STORY OF FORT 3FISTosIi AND BRADY'S RUN About thirty miles below the present city of Pittsburgh, and where Beaver now stands, stood an ancient fort:known ns Port Mclntosh. It was built by a revolutionary general of that name, in the summer of 1778. It was one of the forts which was intended to guard the peo ple who lived south of the Ohio river, from the ineursions ; of the savages to the northward. This tort was oriW of the favorite resortsof the great Indian spy and hunter, Captain Samuel Brady, although his usual headquarters was Pittsburgh, then consisting of a rude fort and n score or two of rough frontier tenements.' Brady had emigrated westward or rather had marched thither in 1778,a lieutenant in the dis• tingnished Eighth Pennsylvania Regime nt, under the command of General Richard Brod head,of Easton. Whemin the spring of 1770, Mclntosh retired from command in the West', Brodhead succeeded bins and remained at Pitts burgh until 1781. Soon niter his advent to the West,Brady was breveted Captain. lle had served lathe siege of Boston, fought at Long Island. and White Plains, gone through the whole of the terrible campaign of Trenton and Princeton, suffered at Valley , Forge, , distinguished himself at Ger mantown and at Brandywine, and narrowly escaped death at Paoli. But his taste led him to the erratic mode of warfare known upon the frontier. Indeed, has early education upon the upper Susquehanna had inculcated and de veloped those tastes Irons the very earliest boy hood. Hating an Indian with that instinctive hatred,which is begotten in the bosom of the whit race by long years of contest and outrage, a bitter intensity was imparted to the meeting In this case by the murder of his father and youn ger brother by the Indians, tinder trying and terrible circumstances. Having premised this much by way of intro duction it brings us to the eventful morning in which Brady set cut from fort Mclntosh for Pittsburgh. Ile had with hint two of his trusty and well trained followers. These were not attached to tin' regular army, as he wa-4, but were scouts and spies, who had been with him upon many an expedition. They were Thomas Bevington and Benjamin Biggs. Brady resolved to follow the norlhern bank orthe Ohio. Biggs objected to this, upon the ground, that the woods were full of savages. Brady, however, had resolved to travel by the old Indian path, and having once made up his mind no consideration could deter hint from tarrying out his determination. Bevington had such implicit faith in likability to lead, that he never once thought of questioning his -will. Quite a discussion arose between Biggs and his captain at the mouth, of the Beaver river, about a mile above the fort: and where they must cross the Ohio if they didn't want to con tinue on the southern side. Biggs finally waived his objections and they crossed the Ohio and proceeded with the habitual caution of woodsmen who fully understand their busi ness. They had started early and by rapid . travel. lug they had reached, ere noon came, the piece of bottom land on the north side of the Hier, below •'the narrows." This is where Sewick ly now stands. Upon this bottom a pioneer more daring than most others had built a cabin and opened a small spot of cleared land. lie had planted in it corn, an: it gave promise of a most abundant harvest. lint as they ap' preached the edge of the clearing, just outside of the fence, Brady tUscovered " Indian signs' . as hl• called them. Ills companions discover ed them almost as quick as lie, and at once ill low tones commiluicated to each other the ot, a s cessity'itc. keen watch. They slo vly trailed along the side of, the fence [(mart\ the house, whose situation they all knew, until they stood upon the brow of the bluff which overlooked it, A sight of the moat terrible description met their eyes. The cabin lay a mass of smouldering ruins. from which a dull blue smoke arose iii .t lie clear Augnst sunshine. They observed everything around it. Brady knew it was enstomary for the Indians after they had tired a settler's cabin, if there wtis no immediate danger to retire to ,the 'woods close at hand, and Watch the ap proach of the family who might chance to be absent .when they made the descent. Not knowing but that they were even then lying close at hand, he left Bevington to watch the ruins, lying under cover whilst lie proceeded 'to the northward and Biggs southward to make discoveries. Both were to return to Beving ton if they found no Indians. If they came across the perpetrators, and they were too numerous to be attacked regularly, Brady de clared It to be his purpose to have one fire at them, and that should be the signal for both of his followers to make the best of their way to the fort. All this rapidly transpired, and with Brady to decide was to act. As he stole cautiously around the northern side of the enclosure lie heard a voice in the distance singing. Hells. toned keenly and soon discovered from Its intonations that it was a l white man's.. Ile passed rapidly In the direction from which the sound came. As it approached be concealed himself behind the trunk of a large tree. Pres ently n white man, riding a'llne horse, came slowly down the path. The form was that of Albert Gray, the stal wart, brave, devil-tnay•care settler, who had i built him a home many miles away from the fort, where no one else would have dared to. take a family but himself. Brady wore, as he almost always did, the j turned at last. Indian garb and had war paint on his face. I Be described to them how the women and Bo knew that if he showed himself upon the children lay within s center ofa crescent form. path Gray would shoot, taking him to be ea I ed by the savages as they slept. Their guns Indian. He therefore suffered Gray quietly to were stacked upon the right and most °flitch' approach his lurking place. When the time ltomahawks. They were not more than fff- came he sprang forward ere the settler could have time to prepare, drew his tomahawk and siezing him dragged him from his horse. As lie did so he whispered to Lim: "I am Captain Brady ; for God's saki be. quiet.'