' the n• TIE tEDLI A cold winter's night found ri stage load of us gathered about the warm fire of the tavern bar-room ;of a New England Shortly after we : arrived, a pedlar drove up and ordered hic horse stabli for the night. After we, had eaten supper we'repaired to the bar-room, and as sooty as the ice was broken the convosation- flowed fieely. Several an ecdotes bad been related, and finally the ped lar was asked to 'gie a story, as many of his profession were , generally full of adven tures and anecdotes. He was a short, thick set man, somewhere about .forty years of age, and gave evidence of great physical strength. He gave his natne as Lemuel Viney, and his home was in DOver, New Hampshire. " Well, gentlemen," he commenced,koock, ing the ashes out'of his pipe,and putting it in his pocket, "suppose I tell you about the last thing of anyconfequence that happened to me. You see I am now right from the West, anil on my way to winter quarters. It was about two, months ago, one pleasant evening, that I pulled up at the door of a small village tavern in Hancock county, In diana. I said it was pleasant—l meant it was warm, but cloudy and very likely to be dark. I went irl and called for supper, and bad my horse taken natal:if, and after I had eaten, sat down In the bar-room. It begn to rain about eight o'clock, and for a wink e it poured,down gOod, and it was awful dark out doors. ' -I "Now, I wanted to be in Jackson early the next morning, for I expected a load of goods there forme, which I intended to dispose of on my way.liome. ' The moon would rise about thidnight, and I knew if it did not rain, I could get. along very comfortably through the mud after that. So I asked the landlord if be could not See that my horse was fed aliont'utidnight,'as I wished tii!be off before two. Ile expressed some surprise at. this,and asked me why I did not stop for breakfast. I . told biro that I had sold my 'last load about out, and that a new load of goods was wait ing for me at Jabkson, and I wanted to be thee befwe the express agent left there in the morning. There was A number of . persons sitting around While I told this, but I took but very little notice of them, one only ar-. rested my attentlOn. I had in my possession a thrall packageof..placand.s, which' I wan to 'deliver to lie Sheriff of. Jackson; and they .were notices for:the detection of a notorious robber named Dick Ilardhead. The bills gave* description of his person, and the man before the answered very tv4l to it. In fact it. was . perfect. Ile was a tall, well-formed man, rather slight in frame, and • bad the ap pearance of a gdptleman, save that his face bore those hard,!cruel marks which an ob serving wan canuot mistake for anything but the index of a villainons disposition. When I went to my chamber, I asked the landlord who that man was, describing the auspicious indiri4ual. iletiaid that he did not know bim. Relearns there_ that "afternoon and intended to! lesle the next day. The PRIZE, host asked‘why I wished to know, and I simply told him that the man's countenance was familiar, atd I merely wished , to.know if I was ever acquainted with him. I resolved not to let the landlord into the secret, but to hurry on toJackson, and there give information to the Sheriff, and perhaps he might reach the inn before the villain left; for I had no doubt as to his identity. • I had an alarm watch, and having at it to give the alarm at one o'clock, I went to sleep. I was aroused at the , proper time,and immediately got up and dressed myself. = When I reached the yard, I found the clouds all passed away, and the moon was shining brightly. The ostlermrst easily aroused, and by two o'clock I was on the road. The-mud that the sound 1 heard was very close to we. As the hind wheels came up I felt something beside the jerk of the wheels. I beard sowe r thing tumble from one side to the other of my wagon, and I could also feel - the jar occa sioned by the movement. It was simpy a man in my•cart. I knew this on the instant. Of course I felt puzzled.. At first I imagined some poor fellow bad taken this method to obtain a ride; but I soon gave this np, for I knew that any decent man would have asked me fora ride. My next idea was that'some hody hsd got in to sleep; but this passed away quickly as it came, fur no man would have broken into my cart for that purpose. *plat thought, gentlemen, quickly opened sz py eyes'. :Whoever was in there bad broken - "Mir fiext thoughts - were .af Dick Hard-' hea l - l.' He had hetird me say that_. my load kat' 'out ; *Cid. of course he supposed I had some money with me, for I had over $2,000. I also thought he tneant to leave the cart when he supposed I had reached a place of safety, and then either creep over and shoot me or knock me down. All this passed like lightning through my mind by the time I had got a rod from the hole. "Isiow I never make it a point to brag of! myself, but I have seen a great deal of the under difficulty. In a very few minutes my resolution was formed.. My horse was knee deep in the mud, and I knew that I could slip off without noise. So I drew my revel-. ver—l never travel in that country without one--I drew this, and haying twined the lines about my whip stock, :'carefully slipped down in the mud, and and as the clot passed on I went behind it and examined the hasp. "The door of the cart lets down, and is fastened by a hasp, which . slips over the sta ple, and is then secured by a padlock. , . The padlock wa4 gone, and the hasp was secured in its place by a bit of pine—so that a slight effurt from within could break it. My wheel wrench hung in a leather bucket on the side of the cart, and I quickly took it out and slipped it into the staple, theiron handle just slipping down. "Now I had ;him. , My . cart was almost new, made in a stout frame of whitesoak,and made on purpose for hard usage. Idid not believe any ordinary' man could break out. I got on to my cart as noiselessly as I got oil, and then urged my horse on, still keeping, my pistol handy. I knew that at a distance of half a mile further I should Come to a good hard road, and so rallowed my horse to pick his own way through the mud. About ten 1 minutes after this heard a motion in the cart, followed bra rinding noise as though some heavy force,were being appliids to the door. I said nothing, but the idea struck me that the villain might judge wherel sat and shoot up through the top of the cart at me, so I sat down on the foot-hoard. " Of course I knew now: that my unexpect ed passenger was a villain, for be must have been awiike ever sines I started, and nothing in the world but absolute villainy wpithi*e caused him to remain luietfio long,jkai* up in that particular place.

' • - ' - We were not an hour in going a dozen miles-snot a bit of it. I,Ladn't much fear— _ perhaps I might tell the truth and say , I had none, for I bad a good pistol ; and more than that, my passenger was glad -when- I came to , the old flour factory, that stands at the edge of Jackson village;„ and in tenininid - e's more - ,..1 hauled up in front of the tavern, sad found a couple of ostlers in the barn cleaning down some stage horses. "Well, old fellow," says I, as I got down and went around to the back of 1144 in; "you have had a good ride, havn't ye r "-Who are you I" he cried, and he kind of swore a little, too, as he asked the ques- " I'm the man you tried to shoot," .ifas “.

He told the chap inside who he was, - aria if be'made the least resistance - he'd be a dead man. Then I slipped th . e iron wrench out, and as I let the deor down the fellow made a spring, I caught him by the ankle and he came down on , his face, , and in a - moment more the • officers bad him. - It was now_flaylight, and the moment I saw the chap I recognized him_'lie was marched off to the kick upand I told the sheriff I should-remain in town all day. "After I breakfasted the sheriff came down to the tavern and told ins that I had caught the very bird, and that if I'would remain up til the next morning, I should certainly have the reward of two- huedred dollars,which been offered. • . "I found my goods all safe, paid the ex press agent for bringing them from Indianap olis, and then went to work to stow them away in my cart. The bullet holes were found in the top of, ruy vehicle just as I ex pected.

I afterwards found a letter the office at Portsmouth I . i~r me, from the „Sheriff of Hancock county,' - nd he informed the this Dick Hardhead had been imprisoned for life.' So euded the pedlar's story..
