vs. Dun.—Some of the Irish
Judges of olden times were a little con
fused at times. One in giving his dictum
on certain cause "thought it very clear
that the testator intended to keep a fife in

frankly replied : "Very true, my lord, very
true; testators generally secure life inter
est to thernselvee, but in this case I think
your worship takes the will for the dead."

The Great Eastern is now controlled by
Liverpool merchants. The Journal of that
city says:
At Portland, without. any consumption
of coal, the small tax on visitors would re
alise six hundred dollars a day ; that at
Holyhead the same price of admission will
produce something like two thousand dol
lars a day ; that the sight of her gratifies
the public, and that sight-seers pay better
than passengers ; that, this being the case,
it would be absurd to sail her prematurely
for Li:aeries, or any other place.

A meichant became her aocepted lover—

Well, this gentleman had been reading
holOanother gentleman in a like pretlica
inenit,t who resided in Canandaigua, had—
by till shrewd dodge of pretending to go
c4ittrcii, and wen not doing it—got a
splendid chance to hammer a person who
had:invaded his marital rights, and he was
nerved to an ambition to do something
despertite. While he was in this
state df mind he received an anonymous
letter, land the man who would write an
annhymous letter on such a subject, would
norliwe the courage to look at his own
reflection in the looking-glass after dark.)
This letter warned him to be on his guard
against the felonious ingress of a gay
Lu
thario to his room about half-past 9 o'clock
at night—a time when he was generally
abainit, , He resolved to be around and
hare his eye open, and he did. I About
halt" past o'clock that evening, a good
looking "plicelfer - -we could gi‘e his
name, but we won't, though we may say
en Ixuscal that he is a perfectly honorable
ffi
ocer,was approached in haste by a young
chap, who asked him to go in a hurry to
the house of the gentleman above mention
ed, as be believed there were robbers in
the house : saying. also, that the gentle
man wanted him to get in at the back win
dow, which would be unfastend so as not
to alarm the rascals. Stealthily went the
officer ; quietly he clambered over the al
ley fence; hastily he ran across the yard ;
eagerly pushed up the back window ; un
thinkingly he thrust his head into the
opened window ; when—whack l came
something down upon the head, with a
shock that made his brain whirl, and un
numbeled stars promenade before his con
fused tisicm. The "ossifer" never doubted
that one of the burgl ars was just coming
out, and encoun teredhim ; but he never
knew what it was to experience fear—so
in hi) ,alambered , receiving two or three
more of those awful punches meanwhile.
Once in, he grasped the supposed burglar ;
around went his club, down went a jealous
husband.
By this time the affair had created a great
disturbance , the wife, who had been sew
ing up stairs. called a neighbor, who came
in stocking feet and shirt-sleeves, candle
in band, to see what was the matter. The
husband, confused by the blow on his head,
DO sooner saw the light, than he bound

that his brother had not arrived at the
house of the neighbor, nor had he been
heard of. Setrch was instantly set on foot.
Twee of his little feet were plainly dis

truck made by the logs which the neigh
bor had been drawing out of the woods. It
was evident from the footprints that little
Matthew had mistaken the path followed
the log track up into the woods. The
traces were followed up until they were
hid among the fallen leaves in the vicinity
of the Indian trail before spoken of. Filled
with alarm, William and his companion
retraced their steps and carried the news
to the bereaved family. Mr. Brayton was
lunged into a sea of grief and terror. The
neighborhood was raised, and as soon as
the news could reach the settlers three
counties and part of a fourth turned out as
one man. Every foot of ground was dili
gently search'ed, but in - vain. The Wyan
aots became interested, and young and
old started out in pursuit of the missing
child. Hours lengthened into days. and
days into weeks, but not the faintest trace
could be discovered. An old settler, still
alive, acted as storekeeper, and as each
party come in after an unsuccessful hunt,
he filled their meal bags and canteens, and
sent them off again.
Meantime the brave mother kept on
steadily at her household duties, her heart
racked with a thousand pangs of fear, and
her eyes turning ever to the window in
hopes to be gladdened with the sight of