• Gray, with the instinctive feeling of one who knew there was danger, and with that vivid presence of mind which characterizes those acquainted with' frontier life, ceased at once to struggle. The horse had been startled by tile sudden onslaught, and sprang to one side. Ere he had time to leap forward Brady had caught him by the bridle. His loud snorting threatened to arouse any one who was near. The Captain soon soothed the frightened ani mal into quiet. Gray now tumidly asked Brady what the danger was. The strong, vigorous spy turned away his face unable to answer him. The settler's excited fears were turned into realities. The manly form shook like an aspen leaf, while tears of emotion fell as large drops of water over his bronzed face. Brady permitted the' indulgence for a moment, whilst he led the horse into a thicket close at hand and tied him. When he returned Gray had sunk to the ground, and a great tremulous convulsion writhed over him. Brady quietly touched him and said : " ( onie Gray at once arose and had gone but a few yards until every trace of emotion had appar ently vanished. Ile was no longer the be reaved husband and father, but he was the sturdy, well-trained hunter, whose ear and eye*were acutely alive to every sight or sound, the waving of a leaf or the crackling of the smallest I wig. lle desired to proceed directly towards the house, but Brady objected to tlds,"and they passed down toward the riverbank. As they proceeded they saw from the mocassin priutß and tracks of horses upon the place where the earth was moist, that the party was quite a numerous one. Atter thoroughly examining every cover and possible place of concealment, they passed on to the southward, end came back In that direction to the spot where Be vington stood sentry. When they reached hint they found that Biggs had not returned. In a few minutes lie came and reported that the trail was large and broad ; the Indians had taken no pains to conceal their tracks—they simply had struck ' hack into the country so as to avoid coining in contact with the spies whom they supposed to be lingering along the river. The whole four now went down to the cabin and carefully examined the ruins. After a 'lung and minute search, Brady discovered that none of the inmates had been consumed. This announcement at once dispelled the most har rowing fears of Gray. As soon as all that could be discovered had been ascertained, each one of the party proposed some course of action. One desired to go to Pittsburgh and obtain assistance—another thought it best to return to Mclntosh and get some volunteers there. Brady listened patiently to both these Propositions, but arose quickly, and alter talk ing a moment apart with Biggs, he said : " Come." Phoebe Cary Gray and Bevington obeyed at once, nor did Biggs object. Brady struck the trail and be gan pursuit in that tremendously rapid manner for wide') he was so thmous. It was evident that if the savageS were overtaken it could only be done by the utmost exertion. They were some hours ahead, and from the number of their horses must be nearly all mounted. Brady felt that if they were not overtaken that night tho 'tumuli would he utterly futile. It was evident that the band had been south of the Ohio and plundered the homes of the settlers. They had pounced upon the family • of Gray upon their return. IVlien the pursuit began, it must have been two o'clock. At least two hours had been consumed by the spies in making the necessa ry explorations about the house ere they ap proached it and in examining the ruins. Not a word was spoken upon the route by any one. Their leader kept steadily in advance. Occa sionally lie would diverge front the track but only to take it up a mile or so in advance. The Captain's intimate knowledge of the to pography of tina country enabled him to anti cipate what points they would make. Titus he gained rapidly upon them by • proceeding more nearly in a straight line towards the point at which they aimed to cross this Beaver river. At last convinced l'rom the general direction in which the trail led, that he could divine with absolute certainty the spot where they would ford-that stream, lie abandoned it and struck boldly across the country. The 'accu racy of his judgment was vindicated by the fact, that from an elevated crest of a long liiie of hills, he saw the Indians, with their victims just disappearing up a ravine on the opposite side of Beaver, above what is now known as the •' Alnm Rocks" and below Beaver Valls, (Old Brighton). Be counted as they slowly filed their way lip its ascent under the rays of the declining situ. There were thir teen warriors, eight of whom wore mounted —another wentan, besides Gray's wife, was, in the cavalcade, and the children. The odds seemedfearful to Biggs and Bev ington.; although Brady made uo comments. 