In accordance ,wiijj a plan laid out for victimizing the Northumburlaudtrs they personated John C. tlcen-trl and four other well-known geutitmrn ot tue ring, creating an immense sensation in their assumed' characters'.'. Shortly after the registry of their false names at' the hotel, a committee of citizens, named Jos. Bird a 'wealthy retired coal operator, Samuel Kiikenbine.'a Ti'ch farmer and speculator and John McFailand, ' a coal dealer call ed upon the redoubtable Ileenan, and in behalf of the citizens, tendered him the hosritaliiles of the town. Mr. bird then invited tlie party to take a carriage drive with him on the following morning in liief new English drag, drawn by four spank ing bays, on a visit to Lis island farm, and to other scenes of interest in (he neighborhood. The invitation was grate- fullr accented, and after quaffing a half dozen bottles of champangne the commit tee' withdrew. "' During all tins time a big, strapping Susquehanna .river raftsman, considera bly boozy, was creating ' amusement for the crowd with liis boastful relation of the many fights he had taken a hand in, and in which ' he asserted had always come out ' victorious., ' They chaffed him considerably, and doubted his prowess, and told him if he was such a figWr, that now was his chance to immortalize himself, for Heenan was there and he might tackle him and show what sort of stuff he was made of. Ileenan presently came into the room, and, nothing loth, the sturdy raftsman advanced and greet ed Heenan thus : - ' '' ' ' ' ' y--Are you John Heenan, the Benishy Boy!",. ' , "That is my name, sir." : "Well I've heard a good deal about yon. - They say you're a .pretty good fighter. I'm not bad at that kiud of game myself. I generally , fall. ,on top when it came to the back holt, and I kin gouge and bite as well as any man on the river. I kin spar too: I' used to take lessons from Tom Simms, that drives a canal boat do1 to HarryGrass." ' 1 The crowd were latighing loudly at the raftsman, and enjoyed the ludicrous scene hugely. I ' Ileenan replied that he had given np fighting.' and advised the pugnacious raft man to do the same.' But the raftsman wanted to see the style of Ileenan 's position1- ;',""" ".','' ; 'Put. np your hands and let me seo how you fix yourself, when ;yoa aregoin to fight," At the fame time the raftsman doubled np his big bony fists, and awk watdly placed himself in a position-in front of Ileenan. At this the crowd near ly splits their sides with laughter and for the purpose of amusing them, and at the same time to teach the raftsman a lesson, Ileenan threw' himself into the ' Hoyal Pngiklic atlitnde, with his 'left mauley well advanceil, and standing lightly on his pint, danced around the bewildered raftsman once or twice, aud made a feint with his right hand, and with ' open left th laws.) duke carroined loudly on the raftsman's ear which sent him sprawling upon the floorT, ' V 11 ; The crowd nearly raised ( the roof oft with, the thundering- burst of laughter which 1 followed.'-- The raftsman soon gathered himself np, and good humoredly said, "I'm satisfied' you're . Heenan,'1 and yon can lick h It's blazea out of me.'' Let's all take a drink ; what do you say ? ' and the raftsman warmly shook the"Benishy Boy" by the hand. Heenan consented and so did his friends, who were pearly dead with convulsive laugh ter and so did the. crowd cousent to drink at the discomfitted -raftsman's expense. Heenan and his friends then retired to their rooms, after being voted by every body as devillish good fellows. The next morning they accompanied Mr. Bird in the promised drive, aud enjoyed the beau tiful seenery surrounding the romantical ly situated town.. After dinner they re quested the courteous Boniface ,to m ike out their bills, as ti e purposed leaving that afternoon' for Williami'port. To t!rt'ir surprise th-: landlord said "there's nothing ' to 1 pay, gentlemen : your bills are all settled. , U hen you are ready to leave toe boy will bring down your trunks.', . - .. 1 :; -. ;. : Ileenan and his friends made some de muring bl'ji'Ctions, but it was tib use, and thanking the landlord, aud, bidding good bye to everybody, they took their de parture on the northern bound train for the handsome city of illiamsport. ' -. . . 1 a.s aan hi . A EXCITLS CHASE. A Bate fur Forty Miles With Herse Thieves As Mr. Wm. Reed, who lives some six miles northeast ol Three Rivers, was re turning from church last Sunday evening lie was led into an adventure, the result of which was quite exciting. His home stands some distance from the highway, and is reached by a private road, the en trance of which is closed by a gate. On tbe south of this road is a piece of woods and as Mr.' It. turned in through the gate he saw a fresh sleigh track leading into the timber. Leaving bis team in charge of his boys, he followed tbe track to see what it meant, and soon came to a span of horses feeding from a sleigh. His fh-gt thought was of thieves, and he star ted for his own team, that he might call for help ftotn his neighbors.' Arriving at ihe spot where he had left them, he foiind only the two boys, when they said that two men had come from the woods, presented revolvers and ordered them out I - of the sleigh, and jumping in had turn ed into the highway and goue north. The feetli.ig team was at once hitched up, help called, and the party armed, and - pursuit began. A fresh snow had fallen and the track was easily kept. First three or four miles north; then eight or ten west; and then twelve or fifteen south, until the lale hours had given place to early ones, and the ludiaua State line was reached By their rout they were thirty . miles or more from home when the thieves were overtaken. A halt, was ordered, but the only answer was a shot. The shot was retained and on they went eight or ten miles, each party urging their horses to the utmost. Heed's party consisted of five, but before the chase was over three of them jumped out to get, if possible, a fresh team for the pursuit. T'he others steadily gaiued on the thieves, aud soon one of the latter jumped out and took to the woods. The other oue still urging on the horse's called out "'You have kil led my father, but if you will let me, I'll give' up the team'" ' The offer was re fused, and in a little time the young man also jumped out. The team dashed away without a driver, aud as the pursuing party then consisted of but two, a pur suit of the thieves was impossible. A mile or two ahead the runaway team was ovet taken, and in the sleigh was found the old man's overcoat, bail ly torn in the shoulders and back by the double charge of shot from Reed's musket, and gory with blood which had flown from the wound?; also clots 6f blood, evidently from the lungs.

She at first sight did not recogniz him," but when she became ' aware of his presence she remarked in a startled voice, ''Good God Fred, what do you come hera to nigh 1 for!" The couple then adjourned to the" sit ting room, and when they did so, one of them locked the door of the room inter vening between this room and tbe kitch They had been absent about twenty five minutes, when the Smothered report of a pistol was beard by the petsons in the kitchen.

The Perilous Adventure ef a Slater Is thus told by a Leavenworth paper : "In the mi 1st of a skating scene an exclam ation of horror transfixed every gazer. Amid the cracking and breaking of the ice one was observed struggling for a hold on the slippery edges of the ice, which broke off in large pieces. , His benumded fingers loosened their grasp, and the nnfortnate skater was carried by the murderous cur rent out of sight, under the cold and glassy ice. Being an expert swimmer, and possessed of great presence of mind, he struck out vigorously and swam after the manner of a diver. The fishes gazed at him with their green ees and nibbled his clothes as he swam through the frigid current, and be, too, imagined that grim death was gazing at him, bnt he strug gled manfully on He is almost exhaust ed, and be lets down and his feet strike the bottom. ., He bas reached a shoal. Press ing his baud vigorously against the yield ing ice, with his feet braced below, a cracking is heard, and he gazes along the surface of the ice. To come through lightly was but a moment's work, and biddiug his friends the fi-ibes good by, he is conveyed to a fire to dry and warm, having swam over twenty yards under the water." ; : Mr A.. S.
