IT I nn'c frit'"' cm. Whenever an inradiDg army is en ramned in the country of an enemv, the 1 inhabitants for miles around are neve secure in either property or life. Vi dettes, reccnnoiierring and foraging par "ties are more or less abroad in every da rection to say nothing of a prowlinf se cf thieves and marauders, who follow an army as wooives do a hunter, or jackalls the lion, to pounce upon whatever they can with impunity. During the war for Independance, al most a hundred years ago, these villain ous marauders became very troublesome in some sections of the country, and the unprotected citizens, between the lines of the two armies, often suffered terribly in life and property. In many cases the head of the family being away with the armv. the onlv inmates of the dwelliug were cne or more women, with perhaps R few children, too vounz to afford their mother any assistance in the event of an attack; and such defenceless places the cowardly marauders delighted to ass-ail, rlunder. and burn, in the dead cf night, not unfrequently murdering in cold blood the entire household, or adding such foul rWds to their list of dimes as wc care not to relate. In a rather lonely part of the country a few miles northward from Philadel phia, at the time the British took posses- ion of the city, there stooa a solitary dwelling, occupied by a Mrs. Parker, a maiden sister, older than herself, and two children cf tender years, the hus land and father being in the army under (Jen. Washington. A small farm, owned by her husband . i .- nil Mrs. Parker had to depend on for a living ; and this during his absence was carried on by herelf and sister, both working in the fields at ploughing, planting, and hoeing, and only getting a man's help for a few days in haying. Neither Mrs. Parker, nor her sister, Miss Price, were at all delicate in person cr strength, but on the contrary, quite strong and robust, and their out-door la bors, of course, increased their mascu lineness in some degree. Nor were they as timid as the greater portion of their sex but when they found the enemy near them, and heard cf the depreda tions and barbarities cf here and there a roving band of villains, they clenched their hands, set their teeth hard, and m:d it was well the scoundrels did not have two such persons as themselves to deal with. It might natuaally be asked what two women ay, or for that mat ter, two men either could do to protect themselves acainst a party or ten or m m twenty armed desperadoes; but, as we could answer the question to-day by tel ling what they did do under just such cir cumstance?, we will proceed to state the facts that we wish to make known. As one means of protection, and also to destroy any game, troublesome or oth erwise, that might chance in their way, a loaded rifle was always kept in the house ; and this weapon both of the sis ters had learned to handle with nearly as much skill as the owner himself. In order, too, that there might never be any lack of ammunition. Parker, before enlisting for the war, had purchased a l:eg of powder in the city, and stored it in the cellar, in a little Ml prepared expressly for it, where it was kept per fectly dry, and with little or no danger to the inmates. Now, one dnrk night, at a late hour, the sisters were arroused from sleep by a tapid succession of thundering knocks upon cne cf the outer doors of their dwelliug, and they also heard several gruff voices rapping out the most blas phemous oaths and demanding instant admittance. "Sally." said Mrs. Parker, starting up in bed, "its them cut throats come to try their hands on us. "Just so, Nancy" replied Mrs. Price, Fpnnging: out of bed and hurrying on some of her clothes ; "and do you know what we always said we'd do in case they did come." 'It's awful though, aint it ? returned the other, in a tone of considerable dis may and alarm, as she hastened to fol low the example of her sister. "Oh, my poor dear children ! if we should fail what will become of them ?" "Die, I s'pose, as we will," replied their maiden aunt." "But it won't do to fool away time in talking we've got to act, and that, too, before the scuundrels jjet in. I'll gu and speak 'em fair, and keep 'em from breaking in. if I can. whilst you run and get the pjwder." "Shall we need a light?" asked Mrs. Parker. "Yes, but I'll attend to that; you'll not want any to get the powder with, be cause it ain't ourselves we want to blow up." With this both hurried out of their bedroom into a large apartment, which occupied nearly the whole of the front tide of the dwelling, and was used as is customary in farm houses as a sit'mg room, diniug room and kitchen. From this apartment a door led outside, anoth er into the cellar, and a third into a wine of small dimensions, which was much newer than the main building, and was principally used rs a kind of work shop and stoor-room. "Who's there, and what do you want?" screamed