The churchyard, con verted into a fortified post by the French, was taken from them by storm by the peasants. Above it rises the ruined Castle Jaufenburg.

of a ruse de guerre of the famous Andrew Hofer, when he attacked the Bavarians from an ambuscade. The spot is not such as a stranger would at first suppose was well chosen for the fearful purpose for which it was selected,—the mind would picture to itself a situation overhung with precipices,—but here the narrow valley suddenly spreads out on the left of the river into a little plain, about a quarter of a mile broad and half a mile long, around which the mountain base sweeps like an amphitheatre

. A little church, and a village through which the road passes, occupy the left bank of the Eisach. On the right, the mountain rises abruptly from the bed of the river. This was the spot chosen by Hofer for the ambuscade of the Tyrolese: he had caused to be prepared, rocks, trunks of trees, and other heavy bodies, on the rise of the mountains above the plain, which were so placed, that when the props were withdrawn which supported them, these masses rolled down the declivity and across the plain, over

A few days afterwards (Oct. 14), before this misfortune could be retrieved, the dis tracted court at Vienna purchased peace by the hand of a daughter of the proud house of Habsburg which was promised to the upstart Corsican. Tyrol remained Bavarian and the redoubtable Andreas Hofer, taken prisoner through gross treachery, was in his captors’ eyes a hero too dangerously popular to be left alive. He died the death of a brave man, standing erect
