They arrived at Stony Brook, near Smith town, and marched to Mr. Jones' residence, whore thoy arrlvod at about 9 o'clock on the ovoning of tho fith. Thero was a ball In the house, and tho noise of tho dnuclng and music prevented tho approaching company being noticed.

Captain Hawloy knocked at the door, and getting no response forced it in and found Judge Jonos standing in tho ontry. He was instantly seized and marched off. When ho attempted to attract tho attention of a guard of aoldlor stationed nonr tho house ho was threatened with dire consequences and desisted. The Americana with thoir prisoner concealed themselves during the day, aud on the third night they reached their boat, taking two additional prisoners on tho way. Crossing the Sound thoy reached Black Rook, and Judge Jones was lakou to the resldenco of Mrs.

It was a long time beforo the British would consent to oxchanco General Sllllman forjudge Joues, but it was finally ofloctod by tho Amorlcans agrooing to include ono Washburn, a notorious refugee. Among the American prisoners lu the County of Kings during tho Hovolution was ono Captain Marriuor.

GROSUHi'iL, ISS Slate st. HLEN ISJjAND. wmcn mtgnc do preseniea. ji aa i nrotn. yiv some systematic effort has not been made lo dosig nato tho historic places in the village.

Old residents, of course, know where the old Court House stood, the site of tho little red schoolhouaa and whero tho houso atood that tho British punctured with port holes for their cannon at the battle of Long Island. But strangers would like to know these facts also. A neat sign, an engraved plate or other appropriato designation would be appreciated by tho Iovors of the historic and would, I think, stimulate the rising generation with a greater de sire to preserve the ancient landmarks.

B. RAILROAD TRAVEL. JjOag Deferred Improvements tJnder taken by Uio Now Management ot Now York, New Haven aud Harlferd. Railroad consolidation goes forward at a rapid pace JUBt now In Now England und tho Bltuation Is particularly interesting. In Connecticut the now management ot tho New York, New Haven and Hnrttord hae made marked Improvements.

When It undertook tlio direction the road had Incurred much crItiolaM for indifference to public domauds. It has changed the policy and attitude of the road and has announced a disposition to consider fairly every reasonable request of tho traveling public. Thoro has boon a reorganization of the staff and a consolidation of the various leased branches in tho gonoral system, under oue common control. Tho development and Improvement of all this property the management is pushing as fast as possible. Already sufficient work has been mapped out to keep everybody busy two years.

Four tracks are being laid, tho road is Deing owjuo ballasted, grados reduced and tracks straightened. Greater motlvo power Is in process of provision. More modern and comfortable pasongor cars aro be ing Introduced, and all along the Hue attractive stations are olther bolng built or aro about to bo built. In order to achieve the object of making this the Pennsylvania Road of Connecticut," tho management promises that its plans will not bo curtailed by considerations of oxpenso. Largo sums of money havo already boon paid out and groat numbers of mon employod In tho work of four tracking that portion of the road which lios in New York State.

During tho last Summer gangs of men havo beau continually busy on this work aud ou this account, the management insists with no fault of its own, Its customers havo beon obliged to suffer considerable inconvenience aud undorgo the torture of traveling on a dusty road bod. Furthor luconvonlenco has necessarily occurred from tho work at grado crossings along tho road. Eighteen of these, situatod In New York Stato, tho company has abolished or Is takiug tiio necessary preliminary stops to abolish, so that whoh tho work is completed there will not bo a single grade crossing loft on the main lino.

On this tho young conplo seutod themsolvos face to face and Joinod liauds. Tho horse waa Btartod and tho wedding trip bogan. At times either tho groom or brldo was unceremoniously spilled on tho grass. Other amusements wero oarriad on during tho day and ovoning, aud at night there was a grand display of fireworks.

It lanot strango that the French Capital possesses such varied attractions for strangers with its foliage lined boulevardB, beautiful gardens and numerous fountains.

Nothing is laoklng In the line of amusements, opera bolng given throe tlmoa a week and pieces, diverse in cbaraetor, produced overy night In sevouty uve thoatora.

Open air concerts are alao provided on Champs Elysees and military band muBlc at the Gardon of tho Tuillerlea, Palais Royal Garden and othor places. In the line of art no othor city on tho continent offers euch attractions, abounding In galleries of painting, sculpture and museums. The public havo free access to thoso art corners filled with the best examples of ancient mastors and invaluable modern works. French sculpture can bo studied through the numerous monuments erected In churches; artistic tosto ovorywbere exhibited In bronze aud tape3trles of exquisite designs from the UobolluB.