Miss Price, rs soon as 6he reached the kitchen, while her'sister hur ried down the cellar stairs to get the powder. "Open the door, you angel, and we'll tell you," was answered from the outside, accompanied with a laugh, that was nei ther merry nor musical. "Well, you ought to tell me who you are and what you want before we let you in ; 'cause we're only two lone women, that don't like to let everybody in this time of night," rejoined Miss Price, as the busied herself in lighting a candle. "Oh. we'r'i real gentlemen, we are just the kind to suit two such ladies as you," said the same voice. "Come, be quick now, will you "cause were getting tired cf waiting, and some of us might take a notion to Etave the door in, d;ye tee ?" By this time Mrs. Parker had reap peared with the keg of powder in her arms, and, lighted jmd directed by her tister, whose sharp features expressed a desperate determination, the hastened to place it ia the store-rocra about half way between the door opening from the main building into it and another that led to the party outside. Miss P. then took the loaded nfle from the hooks on which it rested, and, having reprimed it from a "horn, hastened to set the candle on the floor, a little beyond the powder, so that the light shown full upon it. "Oh. my poor children ! God help us !" said Mrs. Parker, m a low and ag' itated tone. "It will all depend on one single shot Nancy," returned her sister, with com pressed lips and unquailing eye, as she placed a chair in the doorway, between the larger and smaller buildings for her gun td rest on while she sighted it. ."I don't hardly expect I shall live through it whether our plan succeeds or not, ''she added solemnly; ''so just kiss me good bye. Nancy." The sisters now embraced, Mrs. Par ker ffivinjr way to tears and sobs, but Miss Price remaining firin and outward ly composed. "There, Nancy," pursued the maiden sister, as if she were giviog directions about some of the ordinary affairs of life ; "we're as ready now as we can be, I s'pose so just run and shove back the bolls of the room door, but don't make any noise about it, and then hurry into the bedroom to your children, and pray for all of us. If heaven is pleased to smile upon our hopes, you and they will must likely be saved, and my poor life ain't much matter, one way or t'other." "Oh, Sally!" sobbed Mrs. Parker. "how can I see you give yourself away to die for me and my children ? "Oh, that's nothing. Nancy. I've got to die sometime, and I don t care much abcut living, except for you and the lit t t i tie uears ; and you can otten kiss em for me, aL.d tell 'em about aunty. Wil liatn that should have been mine, he's in heaven, you know and maybe when I die I shall meet him asrain. But come ! there's no more time to talk for alrea dy the scoundrels are trying to break down the door." This was literally true. The party outside, becoming madly impatient at the delay of those inside to throw open the door to them, wher now in the act of batteriug it down, and loudly cursing and swearing at ihe occupants of the dwelling. Mrs. Parker hastened to un do the bolts of the wing door, which, for some reason, the assailants had not touch ed ; and when she got back to her sister, the latter was kneeling before'.ihe chair in the doorway, her rifle rested and poin ting at the keg. "Go, Nancy jro, and heaven bless you : t "iAnd you, Sally !" sobbed the other, as she again kissed her and hurried a- way to the room in which her innocent children were still sleeping, undistuibed by the noise and unconscious of the dan cer. Halloo, outside there !" now called out Miss Price, in aloud tone; "what are you trying to do ?" Break in, you witch !" cried out one of ihe robbers. 'Well, can't you wait for me to open the door 2" 'Not unless you're quicker about it!" 'Well I can't get that door open ; but t'other one is all right; come in that way will you ?" The pounding ceased, and a moment after a voice exclaimed: "Ah, here we are !' and as the door swung back a doz en men came crowding into the room. The foremost had just barely cot a glimpse of our heroine sighting her rifle and was in the act of springing aside to escape being shot, -when she fired the whole charge directly into the keg of powder, which instantly exploded with a tremendous report, tearing the wing to pieces, considerably shattering the main building, killing ten of the midnight marauders blowing heads, legs, arms and bodies in every direction. Of the five that now remained alive, two were wounded, and all so terribly frightened as to think nothing cf so much imnor- ance as a hurried flight from tLe s;ene of the disaster. The noble minded heroine herself was blown back across the kitchen, but for- unately was not killed, though seriously injured. Her sister found her in the darkness and confusion by her groans, and cared for her so tenderly afterwards that she finally recovered. The