agonizing hopes and tears, and then came
the settled oonviction that all hope was
lost. It was believed that a party of Pot
tawattornies, who passed through about
that time on the trail for Canada, had tak
en him with them. From time to time
came rumors that the boy had been seen
in this direction or in that, but speedy ex
amination proved all these rumors to be
without foundation. Onoe, about four
years after his loss, a man who had been
traveling among the Indian tribes of Illi-

age and appearance corresponded with
little Matthew. Mr. Brayton immediately

AIIOWO 11131 INDIANS
The events of "the first eight years of
young Brayton's captivity are only known
to him by the statements made to lam at
different time' by the various bands of In
dians, and their exact accuracy cannot
therefore be known. ' It appears that he
was carried off by the gottowattonie In
diana, and by them taken to Canada. It
was told him that after being kept some
time by this tribe he was sold, to the Paw-
Paws for about 'Ave gallons of whiskey,
who traded him Pff to the Winnebagoes for
1 ,
''gallon of iih - itey. With this gibe he
remained for so e time, and way
soon sold to the hippewaa, who soon trans
ferred him to t Sioux for eleven gallons
of whiskey. II re his fireedistinit recol
lections c3taine ce, twenty-six years ago,,
when he was "a ut a head shorter!' than
at the present time. Twenty-rd . years
ago last April e was sold in lo ato the
Snakes and CoPperhealls. This tribe he
accompanied in their migrations through
California and Oregon, until they were at
length crowded up into the far North-we s t.
Here the tribe to which he belonged had
been joined by portions of the. Crows,
Utahs, and Flat Heads, makings large ag
gregate, united under one general chief,
with a number of subordinate chiefs. That
portion of the tribe to which Matthew
more particularly belonged remained prin
cipally in the Mission territory, and they
paid frequent visits to Russian Forte on the
Colville River.
About eight years since their supply of
game during the winter ran low, and being
almost both starved and frozen out, the
portion of the tribe with which he was,
moved off in direction of the Hudson's Bay
trading posts. Here some of the trhders
marked his appearance, and sold him that
he was a "pale &oak.' The whites denumd
ed him, but the Indians absolutely refined
either to give him up freely or to allow him
to be ransomed. The tribe moved offfierni
the white settlements and kept away for
three years. During this time the princi
ple chief gave him his daughter in marriage
probably as an inducement for him to stay
with the tribe from choice. Of this union
two children ilirro ban born—a girl of five
years known es. flifroack ("Tame Deer,")
and a boy. Iwo lien old last Juno, named
Tuicaose. ~• • ,

dollars.
In September, ISIB, the annual treat
left the Russian territory_ for at. Paul and
with thesis came young Brayton. He had
borne interested in tracing out his lustO.
ry and had succeeded in,etting an account
of this first eight years of his captivity,
Yaitnilisrl4) that we have already given.—
lie was then exceedingly anxious to seek
out hu parents, and, after much solicita
tion, the present chief granted him the
requisite permission. On the 16th of April
this year he left St. Paul, accompanied
by his Indian brother-in-law, who tray, a
powerful chief, six Indian braves, three
ponies and five dogs. At tAlicago 114. was
taken sick and remained to he cured.—
The Indiana returned to St Paul after
arranging for his joining the next return
train in July, 11460.
During hissiekness his hair was cut short,
the paint scrubbed oft and he was dressed
us ordinary attire. On his recovery he was
permitted to go at large, and at once took
his way towards the south shore of Lake
Erie, from which location he suppohed that
he had been stolen.
On the 29th of Augivit, last, the " Indian
Captive" was brought to our office by some
persons to whom he applied for informa
tion. He told the story of his captivity.
as we have narrated it above, and said that
at Fremont he was told by a man who -cw
him there, that one Joseph Todd, who
formerly lived in Cleveland, had lost a boy
about the time the ''lndian Captive" sup
posed himself to have been stolen. 4 , n
this information he acted, and proceeded
to hunt up the Todds, but without success.
His story seemed to us very extraordinary,
but a close and rigid examination failed to
shake his testimony in thb least. His de
scription of Indian manners and customs,
and of the Geography of the far North
west, was perfectly accurate, as far as we
could learn. He spoke English tolerably
fluently, though with some peculiarities.
At times he would be lost for the proper
word, and would endeavor to illustrate his
meaning by °Wafts in the room. After
once hearing a word he never forgot it.—
He said that he could remember nothing
of his life before he was stolen, nor of the
first few years of his captivity. At first
we were inclined to doubt his story, but
were gradually convinced of its truth in
some, if not all, of the partioulers. Next
morning he came again, having in the
meantime sought out and conversed with
ThomasHalm, who had' sailed with Hams
in his Arctic Expeditions, and who was
finally oopvinoed of the truth of his nar
rative. ,The result of thesecond interview
was our publishing his story requesting in
formation, if any could be given, in regard
to the family of the wanderer, The story
was extensively copied throughout all part*
of the united States and Canada, and con
siderable interest was awakened, despite
the sneers of some people who thought
exert story a "humbug ' that did not ex
actly suit their ideas,