One can obtain a good blrdsoyo view of this city from the summit of Notre Dame Cathedral, tho Pantheon, or Troeader our party selecting the latter point. Taking au olovator to the top, at a height of 300 feet, a clear atmospere revealed to us tho various cathedrals and public buildings, the Seine In its tortuous course and tho suburbs of Paris. Descending to the garden aud Champ do Mars, our courier pointed out the groat tower, now being erected for tho exposition of 1889. This, whon computed, will form ono of tho highest towors in the world, 1,000 feet In height, and to cost about halt a million of dollars. It will rest on four pillars, to be supported by an arch 150 feet high in tho center.

Benjamin Ih Silliinau An Interesting Letter. It was just 111 years ago, in the month of August that the crack of the enemy's rlllo ami the boom ot his canuou wero hoard in tho quiet and peaceful precincts of Flatbush. On tho day of August, 1776, tho iJricish troops landed at llatii. General Howe establishing his headquarter at Mew Utrecht A rogimoiit of Stationed along the coast rotroatc.l to Flatbusti with he Idea of guarding tho principal pass to Brooklyn. It was Lord Corn wall Is who advanced upon Flatbush and oucampod In thy vlliag i on tho toning of tho 22ud.

On the ovoning of August 3IS, al 9 O'clock, tho vanguard of lh British Army, uiuler General Clinton; tho comer, eonsiatlris of thogiona fliere, artillery and cavalry, under Lord Percy, and the roar guard under Lord Corn wa! lis, inovod from FlatbHsh toward Flatlands. Thoy wero liC eis hy Captain Cornelius Vandorveor, of Flatbush, who stated that though ho was near tho fonco fronting his house on tho road, lie could scurcoly hoar thuin, BO quietly aid this large body of mou move. Tlioy proceeded to Flatlauda villago and theuco to what, is now tho Howard House. Tho Hank movement to Bedford and Its disastrous consequences to tho American Army in tho battle of Long Island are too familiar to need repeating here. Mrs.

Vandor bllt, In her history of Flatbush, gives tho following Morj told her by au agod lady who was a girl of HI when the events occurred which she narrates. This lady died some forty Qvo yoars ago. Tito story is Invaluable as history because it Is the testimony of an eye witness: Tbe morning on which tho British troops landed was ono of tho lovolioat wo had that Summer. The ally was bo clear and bright that you could scarcely think of It as a day that was to bring so much sot row. Father was very foeble lie died of consumption at the cIobo of tho war and as wo had no hrotliora to protect us, wlien tho uows renclio us that tho enemy was advancing mother resolved to go to a cousin's, some milos eastward.

Accordingly the great farm wagon was brought to the door and such articles as could be oaaily removed wore placed lu It. Coesar, our faithful old negro Borvant, woh instructoJ to take his little gt. unison, Cnto, and drive tho cattle to tho woods beyond tho lane, while Mink, his stalwart son, was set to watch tho premises and. If possible, protect them, lioloro those arrangements woro completed the rumor reached us that the otiomy was approaching. Tho whole village was In commotion.

Nothing as yet was seen of tho troops. Women and children wero running liilhor and thither. Wen on horseback were riding about lu nil directions. Farmers might be seen cloaulug up their rilles and half grown boys practising shoollue at a murk. As 1 stood near our wagon, which was being loaded, I could Bee the old Lmtch school mas tor open tho door i.f tho little red school house, Tho boys rushed out With a shout, liltlo dreaming what a long Tacation they wore to Iiiito.

The advancing army was Just beyond tho hills. There was an almost luceBsaut liring lu that direction. An Introhchment had been thrown up in Flatbush a llttlo south of us, and a small redoubt on which a few pleoos of artillery woro mounted was put up at tho north of us. (This was the spot now Battlo Paaa.) Cousin Jacobus lived about two iiii.es eastward, just as wo were about to start old Belly oamolu. She was tho wife of tho Insd chief of tho Canarsie tribe of Indians ana had brought aomo herbs for fathor's cough, tilio gave us Information rogardiug tho enemy whicn lod us to hasten our departure.

