T10NESTA, PA., AN INDIAN'S REVENGE. BY RALril BIN'QWOOD. Whers tlie Kentucky river cuts its way through the mountains, having upon either hand, told, rugged cliffs that lift their summits 500 and 1,000 feet, as the case may be, above the stream, there lived in earlier times a settler by tho name of Kufus Bronson, who, with his wife and child, a charm ing little girl of some eight or nine years of age, occupied the ruda oabin at the base of the precipice, a little buck from the river. Although greatly exposed to danger, the Indians at that time being very plentiful throughout the region be managed to live quietly for several Years. "- - The Indians visited the rude homo of the hunter, and being always wel comed and provided with such food as there might bo in the larder, they maintained a friendly attitude. . Especially were they fond of tho cbild Maggie, and more than one fierce warrior had been sitting on the grass in front of the cabin, listening to the childish prattle of the little one, or ( lao engaged in making it some toy or pluythiu; from the willow twig or pli ant bark Id this manner several years had been past, and Ilufe Bronson came to feel as secure as though he was within the walla of a frontier fort. One eveniug, Broiuon and his wife were seated near the doorway, when suddenly a shaddow fell across tbe tlireshholJ, and the next moment, a tall savage,, whose reeling step and bloodshot eyes told that ho was intox icated, came stuggering up to tho log steps and threw himself upon thera. Ilis first demand was fr fire water, 1 . I. , r n .-' winvu vi vouiev rtiuseu on mo pica that there was none in the bouse. Iho Indian became cross and ugly, swearing with, torrible oaths that if the liquor was nit produce! ho would murder the whole household, lirou- sou was a brave, determined man, aud although he dreaded the necessity, yet he saw he would be csinpclled to lake prompt steps to prevent the savage from executing his threats. Wailing until the warrior had made a demonstration, which he snon did by attempting to draw his tomhawk, Bron son gnrung upon htm aud knocked him down with a blow from his fist, and then quietly disarmed and bound him where he lay; ar.er a few mo ments of furious ravines and futile ef forts to free himself, the savage rolled over and sunk into a drunken slum ber. He did not wake until the next morning, but be lore lie aid so the set tler had quietly removed his bonds and restored the weapon, which ho laid by tho sleeper's side. Iho savage, on awaking, rose slow ly to his feet, felt his wrists as though the thongs had lett a iecimg there, took up hi weapon, aud without speaking a word, left and disappeared in me limner near oy. "What do you think- or that" ask ed tho wife, turning to her husband with a 6carcd look. "Pshaw! Don't trouble your head about the drunken brute," answered tho settler, lightly, but as he turned away aud stepped into the yard ho muttered, "Like it? well not much. Th J fellow must bo watched. I was in hopes that he would not Imvo re lucmbrreu, but that lump where my fist lauded was enough, if nothing else, to recall the circumstances." Tho summer passed away and they saw no more ot the druuken guest. Ho failed to make his appearance. But as the leaves began to full, tho settler, one day, while returning from hunting on the hills, and passing through a deuso piece of timber uot far from vbo house, caught a glimpsn of a figure lurking among tho bushes, but quickly disappearing wheu he ad vanced towards whero it was. The figure was that of an Iudian warrior, and Kul'u Bronson would have sworu that he was tho Indian whom he had knocked down aud bound the pre vious summer. .The kuowledgo was in no way comforting, and licnco he would not tell his wife of tho discove ry ho had made. It would only alarm her, without, perhaps, any good results. Jlesiinply told her he had discovered bear tracks near by, aud that she and bcr child must nay within, or clo.e tho house when lie was absent. Several days afterward Kufo Bron son heard his. dogs iu tho timber down by the river, aud knowing they never opened w ithout a good cause, be caught up his rifle, and hastened to where liiey were barking. They had struck a I're.