EXECUTION OP COOK AND COPPIE,
[ ’rim bodies of tho two negro prisoners having boon
[brought back, to tho jail at about a quarter to twolvo
[o'clock, notice was given to Cook and Coppio that
itboir time was approaching, only one hour more ho
ling allowed them.. Tho military movements similar
[to thosaat tho iirst execution wore repeated; and a
hargo wagon ,with two more coffins was standing at
[the door of tho jail at half-past 12 o’clock. The
[same military escort was in readiness. Meanwhile
[‘the closing religious ceremonies wore progressing iii
[tho coll. Since the .failure of Cook and Coppio to
[escape last night, 'their assumed composure and ap
parent'resignation had given way, and'tlioy now
Rooked; at tho reality ,of their fate with tho, convic
tion of its awful certainty- . They were reserved and
[rather quiot, but joined with fervor in the religious
[coromonios, conducted by the Kov. Messrs. North,
f£ohr, and Waugh. -When called upon by tho Sher
[iff, thby stood calm and quietly whilst their arms
iworo being pinioned, and after bidding farewell to
[tho guards of the jail, wore helped into the wagon
[and took seats on their coffins. Their.appearance
[was rather, that of hopeless doSpair than of resigna
tion, and they seemed to take but little notion of
[anything as the procession slowly moved on to, tho
[hold of, death..
[ Tho wagon reached tho scaffold at thirteen min
[utes before one o’clock, and tho prisoners ascended
[with a determined tirmness scarcely Surpassed by
[that of Capt. Bto.wn. A brief prayer, was offered up
[by ono of tho clergymen, the ropes. were adjusted,
[the caps' drawn ; over their heads, dud both were
[launched into'cternity.in seven minutes after they
[had ascended, the gallows. . They both exhibited the
[most unflinching firmness, saying.nothing with tho
[exception of ' bidding farewell to, the ministers and
[biletiff....
I After tho ropo was adjusted, about Cook's nock,
go exclaimed, */ Co quick, as quick us possible/’
trfdcli was also repeated by Coppio. Aftorhauglug
about thirty minutes; both bodies wore taken. down
Bnd placed, in black walnut coffins prepared for
them. -That’of C.ook was then placed 1 in a poplar
pox labelled'.and directed aa follows: ’•

Tho coffin of Coppio was placed iu a similar box,
to:bo forwajded to his mother iu lowa.
~ ’ ’ ANOTHER ACCOUNT:
I. FniuiY, Bco.‘ 10.—-The prisoners, Cook
land Coppie, were visited by the Rev. Messrs. North,
IWfiUgU and Lehr, .
I ; Previous to their departure for the scaffold, the
[prisoners wore engaged in , tho entrance ia washing
[their feet and .putting on their under clothing.
I. 'Captain Avis told them if they had anything -to
teay that they could say it thou, iu tho presence of
[fifteen- or- twenty persona/ '
| Mr. Cook replied that lio was grateful indeed, for
[the kindness shown him by. Sheriff . Campbell, the
[jailor, and'tho guards; to Rev. Messrs. Waugh,
[North,-Littoll,.Lehr, and other ministers, who bad
[manifested an interest iu his welfare ; and Messrs.
LTos..P. Blessing and John J: Locke, as n?ell as the
[(iitizone.generally, for their kindness towards him.
[ At thi&ipoint, Coppio looked up, and said/'them’s
wny sentiments, gentleman.” . ’
[ Cook then gave directions in regard to one or two
[articles j ono of them a breast-pin, be. did not want
[taken off then nor at tho scaffold. He wished it
[given to his wife' or His boy, if ho lived. Within
[his shirt bosom, on the loft side, was a daguerreo-.
[type.and a lock of his sou’s hair, which he wished
[to bo giveu to his wife.
ft Both of the prisoners requested , that their arms
>*M\t bo pinioned tight enough-to stop thc.clr
rculatiou of tho blood, which was complied with.
