(Mich . .) Express, publishes the following and vouches for its authenticity. It is certainly a curious Story In different puts of contralliliehigan there are two tribal of Indians, the Otta was and Chippew:s9. They are friatidly to • 4ench other, and during the hunting sea son, frequently eneainp near each other.— In she Fall of 1853. a party of one tribe built their cabins on the banks of Maple river, and a party of the *other tribe, a bout eighty.itt number, encamped in what is now the town of Dallas. It is.unneces /wry to speak of their life in these °lmps— suffice it to say that - the days were spent in hunting, and tho nights in drinking "Are water" and carousing. In one of the rewls at the camp ott Maple ricer, au maddened 'by lignor, 'killed his squaw,and to conceal the deed, throw her I.ssly upon the tire. I.b . vovering from the stupor of the revel, be maw the signs of his, ~ guilt before him, 'and fearing the wrath of his tribe, he fled 'towards the other encampment. ab,:clice Wail noticed—the charred remains of the poor squaw were found, sod the city for blood was raised. The aven gers were soon upon his track—they pur sued him to the encampment of their neighbors—he was found, apprehended.' and iu solemn council condemned to the 4 , . sired' which, iu the sterit old Indian code, seserved for these only who shed the blood of their kin. It was a slow, torturing, -cruel death. A liateitet was put iu the victim's hands, he was led to a largo log that was hollow, and made to assist in fix icg for his coffin. This was done by 'cut ting into it some (bonne° on the top; in two places. about the length of a man a- part ; then slabbing off, and digging the I hollow until larger, so as to admit his bo dy. This done, he was taken back and tied fast to a tree. Then they smoked and drank of the "fire water," and when even ing came, they kindled large fires around loot. at sumac distance off, but so that they would shine full upon him. And now ,commenced the orgies—they drank to' in toxication—the,' danced and sang in their • wild Indian wanner, chanting the dirge •of the recreant brave. The arrow was fit-1 led todhe bow string. and ever and anon with its shrill twang it sent a missile into the quivering flesh of the homicide ; and to leigliten his misery they cut off hiseara and mese . • Alternately drinking,. dineing„, beating their rude drums, and shunting their arrows into the victim, the night 'was passed. .* . . • Thu nett day was spent in sleeping and eating, the victim meanwhile stilt bound to the tree. • What hisreflections weep we of courses:gm% tell, but •he . bore , his pun shment AA -a warrior should.

Then they put inv the-cover, drove down' stakes 'at each side of the log,. and filled 'up between them with logs and bush. The murdered :squaw was avenged.

NtITIMMT Yrt THE APPGIi....---The val. uis of the:apple i as an article of food, is far underated. Besides containing angar, mucilage and other nutriment matter, ap plea contain which' acids, aromatic quill. Wes, skit., which' are powerful in the ca pacity-of refrigerants, tonics and anticep. Om; sod when freely used at she season of mellow ripeness r they prevent debility, indigestion, and avert, without doubt, ma. ny of ihe "ills that flesh is air to." The operators of Cornwall, England, consider ripe apples nearly as nutritious as bread, and far more so than potatoes. In the year 1801—which was a year of much scarcity—apples instead of being conver ted into cider, were suld to the pour ; and the laborers asserted that they,conld "stand their work" on baked apples without meat, :whereas a potato diet required meat or biome ocher substantial nutriment. The French and Garman' use apples exten• aively. as do the inhabitants of all Euro. peen nations. The laborers depend upon them as an article of food; Ind frequently make a dinner of sliced apples and bread. There is no fruit cooked in as many dif ferent ways in our country ns the apple, nor is there any fruit whose value as an article of nutriment, is as great, and so lit tie appreciated.