-h bear track, and as ho arrived iu sight they fairly lilted it, going oil" in a straight line down the river. The chase led hiin several miles, and when at last he got his shot that finish ed bruin's career he found that it was tluoo ur fuur o'clock in the afternoon. Swinging liu ijame to a sapling out wsn NOVEMBER 5.. 1873. of reach of cat or wolf, he started for homo to get his gray marc, and re turn to fetch it that night. Taking a short cut he approached the cabiu from the western side, where timber grew heavy up to. within a few yards of tho building, and consequent ly he could not see the clearing, or what might be transpiring there- until he passed through tho Wood. Thus it was, that, when within but n very short distance of his house, be heard a wild, piercing shriek ; he could only gues3 that something terrible was taking place beyond the screen of bushes and leaves. Uttering a loud shout, that his pres ence, might sooner be known, Bronson leaped i'orward with tho leaps of a wounded buck, a great fear in his heart, for he had only too clearly rec ognized in that scream tho agonized voice of his wife. . It took but a momeut for him to clear tho intervening timber and un dergrowth. As he dashed out into tho clearing, holding his rifle ready for Instant use, he comprehended in ono swift glance nil that had taken place and what was further to fear. Near the end of the cabin, facing the el ill's of which I have ppoken.stood the mother, her face pallid as the dead, her arms outstretched aud staring eyes fixed on the precepitous heights up which the figure of au Indian warrior was struggling, "My child f my child 1" was all the woman said, and then Rufe Bronson saw that the bundle borne in tho In dian's arms was the form of their only child, little Maggie. Firm of heait, and with nerve as steady as the rock around, the father for a moment actually quailed and cowered under what bis quick sense told him, the deadly peril of his little one. But ho was quick to recover. The Iudian was drawing away ; step by step he was increasing the distance. Aud as ha occasionally looked back ward aud downward, the parents saw in his painted countenance the full purpose that actuated the abductor. "God aid me!" muttered Bronson, as he raised his rifle, glanced through the sights, and toucked the trigger. The Indian started violently at tho Bitot. . He was hit, but uot badly, and with a yell of devilish triumph, he passed upward. "Too low, by a couple of inches," said a low, calm voice at the settler's elbow. Bronson started as though he him self had been shot. Where had this man come from ? who was he ? Neither hnd seen him approach. But there was no time for explanations. Tho stranger, a man rather bolow than above ordinary heiahth, whose fine, athletic form was fully displayed by his closely fitting buckskiu gar ments, stepped quickly forward a i'ow paces, nnd firmly planting his left foot iu advance,' threw up an unusually loner riflo as though prepariiiK to fire. "For God's sake, stranger, be care ful of my child 1" cried Bronson, while the acouized mother muttered an in audible praver. "It's our only chance. I know that Indian," was the quick reply, and tho sharp click 1 click I of the hammer as it was drawn back told that tho critical moment had come. Bv this liino the Indian had nearly readied tho summit of the steep. That he was wounded, now became evident, as upon a broad ledge of rock he paused a moment. This opportunity was siezed by the unknown. Although tho savago had taken the precaution to hold tho child up in , f'rout of himsolf, as h shield, covering nearly the whole of his brawny chest, but leaving his head uncovered, the stranger did not hesitate iu making the shot. For one inflant, as it gained its po sition, the rifle wavered, and then in stantly became us immovable as though held in a vice. With closed hands and straining eyes tho parents watched tho siatue like form upon which so much depend ed. Suddenly a tdiarp report rang out tho white smoke drifted away, aud as the vnsiou became clear, they eaw the savage loose bis bold upon the child, reel wildly for a minute, aud then pitch forward upon the rocks. It may be imagined tliut the father was not long in reaching tho place where his child lay, aud iu a few min utes more the little oue was in its mother's arms. I'Tell us who you are, that wo may know what name to mingle with our prayers," they said as tho strauger prepared to depart. "Mv name is Daniel Boone." he said, and was gone.

