The American•Cooking'Stove.;

AFTER twanty years experience in the man
ufacture of stoves, we became convinced,
some six years since, that a vat amount of
money was being expended by the people of this
country, in buying cheap and worthless stoves, a
jive portiou- Aof Avhichevae,mastecl; god ; that
'true economy
..tiouadigbikilnlyingttgt beg atek•es
that could be made, notwithstanding' the price
was higher. IVithl this view we proceeded to
construct the American Cooking Stove, and
spared no pains or expenso,to tronkojt the best
-arlti

Soon after receiving my diplomad
went as a qualified assistant' to an eld
erly' practitioner in the north of Devon.
yhe country in that part is most pict
uresque. Here, and there lofty hills,
upon whose „summits are beautiful
woods, rise in statelygrandeur—beneath
them lie lovely ; valleys resplendent in
the Spring tithe with all nature's charms.
Noble rivers flow through these flowery
vales, causing the luxuriant foliage of
themeadows-to spring with redoubled
vigor. Emptying themselves into these
rivers are an innumerable quantity • of
little insignificant streams. Oftentimes
in the dry season these rivulets,are so
small as to belittle else thansluices, and
for the . most .part are 'traversed by
means of a plank or log of wood thrown
,rudely -across them. In -sonic places,
however, wooded bridges of inferior
dimensions arc erected for the use of
'foot passengers; but in no case, or but
with a rare exceptions, is there any
bridge built fof the accommodation of
'animals or vehicles. •
This want is severely felt in .the win
ter, when the heavy rains cause these
streams to swell to stleh a size as,to ren
der fording them impossbile. Many
serious results have thereby been occa
sioned, ordinary traffic- has- been com
pletely suspended,. mail coaches even
being stopped by the force of the cur
rent. Too ofterra medic& man having
been absolutely - unable to reach a pa
tient in most eminent danger, the re
sult has been death. About four miles
from Farleigh, the town in which I
resided, was Averil Castle, the seat of
the ;Earl of Averil, 14, was an ancient
warlike looltinc , structure, - standing
upon the top of a hill, and commanding
an extensive view of the surrounding
country. The slope of thehill itself had
been converted into a spacious laivn,
while at the foot ran a small stream,
which, owing to careful preservation,
was well Stocked with the • finny tribe.
. Although so far distant from the cas
tle, Dr.`Hallett was thenearest surgeon,
and consequently had the honor of at
tending at the castle. Neither of the
surrounding villages boasted a medical
man, and, therefore, owing - to the ex
tensive practice that necessarily de
volved upon hiM, and the failing state
of his health, Dr. Hallett was compelled
to have a fully qualified gentleman as
an assistant, to relieve him in his ardu
ous duties.
It thus happened that I had several
times attended at Averil Castle, for the
nobleman himself was at the time I am
speaking of an elderly man and an• in
valid, though he had only recently mar
rEied many years younger than
himself. His Lordship, though very
-lirondi , Wils really a pleasant man and
greatly attached to his wife, who, on
her'part, was - of a Very amiable and^
pleasing diSpix-lition, and very accom
plished, being the daughter of a neigh
boring peer. Ilesidingnt Averil Castle,
was Sidney Lakelles A nephew of
Lord AveriPs, being diel son of his
-Lordship's younger brether ! , who, dying,
when Sidney was quite in infant, con
signed him over to thl Earl's care.
Like a father and Son were the - Earl
and-his nephew. Heir to the title of
Averil,.of - which he was so proud, the.
old Earl Sidney in a still dem'er
light; and considered that ho had- still
dearer' Claims upon him,
and being un
married, gave youngLaseelles a _very
handsome allowance.
No wonder, therefore, would iii4ave
beenif, when the Lady Adela Tracey
became the wife of his benefactor, and
a handsome settlement allowed her, the
knowledge that such marriage might
perchance be the - means of losing his
claim to the title, and dying,, as he had'
been Worn, ai wealthless commoner—no
wonder if, under , such circnnistances,
he paid given Vent to the'feelin,g , s Of dis
appointment and vexation that must
almost necessarily have been produced.
But no—not by a single sign, or look, or
deed, did Sidney Laseelles show, that
the ratirriage was-other than pleasing 'to
him; on the contrary, be heartily con
gratulated his uncle, and expressed a
hope that Ile might be blessed with an,
heir, who should succeed to the honors
that Lordship had so snecesSiVely
bore. very onepraised him d when,
vio shOrt time afterward, he left Averil
Castle fOr the metropolis,, the golden
opiniontoof all where showered upon
him. Far different Was the opinion in
which,howevei uncharitable it Might
have been, I indulged.
