did not quite-despair» .
There was a sound in the laurel hedg-
es. She listened with every sense awake.
Persons were working their way through
the tangled masses in the (Ill‘CC?~lOI1 of her
covert. Their progress was slow and dif-
flcult; Sheheard muttered curses and
iihprecations. Her fears were immc;isu_r-
rably increased, for the voice of M1114’-Ill
Vantassle was so ‘odious;_and made so
many disagreeable impressions upon her
mamory,»that she could not but recog-
nize its-slightest tones. She shrank-_ and
crouched to mother earth for protection,
usthe startled’ partridge hides itself be-
neath the bough or in the friendly brake
1o escape the hurtlingshot of the hunter.
Discovery seemed inevitable, for the
crackling of the limbs, and the low-breath
ed curses came,-near_er_and nearer.
“ Perdition seize these brambles i” ex-
claimed Vantassle. “ One can neither
stand up nor lie down, go forward nor go
back.” ‘ ’ ' _ _
Jessie heard the--speaker cast himself
recklessly upon the ground a. few yards
from her. The ilaurel bent and complain-
ed beneath his weight, commuuicfiting a
wave of motion to the vines around her.
A volley of ioaths followed the remark. _
“ You’re in a bad temper Cap’n” said
another,-— who proved to be Simon Arrow-
smith. 7
“ Who- would’nt be in a-bad temper to
be baffled in this way” growled Vantassle.
. " Twice the gal seemed to be in my power
tonight, and twice zhavc-I been defeated
by that unknown devil, One-eyed Saul of
the. swamp.” ~
“It’s thegal--there’s where the shoe
pinches. The loss of the silver plate Is
w.hat"troubles~'me. ’Twas a fools trick to
set thehouse afire and burn it up after
all. There was enough of 118 '00 lake
Laurclwood by storm, and we ought to
have done it. , Pd been content with_ the
booty, and them that preferred it imglit
had the beauty and welcome. Women
are well enough to do the cooking and
housework, but as for having one on ’em
agin her will, I can't see no sense in it,
though them may have different views
that please. _ Whoever gets a chance to
look among the ashes yonder first will git
richly paid for their trouble.”
“ A greater treasure than all the plate
of Burnside House has slipped through
my fingers this night. Simon Arrow-
smith, who in the fiends name, is this our-
cyed Saul, who is sich a terror to our
fellers alon the Saiitee, especially in the
neighborhogll of this cursed swamp ?”
‘ It’s more than I can tell, Cap’n ; but
I know that he fights like a liurrir.-aue,
andis never still. First you hear he is at one
place, and then at another a long way
off. He goes from pint to pint like a
racehorse, and allcrs leaves his mark on
the king’s men. He has a burnin hatred
for Tories, and woe to them that he puts
his eye on for vengent-c,for they don’tlive
long arter. Jim Pollard has something
to do I reckon. I’m glad it wasn’t me
that drew his name from the hat, on the
, night we crossed our sabres over the red
blaze, and swore—we sevcr.—-to stand by
each other to the last, in all cases and
under all circumstances.’
'P0O1‘:l‘l1Ck we’vc had,’ sneered Martin,
‘ though we had the advantage in pint of
numbers. There’s seven of us matched
agin seven ; wc’ll see how it will end.’
‘ A dozen of us seem to be no match for
four to night,’ returned Arrowsmith mo-
rosely. ‘ I wonder if any of our seven got
their quietus? Satan takes care of his
own they‘ say.’
‘ VVc’ll know to night when we meet at
the cypress tree. I got a broken skull,
and I noticed two or three others hail got
some ugly marks ; but i’ts my opinion
that the seven will all turn up at the prop-
er time. Some of our friends went under,
the bodies of some few were burnt in the
house I suppose, but it is the fate of war
' and can't be helped. It’s Jessie _Bur'n-
side ‘that worries me most I’
Imagine the feelings of the young girl i
Picture to yourself her trepidation, her
trembling horror, at the proximity of vil-
lains whose religion was passion and pluii-
der, end whose depraved instincts hur-
ried them to the commission of (nor-
mities too shocking for the mind to dwell
upon. She was like the dove hiding
from the hawk—the hare shrinking from
the teeth of the bound.
‘ All hope of the gal isn’t lost yet,’ said
Arrowsmith, hopefully. ‘ Herrick and
Langford follered- ’em you -know.’
’ How far could they foller ’em through
these infernal meshes of wood ?’
‘ As far as the frigliteiied little bodies
could go. 1Iow do you think they could
fight their way througli sich diflikilties as
these ? Why thcy’d leave some of their
clothes at every step, and wouldn’t have
a rag left on ’em by the time thcy’d gone
a dozen rods. Tliiuk how the pretty
.dears must have torn their soft flesh.’
Arrowsmith laughed as if the idea was
a very pleasant one.
‘ They couldn’t go a great ways ‘that’s
certain,’ replied Martin reflectively.
‘_They may be within ten yards. of us i’
asserted Arrowsmith, with confidence.
The effect of this reuiark was anything;
but agreeable to Jessie, for the distance
was much less than the rufiian had named,
‘ VVe might look about some,’ added
Arrowsmith. ‘.The_v’d be apt to smuggle
into the first hidin place they come to ;
that’s the way of the critters. 1Viieii
they’re frightened, they put their silly
heads under the first bush they fin_d.’
‘ You forget that Tom Hatter, Paul
Huzelhurst, the tall Yankee and the nig-
ger started after ’em the moiuent we took
to our heels. They’ve found ’em’ by
this time, I'll warrant, and that arch reli-
el Hazelhnrst is whispering: flue things in
Jessie’s car by this time. The days ’ll be
long and the nights restless, till I’ve cov-
ered him with the muzzle of my rifle.-—
Little shall I sleep till he ceases to stand
’fwccn me and Jessie Burnside.’
‘It isn’t best to let out any secrets,
Cap'n, for we dcn’t know what ears may
hear us.’
A twig broke beneath the slight weight
of Jessie’s person. The circumstance ud-
dcd fresh terror to her situation.
_ ‘ What was that?’ whispered Arrow-
smith.
‘ It was a noise i’ said Vantasslc, sud-
denly, whose bad temper made him rock-
less.
‘I know it was a. noise, but it nllers
takes something to make a noise. What
did I tell you? Your beauty may be
concealed liereabout ; push ahead and
see.’
J cssie heard Vuntassle parting the lan-
rcls and pressing slowly toward ll0l'.--
licr heart" beat violently ; she believed
if he paused he could hear it. The cri-
.-zis cf her. fate, it seemed to her, had arri-
rcd. Should she spring up and attempt
to fly, or remain silent a moment longer ?