• A blue cloth, tdlma was thrown over Coppio and a
)dark one over Cook.
Baring those procecdings Coppio was struggling
'to keep down, his emotion, and Cook, was striving to
be balm. A Quaker gentleman' then remarked—“lt
is hard to die!”. To which Coppio responded— u lt
ia the parting from friends, not the dread of death,
■ that moves us.”
;Ok tho- way down - stairs they wore * allowed -to
advance‘to the coll of.Stovohs and Jlualott to bid
them-'farewell. TbOy shook hands cordially and
Cook said to Stevens —“My friend, good bye,'’.
! Stevens replied “Good bye I cheer up! give my
love to.my friends in the other world.”
[ JCoppio Also made a remark to Stevens, which was
unheard by the crowd, hut Stevens replied, “Never
nind.” /Both then shook hands with Xlazlctt and
jid bim good bye, bub did not ball him by name.
’ • bn.om.Qrging from the jail, .Cook recognized sov
ral .gentlemen and bowed politely.
After, : tliocaps bad boon .placed on their heads,'

land as far as possible. At the same" time Cook
aid—“stop a minute, where is Edwin’s hand?”
They then shook hands cordially, and Cook said:

A CALUMNIATOR REBUKED.
-.- Wo aro glad to Soo that tho Northern dem
ocratic Senators have taken in hand Mr; Iver
son tho ultra democratic Senator from Geor
gia. Men of the Iverson stamp arc as for
“ diftho track” as (ho Abolitionists thomsolvos,
■and do about as much harm.. This Georgia
fire-eater needs a thorough overhauling, and
wo hope hh will receive it. A fewdays since
this Georgia Senator, in delivering, a blood
and thunder speech in tho Senate had the im
pudence to assail the democracy of tho North,
and among other reckless and libellous asser
tions, remarked “■ that a large portion of the
Democratic party at tho North wore as rotten
bn the subject of abolitionism as tho Black
Republicans themselves.” No wonder that
the Northern Democratic Senators wore shock
ed at hearing so sweeping a charge,, and one
at once sounkind,;ungratoful and false. Sen
ator Bigler of this State immediately replied
to him 1 in a manner ho deserved, and hauled
him over the coals without mercy. During
Senator Bigler's reply, Mr.. Iverson attemp
ted to offer lame apologies, and to explain
away, the meaning of the language he had
used, but his explanations were not heeded,
and ho was put through a “ hackling 1 ’ that
will/ wm trust, teach him better manners here
after. Wo do not believe Mr. Iverson, in de
nouncing the Northern democracy, represents
tho sentiments and feelings of any portion of
the Southern Democrats/ But,' to Sen tor Big
ler’s reply to tho Georgia fire-eater:
Mr. Bigler. Mr. President, I hoard tho re
marks of the Senator from Georgia, with pain
and regret. I know thoin to be utterly un
warranted by the facts of the case, aud that
the accusation was as unjust as any accusa
tion couldho. Tho simple declaration, aside
from the circumstances which surrounded it,
does not give it its full force. Tho* Senator
from Georgia had for some time indulged in
his peculiar description of tho Opposition par- ■
ty aud of tho Abolition party rathe North;,
and then, to my utter amazement; in ’round
terms, without qualification; ho declared that
a large portion of the Democratic party at tho
North wore qs rotten ou this subject—,
Mr. Pumt. “As corrupt.”
Mr. Bigler. , As corrupt on this .subject as
the Republican party, or the Abolitionists.-
“ This subject.” . "What subject ?.. The Sena
tor was.reviewing the whole scope of abolition
fooling in the North, and said that on this
subject a portion of tho northern. Democracy
wore as corrupt as the Abolitionists. Now,
sir, I toll him without foar-of contradiction,'
that his assertion is without; any foundation
iu fact; the accusation is totally and entirely
unjust. I say not only that no portion of the
Democratic party sympathized with BrOwn in
his atrocious outrage upon the.sovereigu State
of Virginia, but, they do not sympathize witli
abolitionism in. any phase whatever, or to any
extent whatever, f was gratified with the
Senator’s disclaimer,, sir, so far as it wont; but
justice at . his hands requires that lie say'of
the northern Democracy, as an organization
and as a body, what you cannot say for your
self, that is, that we have labored' day after
day, in season and out of season, in defease of
tho-rights and interests of our sister States.
