To the veriGcA.ioa of that old darre I owe tbe fact of my . violence beinir prolonired to the present time. instead of bavin? been cut short tff some fifteen years airo. Id tbe vea'r 1S31. I tbea connec ted with a heavr drv eoods estau- lishmeat in New York city .assent ia the interests of tbe hoc3e bv which I was e ployed, on a businejs tour through the West, taking ia St Joseph, and several other paints in Missouri. At that time the Kansas fever was at its height. Jirn ane was tri umphant, and tbe more serious bor der trouble? had terminated in the ratification of squatter sovereignty. Oa closing up business at St. Jo seph, Cnding myself ahead of ruy ap pointments, aad with a little leisure, hanging heavily on my hands, I re solved to take a trip into the coun try across tbe border, aad satisfy, as best I might in tho short space allot ted me, a certain lively curiosity, which enhanced my interest, in the e" citement, the people aad every thing pertainirg to the country. At that time few protective meas ures had been established, tbe settlers in cases of emergency, relying cu tirely upon their amateur detective, vieilaace committees. As might have been exricted in such a state of affairs, thievey ran riot, and regu larly organized bands of despera e characte-9 drove a flourishing trade upon their "pickings" from the de fenseless frontiersmen. Stock raisers were particularly un fortunate, and manv a fine horse, in- sreniouslr gotten awar bv the prac ticed experts ia rascalitv, found its way without detection into the South era markets. To illustrate the shrewdness of the slippery gentry, not an uncommon practice was to stain the coat of an uncommonly fine animal, 90 that even his own master, meeting him oa the road, would fail to recogonize his missing property. The thieves, after gettiny across the river, had their regular trail throu?b the Mi.-souri bottom, which is a dense forest of cottonwood, and honeycombed with numerous bridle paths. They had a rendezvous at regular intervals along the line, their numbers, their bold ness, aad skillful devices, making it an "-xception, rather than a role, if any unit of the great whole was over taken by the claims cf justice. I had gained the preceding infor mation, when, on sroing to a stable to hire a saddle horse, relative to my intended trip, I found that on account of the risks to be encountered, I could only obtain what I desired, by leav ing a eura ia the hands of the owner sufficient to cover the loss of the ani mal, ia case I was so unfortunate as to lose possession of him before my return. In short I was obliged to regular ly purchase the beast, and for the Drst tirre ia my life owned a bit cf horse flesh. Setting out then nport my own ani mal, unincumbered by any luggage except a tourist's satchel, strapped across cne shoulder, after the manner of a hunting pouch, I left St. Jot-epb early in tbe morning, crossed the riv er, struck through tbe bottom across a corduroy road, and alter a twelve mile ride came into Troy. Kansas was at that time very sparsely settled. The squatters gen erally gat down near the borders of a stream, where tkey had the double advantage of water and timber, but for the most part, the towns had ben started out on the broad prairie, though, save three or four insignifi cant bouses, they were, at the time of which I speak jxiper enterprise, be ing principally found on the map! Passing Troy, I came out upon high,, rolling prairie. Eight to ten miles farther, according ta my best recollection of tie distance, took me across a stream called Wolf river. Traveling npon horseback at this point in my journey, it began to press upon me in any light hut that of a diversion, for, aside from the fatigue attendant upon my unaccustomed ex ercise, and the execrable condition of the roads, my horse, who, at best bad proved himself a hard riding beast, began -to show unmistakable symp toms of giving out My 'gnorance as to "points" had permitted a worn out hack to be im posed upon me as a desirable saddle horse; though, in justice to myself, let it be said that the outward appear ance of the quadruped was a better commendation than his capabilities as a roadster. For a short spurt he might answer Terr well, but for an all day's trip he was a decided fail ure, and my briefly planned absence was liable to double, or even treble; in extension, if I were forced to de pend upon the wiad and tpced of my new acquisition. j I was just trying to study up somej war out of my difficulty when a1 sound of arTroachinff hoofs struck SVl . j tir ear. and loi-.kino- nr.. I saw a man. also cn horseback, coini?; rap'"- set ESTABLISHE D, 18 2 SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY, toward me. As he drew nearer I saw that he was piainlf and coarse ly dressed like a farmer in his every day clothes, though neither his rus tic appearance, nor tbe plainness of his accourterments could disguise the beauty of the animal on which he rode. I saluted Lain as he came ud with some question as to the road, lie answered hastily, andv was pushing past when I stopped die