ZEKE SMITH, rfstE INDIAN SLAYER;
Or, Life Among the Early Settlers.
, of Penney' Vail •
X. D., 17. D., 1111.10,
Cu.4len V
The Indians, with their prisoner,
Ht. the river at, Meahoppen, and
marched through the dense wilder
ness, and never stopped once to rest
till they reached what is now known
as Susquehanna county, not many
miles south-west of where now stands
the plEasaut little village of Mont
rose.
It was in the "wes small hours" of
the.night; when they, came to a halt.
Very weary end
.hungry were they
all; poor Ztle suffering excratiating
pain in the ankles from the effects of
he thongs whiph bound him while
in the c-pnoe.. His wrists wined
too, but he did not mind his suffer
ings, as : he was living. in too high
hopes of a final release from his cue ,
mitts to let trivial matters trouble his
well balanced brain.
The Indians built a large fire, and
cooked some venison which they - had
'killed id the after part of the day,
and after., gorging themselves, they
gave a piece half cooked and well
smoked, to 74 , -.ke, who lacked not-an
ercallent appetite, the red devils al
lowing him to have the iPe of his
hands long enough io eat his morsel.
Ho wits. then r. bound stronger than
ever, for they saw in hi!, eyes a con
suming hatred which caused them to,
fear him ; though. they ontenrebered
b , m four to one, unarmed, as he was.
They -tied his hands behind him
and his feet together, and then stood
his back to a tree and WiChed base
body securely to it, end left him in
great misers, while they laid them
selves down to slumber till day
should dawn again.
At the first appearance of morning
light, breakfast was prepared and
eaten, as was their supper, and the
march resumed. The party struck
the Wyalusing creek $ little way be
low Rushville (as now laicism), and
then followed the stream 'to a place
now called Camptown, in Bradford
county; seven miles from W3-alusing,
now a thriving little town at the
mouth of this stream. Wye!using is
an Indian.name, and sjgnifiea " the
pleasant hunting grounds." Here
they made long halt, and then
marched on iu the night time, and
berme daylight conducted their pris
oner in triumph into the Indian vil
lage, located on the flats where now
stands the Moravian Monument,
some -tiro miles down the Stuque
hanna from the mouth of the Wyalu
sing creek.
The inhabitants of this village had
been made acquainted of the captnre
of the celebrated bunter, by the two
red men svho had been selected for
this purpose, and the 'dusky dogs,
both young and old, -were on tiptoe
'when Zeke and his four' sne:essful
conductors arrived.
The prisoner. was placed in a se
cure wigwam for safe keeping, and a
strong guard detailed for the pur
pose of preventing the, brave trap
per's escape. ,
* * *
The preparations of the pioneers,
who designed to- recapture their
much-prized friend, were completed;
atid well equipped
.t.lley Started on
their perilous journey np the Susque
hanna. The time consumed in get-
ting the company organized, and
setting arms and ammnnition and a
sufficient amount of food together.
was surprisingly short. There were
twenty men in all, though several of
them were hardly merged into man.;
hood.
Nevertheless. boys as they were,
they really were men in proportions
and capabilities for endurance, twq
of them being sons of the much es
teemed Mr. Hill.
A deba a arose among Mr. Hill's
neighbors as to-the propriety of let
titig both his sons leave home, when
he was confined to Me house in a
belplesi condition,' but the matter
was decided by the loyal and brave
family, declaring that they were se
care from the attacks of the Indians
as long act they kept the gates well
barred; "and women were capable,"
Mies Henrietta Hill remarked,' "of
accomplishing more than ilea were
generally, willing to allow." _
The father - of this biiive daughter
of Wyoming also remarked, "that he
felt well pleased that,he was able to
fnrniKh two sons to go oii an expedi
tion which he tr,psted would. remit

