'< . 1 " ; _l_s_ _f_ __v TUN KHAN NOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 28, f865. THE TK AGIC \VEDOING. I am no professed story writer, b*t there are many I have listened to in the early times whin the red men vainly strived, bul wreak ing his vengeance on the defenceless settlers ot our frontiers, to gain the ascendency gone from him forever. These tales uro invariable interesting ; first because they are full of thrilling incidents, aud then again because they are true. The story of the tragic wedding is one among the many that I have listened to from the I'ps of an old friend of mine, (a pioneer in the settlement of Northern Vermont,) du ring the long winter evenings of LBs4—when banishing from mind, as much as*possible the dogmas of the learued commentator, I betook myself to the flieshie, aud gathered proflt and recreation from the old man's naratiVes "Just fifty years ago this very night," be gun the old roan one evening, "ou the iden eal spot where squire P 's bouse now stands, occurred a tragedy, the reuiembranae of which tills me with horror. It was one of the mo t cold-blooded transactions that.in all my residence in the wilderness, of seven ty years ever came to my knowledge; it filled the region round about with eonsternc tion, causing.mothers to hug more closely their helpless infants and heardy men took nn their arms and swear vengeance on the In artless perpetrators. Listen 1 will tell it to you. "A few of the more hardy and daring set tlers of M , becoming dissatisfied with their situation there, removed into this then wild and almost unexplored region, distant about thirty* miles from any settlements ; and finding a fertile soil and advantageous loca r cation, built themselves log houses, and made cleirines. Things went on prospei ousiy with them, and t ley lived with bul tittle fear of the Indians, none except a <■ niggling hunter or two, had been known to visit ihe vicinity since a battle between a Urge party of settlers and the tribe which j located themselves there occurred, in which | the Indians were signally defeated, and mure i then half of their number slain. 'lhe settlement numbered some twelve families, who were located in a circuit of souie miles. My elder brother and sister were amosg the number* Among them as a matter of course was a fair springling of lacs and lasses, of whom M iry S—— was a uni versa! favorite of old end young, and the leUe of the settlement. She was, my young fr end, a girl that was a git I— not one of your sentimental, pale, faced, wasp waited, dainty figured Misess of the present time, but h bright-eyed blooming and laughing brunette, aho could spin tow-and weave cloih out of which her dress was made. Oh. she was a charming girl, and whe Aver she went happi ness followed her footsteps. Her guileless heart shed its kindly influence all around her, imparting to all who'"catue in contact with her kindred feeling. "Jack ll— was exactly her counterpart! brave, generous, intelligent and enterprising; a perfect model of a man in character as well as form. At there was always a rival among the young beaux of the settlement, in striv ing to gain the favor and approbation of Ma ty, so among the girls, each strove to gain the favor and approbation of Jack. The knowing ones among the old folks planned . 'eep,-niberne*for intraping the youpgeoople iffo alliai-ces best mited to their "own par ticular interests ; but Jack and Mary, disre garding the wishes of others, had taken ihe niatler into their own hands, like sensible young people, as they were, and in spite of ihe plotting of old ladies, they had come to a jierfect understanding, and formed an inti macy which nothirtg but death could sirrtder. "At the time of which I speak this matter had long been settled, and all the necessary arrangements made.for the wedding of fhe •likeliest couple in the settlement,' as the old ladies said, which was so to take place on the annual thanksgiving. Thanksgiving, according to the proclama tion of the worthy governor of the province, came, and young and old gathered together at the capacious (for the time) house ofCapt S to cekbrite the nuptials of John and Mary ; and ample were the preparations for the feast. The worthy parson from the next SHttlmient were there also, and by his side w-ts another parsonage, with whom in these fastidious time*, it would be deemed a sac rilege to associate with the man of God—l mean the fiddler. But things ain't now as they were then. All was joy, all was gaity. Ah, little did those gathered there dream of the awful fate that awaited them ! "f wag just twenty two, and having mar ried thy worthy wife—peace to her moulder ing ashes—only a few months before, I was unprepared to go with my brother and sister, at the outset but was intending to fellow ihem as soon as tny affairs could be arranged I had been out a week or two trapping