I had never liked him, not Withstand-,
ing his extreme courtesy, and now my
aversionto waft-more than ever;
- for I felt assured that these very amiable
feclingt were feigned; and, in short., he
was.playing the part .of a miserable
hypocrite. Catch him in his natural
mood, and yod would See that the proud
patrician lips curled w - ithan unbecom
ing hauteur, and that the mien, though
lofty, was s, insolent; the oyes, those
never-deceiving characteristics, were
dangerous ones. Thesejett - Y OMB would
t listen with unnatural brightness, and
101 l with au almost fiendish leer. Des
pite his outward deportment„.l was con
vinced that Sydney Lascelles was a vil
lain.
• On a wild and tempestuous night I
was aroused by one of the Averil ser
vants, who excitedly informed me that
Lady Averil required my immediate
assistance, adding that his. Lordship
..was 'almost frantic, believing his wife
to be dying. - .

THE DOCTOR'S BRIDGE.
1 the castle keen - fp:titled by the servant
who had summoned me.
.Theniglit was indeed a fearful one ;
the wind howled with a sullen roar, and
the rain came pouring down with ter-.
srffic violence; whilstszvery now and
then the lightning darted in vivid flash
es and the thunder, rolled, deadening
with its awful noise all, other sounds.
"The brdok is fearfully swollen, sir,"
the :man-servant said; . "I had great
difficulty in getting across. Even yes
terday, owing to the .previous' heavy
rains, it was a considerable size, but to
night the ;water is past the 'HolloW
Oak," alluding to a well known old tree
oit one side' of the stream. .
"Then," I said, "I fear it will be im
possible for us to _ cross it' now."
"I am afraid so, sir," 'he replied. .
On we galloped,' fast as the quivering
steeds could go, and, still there were two
mile) of Billy road, to, be acomplished,
before 'we could" reiteli the bank ; on
still we dashed' through the angry
Storm; with tliedarkness over around,
save when a rapidAlashsof the electric
fluid would,; by its transient brightness,
render the-gloom more painful.
"Down•this hill, and we reach it,"
the,grooru.said, Anctas we reined back
our foaming horses, 1 experienced a
feeling of .deep thankfulness, till the
recurring thought's of the danger yet- to
come dispelled by their gloominess the
momentary Cahn.
It wa..4'reaChed at length;the peaceful
stream of two days previous now chang
ed into a surging - torrent, and I knew
by, the excessive width what a fearful
:depth ft must be in the centre. '
Across on the other side was the gli tik
mer of lanterhs, whilst at limes, above
the noise of the waters, could be heard
the shout of ,Voices.
"Haste, haste, for God's sake, baste,"
I could at laSt, distinguish to be their
importunatelvoices.
"I will try; it," I said, excitedly, and,
despite the entreaties of the man, I'
spurred my horse into the seething
stream ; on I T goaded him until the
waters reached almost up to my knees;
and' the animal could hardly • stand for
the rushing of the current ; in vain I
spurred ; the frightened steed would go
no, further, and in despair I reluctantly
turned back.; , - P
I could-hear the cries of disappoints
went rend the air, when at las - Acme
stentorian voice bawled forth, "Swim,
swim across.' ;
Bat for me to tryand swim were mad
ness; my knowledge of that aquatic
science was scarcely sufficient to enable
me to advance three successive yards,
even though in the,calmest waters, and
in 'the present turbulent state to hai . e
kept afloat for even a couple of wet
would have :been for me impossible
but suddenly it th ught struck me, and
1 at once gave ut .rance to it by shout
ing, at the top l of y yoke`, "A rope! a
f u
repel", .
In a short time one was produced,
and I 'called obi, "Hold fast oneend and
throw the rest across," and almost im
mediately thelend came whistling) past.
"Now help me to secure this end." I
said to the groom, and presently` we
succeeded in fastening it to a tree that
was standing near.
"As you vatue my life, firmly hold
' fast your'end," I shouted out, and the
1 answer "till right" beirfg given s I pulled
Coif my greatcoat, and other inconvenien t
appendages, and at once commenced
the attempt. I . .
