AN INCIDENT OF FORT LIGONIER Tho followine Listorical remiuiscences of Old Fort Lipouior lias been furnished us, says the Indiana Messenger, through the kindness of a friend. It is well to revive the iucidenta of the days gone by occasion ally, and thinking this article will be of general iuteiUBt we - publish it. It is as follows : Fort Lifjonicr was erected as early as 1753, and for many years afterward was the only military post between Carlisle and Foit Fitt. It was tho home of the gallant tho unfortunato St. Clair, and served as a depot for such military stores as wero thou essentia) for tho protection of the settle ments against thegaborgiues of tho west and northwest, generally known as the "Six Nations." After the general treaty of peaco between France, England and Spain, in 1702, the Indians became more pacific than they bad previously been, and continued so uutil the following year, when they again renewed hostilities at various poiuts along the frouticr, and from cert ate indications the Cominatidaut' at Fort Pitt concluded that a general attack of the tribes inhabiting the couutry between the Alleghenies and the Lakes was meditated upon that post. Ho tberoforo made a requisition on the Government for an additional force, and. early in Juue, 1763. Colonel Bouqot, with 500 regulars, set out from Carlisle on their match toward Fort Pitt with a view to re lieving its garrisou. As the Indians had mostly withdrawn to the west of the Alle ghenies, the troops bad nothing to fear from them cast of the great dividing ridge, but Buffered much on account of bad roads and the dilScuItyof crossing the iutorvuniug streams, then altogether destitute of bridges. At and for quite a while previous to that period, Fort Ligonicr was occupied by a company of forty men, under the com mand of Blaiue, a gallant young officer who had been called to that post by Gen, St. Clair, and who was, in every way, worthy of the coulidcuce reposed in him by his superior. Iuhe spring of 1703 several small par ties of Indians, feiguing great love and friendship for the settlers, visited the fort under various pretences, and wore always treated kindly while they remained, a:id furnished with provisions when they de parted. They were generally accompanied by a young warrior named Maidenfoot, a stn of the celebrated chief, Cornstalk. It so happened on one of theso occasional vis its, .that a Mr. M., with Lis wife and daughter, the latter a girl of eleven years of age, wero also at tho fort. Maidenfoot, who -could speak English, -soon found means to engage tho young girl iu conver htior, and to his inquiry in regard to her place of residenco was told that she resided with her father about a milo from tho fort up the little valley. Having gained this iuformaVlo'u ho sank into profound sileuco, nor did he speak to any one while he re mained. When the party were about leav ing ho approached Miss M. and presented her with a string of beads, without, how ever, uttering a syllable, and then turned on his heel and strode away. The beads wero. highly prized both by tho girl and her parents, more, perhaps, on account of their being an Indian's present, thau from any intrinsic value they possessed, and were worn with girlish pride by tho former, whenever she wished to "show oft" to ad vantage. This continued for some time, uutil the novolty of the thine had worn olF, and then the beads were laid by iu an old chest drawei, and were not disturbed again and perhaps not thought of for several weeks. One day in July of tho same year, Mrs. M. proposed to visit, in company with her daughter, tho lady of a gontleman liv ing a short distance on tho opposite side of the Fort and cither by chance or from a desiro to appear in "full dress," the young gitl got hull of tho mislaid beads and strung thetn around her neck. Tho two set out together early in the day aud walked along leisurely, as the weather was warm and sultry. Arriving within severai hundred yards of tho Fort, they wero sud denly arrested in their progress by two tall Indians who sprang out of tho bushes into the path with uplifted tomahawks, which they kept braudishipg over their beads, at the same tii.io commanding thetn to keep silent if thoy wished to save their lives. Neither Mrs. M. or her daughter uttered a word, for they wore too well acquainted with the In.lian character to suppose that anything they con Id say would be of the least avail. Each was seized by an Indian, and led some distance ii tho direction they had come, when they were bid to sit down, and were then tied to a sapling with buffa lo thongs, and in that