By this time, several more Of the Indians
came up and shot at him. A second ball
wounded him IN the thigh, a little above the
knee, but without breaking the bone--the
ball then passed transversely through the
neck Of the mare. She, however, sprang up
the bank OF the creek, fellto her knees, and
stumbled rod before she recovered. During
this time, several Indians came running up
to tomahawk him. He made his escape,
after having about thirty shots fired at him
from very short distance. After riding a.
bout four miles, hc reached Lambs tort
much exhausted with the loss OF blood. Al
ter getting his wounds dressed, and resting
while, he set off late in the evening with
twelve men determined, if possible, to reach
the fort under cover Of the night. When
they got within about two hundred yards OF
it, they haltcd.--The firing at the fort still
continued; ten of the men thinking the enter
prize too hazardous refused to so any farther,
and retrcated. Rice and two other men,
crept silently along towards the tort; but
| had not proceeded far, before they came close
upon an Indian in his cenccalment. lie gave
the alarm veil, which was instantly passed
round the line. with the utmost regularity
This occasioned the Indians to make thcir
last eifort,to take the place, under cover OF
the night. Rice and his two companions re-
turned in safety to Lambs font.
! About ten O'Clock next morning sixty men
collected at Ricc's fort for the relief of the
place. They pursued the Indians, who kept
in body for about two miles. The Indians
had then divided into small parties, and took
over the hills in different directions, SO thai
they could be tracked no farther. Of cours'
the pursuit was given up.
| A small division of the Indians had no
proceeded far after their separation, befort
they discovered four men coming from {
neighboring fort in the direction ofthat which
they had left. The Indians waylaycd tn,
PATH and shot two Of them dead on the spot
| The others fed. One OF them being swift o
foot, soon made his escape. The other be
ing poor runner, was pursued by an Indian
who, after smart a chase, came close to him
The man them wheeled round and snapped
his gun at the Indian. This lie repeated
several times The Indian then threw Iii
tomahawk at his head, but missed him. IL
then caught hold of the end of his belt, bu
not the man, who wheeled round and tric'
his gun again. 1t happened to so off, an'
laid the Indian dead at his feet.

BEETHOVEN.

Beethoven is the most celebrated OF the
living composers in Vienna, and in certain
departments the foremost of his day HIS
powers of harmony are prodgious. Though
not an old man, he is lost to society, Ill con-
sequence of his extreme deafness, which has
rendered him almost unsocial. The neglect
of his person which he exhibits, gives him a
somewhat wild appearance. His features
are strong and prominent; his eye is full Of
rude energy; his hair, which neither comb
nor scissors seem to have visited for years,
overshadows his broad brow in a quantity and
confusion, TO which only the snakes round a
Gorgeous head offer a parallel. His gencr-
al behaviour does not i'll accord with the IN
promising exterior. Except when he is a
mong his chosen friends, kindlincss or alta
bility are not his characteristics. The total
loss of hearing has deprived him of all the
pleasure which society can give, and perhaps
soured his temper Even among his oldest
friends he must be humoured like a spoiled
clild. He has always Il small prayer book
with him and what conversation takes place
is carried on in writing. The moment he is
seated at the piano, he is evidently uncoh-
scious that there is any thing else in e>is-
tcnce but himself and his instrument; and,
considering how very deaf lie is, it seems
impossible he should hear all he plays. Ac-
cordngly, when playing on the piano, he Of
ten does not bring out a single note. lie
hears it himself i'll the minds car While
his eye, and the almost imperceptible motion
ot his fingers, show that he is following out
the strain i'll his own soul through all its dy-
ing graduations, the instrument is actually
as dtlmb as the musician is deaf. He seems
to feel the bold, the commanding, and the
, impctuous, more than what is soothing OF
gentle. The muscles of the face swell, and
its veins start out; the wild eye rolls doubly
wild; the mouth quiyers, and Beethoven
looks like wizard overpowercd by the de-
mons whom he hinselfhas called up.

SCOTTISH LEGEND.

