I had gone west In la-gin life, anil this Ixjing the lirst employment offered me I gladly ac c pied it. 'Here, Scott." said the head deputy, as I enleieri the oltico one morning "is a war rant for you In serve; it's for Jim Dole. You'll see fliienlions there how to find him." he added tossing 1110. over some pa s. Elliot, the head deputy, had treated me far fi-ntu civilly from the start, I Ie seemed p if pied at 'a partiality shown mo by our piiticipat, wlut was serving his last term, and whose influence for the succession, tit which Elliot, aspired, the latter wtts especi ally tnxiotis tit secure. "The warrant appears to be an old one," I remarked after examining the date. 'More reason that itsj exectit ion be not further delayed,' was the gi uff rcsKusc. I made tut reply, but ascei laintng, from a memorandum pinned to the warrai.t the locality of D.ide's residence, 1 prepared to set out al ohce to do the duty assigned me. The writ contained a serious criminal charge. Cut what manner of a man the accused might be wlrel her one likely lit obey or to icsist the law's Commands I could only Miunise, As Mr. Elliot had said nothing about furnishing assistance, I hesitated to broach the suhj.-cr, feaiinghe miuht attribute the suggest ion to timidity. The coiinliy was thinly settled, ami abounded in game : and, lieiug something of a sjau tsman, on starting ou my mission I donned my hunting accoutrements alul shouldered my l illo. I went afiait, for lo reasons first the nearest way lay through the forest, and next, I had a lietter chance of getting a shot at something on the way. I saiinteied along leisntely, keeping, for a timn, a keen lookout; but seeing nothing worth tho waste of aiwder, my thoughts gradually settled down to the business I had in hand. I must confess 1 wished it well itver. Jim Dade might ptoveto be an ttgly hand to ileal with in a lonesome place, without witnesses. At any rate, the lestir.1011i.il lo his character, then in my pocket, was not such as to in crease my fjinilSdence. "On you know Mr. Dade?" I inquired, at length, of a settler whom I found clean ing up a patch of ground near his cabin. 'Jim Dade?" ho asked. Yes," I replied; "can you diiect mo tohia house ?" "You'll baidly find him thar, stranger," was the ansAer; 'you see, him an' the sherifTs folks been ki-epiu 4uler ne ati t Iter's way like, for awhile back. Jim, he Hunks in the woods mostly, with his 1 tile for a bed fellow, an' .'others. I guess, don't keer lo schrouge him toclost." -Is he a dangerous character ?' "Wall, no not ef you give him his own way aa' take all his sass, an' don't jaw back. Hut Jim is- a leetle kantaukentiis sometimes, efyou rile him. Jest ask Jabe Elliot." continued the settler, with a chuckle. Ho came out here to nab Jim awhile ago. Wall, Jim, ho pinted his te lle a. htm, ami sarved notisoiito him to git, and Jabe did git, makin" a Icelle the best timeevei seed in these parts." Thiscle;iren up considerably Mr. Elliot s mitlive in tletailing me for tho present ser- ice. "Ef you've partte'lar business with Jim," ll.o si ttler .uhleil, "ytui mout run agin him iver thar in ihem wisals, crost Hie gulch," waving his Laud in tho direc tio: indicated. . , I felt it 111 v duty ii t to return without m:tking an eibu t to accomplish the object of my coming, so thanking the man for Ins information, I laitcd to make what use of it I might. I had not proceeded far when the reitort of a gun fliew my attention. Follow ing tho report I "" came in sight of a, man standing beside a fine buck, probably just brufht down by tho shot I had heard. Tlio huntsman was in the act of reload ing his riiij. which ho finished by pultiiuf ou Hie cap a I approached. Turning quickly at the sound f my ad vance, the face lie revealed was to the las, degiee sinister and repulsive Something told me I had found my man. It h t wa m ehild's play I Itefoie me, "You've li.d bcltei luck than myself, PA., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1877. j friend," I accosted the hunter blandly; "i ve oeen out all day without getting a shot." "You'd likely a missed ef yott had," he growled, with a contemptuous glance at my new rille and trappings. "I count myself a pretty fair shot," I re joined. "Hump! you sniplious chaps ain't much out yer in the wimkIh." "I would like to try a shot at a mark with you," I said, pretending to be a little nettled. "Stranger, do yon want ter have the cottsate looked out o'yer?" returned the woodsman. "1 am willing for a trial of skill with you." I answered. "Niime yntir distance, and bet your gun agin mine," lie said. Sixty yards, done !" I replied. Wetting a little twmder, he blacked a round spot on the white baik 4f a beech, indicating the centre by the intersection of two lines aenxs it. The