Tho very (lrt thing put into tho wagon was tho great Dutch Bible, with its huge brass clasp and brass corners. Then tho little stand waa broueht on which this heavy Biblo always rested. Tho old Dutch clock was curofuliy lifted in utid BOmo one or two articles of furniture and our clothing. Thehoreos woro getting very restive under tho uriug. When wo got started father called a halt to giro this parting admonition to C'ffisar: "lou know nil our year's grain is stackod in tho east lot.

Croar, If you can got thorn to spn.ro It it would be well, but I am afraid It will bo burned to save its fnll lngiulothehaudBOftho British." Oli.dunrl We never bad a moro bountiful harvest. It was Into in the afternoon when wo reached tho farmhouse of Cousin Jacobus. That evouing a bright light, as of a largo fire, Bhono westward against tho sky, and tho next morning a heavy smoke brooded over our village. Father took a stout cane to lean on and my sister and I helped him to climb an ominenee which commanded a viow in that direction. "I think tho fire Is directly In tho lino of our house," ho said.

Wo girls said many encouraging things and would not bellevo In disaster, for wo woro young and happy, tho tky was bright, tho birds woro singing all around us. Wo did not know thou that to tho westward. Just in the woods whore as children wo had played there wero heaps of dead and dying. i oaid: "1 am afraid, children, that the old homestead Is burned," ami ho was right. When, aftor tho battle of Long Island, wo returned home, beforo we reached the village we could see the tall old Irooa that had stretched their urms so ovor our roof wore all charred and blacked ty tho flames, and the old homestead was burned to iho ground.

Following tho battle Flatbush was in tho hands Of the Brilljh until nearly tho closo ot the war. When the British' troops had eaptured New York and the army had loft Long Island, tho residents of Flatbush bogan to return. Some were "absent but for a fow days, while others did not reach their homos until Midwinter. A very sad Bceno was presented to llioso who roluruo.l Immediately after the battle. Tho place usod for au encampment waastrotvii with foaihors, straw, papors and pieces of furuituro taken from tho houses, and piles of ashes marked tho place whore boforo a pleasant homo had stood, whilo the stroot, from disuse and frequent rains, had bocomo overgrown with weeds and grass.

Scattered about wore tho ot hogs, which had boon killed, us well as ueads of cattle with thoir horns on em. Inside tho house3 tho condition of things was no bettor. Much of the furniture WR broken and almost everything of valuu injured. Foathor beds had boon ripped up aud thoir contents thrown into wells. Komo of tho best rooms of tho houses had boon used as stables for the horses.

While the cupboards aud closots bad served as feeding troughs for animals. Malos were required to take the oath of nllogiaiico.whicli was ndniluknurod In tho church, Tho church and the old school bouse woro used for tho accommodation of tho prisoners and tho sick. The principal hospital for tho Boldlers was tho old Bchool linuac. When, in 1776, the movoments of tho liritHli troops Indicated an aggressivo campaign, tho farmers on the west end of Long Islaud wero ordered to drive away their cattle and take their grain which hud recently been catherod aud stnek It in the field, in order that it might be burnt to prevent its falling into tho hands of the enemy. The cattle In Flatbush were driven as far oast as tho woods about Now Lots, and eubsequeutly into (iuoena County.

of the stacks Ot grain woro burned, but a fow of them were saved. Among tho American troops about Flatbush opposing the advance of tho British was a Connecticut battalion, uuder command of Coloito! Gold S. Silli man, grandfather of Mr. Benjamin D. Sllllman, ono of tho best known of Brooklyn's eminent mon.

A numberof letters from this gallant Revolutionary soldier aro on rocord, and they Bhow him to hnvo been a man of great military ardor and to havo borne tho hardships of a soldier's life with groat equanimity. Here is one addressed to his wife: Flatt Bush, on Long Island, Aug. 25, lTTfi. 1 wrote you yesterday morning from Brookliuo upon a Drum Head in tho field as I do now, whicli I hope you will roceivo this day. Havo not bo much as a bear skiu to lie on, only my blanket to wrap mo in, for our removals from placo to place ore so quick and suddon that wo can Iiiito no opportunity nor means to convoy bods, but go only with tho cloaths on our backs and our blankets and a little ready cookod victuals.

1 am now posted within half a mile from tho Uogulars with my liegt. under the cover of a woody hill to stop thoir paseago into the Country. There are a number of Kogts posted all around tho town Within about tho amo distance for tho samo purpose Tho regulars keep up an almost constant Are from their cannons mortars at some or othor of us, but ueithor shott uor shell has eomo near my Rogt yet and they are at too groat a distance to fire muskets at us yot. 1 havo a scouting party going out now to see If they cant pick up omo or got something from thorn. Icnmototbis post this day at twelvo o'clock shall remain hero till this time to morrow if Ood pnros my life with no othor covering than the trees.