asking merely for information, and not
seeking to mike money by his story. On
close enquiry we discovered that he lived
on raw meat, and devoured things which
are generally considered to be disgusting.
His mode of living was also of a decided
Indian character, and utterly repugnant
to all civilised notione of comfort. After a
few days he found that the Todd family,
of which he was in search, had removed
to Warren Trumbull county, and thither
he went.
On arriving there he found that the per
he was after had most of them gone
to a camp meeting in the neighborhood,
and he immediately started to that spot.--

`camp weetiqs, and was tubes under the
care of the Rev. Williera Maxars, a - Mr

portions of his circuit. Whilst with this
person the "Indian Captive" "experienced

two, giving half to the Mr. 'Laxities. At
this time too he learned the Alphabet,
being utterly unable to read or write.
At the end of his wandering; he had
reached Warren county, North Pennsyl
vania, where he resided with Mr. Helntire.
Here he calculated on remaining a short
time, designing after that to make inqui
ries among the Chautauqua Indians, and if
no trace of his parents could be found, to
cross over to Canada, retainer during the
winter with the Canada Indians, and then
rejoin his tribe in the summer.
On the 26th of September, one month
after the first publication of the narrative,
we received a letter from Dr. Asa Brayton,
youngest son of Elijah Brayton previously
referred to, and who was born after the loss
of Mathew, stating that be had seen the
Herz to article copied into another paper
and giving some particulars of the loss of
his brother. About a week afterwards
Mr. Rufus Brayton, cousin of the lost boy.
called on us, and made some inquiries
relative to the "Indian Captive." He said
that the missing boy would resemble him
in color of hair, eyes, ke. As there was no
resemblance, we told Mr. Brayton so, and
he returned satisfied that this ended the
matter. But the 6ther members of the
'family moved by some unaccountable im
pulse, were not satisfied to let the matter
res\there, and in a few days the second
brother of the missing boy. Mr. Peter Bray
ton, called on us. He went to Warren,
lost all trace of the object of his search, and
went home discouraged.

er of New York State, just /wrote the Penne

where the "Captive" was staying, and took
him over to his house for a short stay.—

v-fcmtr y ears, or add the hitter pangs of chs

A light was brought. The agitated older
brother looked anzion•ly at the man, who
returnod his gaze with surprise not un
mixed with appreiwnsien. The features
and form of the -Indian" strengthenetl
his hope , . - at once resolved to at

afraid to trust his own oyes, William called
in a Doctor, who at ones pointed out the
scars, and showed that they were undoubt
edly caused by sharp instruments.
There could he no mistake about it now.
The brother—lost j,erhaps through the
thoughtlessness of Wm. Brayton when a
boy—was at lengt h de:eovered by his means
after thirty-four years of anxiety and suf

They passed through this city without
more Limn a tninutes delay, merely
leaving word for us in passing of the Suc
cessful result of the search. At Clyde,
where they changed cars for Carey, the
utrilost excitement reigned, and the throng
to see the returned Indian Captive was so
great that. he could searcoly find room.
An old man there came forward, ex
amined him closely, and declared - his be

the l'ottawattamie Indians in Illinois,
thirty years ago.
At every station on tie road home
crowds. athered, and,at Carey, where they
expected to stop, hundreds were collected.
Old men who bad searched for the lost

eldest brother entered with his charge the

arose, placed his trembling hand on the

scar: which he could scarcely see through
the mist that filled his eyes. Then he
knelt and examined the toot. For It
moment every breath was hushed and the
hearts of the other relatives almost ceased

