A Night of Adventures. I bare travelad Id my time over a great ; portion of tbe world, and bare bad vorne rather carious and e tcit log adventurer : i bat tbe moat remarkable of time, taking ' everything into coosideraliro, was tbe w- • . ilea which oecured one night at New Or- : Irani io tbe winter of 1803. I was visiting tbecity ooa trip of pieaa- ' I and had letter of Introduction to some . i three or four of the flrat famill** but 1 | arrived there a perfect stranger; pot op at one of tbe principal boleU, and thought I would anc a little of the town before mak- , iDg myself known to those wbo wouM be ■ bound by tbe rules of good breeding to ■ ] receive mo, al a friend. ; : With thil.Tiew I started out ooc even I ing for a walk; and baring pawed through I I some of tbe public thoroughfares. I found | myielf oe the borders of a locality that did ^ not loak particularly lnriting, tbe meets ; bring badly lighted, and tbe bourn and . tbe people indicating tbe quarter of the I poorer clam. 1 kept on. however, vorne i little dtrtancr, taking care out tolnae »i*ht ' of -the main ureal 1 had left, and * u oo the point of turning hack. when, from a ' dark alley, a little girl, poovly and thinly I c ad, came running toward me, crying ai , if bcr beart would break, r "What iv tbe matter, my child?" aid I. j : in a tone of compassion. ! Sbevtojiped and looked up at me, pre* tiling to my view, by , the light of a atmi- i lamp, a tearful face of great sweet mm J and beauty, and whose innocence I would - have vouched for. t "Ohf she sobbed "my poor mother, 1 fear, is dying' She has been 111 fora week, j and foe two days we have had nothing t" I eat. We have pawtied everything, awt I have started out to sue if I can get a little ' charily. I goes hard with me to ark it, | i sir, and I have vhrnnk from It till tbe lul 1 moment; and I am afraid it is too late. Oh. what will become of u«r Her voice was soft and sweet, brr Ian- , guage that of a child wbo had received the early training of a teflned mother, and all \ my sympathies were strongly enlisted in , her brhslf. • "If I woe certain, my child, that what • yon tell me is true, I would give you enough in make you comfortable tor the % present— that is, I mean, so far as money o can do it." • "Oh, if yon doubt me, sir, come and see J for yourself! It is but a atep:"sherrjoloed f in a pleading, agitated voice. ,r I kinked at tbe dark .alley and it* old, £ dilapidated, half tnmble-down bouaes.and I' hesitated. What If this should be a plot ■ to entrap tbe unwary and unsuspecting ? ' 1 looked again at the face of tbe little girl, a and at once discarded the suspicion a* uu- _ Jost. Either nature lied as I bad never lied I had

known nature to lie, or that little pitiful „ cieattm visa lonooeot of ooe single thonghi of wrong. Instinctively, however, I put my hand on a pistol as 1 said, "Lead oo, [ ■child ! I will follow you 1" f She caught hold of my band with an , impulsive "God bless you, sir!" sr.d , hurried me forward through tbe dark alley f into * darker court, and tbenoe into an bid | building, up one flight of starts, and back , to a small room that contained not a single ray of light. I stopped at the door, but , the little girl ran in, exclaiming. "Ob, t mother, mother! Heaven baa tent ua a | good, kind gedtlrman wbo will keep us , from starving, and perhaps let me get a , doctor for yon! Oh. yon mustn't die, dear , mother— yon mustn't die!-yon shall not die now!" , A feeble groan was succeeded by a faint. a hollow voice, which said. "Where is the , gentleman, Nelly ?" f "Beier said I. stepping iolo tbe rooen. , "Cheer up, my good woman! All that mobry can do to make you comfortable t •hall be doe*. Bete, my child," continued j thrusting my band Into my pocket and , bringing out a number of coioa— probably , both gold and silver, though it was too dark la see — "take this and run and get , "what you most need now, among tbe rest | a candle. I will remain here untifl yon , Mora." i "Oh, Heaves Man you. Mif sobbed | tbe liute girl, si I'pat tbe onatesu of my hand into her*; and to this was addsd a , , feeble "Amen!" from the poor mother. , I Tbe child bounded away, and I beard . her little feet pattering downlhe stairs. , , "Are yon seriously ID with any disease, madam?" I inquired of tbe poor sufferer; "or does your sickness result from being < deprived of the necessaries of life?" "Ah.' sir!" groaned the poor woman, •1 " ' Her words were cut abort by s wild, I piercing scream, opining from below, fol lowed by a cry of "Murder! murder! ; Help! help! help!" Impulsively I sprung out of tbe room, . down the stain, and back Is another room on the lower floor, where I perceived tbe gllmMer of a light through a partly -opened this apartment, I hounded In, without ' healtatTuo, and was Immediately clutched by s woman with a disordered drees and . disheveled hair, and whose ejtw seemed ' blinded by tbe blood- streaming from a , large gash acnes her forehead. I had - only time to ate this much, and that there - was a man springing back wtlh a bloody knife in Us band, when the light was suddenly dashed out, and tbe man seemed to retreat Ihrougtna dear oo the other side , of tbs room. Tbe waman,erideatly under the impression that she had got boh of her tbe grip of death, crying: "Quick, quick ! I have him! Murder! murder I -help! help!" As every succeeding word grew faiuter and mere faint, till the last one bad a - evident to me thai tbe poor woman was either dying or swooning; and as her bold of me Was in no degree relaxed to oomr. 3 pond wtlh the fetblenens of her. voice, 1 of death. j Bore. lhec,wai a stiuslian fur e strange! •iisiSSSil