sable, and knowing what was to come off, I tnaKe it tny way to be present. The gaiety of the party was at its height. The ceremony was just being performed. The minister had pro nounced the solemn words 'whom (Jod hath joined together let no man put asunder,' the kis6 wm exchanged, and all were crowding f round the happy pair with congratulations when a 3'ell, wild and hideous, rent the air, ihe dt-adlT war-whoop of Indians. Terrible was the consternation of all foees, a moment before radient with happiness, were turned in agony of horror to heaven. In an instant, the doors were burst open, and 1 savage after savage, with glittering Knives and tomahawk rushed in to the slaughter. '■The hideous yell of the savages, the shrieks of the dying, they ring in my ears to the present day ! I saw the bloody toma : hak cleave the skull of poor Jack, as he [ vainly endeavored iq protect Ins bnde. 1 I heard her wild shriek as the deadly knife pierced the bosom of the loVily Mary. 1 saw iny sikter fall dead at my feit. I saw the savage's arm uplifted. I fell a stuuing blow and knew no more, llow long I remained insensible, I have no means of knowing. I awoke as from a fear ful dream. I was nearly crusned and cover ed with dead bodies, to which circumstances I probably ow ed my lifa. With a struggle I extricated iiiyirelf from the dead uponnie, jin<] stood upon toy leet. The sun was aldn ing high in the heavens. O, horror# what a sight met'my eyes? There, in their blood, lay every one that had formed that bridal party ; not a soul had escaped ! How was it that I was alive ! I put my band to my bead and felt for my scalp, I found Ihe frac ture. I had bet n struck with the back of the tomahawk, and only stunned, and being covered by my Iriends, the Indians neglected to aeifFp me. "One bv orlc I examined the bodies of all to see if life wis remaining in any. I found two or three whom the savages neglected 10 ?calp, but none alive. The sight was too much for human vision. Coming again to uay senses. 1 hurried f om the dreadful spot, stepping over the margled corpses of my sis tiprarid brother, and the bride and brideroom in the embrace of death. I passed to the next; death had been there too. The emo king ruins of others told but too plainly the tragic st >ry ; there was not a living person besides me in the settlement ! "When I think of that,awful flight,. of Ihe horrors of the morning as I awoke to sensi bility, my blood ourdles io my veins, und my head swims. From "hat tmc I swore ven geance 011 the red skins. It has long since been accomplishod. Not oue of that tribe lives to tell the story. MARRIAGE. —Oh, surely marriage is a great and :-acrtd responsibility I It is a bark in which two souls veniuie out on hle's stormy era, with no aid but their own to help them. The wcll-doirg of their frail vessel must in future solely rest upon themselves. No one can take part either to mar or make their bliss or misery. From her husband alone must henceforth flow all the happiness that the wife ts destined to know. lie io the only being she must care to please. All other men are now to be to her but shadows glan cing on the wall. An! he—what is his share in the compact 1 llow does he fulfil his promise—redeem his pledge ? For does he not swear to guard and cherish, and look leniently on the faults of the gentle girl he laKis to his heart ? And in return for all her duty and sweet obedier.ee, be true to her in sickness and health, in wealth and in pov erty, for ever and for ever; and blessed are the unions in which those feelings are foster ed and preserved. £2ST A humorous young man was driv mg a horse, which was in the habit of stop ping at every house on (hi road side ; pass utg a country tavern, where was collected together some dozen c -uiitiymen, the beast, as u-ual ran opposite the door and then in spite of the young man who applied the whip with all his might to drive the horse on stopped ; the men on the porch commenced a hearty laugh, and some inquired if he would sell that horse ! "Y r es," said the young man, "but I cannot recommend him, as he once belonged to a butcher, and stops whenever he hears any calves bleat." The crowd retired to the bar in silence. C3T A negro preacher once observed to hi 6 hearers at the close of his serman as fol lows : My obstinacious bredren, I find it no more use to preach to you dan it is for a grasshopper to wear knee buckles. Bub was one morning in a barber's shop where he found a bank president impatiently waiting for the tonsor's appearance. "'Tis too bad, Bob. said tho banker "that this shaver shouldn't be at hia post at thiß time in the morning." "True," replied Bob, "with tho merest grain f malice, and yet you don't opea till ten." The savage maiden patnts ber body; the bright eyed beauty of civilization paints her cheek The one wears a ring in her nose ; thy other rings her cars.

