    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-.
Cuiran wns a remarkably ailelhie. man; he
held a piece of an Indian shirt still in hisl
grasp Tnet were nil dccen’ly imerred
where Ihev hu.nl least what ihere was of
them, for ho turkey buzzards had taken toil
of mortality and left little but bones lor the
sextons and worms. 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

Trout Pish Living in a Wkll Twen
ty-Five \e»us— -Mr. F. lloyi, a corres
pondent of the Country Gentleman, writing
from South-Las,, New York, November
19h, savs:
“Can nnv one tell how torn: a trout fish
will live’—Twenty-five years the past sum
mer I came on the fatm where 1 now am.—
Almost the first work thin I did after gelling
in my spring erops, was to dram a hoe
swamp, Hie outlet of which leads into ihe
Croton river. 1 had an old Scotchman to do
the ditching. 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. (ikes; albeit, gif he
refuses to lake hir to be bis wif, he shall be
mulcted in ye s(im of ane pundis( 1£) or
less as his estail moi be, except and gif he o m
make it appear that he is beirothit to ane ilher
woman, that he shall thbo be free.”
Hurra for the Sco'ch of six centuries ago,
and—“woman’s rights!”—'Reading Journal.
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

Dn. Roiiinson was asked by Gov. Shan,

“Well,” said the doctor, “ I would propose a
compromise—keep the rifles and give them
the con'ems.”
