managed to reach the Isle of Skye, in the character and disguise of Betty Bourke, an Irish servant to Miss Flora M'Donald, daughter of a noted Highlander. The hero of other perilous adventures, he reached the Continent in September, 1746. His death occurred at Rome in 1784.

500.-Who was the soldier that killed General Braddock?

This British general died on the night of the 15th of July,-six days after the noted battle,—and was buried in the road, to prevent discovery of the place of interment by the Indians, the heavy roadwagons being driven over the spot. The remains were discovered a few years ago, were taken up, and placed in the cemetery at Uniontown, Fayette County, Penn. It is said that a man named Thomas Faucett (or Fausett), who was among the soldiers under Braddock, shot his general. Faucett resided near Uniontown at the close of the last century, and never denied the accusation. He excused his conduct by the plea that by destroying the general, who would not allow his men to fire from behind trees,—the true border warfare,—the remnant of the army was saved.