again. "What is the next lawn I strike ahead?" I asked. ; H Highland." "How far beyond ' "Eight miles." He answf t'ed laconically; but tam ing his head was looking carefully over my drooping steedj. "Do you live anywhere ia thia vi ciaitv?" I aiked, meditating whether, fur a co xpea-atioa, I coald noteuect an exchange at some farm house along tbe wav, at least until any return "Wall, yes," I own a farm the oth er Eide of Troy. That's a fine beast of your'n, stranger." "I was about to remark tbe same of yours," I replied eourteously, though bardiy relishing bis sarcasm. "Ligbtfoot is a trim little nag, now isn't she? be ssid, with admiring fondneos. "I've raisetl her from a colt and, can't p'int out a thing agin her; but she's too light for my busi ness. I want something heavier. Is that horse of your'a for sale?" "Well, I really had'nt thought abodt selling ," I began. "Stranger," interrupted the man, earnestly, turning and riding up be side me, "tint horse of your'n is just a match for one I've got at home. I've been looking for more'a ayear to find a mate to him, aad here he is, clear to the white fetlock oa the off hind foot. "S aager, howH you trade?" "What say you to an exchange?" I asked, jocularly. "Make me an of fer," I continued, thinking it the best way to conceal my ignorance of jock eying. Slippliog from his saddle, bridle in haad, he carefully examined my ho se, pryiog into his month, holding up his feet, aad sounding his chest. "Well, stranger, I've eaid more'n once that if I ever found a match to old Tekc, if 'twas on the- road to meetin', and the parson was a riding him, I'd stop and make a trade. I want that horse, and III make yon a thuaderia' good offer; just as tbev stand, horse, saddle and bridle call it aa even trade. Will you, take it or leave it?" t "Take it!" I replied, emphatically, delivering up my bridie. "Considerin'," continued my com panion, "that I hunted more'n a year to make this very match, and consid erin' that tbe boys at home are eter nally foolia with Ligbtfoot, I'm sat isfied to call it an even trade." Mounting hia bargain, he waited until, examining and tightening the girths, I followed his example; then, with a brief exchange of courtesies, each went his separate way, the whole interview occupying little more than ten minutes. Arched neck, and daintily limbed, my recent purchase carried me like a bird. I put her through her paces; she was kind, free, and true as steel I had hard work to put asHe tbe old suggestion: Appearances are often deceitful," aad to convince myself that, in spite of the evidence of my own eyes, I had not been in some way efrrefriously taken in. That anv sane person could value the ping I oad brought ff'ipi St. Jo, a3 an equiv alent for the colt I bud now under me, seemed almost incredible. Was it possible that like tbe man who sold a barren field aad found that the pur chaser bad discovered a gold mine under it, I bad been bargaining away undiscovered excellence? My mind steadily reverted to its first suspicion, and as I rode I kept a constant look out for some lurking symptom ot' "diablerie, which should account for the reckless sale. At last it came, though not from the direc tion I had anticipated I hac crossed Wolf River, and was riding leisurely along tbe prairie, when a sudden scurry of ringing hoofs in the rear turned my attention in that way, and looking 1 saw some ball mile awar three mounted men, who had apparently just left tbe tim ber bordering the stream, bearing rapidly down toward me. What a reckless riding people those Kansas settles were! Their pell mell gait wonld have better suited a hurdle race, as compared to tbe ev ery day j ?g trot of our eastern far mer. I was in an unfamiliar locality, among unfamiliar people, and abso lute veracity compels me to acknowl edge that, remembering sundry ac counts of the unsettled state of tbe country, a decidedly uncomfortable sensation began to creep over me. I unloosened tbe rein, and my horse strnck into a quicker pace. "They are doubtless," thought I, some farmer's boys making a trial of speed." And yet I someway felt a good deal safer when coming to a side track. I struck off into it, thinking to regain tbe main road whea the approaching riders had passed by. Aa luck would have it, they tam ed up tbe side path also, and came dashing on be hind a quarter of a mile away. My horse, laving back her ears, struck into a gallop. Oa we sped like the wind, distanc ing them by every step. An insane desire prompted me to get back into tbe traveled road, and drawing the bridle rein, I set out across the un broken prairie. Then for the first time I became certain that I was an object of pursuit. The three horse men also left tbe bridle path and fol lowed in my tracks. I saw that tbey were heavily armed. Visions of robbery and murder flit ted through my brain. I gave my animal her bead. My dependence now was npon her speed. .In clear ing the bridle path she bad broken into a dead run, and with neck straight as an arrow, eye wild, and nostril dilated, she ran like a banting hound, lithe and laying close to