Death of Tecmnscli.
Hon. L. Bradish, Prest N. Y. Hist Society:
Washington, May 5, 1851.
Sin : Popular opinioruih the United States
has, . for. many years attributed' the killing of
Tecumseh to the late Colonel Richard M.
Johnson, of Kentucky. The brave men
whom that officer led in the attack of the In-
dians, fighting under the great Shawnee Cap-
tain, took a pleasure in permitting pubic ru-
mor to place the honor of this feat on the
brows of the commander. But the truth of
history requires shat the name bf the real
actor should now be told
By a letter which I havexecently;received
from Hon. Orlando Brown, late Chief of the.
Bureau of Indian Affairs, dated Frankfort,
15th April las't, it is shown that the veritable
actor was Jacob H. Holeman, of Kentucky,
a. private in Captain Stuger's 'company of
mounted volunteers. The event has thus
been detailed to me by Mr. Holeman.
Stuger had himself been a veteran Indian
fighter in the early wars of Kentucky, and and passion are supposed to reign with un
perceiving that the woods they approached wontet? force.

called yagers. They had no-swords.
Captain Stuger's company was one of those
dismounted, and entered the woods on foot
The Indians were so completely masked by
the foliage that the contest was one essential-,
ly of parsbnal combat, both parties seeding
the shelter of trees and coverts, and fighting
according to the Indian mode, in verv open
j r i t i i j . ,
order. Colonel Johnson led his men, and
was soon wounded in two" places, and carried
to the rear. Holeman and a companion were
sUindini? tofrether. when thev saw two In-
dians rush forward and in the act of firing.
They themselves both fired instantly and
killed their men. His companion was also
mortally wounded and fell. Holeman ran up
to the Indian he had shot and took a pistol of cu
rious workmanship out of his right hand,
-
which lay extended as if in the act of firing
when he fell, and, retaining it, carried it to
liis quarters after the close .of the action.
When the battle was terminated, it was
rumored that Tecumseh had, been slain.
General Harrison and some British officers
rode up to identify the body. Harrison re-
cognised the chief by a peculiar tooth, which
, , . , . . -
had turned blue, all the others retaining their
wnueness. noiemen menuonea uie circum-innrl
stance of taking the pistol from, that Indian's
hand. He went immediately to his camp and
brought it. The-British officer (whose name
, ,r, .... . J
m 1
he-did not know) decided that it was one of
a pair formerly belonging to general Brock,
which that officer had presented to Tecum
seh. Tecumseh was armed with a handsomely
made English fowling-piece, and evidently
had his arm extended in the act to fire when
the ball of his antagonist pierced him. His
j u 4. 1. j- u j c t.
dress could not be distinguished from the
other Indians except by its comparative clean-
iparative
ness.
These particulars were narrated to me in
the .War Office, a few days ago, by Mr. Hole-
man himself, in presence of Governor Ramsey,
of MinnesotaCaptain Eastman, U. S. A.,
Mr. Wise, chief clerk of the Indian bureau,
and several other gentlemen. We were im
pressed with the entire modesty of the nar
rator. Not a word was utterred in the vein
of boasting, or in depreciating the merits of
others, far less of his corn
mander, 'Colonel1
Johnson. He had in that action, three balls
pass through his clothes; namely,. one under
his arm and two through the skirts 0f his,
hunting-shirt He also received a bail in
his cartridge-box, in front, which was arrest, !
. fa '. ' 1
ed by a ball in one of his cartridges. He fited
sixteen balls in that action.
It affords me pleasure to add that Mr. 1
Holeman has been appointed Indian Agent'
for the Territory of Utah a mark of respect'1
due to his intelligence and worth.
Very respectfully,

Chemical Freezing Agents. In the hot
bed of wonders, the chemist's laboratory, the
degrees of cold are procurable by using
highly volatile liquids for evaporation. A
man may be frozen to death, simply by keep
ing himself drenched with ether. "By the
assistance of liquid sulphuric acid, water may
be frozen in a red hot vessel. But that re-
markable .substance, liquid carbuoic acid,
takes the highest rank of all' known freezing
agents. In drawing it from the powerful
reservoirs in which it is necessarily kept, it
evaporates so rapidly as to freeze itself, and
is then a light porous' mass, like snow. If
a small quantity of this is drenched with eth
er, the degree of cold produced is even more
intolerable to the touch than boiling water
a drop or two of the mixture producing blis
ters, just as if the skin had been burned.