Mr. Iverson..; Mr.. President, I said that
very thing in the remarks which I uttered.; —
I gave credit to the sound portion of the north
ern Democracy in language which could not
be misunderstood. 1 referred; when ! spoke
of the rottenness of a portion of the Democrat-.
■ io party, to that portion of the Democratic par
ty which, under tho lead of Stephen A. Doug
las, has denied" to the southern people their
rights in the Territories.ofthe Union. ,:
Mr. Bigler. ■ Rottenness’of-the Democrat
ic party, on tho slavery question! Sir, the
Senator can hardly realize-the ofionslvonpss
of the term. I know, sir, ho duos not intend
to apply it to myself, but it is unjust wiSta
applied to (my portion of the Democratic par
ty. ' "Why, sir,--thousands -of xvitnessesi wlll
spring up iu every northern. State, on every
hill-top and in every valley, on every rostrum,
and bn the corners of the’streets, daily arid
hourly contradicting every statement he lias
made. Tho Opposition, of every shade; con
tradict him. Tlioy call us the dough-faces of
the. North, yielding constantly to southern dic
tation and southern aggressions."
Now, sir, I can see ono viojr. only which
may have led the Senator from Georgia into
error on this question, and it is this: ho has
confounded the different phases of the slavery
question, as ho has shown here this morning,
and adopted his own peculiar views of , what
constitutes abolitionism. * T do not mean to
say that all,the northern Democrats concur
with his.views on the question of slavery in
the 'rofHfoi'ids. Ido not mean to say that the
northern Democrats,: as a whole and as indi
viduals, would go with him in what he. might
deem local policy for a Territory; but I do
say that I have never discovered, anywhere,
any portion of them sympathizing with the_
Abolition party; and as far as tho raid of
John Brown is concerned, it has been de
nounced in every corner of' the country by
.Democrats, and by tho Democratic press, in
terms of bitterness equal to those used by.the
Senator from Georgia. - Idiavo heard Brown-S
-foray denounced in all parts of nry State, ana
I would- bo glad to convince tbe-Senatorthat;
on that point.he is utterly mistaken, life
■northern Democracy not only do not sympa
thize, with Brown, but they denounce him and
his raid in tho bitterest' tot-ms possible ; and
further let me say that the people of my Stale,
tho Democratic pai-ty-Sa a whole, .arid a large
element of those who act .against us in that
State, have entertained ‘the. most profound
'contempt for Brown and his.. abettors, and
were ready, at any hour, to have gone to tho
aid of Virginia, and to maintain her in her
just rights, and have repelled any invasion of
her territory.' Not pnly. that, sir, but I can
say to that Senator safely, wo are not only
bound to Virglnia'aud the South by the con
ventional arrangements that bind tho sover
eign. States together, liut by every tie that can
link together a common people, descendants
of a common parentage,” actuated by similar
and noble motives. If there he that entire
alienation in tho North from the. South that
some feel that there is,
I have never,encountered it; God forbid that’
l over should. Thait there is too much of it,
that there is bad feeling there oh the part of
a band of wild fanatics, and that these men
find countenance for .their net in much that
has fallen from distinguished men of the Re
publican party, is true;, but, sir, the Demo
cratic party, nor any portion of if, has coun
tenanced or sympathized in these sentiments
and movements.