'Keeping-close to' the rope, I walked
through the shallow water with tolera
ble ease, It as te Stream grew deeper,
I grasped -t le rope with both hands, for
the current; was so strong as to almost
wash my feet , from under me, an cf once,
\owing to the slackening of the repe, 1
was for a moment completely submerg
ed. "Hold tight, for God's sake !" I
cried, as, with!an effort, I regained my
footing; and as I felt the tightening
strain of the cord I battled on with re
doubled energy. And now the - worst
was past ; a few steps more and 11;1101141
have triumphed, when suddenly before
mo i l perceived; some - object standing i n
the water. I reached - out one hand to
try and touch it, when,•with a fearful
noise, the rope snapped asunder, and
the impetus again cast me off' illy feet ;
as Mel I instinctively clutched at the
figure I-had seen, and my blood *nett
cold as I found if was grasping a human
hand, and the hand held a knife.
All
•
All of a sudden the truth rushed over
me, and exclaiming "villain," with an
almost superhuman force I dragged him
toward me. Once more I was back in
the boiling waters, down in the trough
we"rolled, and II grasped convulsively
at him, and tried, with frantic efflirt, ,to
regain the bank in vain. We rose,
however, to the surface, and, at that
Moment a dash of lightning revealed to
me the demonlike countenance of Sid
ney I,,uscelles,,
With a dreadful shudder,' half uncoil
'scions though 1, vas, I releasedmy hold,
and he reeled away from me. Not Mint
my burden w slgone; an instantaneous
Seeling cause(, pie to exert my little
powers ot swi nutting; and for sonic time
keeping succeeded it eeping 'myself afloat;
but my strength gave way, my brain
whirled and my heart grew ;still, as I
felt 'myself sinking once more; and
probably for the last Ititne, beneath the
stormy ,tide. Iswas lOst—by rite rushed
all the events of the Past ; all my . pre
vious life was set vividly before we.
The sensation was maddening, and now,
as I felt the last breath leaving me, my
foot pitched into something _across the
Stream. ' Merciful - Heavens! it was a
'tree blown downward front the bank.
I graspe:l it ;• hope gave life; one more
pull'and my head was above the water.
How'l reached the bank, to this day T
know not; but the agonies endured as I
lay in s a kind of a stupor • on the wet
Sward, I shall never forget. Once more
t endured 'the' hot rorii of the late fearful
scene; once morel felt myself drown
ing in thelarpok, and experienced nil
"the terrible reality of that fearful depth.
1 now lost all consciousness. flow
long 'l.' remained thus I know not.
Brandy being poured:down my. throat,
I soon rallied under its revivifying in
fluence; and now pereeived severalinen
standing around me testifying their joy
at my, wonderful deliverance. Another
drink,of;the brandy, and I felt myself
.considerably recovered. It was morn
'Medic storm had' abated, and to nay.,
'great joy I perceived thecastle ata short
distance. The men aSsisted . me, and I I
succeeded in reaching its walls. Sin
cere were the congratulations I received ;
buttlie faces of all bo ea mournful look.
and entering the hall I was solemnly
informed it was too late. I knew at
once.the sad.cause of their ; dejection.
T s 4 3tsll a,sense of duty i 'pelted me to vis
it the Chamber, and there laic - rout upon
an elegant couch, were the lifeless forms
of Meta, Countess of'. Averil, and her
new-born child. . I
As - I'ivas leaving the.roorn I encoun-
tered;Lord ' Avert!, his haughty 'head
bowed down with grief. He grasped',
my hand, and in a voice 'thick with
emotion said,: "May the Lord less you
for What you have done to-nig - 1 . 311P
1, was compelled-to stay at the castle
for a short time, entilthe brook should
be sufficiently simill'M admit of my re.-
crossing it. His Lordship woujd insist
upon my going at once to bed, himself
ordering and seeing ; that everything
was done to render rue comfortable. I
slept, and the next morning I awoke'
in a burning fever. The events of the'
preylotts night had proved to much for
me r I became defirions, and Dr. Hal
lett was obliged to be sent for.
!For upward of a month I lay on that
bed of sickness, the Earl paying me
every attention. Though now tolerably.
cop vtilescent, I was quite unable to re
sume my professional duties, and a
change of air was strongly advised for
me.
When the Earl heard this ho at once
proposed making a foreign - tour, in
which I was to accompany him. "It
will be better for you to got away from
this place, he Said, "as soon as possible,
fraught as it is with such painful recol
lections." His Lordship had indeed,
sustained bereavement. Not only was
there the loss Of his wife, but on the
morning following that calamity there
was picked up, some half mile down
the stream, the blackened and 'disfig
ured form of his nephew, Sydney Las
celles.
"Noble boy!", the nobleman would
often say to me,. as he recounted the
painful story, "he tried tsave your
life, and lost his own in th attempt."
