Sengxxcrapy, like most old cities, possesses several scporate and distinct quarters, deriving their names eithet from some historical incident with which they are associated, or form some pecit- larity of sitaation, and the manners and appear- ances bf whose inhabitants, exhibit certain mark- ed and distinguishing features, which appear to grow out of, and to be intimately connected with, the respective localities occupied by them.- Amoitg these may properly be numbered the Ong Font,. which we have assumed as the subject of this paper, and which comprises that part of the town lying adjacent to, and formed by the intersec- tion of, Front, Forry and Green streets, | It derives its name from the ride foitiGieations, which in the year 1784 were erected by the inhabitants as a protection from threatened invasion, and which stuod in the open space forthed by this intersec. tion. - 'These fortifications consisted principally of a block house, lomed of equared timbers, suffi- ciently spacious to afford safety and shelter, \*in the hour of utmost need,\ to the whole popula- tion of that carly day. tt thus became dignified with the name of a * Fort,\ though its armament consisted of but several small picces of AftTiEry, and it was better able to resist the encroachments of a savage, though inexperienced foe; thah to endure the seige or bombardment of more mo- dern and scientific warfare. | It occupied itd po- sition for many years, and was finally dismantled at the commencement of the Revolutionary War, when its materials were used. in the erection of a 1 what is now called Tibetty street, but wltich has also long since disaupeared. . At that early day, this quarter formed oue of the extremities of the town, and with the exception of a lew cultivated fields, which the necessities of the inhabitants had caused them to occupy, all beyond it lay in its onginal wilduess : and the watchful sentinel, as in the performdace of his unwelcome duty, he paced his nightly round, upon the projecting pa- rapet of the old fortification, was often startled from his lone musings, by the shrill ery of the tin» tmmeable panther, as with fearless spring he bounded among the trees. of his native wild ; or when gazing intently though the darkness which obsbured his view, his vigilunt eye has indistinct» ty triieed the painted form of some wily savage, stcalthily creeping amid the forest gloom, his cautious footsteps, occagionully betrayed by the snopping 6¢ the decayed branckes, or the rustle of the fad leaves, with which an autumn wind had strewed the ground, and bgainst whicli, even his pative. cunning, was unable to guard. | How aften under the influence «of the alarm, such an unwelcome apparition would [naturally awaken, has the frighted sentry discharged his piece, and the little garrison, with eager haste, turned out, to watch most anxiously for thé morning's dawn, whose tardy arrival at lengtlt quieted their fears, and whofe roused feelings, found their only vetkt, in the utterance of the Heep Mdlediction, or the threat of forure vengeance, upon their unseen though dangerous loe. Tho name which this part of the city thus acquired, it has ever re- tained, though it may be new to some of our readers } and, in fact, is groadufliy - falling into disuse, owing to the partial substitution of n more modern. though vulgar cognomen, | Who first suggested: stich a change of its ancient and well known title, we do not know ; or what could have been their motives for attempting so uncall= ed fot an innovation upon old an established usage, we are it a loss to detefmine; we trust, however, that the respectable denizens of that re spectable quartef, will bestis themselves in the matter before it is tog late, and crush these ince pient attempts to affix a misnomer upon, or effect a substitution of any other designation for the ting- houored one, by which their «quare las heet so long and so honorably distinguished, - Wo detest all innovations of 'this kind, and though the quos~ tion, © what is in a namo?\ has often been trium- phantly asked, we for one, ! like old things by their old titles best,\ and seek no change in this vespect, and least of all, such change as modern taste would bring us, 'The Oid Fort has long since beet dismantled-the forests have disip- peared before the wooéman's axe-and the nor- row bonndarics of thé old town extended upon every side ; yet even to this day, does the quarter which bears its name, exhibit in its nppearance, and in the manners of its inhabitants, sume few iraces of the * olden time.\ - Among the improve: ments, the alterations and the oxtensions, which luter years hive effected, it still retains some faint evidences of antiquity, and still affords, in the persons and habits of its population, the best specimens extant, of those social and individual characteristics, | which furmgd the distinguishing features of bus: worthy, though forgotten anues- tors.
