In one of the incur:mins of Indians upon

live years before hail been a trader among
the Indiana of ‘Yeetern New York; and in
one of his visits became infamitreil of a pret•

the graceful and celebrated warrior whom

chief held out strung inducements to his
white father to accompany hint to his tribe,
bet parental affection ditimut seem so strong
in the heart of Abell as his love for the com
forts and luxuries of a white man's home,
and so he chose ratios to be restored to lib

was yielded, and he was conducted in honor
back to the settlement. Titus singularly
met and parted father and son.

(kn. Putnam is known to have been (led
dedly opposed to duelling, on prqu•tple. It
once Wappened that he gro , csly insulted a

expressed his willingness to accommodate
the gentleman with a tight ; and it leas
ulated that the duel should take place oil the
following morning, and that they should
light without seconds. At the appointed
time the General went on the ground, arm-
. -with sword and pistols On entering the
!MU, Putnam, who had taken a stand at the
opposite extremity, and at a distance of
about thirty rods, lerelled his musket and
fired at him. The gentleman ndw ran to
wards his antagonist, whoa deliberately pro
ceeded to reload his gun. `AWliat are you
about to do I" exclaimed he : "is this the