woman should not live to testify-there would be the snspldoc. the arrest, the the prison, tbe examination, the ' inquest, the trial perhaps, and lost, hot : not least, tbe public report of tbe prees.lo : which my name would be sent far sad - near with the stigma attached. All this, which flashed upon my mind like lightning, filled me with an lodescri. • table dread and horror, and prompted me ' to make my escape as If actually guilty of Already I beard numerous steps and 1 voices, from different quartern, hurrying tip to the scene, and in another moment ' my fate might he sealed. ' 1 must escape— It would be endorse to remain— sod without s moment's hesitation I tore myseU from Lhe grasp of the 1 » Oman, whose body fell heavily upon the 1 floor, but whether In llfs oe death I eooid I Dot tell. 1 I sprang across tbe room for the door I through which I supposed tbe real our. 1 derer had escaped; and jutt as I bad eucr cteded In flqdlng it. esroe two or time I pt-raoos lutfat into the apartment with s ' light. and allowing the flrat cries of horror.

Orer tbis I went in tbe same e manner; and as I struck tbe ground 1 was • seized by a fierce dog, which buried his II teeth in my boot. Like lightning I drew - one of my pltiols. and with ll struck him a fearfnl I (low oo tbe bead. He let go his '• bald with s yelp sod howl of pain, and. c making speedy use of my liberty, I was " over tbe opposite fence in leva time than n it lakes roe to tell of it. I now found myself clear of all tbe 11 yards, and In a dark, narrow, filthy alley, u tdit with -the cries of my pursuers ringing '' from different quarters, dogs harking all y around, and windows being hurriedly thrown up and eager questions shouted • out by lhe alarmed inmates of the numer. d Otis dwellings. I did not Bop a moment to coosider, but ran down the alley, and '■ hoping to throw nil new parties from tbe ld right auapicioe. I "shouted, "Stop, mur- • derer!

Quick as thought I struck him in the face with the tn which 1 held my pistol, and down dropped like * log, and oo I went, w shouting, "Stop murderer! Slop thief!" u By this time there was s perfect roar af n voices behind, tbe whole town seemed to a in cummotiou, and a number joined ree a i be bne and cry, little dreaming that 1 it tbe pereoo those behind were seeking, u and they ps little dreaming they were in a pursuit of nn Innocent man- c Tha rapid increase of numbers increawd u safety; and as soon as I found myself s surrounded by a large mob, I gradually k slackened my pace, as If yielding to I fstiguc.sDd Urns permitted the mure eager a to get ahead of me. [ In tbis way we all kept oe, past several i of booses, till we came to an open c place on the right, when, thinking to get s clear o i the danger and tha crowd at the I tame ttuse, I turned off. • But now. too late, I diaoorcred I had t only increased my peril, by attracting r particular attention to myself; and the 1 | shout ot— There be goes! Stop thief stop t tbiarf!" caused roe to bound forward like s I ' hare. « In then Mays I was young, slender and I i a fleet runner; and both my life and repo- ' tat ion being at slake, I made the beat ■ ! passible use of my h mho. and to aurh good I effect that ! gradually gained upon the < ■ foremost af tbe yelling crew. 1 , In this manner I came to n high wdU. 1 ' That •ecsuad Io shut la the garden of some I private mansion; and as 1 could not scale ' i It, I kept aioog its base, till I came to s I gate, which fortunately forme waseligbtly > . ajar, having been opened by the block i porter to am what was going oo, and wbo 1 ! was BOW standing within n few fact of it. 1 and looking wondcringly at the approach. • * ing crowd. 1 He did not,from soma cause, particular, i s ly notice me till 1 was in the act of enter- ' ' ing. when, with a loud yell, be made an 1 1 effort to Intercept me.

