Mannering was promoted soon after this affair, for his rood conduct at Dieskau’s battle. He received the brevet of major, and soon after a commission in that rank, and joined Aber- crombie in his disastrous attempt on Crown Point. ~ He aftefward went with one portion of the army into Canada, but.remained upon garrison duty in Montreal when Wolfe took Quebec.

The next spring he resigned his commission, and they were married, settling. near Albany. The faithful slaves, Tom and Dave, followed their young mistress, and were cared efor in their old age. Hubert Moran clung to the fortunes of the “ Great Mar- quis” until he found a soldier’s grave upon. the “ Plains of Abraham.” About this time he received a fortune at the hands of an old uncle, who remembered that he had some such scapegrace nephew, who had done honor to the. family name as a.soldier, and made him a rich man.