The Mew Protection Against
Fire.
The following letter from an Amcri-
can in London, furnishes additional and
; interesting facts in relation to Phillips's
t "Eire Annihilator," which, if is what it
profeses to be, is undoubtehly a most
useful and wonderful discovery:
London, Friday, July 25, 1851.
The most extraordinary thing that I
! bave witnessed since I left America, is
! Phillps's Fire Annihilator. Passing up
j Cheapside a few days since, I saw streams
of flame pouring out of the three-story
windows of a Wholesale Cloth Establish-
raent, and the building and it3 contents,
seemed doomed to immediate destruc
tion. I was within a few rods of the
house, and as I approached the door, a
man rushed in with a Portable Fire
! Annihilator in his hand. It was not lar
ger than a common water-bucket,, and
weighed some 20 pounds. He ran into
tne third story, and within less time than
it has taken me to write these few lines,
every vestige of flame had been "anni
hilated" by the vapor which issued from
the miraculous little machnie. - For a
minute or two afterwards, the vapor wa&
seen issuing from the windows, 'then
all was over. The fire was extinguished!
I was so much astonished at the marvel
lous results of which I was an eye-witness,
that I hastened to discover and vis
it the inventor of this Fire Annihilator.
At his establishment I examined the ma
chine, and tried several experiments, each
of which sattsfied me that this is bdyorid
all question the most valuable discovery
of the age.
. The vapor contained in, this little ma
chine acts upon flame exactly as the damp
in a well actsupon alighted candle. Flame
cannot exist p.n instant in the vapor. The
vapor rushes; from the little machine with
as much force as steam flies from the ea-cape-pipe
of a steam-engine, and flame falls
before it as quick as the ligktuinS,o ah.
The effect is inconceivable, and the tri
umph over fire is marvelous beyond con
ception. A great and valuable addition
to the utility of this invention is that this a
vapor can te breathed without injury.
The consequence is, a man with one of
these little machines may protect himself
with the vapor and enter into the midst
of the fiercest flames with perfect impu
nity. They fall before him in an in
stant! Depend upon it, that sarcely a house
in America will be without one or more
of these machines within a year, and you
will see that the fire insurance offices and
fire engine companies will be numbered
among the things that were. " The amount
of property and human life, of toil and
trouble, that this little miracle will save,
is beyond computation.
Lachawaiia and Western' Kail-'
road.
This road extending from the village
of Scranton in the coal beds of Pennsyl
vania to the Erie railroad at Great Bendy
14 miles east of Bingham ton, a distance
of 51 jniles will be completed and opened
for busines during the ensuing month Qf
September. The company building this
road is the same that owns the Cayuga
& Susquehanna road, running from the
village of Ithaca at the head of Cayuga
Lake to the Erie railrnad at Owego.
They have made arrangements with the
Erie railroad company to run their trains
on the Erie road from the points of inter
section Owego and Great Bend 45
miles apart. They have their engines
already built, and a large number of car3
contracted to be in readiness when the.
Pennsylvania section is completed.
A line of railread will then be comple
ted and in operation from the c.oal beds
to the village of Ithaca at the head of
water communication with all parts ot
the State, which must be for some time
to come at least, a point of transhipment.
It is questionable whether the difference
in favor of canals over railroads in the
transport of heavy articles like coal, will
not overcome the expense of tranship
ment, and forever make the Cayuga
Lake channel the great thorouhgfare for
the transit of Pennsylvania coal to the
interior and Lake markets of the State.
The enterprising Company engaged in
opening this new route are building a
coal depot on a large and extensive scale
at the head of navigation in Ithica. They
are cutting a- canal paralled with the in
let to the Lake, so that a train of cars
can dump their coal directly into canal
boats, and the ordinary labor and expense
of transhipment be mostly saved. We
will receive coal in this city by way of
Ithica early in October at a much cheapo
or rate than ever before. The coal for
this market will of course come by the
Cayuga Lake, until the Syracuse and
Binghampton railroad is built. Osiccgo

Three Seventeen.
We heard a good story the other day,
of an ancient joker (now dead) who is the
father of a great brood of fast boys.
The old gentleman who was a rather
strict governor, though when outside ho
would occasionally "let up," drink, talk
horse, and go in for the chances. The
boys knew this boys generally do and
while they respected the "governor" on
account of his age, they positively objec
ted to his propensities for humbug. One
Sunday the governor was1 reading the
Bible, and when Ez, the oldest boy pro
cured a set of dice and having spotted
all the low sides so that he could not get
less than fifteen, commenced throwing
them on a chair. The governor came
to a hard word, looked irp and saw the
game. Then came the following conver
sation; Gov. Ez, youboy Ezirah! Do you
know what day it is!
J2z. Yes fifteen Sunday. ' Seven
teen. Gov. Well, then, you .go and put them
things away; throw them in the stove no
put them on the shelf. Get a book, sir,
and sit down -and read.
Ez, put the bones in his pocket, and
got a book; but somehow or other the
dice were again soon out.
iV.-ASeventeen! seventeen! I seven
teen !! ! ;
Gov. Springing, from his chair and
allowing theKBible to drop otf the floor.)
Wliat! not three seven teens' Good God -them
would havfion the lipss lait night!
