IlfaHang. A THUILLUIG STORY. An Incident Massacre of Wyoming . It was a night of! blood and fire—a night of oaths and 'shrieks—a night of prayers and curses. It was a night never to be forgotten., It was a time when old men and aged women, young men and maidens, and chil dren of all ages, from the suckling infant upwards, were; being brutally murdered. It was a time when long endeavored homes were being devoured up by the dames of a fierce conflagration. It was a time wheix inhuman savages and equally inhuman white men were gloating their fiendish passions with deeds which the pen of mdn could hardly conceive—which the Recording; Angel has registered in the great book of eternal life —which all the tears of a|l thchosts of Heaven can never wipe outJ ‘ It was a dark time in the valley of Wyo ming—a period of brutal and remorseless massacre. Who has no(;; heard of that terrible event in the history off America ? Is there a loyal man or woman who has not felt their blood run cold and chilly through their veins, when the memory of that scene of carnage and devastation has been recalled to their minds ? Point me to one such, and I will show you a being who is lost to every attribute of humanity. If it were not impious to curse at all, I could well find} it in my heart to curse the butchers of Wyoming—to heap up male dictions on their heads until .they towered heavenward, even to the throne of the Omnipotent. But God is just, and the bloody deeds which at tjhait time outraged Heaven have yet to be attoned for, and in a manner that will fully Indicate the suSlime just ness of the Great Judge oh high. And not only ; will they have to answer for it, whose .hands were on that occasion so deeply steepdd |n innocent blood, but even sp will they haVe to answer for it who en couraged and set them on. Even so will he be called on whose high handed tyranny provoked the war, and whose myrmidons but executed his will, when they instiga ted American Indians and American tories \ to perpetrate such fearful deeds as the one which, upon that dark night, raised such a shriek of horror in the beautiful Valley of Wyoining. Stand forth George the Third I Stand forth, butchers! of Wyoming active and passivel What (answer will ye make to the Lord God of Graven in the last great day of final reckoning ? Let us go Back, my reader, to that night of 1775. The massacre was atits height. Eve rywhere there fa a fire, fire, fire—every where blood flowed in streams. Groans, prayers, and corses loaded the air. Bedsjunsl and white renegades, dressed and paiUted to resemble their sav age confederates, were wildly rushing about from point to point, committing deeds almost fob horrible for belief, lire fiendish bujtoheif of Wyoming were reve ling in a sfidurndlia of Wood. In the parlorof a neat little, house as yet untouched by the flames, as yet on* desecrated by the lawless footsteps of the human batchers who were rendering the night hideous, three persons were assem bled. One was a white-headed old man, another a white headed old woman, and the third, a beautiful young girl, of not more than eighteen years of age. The old man’s nane fas John Habncr. The venerably lady was his wifet, and the young.- girl was their orphan grandchild. ller name was Mary Morton, and for many ALTOONA, PA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 859.

A bloody death stared them in the face, as they could not con template their fearftil fete with anything like calmness. , Qld Mrs. Habner and Maiy Morton were weeping and moaning wringing their alternately embracing each other j alyj old Mr. Habner was tottering up and down the room, a picture of the deepest distress. Suddenly the wife arrested his steps by saying— r J u Father, father, ft is too dreadful to stay here and be murdered ! pon’t you think we might escape if we were to try ?” “ ft would be but precipitating our fate, wife, was the tremulous reply. «\y e should not know which way to turn, and more than likely, should run into the greatest danger the first thing. We must bear the worst, which will come soon enough, knowing and believing that the Lord does all things for the best—bear it too, we had better, with as few vain re grets as possible. For ourselves, we have but little to lament, for at the best the sands of our lives are nearly run out: but here is Mary in the bloom of youth and health, and for her sake I feel the deepest sorrow of all, as I know you do too/' Mrs. Habner was weeping to violently to utter any reply, J God bless you grand-parents?” said Mary, tremulously, at the same tfmc alter nately embracing the old people. “ God bless your dear, goods hearts and reward you. But don’t fret about me. I have not been so vneked that I should fear to die, and yet I am no better than others that I should expect any greater degree of mercy. The world is fair, but Heaven is &irer still, and I will try to be resigned/ 5 .