The company was" composed of
such men as only are found In a new
conntry—berdi, manly, brave, , L-and
the only really eccentric ones were
the servant Bill and an Irishman
.by
thuneme of Mulligan;. also Ger
man whom we shall introdace here
after.
S" , ireething of Bill's character is al.
ready known to she reader, land' we
will only add that he. is quite indis
pensable to the pursuing party, as
the sequel will show.
Their plan was to march directly
np the river; fifteen. men to follow
the Indian path, and five to go by
water canoes, carrying the provisions,
extra, ammunition, etc. .!.
Arrangements were giadel for the
river party to meet those on land at
several , convenient points on .tho
march, and time keep each company'
cognizant of, the other's moiemints.
Some fear was entertained by the
men that were to go on foot, that the
Indians might send forces along the
Susquehanna, and in the mountain
passes, to intercept their progress;
and their fears were not 'without
foundation, as the reader abed see.
The little heroic band Ind their
friends adien.in excellent spirits, and'
took their departure jest; thirty
hours after Uncle Zeke's' eapture.
the time being a little atter midnight,
of the night following the attack on
Mr. Harris' residence.
Nothing worthy of note transpired
till the pursuers reacced the valley . ,
or theta, near where now stands the
village of Tunkhannuck. The .Indian
village on this flat was not extensive,
and Very few warriors could tie was
tered, not to exceed thirty-five or
maybe forty. Most of them were
gone to Wyalusing, to join the tribe
iu that ;lice, in contemplation of
enjoying the destruction, at the
stake, of one of the most E hated
whites then known to the red man.
The laud party, as well as the men
in canoes, were aware of their near
proximity to the Indian settlement,
and were prepared for any ordinary
emergency.
The men on foot arrived above an
hour before the boats came in sight,
and waited the while in secure am
bush.
Two - runners, Bill awl Mulligan ;
ari. , reaent to itiieertain when -the c -
noes came iu sight, and raped the
Bathe to the party in coueealmOnt.
Mr. Harris, who was acting as
captain of the company, ordereilrhe
scouts to mcva With great caution,
lest they s,bould be Surprised aid
shot before they had accomplished
their mission. They were also or-
dered toWarn the men b , y slimel if
there was any danger at handl fear
ing that the cunning red-skins night
he concealed along the Sasquelninna,
at tbis point, and euddeuiy pounce
upon the Email party and overpOwer
them before assistance could be ren
d,:red by those iu ambush.
The scouts 'reached the Iniat in
safety, but as Pat :remarked :to the
captain . afterwards, "it was, by the
t . lin of their teeth ; four red !devils
having chased them fur more than a
hal! mile, and they niver t-hould hey
been able to Mate their friends agiu
but fer :sound fate preserviut ;them,
and a right good will to rise! thim
- under etch a tryin'ordalo, sure."
. There were twelve warriors left to
guard the Tankhannock village, and,
the four that chased Pat lqulligau
and Bill were intercepted by the par
ty in concealment, who disctvered
tbein Bonn after they gave up the
pursuit, which was when eboy came
within ginishof of the-men in the ca
noes, killing two and inOrtally
wounding the. others at - their first
fire.
We should have, mentioned that•
the party in ambush ventured! forth
from their concealment, and marched
coolly towards the river, agaiia tak
ing cover in a clump of willowi near
the bank of the stream where the
svatenhen would be likely to laud;
thus it was they were- able to have
sneh a•fair view and short range of
;the Sear Indians who fell byi their
'unerring fire.
Only eight warriors were now left
to give battle, and no doubt! they
were now made acquainted with the
strength of the whites, and Would
not dare make an open attack. I
It was long after midday, and the
pioneers were tired and hungry. A
camp fire was kindled, and a hearty
meal prepared of fisb, venison, and
coarse corn brad. All ate heiirtily,
and took an' hones rest, nnmores ed,
when the captain gave marching 'or
dere, and, soon they were marching
on towards Wyalnsing. If not hin
dered, they .expected to reach the
month of Meshoppen creek before
another halt should be made.; The
reader b , .ing acquainted with the
route over which this bravo and
hardy band were marching, must
give them much credit for indomita
ble perseverance, as well as ;great
powers of endurance, to travel so
many miles inside of twenty four
hours.
N 9 farther trouble was met with
pouf the enemy during the day, save
a line skirmishing while passing by
the Indian village. Crossing the heel
of the horseshoe,. the land company
following the river, and assisting the
boatmen in •earrying their canoes,
the place for a halt was reached be.

