On" the iorlhM!i i of the Cheat
river, about tiro -'lin ; om thocor.flu
encc. with tho' i --on j ihcla, there is
a romantic cl-" n n1 the Alum
Uocks. . The'Aio- t J.'ocks consist of a
grand and imp. ; lcdo, several
hundred J'ards i i ! "--th, looking down
upon Ihe windir-;? liver from a. height
of fully thr;Mi ' r.drcd f'C-.t. . The
Icdce is r: r r.i irrc-ular, itbl the

cal era r r (p-.ooiblj both) have eaten
into it bx'-t numbers of cellular cavi

a hopcyco ; . The nmiu portion of
the ledge !' of gray snudstone, through
which r in veins of pure alnni; hence
its r.n Si ,'.v
Whe ; ": f 'elements in this part of
Western l' nuaylvania were quite
youbg, the 1,: f kwood3 people used to
go to these r ks to obtain alum to bo
used iucoL ; garments.
It was at l ? romantic place that nn
early settler met with a remarkable
adventure. His natno was George
Mitlan. H- was a famous hunter,
fisherman iv Indian fighter, and fear
ed nothicj: in tho shape of beast or
8atngn. ,i As. early as 1754, three
brother tf the name of Eckerl in set
tled naj tho mouth of Big Whitely
crtck stream which empties into
the Monougahela but in a fewjears,
for soiri:s reason or other abandoned
tht3 point, and moved to a place some
miles u'ii the Cheat river, which they
nr; ied Dunl-r-d JJottoms. in honor of
tk4r rt'.iL'i' faith, and there set
about. establishing a settlement.
Growing short of supplies, one of
their piumbcr, a doctor, took some iurs
and vent east to a trading post, occu
pying the present site of Winchester,
Va, Ileturnini with his supplies, he
Hopped at Port Pleasant, where he was
not believed when ho stated that he
and his brothers had penetrated so far
west, through the wilderness.
Vinallv a party of frontisrsmea ac
coiapanied him among them George
. Mitlau and on arriving at Dunkard
-Btttoms, they found that Doctor Eck
'eriiii'a brother had been murdered and
alped by Indians, and their cabiu
urned. I
After burvincr the (Vad. the party
I'oleturncu to r on neasaui, uu cActpt-
cAn'r Mitlan. who determined to remain
i while on the shores of the Cheat, oud
rltake a survey of the country.' He was
much pleased with the locality, aDd
after a few weeks he returned to Fort
Pleasant: and endeavored to luduce
soma of tho frotiersmen to eo with
him and found a settlement.
None would tro so far west, however
and he determined to tak;, his family
roiisistinor of a wife and two chil
dren and establish a settlement him
self on the shores of the Cheat, '-confident
that others would follow within a
year. lie did so, arriving in tho vicin
ity of the Alum Koeks one evening in
May, just. at sunset. . .
They halte.d for the night on a, pla
teau within ia .hundred yards of the
rreei nice, find set about preparing, a
plain supper.' Mitlan began to look
about for Water aud, without knowing
that he was so near the river, started
in the direction of tho precipice. The
Elateau was covered with heavy tim
er, but lhro was no underbrush, so
that he might go clear to the brink of
the ledge without going out of sight ot
his family.
On reaching it, he stood some
seconds looking down up;m the quiet
river, and upon the wild scenery of
the opposite shore. " " .
r.The surroundings were of such
grandeur as to arrest the eyo of any
ne, ond for a moment George Mitlan
forgot hi, errand.' , , ;
After admiring the scene a while, ho
thoucht of calliucr his wild to view it,
and he turned on the edge of the prec
ipice to do sv At the same luJtaut he
heard her utter a 6tartled scream, and
he was not long in preceiving the
causa.
As he turned hii face toward where
ho had left his wife and children, he
found himself confronted by two-large
ludiails, with drawn tomahawks. They
were decked, out with feathers, and
their faces were covered with Btreaka
of red and yellow war-paint.
They were,",. iv feet from him,
and must have be.vn concealed among
the fibres in .the largo rocks which
w'bcattered' about in great profu
sion ou the top of the ledge, and they
regarded the pttMtr wi;V hideous
grius aud grimaces' as they saw him
apparently in their power.
The thought of tho .two pitiless sav
ages standing between him and his wife
aud little children" nearly paralyzed
him for the moment, liravo though he
was, and with stunning force it flashed
upon his braiu what a horrible fate
probably awaited them after the sava
ce should have murdered him.
Thev spranir foward, and oue of
them aimeJ a blow at his head with

tho danger had come upon him sosud-
dentlr that ho hud no time to use it as
an ofTuna.ve weapon;' but being at nc-
tive ne a panther, he raised it qniewly,
and very dexterously w.trded olP the I
blow -winch otherwise must have clot- I
en his-ekull.
To ndd to the horror of his situation
his 'wife ran screaming toward the
scena of the encounter, and .the chil
dren followed, fchrieking with terror."
Another blow was aimed at him,
which ho also barely warded oil".
Deing pressed closely, lie took a step
backward, in order to use his rifle,
when to the horror of his wif he step
ned over the brink, and fell to tho
bot of tho precipice, which at tjiis
ooint was forty feet high.
l " " . m
The exultant "savages then turned
upon Mrs. Mitlan, who, crazed by the
tate of her husoanci. as?anea inem
fiercely with a hatchet, tho only weap
on left her : but altar a strurrzle ot a
fow seconds, they succeeded in over
powering and' disarming her.
lheir farst object seemed to oe to
take her into captivity ; but when they
had bound her hands, a di'icussion ap
nnrentlr urns a helrrpen them.
One of
the savages was raving wildly, and he
tv.iiitud t.n a ttlirrbt nit lift had receiv-
ed on the cheek from her hatchet,
during t'leir brief encounfer, aud sho
surmieod that he was enraged tit it

They then quickly tied the poor

bound him to it with t'lones of raw
hide so tightly that he cried with pain
then, tu the horror of the mother,
they began to gather dry sticks and
to pile them' about his feet.
She saw now what their ', intention
was. X ho were come iO: roasi ner

As she realized this, she utterftd
such wails of anguish as might almost
have touched the heiwt of a wild beast;
but the .savages only proceeded with
their work, Stopping a inomeui, -iiaw
and then, to Uunt her

It was the voice of her husband,
who, rilla in hand, came rushing upon

'Now. le' him go ''-he tsjd as he

Bhr "id so, leaping back to avoid a

'Oh, thank God thank God ' ex
claimed Mrs. Mitlan, in a frenzy ot
joy. at tho. unexpected deliverance.
'George t Georgol what has saved you?

"It's a miracle that I was not," he
replied, as he took her in his arms

heard you and the children scream

me up for dead, and turned their at
tention to you. So, as quiet as I
could, I hurried along the toot of the
ledge, and found a place where I could
climb up. I made it just in time to
see that chap raise his tomahawk to
strike you.
In a second, 1 cocked
my rifle and let him have it.' ' I
Notwithstanding the peril attending
their, arrival on the batiks of the
Cheat, the Mitlans concluded to stay,
and in a few years, having been joined
by others, had established a prosper-
oils settlement, which, happily, was nev-
er subsequently disturbed by Indians,
