TIIK INDIAN AND 1118 \/W/80S.
Twast a cold stormy night in the fall of
1/313, and )liner Spicer and, his wife had
drawn their seits -r in front of the blAzrrifilre
wllioh roared in the large open fire place of
their -cabin, wore talking of lithkent'
(Rends. Together With his' brother Mie. !
At Spicer, ho had removed frOuli 'Now
lisindon, Conn-, to the neighborhood of Ak
ron, Ohio, in 1811, And erected his Jog cabin
in the midst of the forest, which was fast ',T
ing thinned out before the strong min of the ,
new settler, and giving place to green Adds
and wiletureAltuds, . The _litiatatt .180 1 ) 1 ing,
of the wind, as it sighed through the boughs
of the trees, and the heavy pattering of the
rain on the roof, served to lighten -the com
fort and increase the enjoyment of their
chimney corner ; and it is not to be wonder
ed
at when we consider the subject of con
vermilion, that they should sit long after ;
the usual period of retiring in <may chat,nor
dreamed of the passing hours. A sudden
Mal to their colloquy was caused by the
sound of a horse's hoofs approaching the
door, and in a moment after a shout front
without intimated that some one desired to
attract trio attention of the initiates of the
house.. Mr. Spicer arose, opened the door,
and passed out into the night. Ile could
recognire the outline of a man on horsebnck,
but the darkness which shrouded all objects
in gloom, prevented him from distinguish
mg the features of anything whereby he
might guess at the character of his visitor
To this question of " who's there ?" a vol
ley of 501111 , 14 was tittered by the stranger ----
so unintelligible to Spirr as so much Greek
or Arabic. He was somewhat angered at
§indi an attempt M answer his simple ques
tion, and told the other that hemust s,seak
English, or he would unhorse him. Ily
time his eyes had become accustomed to the
darkness, and he was able to mike out Ow
stranger to Ise an Indian, mounted on a
small sized, rough and wiry looking pony,
which. beside his master, bore on his back
the carcase of n deer- Dr signs, and a fow
words of Euglish, the Indian was enabled
to,make Spicer understand that ho wanted
to stay all night with him. To this request
a very reluctant assent was given, for an
indidn warrior was not, at that perk, 1, the
pleasing and harmless guest • man
could have in fain house, and Spicer was not
thc.warinest friend to the red man of the
forest. However, the request had been
made, and lie would not even turn an enemy
tram his door on suck d night : sio lie was
bid to dismount and enter, while hie horse
was led to a large pig-sly near, which was
the only resemblance of a kettle Montt the
premises The carcase of the deer was car
ried..tuto the house, together with tiro rifle.
which the Indian bore. Spicer did not fike
the look's of huM when-the full bls se of the
fire lit up his person, dnd the fact of his be
ing co well armed —for, besides Ins rifles,
he carried in his belt a tomahawk awl scalp -
ing knife—aroused his susplcion of the ob.
ject of his visit. The Indian probaoly no
ticed,this fact by the expression of his face,
and rid Mitiself of his weapons which he
placed in the corner with his rifles. Re-as
sured by this act, Mpicer threw oft somewhat
of his reserve, and asked the other if lie
wanted any supper Without replying in
words, the Indian took his knife, awl, going
to thocarowssof thwesirr, mit oittwirsten
which he handed to Hrs. Spicer, who under
stead well enough what was expected of
her. She accordingly put them over the
lire to broil, and meantime lent the table
with such other eatables as the cabin &Hord,
ed. When the meat was sufficiently cooktrd,
as she thought, it nas taken nom the tire,
and thoroughly Neasoned wilh salt and pep
per, after the white' man's =thud of cook
tug. .
I -
The Indian, who had sat in silence during
1 1
the preparation of the meal, was called to
eat, and drew up his chair for that purpose. i
' But both Spletbr and his wife noticed that lie
ate but a mouthful or tai of the meat, with
which, for some reason which they could'
not divine. he seamier disgusted. Nothing
A (
w a said by either party ; and the table was
c &red, as it had been'Apread, in silence.—
elfin was told upon the floor .in front of.
tb fire for the Indian to sleep upon, and
Spicer and his wife retired to bed In h ecioni
which adjoined the main aPperteuent,, and
which; from tho position oftheir conah, gave
theme Bull view ofdlite other room, together
with Um Indian, his arms, ,tc. The ca:casc
of the deer had boon laid by the lino of Ili;
dresser, which was next to the door between
the two apartments, so that a person in pas
sing (row ono to the other would almost stop
over it Before going to bed, Spicer had
taken care to See that his rifle was in good
order, aria fdaihirit Bill - h - o ia of his bed,
where he could reach it with ease, should
necessity require its use: ills suspicions of
his guest had not boon entirely allayed, and
although ho was dhridul to amid el - Miring
them, yet he thought best to peepers for any 1
' emergency. Both vertical laid them down
to repose, anti soon nothing but the rain and
the wind broke the silence of the night.
An hour had passed —it 'night ' have been
longer, for he could only gooss at the time
and Spicer retinal himself wide awe kc,
and all his ei,aillies on , the atreitli. Whit