'File moment they had passed out of sight Brady again pushed forward with unflagging energy, nor did his followers hesitate. There was not a man among them whose =lades Were not tense and rigidns whip-cord, froth the exercise and training, from hardship and exposure. Gray's whole form seemed to di late twice its natural size at the sight of his wife and children. Terrible was the ven geance he swore. • .. Just as the sun set the spies crossed, the stream and began to ascend the ravine. It was evident that the. Indians intended to camp for the night some distance up a small creek or run which debouches into Beaver river abMit two miles from the location of fort Mc- Intosh and two below the ravine. The spot, (twill); to the peninsular form of the tongue of land lying west of the Beaver, tit :which they expected to encamp. was full ten miles from the fort. Here there was a famous spring so deftly and cunningly situated in n deep dell and so densely enclosed with thick mountain pinel that there was little danger of discovery: Even they might light a fire and could not be seen one hundred yards. film proceedings of their leader, which would have been totally inexpllceble to all others, were partially if not fully understood by his followers. At least they did not hesitate or question film. When dark came Brady pushed forward with as much apparent cer tainty us he had done during the day. So rapid was the progress that the Indians had just kindled their fire and cooked their meal when their mortal foe, whose presence they dreaded as much as that of the small pox, stood ripen a huge rock looking down upon them. His party had been left a short distance in the rear at. a convenient spot while he went torwardlo reconnoitre. There they remained impatiently for three mortal hours. They discussed in low tones the extreme disparity. of the force, the propriety of going to Mcln tosh for assistance. But all agreed that if Brady ordered them to attack, success was certain. However impatient they were Ile re- teen feet from them. He had crawled within fifty feet of them when the snorting of ' the horses, occasioned by the approach of wild beasts, had aroused a number of the savages from their light slumbers and he had been compelled to lie quiet for more than an hour for them to sleep again. Be said be meant to attack them, but must depend solely upon the knifo and tomahawk. Be was to begin the slaughter on the right, Gray on the left, Bovington in the centre and Biggs should secure the enemy's arms. The difficult and hazardous approach began. They arrived within a hundred yards of the savages, and then lay down to creep serpent like into their dreadful circle. Just within it. Biggs cracked a twig and a huge savage, less asleep than his brethren, who lay within reach of Gray's tomahawk, slowly sat up as if star. tied into this posture by the sound. After: rolling his eyes he again laid down and all was still. Full fifteen minutes passed ere Biggs moved, then he slowly went on. When he reached his place, a very slow, hissing sound indicat ed thin he was ready. Brady in turn reitera ted the sound as a signal to Gray and Beving ton to begin. This they did in the most de liberate manner. No nervousness •was per missible then. They slowly felt for the heart of each savage they were to stab, and then plunged their knife. The tomahawk was not to be used unless the knife proved ineMcient. Not a sound broke the stillness of the night as they cautiously felt and stabbed, unless it might be that one who was feeling would hear the stroke of the other's knife and the groan of the victim whom the other had slain. One of them had not beets killed outright by the slab of Gray. He sprang to his feet, but as lie rose to shout the war cry, the tomahawk finished what the knife had begun, He stagger ed and fell heavily forward on one who had not yet been reached. He started up, but Brady was too quick, his knife reached his heart and ie tomahawk his brain almost at the same MIMI til were slain by the three spies, except one He started to flee, but a rifle shot by Higgs rang merrily out ou the night Mr and closed la career. The women and children alarmed by the contest, fled wildly to the woods ; but when all had grown still and they were called they returned, recognizing amid their fright the tones of their own people. 'The whole party took up their march for Mclntosh at once. About sunrise the next morning the sentries of the fort were surprised to see the cavalcade of horses, men, women, and chil dren, approaching the fort. When they re cognized Brady they at once admitted him and the whole party. In the relation of the circumstances after wards, Bevington claimed to have killed three, and Gray three. Thus Brady, who claimed nothing, must have slain at least six, whilst the other two slew as many. The thirteenth Biggs shot. From that hour to this, the spring is called the "Bloody Spring," anti the small run is called "Brady's Run" Few, even of the most curious of the people living in the neighbor hood, knew aught of the circumstances which conferred these names—names which will be preserved by tradition forever. Thus ended one of the most bloody hand to band fights which the great spy had with the