distance was sieptHjd off and all was leady. "Which 0110 shoots first ?" queried my opponent. "Git ahead," I answered ; "1 waut to seo what I have got to beat." "It's all one to me," he replied, leveling his rille carelessly, and tiring with a fpiick aim. "You'll find I've diuv tho centre," he said, as e advanced to look. And Sfi, indeed, he had. "Wal, it's your turn ikw," be added with a look of triumph. "Wait a moment," 1 aid ; "your name's Jim Dade?" "Wall, what in the thunder difference diws that make?" "Only this," I answered. "I'm a deputy sheriff, ami I have a warrant for your ar rest. Here's a copy," and 1 thrust it into his hand. "Wall, what are you going to do about it?" "Take you with me, dead or alive !" I exclaimed, stepping back and presenting my lifle, Tho desperado saw the game was np. He gave me a tierce scowl, and glanced around as if meditating flight. "If yon move a step," i said, iu a deter mined ion, "I'll send a bullet through your head. I'm marksman enough for that, you'll find." 'rut your wrists in these," I added, holding out a pair of handcuffs, at the same lime standing aloof and keeping a sharp lis.kout lest I should be sprung upon and overiHiweied unawares. It's a d rotted mean trick you've sai ved" mo after drawn' my fire," whined Jim, Completely cowed. With a snap the nr.anacles were fastened, and taking my prisoner's arm, I marched him to j.itl without further trouble. The slory of Jalte Elliott's fast time got out before the next election, and that worthy, instead of gaining his succession, retiree! to tho shade, of private life. A WoNDEKFUi. STORY OF THE DEEP. British sc-a captains are becoming famous by reason of their discoveries 4f sea minis ters. .Some weeks ago the World publish ed an amazing story of a monster marine fr.tg seen by the officers and crew of au English steamer in the Straits of Malacca, and now Capt. Drewar, of the bark Paul ine, of London, who has just arrived at Cork from a long voyage, favors the pub lic with the follow ing account of an ocean marvel: Hark Pauline, July 7. 1865, latitude 5 deg. 13 min. north, longitude 35 deg. west. Capo San H.spie, north east coast ff Brazil, distance Iweniy miles, at 11 A. m., the weather line ami clear, wind airfl sea npNleiale, observed some black Kts 011 the water, and a whitish pillar some thitty feet high above litem. At the first sight 1 took all to be breakers, as the sua was splashing up fountain-like .-tlx nit them, anil the pillar a pinnacle rock, bleached with the sun, but the pillar full with a spl.tsh anil a similar one rose. They rose and fell alternately iu quick succession, and gmtd glasses showed mo it was a monster sea serpent coiled twice round a huge serm whale. The head anil tail parts, each altoul thirty feet long, were acting as levels twisting itself and its victim round with great velocity. They sank out. of sight every twit minutes, coming to tho surface still revolving ; and the struggle of the w hale and t woollier whales that were near ly fiantic w ith excitement, made the sea iu their vicinity like a boiling caldron, ami a loud confused noise wasilistinctly heard. This strange itccurreuce lasted some fifteen minutes, and finished with the tail po-tion tf the wltalo being elevated straight in the air, then waving backward. and forwards ami lashing the water furiously in the last death si niggle, when the whole body dis apiearetl from our view, going down head foremost to I ho bottom, where, 11 1 doubt, it. was gorged at I he sei jKMit's leisure ; and that monster of monsters may have been many mouths in a state of coma, digesting Iho huge mouthful. Then, two of tho largest speiin whales that I have overseen moved slowly thence toward the vessel, their bodies more than usually eievated out of the water, and not sjsiuting or mak ing the least noise, but seeming quite par aljzed with fear; indeed, a cold shiver went through my 011 frame on beholding the last agonizing struggle of tho mor whale that had seemed as helplest iu the i coils of Iho vicious monster as a bud iu the j talons fif a hawk. Allowing for two coils I round the whale, I think tho serjient was ! about. 1C0 or 170 feet long, ami seven or j eight feet in gin h. It was in color much ' like a conger eel ; and the head, from the mouth being always open, apeared the largest pari of the body. It is cuiious that the whale, that lives on the smallest food of any fish in tho ocean, should itself he but a meal for another monster; but I think it as feasible that the set jn-nt swal lowed the whale as that a boa constrictor can coi 1 mine a whole bulLtck. One of the stranjjpst fie a k an rccoul J occurred in San Francisco, recently. A I female child was Itorri without eyes. ' There was lit, indication of the existence ; tf eyes.

