old dccrepid slave, were
attending worship in the village church. Not
a breath disturbed the serenity of the atmos
phere, not a sound profaned the sacred still
ness of the day. Tho time was dangerous,
and Catharine and the old slave remained in
the house until the return of the family from
church. A rap was heard at the front duor.
“ Surely,” said Catharine to. the slave, “the
family have not come—church cau’t be dis
missed.”
The rap was repeated.
“I will see who it is,” said Catharine, as she
ran up stairs into the armory. On opening
the window and looking down, she saw six
men standing in the front dbor and on the op
posite side of tho street, two of whom she knew
were tories, who formerly resided in the vil
lage. I heir names were Zant, Finley and
Sheldon; tlie other three were strangers, but
she had reason to believe them of same politi
cal stamp, from the company in which she
found them. \ an Zant was a notorious char
acter, and tbc number and enormity of his
crimes made his name infamous in that vicini
ty- Not a murder or robbery was committed
with.- miles of S., that he did not got the
credit Oi planning nnd executing. The char
acter of I inlcy aud Sheldon was also deeply
stained with crime, but Van Zant was a mas
ter spirit of iniquity. But Catharine V. pos
sessed her father’s spirit, “ the spirit of tbc
times.”
Van Zant was standing on the step rapping
at the door, while his companions were talking
in a whisper on the opposite side of tho way.
“Is Judge V. at home asked Van Zant, when
he saw Catbarino at the window above.
“ He is not,” said she.
.“ Wo have business of pressing importance
with him, aud if yon will open tho door,” said
Van Zant, “we will walk in and wait until he
returns.”
“ No,” said Catharine ; “when he went to
church he left particular directions not to open
the door until he and bis family returned,—
Yon bad better call when church is dismissed.”
“No, I’ll not,” returned ho; “wc will enter
now or never.”
‘■‘Imposible; you cannot enter until be re
turns.”
“ Open the door,” cried he, “or we’ll break
it down and burn you and tbc bouse up.”
So saying lie threw himself with all the force
he possessed against the door, at the same time
calling to his companions to assist him. The
door, however, resisted their efforts.
“Don’t attempt that again,’’ said Catharine,
“ or you are a dead man,” at tlie 6ame time
presenting from the window a heavy horse-
pistol, ready cocked.
At the sight of this formidable weapon, the
companions of Vant Zant, who bad crossed
the street nt his cull, retreated.
“ What," cried the leader, “you cowards,
are you frightened at the threats of a girl ?’’
And again he threw himself violently against
the door. Tlio weapon was immediately dis
charged, and Van Zant fell.
The report was heard at church, and males
and females rushed out to ascertain the cause.
On looking towards the residence of Judge V.,
they perceived five men running at full speed,
to whom the judge’s negroes and several others
gave chase; and from an upper window of his
residence a handkerchief was waving as if
beckoning for aid.
All rushed towards the place, and upon tlicir
arrival Van Zant was in the agonies of death.
He still retained strength enough to acknowl
edge that they had long contemplated robbing
the house, and frequently been concealed in
the neighborhood for that purpose, but no op
portunity bad offered until that day, when,
lying concealed in the woods, they saw the
judge and his family going to church.
The body of the dead tory was taken and
bnried by the sexton of the church, as lie bad
no relatives in that vicinity.
After an absence of two or three hours the
negroes returned, having succeeded in captur
ing Finley aud one of the strangers, who were
that night confined, and the next morning, at
the earnest solicitation of Judge V., liberated
on their solemn promise of amending their
lives.
It was in the month of October of the same
year that Catharine V. was sitting by nn up
per back window iu her father’s house, knit
ting. Though autumn, the weather was mild,
and the window was hoisted about three inches.
About sixty or seventy feet from tho house
was a barn, a huge, old-fashioned edifice, with
upper and lower folding doors; and accident
ally casting her eyes towards the bam, she
saw a small door—on a rango with the front
window at which she was sitting—open, and a
number of men enter. The occurrence of the
summer immediately preseuted itself to hqr
miud, and the fact that her father and the oth
er males of tho family were at work in the
field «t some distance from tlie house, led her
to suspect that that opportunity had been im
proved by some of Van Zant’s friends to plun
der and revenge bis death. Concealing her
self behind the curtains, she narrowly watched
their movements. She saw a man’s head slow-
lv rising above the door, and apparently rc-
connoitering the premises. It was Finley’s.
Their object was now evident. Going to
the armory, she selected a well-loaded musket,
and resumed her place at the wiudow. Kneel
ing upon the floor, sho laid the muzzle of the
weapon underthe window curtains, and taking
deliberate aim, she fired. What effect she hail
produced she knew not, but saw several men
hurrying out of tho burn by the same door
they bad entered.
The report brought her father and las work
men to the house, and going to the barn, the
dead body of Finley lay upon the floor.
Catharine V. afterwards married a captain
in the continental army, aud she lives the hon
ored mother of a numerous and respectable
line of descendants. The old bouse is still “in
the land of the living," nud has been the scene
ut many pranks of the writer of this sketch in
hoy-day of mischievous boyhood.
\ roiMi miss having accepted the offer of
a youth to gallant her home, afterwards fear
ing that jokes might be cracked at her expense
if the fact should become public, dismissed
him to secrecy. “ 1 - ,ou ' t ’ u, ‘ , hc ’