I cant ioarn anything with respect to thorn different from what I wroto you yos torday. The rest of their troops and their ships Ho at Staton Island yot to wait the success of this part of their army, as I eupposo before thoy make auy othor attempt. They havo wounded In all of our men In 3 days' skirmish about 8 or 9 men ono or two mortally, which is near half tho number that we hare killed for tliein, beside wounded. In 1779 Colonol Sllllman had risen to tho rank of malor general and waa a prisoner in tho hand3 of the British and quartered at Flatbush. Tlio inci dont connected Willi his capture is dramatic and Well worth telling hero.

Ho had been appointed by tho Governor and Council of Connecticut superintendent ot tho coast of Fairllold. In May, 1779, Sir Henry Clinton direttod a small company of refugees to cross tho Sound in a whule boat from Lloyd's Nock and ondoavor toniako him a prisoner. In the company was a man nnmod Glover, who had been in General Sitllman's employ aud kuow tho llOUBO and its surroundings. Nino persons made up the crow of the boat. Ono waa left nt tho Bhoro and the othor eight proeedod stoalthlly on thoir errand.

Tho family woro awakened by a furious noise at the door. The general sprang out of bed, raised his muskot and approached tho door. A ho passed the window he saw tho mon and at ouco comprehended their design. Ho mado an nttompt to flro, but his muskot only flashed. At that instant th asBailunt3 broke through tho wludow and eelzod him, demanding his surrender.

They permitted him to dross and, after taking a fuoo, a pair of pistols and a sword, thoy proceoded to the shore and crosEod to Loug iBland, As thoy approached the shore Colonel Sim coe, the commanding officer, who was waiting for "Havo you got him?" Thoy answered "Yes." "Hare you lost any "No." "That is well, your Silllmans are not worth a man, nor your Washlugtona." General Billi ttan's eldost son was takon with him. Tho prisoners were orderod to tho guard houao, but on tho remonstrance of the sohoral bettor quartors woro provided. They wero takon tho next day to New York City In a carriage, carefully gunrdod by dragoons. A largo body of people gatherod to gaze ntthem. They remalnod in Now York City for a tlmo and wore then soiit to Flatbush.

Goneral Sllllman was quartored In tho house of Garret Van Duyn, whose house stood on the road running from FlatbuBh to New Utrecht. His son, of tho same name, was for many yoars connected with tho Loug Islaud Bank. Ho woro a broad brimmed bat and Is well remembered by many Brooklyn people. Ho was fond of tolling of tho lime when Major General Gold 8. Sllllman was a prisouor at his father's house, and how be sat on hfs knee, played with his Wnt' 'b chain and lookod at his watch.

At this time thoro was no priionor lu the hands of tho Americans oqual in rank to Gonoral Silllmnn, 80 tho Yankoo put their heads together and deter mined to procure one. Hon. James Jonos, of Fort Ueok, fOng loland, a Juttlco of tho Supremo Court of the Provinco of New York, was tho man selected.

BER2I. 'Wra boarding pupils received In tlio family. 254 Proaidenbst. squad to each house. Thoy oach carried a heavy post, which was to bo used for battering in tiiedoors.lt was ugre.ed that whoa Iho party aligned to Colonol Axtell's, wdio lived the furthest from tho church, should Blrike, the others would follow suit.

Captain Marriuer selected tho houso where ho knew his friend, Major Moncrief, was quartered. Tho flrst stroke at this dour warned tho major, aud ho ran up to the garret and hid himself bohiud tho chimney. Says Marriuer in his account of the affair: I entered hlo room and finding his bod warm 1 ordered Aunt to bring a candle. Wo ran to tho garret and found our izo shivering behiud tho large Dutch chimney, witli his brooches In his hands. Wo took him to the church, our place of rendezvous, where we put ou his pmall clothes.