I am aware that Democrats, thousands of
them, will-tell-you that slavery should not go
into this Territory or into that. They have
the right to-do that. Their judgment is as
sacred to theta as yours is to'you; They are
not Abolitionists. They will toll you,..w all
probability, that, if they lived in your cotton
or rice growing States, they would bo for sla
very there i but-looking at Kansas, its oh-,
mate, its soil, and all its surroundings, they
would say “ No; wo will not vote for slavery
in that Territory ; wo will not vote for it there
as a matter simply of local policy—-as a more
question of political economy. Ihoy would
judge that the institution would not advance,
such a State, because it was too ftir North.-r-
Theso men are not to be called AbolitionwUb
They do not go about daily exciting the pop
ular.mind against the institution of slavery .
It is riot they' who allege that it is iinmoia
and wrong, and oppressive and unjust to hold
slaves. They do not belong to that class ot
sentimentalists who excite popular indigna
tion and discontents iri regard to slavery;; who
attempt to make the world behove that il they
had the control of the question, they could, in
some way or other, elevate arid dignity the At- 1
rican rape—that they could make them equal
to tho white, race. No, sir;. thoy ; area differ-,
ont class of inch; and it did seem to mo' that
the Senator from Georgia had confounded
these two classes, and in that way fell into
error.
New, sir, I do not agree with all that J udgo
Douglas has said on the territorial question,
but I"do not agree that ho is an Abolitionist.;
I have never heard that alleged anywhere.—
"This controverted question, with regard to
slavery in tho Territories, seems to be end
less, I will declare in a very'few words, as I
have declared hero before, what I have to say
ou it, and that is simply this: Wo do not
claim that the Constitution establishes slavery
anywhere- op -prohibits it anywhere, but the
Constitution most expressly declares that the
States are perfectly equal, and provides that
■new States shall come into the Union on.terms
of perfect equality with tho Old. It is not de
nied that the -Territories are the property of
the States ih-common, Congress being simply
the trustee Of the States for this property.—
It is, therefore, perforce of this perfect equal
ity and tho principles of equity and justice,
that those, common owners have an equal
right to tho occupancy and enjoyment'of this
common domain, so long ns the territorial ex
istence remaihs—so long as tho territoral gov
ernment exists. Tam among those who had
supposed that tho common law of England
and tho common law of this country, togeth
er with the fugitive slave law, would afford
all .the: protection which the owners of slaves
would require in any territory, and no legis
lation would bo necessary. Wo all-know that
there is- a deferred question under the Kan
sas-Ncbraska bill, touching the measure of
■ authority which the people of a Tcrritoiy may
exercise over tho subject of slavery. It was
understood on all hands that that was a ques
tion for tho judiciary, whenever the exigency
arose, and not for Congress; and I say to tho
Senator from Georgia now, that whenever it
shall bo alleged that ii Territorial Legislature
has transcended its legitimate authority’, to
the detriment of private rights, that is a ques
tion for tlic judiciary ; and when' the j udicia
ry gives its, judgment in such a ease, I say
the whole power of' the-Federal Government
must bo .employed to carry out the law thus
■ defined. I simply maintain the broad doc
trine of allowing the people in.a Territory to
exorcise all the authority over the question of
slavery which they may’ exercise under tho.
Constitution and laws, and when a dispute
arises as' to whether they have transcended
that authority, that is not a question for Con-*
gross, but for the- courts., That is tho Demo
cratic doctrine, as I understand it; and for
holding that, I do. not agree that Tam an Ab
olitionist, br. that those whom I represent arc
Abolitionists. .No, sir; we are the, enemies
ofiabolitionism. W.o do riot seek to disturb,
in any" way’ or form, , by 'word or; deed, the
rights of our southern friends.