tbe ground. Instant by instant we gained stead ily upon our pursuers. I was jast congratulating myself tbat escape was a thing of certainty, when down WW .Saiuj J went my horse, one foot in a gopne, hole, while I. thrown from the sad mckthe ground half senselessr J I e 7. SEPTEMBER 22, 1S75. cpon my head and shoalders I was barely conscious of being lifted npon a saddle, and a cord be ing placed around my ankles. Con versation I heard also, bat indistinct ly, and without a shadow of its par port reaching my dolled brain. - Af ter a little I felt myself in motion, but a listless indiference held me in bondage. It was as though all this was happening to another person than myself. When I began to recover my senses I knew that tbe three pursuing horse, men had been joined by a larger band. Conversation grew intelligi ble. "So yon've captured the game!" "Hale I be glad to see his are again!" "Well Btring up one of the cursed gang, at any rate!" As tbee chance sentences fell up on my ear, it began to creep through my mind that I had been mistaken for a vastly different personage than the respectable, curious, pleasure seeking tourist who had set ont so ambitiously tbat morning from St Joseph. Undoubtedly in my present ap pearance, dusty, travel-stained, dis heveled, few traces of my former re spectability remained to testify for me. My curiositv was likely to be satisfied. Yet could it be possible ;hat I, who so prided myself npon honor aud principle, should be mista ken for that lowest of criminals, a common horse thief? Mortifying suggestion? Yet it was e iJent that such a mistake did at present exist, and that I was in the hands of a vigilance committee. As tbe horror of my situation came home to me, I tried to col'ect my thoughts and frame some evidence tbat might obtain my release from this terrible dilemma. I remembered with a thrill of terror, tbat I had left all my papers behind, and had not even a line to show that I was one whit better than tbev had taken me for. ' They had now come back to tbe timber bordering Wolf river, from the concealment of which tbey had first ridden out upon me. Here they halt ed for trial, and I, bound in the midst: of them, looked around upon the cir cle my Belf-imposed judges. Glances of stern, unpitying determination met mine. . . Tbey were strong, Intelligent.' har dy frontiersmen; men of sturdy in dustry, unswerving integrity,, and iron will, persevering in the attain-! ment of their aims, and prompt in fulfilling the claims of juati 2. "Gentlemen," I cried "this is a terrible mistake! I am no criminal. but a simple tourist, came to look at the coon try. My name is D L and I am from the firm of King & King, New York city. Rubn & Leigh the heaviest merchants in St, Joseph, can establish the proof 01 my meotily. ' laikeJjyoa brought Hale's mare from New York city!" was the sneering rejoinder of the leader of the vigi'anta. "Gentleman," I replied, earnestly. 'I never set eyes on tin's mare until past nooa of this very day. I had ber from a man in tbe dresa of a far mer, who said he lived on the other side of Troy. He took in exchange for this a horse I brought down from St. Jo." A laugh of derision ran around the circle. , - "Show as yoar papers, boss." "Unfortunately for me" I replied "my papers were left behind with my luggage at St. Jo. If you will take the trouble to go, send or ia any wise investigate this matter, 1 can prove to you the truth of my words." "That's altogether too thin?" "He wants to gain time." "He' a plausible rascal, but he mustn't slip through our hands." Such were the muttered comments which greeted my story. Heavens! was there no salvatioa ! A mock trial was held, during which I was proven to have deliber ately stolen tbe mare from her mas ter's stable, run ber off, and it is need less to add that my race before the committee, and subsequent seizure on flight, trave a stronc coloring of truth to tbe evidence on their side. Fer my defence, I repeated and re iterated my former statement, but no Cteuence was allowed me. A rope was brought forward, and suspended from a neighboring tree. My hands bad been previously tied behind my back. I shuddered as the noose was placed around my neck. To be cat thus off. in the prime of maahood, without a farewell word to those I loved, far from kindred and friends, and bitterest of all I to expi ate the crime of another tbat other total stranger ia a shameful death myself the unfortunate victim of a fa tal mistake, what wonder if head and heart were bursting I . . My feet were untied from under the horse's belly, aad in a ; few sec onds more the horse would have been driven out from under me, whea, like a gleam of the star of hope from tbe folds of a midnight cloud, my eye caught as one of the Vigilantes threw open bis coat, a small object fastened npon tbe lapple of his vest. With the energy ot a drowning man grasping at a saving plank, 1 wrenebed free one band, . and witn his eye fall upon me, made a simple The man started and answered it I gave another which was answered; and still another, a masonic sign in the Chapter. - : Then starting breathlessly forward my brotner laid a nrm detaining band on each side of th - bridal- reign. - -. - Boys, cut tbat rope I as tare as there is a Heaven, this man baa spok en the troth ! Ill stake my life npon it t .