‘ I would that we could all escape !” said Mr. Habner; “but since w:e cannot, let us meet death as becomes Christian people, innocent of any mime. Even in this dreadful hour, let us kneel down and join in prayer.” Side by side, the two old people and their pretty grandchild bent their knees, and, in earnest, fervent tones, Mr. liab le* supplicated Heaven in behalf of his helpless wife, of helpless Mhry, and him self, concluding his heartfelt petition with a fervid and glowing appeal for his deso lated country and suffering countrymen. Meanwhile, the sounds, of the turmoil had been gradually approaching Mr. Ilab nef s house, and eveij while the last word lingered upon the old man’s tongue, a sud den assault was made upon every door and window of the building. All started. “Do not move, wife, nor you, Mary,” said Mr. Habner, recovering himself some what. “ Let us meet death upon our knees, and with our hands uplifted to the throne of mercy. We could not perish in a better cause—for we are about to die for our love of country. God in Heaven bless America !—nor could we yield up our lives in an attitude more acceptable to our Maker.” Silently, all three remained in the same prayerful position. The next moment, several of the doors and windows were suddenly burst open, and, with loud yells and curses, a gang of painted tories dashed into the apartment. “ Cum, you cussed rebels, git up there!” shouted pne who appeared to be the leader. u 0 Lord, have mercy on us I” murmured Mr. Habner, without heeding the furious renegade. “,0 Lord, have mercy on us !” repeated Mrs. Habner, in choked tones. “ 0, Lord, have mercy on us 1” added Mary Morton, tremulously, but earnestly. “ Wal, if ye won’t git up, cuss ye, take it there, then !” yelled the tory, madly.— “■ Hurra for King George, an’!death to the blasted rebels I” VTith the spring of a wild beast, eager for its prey, he dashed at Mr. Hajbner the next moment scattering thp olid man’s brains in all directions. At the same time, another sprang at Mrs. Habner and with brutal ferocity, served her (in a like manner. A third seized Mary Morton by the hair of the head, but just ah he was about to execute his dastardly (purpose, the report of a rifle rang out, and he fell dead by her side. | The tories hesitated and gazed around them but could not discover where the shot came' from, and so expressed them selves.'' ■ " : At the same time, Maty Mojrton lost, consoiousness/and fell prone to me floor. All this happened nearly at the same time. • ■ V ' | “That was a chance shot, I guess,” cried the leader, a notorious renegade, an’ as there’s plenty o’work yet to doi, FU fin ish this joh at . | The outiaw stepped quickly toward Maty, and, bending oyer her, wap just in the act of laying bands on her person, when another report rang out and ho &U. dead.

The villian stepped quickly toward a, back window, but bad not advanced three Eaoes when another report rang out, and e, too fell dead. This time, every one in the room saw where the deadly shot came from. “ The cuss is out therewas thegea eral cry, and for a moment forgetful of Mary Morton, the whole gang dashed out the nock part of the house. Scarcely had they well quitted the room, when a handsome and athletically-built young man glided in by the open front way, and quickly lifting up the uncon scious girl, crept away to the back entrance. As he paused at the rear door to listen a moment, the tories re-entered the house by the front, having made a vain and fruit less circuit of the building. The hidden markesman they had not found, nor any trace of him, for the hidden markesman was the young' man who carried off Mary Morton. His name was Harvey Moore and he bad long admired sweet Mary in secret, but up to the eventful period of which 1 am writing, he had npt made an open declaration of his feelings; A braver, stronger, cooler man in the hour of danger, could nowhere, be found, and on that night of blood an<| massacre, he proved his abilities to the utmost. — Many a brutal, treacherous renegade, many a bloody and remorseless savage, fell dead to the ground beneath the powerful blows of his good right arm, or the uheering aim of his deadly pointed rifle. Mary Morton was in good hands — doubly so, because the young mau loved her better than his own life. Soon after re-entering the house, the tories were made aware of the removal of the young girl, and vented their ugly feel ings in cursing her and her rescuer. After appropriating what small valua bles they could lay their bauds on, the renegades fired the building, and sallied forth to enact over again the same hellish deed. Meanwhile, by the most stealthy and cautious movements possible, Harvey Moore had succeeded in beating Mary Morton almost, beyond the limits of the bloody scene. Several times they had been nearly discovered, but the Almighty seemed with them, and at opportune mo ments, the danger was turned aside. In a secluded spot Harvey stopped, for Mary was beginning to revive. u Where am I ?” cried the poor girl, as the young man rested her gently and ten derly on the ground “ My God I” she ad ded, suddenly recollecting herself, “ what a fearful scene 1 Blood !
