Kev. Henry Wolf, of Tod town

ago to visit Germa.iy, see his old
home, and the friends of his boy
hood who are left, gives the fol
lowing brief sketch of his jour
ney to that country.
Iloulmoh. Hessen Darmstadt. Germany.
AllKUSI K, Illtti.
Eimtou nkws: In compliance
with your kind solicitation, I shall
endeavor to give through the
Nkws a somewhat broken ac
couut of my trip to the Father
laud. First of all let mo sh.te
that tho first friend I met In Ger
many to the Fclton County
Nkws; it reached here before I
did. Second, I will correct t'.ie
statement in the issue of July 15,
in regard to my trip. ' For cer
tun reasons I changed my plan,
took Mr. Shr-ffnor's advice a. id
took a White Star Line Steamer,
and look the route over Treland,
England 111 d Holland.
The Germanic sailed at high
noon on the 15th of July from
her berth in the harbor of New
York with 500 passengers aboard
of which I was the only German
speaking person aboard. I will
say here that all Germans take
tho new German Steamer, which
are the fastest sailers on the
ocean at the present time. But
the English and American Lines
are strongly competing with the
Continental linos, by reduciLg
their rates. I have already j
bought my return trip ticket of j
the American line and have saved
much money by' so doing. 1
bought both tickets going and
coming in Philadelphia.
The Germanic is not a new
boat, but is still a very good ship.
It is 550 foet long and 40 feet
wide. It requires 00 men to
run it. I made t ho trip in just h
days. The finest view of any
thing I ever saw, and what im
pressed me most deeply, was
Greater New York its harbor
the many big ocean liners and
other crafts, Manhattan, with its
many buildings, too high to be
credited, the wouderful Suspen
sion Bridge between New Y'ork
and Brooklyn, the Statue of Liber
ty, and islands in the bay all is
like a dream iu wonderlaud
worthy of tho great Metropolis
of the West. When all this beau
ty passed out of sight and my
dear adopted country, .my heart
folt something I never felt be
fore my feelings were all broken
up. .1 began to feel so sad and
forsakeued. I do believe I was
just then real homesick.
The weather was spleuded on
the ocean, so calm that the coffee
iu the cups did not spill on the
table cloth. But the weather was
almost too cool for real comfort.
I was not seasick a minute, never
missed a meal and such board
I never had better iu my life.
Oranges, bananas and new Amer
ican tipples were served daily at
dinner. In fact it is like living
it) a good hotel. There was a
pump of real nice fresh water
freo to all passengers, for all
uses.
It is now just 51 years this Au
gust since my mother and broth
er loft Germany the first time.
The journey took thirty-seven
days, twenty-sovon of which were
fpent on tho ocean. The Bhip
wan a throo-rnastor or briir, be
longing to tho Merchant Marine,
and j ust for the time being used
for passengers, of which there
were about 300 packed in like
herring in a box. This multitude
of people had to do their own
cooking on a stove with eight pot
holes on it, in a kitchen nino feet
ttquare. Insufficient water and
that of an unpleasant smell and
tiisto, was tolled out to t,hem twice
nr$. k. It was the hardest time
w" ever had in all our hvos. My
mother then said that ff fhe would

Large Potato Yield.
If you have any doubt whether
the above head means a large po
tato yield, or a large potato-yield,
you will find that both interpreta
tions are correct, for last spring
about potato-planting time, Mrs.
Lizzie Sowers gave to Mr. Amos
Clouser of Tod township a potato
which Mr. Clouser planted. As
the potato had ten eyes, and Mr.
Clouser wishiug to get as large a
yield as possible, he cut tho pota
to into ton pieces, each piece hav
ing one eye. He planted t.hotu.
The other day when ho dug his
crop, he found that from that one
potato given him by Mrs. Sowers
he had just a half bushel of fine
tu bers.

on sea again, she would be will

remainder of her lite.
Now look at the change in trav
eling! Age, and even poor health
a no more considered in under
taking an ocean trip.
But I must closa for this ti me.
I hope to tell you more about it
when I come home.

On August 2d, a party of which

tho historic battlefield of Tippe

north oi the city of Lafayette.

In the autumn of lull, General
William Henry Harrison with an
armv of aK()Ut s(,o mu. mosilv
Kentuckians aud Tennesseeans,
ieft Viucennes, aud marched
i north a.ir,t the Indians of the
I Nort,. West, who hud oeen excit-
1 t,j towa, bv lirtsh .ntf. , 1()
had formed a federation oi all the
tribes of the Middle west, for the
purpose of killing and driving rhe
whites from the Mississippi Val
ley. At the head of this confed
eracy was a powerful chief called
Tecum sell.
General Harrison followed tac
Wabash river to a point utar
where the city of -Attica now
stands. He then plunged it.to
the forest to the north of the river
and following Bir Pine Creek.
; xviiicl) he cro8BLli at a 11oiut linw
known as the Little Mill, about i!
miles to the south of where we
now live, he proceeded north till
he came to a point one mile north
uest of w here Pine Village is now
situated, and on what is now the
, Atkiuson farm. Here General
Harrison discovered the Indiaes'

destroved after takiuir what eriiin
of Pine Creek, just opposite the
present U.wu of Piue Village,
where for two days he sent out
scouting parties which, however,
were unable to locate the Indians.
Breaking camp General Harrison
proceeded, cautiously, to the east
ward and camped the night of
November 5th, 1811, on what is
now the J. Farden farm, six miles
east of Pine Village. Being still
unable to locate the hostile In
dians, on the morning of Novem
ber fith, Harrison's army pro
ceeded northward, and in the
evening camped on a high piece
of ground on the uorth bauk of
Tippecanoe, where on this emi
nence, (which can scarcely be
called a knoll) which rises abrupt
ly from the river, and gently
slopes away to the north, until it
is lost in the rolling prairie, aud
stretching along the river some
300 j ards. Harrison after post
ing a strong picket, allowed his
men to rest for tho night. And
which, alas! proved to bo tho last
resting place of twentv-uine of
I that brave little army.
As every Fulton county school
boy knows, before break of day
! on the following morning Novetn
j her 7, 1811, Harrison's army was
; attacked by the ludiaus 1500
l strong who, for a time, threat
ened to annihilate tho entire army
of the Americans. But by tho
courage and tenacity of Harrison
and his men the Indiaus v ero
finally driven off with gioat
slaughter.
Notwithstanding many histor
ians to the contrary, it is, never
theless, -a fact that Tecumseh,
I himself, was not present at the
battle of Tippecanoe, but was
hurrying with 000 picked war-
riors to join the Indiaus ou the
Tippecanoe river, under his broth
er, who wa$ called tho "Prophet."
