Floating on a Hollow Log.
IN 1840, a party of young men from
Western. Pennsylvania reached Call
for d la, and disposing of their animals,
provided themselves with the usual out
fit for the digging and with unabated ar
dor commenced delving for the precious
metal. The luck of thousands attended
them. Now their hopes would be at the
fever point at the discovery of a few
shining grains, and again they would
toll for days without being rewarded by
a single grain of hope. Thus they
worked week after week, and month af
ter month until the winter passed, and
the spring dawned upon them. They
had prosecuted their labors In every spot
near them, yet with miserable success ;
and upon holding a consultation It was
determined to remove to some place
which had not yet been visited by the
hundreds of miners.
Accordingly, collecting together their
worldly all, they took a direction nearly
due north, toward Oregon Territory.
Here, striking slightly to the east, they
commenced a search through the moun
tains in that vicinity. The streams
were turned aside, and their beds exam
ined ; and in wild, rocky gorges, never
disturbed by the presence of man, they
plied the pick and spade, and the forest
rung with their glad, exultant shouts,
as, In some instances, their labors were
rewarded. Their success was quite good
and they were comparatively well re
warded. They remained here several
months, until the rammer was far ad
vanced, and, strangely enough, were
undisturbed by Indians. Then, when
about to start for San Francisco, before
embarking for home, it was determined
by several to make a further exploration
of the romantic country around them.
The company separated, with the
agreement to return to the camping
ground at the end of a week. Each
took a different direction from his com
panion, and determined to improve his
time to the utmost.
It Is our purpose to follow the adven
tures of but one of the company George
Ellis, who in one short week, experi
enced enough to fill a volume.
At the end of the week, they all met
upon the camping-ground, with the ex
ception of two. The fate of one of these
William Trenck was known. He
had been discovered lying at the foot of
a tree with a bloody orifice In his fore
head, through which the bullet of some
hidden enemy had passed. His scalp
was gone, and there was no doubt enter
tained in relation to his destroyers. - Al
though the miners hoped for the best,
yet they all believed that Ellis had shar
ed the same fate with his companion. A
search however, was instituted, and
every spot that could be explored in time
was visited and searched by the remain
ing ones. It was without success ; and
after remaining a day or two beyond the
appointed time, they finally bade fare
well to the camping-ground aud all
hopes of their companion.
Ellis was the best hunter aud the
most reckless of his party, and, without
hesitation, he struck off iu a northeast
erly direction, toward Oregon Territory,
and before he was aware of it, he had
reached that portion of the country in
habited by the Indians called Moleles.
Here, although he found plenty of game
he discovered not the least traces of
gold ; yet as this was the last opportu
nity that he ever expected to be present
ed with, he determined to improve it to
the utmost and visit every vicinity that
his limited time permitted.
For five days he continued his wan
derings without meeting with any event
worthy of note, when late one afternoon
he discovered that he was in a coun
try inhabited by numerous Indians.
Their signs were all around him, and he
found that the utmost caution was nec
essary to avoid an encounter. Several
times he feared that his presence had
become known ; but no savage however
showed himself; and at night, as he lay
down to rest, it was with the hope that
as yet he was safe.
Somewhere near midnight he sudden
ly awoke, apparently without cause, yet
as he affirmed, with a strange presenti
ment of impending danger, which he
could not shake oil'. When he awoke it
was not as a person generally does, but
in an Immediate state of consciousness
and as he cautiously arose to his feet,
he felt the presence of some foe. There
was a moon yet the night was cloudy,
and it only showed itself at intervals.
As a heavy cloud floated past its face,
Ellis either imagined or really saw sev
eral forms crossing the river toward
him and as he listened intently he heard
the soft, muffled dip of oars. This was
enough; and, without waiting further,
he commenced a hasty, though silent,
retreat.