Major Boaoli and Colonel Shorbrook wore also captured, but Colonol Axtell and.Coionel Mntthows escaped, being that night In Now York. Tho several parties having reassembled nt tho church, they marched lo their boat entirely unmolostod, notwithstanding the fact that it was a beautiful moonlight lligitC lu Mklstimmor. It will bo aeon from the above that Captain Marriuer was a bold follow, but this was not his only ad venture on Long Island, llohad a in Iho person of Captain Hyler, who landed at Cauarsio aud captured a sergeant's guard from tho houso of thoir captain, Schenck. Tho guards were at supper and thoir muskets wore standing in tho ball, when Hyler and his mon entered and, seizing ail the arms and valuables they could carry, old uio guarna report. 10 Lio nel Axtell at Flatbush and then departed with their booty.

Hyler was tho iioro of another exploit which is too good to bo omitted. It was nothing less than tho capture Coney Island Hay of a British cor vetto mounting twenty guns. The ship lay at anchor, bound for Halifax, to complete her crow. About 9 o'clock on a dark night ono of Hylera boats, with muffled oars, was rowed up close under tho stern of tho ship, when the officers were soeu at a g.imo of cards in the cabiu, and no watch ou dock. Tho spy boat then fell astern to hor consort and reported, when order1; woro passed to board.

The boats approached silently, the ship boarded instantly from both sides, not a miU being injured. The officers wore con fined in the cabin tho crow below. Captain Hyler ordered lli to bo takon out of the ship well fettered and placed in bis boats. Afterward a fow artielos wero taken out of tho ship and she was set on fire. Thou those bold follows rowed acrosB tho bay and up the Harltan Kivor to New Brunswick, N.

J. Benjamin V. Thompson, in his history of Long Island, states that a man who was ono ot Captain Hylor's party told him that the captain of tlie corvette wept as thoy were crossing the bay and I reproached himsslf for permitting one of his Majesty's sbipe to bo surprised and takon "by two eggshells," end ho added that thero were i 10,000 ou board the burning vossol, which Captain Hyler and his crow deserved for thoir gallant enterprise. This booty, however, must still bo nt the bottom of Coney Island Bay, for if was not recovered. During tho war a regiment whicli had been takou prisouor In the We3t Indies, and which camo from Waldeck, Germany, was billeted upon tho inhab itants of Flatbuih.

They bohaved woll aud committed no depredations. A member of this regiment namod Kaymond, Who deserted with tho intention of Joining tho American causo, was recaptured aud sout back to Flatbush. A very severe puiil8hment waa inlllcted, which was callod run ning the gauutlot. Ilia back was barod and bis regiment waa drawn up in open file, and Raymond was obliged to pass through, when each man gave him a cut with a whip. At tho ond of oach turn a Bergeant passed through the linos with a fresh sup ply of whlpa.

This was enactod ten timos, but, sovoro as the punishment was, it failod to cure Raymond of his desire to Join tho Americau cause. for he again desorted, and this lime safely roachod our lluoB. In Philadelphia, when his story became known, he was regarded aa a hero. Flatbuah was occupied by several different commands during the Revolutionary War, but thoro came a timo when all the troops wore noedod In the Hold. Then Colonel Axtoll, a notorious aud very offensive Tory.orgauizcd the Nassau Bluos.

They woro bucIi disreputable chaructors that they were called tho Nasty Blues by tho Flatbushors. Through the commendablo action of Dr. llomor L. Bartlett, of Flatbush, tho house formerly occupied by Colonol Axtoll, lias boon preserved as a historic rolic It is a rumbling structnro twoatorios and a half high, with wiugs ou cither end, and was orected by Colonol Axtoll in 1719. It la built cf timber hewn out by hand and shingled.

Tho roof steep, Jutting In Innumerable ways presouls a marked contrast to tho roundod gambrel roofed mansions round about. The interior of tho houso corresponds in fantastic design with the exterior. Tho old fashioned front door ia divided in two, horizontally, with a massive brass knocker on the upper half, admitting Into a broad hallway. Ou otto uhlo an arched doorway opens into tho diningroom, on iho other is a reception room; whiio those again cotnmunicato with the kitchen iu one wing aud the ballroom Li tiio othor. In tho hail you notice a closet with glass doora; by touching a hidden spring tho whole closet swings on lis hiugos and admits you to a secret passago which lias openings in nearly every room In tlio house.

In heavy oaken mantel of tho ballroom is a sliding panel whicli gives access to a staircase concealed iu the aniplo cliim noy, which loads to a large room above. This has become known as this haunted chamber. It is claimed lliat strange sounds aud lights, footfalls, moans aud walls have boon heard to issqgp from It. Thero are dungeons lu tho cellar which also communicate, with other parts of the houso by trap doors aud Bocrot stairways. Ia those dun goons it Is claimed human bonoa nnd bits of chain havo been found, whicli accounts for tho narao, tlio Iluuatod Houso, which has boon given to it.

