A homely expression, and old as the hills,
Is this very ent term, "I can't !"
Bnt if you'd surmount life's troublesome
ills.
Leave this phrase to the poor mendicant ;
For, to him it belongs, as of right it should,
From bis youth he h is nursed it with rare;
Never saying "I will," or "I can," as be
could.
Never having the spirit to dare !
With Truth in your heart a will of your
own.
Making Sure that you're right in yonr aim,
There is lit lie on earth that yon Can't over
come. Even reaching the summit of fime.
Apart frop.i such hope, what bliss in the
thought
That you've tried fo be true to yourself ;
And the 'essons learned, though dearly
bought,
Are too good to be pureha'ed with pelf!
DESTRUCTION OF AN INDIAN TILLAGE.
A correspondent of Forney's Pre,
under date of tbe 12ih inst., writes as
follows of the destruction of an Indian
village, in the western country :
' About four o'clock iu the afternoon
Lieut. Hamilton, who had been sent out
with an advanced guard to scout the
country, discovered a small herd of buffalo
bulls, and, to his surprise, saw some men
buqting them. As it was snowing at the
time, he was able to approach quite close
unobserved, and seeing tbe huntefs were
Indians, charged them. They ran di
rectly north, and Lieut. Hamilton seat a
courier back to inform Straddle, who, as
soon as he heard what was upi despatch
ed Captain Ball with a company to tbe
support of Hamilton. It was a lively
race, the advance guard pressing the In
dians closely for four miles, when Lieut
Hamilton saw the village, aud at once
charged it with five men. He dashed
among the ledges, the women and chil
dren having barely time to leave them
and runt into the hills. The Indians
halted on the bluffs above the village and
showed fight, but before they could drive
the Lieutenant aud his men from their
town t-'apt. Ball came thundering up,
and the savages once more sought safety
in .flight. , The surprise was complete,
and so hasty had been the departure of
the Indians that not a blanket or mouth
ful of food could be taken from the lodges.
The camp fires were burning brightly,
and large quantities of buffalo meat cook
ing over them in camp kettles, which tbe
soldiers finished boiling, and eat heartily
for their supper. Old Straddle declares
these were the most accommodating In
dians that he had ever met on tbe plains,
and it was seldom they had the politeness
to prepare supper for his troops after a
hard day's inarch. The camp was full
of articles, and I noticed piles of arti
chokes and jerked buffalo, which the In
dians had gathered for their winter's sup
ply. In one lodge was a looking glass,
combs and brushes, and on a stool lay a
superb dress of antelope skin, nearly
finished. The waist was beautifully
small, and a dainty capa of mink fur,
and two little slippers, highly ornament
ed, lay beside it. There was an air of
neatness about the lodge and all tbe ap
pointments indicated that it was the
house of some Indian girl. Poor crea
ture, how rudely she had been thrust
forth on tbe bleak prairie that cold De
cember night, and eveu old Straddle, as
he looked at the gew gsws, said, with a
sigh, "I wish Miss Lo bad stopped long
enough to get her fixena and take some ,
bedding with her." : ' ,- " : ' f i
; Lies tenant Hamilton said as he dashed
into the village several little children ran
"I CANT."
out almost under his horse's feet, and he
could have captured one woman but he
gave her time to get her child on a pony
and make off. . One little girl as she ran
crying np the hill was picked up by a war
ror, who flung her to a woman on a pony
and the woman rode off on a gallop hold
ing 4he little creature by the leg, her
head almost dragging on the prairie.
There were many buffalo robes in the
camp, tin pans, buckets, bottles, and
buckwheat flour and baking powders.
Beads, bells, red doth, fine leather, and
colored feathers, were also abundant, and
in one lodge we found a keg of powder
and forty pounds of lead. . After loading
a six mulei wagon with tbe most useful
articles Straddle ordered the camp to be
burned. By its light we encamped on
the banks of the Whiteman, for it was
now long after dark, and the night bitter
cold. The soldiers kindled huge log
fires on the prairie, and details kept the
Sibley stores in the officers' tents red
hot all night. ' As the wind whistled and
roared without I could not help thinking
of the poor Indians wandering homeless
and shelterless on tbe prairie, and some
how the Indian girl was always upper
most in my mind.