condition left to the care of one of their captors, whilothe other hastily withdrew in the direction of the Fort and a fow moments afterward the report'of at least fifty cities broke upon their ears. Tho Indians, to the number of severaj hundred, had lain in ambush aronnd the Fort, and had only been waiting a fa vorablo opportunity to commence an attack upon it. But apprehending that the fe males whom they had captured might bave been expected there, and that their non- arrival might cause Lieutenant Blaine, to send oat a scouting party, whereby their presence must necessarily be discovei-Qd, and their object defeated, they resolved upon immediate action, and made a furious outot in the expectation of being able to surprise the garrison aud get possessiou of tho fort. But they were Btoutly met and successfully resisted. The battle raged for several hours, and while tho two captive females were trembling with apprehension aud fear, amid the din and glaro of battle and yells of savages, Maidenfoot appeared before them. Miss M. immediately recog nized him, and, pointing to the beads, was about to speak, when the young warrior motioned her to be silent. A few hasty words then passed between Lira and the guard, after which tho latter withdrew, aud started in the direction of the foit. Maidenfoot then in a low tone said, "you are safe," and cutting tho cord, ho mo tioned to tho captives to follow him, while ho plunged into tho nearest thicket. Obeying him, they ran at a rapid rate for somo distance, and soon wero hid in the thick forests, together, and, carefully avoiding the path, in a quarter of an hour they came in eight of Mr. M.'s dwelling. Iu leaping tho Tenco into her father's fiold Miss M. dropped a whito handkerchief upon which had been worked her name with black silk thread. Maidenfoot picked it up, and carefully folding it, deposited it in his bullet pouch, remarking with asmilo that ho wished to retain it fjjr his sister, llo then left tho two females, having first urged them to seek safety in the mountains at a place which he pointed out, assuring them, at the same time, that if further danger threatened, he would bo with them in the course of tho night, and that if they saw nothing more of him, they would le safo iu returning homo by uoou of tho fol lowing day. Encouraged by theso assurances, after thanking tho young- warrior for their de liverance, the females hastened to tho house, and iu a few minutes, accompanied by Mr. M., repaired to the designated spot in the mountain, where they remained till the afternoon of tho next day, as directed, aud then returned to their home, where they found all things as they had left tLero. Maidenfoot having placed the captives in safety, returned to the fort, where the as sault was continued for several hours, iu the course of which a few of the assailants wero. killod and a number wounded. The loss of the besieged consisted of three men killed. Fiuding all their efforts to carry the fort unavailing, the Indians finally withdrew about one o clock iu the after- uoon, and haviug learned from their run ners who came in early in the eveuing that Col. Boquet with his dctachmeut would reach the Fort, tho next day, they hastily drew off in the night, without making any further effort to accomplish the object of their expedition. Boquet reached toe fort on the next day. as had been expec ed. He staid here eight or ten days to rost-his men, and then re sumed his march toward Fort Pitt, leaving 1:1s wagons at Ligouicr, and carrying bis baggage on pack horses. The Indians, still desirous of preventing him from relieving tho garrison at Fort Pitt, had, in the meantime, concentrated their forces, amonuting to about 1,200, at Bushy Run, where they attacked him on tho oth of Ausnst. " i Tho battle lasted from 1 o'clock p. m. till dark, and u number had been killed and wounded on both sides. The daikness f tho nrlit put an eid to the conilict for the time, but IJoquct 3 men wero compelled to sleep on their arms, and suffered runclt for tho want of water, the springs in tho vicinity being well guarded by the savages. In the morning, a little before the break of day, Capt. Campbell was ordered to place himself in ambush with 100 men. in tho rear of tho Indian encampment, anil immediately after daylight Boquet, with he main body, feigued a retreat. This manoeuvre succeeded. Tho Indians, on perceiving tho troops retire from their position, made toward them in a confused mass, aud as soon as they had arrived within musket shot Bo quet ordered his men to face about and firo upon them. Captain Camplcll in the meantime