savages. His history is fuller of daring incidents, sanguina ry, close, hard contests, perilous explorations and adventurous escapes, than that of either Wetzel, or Boone, or Kenton. He saw more service than either of them, and his name was known as n by-word of terror among the In dian tribes from the Susquehanna to Lake Michigan. I ID D lITTNS ANT) WA [KS ==! Under the title of "Odd Buns and Walks," a writer in Dickens's All the Year Round gives a pleasant historical account of curious matches. De says : "Of course many crack runners have made a noise And obtained fame; alike independent of the footman world and the sporting world. There was the Shored itch tradesman, neither young nor slim, who in 1750 ran from the church in that street to Ed monton, eight miles, in fifty minutes. There was the shepherd who, in 17114, ran on Mous ley Hurst fifteen miles in eighty-eight min utes—at the rate of full ten miles an hour. Of course these achievements have been beaten by the professional racers, concerning whom it is not the purpose of the present article to speak. There was once a race between two men, one of whom was unfairly interrupted by an emissary of the other : he knocked the ras cal down, fell over him, picked himself up again,. and won the race. There was a run- ring match between a lady and a gentleman round the Steyne at Brighton, in 1825: the gentleman ran well. but the lady ran better, and site won. "One Captain tato made a curious match at Brighton in 1803. He undertook to carry on his back or shoulders a stalwart grenadier of eighteen stone, and to run against a pony car rying a feather ; but the grenadier pitched over the head of his bearer, and nearly brought both to ruin. The captain was Lo hue run fifty yards against the pony's hundred and lle then challenged a noble lord, to a contest, in which Otto should carry his grena dier fifty yards, while the lord carried a feather a hundred ; but the captain was vanquished. Did 'feather' mean feather-weight or light weight rider, in the sporting phraseology of sixty or seventy years ago. Then there was the bishop Who, in 1751, trundled a coach wheel front the Bishop's Head, in the Old Bailey, to the eleventh milestone at Barnet, and back again, in three hours fifty-one min utes. Ile won fifty pounds by achieving this curious feat in less than four hours. "Nor is there any deficiency of walking achievements, irrespective of those by profes sional pedestrians, and sometimes marked by singular conditions. There was the attorney's clerk who, In 1773, took a walk from London' to York and back, and accomplished the whole four hundred miles between Monday morning and Saturday evening in one week. There was the Gloucestershire militiaman, about the same period, who walked from London to Bristol In a little less than twenty hours—so at least said the newspapers of the period. It would be interesting to know whether the " Young Irish Gentleman" performed the task on which a wager was laid in 1788, of "Walk ing from London to Constantinople and back within a year." We have no record of the result; but it may be presumed that he did not emulate the feat of walking on the sea, attributed by a lyrical authority to Teddy Mc- Gee; by which he wore his legs . down to the knee. Among the odd walks which odd peo ple have taken may be mentioned that of plaiting up steacs placed a yard apart, and carrying, them singly to a basket : a walk or a run, this, according to conditions. Then thereis the formidable task of walking a thou sand Miles in a thousand successive hours, first Perfermed by Captain Barclay ; since outdone by a walk of a thousand quarter-miles In, a thousand successive quarter-hours—a much; more wearing and exhausting achievement, seeing that the runner must not rest or sleep so long as half an hour at any one time. This foolish, health-ruining work was once at tempted, be it observed, bk. a woman. "From men on foot to men on horseback the transition is natural.

Cardinal Wolacy won his first promotion in life by a quick journey. When chaplain to Henry the Seventh, ho was sent from London on a special mission to the Emperor Maximil ian in the Netherlands; he did the journey there and back.in a little over two days, in cluding the very slow and tedious aea.passage between Dover and Calais. When Robert Carey was sent from London to Edinburgh, to announce to King James the death of Queen Elizabeth, he performed the journey of four hundred miles in the daylight of three days. Stow relates that one Bernard Calvert went in 1021 from London to Calais, and back, in seventeen hours ; doing the land journey on horseback, and the channel voyage in a barge I—by which was probably meant a heavy sailing-boat. In 1745, an innkeeper named Thornhill rode from Stilton in Hunt ingdonshire to London, accomplishing the whole two hundred and thirteen miles in twelve hours seventeen minutes : of course, with a good relay of horses. This was really a wonderful achievement, if the accounts are reliable. Dick Turpin's ride we all know about; and let us never forgot the Immortal ride of Johnny Gilpin, of the verity of which we seem as certain as of anything in story. Of the doings on race courses, we need only mention those in which ladies have been concerned. At the Ripon races in 1725, we find that the ladies' plate was ridden for by women, in three heats and a final struggle. But the most notable lady