And when he did speak his language was well chc-sen. Blair had other qualifications which won the re.pt ct of the hrdy spirits arouod him.

I heard the noise this time, which had at tracted his attention be for, swelling, as the storm lulled an instant, into a wild, protract ed howl, as from a thousand famished throats clear, dismal, anrl wailing with that fearful tones which startles the boldest, even at their firesides Blair turned, and as our eyes met he slowly whispered 'A .pack of hungry wolves . God have mercy upon us !"

Tue hour has come! I knew it would have felt it for days. I do not fear death, but it is horrible to be hunted down in such a spot as this, and be tire by infernal dev ils." His breath camo thick and hissing though his clenched teeth, and his chest heaved with intense emotion. "Here;" sail he, lifting ths soiled string over his head, and taking a locket attatched to it in hb band, "is the shadow of one you never knew, but tho original was once the light of my young life, and came with ma to this territory when the world was bright with hope.

It was answered as if from a thousand throats, and up and down the val ley, until one wild, startling, unearthly howl fiwallii oa tha tlill evening air. God, "how I that how! went to the soul !

It seemed that my brain would burn into ashes under the fiery heat, ani my heart burst from my bosom. That was the cry of my wife a clear, wailing shriek of mental agony." Blair dropped Im head and thrust bis fin gers into Lis ears, as if that terrible sound was acaia naming through the forest. A moment, and he hurriedly resumed: o'-ej n 'J. remember no more nutil the morning broke enl the Sun smiled" to. roue h" the frees npon the terrible ecene It was horrible ! The ground was tore and stained with dar k tpots, where pools of blood had sunk away.

The axe itself lay withia reach, red with bloood us entire length. My own arms were also stained, and stiil damp. Bat, God of mercy a worse sight than ail this met my gaze of returning consciouoaess.

The camp fire burned dimly in the blinding storm of snow, and a sense of loueliness and ter ror came over the spirit darker than the sky overhead.

"Damn 'em I'll try them with the axe." My wildly uttered warning was too later for, as it swelled above the sounds below, with unatural strength Blair leaped down with a shout of rage and defiance, and with his axe and knife fought the puck face to face.

After the first howl of joy, as it seemed to rae, when Blair jumped down, the wolves were less noisy, and apparently more weary, for they seemed to realize that they had aa enemy to deal with. I madly railed to him, and muttered curses, as I tried to un tie the thongs with which I had lashed niv self to the trunk. "Ha, ha ! glorious sport here, boy; another devil the less!" and his maniac laugh and shout came up scaictly less startling than those of the wolves around him. I knew that he was mad. I could hear the vice-like jaws close con stantly around Blair, aud now then his ixe sink with a heavy, crushing sound into some skull, and then all grew more dim; a delic ious feeling of happiucss crept over me; the sounds of the - strife below died out, and sweet dreatus stole over me like the summer's breath. Ths reports of our lifles had reached the cabin, which, as I afterwards learned, was not twenty rods from where we camped. The inmates, numbering some fourteen, by the addition of emigrants who had stopped in the storm, came out with dogs and guns, and reached the spot but a moment too late. Blair had lodged his axe o deeply in the head of a wolf that the corners remained fast, and the others tore him down. They were literally shot down with their fings holding to the torn flesh, and his warm blood jetting over their shaggy skins. The mangled body was snatched from them, and I cut- down from tho tree and carried to the cabin.

