IThe Vvw Florida War.—A Horrid Spectacle. The Florida papers come to us full of In dian troubles again; and in the Tampa Pe ninsular, of fan. 5, we find a long account of the late attack upon Lieut, llartsuffnnd parly by the Indians from which we make the following extract: “On Sunday, Dec. 16, Lieut. HarlsufTand parly were hulled about ten miles from Fort Drum. ■ On the morning of the 291 h, were lying in a pine grove, half a mile in extent, and about 5 A. Al. were busy getting ready to march, harnessing, &c., when the war whoop sounded, and they received a volley. This, of c mrse, was utterly unexpected, and all was confusion. Some little firing from the parly ensued, but several were out of reach of th< ir arms. Williams was sixty j ards di-t ml from his rifle, saddling his horse he mad ■ his escape. Those who could git their*piercs fired (hem, and then loaded ( up for the Ln ulen ml, who fought bravely until he was wounded, when he exclaimed “ I am done lor,” bui suddenly pulling out his pistol, cried out; “No, by heaven; Ihe pistol has saved my life, for the bull has struck ii!” Hannah and Baker wore wounded at this line. Tie survivors then separated, and it is presumed the plunder aline prevented the savages from pursuing them.” As so- n ns ihe news reached Fort Mots, Co), brown ordered companies E am) K to he in readiness at day-break, with teams and a six-pounder. They were ready and de parted in full strength for the battle-ground. A letter savs: “Cjmpanv G and the citizens were le/t lo protect Fort Myers, cannons were planted, defenses erected, houses pierced for musket ry, and every precaution adopted lo prevent surprise. Larne fires were noticed by the I’u'a Rjssa force along the coast, and.they have been ordered to keep to the block-house, us it is supposed these signals were lo ap prise the whole nation of the recent events, and that other hostile demonstrations might reasonably ne cxpecicd. “ * * * On the arrival of Col. Brown at the place of conflict a scene met their view, of n description so horrible that words cannot describe it; for the corpses of the four unfortunates were still above ground, although in a revolting condi’ion. They were vMipcfi and iiuleceu'ly mutilated.— Their death* were, of course, caused by the large nu iiuitv oi halls which had perluraled heads, chesty ~ but that they were mutt, laled, while still livntc, is evident from the signs of warfare around them, such ns the learina up of grass and soil, the posi'ton, the bits of clothes remaining in their hind-.

Their mourners fired a salvo oi artillery into the adjoining thicket, but no war-whoop of the foe was blended with the echoes that answered. Their names were llor'h ‘G,’ American; Foster ‘E,’ Curran, and Murlatigh, ‘K,' Irish. 1 believe two allies b tvo been recovered, and one mole, shol in lour places, remken ; two horses found dead and two missing ; wagons, Ate.' were burnt, and moles shot in their harness Manv a heart turned sick as they gaz'd on the work n' demons, and manv a vow was registered «hose fulfillmen' will bring Sor row and de-olation into the cabins ol om I'je.v Nothing was seen of Indians on ihe roule going or doming, (hough doubtless tin- Indians snr them.

One day he brought un a trout fish ahoiil the size of a man’s hide linger, in his whtsKey jug, (hv the hv we used a little on Ihe farm then.) 1 pul n m the well near Ihe house, and it is there now, grown to a goodly size—say about a foot long, and large in proportion. It has been fed but very lit tle ; once in a while some one throws in a grisshopper, or cricket, to see him catch it. and well is thirty feet deep, and water hard, then settled down nearly to the bottom, and then again rises to near the top.. He has been taken out a few times to clean the well, but not for the last five years. Friday last, 1 got a grasshpper, the last one I export to see this fall, and gave it In him. The water is now twenty-five feet deep, but it hardly touched the surface before he had it. If any one lias a fish older than mine, I would like to Jtaotv it. An Editor Farming. —Conk of the Nilps Republican , determined ihis season to raise his own potatoes. Accordingly he prepared half an acre of land, at a cost of 850. Ploughing, seed and planiirg cost §7 mure making 857. A “surprising flood” came— his poiaiues went under, and the half acre was again ploughed, dragged and seeded In buckwheat, at a further enst of 83 50, ma king 860 50. Cook and his “devil” have thrashed the buckwheat, and got ONE BUSHEL AND A HALF. A Man who had both arms broken by a railroad accident, claiming damages, the com pany offered him a small sum of money, and a "free ticket over the road for life /” This was adding insult to injury. They evidently meant to kill him off altogether! On a sailor’s gravestone, in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, are the following words to be seen : “Nobly he did his duty below, and now ha has gone aloft.” Leap Year, — The girls will have fine times (his year, if they choose to exdccise.the “prerogative” accorded to them in leap year six centuries ago, and sanctioned by custom ever since. If they could induce Congress to enact some such act ns the following, passed by the Scotch Purliment in the year of grace 1288, they might get many n gay bachelor in a bad place. The gallant Scotchmen of that age enacted as follows: “It isstatut.and ordain! that during the reine of her maist blissil Mageslie, ilk fourth year, known leap year, ilk maiden lavde of bulb high and lowestait shall hae liber'v to bespeak ye, man she.

A Fdnns Illustration.—The Boston Post says a teacher of a primary school in that city, recenily speaking of Ihe dtffetence between human and brute expresinn, named by way of illustration the noble dog as nexi l-• man in intelligence, and asked her lilile pu pils what mode a dog adopted to express grat ification. One linlc girl ventured to suggest D O lha- he wagged his tail. “Right, my dear,” said the teaefter, “very right; and (his is the difference between us and the dogs ; we never do as they do—wa express our gratification in words.” Children amused by reading or study, nre of course more considerate and more easily governed. How many parents, who have mu spent twenty dollars for books for their fami lies, would have given hundreds lo reclaim » son or daughter who had innorantlv or thoughtlessly fallen into lemptalion. —Ohio Farmer.