coming upon them in tho rear, they wero exposed to an enfilade on both sides. A fow well directed volleys decided the battle, and the Indians tied in every direction, leaving tho tield iu the quiet possession of the troops. Boquet was not- further molested, aud in two days reached Fort Pitt. Tho Indians having suffered severely io their recent expedition, aban doned, their design upon that post, and 10- turned to their homes. I heir subsequent operations were confined mostly to the set tlements on the borders of l'ouusylvama and Virginia, where for several years they committed numerous depredations and- murdcrs, which led to tho fitting out suc cessively of tho expeditious under Craw ford, Harnior and St.-Clair, all of which terminated disastrously to the trops on gaged in them. At length tLo Govern ment saw the necessity of sending out a strong force to put an end to tho murder ous incursions of the savages, which were becoming more aud more fn quent. This fnice was placed under tho command of Geii.;VY.iyii, with the result of vvh-jno oper ations tho reader is no doubt nlrcady ac quainted. Tho'defcat which tho Indians stuTcicd at the "Fallen Timber" had the efioct of preventing further attacks upon tho settlements, and from this tinio for ward poaco and quietness reigned along the borders. At tho time of which we arc writing, Fort Washington, ou the Ohio, vfas a frontier fortress, around which wero opened out several farms, tho owners of which, on any signs of danger from tho Indians, would geuorally seek safety with in its walls. 1 lie proprietor of one of these farms had been a Pennsylvania!, but was now dead, and the estate was bold by an officer in the army, who had married his only daughter. The officer, whoso name was Kearney, bad the command of a company of infantry at tho battle of the r alien Timber, and contributed largely to the success of the day. After the closo of the battle ho, in com pany with several other officers, was walk ing over tho ground whero such dreadful carnage had just beou committed. On stepping upon a small hillock, the party were -surprised to see an aged Indian, wearing a highly ornamented dress, sitting on a log a short distance beyond, and waving a white handkerchief wjth his band. Ono of the officers, whose brother had beru killed tliat day, on perceiving the Indian, leveled Lis gun at him, 'aud was ab ut to blow out his brains, when Capt. Kearney interfered and stopped bim from executing his design. They then walked leisurely toward- the Indian, who continued all the while waving his white handkerchief. Ou Hearing htm they saw a rifle, tomahawk, scalping knife aod bole wore lying on the ground beside him, and Kjokiug him bteritly iu the fact;, dpi, Kearney demanded the cause of his. being there in that situation. The Indian rising, addressed him as follows : "Maiden fuot was once young; hetniited the elk and the deer on the great mountain ; he accompanied the war parties of his tribe and proved himself a man ; he tried to resist the onward march of the enemy, the palo face, toward the sorting sun ; he fought at. Ligonier, at Bushy linn, at Samlnsky, the Wabash, the Maumee ; he canie to the fallen timber and took his post on yonder hillock; his ytung men stood on his right and on his left, but when the pale faces came they fled like sqnaws ; their iMxlies lie strewn round in the bushes, food for crows and bnzzards. Maidenfoot Isold and alone, but he is no coward ; he stood his ground like a warrior, and has leeome a chief and has laid down the hatchet and will never lift it again ; he wants peace, he wants rest, he desires to live in the wigwam of the pale faee ; hero is r token f friendship (holding out the hand kerchief) ; the innocent dove who once wore this emblem of peace may still be alive, and would nbt deny Maidenfoot the Ikiou he now asks life, peace, rest." After the delivery of this harangue by the son of tho forest, Capt. Kearney laid hold on tho handkerchief, and to his sur prise found on it tho name of Mary M., the maiden name of his wife. lie had often heard her relate the inci dent of her rescue at Ligonier by a young warrior who had obtained from her a, pocket handkerchief, bearing her name ou its binder. The young warrior, old and forsaken, stood here" before him entreating his favor: Could lie refuse to grant it? No ! He took the old man with him to his home, whero the unexpected meeting be tween him and Mrs. Kearney excited uot a littlo interest. Although the incident which led to their first acquaintance happened near a quar ter of a century before, they immediately recognized each