A reporter, a day or two ago, chanced to listen to an account 4f two incurrences in tho history of a well-known St. Louisan, of such a nature as lo bo worthy of repro duction. The story is here given as nearly as possible in the woids of the nariatior, and strikingly illustrates the truth of state ments often made regaidiug the sensations expeiieuco wheu iu moital :t tl of ceitaiu kinds : My expedience has been a remarkable one. Twice I have suffered death, and still I live. I mean that twice 1 have gone through all that constitutes death, except the actual extinction of the vital spatk. Holh times I wan considered dead, and so pronounced by medical extant, and both times I passed and remained for some time beyond the aiiut of sensibility. The liist time was by drowning and the second by freezing. The sensations iu both instances are as fiesh and vivid in my memory as when they lirst happened, years Bgo. 1 was crossing a biidge over a wide but shal low stream, iu a lonely place, and accident ally fell off. W hen 1 say shallow, 1 mean for such a wide body of water. It was over my head by two or three feet. I saw 110 Itody. near me, and could nor swim a stroke. 1 knew how deep the watei was and gave myself up for lost. The quickness of the sense when sudden death seems impending has frequently been noted, but still, with out exjiience, 110 one can lealize it. It is as if one's whole life weic spread out in one panorama before him, every portion of which was v 11 b 1-3 ul once. Even minute details of things long forgotten, and w hich, when they happened were so lulling that they appaiently made 110 impression on the memory, stand out in sharp and bold out lines, i lemetnbereil, for instance, games ol" marbles playt d w hen 1 was a boy, and a futile attempt, i once made lo liaiisimue a "commoney" inlo a "w hile alley" by greas ing it with laid, w lapping it iu a rag, ami roasting it iu the lire. 1 remember how the maible burst iu the ojajialioii, and how a piece of it struck ami cut the cheek of tho boy who had beguiled me iuio the ex periment, and the satisfaction I expei ieiiced at tho retributive justice. It seemed as if everything 1 had over done, sulleied, or thought was presented to my memory al a single flash. '1 hen I struck the water, whon a sound, which I have since learned to hkeu lo the roar of Niagara, buist ou my ears, and si tinned me w ith its overwhelming volume. 1 remeiuoer a brief instant of snuggling and clutching, and then a sense of sinking sinking sinking until 1 reached the depth of thousands of fathoms. 1 neither sulteied nor felt alarm, but had a vague feeling of being irresistibly borne to some catastrophe the climax of which would bo terrible. Suddenly 1 found myself jmjs sessed of lhoMwerol' floating or walling myself along by mere volition. Willi a tle licious feeling of languid indolence 1 suf fered myself tit float about not in Hie water, but in the air skimming over the surface of the grouiul iu whatever diiectioii 1 chose, hiiber and thither as a waywtuil fancy led. I was conscious that it was a now power, and I exulted iu its possession and reasoiied ou its natuic. I found that my body was as light as Hie air in which it moved, and imagined that a thistle down would feel aa 1 did, if Jw.sscssed of cou seiitusness. Then 1 w as 111 the water again, and everything around me had a roseate hue, which speedily turned lit green, then to violet, and finally to utter daikuess, and then all was black. As I subsequently learned, some men in a skiff a half a mile away had seen me fall into tho water and hunied to my assist ance, bill 1 had disappeared before they reached the spot. Many minutes elapsed before they found me, and full half au hour afterward bt-foie the physicians who had Iteeu summoned an i ved. I hey pronounced mo dead, and that they made any attempt to resuscitate me was due solely to the per sistence ftf an intimate fiieud of mine who had accompanied them. Nearly a dozen years afler the above ex po lie 1 ice I became a citizen of the West, and commenced oeiiiug a new farm iu a sparsely sett led country. Tlio placowas about leu miles from the nearest town, and one pleasant day, near the last of Decem ber, 1 went to the latter in a light spring wagon logo! some supplies for Christ mas festivities. The day was so mild that 1 did not even wear an overcoat. About the time 