General Principles.
In the August number of the Knickerbocker
is a racy sketch entitled “ A month with the
Blue Noses. An American and an English
man having descended into a coal mine to in
spect its dingy wonders, upon emerging they
bold the following dialogue:
“ Do you know,” said I, “ Picton, wliat we
would do if wc bad such a devil’s pit as that in
tlie States 1”
“Well ?” answered the traveller, interroga
tively.
“We would make niggers work it.”
“I dare say replied Picton, fiercely and sati
rically : ‘but, Sir, I am proud to say that our
government docs not tolerate barbarity; to
consign an inoffensive fellow creature to
suchhorriblo labor, merely because he is black,
is at variance with the well-known humanity
of the whole British nation, Sir.”
“ But those miners, Picton u were black as
the devil himself.”
“The miners,” replied Picton, with impres
sive gravity, “are black, but not negroes.”
“ Nothing but mere white people, Picton ?”
“ Eh ?” said the traveller.
“ Only white people, and therefore we need
not waste one grain of sympathy over a whole
pit full of them.”
“ Why not ?”
“Because they are not niggers ; what is the
use of wasting sympathy upon a rat-hole full of
white British subjects ?”
VI tell you what it is,” said Picton, “ you
are getting personal.”
“Not at all, my dear friend, I am only talk
ing of British subjects in the abstract; you
understand—this is always the way with talk
ng philanthropists, and it reminds me of a
story; In the course of my travels, 1 once met
a queer couple—representatives Of your na
tion and mine. The Yankee was a tall com
pound of skin and whalebone; the English
man, a small, wiry animal, with red hair, and
eyes like a ferret. Yankee bent over him like
an elm over a scrub oak. So far as the divine
influence of the grape was concerned they
were about equal. ‘I tell you what it is, John
ny Bull,’ said the altitudinous one, ‘There’s
one thing I want you to remember as agen’ral
principle, you cau take any one Yankee (lay
ing the fore-finger of his right hand on the
thumb of his left) and put him before any two
Englishmen, (carrying his right fore finger to
the first and second fingers of his left hand)
and he’ll whip ’em both.’
‘Ye think so, d’ye V 6aid the ferret-eyed.
‘Yes, Sir, you can bet your life on that,
as a gen’ral principle. Take any one Yankee,
(thumb) and any two live Englishmen, (two
fingers) and he can whip ’em so quick you
wouldn’t have time to say Balaam !’
* You think so, d’ye?’ said ferret-eyed,
getting restive.
Yes, sir, I know it, you can bet your life
on it.’
| Well, sir,’.replied the little fellow, squar
ing his yards, ‘You are a Yankee, and I’m an
Englishman—only one Englishman, suppose
you try me ?
“ ‘Oh! look here, Johnny Bull,’ replied the
altitudinous, drooping over him, ‘I diu’t mean
anything personal; I only meant it as an ab
stract thing—as a gen’ral principle; take any
two Englishmen (two fingers) and any one
Yankee (thumb) and he’ll whip ’em quicker’n
you can say scat! I mean, of course, as a gen-
ral principle.’”

COTTON PLANTERS.
T HE subscriber has thoroughly tried, at Macon
aud Columbus, Georgia, his wrought iron Cot
ton Screw, where two of them are now standing and
will remain until October for inspection. I believe
it is cheapest, by half, ever offered for the purpose of
pressing cotton or hay, as the frame, screw, pm, and
levers are all of wrought iron. It should be attach-
ed to the gin house, and have it put up through the
floor, as the ordinary press—the levers being only
five feet in length—to have the width of tho bouse
and IB and 20 feet in length, the lint could tht n be
placed all around the screw. Then a man can take
five hands and pack as many five-huudred-pound-
bales in one day, with as little labor to the band, as
tho same five and two more, with a horse, can on
the wood screw in the same time. Three hands can
put up one and take it down, audit can be carried at
oDe load with four mules to any point.—As this is for
the public eye I will give the amount of timber ne
cessary for completing one :
1 piece 17 feet long 4} by 9.

This makes a box near nine feet deep with bed and
follower, and all other fixtures. I furnish tho iron
and the work done on it at Macon, and put the a-
Dovo lumber to it at the place where it is wanted, the
purchaser furnishing tho lumber and paying the
freight from Macon, can have one of the handiest
nnd cheapest cotton screws now kuown, its durabil
ity considered, as it is given up by all who have seen
it to be a lifetime investment. I can pack five hun
dred pounds with three hands—take five and there is
no hard work done. Price 6150 this year
I expect, if life lasts, to have one at the next State
Fair, and would be glad to see one of every other
pattern of presses now in nse there and let the wo*Jd
judge for itself. I then expect to sell the right in
any size territory that may bo desired on reasonable
terms, with a working model, within the limits of
such county or counties, and all the information ne
cessary for putting them up and working them. Ad-
