INDIAN FIDSLITY.
The following interesting anecdote was lately re=
eeiveri from America, from the venerable narrator, with
permision to poblith it.
On seeing the death df Oeoeral °Vitra atmonncint
in the public papers, the following occurrent! respe4-
ing him was brought to shy recollection ,
Some tithe after the crionencement or t
whi rto.
tionary war, when the Norfhern Indians ere re
ning to make inroads on the people livins• on the east
side of the Ohio River, this gentleman lialritiv come ott • •. '
to the upper Moravia* tewm on the Muskingion, on
business, and there taken lodging Iklt a respectable and
decent family of Indians in the village, I had one even-
ing scatcely laid down to sleep, when I was soddenly
roused front my bed leg4ii Indian ninuer (or usessengeel,
who in the eight bad been wet to me V miles, with the
folkiwing verbal message :.4My f •• ! see that our
friend (1 Hat ra, no* at your town, be itetliately take',
off to the settlement firth, While People; avoiding n'A
the paths leading to that river.— Vail not in taking try
advice, for there is no time to lose—and hear my son
further od the subject."
The fact was, tHat eleven warriors from Sindnsky
*ere far advanceJ on their way, to take or merrier
°Marra, who at break of day would be at this place for
the purpose. I immediately seat for this gentleman,
and told him that I would furnish him with a condactor,
on whom he might depend; ad having sent for
Anthony, (dtherwtse called Like Holland,) informed
him of the circumstance, and requested his services; he
(the Wien) wished first to know, whether sty friend
placed coaffrleisee in him, and tro;ted to his fidelity:
which question being answered by O'llarra bintsel4 sort
to his fell satisfactloil, he replied, " Well, e sr fires
eeanot er Depended ! meet stood or fill together t
Set take covroge,fbr so enemy shall discover as!"
The ladled then took Mr. &Hata throngh the woods,
and arriving within a short distance of the Ohio river,
pointed oat to him a biding place, until he, be steolli
ep add dowh the river, should discover white
on the opposite shore ; when finally ohlerviag a
where two white men were clawing out a canoe foe we,
he hurried back to bring on his tested, who, wises soar
the spot, *lrked his Indian conductor to hide himself,
knowing those pdople to be lied men; he feared they might
kill him for his services. The Indian finally weirs/ kis
friend *ofd across the river, warned and made tappet
thereof.

The young Indian, who ha•l been the bearer of the
Message from his father to ►ue, hail immediately returned
to spring O'Harra off, in order to play a further decep-
tion on the war patty, for the purpose of preventing
them even from going to our town, fearing, that if
there, and dot finding their object. they might probably
hunt tap for his track, awl, finding this, pursue bun. He
indeed effected his purpose so completely, that while
they were Woking fur hint in one direction, his con-
ductor was taking hint off in another.
The father of the young lad, who was the principal
cum that O'Harra's life had been saved, had long been
admired by all who knew him fur his pholasathrupy; on
account of which the trailers had given hint the name
of "the tlentle►nan." o:ltemise this Indian was not
in connexion with the Christian Indian Society, though
a friend to them. He lived with hiv family retired, and
in a decent manner.

While I feel a delight in offering to the relatives and
friends of the deceased, as also to the public, this true
and faithful picture of Indian fidelity, I regret that, on
necessarily having hail to recur to the names " Anthony'.
and " Luke Holland," I mu drawn from scenes of rhosure
to crimes of the blackest hue. The very Indira just
named, who at that time joyfully reported to me his hay-
ing conducted his friend out of (limier, to a place of 'ar-
ty, some years after approached we with the dulefel news,
that every one of his chi ren, (all miuocs,) together with
his hoary headed parents, had been murdered by the
white people, at tiradenhutten, on the Muskingum.