. Sir, I may say to the Senator from Georgia
that,.'frontthe hour I‘first came into political
■life to the present day, I have. never gone
through a political campaign in which tho
rights of tho South wore not an important, if
not tho loading, issue. We have boon assail
ed constantly’ in the North by tho Republi
cans ; they are; now assailing the Democratic
party’ every day,,on the ground that they arc
subservient to the .South—that they are pro
slavery men—that they seek to extend the in
stitution ,of slavery’. We .explain that-wo
simply seek, to maintiiiri the constitutional'
right's of the-southern States—that our,object,
is to put'down' this spirit of crimination and
recrimination, "which must ultimately lead to
alienation a separation between a people who
should be friends and brethren. That is our
object, i In defence of southern rights in
maintaining the fugitive slave law, and every,
other vital principle that c'tinqerus the South,
I have little doubt that I. have spent an,hour
of my time for every minute that he has
spent; and I do not intend to sit hero’and
hear imputations so- unjust and untrue as ho
has uttered, without .repelling them in the
most emphatic terms. Sir, tho northern De
mocracy have stood like .a bulwark between
the South and a powerful organized parkf that
' manifestly has no sympathy with y.-ui. Break
us llown.at your peril;. It is for their advance
ment if you do. We ask nothing unreasona
ble, nothing unjust, and .no sacrifice of your
cherished rights. . ' , ,
Now, sir,, if I r . have, shown fooling on this
subject, I ask'pardon of-the Senate., All the
emotions I have felt .proceeded from the.con
scious belief that he' had. committed a great
wrong upon tho noble men whom I represent
on this lloor. It is true that'wo are not a
majority in all tho northern States, or many
of them. The Senator- took occasion to pass
upon this fact. That is no reason why he
should love us less. . That is no reason why
,wo are loss entitled tb your gratitude and
your countenance for what we have done. 2—
Lot me tell tho honorable Senator that his
power, your views,-and your position boro
have Homo influence on our power in the
■North, just now—especially when the people
aro moving and speaking out in mass meet
ings., After all, they are perceiving that the
perpetuity of tho Constitution and of the
. Union, and the rights of the States, the- fra
ternity’ of fooling, and the'growth of this na
tion, aro to be carried out through Democra
tic doctrines,.and in no other way. The mass
qf the people are beginning to recognize that
fact ; and when the time-comes, in such an
issue, my.friend from Georgia will seo that
tlrmDeiuaoracy. will be _once quoro-iu .-power in
the” North, and peace will bo given to tho
country. ■ ;. ■ ' ;

Indian Captive Reclaimed after Tliirty-fivi
Years Absence—lncidents df -Ills Life.
Tho following-narrative of the return .mid
recognition of Matthew.Brayton, the long lost
son of Elijah Brayton, of this county, who
was stolon hy tho Indians thirty-four years
ago, will bo road with,interest. It was kind
ly furnished by Mr. J. W. Chamberlin, of
Carry, and can bo relied -upon ns true: ,
Oh the' 20th of SoptoifiboiviB2s, two chil
dren of Elijah Brayton, then residin'; near
Springvillo.'iu this county; were sent alter the
cows. ' After-going a short .distance from
homo, the younger one, Matthew, a lad be
tween seven and eight years of . ago, became
fatigued and started for a'neighboring house,
close .by, .while the other continued , the search
for the .cows. Since that time nothing has
boon heard of the bhildj until. lately. The
country was thoroughly searohed by all tho
whites and friendly Indians that resided'near
this settlement, and continued several weeks,
but without effect. At tlio time hq was'tost,
there-were two scars on’his person, one on, his
head, caused, by a boil, and one on the .big; toe
of his right foot, causoi by a cut .wdthjAn axe.
During the later part of last'AugU^t;:it., ! iva|
ascertained, through tho medium _ of the pa
pers, that a returned Indian captive was in.
Cleveland, searching for his relatives. Search
was made for his person, but ho was not found
until Tuesday evening, November 15th, when
ho was discovered at a farmer’s house; near
Sugar Grove, Warren county, Pa., by William
Dayton, who started with him immediately
for Adrian, whore lie arrived Thursday noon.
