MMInSEMIII. - THE HUNTER'S REWAR,D. In the Spring of 1790, two young men, George Dill and Peter Brown, both carpen tert, launched a small boat on the Mononga hela, and having supplied themselves with an ample stock of provisions and ammunition, dropped down the river on an exploring and bunting expedition. They proceeded unmo lested down the Ohio several habdred miles below 'Wheeling, where they landed on the Kentucky side and erected a cabin of poles, which they covered with small branches and moss. It was situated a short dietane° from the.river's bank near a good spring, among tall and heavy timber. After storing their effects, which colaisted of cooking utensils, a few mechanical implements, several blankets and some wearing apparel, into the cabin. they shouldered their rifles, and accompanied by two trusty dogs, betook themselves to the woods. Being aware that this section of country was sometimes visited by hands of hoetile In dians, either to kill game or attack boats as cending the river. the young hunters kept a sharp look out, lest they should be surprised by a superior force. Game was abundant, and they bad the good fortune to kill several deer during their first excursion. After three days absence they returned, laden with skins and meat, to their but, and found the premises undisturbed. By ascending a small "knoll in the vicinity, of their moss covered cabin, they had admix view of the river, and could ;see any boats that might be passing, while the high grass and underbrush affhrded them a hiding-place, where they could conceal themselves from observation. A month had passed, and neither friend nor foe had appeared, and the hunters con tinued their excursions and penetrated fur ther into the interior, where they found a beautiful country with rich soil and fine streams. On one oecasion they had been ab sent ten days, andon returning to their cabin again. found everything in the condition in which they had left it. - They now began to congratulate themselves upon their peaceful and undisturbed occupancy of the country. Their dogs however appeared much exeiteJ. and kept moving-about for some time, as if seentidg something unusual, but at length entered the cabin and composed themselvea. Dill supposed that some wild animal had re cently passed along, but Brown was strongly impressed with the belief that their babiur , Lion was discovered. Before starting on tbilir next trip, Brown so arranged some of this ar tides in the cabin, without mentioning it to Dill, that the slightest touch would change their position sufficiently for him to detect it. The weather had now become warm, and af ter being out several days, Brown proposed that they should return to the cabin. Dill remonstrated fur some time, but eventually as sented, end they agreed to start on their re turn trip early the next grinning, so as to avoid the heat of the day, as they had some eight or ten miles to trave.k. About a quarter of a miff 'inland from the cabin, in a smell open space, our adventurers had planted a few bills of corn and squashes, which soon came up, but received no further attention. In returning that morning, they digressed a little from their direct course tor the pur pose oflooking at their " truck patch." Im mediately after they arrived there, their dogs exhibited unmistakeable signs of alarm- Brown observed it, and immediately com municated his euspicK.ns to his comrade that all was not right- After some consultation it was agreed that Dill should conceal himself in the underbrush and keep one of the dogs with him, while Brown would take the other and advance towards the cabin. When with in thirty rods of the cabin, and after recon noitering the vicinity, he motioned to Dill to come on, and the two, with their rifles at a trail and their dogs at their heels, approach ed the cabin together. In glancing over the effects of the cabin• Brown discovered that somebody had been there daring their al,- acsnoe, which vindicated his suspicions, and ogiaion, accounted for the strange eon duct of the dogs. on the former, as well as on the' present occasion. The ground around the hat wee examined for footsteps, but none amid be discovered. Dill then went to ex amine their boat, which they had run into the mouth of a creek a short distance below, and sec:ailed there—it was safe and had not been disturbed.