in this class of achievements was probably Mrs. Thornton, the wife of Colonel Thornton. The colonel challenged Mr. Flint, in 1804, that Mrs. Thornton mould contest a race with him on York race-course for five hundred guineas a side. The bet was accepted, and the race took place ; the colonel leading the lady's horse to the starting-place. Mrs. Thornton took end'kept the lead for the first three miles, when her horse failed and her competitor won. She afterwards wrote to one of the newspapers, complaining that Mr. Flint's demeanor to her on the occasion had hardly been that of a gentleman. A 'turf row' sprang out of this event. Mr. Flint as serted that Colonel Thornton shirked payment of the lost bet ; the colonel equivocated ; Mr- Flint publicly horsewhipped him ; and as the Jockey Club first, and the Court of King's Bench afterwards, refused to give him redress, we may safely infer that there was something wrong about Colonel Thornton. His eques trian wife, however, did not relinquish her fondness for achievements in the saddle. She rode a race against Buckle, the Newmarket jockey. Mrs. Thornton appeared on the race.. course, attired in purple cap and jacket, nan keen skirt, purple shoes and embroidered stockings. She was mounted on her mare Louisa.' She rode nine stone six pounds, against Buckle's thirteen stone six, and won by half a head. "Of regular horse-races and race-horseir there is, of course, much to tall ; but we have naught to do with them bore. There is, for instance, all about the famous horse Eclipse, who could cover twenty-five feet with one stride, and make seven such strides in three seconds ; his unprecedent success as a racer was found to be due mainly to his magnifi cent heart (corporeal, not poetical), which weighed thirteen pounds. Unfortunately, horse-racing lends itself with ruinous facility, to chicanery. • " Once, now and then, there have been quadrupedal races planned in which animals of a non : racing kind competed. Such a race is described in Parkee's London. News, In the time of George the First. At Northampton, in a holiday season, two bulls, five cows, and a calf were started to run a race ; the adult animals being ridden by men, the calf by a boy. Four of the jockeys came to misfortune;. the three cows all threw their riders ; the calf tumbled down with his ; and one of the bulls won the race, without at all appreciating the fame which he gained thereby. Not many years ago, a race was planned in Lancashire between an elephant, a( pony and a man ; whether it came off we do not know ; but It led to a discussion as to the ability of an ele phant to run, in the usual sense in which run ning is understood ; it was agreed that he can shuffle along at the pace of a man at good running speed, but not for a long time alto ' gether. The ostrich is a runner of amazing swiftness, almost distancing - the greyhound and the fleetest Arabian courser. And was there not a famous naturalist who mounted a cayman (Sr alligator In the swamps of South . America ? And did not the alligator feel very much astonished at having to run or walk wills such an unprecedented burden on his back ? And would we not rather see it done than do it ? "Among driving achievements was the fa mous one by the Earl of March in 1750, He undertook to provide a four-wheel carriage that would be driven- nineteen miles in one hour by one single team of four horses. It was a four wheeler, but one of marvelously light construc tion. Wire and cords were used w4erever practicable, instead of heavier materials; the harness was of tine leather covered with silk, the seat for the driver (no other 'faro') was of leather straps covered with velvet; every wiled had a tin box which dripped down oil unintet• ruptedly; the brcechings for the horses were of whalebone; the wood work was as light as possible, but in all critical parts strengthened, with well tempered steel. In short the whole machine wasp) iight that ono man could car ry it, together with the harness. • The earl sat on the hinder part of the carriage, but four postillions virtually drove the horses. Many vehicles were made and abandoned, and runny horses killed, before the real event came ofl". lie achieved the task, doing nineteen miles in ample time for another mile within tile hour." Tor: Boston Advertiser says that sevora years ago, at an auction sale of books in that city, it was discovered that the first two volumes of a set of VALI'Y'S Shakeepeure, which had been on exhibition, were missing. At the next sale it was found that of the set of VALPY on the catalogue the third and fourth yolumes were gone. This theft was repeated, and each set which came into the suction room was dimin ished by two.volumes. At last, when all but two volumes had been taken, the auctioneer privately marked these two, and awaited events. The thief completed his set. Some years afterwards the library of "a gentieniati of this city lately deceased" was brought under the hammer, and the auctioneer bad the pleas ure of selling a complete stolen set of VALVY; A CONTEST between two rival blacksmiths of Omaha, Nebraska, named R. 31, Stratton and Andrew ➢caning, took place on the 25th ult. The match was for $5O a side, the stakes to be awarded to the man who could turn off ono hundred horse-shoes, completely made, with the exception of the corks, in the smallest space of time and with the best show "of workmanship.