Tho nows flow like wild fire through tho
neighborhood, ■'and the people have been vis
iting him constantly since' his arrival, ques
tioning and cross-pucstioning him until no is
almost, exhausted. The sears, corresponding
to those on Matthew Brayton When lost, wore
found on his person: He is a man about five
feet seven and a quarter inches in height, and
of light complexion. lie has some tattoo
marks on his chest, also some sears on his
right log, caused by wounds received in an
Indian battle some throe years ago. Tho In
dians, in -performing the necessary surgical
operation, strapped him to a log; and sowed
up tho wound (some eight inches in length)
with a buckskin thong, making, but three
stitches. The scars made by tho needle and
thong are nearly as largo as that made hy the
cut Of tho tomahawk. Ho. has with him ms
Indian dog, Nomi, and a largo .pipe made of
flinty which weighs mine ounces. Ho Bays it
took him ono moon to drill a hole through his
pipe, which ho did with a piece of stool, some
boar’s oil nnd water. Ho’ was stolen by the.
Pottawatomie and Canadian Indians, and was.
shifted from ono of those tribes to another;
until he was sold by them to the Pawpaw In
dians,. who gave five and a-lialf gallons of
whisky for him, ,and they sold him—to tho-
Winncbagocs for seven and a half gallons.
They wore living in-.Miehigan at the time.
Tho Chippowas bought liim from the Winne
bagoos, and they kept him two months and a
half, and then sola him to tho ’ Sioux, for
cloven gallons of : tho “fire-water.” This ho
does not recollect himself, but it was told him
by the - Various tribes, ns ho traced himself
back to Ohio.
Ho remembers back to. the time ho was
owned by the Sioux, which ho says was twon
ty-six years ago.
To use his language, “I was then a head
shorter than lam now.” Ho was purchased
by tho Sioux twenty-six years ago.last April,
at Cedar .Rapids, lowa,, by the Snakes and
Copperheads, with whom ho has resided over
since. He lived in lowa two . years,. thoii
moved to. Minnesota, where ho staid- six
■montlls; thence to California, whore be resi
ded five and n half years; thence to Oregon,
.whore ho staid two years; thence to the
Russian Possessions, .whom he has resided
over since, except when travelling to and from,
their trading points., lie lived near Bering’s
Straits, two*hundred miles northwest of “Big
Esquimax” village, GO, degrees north latitude..
Ho has crossed the Straits several times in.
the winter season. On the ice.
He was crossing one a few winters ago, on
the hack of a largo elk, going, at a pretty
sharp pace, when the elk-stepped into-an nir
hole, throwing him dyer his head in tho wa
ter. At the tune this took place, the lament
ed Dr. Kane, with his expedition, was'in that
section. After getting out of the water, he
;met one of his erew, a man by the name Of
Thomas Hickey. Slncp his return to the
States, oU his arrival at Cleveland, when he
got off the train, ho saw Hickey, who recog
nized him instantly,- calling him by his Indi
an name. ....
Ho was in St. Paul when it only contained
1 seven houses. About eight years ago his
tribe being nearly famished by hunger, went
to Hudson Bay in search of, provisions, whore
ho first learned that he was-a pale face. The
whites being unable to purcliaae him, (the
Indians, refusing to'part with him) threatened
to take him by force, but the great dosparity
of their numbers preventing, them from put
ting their threat m force.. They would not
visit any white settlemenffor three J r ears af
ter that, for fear ho would] leave them Or bo
taken away by the whites.; They then visited
Lord Selkirk’s settlement on Red river, where
they got into a skirmish with the whites.
The whites told him there that he was a white
man. He had been at St, Paul seven or eight
times on trading expeditions; also at Lord
Selkirk’s'settlement,-Hudson’s Bay and St.
