- Capt. Samuel Brady and Cornplanter.
Many of the wild legends of border Btrife
and Indian barbarity that have been enacted
along the shores' of the Allghen and Ohio,
have never been rescued from the dim and fa
ding remembrance of past ge. But occa
sionally a story of thrilling interest is snatch
ed from the lingering reccrds of the red' man.
" The story I am about' to" relate, I received
from an old Indian pilot of the Allegheny.
It " was many'ears fcjjo'whei 'thaV'stera old
chief Cornplanter, (whose remains now repose
in silence and loneliness on the banks of : that
beautioua river he loved so well,) was in bis
glory.1 1 Ilia tribe roamed over "the dense and.
unbroken forests along Us baksfearless.'ttn
molested; and free. ' r ' " , n-J--"
His people were hostile to the whites and
never lost any opportunity to lie in ambush
and seize the lonely voyager as he descended
the riyer, and confine'Junl to the stake and tho
torture'.'- But the "watc'eful", shrewd an'4' dead
ly foe of Cornplanter and tha whole twany
race," was the indomitable and fearless Capt.
Samuel. Brady. This .veteran -pioneer and
Indian : hunter was one' Oftltbse noble speci
mens of the hardy foresters who plunged fear
lessly into the jn terminable forests that then
overspread so large a portionof the we's'tern
States. : " s: ' :". i
Like Darnel Boon, Lewis. Weizell, Siriion
Kenton and others, who made Indian hunting
a pastime,, bis. deadly -hate of the Iad'aacnd
his burning ;r passion for hunting ' Ehiu' dSw'd,
amounted.to-a. monomania.-' This hatred was
in consequence of the wrongs they had inflic
ted upon bis family his father, Capt. John
Brady, and his brother having1 fullu vicjinu
to the tomahawk and scalping knife. '.

into the river, and'ahHrorth'e jother shore.

and then rising to the surface, be escaped unhurt,--
and reached the ' other shore in safety,

The prisoners were" of course eJtonnd, and
all joined in the jollification abd"jby at the

that enielOed'Cornjlanter from Brady's bullets

The tall '"old forest has receded from before
the advance of civilization, and given place to

Indian, too, has passed away : but a few, and
they but miserable, decaying relics of what
they once were., are now occasionally seen,

Sji-rJ'. N". jCnlcr, a correspondent of the
Patent Office, speaking" of the preservation of
potatoes for seed, says the potato, .' when first
obtained from its native - mountains, was a
small, watery1, a'nd even bitter1 tuber, but by
cultivation it has been brought - into so high
and refined a state that most of the countries
of the" 'civilized globe look at it as one of the
most important articles of food. In ndwer to
the question by what means has ieen made
& piiif f article of food, he sSyiby violating
the laws 'of 'Nature"' Every one who has
ever noticed the difference between the flavor
of a potato in the fall, when first dug, and
one iu the spring which has been .fept'in a
large dry cellar, has observed" that Ihfe flavor
becomes much impaired: much more so than
those which arc buried in holes in the earth,
where they retail jieariy'all of their fresh
ness and vitality. It has also beea observed
that farmers vho have small and inconvenient
cellars kep their potatoes in better condition
than those Ah6; keep them iniarge cool ones.