He judged it best to keep the stream
in sight, as he knew that it would event
ually lead him in close proximity to the
camp. He had gone but a short distance
when he beard a low peculiar sound,
like the cry of a wild bird. This he
knew was a signal of the Indians, and
he lout do time in getting beyond tbe
hearing of it ;
A mile or two was passed when Ellis
detected a half-decayed tree resting part
ly in the water. A sudden idea seized
him, and stooping, he rolled It into the
water. It was light and dry, and float
ed finely ; and as he saw how well it
bore his weight, be could not help con
gratulatlng himself upon his good for
tune thus far.
Ellis Becured hi rifle, and stretched
himself out in an easy ppsltlon upon the
log; and being wearied, before he was
aware of It he dropped to sleep. He had
about fairly got off in the land of
dreams, when with an " Ughl" he
dropped beneath the surface, and gently
touched the bottom. As he rose his
head struck directly against the bottom
of the log, aud in no pleasant mood he
reached up and clambered upon it. The
log, in its course, had kept at a distance
from the shore ; but, in turning a bend,
one end turned the bank, and thus dis
lodged Ellis.
Dlspite the uncomfortable feeling
which this misfortune had produced, the
hunter felt that he was again passing
into Bleep. And he had reached that
peculiar, semi-conscious state, in which
the nerves are most sensitive, when
there came a Bound that made him
quake with horror 1 It was at his feet
and with a chill of dread he threw them
in and worked his way as far from it as
possible. Here he held his breath, and
it was repeated the fearful warning of
the rattlesnake. Ellis peered In the
darkness, but no object was visible ; yet
the reptile was within six feet of him,
and from its movement was evidently
preparing to strike.
Ellis' haste in retreating had given
the log an up and down motion ; and as
his portion was depressed and the oppo.
site rose, he shrank still further, fearing
that the serpent would either drop or
slip upon him.
In gliding down stream, Ellis passed
a portion of the shore which was devoid
of trees. At that moment the opposite
end arose and by the aid of the moon he
caught the shadowy outlines of the head
and upper part of a monstrous rattle
snake protruding from a rotten aperture
in the log. He was making prepara
tions to strike, and while yet visible, he
clubbed his rifle and brought a crushing
blow directly upon it. This species of
snake is easily killed, and nothing more
was required to dispose of the one in
question ; yet to make matters doubly
sure, he again raised his gun, and
brought In down with greater force.
As it struck, the collision between the
log and the hammer discharged it, and
the bullet passed so close as to grave his
side.
This was danger and escape unlooked
for, and Ellis began to really wonder
whether he was doomed to be killed by
his own carelessness, or destined to see
more providential escapes.
Ellis managed, after much difficulty,
with the aid of his rifle, to disengage
the reptile and fling it into the water.
He had just begun to breath freer and
easier, when he was horrified by hearing
another deadly rattle from the same
place that the first had come 1 There
was then still another I Ellis knew
where the snake must be : and without
hesitation, brought his rifle down with
crushing force upon it. He felt that he
had killed it, yet he was not certain that
he was yet free from danger, as there
might be more concealed within. After
waiting a few moments, and hearing
nothing, he forced his gun into the
aperture, and pulled forth the snake,
raised it over his head, in order to throw
it from him. As he did so, it slipped
down, and fell loosely around his neck.
"Ughl get out!" he fairly shrieked,
as he jerked it from him.
There was no danger of Ellis sleeping
any more that night. He remained up
on the log until the gray mist upon the
stream showed that . the morning bod
commenced breaking. He then worked
it into the shore, and stepping forth,
commenced his journey toward the
camp. He had however lost all knowl
edge of its direction, and did not pass
within many miles of it. .
It is hardly necessary to follow all the
adventures ' of Ellis. The day after
leaving the log he spent in wandering
through the forest. He knew the direc
tion of San Francisco, and kept toward
it. Several times he came upon a wild
animal, and once had an encounter with
a single savage, of whom he had the
advantage. He lodged in (fees at. night
and after three or four days be came up
on a number of miners, and in about a
week after entered the streets of San
Francisco. He had been altogether
quite fortunate, and without remaining
in the city, engaged passage in a steamer
for New York, and, strangely enongb,
it reached the city in advance of the
one in which bis companions had gone.
