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.

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.

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 ’ -of my saying anything about it, lor I feel as much ashamed of it as you do, 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.’” A Scene in Court—Lawyer—Where do you live I Witness—With Frank. Lawyer—Where does Frank live ? Witness—With me. Lawyer—Where do you both live ?

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. 6. 12. 4. (.pine or oak. 14 10 51 23. 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.