Anthony’s Falls. The whiles repeatedly told
his tribe that if they did not, lot him go to the
States to search for his relations, they would
take him from them by force. Ho left his
residence September,' 1858 ;j;loft St. Paul .on
The 10th of April, 1859, in company with his
Indian brother, (chief elect Jast Fail,), six In-,
dians, three ponies and five dogs. They came
with .him to Chicago, where he was taken
sick arid placed in the hospital for teoatmont,
and kept there till he recovered. Ills Indian
friends there loft him and returned to their
tribe, v ... <
Tie went from there to -Detroit, Michigan;
thence, to Ohio; thofiee to Northern Pennsyl
vania, where ho was found by William Bray
ton, He was then on his way to some-Indi
ans in Now York; Tie can speak 'five differ
ent- Indiaif languages, viz Snake,. Copper
head, Crow, Utah, and Flathead. lie also
speaks the English language., very fluently
and correctly, which ho says came to him al
most instinctively on meeting with the whites.
The tribe with which ho lived had a compass
watch enclosed in one copper ; easo, which
.they (used in travelling. They purchased it
of tlie Russians fpr Alio hundfod--']lol!ars. , r ’
Ho says the Snakes; CopphfßpMds, Crows,
Utahs and Flatlicads , together number 100,-.
500 souls—men, svoiuau aud children inclu
ded. .' ' .
He . married the daughter of the Grand
Chief seven years ago. Ho has two children,
son, and daughter. His daughter's name is
Tefrona, (Tamo Deer,) and is fiyo years old.
His son's name is Tullooaa f .two years old last
Juno. His own name is Owahbwah Kishme
wah. When he' arrived at Chicago ho was
dressed in Indian costume, daubed and paint
ed, his hair hanging .down'to his knees..
While in the hospital they cut off his hair,
and scrubbed him with sand, soap and water,
until all vestige of the paint,was removed,
lie ate meat raw, hut will not. oat food con
taining salt.
*A GAME DINNER.
Shortly after the war with Great Britain,
an aristocratic English'gentleman built.a fine,
residence in the vicinity of Fort George, on
the Niagara, frontier, and, in accordance with
tho old country idea of exclusiveness, he en
closed his grounds with’a high, tight,'-fence.
Here he lived like an old English gentleman'
one of the olden time—with, tho exception
that none but tho.chYc of the province and the;
officers of tlie-neighboring garrison wero al
lowed to-pass his gatp. Thorp WffP- .a very
good understanding between tho ( Anicricaiv
officers, at Fort 'Niagara and the British at
Fort; George, and tho men wore permitted oc-;
casionally to visit back, and forth. Among
tho American soldiers was a queer chap, who,
.stuttered terribly, was very fond of huntiiig,
and who was always getting into some sort of,
mischief. ' “
1 One-day .this chap took the small boat that
i lay moored, at the foot of tho walls, of the fort,
; and crossed over'to the, Canadian shore; for a
hunt. Ho wandered over several miles in the
rear of Fort George, but without meeting any
game, and, on. his rctqni, seeh>g a! crow on a
tree within tho enclosure of the aristocratic
Englishman,-he scaled the high fence, fired,
and brought down his game.' Colonel, or
whatever hip title may. have been, (we will
call Ijim. Colonel, anyhow,) witnessed, the
transaction, and advanced while our soldier J
vine, reloading. lie was very angry; but see
ing tho Yankee standing very coolly with a
loaded gun in his hand, ho. gfclpcd down his
passion for a moment, and merely asked him
if ho killed: the crow. The -Yankee replied
that ho did. “I am very sorry," said the
Colonel, “for ho was a pet. By tho five, that
is a very* gun —will you be so. kind as
to let mb* look at it ?" Tlio soldier complied
, with tho'rcqilest. . The Englishman took tho
■■gun, stepped back a few' paces, took deliber
ate aim, then, broke forth nl a tirade of abuse,
concluding with an. order-to .stoop- down and
take a bite of tho crow, pr.he would blow his
brains out..; The soldier explained, .apologis
ed 5 , and entreated. It was of nouscb;
There was shoot in the Englishman s eye
—thero was no help for it—-and the stuttering,
soldier stooped and took a bite of the crow,
Jjufc swallow it lie could ,not~ Uj) camp his
breakfast—-his dinner tho day before, and it :
really appeared,asrif rhQ would .throw up his i
toe-nails. 7 The’ Englishman gloated on the ;
misery of Jll9 vlctjm, and smiled complacently i
at every additional heave. When ho had got
through yomitingr and had wiped ; his eyes,
tho Colonbl handed him 1 his gun, with tho rc-
mark:.