We learn since that a phantom train
was seen in the vicinity of the Gap.
Some nigbu ago, David Wayne, en
gineer of 477, bad stopped for some pur
pose when a train was heard approach
ing at a rapid rate. Knowing there was
no train due at that hour, schedules were
examined carefully ; but tbe stranger
could not be made out. At length it
came thundering around the curve with
an immense head-light and other equip
ments. The conductor, H. Bell, engineer
fireman and brakeman all saw and heard
the train coming The flagman, John
K. Newell, immediately went back with
s light and placed signal caps upon the
rails. The phanton train came, making
the usual noise, and lighting up the
whole track with its huge lurid glare,
when iu a twinkling tbe whole thing dis
appeared. Some say that it was Old
Amos Cleinson's train, the notorious
leader of the Gap gang, who died sever
al years ago and that he was aboard
swinging a red light furiously.
John Filbert, engineer of tbe Lancas
ter train, informs ns that when approach
ing Pequa bridge, some nights ago, be
saw the devil on the cow-catcher of his
engine. He was running at tbe rate of
thirty miles an hour. He quickly shut
off the steam and slackened op, bat
could not see anything more of the
strange object. These stories are cre

LITELT BEAR FWHTs
Three Bears Attack a Farmer's Cattle
Vara ia Potter County.
Tbe WUIiamsport Gazette says : A
gentleman reached W illiams port on Fri
day eveuing last, front a ' logging camp"
in Potter county, where he has been for
fire weeks past, who relates the particu
lars of an exciting eucouuter with an old
bear and two cubs. It appears that a
man named Jonas FJ maker and his w ife,
had made a small clearing in Jackson
townthip. Tbey have a comfortable log
cabin, a small barn, several head of rat
tle and a few pigs. Abont nine o'clock
oqjhe evening of January 31st, Mr. EI
maker heard a great commotion among
his cattle and pigs at the barn. On rush
ing out to ascertain the cause of the
alarm, imagine Lis surprise on finding
that an old bear and two cubs had at
tacked a carting calf. The cattle were
snorting and bellowing at 4 fearful rate,
whilst the pigs were squealing as lustily
as if they expected to be despatched
ev minule. The bear had thrown the
calf down and was preparing to drag it
out of the yard. The cubs were run
ning around snapping their teeth and
uttering Lalf-euppresaed growls of de
light at the prospect of a " good square
meal." ' 1
Mr Elmaker returned to the house at
once, informed bis wife, and made prc-

j his rifle, whilst his wife armed herself

a
. . . . . .
i fierce &rowl of rage, caused by the p;
sin
ful wound, the old bear rushed at her
assailants, followed by the cubs. They
stood their ground for a few minutes, Mr.
Elmaker clubbing the bear with his rifle.

i became apparent. Ketreating r.
at once
g rapidly to
, , ' , , , , , ,
the house, they barred the door and pre
, , , , , , , ,
pared to defend themselves. Mr. Klma-
pared
ker succeeded in reloading his rifle, and,
firing through the window, killed a cub.
The old bear now attempted to climb the
log house, but, owing to her broken paw,
was unable to do so. Another shot from
tbe rifle wounded her severely in the
head, when she set up the most hideous
bowls of rage. Failing to get another
shot at them, the parties inside remained
in a state of siege, prepared to resist any
further attack. Tbe animals loitered
around until midnight, when they retired
and all became still. On making search
in the morning the oil bear was found
dead about six buudred yards from tbe
house, and the cub laid where it fell iu
the early part of the engagement. The
other had disappeared in the forest.
The two dead bears were secured and
dressed. The old one weighed 330 lbs.,
and the cub 193. The Elmakers have a
sufficiency of bear meat to list them for
tbe balance of the season. Tbe skins
will be brought to Williamsport soon and
offered for sale. Tbe affair caused much
talk in tbe neighborhood for several days.
It is seldom that bears are so bold, but
their bravery on this occasion was eaueed,
no doubt, by hunger.' Tbe ealf was badly
lacerated by the teeth and claws of the
animal, bnt will recover. Mrs. Klmaker
says she is ready fur the next raid.

The town vf Gallitzcn, on the Penn

a slate of things just now, somewhat
similar iu a miniature sense to that of
Paris during the reign of the Interna

ty are associated into opposite and con
tending factions. These factions are
designated by names indicating their
character. For example there are tbe
Mollie Maguire men and Paddy Blalone
boys, and other names equally eupbon
ioue aud expressive. Fights have been
for tbe last week or so, matters of com
mon occurrence. At such times tbey
make the very air ring with their shouts
of defiance, burled at each other stones,
and clubs are freely used, and many a
man has to be carried home with a broken
head or limb. A night or two since one
of these desp-rate fights occurred, and
the drunken mob shot a tnan, wounding
him so badly that be is not expected to
live. Another man was so badly beaten
i ' 1 clubs that he lies now
in a critical condition. 1 uls, however,
is not all. Tbe infuriated and irrespon -sible
mob set fire to the house of a Mrs.
Scales, and burned it to the ground
The state of fear and excitement in tbe
vicinity is said to be very great. The
people fear to go ont at night, either for
pleasure or the transaction of business.