Mrs. Gorham put down a letter
she bad. been reading, and.-looking
around Abe table , at her blooming
daughtern and two, tall, _handsome
sons, she said in a doleful tone—
" Your Aunt. Sabina ia comingF to
London, and has invited herself - here
without ceremony."
" When?" , ask td Arabella, with an
intonation of intense disgust.
"She will reach bore this after
noon. William, you will have to meet
her." 1. •
"Sorry, ma, but I promised to
drive. Miss. Caldwell to the park.
Fred can go."
."-Certainly, I will go," -Fred said ,
gravely, though there was a tot flush
on his forehead.. "I am very fond of
Aunt."
" Nonsense," said his mother, "yon
have not seen her for fourteen years.
I never went near the detestable old'
farm after your father died." -
" Nevertheless; I have a vivid reo
ollection of Aunt Sibina's kindness
when we were there." ' .
" Dear me, Fred," drawled Lucille,
"don't be sentimental. I wish the
old thing would stay at home. I can't
imagine what'she is coming hero for."
"She is our father's sister," , sAid
Fred, "and I 'catinot,find anything
surprising in her looking for a wet

Mrs. Gorham shrogaed her shool
ders. If she had spoken her thoughts
it would him been: "Fred is so odd!
Just like his father." But she only
said : "I may depend upon you,
ttr-n, to meet your an t, Fred? I
will see aboUt her room."

When he became a man, and , knew,
that his father's estate, though sufli
cieut to give them, every cotutort,,
was not large enough for the extrav
agance his mother ir.dnlged in, he•
fitted himself for business, ittni took
a. position in a counting house; thus
becoming self supporter, though his
mother declared no Greer had elver
been in trade. That the money she
lived on was .made in soap-boiling,
the fashionable huffy ignored entirely.
Darling Wilbur had studied law, bat,
his first client had not yet appeitted.
and Mrs. Gorham suppor'ed him,
trusting his fascinations would touch
the heart of some moneyed belle.
Miss Caldwell-was the present hope.,
She was her own mistress, an orphan
heiress, and very handsome. That
she was proud and rather cold, in
tnanner,was only an additional charm
to Mrs. Gorham, and Lucille, Ara
belle, and Corinne, were enthusiastic
in their admiration of "Cornelia
Caldwell's queenly manner." -
Nobody -suspected that Fred,
Want, straightforward Fred, hid one
secret in his heart, confessed to no
living being ; and that secret wait a
love, pure and trne, for Cornelia
Caldwell—a love that would shut it
self closely away from: any suspicion
of fortune-hunting, that only drooped
and mourned thinking of the heiress.
At four o'clock Pled was at the

ra,ibioned figure she was in her gamut
black silk bonnet and 'large-figured
shawl. Bat Fred knew her kindly
old face at once, though he, had not
seen it since be was twelve , years old.
" Yon are Aunt?" he said, goitig
qn;ckly to meet her. _
She looked at the handsome face,
and eatight a quick, gasping breath.
" You mast be one of John's boys,"
she esid. "How like you are to your
fat her I"
"I am Fred," ho answered,
"I/ear heart ! How yoti've-grown !
Is-your ma here?"
" She is salting for you itt home."
The good old conutry woman had
never had the least doubt of a wariu
weleome at her brother's 'house, and
Fred certainly confirmed her expec
tat ons. He found the old black
leather trunk, the b4g, the baud box,
the great bulging cotton Umbrella,
and put them all in the
_carriage
without one smile of ridicule._ He
made his Aunt go to the restaurant
and refresh herself before starting
on the long drive home. He listened
with respec , fal interest to all the
mishaps of the long journey, and
kycupathized, with the—" Ruination