A married couple of the Scottish hlgh-
lands, had thrice lost their only child, each
diving at an early age. Upon the death Oh
the last, the grief Of the father became bois-
ferrous, and he uttered his plants in the loud
est terms.
The death of the child happened late IN
the spring, when, III the more inhabited
straths, sheep were abroad; but from the
blasts in that high and stormy region, they
were still confined in the cot. In dismal
snowy evening, the man unable to stllic ms
anguish, went out, lamcnting aloud, Tor a
lamb to treat his friends with at the 7eake
Funeral feast.) Atthe door of the cot, how
ever, he found stranger standing before the
entrance. He was astonished, IN Snch a
night, to meet a person so tar from any ire
quented place. The stranger was plainly
attired but he had a countenance express
sivc of singular midness and benevolence
and, addressing him in a sweet, impressive
voice, asked him what he did there amidst
the tempest. He was filled with awe which
he could not account for, and said he came
for lamb. "What kind of lamb do you
mean TO takc," said the stranger The
very best that can find, he replied, as 1t Il
to entertain my friends; and hope You vii
share it, do your sheep make any resls
lance when you take away the lambs, or an,
disturbance afterwards" Never was thc
answer. How differently am treated,
4 said the traveller: "Whcn | come to visi
my shcepfuld, take, as am well entitled t.
do, the best lamb to myself; and my ear
are filled with the Glamour of discomfort b.
these ungrateful sheep, whom | have fed
watched and protected" fIc looked up il
amaze but the vision was fled.

The following account of an extraordinary
instance of affection between male and
female Parrot, is extracted from Bingley's
Animal Biography.
A male and female of this species, (thc
Ethiopian or Guinea parrot) were lodged
together in a large square cage. The vessel
which held their food was placed at the bot
tom. The male usually sat upon the same
perch with the female, and close beside her
Whenever one descended for food, the other
always followed; and when their hunger was
satisfied, they returned together to the high
est perch of the cage. They passed four
wears together in this state Of confinement {:
and from their natural attentions and salts
factions, it was evident strong affection Tor
each other had been excited. At the end of
this perod, the female fell into a state of Ian
guor, which had every appearance Of old
age; her legs swelled, and knots appeared
upon them, as if the disease had been of the
nature of the govt. 1t was no longer possible
| for her to descend and take herfood as form
crly; but the male assduously brought it to
her Carrying it in his bill, and delivered it to
hers He continued to feed her in this man
ncr with the utmost vigilance, for four entire
months. The ih6rmaties of his mate, how
ever, increased every day; and at length She
became no longer able to sit upon the perch
she re manned now crouched ut the bottom
and from time to time made a few useless ct
forts to regain the lower perch; while tht
male, who remained close by her, seconded
those feeble attempts with all his powe
Sometimes lie seized with his bill the up

From the DnbfiU Star. .iop. Is.

HcMcHt.-Pcrlaps the whole history
of crime in this country furnishes no parallel
to the iniquitous case we now lay before our
rcaders-Ihe criminal is Mr.. !. J. PIN, a
young man about o3 wears of age; a connex
ion of one of the most wealthy and dstin-
guished mercantile houses in the kingdom;
a house III whose very name even SO much
responsibility centres that he who bears it
finds 1t not only passport into any society,"
but a letter or credit throughout the CONNER
cial world. On Thursday afternoon, the alb
scncc Mr.. PIN first excited fears that he was
party in the elopemcnt of a neigbor's wife,
beautiful woman, the mother of 5 children,
the Youngest of which is only a few weeks
old! On Tuesday night, it seems the guilty
pair hired a job carriage, and filled it with
trunks containing money, plate and other
vuluables. The lady, Mrs. Mowlds, had
not long been seated with her paramour,
when, according to the drivers account, she
bnrsr into flood of tears, and upbraided him
with his and her own crime. They took Il
route which inclines their respective friends
to believe that they had gone to Waterford,
there to take shipping for America. The
distraction of the husband of the unfortu-
nate young lady, mocks the force oflanguagc;
he left Dublin yesterday morning, accom-
panied by some friends, in pursuit--and other
parties are also i'll quest of the offenders in
various directions But the conduct of Mr..
PIN to the wife OF his conhding friend is but
ono division OF his enormous guilt He has
not only robbed a most respectable and once
happy man of his beautiful and accomplish
ed partner, and a nursery of children of their
mother, but he has awaited himself of his con-
ncxon with ono of the first mercantile fami-
lies in Dublin to obtain large sums from al
most every merchant with whom he had
been intimate Nav, he has induced the lady.
not only to dishonor her husband, but to rob
him of his money, plate and other property.