Brown addre••ed her kindly, and she awaited his approach, not speaking a word until he was within a few juirdl of her, when she t•_ld him in a few words that she had been a captive among the Indians fruum whom she had ,lust escaped, and with tears in her eyes asked hie nid and protection. Dill then left hie place of concealment with both rifles on his shoulder, and went to the cabin. The three then sat down on a log to gether, and the female related her story, which was listened to with great interest by both of the hunters. She was the daughter of a wealthy planter in Virginia, and bad been taken captive the preceding fall, and carried first to Chilicothe, and afterwards to Sanditsky, where she was adopted into the family of an Indian, who had two sons and two daeghters, who gener ally treated her kindly. Several weeks prior to her escape, this family had come to the Ohio river in search of game and plunder, are had encamped several miles above, where the men constructed a light canoe and cross ed to the Kentucky side, leaving the women alone at the camp. After their return in the evening she gath ered from dui: eonvereetion :hat there were white men am far off. - They crossed over the river a se mad time, and on coming into camp the second evening, held a council about some matter apparently of great importance to themselves. The nest morning the men started early in the direction of Chilioothe, charging the women to remain about the camp until tbeir return, and it was her opin ion that they had gone fur re-infurcements to attack the white men whom they bad discov ered. - During theig, absence sbe formed the resolution of attempting to escape, and man aged to separate herself from her companions, and jumped into the canoe the men had con structed, and rowing for life won reached the Kentucky shore. After wandering about for three days, she discovered the hunter hut, and then withdrew, resolved to watch for its owners, and if they were friends, as she doubted not they would 'prove to be, to cast herself upon their protection. Her name sheen.. as Sallie Green, the only daughter of Richard Green, of Virginia. • The bunters had a pretty good supply of wearing apparel left. from which Sallie was directed to *elect suoh articles as were most suitable, and make them into a dress for her self, which she promptly did; and the next day had herself decently clod. Being bare foot, Dill presented her with a pair of shoes and socks, which though much too large for her feet, became of use to her afterward.. _ . What was now to be done? It was quite manifest that the party's situation e►as an wife. The Indians had discovered them, and would undoubtedly attack them before many days. The warm sun had opened the seams of the h"at, and it was leaky and unfit for use. The river was at a low ebb, and it was not likely that any boat would descend the river on which they might secure a passage to some of the settlements below. After full deliberation it ems resolved to attempt escape from their perilous' situation by land, and endeavor to reach the border settlements of Virginia. They would be obliged to leave their few implements and stock of skins be hind—but what were these compared with their own lives, which Rould be jeopardised by remaining longer? A little stock of meal still remained, and they had a sufficient supply of jerked venison to "hurt them doting •their journey, and a pocket compass by which to direct their course. The remainder of the day was spent in arranging their packs, and on the follow ing nOrning they were to take up their line or march for Virginia, through an unbroken wilderness. Who ran teU whet to-morrow may bring forth I iVhilat these Drepenations wore going on at the cabin, the old Indian and his sons, with others whom they had met on the way to Chilitothe, retnrned to the camp, and on the . ...learning the esempe of the "pale face F q sivr " immediately went to work and eon etruotal a email raft, on which they crossed the river in the night and proceeded towards the cabin. Just em it became clear enough to discern objects, the dogs grew very restless and set up a low growl.. Sallie expressed her belief that Indians were lurking about.— Brown and Dill seised their rifles and placed themselves immediately -outside the entrance of the cabin, ready fur emergencies. ,Pres ently two Indians were seen s.pproaching with stealthy steps. They were suffered to come within realize of rifle-shat, and then both hunters fired and .both Indians, fell. Tbree others who had stand concealed behind some large trees, now rushed forward over the dead bodies of their comrades, and before the hunters had time to re-load, they were withia a few rods of the cabin. brandishing their tomahawks and yelling as they are wont to do when making an ritlaek, Brown and Dill prepared to meet them, the former with a hatchet and the latter with the but of his rifle, whilst Sallie was cooly re-loading the other rifle. The Indians paused fur a mo ment in the face of such a foe, and in another moment a ball from the rifle in the hands of the maiden laid one of them sprawling on the ground. The hunters sow sallied out., and averting the blows aimed by the Indians with their tomahawks each grappled his man. For a time the contest was doubtful, but at !ant the hunters got the better of their adversaries, and held them firmly to the ground, where with Sallie's aid, they were securely bound with deer-skin strap!. Dill kept watch over the prisoners, while Brown went forth to re connoitre. Seeing the °out clear.he quickly returned, and at the girl's suggestion, the prisoners with their arms pinioned, were led to the ricer and placed on their own raft, which was then pushed into the current and with its live freight set adrift. , Before the hunters had got fairly adrift, they were greeted with a volley from the rifles of four Indians, who it is supposed, had been lying somewhere in the vicinity, watch ing for the passing boat, and were attracted to the spot by the firing of the conitetants. Dill was shut dead, but Brown escaped un harmed, and ran in the direction.ofthe cabin. Three of the savages followed the raft to save their brethren, while the fourth, a tall ath eltie fellow, gave abase to Brown.

The day was tar spent—but the moon rising in the evening, gave sufficient light to enable them to proceed through the woods. They travelled after daylight. They stopped a few momenta at a P 4 pring and re freshed themselves with a little venison and a few draughts of fresh water, and then again pressed forward, and continued with but little abatement, during that day and the following night. Finding they were not pursued, they now travelled more leisurely. After enduring hunger and fatigue, on the tenth day they reached one of the border eettleMents of Virginia, where they procured horses and a guide, and in three days after arrived at the house of Mr. Green. The meeting between Sallie and her parents Can be better imagined than described. The hunter remained with Mr. Green fora season, and then engaged in the erection of a handsome dwelling for himself on a neighbor ing. plantation, which he had purchased.— About the time of its completion, they bad a merry time one day at the house of Mr. Green—it was the day on which Peter Brown and Sallie Green were married.