They are the same by nature; they have beeu changed by circumstances. f.y Why is Sunday the strongest day ? Becauxa tbe others are all txs'c d*ys A LANDLORD GRATIFIED. A Yankee—but whether he was a trader or not, I can't say—stopped aft a tavern, "a way up North," in the State of New York, called for supper and "fixins," and after 6wal lowing-a preity considerable moaf, retired.— Msanwhile the landlord and interlopers were busily engaged In conversation. By and by Yankees and Yankee tricks weye discussed. The landlord informed hi bar-room company that there was a live Yankee in the house, and if it Were' possible he would have a trick or two out of him be fore he left, while ttie aforesaid "hangerron,', were to be witnesses. Alter a "pleasant smile" all around, at the landlord's expense-, they mizz'ed. Next iWorninp landlord and company were ready to snap at Mr. Yankee. 89 soon as he should make his appearance. Breakfast being over, in walks Jonathan, with an air pecultar to folks "deown east/' paid his bill, and was about to depart, when 1 the landlord accosted him with: "Yoo, Ut plain to bo seen that you're a Yankee. Can, or will you oblige us with a trick or two, for I can asure you we are rca dy to be tricked if you can do it." "Wal, dunuo bout that. Ilev dun a few in my time ; but dunuo as I kin dew anythin 1 smart this morniu'." "0. do. Let's have s trick," exclaimed the eager crowd. "Wal, 6eein'its yeou, I'll dew it jest to please you, but 1 swow you musu't git mad. "O, no, not at all," says the landlord. "I'll go his security," chimed in old Rum nose. "I reckon," says Jonathan, "yew sell a prodigious sight of lieker in these paita. and good at that. Yew have a pipe of wine in the cellar, eh ?" "Oh, yes, rale stuff too, I tell you." "Wal," says Jonathan, "come along, all yeou that want to behold the miracle perfor med"—and down they went in the cellar.— The said pipe was pointed out. "Neow," says the Yankee, "gentlemen, yew see that pipe of wine, dew you ?" A nod of assent went the rounds of crowd. "Wal, neow I kin take brandy out of one end and gin out of tother." "Do it and you can take my head for a fcot ball," exclaimed the landlord. Jonathan coolly drew from hi pocket a small gimlet, and bored a small hole in one end of the pipe, which bole the landlord was requested to Cover with his thumb. He did so, as soon as a hole was bored in "tother end." Jonathan kept a 6obcr phiz during the op eration, and requested the landlord to stop up the other, while he went after something to put the darned stufl in. The landlord complied with his request, and, stretched across the pipe, resembled a man of war's man about to receive a dozen with the "cat." Jonathan iramediatels decamped, he did. The landlord's back began to ache, aud he began to think the Yankee was a long time getting wials to put the licker in. Soon the wialsof his wrath began to bile over, and wotds too deep for human ears were strug gling for utterance, and he, holding on,endea vored to keep the wine from leaking out. Soon the hoax began to I.EAK into the heads of the "outsiders." By and by, one gave a laugh and guessed the landlord was done a leetle the brownest of anything he'd ever seen ; and didn't the walls of the old cellar ring and ring again with bursts of laughter ? Well, they did. The landlord raved and sworo, almost —be was a deacon in the church—ai.d at last he broke forth with. "D.g my eternal cat*, if 1 hain't been tricked by that confounded Yatikep." He tried to get some of the crowd to sup ply his place, but old Rumnose thought —he never let a good opportunity slip—'twould be well, inasmuch as the landlord had allow ed himself to be tricked by Mr. Yankee Doo die, that he, (the landlord) should treat al hands, which he did, add was released from his tiresome position, after losing his patience and some of bis wine. When the Baptists of Hartford began *° hold public services, an over zealous member of Dr. Strong 'a society called upon bim and asked him if he knew that John Bo Ilex bad started an opposition meeting. "No, when—where ?" "Why, at the old court house." ♦ O yes, I know it'" the doctor carelessly replied ; but it is not an opposition meeting. They are Baptists,to be suro, but they preach the same doctrine that I do. You had bet ter go and hear them." "Go !" said the man. "I am a Presbyter ian. "So am I," rejoined Dr. Strong, "bat that need not prevent us from wishing them well • You had better go." "N<," said the man, with energy, "I shan't go near them. Dr. Strong, ain't you going to do something about it ?" "What ?" "Step it, can't you ?" "My friend," said the doctor, seriously, •'John Bul its is a good man, and will surely go to heaven.

In conversation he avoids hasty, ill Cera-* pered or insulting words. Never pries into other peoples affairs. Detests eavesdropping as one of the most disgraceful of crimes. Never slanders an acquaintance. Never does, under any circuiastaac s, speak ill of a woman. "LET HER Go."—"t was," said a rever end gentleman,' "attending divine service in Norfolk, several year ago, during a season of excitement. While the officiating cier* gynian was in the midst of •< on st interest ing discussion, an old lady among: the con gregation arose and clapped her hands and exclaimed: "Merciful Father, ifl had one more feather in my wing of faith, 1 would fly to glory."