“Now,' you rascal, that ■will toaoh how
to poach on a gentleman's onolopufo/'
! The Yankee took his £un, and the
Colonel might have scon thp devil in his eve
if ho hpct looked /dose. 'Stopping hack, ho
took aim at the heart of his host, and ordered
him instantly to finish the crow; Angry ex
postulations, prayers, and entreaties were use
less things, . There was shoot in the Amori
can cyo,tWi, as thorp had been in the Imghah
eye before. There was no help at hand, and
he took a bite of the craw. Oao bite was
enough to send all tho good dinners ho had
eaten lately on tho same journey with tho
garrison faro of the soldier, and while the
Englishman was ih tho agony of sickness,
Jonathan escaped to the American shore.
Tho next morning, early, the commandent
of Fort Niagara was sitting in his quarters,
when Colonel was announced.
—“Sir r ”said -Colonel , “I come to-de
mand the punishment of ono of your mtm,
who yesterday entered my premises and com
mitted a' great outrage.” . •
“Wo-have three hundred-men hero, and it
would he diffißUltfor me to know who it is you
mean,” said the officer,.
Tho Englishman.described' bhtv ns a long,
dangling, stuttering, stOop-shohlderedydevil; -
“Ah! I know whom,you moan!; he is al
ways getting into mischief. Orderly, call
Tom.” ' ,
In a few moments,,Toni-entered, nnd stood
as straight as his natural build would allow,
while not a traeii of emotion was visible on his
countenance:
“Tom,”'said the officer,
gentleman ?"
“Ye-ye-ye-es, sir.”
“Whore did you see him before ?”
“l-I-I-I,” said Tom, stuttering awfully, h
retaining the grave expression natural to his
faeo: “I di-di-di-dined with him yesterday.”
We believe Tom was not puuislied.
Departure of Gen'. Pieiice.— Ex-President
Pierce and Mrs.. Pierce-have arrived at Hart
ford, Conn., where they will spend a few days
as the guests of ex-Gov. Seymour, and then
leave for Now York, with the view of embark

of Now Providence, one of the group of the
Bahama Islands. The island has bocn rccom

Boston, as promising, by its climate and other
surroundings, beneficial results to the health
of JLrs. Pierce, which it is found cannot bear
the severity of the winter in New England.

machinery, make sure they secure the best,, by ex
amining ours before, purchasing. .
A few of many reasons why the Sewing Machines'
of Ludd, ’Webster & Co., are preferred above all
others,.
• • 1. aro so remarkably simple in .their con
struction. . A child can operate them and under
stand the mechanism. , .
2. They arc the strongest Sewing Machines made-.
It is impossible to, break or get them out of order;
. 3. They are sure, in their operation j finishing the
work in a uniformly perfect manner,,
,4. They make a tight lock stitch, alike on both
sides of-the work, which cannot bo unraveled.
5. They stitch, hein, bind, fell, run and gather,
without basting, r .
0. They sow equally well the lightest and the
hojivlcst.fiibrics.
■7. They , sew over, the 'heaviest seams without
changing the tension or breaking the finest thread.
; 8. They use any No. of - Cotton, Thread or Silk
directly from the spool.
0. They use . a straight needle j .curved ones are
liable to break. .
Ift. The needle has n perpendicular motion. This
is absolutely necessary for heavy work.
11.- They have a wheel feedi none others arc in
constant contact with the work.
12., They run easily and are almost noiseless, . )
13. They are not liable to oil the dress, of the
operator.
14. They do not require a scrpw-drlvor to act the
noeVllo. * • • -

10. They do-not forfh ridges ou the under side of

"17. They ore capable nf doing u greater range of
work, and in a more perfect-manner thah onybther