other, and both . shed tears in profusion, Mrs. Kearney had carefully preserved tho beads, which in early life tho had received from Maiden foot as a present, and which on one occa sion had been the means of saving her from captivity and death. To Capt. Kear ney's inquiry as to what bad prompted him to bestow that present, and bow he had managed for nearly thirty years to preserve the handkerchief obtained after wards, Maidenfoot replied, that at the time ho met Miss M. in the fort he had' just lost a sister about her age, that the circumstance weighed so heavily upon him as to arouse all the finer feelings of his na ture, and that nnder the influence of these feelings he resolved to adopt the pale face girl in his sister's stead, and to cherish her as snch during life. The handkerchief be said he had carried in a leather belt, care fully wrapped up, and that every thirteenth moon from the time he received it be had opened it by way of commemorating tho event which bad placed it in his possession, as well as for tho purpose of keeping him steadfast in tho resolutiou ho Lad then formed. Capt. Kearney had the beads and hand kerchief, which each in turn had been the means f savitig tho life of an individual, carefully preserved during the remainder of his life and they are said to be still in tho hands of one of his family. Maiden foot, in accoidanco with his wishes, was taken into tho family of Capt. Kearney, and no means wojre spared to lender his situation comfortable and agreeable. He was generally cheerful and very soon ac quired a knowledge of and applied him self to the arts of civilization. But his constitution began to give way and he soon sunk under a lingering con sumption. Capt. Kearney had cherished a high regard for him during his life, which he manifested after his death, by having him buried with military honors. In a small church-yard in the suburbs of Cin cinnati, tho ancient site of Fort Washing ton, the curious may seo the plain marblo slab which covers the remains of tho no ble hearted Indian with tho simple in scription, "In memory of Maidenfoot, an Indian chief of tho eighteenth century, who died a civilian and a Christian." Akotufk Fish Stout. The pleasing picture of the Iowa heorino, who had two pickerel under harness and was drawn by them up and down a pond in a beautiful littlo boat, was tho sweetest fish story ever clipped with an exchange editor's shears. But who shall say thai tho ingenuity yf the local chronicler has got to the cud of its tether and devised tho sweetest possiblo lish story? Hero is the Whitehall Times, for instance, with a romance of the queen of the speckled beauties. A man has an artificial tiout pond with at. least 3,000,fiKh, each weighing from a half a poubd to two pounds, more or less. lie also has a little girl, five ears old, who Las succeeded iu training the fish so that she can go to the edgo of the pond and with a handful of crumbs food them from hor chubby hand. They have learned to jump out of tho water and snatch worms fioni her lingers and they aie extremely fond of their littlo mistress. Onc'day she lost hoi balance and pitched headlong into the water whore it was deep. She says that when she went "way down" she called lustily for help. Her cries quickly attracted her parents, and they wero horrified ai seeing the little girl floating upon the surfaco of tho pond. The father rushed to the water, and reach ed out for his pet, and as ho raised her from tho water a perfect solid mass of trout was found beneath her. these fa:tj:tul subjects of the littlo queen, as she fell, quickly gathered beneath her and thus showed their love for their mistress by beating up bcr body uutil aid arrived, thus preventing tor from meeting a watery grave. Tis a beautiful talo, but the next filo from tho Far West may have another still lovelier. Af the nights am now getting cool wo would suggest to some of our young men who had thoir hair cut short during tho re cent warm weather, that a eld may bo prevented by taking the rubber off the head of an ordinary lead pencil and draw ing it over tho head before retiring. On some beads it may fit rather tightly, but by a little perseverance most of them can get tho rubber down as far as ihe ears. This covering can be replaced on the pencil in the morning, and thus Berve a double purpose. A 8t.