Fron the Tiffin (Ohio) Tribune. ;.The -ijJj.Vr- Narrative of the, re tarn and recognition of 'lathew Bray ton, the long lost son of Elijah lirayton, of this county, who was stolen by the Indians thirty five years ago, will he rea l with interest. It was kind ly furnished by Mr. J. W. Chamberlain, of Cary, and can be relied upon as true: Oa ths the 20th of September, 1825, two children of Elijah Brayton, then residing near Springville, in this county, were Sent out for the cows After going a short dis tance Trom home, the youuger one, Math?w between seven and eight years of age, be came fatigued and started for a neighboring house close by. while the other coutioued the search for the cows. Since that time noth ing has been heard of the chld. until lately. The country was thoroughly searched by all the whites and friendly Indians that resided near this settlement, and continued for sever al weeks, but without effect. At the time- be was lost there were two scars ou his person, oue on his head, caused by a boil, &nd one on the big toe otitis right foot, -During the latter part of last August, it was ascertained, through ihn modlnm nf fhj papers, that a returned Indian captive was at i Cleveland, soarchiug for his relatives. Search wis made for this person, but he was not found until Tuesday evening, November 15th when he was discovered at a farmer's house, near Sugar Grove, Warren county. Pa., by William Dayton, who started with him imnie diately for Adrian, where he arrived Thurs day afternoon. The news flew like wildfire through the neighborhood, and the people have been vis iting him constantly since his arrival, ques tioning and cross-questioning him until be is ; almost exhausted 1 he scars, correspouding to those on Mathew Brayton wheu lost, wvre fount! on his person. He is a man about five feet seven and a quarter inches io height v u-J. i - and of light complexion. He has some p ui.iaa vii ui tun., mat; suiuc euais imi uin up the woand (some eight iaches in length) with a buckskin thong, making but three ,-. i e. . ,. , stitches. The scars made by the needle and ,t . , r. . . . -.uju;i arc nearly as lariiu aa tuafc mao uy me J s . cut of the toimhawk. He has with him his IuJian dog, named Nemi, aud a large pips made of flint, which -weighs nine ounces. He sa3'S it took him one moon to drill the hole through the pipe, which he did with a piece of steel, some bears oil and water. He was stolen by the Pattawatamie and Canada Indians, and was shifted from one of these tribes to the other, until he was sold by them to the Pawpaw Indians, who gave five and a half gallons of whiskey For him, and they sold him to the Winnebagoes for seven and a half gallons. They were living io Michigan at that time. The Chippeways bought him of the Winnob'agoes. aud kept him two months rnd a half, and then sold him' 'to the Sioux for eleven gallons of the fire water. This he does not recollect himself, but it was told him by the various tribes, as he traced him self back to Ohio. He remembers back to the time he was owned by the Sioux, which be says was twen ty-six year ago To use bis language, "I was then a bead shorter than I am now." He was purchased from the Sioux twenty-five years ago lat April, at Cedar Rapids. Iowa, by the Snakes aud Copperheads, with whom he has resided ever since. He lived in Iowa two years, then moved to Minesota, where he staid six months; thence to California, whre he resided five and a half years, thence to Oregon where they staid two years, thence to the Russian possessions, where he has re sided ever since, except when travelling to and from their trading post. - He lived near Behring's Straits, 200 miles northwest of "Big Esquimaux" village, 60 degrees north latitude. HeTrias crossed the straits several times in the winter season on the ice. He was crossing once a few winters ago, on the back of a larjje elk, going at a pretty sharp pace, when the elk stepped into an air hole, throwing him over his head into the water. At the time this took place the lamented Dr. Kane, with his expedition was in that sec tion. After getting out of the water he met one of his crew, a man by the name of Thni as Hit-key. Siuce bis return to the States, on the arrival in Cleveland, when he go off the train, he saw Hickey, who recognized him instantly, calling him by his Indian name. He was in St. Paul when it only contained seven houses. About eight years ago his tribe being nearly famished by hunger, went to Hudson Bay in search of provisions, where he first learned that he was a pale face The whites beiug unable to purchase him thc In dians refusing to part with him.) threatened to take him by force, but the great disparity of their numbers prevented them from put ting their threat in force. They would cot visit any white settlement for three years after that, for fear he would leave them, or be ta ken away by the whites. They then visited Lord Selkirk's settlement on Red River, where they got into a Bkirmish with the whites The whites told him there, also, that he was a white man. He had been at St. Paul sev en or eight times on trading expeditions; also at Lord Selkirk's settlement, Hudson's Bay and St. Anthony' Fails. The- whites repeat mend i V I- J.

They came with him to Chicago, where he was taken sick and placed in the hospital for treat rnent and kept there till he recovered. His Indian friends there left him and returned to the tribe, ne went from there to Detroit, Michigan; thence to Ohio; thence to North ern Pennsylvania, where he was found by William Braytoa lie was then on his way to some Indians in New. York. He can speak hve-diirerent.lDd4an.. languages.- tiz: bnake, Copperhead, Crow, Utah and Flathead. ' He also speaks the English language very fluent ly and correctly, which, be says came to him almost intuitively on meeting with the whites The tribe with which he lived had a compass aDd watch enclosed in one copper case which they used in travelling. They purchased it of the Russians for 100. He Eays the Snakes, Copperheads, Crows, Utahs, and Flatheais, together number 100 500 men, women and children included. He married the daughter of the Grand Chief, seven years ago. He has tw 3 children a son and daughter. His daughter's name is Tufrona, (Tame Deer.) and is five years old. His own name is Owahowah Kishmwah When be arrived at Chicago he was dressed in Indian costume, daubed and painted, his hair hanging down to his knees. While iu hospital they cut off his hair and scrubbed him with saud, soap and water, until all ves tige of the paint was removed. He ate meat raw, hut will not eat food containing salt.