When he attempted to pass them they were found to be counterfeit, and the carpenter was arrested ; the horse dealer swore be paid him in Indians bins, and the man was sentenced to the Penitenti ary. His .wife, failing to obtain a pardon , followed the horse dmder fur two and a half years, seeking evidence that he. not her hus band, was the counterfeiter. At 'length her efforts were rewarded. At Newton, recently. he was taken sick. The wife told her story to the physician, who dosed his patient heav ily, and then told him he was about to die.— The sick man was frightened, sent for &min ister, and confessed that be was connected with a gang of counterfeiters, and had paid the bad bills to the carpenter. Furnished with proofs of his confession. the wife retur ned to Missouri. secured thfkrelease of her husband,. and the couple are Tow raiding in Knoxville. Illinois." A Gay Spoilsman.—A good yarn was told us yesterday of a most faithful disciple of Isaac Walton, who is ever playing the rod and line, yet seldom meets with success in catching a mess throughout the season. He went fishing, the other day, to the mouth of Ca,nodaguinet, full bent upon capturing a mess of perch or salmon. Baiting with live frogs, he threw in the live bait and quietly sat down to await the re:4ult, dreaming of whole strings of Susquehanna beauties. Af ter a time his attention was attracted by the croaking of a frog on the bank by him, and he mentally congratulated himself upon the supply of french bait so near at hand.— Patiently he sat, and perseveringly watched his cork, occasionally casting a &lance at the fresh supply of bait, which once in awhile broke the munotomy by chanting one of those melancholy airs fur which his kind is rather remarkable. Noon arrived, yet he had not even received so much as an encouraging nib ble. But be is a patient man, and still per severed. As the evening began to draw to a close, he reluctantly came to the conclusion that the fish would not bite that day. The reason why became apparent when he lifted his line from the water His live frog hid swam ashore with the - book, and sat on the bank beside him all day, occasionally remin ding him of its presence by a guttural Harrisburg Patriot.

Many year. ago an a( tion of ejectment was on trial in our Court of Common Pleas to re cover possession of a tract of land on the eastern border of the county. It was a valu able tract, and the trial excited considerable interest. The defendant relied on twentYnone years' continued adverse possession, and call ed. as one of his witnesses, an old Dutchman —s genuine Hollander. lie was sworn, and defen‘lanee attorney,—Counaellor him to go on and tell the oourt and jury all he knew about the case.

Vell, I gees on"—and again he began at the beginning—" and I says, '1 rants you to make me a new wagon, and I rants him mit bows und side-box—and I vaata him mit a tail gate.'" - - By this time the judge was out of all patience, and, with rather strong emphasis, exclaimed : " Mr. Diedrich, we rill not tolerate this story any longer. What had this wagon to do with the case ? Unless you «mane Ispr self to the case, you must leave the stand." Mere Counsellor M. interposed. "Perhaps, if your Donor will permit the witness to go on his own way, it may save time in the end." " Well. I suppose we had better let hint go on," said thejudge.

Our correspondent 4•Quix," who has ample opportunities of knowing what is going on, gives us a circumstance which has got afloat, to the great chagrin of those interested. Ile says it appears that a hitherto well regulated family in that city, consisting of a man and his wife, two or. three young men boarders' and a servant girl, were thrown considerably off the track by a little incident which occur red a few nights since. One morning the servant girl, who, by the way. is very good looking, informed her mistress that she must leave her service. On being questioned as to the reason, she, after some hesitation, amid tears and sobs, confessed that her master was in the the habit of visiting her room at night, by crawling through a window previous to his appearance in his wife's apartment. The la dy, after some deliberation. informed the girl that she need not leave on that account, but in the evening she would change rooms with her, and read the offending husband a lecture on broken marriage vow*, that would be like ly to last him the remainder of hht natural existence. When the hour of retiring came, she placed the girl in her own bed and goog ly esconsed herself in the girl's; and when all was still, as she anticipated, the window was cautiously raised and the man entered the room, and quietly disrobing himself, got into bed and, after a while, as quietly arose and commenced dinning his attire.

We heard it one day while on a visit to the country. We went out to show some men how to 'pitch;" we had failed, and wilted down under a bayeock, and Jay flushed and fanning the glow and sweat from our features in a comfortable position, when one of the jolly hay makers related the nnecdote of the old man who was always bragging how folks used to work in his young days, and chal lenged his two sons together to pitch on a load of hay as fast as he could load it. The challenge was accepted, the hay wag on driven round, and the trial commenced.— For some time the old man held his own very creditably, calling out tauntingly, "More hay 1 more hay!" Thicker and taster it came, whole cocks at a time, cloud after cloud overwhelming him. The old man was nearly covered , still lie kept cr7ing, 0 More hay I more hay!" until struggling to keep on the top of the disorder. ed and ill-arranged heap, it began first to roll, then to slide, and at last off it went from the wagon and the old man with it. " What are you down here for f" cried tho boys. " I came down after hay," tuuwered the old man, stoutly. Which was a literal fact; be bad come down after the wagon load, which had to be pitched on again rather more deliberately. Old 'Squire of dddison coun ty.
