curious and interesting. Edward Shippen, afterwards Chief Justice of Pennsylvania, was the father of Margaret.

While Mr. Findley was preaching a livelv sermon at Silver Creek Sacrament, in June or that year, the people at some sentences laughed aloud. Sometimes half of the professors of religion laughed in this way, appearing all the time solemn and

West Point, that Mrs. Arnold came thither, with her infant, to join her husband, travelling by strong stages' in her own carriage. She passed the last night at Smith's house, where she was met bv the general, an d proceeded np the river in his barge to head-quarters. When Washington and his officers arrived at West Point, having sent Fishkill to announce their coming, LaFavette reminded the Chier who whs turning
his hnrsa into a small road leading to the river,'
that Mr, Arnold would be waiting break fast; to wnich Washington sportively answered, "Ah you young men are all in love with Mrs. Arnold: gi break fist with her, and do not wait for me." Mrs. Arnold was at brnkrast with her husband mid the aids-de-camp, Washington and the' other officers having not yet come, when the letter arrived which bore to the trai'or the first
intelligence or Andre's capture, lie left the
room immediately, went to his wife's chamber, sent Tor her, and hriefly informed her of the necessity of his instant flight to the enemy. This was probably the first intelligence she received what was going on. The news over
whelmed her, ind when Arnold quitted the
apartment he left her laying in a swoon on the floor. Her almost frantic condition plunged into the depths of distress is described with sympathy by Col Hamilton, in a letter written the the next May: "The General," he says, 'went to see her; she upbraided blm with being in a plot to murder her child; raved, shed tears and lamented the fate or the infant. All the sweetness of beauty, all thenveliness of innocence, all the tenderness ora wife, and nil the fondness of a mother, showed themselves in her appearance and enduct.' He, too, expresses his conviction that she had no knowledge of Arnold's plan till his announcement to her that he must banish himself from the country forever. The opinion of other people qualified to judge without prejudice, acqnitted her or the charge oThaving participated in the treason. John Jay writing from Madrid to Catharine Livingston, says: "All the world are cursing Arnold end pitying his wire." And Robt. Morris writes:

deviceab.ty lear, with the motto 'Unchangeable. This gay and volatile young creature, occustom

and was captivated, it is probable, through her
girlish fancy, by the splendor or Arnold's equip