Colonol Axtell usod to glvo wookly dinner pariioa to his Tory friends from all tho country round. It waa to this houao that ono of Cnptaiu Marrinor's parties came and wero obliged lo depart without their victim. Colonel Axtoll and his frionda may havo boon lu Now York aa atatod, or ho may havo been concoalod In ono of tho socret chambors of the mansion. Dr. Bartlett relates the following aa ono of tlio legonds of the place: When Colonol Axtell camo to America ho brought with him, beside his wife, hor sister, a youug woman, who atted as a companion.

It Is Bald that sho foil hopelessly in love witli her brother iu law, and a rornautlc story Is 4oid of hor following him to tho French and Indian War, aud rescuing him from death by almost a miracle, aud whon tho houso was built iu Flatbush ho began to return hor affection. Ho planned for her accommodation tho chamber over tho ball room, with its secrot passages. Here sho la said to have lived for several years, tho secrot of hor retreat being known only to Colonel Axtell and a dovotod slave woman, who carried food to tho voluntary nriaonor. The tlmo enmo whon tlio colonel wns cailol away from homo, and during his absence the Blnve woman died. No food was takon to tho prisoner in the socrot chamber over the ballroom and rather than bring scandal upon hor lovor Bho heroically slarvod herself to death.

The colonel returned and his wife gavo a grand ball In his honor. Suddenly, In tho midst of tho festivities, tho lights woro extinguished, tlio air was filled with a moaning sound and a palo, sickly radiance illuminated tho room, tlio nimbus slowly began lo take form and Colonol Axtell dropped on the lloor In a dead faint whon ho recognizod tho lady ol the secret chamber. Ho was taken to his room but died tho next day and was buried In ono of tlio vauito underuoath tlio houso, tho doora woro thon locked aud tho placo abandoned forever. This logeud is very much ma1 ed by tho fact that Colonel Axtoll waa not burlod under the house but banished as a Tory at the close of tho war and his property confiscated. Additional interest attaches to this old houso from tho fact that It was once tho homo of Mrs.

Mowatt and by her wa3 namod Mol roso Hall, from tho abundanco of roses which grow about it. The mansion usod to bo approached by a wide walk bordored on either side with a long row of majostic pines. Tho houao has since boon moved to auothor part of tho grounds. Dr. Bartlott, who owns Melrose Hall, desorvos spoclal commendation for not following tho American custom of ruthlessly destroying tho ancient landmark.

He has placed this Interesting rolic whero it may bo iuspocted by autiquariaua for many yoars to como. Vory substantial aid was rendered tho American causo by the inhabitants of Flatbush In tho shape of hard cash. Continental money was much depre ciated. Major Wyckoff went about among tho frugal and patriotic farmers to receive their specie and glvo them a simple noto therefor. Those ex cursions were attended with groat danger as tho enemy had pofsoaslon of the country.

His plan was to cross the sound from Connecticut and con coal himself in tho house of Peter Ondordonk, a warm friend of tho Amorlcau causo at Cow Neck, L. I. Ho was suppllod by Governor Clinton with notes signed In blank which the Major filled in with tho amounts of money received. Agents colioctod the money in various parts of Kings County and car riod it to Mnjor Wyckoff. Judge Cowonhoven of Now Utrecht, carried most of tho money raised In Flatbush.

Captain Cornelius Vanderveer and the Judgo both unltod In advancing a sum of money for which they rocelvod a sim ple noto signed by George Clinton. In or dor to preserve this without foar of its bolng discovered by tno enomy, thoy put It in a bottle, corkod It tightly and placod it under one of tho posts of Mr. Vanderveer's barn. At tho cIobo of tho war tho bottle was dug up, whon it wag found that all tho writing on tho note had boon obliterated, except the signature of George Clinton. Whon theBO loans wero paid by the State, this noto was presented and tho Governor inquired tho causo of its bolng so defaced.

When tho causo was ex plained bo promptly honored It. Tho largest sum loanod by a resident of Flatbush was that by Mr. George Martenso. His various loans aggre gated $5,500, and wben he wont to receive payment in a cart, it Is said that tho silver completely filled It. Tho abovo Incidents relating to life in Flatbuah CGO I.