Matthew Brayton is smart about 'fi
In. high, light complexion, haseleyetiiiindl
moderately dark hair. Like most of the
family, he is beardless. After his change
from Indien to civilized costume, he took
cold which settled in his eyes, and caused
a serious inflammation, necessitating his
now being under surgical, treatment.—
When we first met him, about - three months
ago, he spoke English tolerably well, and
now has unproved very much in his speech.
As long as we supposed him to have been
stolen at three years old his good English
was a difficulty in the way of believing his
story, but a -medical gentleman of great
experience in such matters informed us
shortly afterwards that he might be mis
taken in his age when stolen, for it is not.
uncommon for a child of six or seven years
of age among people of another language,
and when he hears it generally spoken
again to learn it as rapidly as if he had
never known another language ; in fact it
seems to come to him naturally, which is
exactly the process described by the "1 n
diail Captive," when he first explained it
to us.
On his breast he has some devices Ll
tooed by the tribe when they feared his
being rescued by the whites. Oa one thigh
he bears some large scars from a deep gash
inflicted by a tomahawk and stitched up
with buckskin strips and a large thorn.—
He has now but two Indian curiosities with
him. One is his pipe of solid flint, weigh
ing nine ounces, which he said it took him
a month to drill out with a piece of steel,
bear's oil and water. The other is an In
dian dog, sieni, of partly wolf breed. and
which is veq obedient to comma 2 ,, 13 given
him in Italian language. Matthew is much
attached to this dog, which once saved hi,
life. Ile generally sleeps on the floor ivith
his dog strapped by a bolt to his waist.
Matthew, at first, would oat nothing but
raw meat., and now cannot eat it if more
than just warmed. lie can eat nothing
that has salt in it. He speaks five differ
ent Indian languages, viz : snake, Copper
head, Crow, litith and Flat Head.
Beeides the marks on hot person, and
other means of identification, Matthew
Brayton has an unmistakeable resemblance
to the rest of the family. particularly to the
youngest brother. It is said that in some
parts of his countenance, he also strongly
resembles the deceased Mrs. Brayton.

THE UNITED TAIIILT.
We paid a visit to the scene of the toes and
the return!, and ,pent some hours with the
re-united family. It was a day never to be
forgotten. Every person seen after taking.
the Sandusky, Dayton & Cincinnati care
from Clyde, Was excited by the story. At
Adrian mid Carey it, was the general theme
of conversation. Old men from adjoining
counties had copse up to nee the returned
'one, and satisfy themselves. were con
vinced, and all wore excited. -We found
the Braytons to be farmers in easy cir
and muck respected by the
coin atil i r: -They were open-hearted* bistx
shrewd and thorough going people, of New
England extraction. It was a touching
sight to see the tamily together, and wit
nese the happiness, too deep for expres
sion, which reigned among the family.—
The aged patriarch, of seventy-three years,
could not coctain his delight. The eldest
brother, William, rejoiced in the thought
that it wits by Al 4 efforts that the missing
brother has been restored. The hearts of
the sisters, as one of them Said, - jumped
to him" at the first sight of the recovered
lost one. As they remarked, the whole
fatuity accepted their new positions at
once, and it appeared that the separation
of so many years was but a dream.
The remarkable youthful look of the
whole family struck us with surprise. All
of them looked at least ten years yourreer
than the actual tact.
It was Thanksgiving Day when we were
with that family. Ind what a Thanksgiv
ing Day for them'. There was a sad tho't
for the one whose presence would have
crowned the happiness of the day. There
was none to murmur, but all to unite the
old patriarch's realization of the text : "It
was meet that we should make merry and
be glad ; for this thy brother was dead.
and is :dive again ; and was lost. and is
found.''
SELLivt; THE T:%vr YE RS. —On Sunday night

been a source of annoyance to the Police,
was picked up by the officers of - the si x th
Precinct and conveyed to the Sitation
where be was locked up in a cell like any

officers thought they would make a little
fun out of "Billy's" capture. So they sent
word to a noted criminal lawyer at the
Tombs that a client, of his, named William
Goetz, had been arrested and was then
confined in a cell at the Sixth Precinct