And he chatted pledsantly of hi 3

Sines the death of Dr.l IliteheOck,
no systematic efforts have been made
to follow
,up his translatlions of this
rock history, and the ikience has
made little Or no progrilss hith!:ito.
The rock in which these 'i - iipressions
.are found is a sandatoue, generally
of a fine character, -and known to the
-geotoeist its- the triassi formation.
The strata dip easterly,et :in angle
1
of 40 degrees, over an area about 100
miles long, and on an average of ten
miles wide. The tracks found in
this valley were most evidently made
by animals of very diffeileut 'cbarae
teristic--tbe bird, reptille, tortoise,
frog, insect, fi-th and worni—thodgh
the. opinion gains morel and mere
.ground tha nearly all :he animals
which matte them were of"a reptilli
an or batrachiim type. ?ernaps the
most notable fact Conrcted With
these impressions is tb t almost no
bones or other remains then the mere
footprints haye been faun ; with the
slight exception of ab., t a dozen
fragments of the least i portant of
tlie parts of the skeleton of en iigi
that leind in Springfield, ?iitiss.,ablit
20 years ago, nu trace save footprints
has as yet been, found of the triassic
inhabitants of the Valley. ..
But while the . public.hashea.rd lit
tle,
of late years about the fossil foot
prints, Mr: T. M. Stoughton, gf Gill,
a very knowing farmer, with i.Pritc
tical knowledge of how most success
fully to dig and expose the :reeks,
and a keen eye to discern l everything
new, has been making some explora
tions and diseoferies in the rocks at.
Turner's Falls, for ProfeesorMarsh,
of Yale College, which are ;of the
greatest value. He has l' been dig
ging now some years, and hiS collec
tton of the imprints nuMber several
thousand, valued at thousands, of dol
lars. Great numbers have *already
been shipped to New Haven, but as
the college museum there is not en
tirely ready to receive tbem, a dim
siderable number are still left with
Mr. Stoughton at his Gill titlEOe.-7 1
Among the more recent Of these, are
specimens proving conclusively the
existence of .a genus of I reptiles in'
that period,hit hate rinknewn. Tracks
of the five-toed • otozoon have been
coniparatively abundant heretoftire,
but Mr. Stoughton has knit taken out
remaik ably destine, well defined ini
pressions, showing the former exist
ence of a three-tried otozoon. The
tracks are from eight to Iten inches
long, several in number and in a
'straight line; showinglainly the
i
coarse of the animal; and possibly
indicating somewhat by 'the length
of the step, the size of the beast.
The quarry where this sla was taken
has now been closed b e t the. cold
weather, so that more sp imens can
not be obtained until spring. il

' Besides this discovery; known to
be of scientific velne,Mr.lStonghton
'bail made another in which he has
great faith, but which .laCks the cans
elusive proof within itself that . at

the "horse-race '! he has lately taken

portion of another madellry-!--some

thatthe track, Which is 3a inches by
2:6 . , or twice the size Of anylever found
before, is that of some' animal. - There
is the. mark ,of the heel and the two
sharp-pointed Was, appareliitly, in the
perfect track, and of the two toes in
the incomplete track, indicating the
path of some attire. ('Granting,
however, that the impression was
made by some animal forte; it is not
HO certain about its being the Not
print of any creature. '. The slab Was
taken. out( from under elite to high
bluff, and Mr. Stoughton [spent over
$lOO in cutting down the bluff to find
a succession of the treat:a, which, if
found, 'would have proved 1 at,once,
and conclusively, that theyiwere made
by some living animal. If so, :it must
have been one simply immense. Bat

has been .possible to-lay bare. What
next year's operations may reveal ii,
of, course, entirely uncertain; but its`

Mr. Stoughton has altiolakeii out
