INDIAN FIDELITY.

On seeing the death Of GIN. O'Harrs
announced in the public papers, the fol
lowing occurrence respecting him was
brought to my recollection.
some time after the commencement OF
the revolutionary war, when the northern
Indians were beginning to make inroads on
The people living on the east side OF The
Ohio river, this gentleman having come
out TO the upper Moravisn town. 90 the
Muskingum, on business, and there taken
lodging with respectable and decent Ia
mily of Indians in the village. / had one
evening scarcely laid down TO sleep, when
| was suddenly reused from my bed by al
Indian runner Tor messenger) who in the
night had been sent to me nine miles with
the following verbal message " my friend,
see that our friend 0'Harrs, now in your
town. be Immediately taken off TO the set
Element Of the white people avoiding all
paths leading TO that river. Fail not IN
taking my advice, for there is 40 time to
Iose-and hear my son further 90 the sub
lect."
The fact was, that eleven warriors from
Sandusky, we're far advanced on their
way TO take or murder O'Harra; who at
break of day would be at this place for the
purpose. Immediately sent for this gen.
tIeman and told him that | would furnish
him with conductor on whom he might
depend-and having sent for Anthony,
(othergise called Luke Holland inform
ed him of the circumstance, and requested
his services; he, 1.-THE lndian) wished first
to know. whether my friend placed conf
dence 10 him, and trusted to his fidelity
which question being answered by O'Har-
"a himself, and to his full satisfaction; he
replied Welt our iiUss cannot be sepn-
rated! We must stand or fall together
but take courage, for no enemy shall DIS
coUer as !"
The Indian then took Mr.. O'Harra
through the woods, and arriving within a
short distance of the Ohio river, pointed
Out TO him hiding place, until he, by
stroIling up and down the river, should
discover white people on the opposite shore
when finally observing house, where two
white men were clearing out canoe for
use, he hurried back TO bring on his friend,
who, when near the spot, advised his In
dian conductor to hide himself, knowing
those people to be bad men, he feared they
might kill him FOR his services. The In
dian finally seeing his friend safe across
the river returned and made report there
of.
The young Indian, who had been the
bearer Of the message from his father to
me. had Immediately returned on seeins

There Is nothing in which the Im prosi-

their neglect TO ward off the present scar
city OF timber Tor fencing, building, &c.

our forest trees falling around in such uunl-
bers that the least reflection nas, couv luce
us lew years viii leave us without a
supply oltimber and wood for the most ne
Icessary purposes, unless we obtain il fron,

see no one setting out, or trimming up, a

This ought not to be. Almost every
owner Of land has useless and unprodue-
live spots, which he might ill with young

much, 10 settling, coDquering, and freeing

costs almost as much TO put larm 10 good

present plan is pursued, of cutting down Sc
much, and setting out none, What are we OF
our descendants TO do fifty years hence?
Let our public spirited farmers MAKE
an experiment of planting lots with ches
nuts, waIIuls and acorns, and transplantin.
or trimming up their thrifty sprouts anC
saplings; and if they do not live long 2
nough TO employ them IN building, them

great honor to themselves, enhance tn
value of their farms, and render an in
calculabIe service TO the public.

DIRECT TAX 1876.

tits understood that Certain persons are
traversing the several states, pretending TO
be purchasers Of the estates of hundreds
of citizens, for their default in not pay ing
the Congress taxes of 1915. These per-
sons show large deeds drawn in very
formal manner. and signed by some collec-
tor, by which properties to the amount of
thousands and hundreds of thousands OF
dollars are pretended TO be sold. MANY
entire estates, of immense value, knocked
down, by the collector. as he is called, for
twenty dollars. These persons pretend
that they hold deeds from the u. States;
and that no one can offer any plea against
the United States title; and many unsus-
pectins persons, not knowing the fuiility
and fraud of all those claims, are persua-
ded TO pay large sums and give bonds, to
get clear of them.
Now il is proper to inform the public
that not one Of these deeds are made by
the United States; and that not a single
sale or conveyance, made by any of the
collectors Cor the tax OF 1915, is of the
least validity. Every person therefore
who pays money, is defranded, and may
recover it back.
And whoever have given bonds and
mortgages to any ofthese sharpers, should
Immediately advertise and warn all per-
sons from taking an assignment; and alsoI
take ont an attachment or bring an action
against these public impostors.