explosion was heard for miles a round; and the next day the news spread so rapidly, that before uight at least fifty or sixty people were gathered at the fatm, bosides a small body of American troopers; all cf whom assisted in collec ting and burying the dead villains, and t i i riearing a.vay me rubbish, and putting the hot.se into as comfortable a shape a possible tor the sisters who had resolved to remain where they were. On being questioned as to why she did not fire the powder by a train, instead of shooting into it, Miss Price replied, that she feared it might fail, and she preferred risking her own life to make 11 mm m tne tning sure ana thus save her sister and the children. Such noble heroism had many paral lels during the War of ihe Revolution- Flaln Speech to Mothers. Professor Simpson, of Edinburg, who has had large and long experience in the medical treatment of mothers and chil dren, gave a published address lately on matters of hygiene. He spoke most plain ly to mother who send their children to the grave by exposing arms and legs, while other parts of the body are warmly dressed. Mothers, he continued, commit child-tnurder, and then wonder how God could be so unkind as to take away their darling. They not only murder their children, but in his opinion commit sui cide themselves by exposing their own necks to the cold air. It was a puzzle which he could not understand, that wo man should cut ofTthe top of their dress es, and appear with bare bosoms in refined society, while that part of the dress which should protect the heart and lungs, and other vital organs, is trailing in the mud. Not to speak of health at the present moment, we would remark that the exhibition of a semi nude bust seldom approaches to the classical standard of harmonious proportions of parts and full ness of outline, and is rarely suggestive of beauty and loveliness. The inquisitive observer feels himself quite at a loss to know the precise line of division between the part which fashion claims for exposure C4 6 and the rest which modesty would conceal. The boundary is too changeable. More ought to be left to the imagination ana 1pv9 in b rnndpmned bv taste. But if raihers and full v - 2own daughters insist on bemsr the victims of fashion, children ought to be exempt from its insane and cruel requirements. What has fashion to do with children, or they with fashion? Philadelphia LcJger. Dry Goods. The total value of the goods usually classed under this heading arriving at ihis port in 1667 was only eighty six million dollars, against one hundred and twenty-six million for the year 1S66. To rai.se the value of thes amounts to green back currency, it is necessary to add 82 per cent. 50 percent, for duties and 35 for nremium3 on cold. To the?e misfit be added 15 more for freight, insurance and other charges ; making the currency cost of the goods just double what it appears to be. While the total landed at the port during the year was only eighty; million, the total thrown upon the market was 891,212,975, thowing a decrease of the stock previously left in bond of five million dollars. There are no charges in the prices of leading articles since our last quotations, wonh noting. Unbleached cottons of the better styles are firmly held, the supply not being excessive and the prospects of a rise in the price of the raw material leading to the conviction that an advance in fabrics will take place on the opening of the spring business. Bleached goods are in full supply, and prices do not show any tendency upward. Prints are a shade firmer in prioe, but the sales for the week have been very small. 3Iuslin de laines are in moderate demand, but the transactions are on a limited scale. In Italians there is a slight improve ment from the clothing manufacturers. Woolens of all descriptions are less active. The trade in foreign dry goods is not e . I hpl in a very sausiaciory conaiuon. inere is very little doing; the steamers bring but few invoices, and our large importers prudently hesitate to send our large orders until the prospects of 1S6S take a more definite shapa than they wear at present.

On the appearance of thesye symptoms, if tne patient is old enougn to do so, give a piece of gum camphor of the size of a marrow fat pea, and let it be retained in the mouth, swallowing slowly the saliva charged with it until it is all gone, in an hour or so give anutner; anu at the end of a third, a fourth will not usually be required; but if the pain and unpleasant breath are relieved it may be used two or three times more, at a little longer interval, say two or three hour.. If the child is young, powder the camphor, which can be easily done by adding a drop or two of spirits of alchol to it, and with an equal quantity of pow dered loaf suiiar, or butler, pDwdered rock candy, and blow it through a quill .1 .1 or lute into its throat, depressing tne tongue with a haft of a spoon.