Norwalk, Tuesday, April 25:13”-
" squatter Sovereignty."
Quite an excitement pervaded our usually
quiet Borough, on Saturday last-, owing to
the service upon sundry *- squatter sover-
eigns,” of a summary process to absquafu-
late‘. The reviviflcation of the old Borough
system, and of the fire limits, render it ille-
gal for any wooden buildings to be erected
or removed within these limits. In fact, it is
asserted by-_ the immaculate disciples ofChit-
ty and Blackstone, that all wooden tenements
and additions of wood erected within these
limits for the past three or four years, are
subject to the same legal bars. These provi-
sions were beyond question, enacted for the
general good and will so result if impartial-
ly enforced, as we believe all right thinking
citizens are convinced they should be. But
as most of these structures were either coin-
menced and finished in ignorance of the re-
quirements of the Borough Laws on the sub-
ject, it has been thought expedient to defer
the time of carrying the law into effect, un-
til such time as the new buildings now in the
course of crectisn, shall have been comple-
ted, so that parties who would become dis-
possessed by an enforcement, may retain
their present business quarters, till it is pos-
sible to obtain others. A meeting of the
Borough Officers was held on Saturday even-
ing, for the purpose of making this extension
In the time,but owing to no quorum being
present, was adjourned till this Monday eve-
ning. We have no doubt, however, that the
meeting will result in the delay we have in-
dicated.