When the miners stepped upon the
wharf In the latter city, their surprise
may perhaps, be imagined at meeting
their old comrade, whom they had
mourned as dead.

A Curious Match at SaugerllRS.
A small social circle in Saugertles Is
now anxiously awaiting developments
in a romantic affair that has come to
light within the past few days, in which
a young dry goods clerk In Saugertles
and a Columbia county girl play the
leading parts. The names of the parties
are suppressed, but the alTalr Is of such
an unusual character, that it becomes a
matter of public comment.
On Friday last the young clerk was
busily engaged in cleaning the Interior
of a front show-window when a fashion-ably-dressed
and comely young woman
entered the store and asked the proprie
tor, in a vivacious manner, what he
would take for that article in the win
dow, nodding significantly toward the
young man. The proprietor laughingly
replied, that he would sell him for a dish
of icecream. The young woman said:
" Very well, I will take him," and de
parted, returning a little later in the
day with a female friend, when she in
vited the proprietor out to a cream sa
loon to bind his bargain.
The proprietor entered heartily Into
the Bplrlt of the joke, as he looked upon
It, and went with her. On his return to
the Bhop the young woman accompanied
him, and said as she started to leave : "I
am going home on Monday noon ; so
have that article ready for me, as I shall
certainly call for it." The clerk there
upon demurred, and said the bargain
woaltTnot'De binding unless he had a
dish of cream as well, at which the
young lady said : " Very well, you also
shall have the cream," and left, return
ing in a few moments with a dish of
cream in her hands.
The young man devoured the cream
and enjoyed a social chat with his pur
chaser, and, becoming quite Interested
in her, made up his mind to stick. On
Monday afternoon the young woman,
true to her promise, drove up in a hack
to the shop on Main street, and out
stalked her purchase, clad in a new lin
en duster and store clothes, and with a
hand-bag and sun umbrella in hand.
The hack drove off amid the laughter
and best wishes of the fellow clerks of
the young man, and the congratulations
of the proprietor to the young woman,
who warranted the young man to wear
well and hold his color, and that be
would never fade.
The party took the 2:30 train up the
river, and on Monday evening the mer
chant received a despatch from the
young woman stating that she had ar
rived at home safely with her purchase.
The girl is worth $25,000 in her own
name, and is about 20 years old. The
young man is fine-looking, has a neat
little bank account of his own, and all
say that the young woman might " go
further and fare worse."
She Found Him,
Another fraud has been fooling folks
by pretending to be a preacher. He call
ed himself Rev. Frank Marshall, and
introduced himself to the Baptist - con
gregation of Fairland, Ind., without
credentials, winning them sufficiently
by his good looks and oily tongue to in
duce them to make him their pastor.
Then he won the affections of the
daughter of the wealthiest resident, and
the wedding day was appointed. Short
ly before its arrival, while he was at a
social gathering, he was confronted by
his wife and child, whom he had desert
ed In Ohio. One of the deacons made
him kiss her, then he had to skip the
town with her.
A Careful Girl.
You may talk of sensible young ladies,
but like everything else, they carry that
sensibility to an excess. A young lady
of Covington was engaged to a young
man who thought that, as she was
worth $20,000, he ought to spend a good
deal of money when he took her around.
He paid seven dollars for a horse and
buggy to give her a ride one afternoon.
She broke, off the engagement, saying he
was extravagant and - wasteful. She
might have admonished him and let
him go in peace, but she was evidently
thinking he would quickly run through
that $20,000.
Not Born to be Drowned.'
Mr. Stewart Brontzman, of Easton,
has just had a narrow' escape from an
appalling fate. While coming home
from Europe he was taken ill on the
steamer, and to. all outward appearances
died. A canvass bag was prepared,
and the body about being enclosed in it,
when one of his friends objected to his
being buried so soon after death. At
his earnest persuasion the burial was
delayed, and it was not long before Mr.
Brontzman showed uumlstakable sigus
of life. He was also on the ill-fated
Narragansett, and saved himself by
swimming.