Poor, doting old Man, b w could I
underceive him ? how caul I tell hinf
that the "noble boy" wa. little else
t . i
than the murderer of his wife ; how
could I inform him that it vas Atilst
trying.to take my life not to . save it,
that he,,niet with his untimely end.
God knows' that he had sorrow. enough
to bear, without my mercilessly adding
to it; so he always believed in his
nephew's honor, and carried. the fulse
opinion of him to the grave.
We went on our tour, selecting the
East as an interesting part. There,
amidst the his-torte scenes, for a while
his grief was lessened, while the balmy
,breezes strengthened, his attenuated
franie.. After a few weeks My health
was perfectly restored, and ' the Ear]
propeged returning.
The change had improved him, though
his constitution was too shattered to
hope of hi 4 ever being restored.
"1 :-,lialllneverforget you," he said,.
us we parted, after our return; and he
kept his word. . _
A short time afterward, I received II
letter from him, stating that in a large
provincial town, in which ho was at
the time staying with a relative, there
was a large practice vacant, which he
had sO.enred for me, and, as he poSsessed
great influence in that part,,he doubted
not but that I might do extremely well
there. __ , _ . _
With many regrets I left Dr. Hallett,
and accepted , his Lordship's generous
oiler, and lam note enjoying a very
extensive practice. .
The Earl always isited me whenev
er he sva in town, tnd I noticed with
sorrow the rapid de line in his health.
A few years afterwa al, and the Right.
Honorable Sydne„ - eighth Earl of
A veril, breathed his last. But long bel
fore his death, he ha caused to be erect
ed a substantial bridge over the Elan
that had been the death-place s of his
unfortunate nephew, and in Which I hail
pir4sed such a `'night of 'horror." And
even now, in commemoration of that
terrible adventure, it is known by the
name of the "Doctor's Bridge."
LETTER FROM COLORADO
1 li.ENvEn, C. T. Sept. 28, 1867.
[COII ,si.ondeure of tho Agitator.]
The park we were then in is one of
1
thr .e vast tracts of open country sever
alty, known as the North, Middle, and
South Parks—the first two lying on the
western slope,,and giving rise to the
Grand, Green, Blue, and:other rivers,
tributary to the Rio Colorado of the
West, while the South Park,. on the
eastern slope, the largest of the three,,is
contained within a n area fifty by seven
ty miles, and givu - , rise to the Platte,
and Arkansas. ,
This, like the,other two, gives strong
proof or having at no distant day, geol
ogically speaking, been übmerged, and
was doubtless a large nland lake long
after the final subsides -.6 of the water
on the great plains.
But little is known of the North Park,
•i , 3 it is inhabited by several bands of
hostile Indians who have such a fond
ne,s for retiiining a good sized lock of
hair in remembrance of the white man's
visit, that even the daring trapper sel
dom ventures among them. In the oth
er two parlt the friendly Utes erect
their wigw.ains, and though they are
doubtless the,most intelligent tribe in
the west, they are the same lazy,-thiev
ing people'who are a curse to themselves
and to the country in which they live.
}lore 1 may express the views enter
tained by'every Western man in, regard
to the Indium A glance at jheit. past
history shoW:i•that the immense area of
conntrynver villa' they once roamed
is gradually b sing made smaller by the
white man, nod their number is gradu
ally diminishing. Whatever feelings
of pity we may have for the ultimate
fate or this -unfortunate race, which
must give • wily before our approach,
even as WI A,n.s disappfsared before their
adVanee, we must remember that, as a
nation, they
,are the sane illiterate,
idle, and wretched race they were when
our ferefathers landed on Plymouth
Rock ; anti in vain In the history of
conquered barbarous nations do We look
for tut instance where they, in refusing
to be benefited by their conquerors,
could long maintain their numbers, but
always disappeared before the advance
of the conquering race..
The Inditur. will not till the soil, but
puts forth the best efibrts of his savage ,
miature tofpreven t, others from doing it.
Ante people Who will practice the
horrid ernelties on .their prisoners of
which they are guilty, do not deserve

More than„ a year ago, representatiVes
of the various tribes of Simms, Chey
ennes, and Arapahoes were assembled_
at Fort Laramie for the purpose: Of
forming a treaty with their - "white
brethren." 7 , .