AX EXGIXEEK'S STOKY. . It was a sad 6cene Around Tom's bed at the hospital was his wife and Tom's old father. Tom had a house of his own, but as the accident had happened at our end of the line, somo 70. miles from Pfrring'on, he had been taken at once to the hospital. I knew Tom quite well, for, as I was in the pay department, when I traveled occasion ally on Lis section of tho road it was most ly on Tom's engine. Tom was a niattor-of-fact man, temperate, well educated for his station iu life, and jiot given to whiran. It was touch and go w ith Tom, but at last, thanks to good nursing, he seemed to bo comiug slowly around. Though bo might bo crippled, still there were hopes that he would not lose his place. If, at the worst, he couldn't run his engine, he misht find a berth iu tho company's repair shops, for ho was a good all round mechanic. Tom was ablo to sit up, when I last saw him. For tho first time he seemed chatty. His mind would, however, revert to tho as cident, in which some cicht eople had been killed outright, aud somo twenty-five wounded. A careful investigation had followed the accident, and as it was clear ly proven that it was no fault of Tom's, I didn't sec why ho should mope-so aud seem to have tronblo on his conscience l?uu ker," said Torn to mo, "it's in my mind, a il it will take years before that accident will bo cleaned off of my brain. If if I had only followed my inclinations, 1 never should have iuu 33. Eight killed and 2- wounded ! I never thought of that before that makes 33 !" "Nonsense, Tom," I said; "what has 33 todowith it ?" "No, it ain't nonsense. I felt she was growing vicious. She was but 18 months old, and had been running rather ugly, when six months ago she got to bo as cruel as a tiger. She showed it to mc, I ought to have knowu it " "Come." old man," I replied gently, in terrupting him. "It's tho stimulants that you have been taking, by the doctor's orders, and your nerves are uu strung. Take some of this calming medicine the doctor has left for you, and stop talking." "I ain't a bit nervous, but am aa cool as a cucumber, and my head is as clear as a bell. I aiu't a bit shaky. Now just you listen. Thirty-three was built iu a com pany's shop, aud I had a band iu her con stiuctiou. Just the day be fore wo put steam in her there came an old fellow in to the shop who claimed that we were in fringingvn an injector or feeder, or some thing of bis invention. Tt wasn't any of our business in the shop, bo," though we were civil, he didn't get much redress. He was a cussiug us for thieves, and all that kind of thing, for stealing his pateut, when Ihe boss of the shop walked njs and hearing the chinning, ordered tho old man out. It was Bob Harrington that bustled the old fellow out, nnder the boss' orders, of course. Just as the old fellow 'got to the door, and Bob was bounchig him, be turned round aud wished that eveiy one of us around that engine might .meet our death. Wo thought him crazy. Well, 33 was put on the road, and Bill Given ho tan her. She commenced light off killing stock. It was a cow or a horse that was smashed roost every week. It was alleged that Bill was to blame, aud bo was dis charged. Then Bill to.k to drinking, and went to tho bad. Bu.b Hairington then got sick of shop work, and took his old place of engineer. Just then ho married Sue Morris. I was at tho weddii.g, seeing that Sue is a second cousin of my Jenny. Now, Bub had gone through tho war, and wasn't skecry. This spring it was in May I met Bub at Hoppling Junction. Denny Keef was his helper, and 33 had a hot journal, or something was out of kelter, aud Deuny Keef was a cooling and oiling hor. I was running 93, and was on tne siding waiting for Iho through freight to pass. Says Bnb to rue, 'Tom, 1 ain't go ing to run 33 no more.' 'Why?' says I. 'Cause she's showing temper,' sajs ho. How?' says I, laughingly; and remember I borrowed some cavendish fom him. 'Tim,' says h, 'engines is li'rfc humans. For a week past has been showir.g spite.' Mcbbuslie want s overhauling ?' says I. " 'Nary a bit,' says Bub. 'She is just out of the shop, Sho makes steam kind of reckless, and wants watching. I have to keep my eyes on tho steam gauyc all the time. Sometimes, out of pure cusedness, sho won't but u her coals, and all of a sud den you would think sho wanted to melt outlier grate-bars. She is always a get, ting something jammed or sprung, and heating on her bearings, no matter how you keep 'cm ilod. She is 1m ginning to throw sparks and burning up things. 'Ihrec days ago tho se t li:c toau awumg in a Siiop a full mile fioni her.' Oool your head, Bud, says i, me next water tank.' Just then the frtight train passed along, and 1 starttd my old engine, and wo wont lii'ubciing along. How it happened I don't know, but the face of tho old man in the nhop who had cursed us ap'-eared before me, That very night S3 killed poor Bub Harrington 1" 'Nonsense, man !' 