-,a . A horse thief has never been! known to travel tbe road this -man has been over. Criminals are made of different materiaL" . At the close of this earnest though harried epeec!., a murmer of dissatis faction ran through tbe group. "It's all right boys; 111 swear 'tis! I know this man. Some of yon come home with me to-night, and to mor row we will go down to Sr. Jo and I'll prove it. Ill pay alt tbe expens es there and back.' - With some relaetance lor it was blind work to themthey took me oat of the hangman's aoose, and then ra the reaction was aa great, I fainted dead away. As soon a3 I recovered. I gave as full description as I was able of the man with whom I had traded horses. an rl indicated the same direction af- forward taken . bv him. oa the streagth of which statements, four of the party directly set out in pursuu of him. - Three of tho Vigilantes attended me back some six or eight miles farth er into th country, to my friends farm housewhere the kindest atten tions were showered upon me by both himself and family. His surprise at my not having in th first assemblage a-, the trial, giv en the sign, is only to be answered by my bewilderment of mind, which rendered me half incapable of com mon judgment or reason. I will con fess, ,'iowever, that op to this time I had allowed myself to get rather "rusty," but sioce Masonry wa3 the sole means of rescuing me from a death at whose bare details I shud der to mention, I have taken botn care and pride that there should be not one ' brighter" ia the Lodge. But, to resume. A good night's rest quite built me op again, and when, next day, tbe four gentlemen accompanied me bac't to St. Joseph I ws able to co iviace them beyond a donbt, not only of my own innocence of crime imputed to me, but that circumstancial ev:dence. although a necessary requirement of tbe law, is not always a reliable test of euilt. The real offender was afterwards caught aad mde confession of this and other crimes. First impressions being usually lasting. I have never again experi enced the least desire to set foot upon Kansas soil. Coloael t rlcklej-a 11 arse-. I have never been able to ascertain the origin of the quarrel between the Crickley's and the Drakes. They have Iiv;d within a mile of each oth er for five years, and from their first acquaintance, there had been a mu tual feeling of dislike between the two families. Then some misunderstand ing aboat tDe Dounaary of the re spective farms revealed the latent flame, and Colonel Crickley having followed a fat buck all one afternoon and wounded him, came up to him aad found old Drake and bis sons catting him up. This incident added fuel to the fire, and from that time there was nothing that the two fami lies cii not do to annoy each other. One eveung Mr. Drake the older was returning home with his "pocket full of rocks," from the market town, whither be had been to sell a load of grain. Sam Barstow was with him on the wagon, and as they approach ed a grove which interve ed between them and Mr. D.-a':e's bouse, he ob served to bis companion : Wbat a beautiful mark Cricklev's old Roan is over yonder !'' "Hang it !" muttered Drake, "30 it is. 7T The horse was some trees aboat standi a a; under twelve rods from th road. Involuntarily Drake stopped bis team he glanced furtively around, then, with a qrter smile, the old hunter took up his rifle from the bot tom of his wagon,- and raising it to his shoulder, drew a sight on the Colonel's horse. "Eeajtiful!" he muttered, lower ing his rifle with the air of a man re sisting a powerful temptation, "1 could drop old Roan s easy!" "Shoot!" suggested Sam Barstow, U7 Vl n lnvail fur. in anw tlnno ( "No, no, 'twoalda't do," said the old hunter, glancing around again. "I won't tell," said Sam. "Wal,I won't shoot this time, any way, tell or no telL The horse is too nigh. If he was fifty rods instead of twelve, so the e'd be a rare possibili ty of mistaking him for a deer, I'd let fly. As it is 1 would give the Colo nel five dollars for a shot." At that moment the Colonel him self stepped from behind a big oak. not half a dozen pares distant and before Drake. "Well, why dont you shoot ?" The old boater stammered in some confusion, "That you Colonel! I I was tempted to, and, as I said, I'll give you a V for one poll." "Say an 'X' and it is a bargain." Drake felt for hi rifle, and looked at old Roan. "How much is the boss worth?" he muttered ia Sam's ear. "About fifty." "Gad, Coloael III do it ! Here's your 'X'" The Colonel pocketed the money muttering, "Hanged if I thought you'd take me up !" I . With high glee the old hunter put a fresh cap on his rifle, and stood up in the wagon, a close sight on old Roan. Sam Barstow chuckled. The Colonel put up his hand before his face and chuckled too. j Crack went tho rifle. Tbe hunter tore out a horrid oath, which I will not repeat Sam was