arrest Blanerhasset. He had hardly set
foot on the Island before he was met by
Mrs Blanerhasset, whose courage and
spirit seemed to rise with the increasing
desperation ofher fortunes. She had seen
the party coming, and snatchlng up Pair
Of her husbands brass pistols. she ran
from the house to meet them. Just as the
militia major stepped out oGathe boat, she
seized him by the shoulder, and thruslinng
him back, presented two formidable pis'
tolls full in his face, cooked aiH primed,
commanding him in the most positive tone
not to advance, "one step forward, and
shall send you into eternity,-it is easier
fDr me to do than say it," we're her words.
according to my narrator, who was one OF
the party. Her splendid figure, drawn up
to its full height, her eyes fixed with a
stern and determined gaze, her hands
clenching firmly the pistols, which she
held out at arms length, told the militia
major, in language not to be mistaken, the
terms on which he might advance. The
old fellow quailed and trembled before the
courageous woman, and was forced to re-
turn without his victim.


BIanerhasset made his escape: and IS
now living with his wife in poverty IN
France. He brought over to this country
large amount of money, part OF which
he invested in his island, but much the
greatest part he loaned out to individuals
living in the vicinity. Being forced te
flee, without delay, from this country, tc
escape the indictments levied against him
he had no time to collect his debts. he
left large amounts in the hands of individ
uals who have never returned cent.


Many men near Marietta have grown
rich on money borrowed Of, but never re-
paid to Blanerhasset. Would it not be an
object OF humanity and charity for Blaner'
hasset's debtors, now that they are made
wealthy by his liberality, in this day o
destitution and distress, to refund his mon
ey, and TO raise him up from the want an


wretchedness in which he is plunged,
comfortable independence. NJ