A writer in tho Iiural New Yorker. treating of trapping vermin generally, says tho following of catching rats in particular: ".Let us now take tho caso of a house badly infested with rats. How diall we get Tid of them? Of course, if they come from some sewer or oth. cr colony, the supply is probably un limited, and the nrst Hung must be to cut oil' all outsiders. - But if wo are troubled with none but natives it will not require much skill to capture evo- ry ono ot them- old, cuuniurr fellows ami all. In the first place, then, we must resolve to take time to it and capture the whole lot, aud to do this no attempt must bo mado to capture single animals, since this wili tend to make them suspicious and will put the old ones on their guard. Then pro vide a large box or barrel ; place in it a quantity of old carpet, brush, etc., and also some food, such as meal, cheese, herring, etc. Bore a two-inch hole iu the side of the box, and leave it for some days. The rats will soon find it out and frequent it. First a young one will go in, and have a good teed and come out all right; the old cues seeing that he is not hurt, they, too, will go in, and in a short time every rat abnut the premises will fre quent it. When this occurs, see that it is well suppled with tood, and ar range over the hole a block having a corresponding aperture cut in it, but haviug also a series ot wires stuck arouud the hole and pointing iuward, just as they are arranged iii a common wire trap, .hverv rat will go in as before, and not ono oan get out. Vari ous methods may be adopted for kill ing them. It you are a cportsman you can let them out oue at a time and shoot them or kill them with ter riers. A few slips of sulphured pa per thrust through tho hole and burned, is, however, a very simple plan, and will give them a most effectual quietus. We have known a case in which sixty- seven rats were caught at ono time in a box arranged as described. In this instance tho premises were eiloctutuly cleared of the vermin." , ... . TUB IUND.MOMT TARES THE LANTERN. In all monasteries monks are apt to be tardy at midnight vigils and drow sy when in their seats. Their peccadil loes were however shrewdly curbed by au abbot who once - oidaincd that whoever entered tha chapel last should carry a lantern round and round till ho caught some brother napping. Then he might rouse the sleeper, hand him the lantern und take his seat, while the other set out in quest of sleepers. It fares with lund-huntcrs as with monks. Those who take time by tbe fore-lock, take the most comfortable places, butt the laggards must take their lanterns, and puce many a wearv round before they can catch ono of their forerunners napping and oust him. The public domain U so large, that if homesteaders occupy it no faster than they did in the last decade, they will not exhaust it till Iho end ot live centuries. But in truth they take it up faster and faster, and the desirablo portion of public lauds is less than half its area. Tho acres within reach of railroads are a still smaller frac tion. Among the three thousand who havo bought iuritis in Nebraska of tho Burlington & Missouri Uiver Kail road, every man in going to his pur chase, has probably passed homesteads every way as valuable, which he might J i i- once nave occupiuu as nee grains, n c all know hoiv if we ouly knew icieu. But the best thing about Nebraska is, that the government nas boiu none of its newer portions to spcculutois, but that its matchless farm arp owned by a ruilroad.whose liuc is valueless till the country it traverses is settled and improved. Hchco the low rates, fares, freights, interest, the rebate for speedy culture, the long credit, aud long-do- ferred first payments, &a., by which tho Burlington & Missouri River Rail road Company promote settlements along their line. But here, too, the most comfortable seats are last tilling; the laggards take the most pains, for they must carry the lanterns, There is gambling in our households and personal expenses, as unjustifiable as iu our business adventures, It is gambling to live at a high rate, trust ing to luck to meet the bills ; to occu py a heavily mortgaged house; to dress wives aud children in liuer cloth ing than we can pay for; fumUh out m.rlura with huudsoma- upholstery on credit, aud to keep a loose running account with our trroccr aud our butch er, knowing if we would stop long enough to know at all that we can not pay for what we purchase.

Fortheso aud all other mer cies vouchsafed it becomes us as a peo ple to return heartfelt and grateful acknowledgements, and with our thanksgiving, we may unite in prayers lor me cessation ol local and tempora ry sufferings, . I therefore, recommend that on Thursday, the 27th day of November next, the people meet in their respective places ot worship to make their acknowledgement to Al mihgty God for His bounty and His protection, and to offer up praises for their continuance.

The bakeries produced on the average for the. last docade, 800,000 pounds yearly, which, at tho ralo of oue pound per day for "each adult duriug the eight days generally observed, would make a number of 100,000 persons.