1 slatted borne, which was a little afler sundown, it begau to grow suddenly co.d, and presently a stoiin, almost amount ing lo a hunicaue, broke from tho north, bringing with it the leniierattire of Nova Zembla In this legiou of marked climatic vicissitudes I never befoie or since knew any so great. The meicuiy fell iu au hour lit forty degrees below zcik Under 01 -dmary circumstances I coull easily have made l he ride home in that time, but I was going iu the teeth of the wind, so that I could make but little over half Iho usual sjKii-d. 1 suffered severely fiom the cold, but no more th tn 1 had many a time be foie and have many a time since, but, as you may iiuugiuc, Mas anxious to gel home as quickly as possible. When i nad goi wiiimi a couple of miles ol there, 1 found the weather growing pleasant agaiu. My ears, that had stung and smarted with the Co hi, 110 longer troubled Die. My hands, though still numb, had a tiiin grip of tho lines, uud sealed iu the bottom, of the j wagon, with my back and shouldeis resting 1 011 Hie seat, I would have been quite cum- tollable, except lhat 1 was so drowsy Ilia I could scaicely keep awake, 1 Coiuloited myself with the it flection that 1 nouht soon be at home snugly tucked iu b.d, where I could sleep to my heart's content. Whilst indulging 111 this pleasing reverie 1 dropped asleep, and vvhal followed I only learned frjtu my family. They had concluded that, finding tho sudden change iu Icmpetuluie, 1 had either determined Ut sjiend Hie uij;hl 111 town, or had returned lucre tor that purpose, iu case 1 had stalled home before ll.o cold begau. Al eight o'clock, having given me uis Ihey retired to bed and lo sleep. About uine o'chtck my wile was awakened by iho repealed whinnying of a hoi so in trout of tho house. !ie never suspected thai il was mil s, but tis-ilt it for a stray, and fiom motives f humanity called up 0110 of Hit) men and ordered it to bo put iu the stable.

While Sir William Johnson was superin tendent of Indian affairs mi the Mohawk valley, iu lToo. one of his sUunchest friends was the old Mohawk sachem. Ilen drick. Sir William hail great cNmtide net iu the old chiefs judgment, -tnil seldom made a move against the hostile udhtiis and French without consulting him. "If they are to tight. :hey are tint few, if they are lit W killed, ihey 'are too nuny," was his laconic 1 espouse to Johnston's quest ion touching lite propriety of sending out a small ltody of men winch be hail 0rga111z1.1l against an expected invasion. On a certain occasion Sir William was unpacking a large ln.x of clot b ing which lie had just received from England.

Willi; morning, however, the chieftain waited n pm. the goveruoi for a purifisc, as was evident fiom the intensity 4f his look. "Sir Willaim." said he with wide ojien eyes, ami a geneial expression of womlei, "me have a great dream last night. .Me dream that you say to me, HJiaid Iletiiliick. you have W-eu my fiienil, and now I will rewaid you. Ami you gave me the new coat, with the blight gold on it, that c.ltne in the laix."' The baronet reflected a few moments, and finally said : "It is tiue, lletid:iek. you have Wen my friend. The coat is you is." The chief went away fairly Wside him self with delight. A few flays after that said Sir William said ttt his dusky ally : "Heudiick, I had adieam last night." "Ah. and what did my white Liother dieam ?" "I dieatned that you took me by the hand and said to me, "Sir William John sou, you have Iteen tnv tine fiien.l and I will give you proof of my great love for you.' And you jjave ttt me the track ftf land on the gieat river and Canada crei-k," describing a square triit..iv embracing ueaily one hundred thousand acres of choice land. Tho old chieftain was for a little time mtcilv confounded. This was the faitest of his domain. But he w as not to be out done in geneiosity. "My pale-faced biothet," he at length said, "the land is youis." And after a pause he added, with signi ficant nod : "Sir William, we won't ilieam any nioie. You dream too big for me." The title of the land was confirmed 10 Sir William by the British government and called the Royal grant. The land north of the Mohawk and lay mostly iu what is now Heikimcr county. An Ami-sing Incident. A raiher amusing iilcident is told as having ttccur rcd recently at a church it: Connecticut, not many miles fiom FaiHield.