astonished. Tbe Colonel laughed. Old Roan never stirred. : Drake started at his rifle with look black as Othello's. '.'What's the matter with youP hey? Fust time yon ever sarved me such a trick, "And Drake loaded the piece with sreat wrath and indignation. "People said you'd lost your knack of shooting " observed tbe Colonel, in a euttiuir tone ef satire. Who said so 7 It s a lie I" thunder ed Drake,. "I caa shoot " "A horse at ten rods ! ha I ha !" Drake was Livid. "Look here. Colonel, I can't stand that," he began. "Never mind, the horse can, sneered the Colonel, "111 risk you." Grinding his teeth, Drake produc ed another tea dollar bilL : "Crack away," cried the Colonel, pocketing th note. Drake did (rack away with dead ly aim, too bat the horse did not miad tbe ballet ia the least To tbe rage- aad unutterable astonishment of the banter, old itoavn looked tiro in the face as if be liked the fun. "Drake," cried Sam, "yoa are drunk. - A horse at a dozen yards oh ray eyes V "Jnst shot toot month or III shoot yoa" thundered the excited! LLO whole xo. 1203 Drake. "The ballets were hollow 111 swear. Last week I rut off a a goose's head at fifty yards and kin do it again. By the old llarr.

Elated with the idea of win ning back Vhe two tens, and making an "X" in the bargain. Mr. Drake carefully selected a perfect ball and buckskin patch and loaded his rifle. A minute later, D.-ale was driving through the grove, the most enraged, the most desperate victim of of men. His rifle, innocent bis ire, with broken stcck cn the bot tom of the wagon. Mean bile, the Colonel was rolling, convulsed with mirth, and old Roan Wis stand ing undisturbed under the tree. When Drake reached home, his two sons, discovering his ill-humor, and the mutilated condition of his rifle stock, hastened to arouse his spirit with a piece of news which they were sure would make him dance with joy. "Clear oat!" grtwled tie angry old man, "I don't w tot to here any cew3 ; get away, or I'll knock one of yoa down !" "Bat, father, it's such a good trick !" "Blast yoa and your tricks !" "Hayed off on the Colonel !" "On the Colonel ?'' cried the old man, beginning to be interested, ' Gad, if you're played the Colonel a trick, let's hear it." "Well, father, Jed aad I. this after noon, wejt oat for a deer." "Hang the dee, come 0 the trick.'' "Couldn't find any deer, but thought we must shoot something, so Jed banged away at the Colonel's old Roan shot him dead." "Shoot old Roan ?" thundered the old man. "By the old Harry, Jed, did you shoot the Colonel's boss ?"' "I didn't do anything else." "The deuce!" groaned the old hunter. "And then," pursued Jack, confi dent the joke part of the story plead ed his father, Jim and I propped the boss up and tied his bead back with a cord, add left him standing under the tree, exactly as if he was alive. Ha ! ha ! fancy the Colonel going to catch him ! Ho ho !wasat it a joke ?' Old Drake's head fell upon ht3 breast He felt hi3 empty pocket book and looked at his rifle. Then in a rueful tone, he whispered to his boys. "Yes, boys, it's a joke I tat if yoa ever tell of it or if you do Sam Bartsow I'll skin you alive. By the old narry, boys, I've beea siioov ing at that dead boss half aa boar at ten dollors a shot" Oivldlsis; tbe Farm. A writer savs that for a farm of eighty to one hundred acres, upon which the usual rotation of clover, com, cats aad wheat is followed, and stock, chiefly cows, with a small flock of sheep, is kept to consume the bulky portion of the crop, a pasture of twetity acres will be found suffi cient This should be divided into at least three fields. One would be grazed for cattle followed by the sheep for these should never be paafVired together but the latter be ing close feeders, may follow the for mer with advantage, while the for mer eould not find subsistence in a field that bad been cropped by tbe latter. The third field would then rest while the others were being fed off. The alteration would be bene ficial for both grass and stock. Toe rest of tbe farm should be divided in to fields or plot3 of proper size by bands of grass, which can be mowed, or by simple paths. Tbe most con venient division is into six fields, which will give a yearon eachef corn, wheat and oats aad three of hay. One of the latter three fields might be appropriated to provisional crops, such as potatoes, roots, corn fodder, buckwheat or millet The orchard, garden, barnyard, with tbe building sites, and a few paddock3 around the barn-yard for calves and celts, will occupy at least five acres upon a farm of tbe size here described. All these must necessarily be permanent ly and safely enclosed, and the whole farm will be surrounded with a sub stantial fence. However much the abolition of fences may be desirable, it is improbable that it will soon be found practicable. Such fences as are here mentioned may be taken as the least requirement in that way of any well-managed farm under our present circumstances. Uutside iea ces may certainly be done away with if a general understanding is arrived at to that effect Inon. Fall Sclas;.