Ids glance was directed at his guest ; and,
although the fire had "burned low, and only
I threw a faint light un the objects itt the
other apartnunt, 'yet he saw that he had
partly risen from his pallet, and was` in a
sitting posture, leaning pit ono hand & apd
intently gazing into the room whore hlf
wife; ltifind thatabe,
too, was melte; and wal.ching the mote
-1 ments of the Indian. Slowly and cautiously
the latter raised himself to his foot, and ap
parently a:Welled that his host was sound
asleep, ho approached the corner Iwhere his
rifle, tomahawk and kiiifu had been placed.
Here ho again paused and looked stealthily
ever his shoulder to !we'll' all wait quiet.—
The feelings of Spicer and his wife may per
llturpa imagined, but.they-earinat he . des;
Critical. Satisfied of the intentions of his
guest, ho was about to reach for his rifle,
but thought he would wait the further de
velopment of his intention's. The slightest
movement, even n change in their breathing,
he knew, would alarm the warrior, and he
`lay therefore perfectly quicsepnt, but pre •
pared to act when the time came for action.
1 110 saw the Indian iltnn nick tip his knife
draw it from the•sheath and feel its edge,
and in a moment more lie was approaching
the ilitor tq his a?artment with a noiseless'
cat like tread Quick as thought, Spicer's
plan was arranged -11111 that was the 113Q

Al Iffteen minutes- past twe 'clock the

drawn up in lines-so as-to (-per! menage to
the jail. As soon as they,hedt y r ived and
taken the places assigned then by the offi
cers, thb-prisoner, Ira Stout, tits brought

fact that he had a spell of, ling about
noon. On reaching (tie gall; , he took a

Mr. Warder told the prisoner t the time

Her. :dr. Hotchkiss, then a ndmr, at the

The Deputy Actif s. oilier re; and friends,
, then shook hands with the prisoner, aint
' Deputy Sheriff Warner put the rope ahuut
1 his neck and drew the cip over his face.r—
-' While the officer: were pinioning bit arms,
Stout stood quite eree*, and lemained in that
' attitude till thu la.-it. lie was quite firm to
his demeanor,. and gave the name complacent

All being ready, and the spectator stand
ing in breat4less silence, at twenty minutes
past three o'clock, Sherd) Babcock pulled
the fatal line, and fra Stout was suspended
iliree feet from the door. Not a sound was
heard in any direction, save the heavy fall of
the weight which did the fatal work.
The death of tho ill fated man was not as
sudden as could be desired Ilis struggles
for eight or ton minutes were severe and
caused the spectators to turn away in dis-
gust. His neck was probably not dislocated.
and be died by the slow process of strangu
lation. Drs. Hall, Avery, James, and Mil
ler stood near, and in eight minutes after
the drop fell, they said his pulse was as
lull as In life. At the end of• half' aft beet
his body was cut ddwn and placed in the
coffin, preparatory to being taken to tho ma
faience of his mother in Egehango street.
Stout petitioned, in his own hand, for a
commutation of punishment. The petition
is written in a bold, firm hand. There are
some few things, such as capitals and-punc
tuation misplaced, that evince a deficient ed•
ucatioil, but the spelling is nearly faultless.
There am no signatures attached to the pii.
titton as received by Gov. King, but it ap.
pears it was not the original paper, which
was subsequently laid before the Governor
by the mother of tbe prisoner,_with a largo
number pf signatures attached.
Mrs. Stout was in Albany up to a late hour
on Wednesday night. hoping against hope
for soroo change in the Governor's &Mama.

