I camo to tell thee where thy Heifer is, and now I'll go home." Obediah rose from bis ohair, and was about to descend the steps when he was stopped by Watt, who hastily asked " what was your filly worth ?" " A hundred dollars is what I asked for her," replied Obediah. Obediah Lawson and Watt Dodd were neighbors; that is, they lived within about half a mile of each other, and no person lived between their respective farms, which would have joined, had not a little strip of prairie land extended itself sufficiently to keep them separated. Dodd was the oldest settler, and from his y—ith up had entertained a singular hatred against Quakers; therefore, when he was informed that Lawson, a regular disciple of that class of people, had purchased the next farm to his, he declared he would make him move away again. Accordingly a system of petty annoyances was commenced by him; and every time one of Lawson's hogs chanced to stray upon Dodd's place, be was beset by men and dogs, and most savagely abused. Things progressed thus for nearly a year, and the Quaker, a man of decidedly peace principles, appeared in no way to resent the injuries received at the hands of his spitcly neighbor. Hut matters were drawing to a crisis; for Dodd, more enraged than ever at the quiet Obediah, made oath that he would do something before long to wake up the spunk of Lawson. Chance favore 1 his design. The Quaker bad a higb-blooded filly, which he had been very careful in raising, and which was just four years old. Lawson took great pride in this animal, and had refused a large sum of money for her. JOHN MACLAREN, Practical Brass Founder, CURTISS & CO., Produce &. Commission *1 MANUFACTURER 0» m »r x.

Determined, however, to take the rebel standard, Tarlteton's men raged wildly about their intended victims. Men und horses sank to the earth, till at last their bodies formed a rampart, behind which the 1 Little Regiment,' wounded and bleeding, fought like lions. Seeing, at last, that sabres were useless, a British dragoon now drew a pistol, and leveling it at the young John Ilillier, shot him through the heart. " Close up, lads, close up ! Oar flag I— our flag for ever!" again thundered the father, and the fearful circle was once more serried and unbroken.

The man was on his way to San Jaime on a pressing errand. Being in haste to get there the same day, he would not wait for the canoe to be brought to him, but prepared to swim across, assisted by his horsd. He had already scoured his saddlo nnd clothes upon his head, as is usual on similar on occasions, when the ferryman cried out to him to beware of a caiman cebado, then lurking near the pass, urging upon him, at the same time, to wait for the canoe. Scorning this advice, the Llanero replied with characteristic pride, " Let him come ; I was never yet afraid of man or beast."— Then, laying aside a part of his ponderous equipment, he placed his two-edged dagger between his teeth, and plunged fearlessly into the river. He had not proceoded for, when the monster rose and made quickly towards him. The ferryman crossed himself devoutly, and muttered the holy invocation of Jesus, Maria y Jose.! fearing for the life, and, above all, for the toll of the imprudent traveler. In the mean time, the swimmer continued gliding through the water toward the approaching crocdile. Aware of the impossibility of striking Ms adversary a mortal blow unless he could reach the armpit, he waited the moment when the reptilo should attack him, to throw his saddle at him. This he accomplished so successfully, that the crocodile, doubtless imagining it to be some sort of good eating, jumped partly out of the water to catch it. Instantly he plunged hk dagger up to the very hilt into the fatal spot. A hoarse grunt and a tremendous splash showed that the blow was mortal, for the ferocious monster sunk beneath tho waves to raise no more. Proud of this achievement, and scorning the tardy assistance of the ferryman, who offered to pick him up in his canoe, he waved his bloody dugger in the air, exclaiming—"Is there no more about here and then turning, he swam leisurely back to take his horse C3 MANUFACTURER —itr S.

LI One evening, a little after sundown, as Watt Dodd was passing around his own field, he discovered tho filly in the little strip of prairie land that separated the Dwo farms, and he conceived the hellish design of throwing off two or three rails of his fence, that the horse might get into his corn during the night. He did so, and the next morning, bright and early, he shouldered his rifle and left the houso. Not long after his absence, a hired man whom he had recently employed, heard the echo of his gun, and in a few moments Dodd, considerably excited and out of breath, came hurrying to the house, where he stated that he had shot at and wounded a buck ; that the deer had attacked him, and he hardly escaped with bis life. This story was credited by all but the newly employed hand, who had taken a dislike to Watt, and from his manner judged that something was wrong. He therefore slipped quieUy away from the house, and going through the field in the direction of the shot, he suddenly came upon Lawson's filly, stretch upon the earth, with a bullet hole through the head, from which the blood was still oozing.

Our flag I — our flag forever 1" Among tbc militia were seven persons, a father and six sons, whom General Morgan especially complimented. Theso seven patriot soldiers were nicknamed by their coraradcs " The Little Regiment." The undersigned would respectfully announce to his old friends and the public that he has opened an establishmcntof the above description in the room next door south of Shiffor 4 Lance's old stnnd, where he is well stocked with Gentlemen's, Ladies, Misses and Children's Shoes of the very best manufacture. Having in constant employ the beBtof workmen, the custom department of his establishment will not be inferior to any in northern Pennsylvania. Satisfaction For a moment the giant patriot raised limself to his full height, whirled his sword aloft and delivered his last vengeful stroke among his enemies, one of whom he clove nearly to the saddle. Such was the force of the blow, that the blade snapped assunder, leaving only the hilt in the heroe's hand, who, casting this from him sprang up, seized the starry banner that h( had so long and bravely defended, and con vulsively wrapping it around him, sanl beneath a shower of blows, exclaiming with a dying voice : John Hillier, senior, some fifty-five years of age, stood six feet fivc-and-u-hulf inches, was of fine proportions, and weighed over three hundred pounds ; while the youngest, John IIiilicr, junior, aged 22, measured 6 feet 3 inches, and weighed 250 pounds. The five others varied in sife and weight between these two. In addition to these gigan'i" proportions, the Hilliers were possessod of enormous physical strength and the most dauntless couragc.

No man living can tulk in my presence of the President, as you have, if I can prevent it." With that his hand was on the collar of one of them, and the Copperhead found himself at full length on the floor.