Bales of blankets and boxes of: fire-
arms were distributed among them; as
an extra inducement for them to enter
the compact, but when' no more could
be procured by begging or stealing they
sullenly refused to bind theMselves to
any agreement, and soon after they be
gan their' horrid work. A carefully
kept record proves they have killed over
three hundred persons in this territory
alone within a year, A few weeks ago
the same farce at treaty making was
gone through with, and then the sever
al tribes declared that unless both lines
of railroad now being built through
their 'limiting grounds were foreVer
stopped, they would forever remain at
war ),vith the whites. Until the Indian
iiation is wholly exterminated we may
qxpect, a repetition of their fiendish
work whene -er an opportunity is pre
sbnted. ,
Our camp n the Grand was iti the
midst of the best fishing and' hunting
we have yet seen. Numerous flocks of '
ducks and'geese floated on thevaters of
that river, or rose and settled on the
numerous small lakes in the icinity,
and so tame that but little hunter's
skill was required to secure as Many as
could be carried. In the neighboring
forest, elk, deer and bear can. be' found,
but as we had no use for this meat, no
effort was made to secure it; and few
persons, even old hunters, really wish
to meet a Cull grown grizzly. The riv-•
Ler is full of trout, many of which will
r weigh three or four pounds each; not
if the salmon trout of the great lakes, but

If any angler doubts the existence of
such numbers of the piscine family let
him go to the locality, one hundred and

An Eccentricßich Man.
An ecentrie wealthy gentleman, natn
ed Count L. B. SChwabe, - who proposes
to erect a national monument in honor
ur fallen solders; recently donated
St2s dollars to the Soldiers' Monument
1
un Of Springfield,- Massachnsetts.—
I eferi ng to this the Troy Whig gives
t le - following interesting sketch of this
'Makable man :
"About five years ago an ill-dressed
r n
r gh-bearded, shiftless-looking indi
vidual made his appearance ina little
-village in Montgomery county, engaged
in the laudable business of peddling
steel pens and cases, pencils, etc. lie ,
4anoked a short bla pipe, and he talk
d familiarly to eery body and, lie
(Unit seem to care much whether he
did a large or a little business, though
he was good enough at a bargain.; two
thirds of the time he lounged about the
hotel of the villag'il, and finally people
began to regard him as a harmless old
man, but one who was entitled to scarce
ly a moiety of respect.
One day he was rudely pushed out of
one of the stores of the village; at an
other time he w.aSinsultect and menaced
by t young man much younger, than
himself, who deemed himself too . , good
to be familiarly addressed by' such an
individual ; and, in factr coolness and
rebuff were at last muchmore common
to him than politeness And respect.-
i
Then he made a general distribution of
his steel pens, - giving with a lavish
hand to young amid old, and disappear
ing as mysteriously as he had come.—
He was gone several days and when he .
reappeared ills old friends and -enemies
scarcely knetv him. It was the worm
changed to the butterfly verily. He was
clean-shaven, and fastidiously polite to
all he met. He wag -dressed in the
bight of fashion, even to kid gloves;
and he carried a cane and swung it as
if he had been used to it. He put up at
•his old quarters and changed his dress
three times a day, aS if he had heen at
Saratoga, appearing each time in rai
ment liner than the last, though the
last was splendid. -
Tlin villagers watched him with open
mouths, and he enjoyed it, saying no
~-.,..a ~i. explanation nut quietly IS mon=
ing . the best of cigars and handling
them delicately. Then he gave an en
tertainment for the benefit of J,he poor
children of the' village, haying them
gathered together at the hotel and feed
ing them sumptimusly first, and giving
them vaA ' nable presents afterwards. Tire
children served and sent home, the
Young ladies and gentlemen of the' vil
lage, old enemies and friends alike,
were treated to 'dine' and wine—such
1 a tremendous dinner indeed as that
1 -village had not dreamed of up to that
lime; and after that was posed of
there was dancing, and inem-kiking
until an, early hi:Mr in the morning, and
the old gentleman enjoyed it as much
'zi-; if he had been a boy again, and made
loving friends as earily and rapidly as
.1: he had never sold a pen in his life."
A. witnoss being called to give evi-
~ c lice in a court iu Connecticut respect
, 1g the loss of a shirt, gave the follow
, ne - Mother said that Ruth said, that
said that Poll told her, that she
seen a man that seen a boy that seen
a hoy's shirt all checker, checker, check
er ; and our (rale, won't he t fOr mother
has whipped e. them a thousand-times for
lying." .L
A gentleman,once_asked a little -girl;
an only child, how many sisters she
had, and was told "three or four.”—
ller mother asked Mary, when• they
were alone, what had induced her to
tell such an untruth. Why, mamma,"
cried Mary, " I didn't want him to
think you were so poor that you hadn't
but one child. Wouldn't he thought
we were dreadful poor ?" -