Before he could reach tbe gate 1 had 1 sprung through, dosed it, and shot the 1 bolls; nod as I still ran on through the 1 grounda,beoeatha delightful orange grove. > 1 beard tbe human tide surge up around ' the walls, with load cries of diappointe meat and rage. r I was now camparativety safe, and I * determined, as my beat course, to eater d the ssauaiac. and to appeal to the Inmates * to ease me from tha mob, even at the risk * of their refusing to credit my truthful ' story sad subsequently giving me up to >> the officers of tbe law. Aa 1 approached the boose, soma three '■ or four servants, who had heard tbe sbouu of the excited mob, and bad coma out to * gueaa, rather than ace, what the matter was, called to me, evidently mistaking me J In the darkness for tbe porter or some one d "What it It, Jim— whet is itT "Run down to the (ale if you want to tea some fun."

I Al the flrat sound of my voice tbe lady . looked up in startled wonder, and by the ! lima I hod ceased, had risen to bcr feet, f sod now Mood before me as pale and beautiful as s sculptured Venus. ) "Who are you, sad what docs nil tbis . mean?" abe blandly but firmly Inquired, t In t few words si I could 1 told her all that bad happened alnce leaving my hotel, j "A strange story!" the rejoined, looking . at my disordered dress, and evidently r with oo small degree of suspicion. r An idea flashed opoo me. 1 "Madam." said L "to prove that 1 am not an Impostor, though s stranger In the r city, permit me to call your attention to . there letters of intredoctluo. addressed to . some of the flrat families here, and of e whom it is highly probable, from your I exalted position, you bare aome knoal- . edge." f Baying this. I produced tbe letters, I which I bad fortunately taken out with i, me, and banded tbem to her. At the maL aopemcriptioo. I taw her eye brighten, and the cecond letter sbo opened quickly nod e read eagetly, with a slight change of 4 color. g "This is to my father, from an old and j valued friend," she ssid, with s smile, j coming forward, and offering roe bet e htnd. "In hia absence permit me, Mr. „ Warrington, to welcome yon to our dwellt ing, though for your own anke, I could e wish your entree had been more agreeable j "A more oprevuile surprise I certainly , could never have had!" was my reply, as ( I bowed to my beautiful and tascinstiug n bosten,and felt tbe while as if a mountain IB of trouble was lifted from my beart. I Well, I was saved. When, an hour .. after, the police rang the bell, and made „ inquiries concern ing a fugitive murderer, oo audi persootge was known to any in i(. the mansion. On tbe return of tbe other fj members .of the family from the opera, g wither they had gone previous to my II singular arrival, tbe story of my adventure* J was toW, and was received with both j sympathy and mirth. 1 remained over r. night, and the next day my baggage was ,1 sent for and myself booked as a guest for d the seaaoe— and a gay and brilliant on it x proved to me. r. The poor little girl and bcr mother were if cared for, and tbe real murderer of the woman was found, tried and executed. , I have but Doe thing more to say cwneeralw the* adreoturee. Tbe lady who \