Resignation of Judge Fail*.
' PtitLttaLt.HlA, Oct lh, 185$
r , His E.reellertcy W,Jltom F. Packer
ri-nor of Pennsylviinsts'—Derr Sir : On Die
first day of your entrance on official duty, I
rpeeiteil from your hand a oottimission as ■
Judie of the gamine boot 'of Penrucylva
nia. The event then - bewildered - poitiible,
perhaps I should say probable, has just
been realised. I have little to say. of the
means which•produeed it., On receiving be
appointment I thought that, being a judge,
actually sitting on tito-tamch and deciding
the rights of mon'otail shades of politi
cal opinion, I ought not to write a political
letter, nor make • speech. In the first
place, I wax not Willing to hide with my
clittoli to the ofam. howevez,-itmall, in--the
shadows of a mare political question. In
the nest place, I was and I am thomnghly
convinced, by reading' and reflection, that
whenever a judge can be elected by reason
of his sentiments on any question of politics,
that moment the real power of the Judicial
office will disappear. Posslidy this may be
very erroneous doctrine, very inopportunely
hut I shall maintain it while L
prioress a moral sense or retain • rational
faculty. In the certain prospect of • de
feat far more disastrous, notone hairsbreadth
of ft &Add be abated. -
The reverse which has °central to the
party is of less consequence than we arc apt
to suppose. The Democratic party is coeval
with the riovernment itself, and it will exist
so long as the Republic endures. Within
its ranks sues will always he found who re
main there only to do with more success
the work of disorganisation. • The party
itself. though depressed, is net destroyed.
The point of its lowest depression is that
from which it will, of necessity, begin to
rise. At this moment, I solemnly believe
' it to bo the best and strongeit political or.
ganiratien which has over existed for pre
serving the interests of the whisk country.
Now to the point. I am not weak enough
to suppose that the enclosed commission
has had much to do in causing the present
political excitement. Nevertheless, it is
plain that the people Of Pennsylvania prefer
aarothcr person as a judge of their' Supreme
Court. In these circumstances, it seems to
me a simple dictate of delicacy and propel.
sty to retire from Use office. In additieln to
this, I ought to state that Olin* are several
important causes pending In which I wish
tc take part as counsel, and these require
immeciiito attention I therefore, enclose
my resignation. The office was tendered by
you very kindly, without solicitation on my
part. I resign it gratefully, and without,
as I hope, haring brought upon it a stain of
dishonor. I.oss was- sweotnplished than
Auld have wished,but I am not cons:ious of
an ace does not meet the approval of my
own sense of duty. To yourself per:onally,
and to those friends Who ore sending me
their sympathy, I beg ID say; hi a worti,that
there is no cause for regret. I fetus n
profession which I WWI conscious of aban
doning too soon, end to a po.ition at the bar
as honorable cis that which is now relin•
quished, and Ho much Snore remunerative,
that comparison Is out of the question.
Certainly, I ought to regard it no hardship
to exchange far the comforts of home that
wandering lifa which the law of Pciansylvac
nia compels her judges to had. If I have
any regret, it is in parting with those_ pure
and upright men also will remain to dis
charge their anltious and unreel MUM work.
Wishing - you a

truly, yours, WILLIAM A. POKTKA.

-I have linen a bad boy, and would miry
to all who are now growing up to minhood
to shun the paths I 'have trod—to remember
that running about in louse company leads

of all kinds, and for which they will sooner
or later be brought to the bar and sent to
punishment. And I would ask all good
people if they cannot believe me innocent,
as I am, at least to think kindly of me once
in a vrhilt, in tho long years I shall have to
