The third day after ti.eir departure, one of the Indiana re• turned to ‘Parker's house, came in. and seat. ed himself by the fire, lit his pipe, and cpm menci:d smoking in silence. Mrs. Parker thought nothing of this, as it was no uncoin. men thing for one or sometimes more of a party of Indians to run abruptly from a hunt at some sign tt ey may consider ominous of bad luck, and, in such instances, were not very communicative.

That night passed, and' the next day too., antivmeither the boy nor the Indian retorned This confirmed Mrs. Parker in her opinion that there was foul play on the part of the Indiana. So she and her daughter went to work, and. barricaded the door and the windows in the best way they ettiuld.

About nightfall. or shortly a'ter that some one commenced knocking at the door, crying out— " Mother ! mother !'' But Mrs. Parker thought the voice was not exactly like that of her son ; and in older to ascertain the fact, she isked him where the Indiana were. The reply, which Was , um gone," satisfied her on that point.

The pair crossed the line. were married, and returned to Wellsville to pass the night.

A Very Small Exit!. The Reptiblicana deny most tinfl indignahtly that 14 000 nesroes voted at the State election in Ohio. and say that the nuMber was much less than this. and that they were mulattoes. So it seems that it was only a very small "nigger" after all.— This is some consolation fur the Repnblicans, land will go far towards easing their consci ences bitt we don't see what difference it' mikes whether 5,000 or 14.000 negroes sot. ed in Ohio. when the prioeiple of. ottgro e quality is admittei by f lowing them to vote at all.