On tbe picturesque range of Cliostcr | hills that rise nobly above the water* of B the hirtoric Brandywioe. two and aTiulf mile* from Cbadd's Ford, is s spot ptojJ inenl in Revolutionary tiroes ss the recoe of Lord Howe's succraaful rout of General J Washington's army in September, 1777. Situated upon tbe highest eminence of II these hills is the village of Falrvllle, s hamlet of less than a hundred inhabitants, * principally composed of the denomination of Friends. Tbe Keooett pike — the high road to Wilmington — passes through the quiet village. The dwellings mostly front no H,l«avlng a clear foreground toil in excellent view toward the west, from whence o tbe setting sun floods tbe hill summits with crimson light. A modest three-story brick bouse, tbe plainest and tbe most modern in the villl_ age sod in its surroundings the coziest and most comfortable nt tbem nil, crowns the steep ascent by which Fairville is reached . on the road from the railroad station. In t this dwelling lives one who has the regret (j to be tbe last dccendanl of tbe De Foe . family in A merles. This if James Triml( ble, upon whom I had occasion to call a few evenings since. d Me Trimble was bora in Nottingham, r Cecil county, Maryland, in March, 1793, ' thus placing bim in the eigbty-firth year ' of his sgCu^lg- Trimble is a lineal descend sot of Elizabeth Maxwell, daughter o! Daniel Defoe's widowed slaer, who . came from England to this coo try in 1725 and married and sett led at tbe above place. , In his earlier years Mr. Trimble developed ' a remarkable taste for botanical studies, " which attracted tbe attention of llie noted 'g Dr. Darlington, ot West Chester, stjilcli 10 soon led Into "Ultimate acquaintanceship " gentleman in tbe botanical research of tic ' surrounding country. At this period Mr. Trimble was quoted as "being able to c designate by its botanical name any wild ir plant that grew in Cecil or Chester *' counties." Mr. Trimble, until a few years since, pursued tbe vocation of farming. " retiring from tbe pastoral labors and toils be took up bis residence in this villiga " A short time ago be presented to the " Friends' Society of Philaddphis a rate copy of "Cbnrelimau't Concordance of the Bible,", a vol n rue of valueandmcrit.lt being bequeathed to bim iu 1804 by a ™ granddaughter of Its author, John Churchman, the Friends' minister. Accompanying tbe present were some persons! reminiscences of the author's family by Mr. "

Trimble, extract* TromYffrtcb have lately * been published in the regular editions of tbe Friend. In 1878 Mr. Trimble presented to tbe ' Historical Society at W limingooc of two chain that belonged to tbe T study furniture of DeFoc's sister, which ^ be used while there is biding from arrest ^ for issuing seditions pamphlets and oUx r papers during the exciting times of 1705. The* chairs were sent, with other foraltore, to Mrs. Maxwell upoo the death < f mother, a short lime after Kttllcg In this country. They had previously been banded down in tbe family as heirlooms and souvenirs, having came with the De . Foe family Into Englaod from Fland.Tf, whUe they were fleeing from the presecu. '' tioo of Philip IV. At the lime Mr. Trim- , ble presented the chair to the Historical Society ScHtner i ltmOly (May, 1876) give s lengthy desaripiion of ll and lu feflowrwlso an accurate pbntngraph of it. Mr. Trimble kindly allowed an inspeclion o! the remaining chair In bis poaaosios, and It can ooly be said that to tbe eye j of one unaccustomed to seeing antique furniture of the fifteenth or sixteenth centuries It appeared to be a very curious ' sod novel piece of workmanship. Tbe J wood Is similar io color to that of ebony ^ and apparently aa hard. The carving and vine-work is well exreuted'snd it preserred almost in iu original uxuliuoe.ezoept having the Chinese wicker-work oo the 1 seat wore out, which was replaced by the ' ' author Defoe, wbo used It afterward while writing "Kobioson Crusoe" and other productions. The chair. In shape, | has a very high, straight and narrow back, ' to us a positiuu of unoomfort. ID. Tritn- ' ble contemplates presenting this cbsir to ' ' some historical, society in Pcnnsylusnis shortly. Mr. Trimble is now engaged in | ' Ate revision of some rare old manuscript ' which be ltat: silo, in writing the history ' of several noted Cecil county families with whom be had persona! acquaintance in former years. '

Un Trimble lives and shares the booort of ber husband, wbo, outside of his ' genealogical reputation, enjoys, a local notoriety as an astrooomer of no mean ' ability.