1 exclaimed. 'No it is no nonsense. As Bub was crossi!!"-' Sane's bridge, over Soldier's Creek, be put his head out of the cab win dow. Somo of the hands had boon work iugon tLe biidge, and had left a bit of scaffold, a piece of 4 by G ninare tuff, hanging over a HUSS. HiS Ulu nuin-iv plumb against it, ho tumbled out of tho cab a dead man, and the tender cut him in iwo That very next week 33 was snoved on mo. I told Jenny I dklu't want her, and Jenny sho laughed at ree. I was mighty careful of her. Fh&t thing tbo did, that was Monday, two wfeks ago, was to play hob with a wedding party. There was three carriages in a fito, and they were crossing the bridge at Staploton, most 3D feet above tho track. I stopped the ex haust to kill her snortiiig, and was sliding down grade, making no uoiso woith nieu tioninr, when Iho borees in the l.rst car riage got frightened and turned lound, and last I see of 'em they was galloping down thohi!l. , "Stop, Tom, how do you know they were people going to a wedding?' I in q.tired skeptically. ".'Didn't I read about it next daym the Ftap'.eton paper? I was kind of thankful that it was no worse. Tho man cnly bad his collar-bone broken aud a couple of ribs smashed, and tho marriage had to be po-t-ru,et Next night she killed ber first tnau. Yon know Mather Hollis?' 'Yes, a half-wiiu d lad.' 'So Ihev said he was, hut be was a hu man being all the same. Never was known tn hav done snch a thing before and. ....or fellow, bo never will tK :t again. 1' i i.itetl -Ink.

We never saw l.iiu nr itl'.cr I nor" Keef, the fireman, until ! pUhkI right up on the track brfjre us. He might havo got tifT but for hi fi;b-po'.n. That was driven clean through him. I got down-hearted then. 1 felt that something' dreadful was Hi store for mc. One t'.iti' . about 33 that was strange was that, ftotn being a tiny etifrine, all of a sudden frl.c got to ba dirty, always splashing heiself with oil and accumulating cinders. A week passed along without aiijthit.g Lap-' ening, only she kept burning more coal than she should, so that I was grumbled at for waste. Bight off on starting she r-lnw-ed her spite on a littlo gitl lhat Irad crept almost on the track. So help me heaven, I think tho cursed beast of an engine tolled childicn tu the track. We just grazi-d that baby. Everything went contrary that morning. Ieimy Keef, Vho was a nieiry fellow, would keep a ci acking jokes but I couldn't laugh. Fiist, there was a bother : about a freight train that had hioken tin axle ahead ef tis. That kept ns back. A5 Cm ley's the statieui master got orders for mc to make up some 1G minutes I had lost, because there was an excursion train back of me, wanting to bo on time for a rowing match as was to take place on Lilly Lake. Well, I let her have it, and the just took tho bone in her teeth, and kind of shrieked and howled, her whist Jo keeping a moaning. Every now and then 1 had my hand on tho throttle to bo" certain of her. It badu't been raining for some days, and I knew no slcejers could bo looe, and that there were no washaways. But I bad a kind of pre sentiment. I seen the face, of the old man aud Bub Harrington. Poor Bub was be fore mo when . All I remember was seeing poor Denny Keef mangled by my side. I could hear my God ! Isis bones crunch! AU I knew after that was that I was in bed here, with poor Jenny a-crjing; oyer me. They say it was a broken rail. Now, in freezing weather a rail can break but in summer mostly never." It was 33 that bad made up her mitid to go a k illing. The only thing I am glad about is that 33 has gone to hell. When Mr. Malcorub, that's the boss of our repair shop, came to see me this morning, (he's been mighty kind, his wife a-sending me jellies anil soups,) he asked me If I had no inquiries to make alout 33. "33, said he, is ground up into fine bits. Just a lot of smashed up, taugled and bat tered Iron. Her bed-frame even Is tracked. "Only fit for the scrap pile ?' I asked. " That's whero most of her Is now ? said Mr. Malcomb. " 'Thank God for tha'qt' says I ; for a more murderous engine the hand of man never turned out. !3he was accursed befoio site started.' " Poor Tom bad a bad relapse which end ed in brain fever which set In that nigh. Poor Jennie is a widow now. Tom raved about 33 ui-.til exbaustiou came, wheu be passed away. As it was easy for mo to have access ten the machinery account and accident Imm -k of the road, I did look lip tho history of ?, and am forced to say that toor Tom.Maa sey s stoiy, as far as related to that partic ular engine, was true to the letter.