Dr. Lord’s Lectures.
We know our citizens will rejoice to learn

Lectures, given by Dr. Lord at New Haven,
New York and other large cities during the
past winter, and received by such an unusual
degree of commendation. is to be given in
Norwalk. It was had in contemplation last
fall to organize a committee to invite Dr.
Lord to give this same course here during the
winter but his engagement were such as to
render it inconvenient and the opportunity
now offering , we knoiv our citizens of cultiva-
ted tastes will gladly accept the present op-
portunity. Di‘.Lord as an historical, critical
and analytical scholar has no superior. We
never could learn to like his voice or manner
but with the matter of his discourses, no man
to our knowledge ever could find fault. We
shall be surprised if he does not draw forth

School Exhibition.
We believe it is the intention of the stu-
dents of the Higher Department ofthe South
Norwalk Union School t6 give an exhibition
at Ely’: Hall, on Monday and Tuesday even-
iuge,May 2d and 3d, for the purpose of aid-
ingin procuring an apparatus for the School.
It is a very favorable sign when students
themselves take hold of these matters. and
we may be sure the thing, aided by school
boy enthusiasm, will succeed. A good appa-
ratus andLibrary are indispensable requisite”
to a good School, and no School that bopcs
to be good ought toexpcct to prosper with-
out one. The Bill of Fare at the Exhibition,
we think, cannot fail to please. It consists
of Dialogues and Rehearsals, interspersed
with Music, and as the admission fee isso
small (15 ccnts,or $1 for a family. ticket of
8,) we hope our citizens will appreciate, at
least, the good intentions of the students, by
giving them a full house. Ely’: new Hall,
capable of seating 600 persons, is first to be
opened to the public on the above evenings.

@,There is a story floating about, says
the Hartford Cournnt, that was brought to
mind,on reading the list of votes obtained
by Ezra Clark, Jr., in the late election. We
kiiow now just what the ultra American
strength is in our district ; and fear it accor-
dingly :
A highivayman uiidcrtook to rob Major
Jones. He met Jones in a wood over in Jer-
sey. Ileasked Jones for his pocket book.-
Jones rcfus.-d to yield. Ilighwayman took
Jones by the neck and tried to choke him.-
Joucs made fight and kept up for half an hour.
At the expiration of that time. Jones caved,
and the higiiivayman commenced rifliiig his
pockets. The contents amounted to eighteen
cents. “ Is that all you've got?” " Every
cent.” “ What made you fight so long 1”’-
“ Didn’t want to be exposed. Bad enough
to have only eighteen cents; a great deal
worse to have the whole world know it.”

A QUIETUS To run Sonrmzmv PACIFIC
R-An.noan.—It is stated , that Capt. Pope
is closing up his Artesian ivell operations
on the Stnked Plains of New Mexico, and
that he has never been able to raise wu-
, for to within 180 feet of the earth's sur-
face. His apparatus is offered for sale
at auction. This is the result of experi-
ments conducted for fire years for the
government at great expense, and with
the determination if possible, that the
Southern Pacific Railroad on the ,22nd
parallel is feasible. It is now evident
that a road cannot be built on that route
and if yre are to have the road at all it
must be upon some of the Northern

The Brooklyn Water defamation.
From present appearances, the Brook-
lyn Water Celebration, which occurs on
the 27th inst., will be attended by a.
large concourse of people. Fire compa-
nies from various cities in New York,
Massacliusetts and~ Connecticut, have an-
neunced- their determination to visit that
city upon the occasion, and many societ-
less and associations from Philadelphia,
New York and Baltimore, are also ma-
king arrangements to be present, which
swell the number to one of the largest
gatherings of the kind efi held in this
country.
The order of nrrangements for the cele
bration is fixed as follows : National sa-
lutes to be fired at 7 o'clock, A. M. and
the bells to be rung for half an hour.—
The procession, Gen. Duryeu, acting as
Grand Marshal, will mo.ve at 11 o’clock.
precisely. "During. the moving of the
procession the bells will be rung. On
arriving at the City Hall the oration
will be delivered by Richard C. Under-
hill, Esq., from front of the hall. The
ode selected for the occasion will be sung
when the ceremonies of the day will con-
clude.
In the evening, there will be 11. grand ex-
hibition of fireworks at the city Hall, and
in_the Eastern District and Greenpoint.
The military, it is understood, will muster
about 1200 strong, the firemen over
1000, with 100 apparatuses, which, to-
gether with invited guests, trades and as-
sociations, will make a line some four
miles in extent. ' The route of the proces-
sion will be nine miles long.
The residents of the Nineteenth Ward
have subscribed $1,000 for the purpose
of decorating Bedford Avenue on the
dq of the celebration._ A grand triumph-
al arch is to be thrown across the aven-
ue near the fountain, to cost $500. A
platform is to be erected in front of the
Episcopal Church, on which will be
placed a band of music, and a number of
children, selected from the Sabbath
schools of thé Eastern District, will oc-
cupy the stage aud sing various songs
during the passage of the procession.

A Woman Attempts to Shoot Her
Husband.
A singnlar affair occurred in Chestnut
st. near Sixth, on Tuesday morning which
occasioned considerable scandal in that
neighborhood. It appears that the pro-
prietor of a hotel in that vicinity, suppos-
ing that his wife was out of town, took
his board and bed with another woman.
The wife, suspecting something wrong.
came home at an early hour, and dclectcd
her lord in bed with his cliere amie. A
scene ensued—un officer was called in-—
the wife procured a revolver—-the officer
interfered—~tlie woman attempted to
shoot but did not—tiie unfortunate hotel-
keeper attempted to escape, and finally
the frail woiuun caught in bed (by mistake
we presume,) was dragged to the lock-up
and placed in a cell. Subsequently the
poor creature was taken before Alderman
Freeman, and iicld in $400, bail to ans-
wer. All parties implicated in this affair
pretend to occupy a respectable position
in society.—Philade1pltia Pennsylvanian.
Id.»-o
fir Miss Antoiiiette,'I‘urnci-, who was
committed about a month since for con-
tempt in New Haven, still lies in jail.-
The New Haven Palladium says that her
counsel, Mr. \Vatrous, inquired of Judge
Seymour, on Wednesdiiy, whether he kept
Miss Turner in jail because he did not
belive her when she declarcd,u nder oath,
that she could not produce the child in
whose behalf the writ of habeas corpus
was served on her? and the reply was
that he did. Counsel then asked if the
judge would hear testimony as to the
creditibility of Miss 'l‘urner, and his Hon-
or positivciy refused. The Palladium
testifies in very strong terms to the ex-
cclience of the character of the unfortu-
nate prisoner, whose hope of relief must
thus depend, not upon the law, but upon
the temper of the judge.

- Break up Your Colds.
HE most important discovery since vaccination.-
Dr. Hanson’: Vegetable Chemical Powders will
break up colds at once, without inventing, dieting, in-
tcrruptioii of business, or the use of nut. Sllmuhflllll
and burning compounds, herb ti-as, candies, bnlsiuns,
or any other disagreeable, inconvenient and nauseating
doses, they do not cause the least unpleasant symp-
toms-—cvcn if taken inlnrge dose.-4 they create only a
thirst, which being alloyed with water, an agn-cubic
warmth and moisture at the surface is soon experien-
ced. When taken as directed, they break up the coli
and arrest its effects, and the only operation perceived
is a mysterious and unaccountable disappearance of
all syniptcin.-i. as fevcri.sliue.s-i, chills, lameness, dart-
ing pains, dull Iicavy pain-i, tightness of the chest,
Iioarscness, cough, sore-throat, croup, cistarrh, head-
ache, etc.
The Vegetable Chemical Powders are to colds what
vaccination is against Small Pox. and quinine for Ague.
They are n specific remedy for the prevention and cure
of a specific disease. And by breaking colds with them
the system is not weakened and deranged, and render-
ed more subject to repeated attacks, but is rather

the number stands Mrs. Wnrszow, who for more than
thirty -years. as nurse and physician, has followed her
profession with unfiagging application and industry...
During this time she compounded a Soothing Syrup, for
children teething, which ought to immortalize her name
It is the most perfect thing of the kind, in our opinion,
over compounded, and one of the greatest discoveries
in medicine of the age ; it is of more importance to the
human family than any other discovery made by the
profession in the last hundred years. Common observa-
tion cannot fall to satisfy all who will take the trouble to
look into the bills of mortality for any one year, that
a very large percentage of ‘children annually die during
the process of teething, and a very much larger num-
ber of those who survive are greatly debilitated or dis-
eased, so that they grow up weak, both physically and
mentally, and incapacifafed both for study and labor.
Now, we appeal with perfect confidence to thousands of
mothers viho will read this article, to con-oboiate our
stntamc-ut,when we say that no such fatal consequences
as those we have alluded to ever occur from teething,
when Mrs. Winslow ‘s Soothing Syrup is used in time.-
That it is just the article needed, is the testimony which
reaches us daily from those who have tried it and un-
til some member ‘of the faculty can produce an article
which shall equal in excellence this result of the long
experience of a Female Physician, we hope we shall
bear no more of womaa’s overstopping her sphere in en-
tering the medical profession.
