twenty Steps oil, but in the act of walking No TO
The road; his brother, young man, riding on
horse back ANAL distance before, himself being
IN small open carriage, they both bid how do
you.do, 10 the Indian, who appeared pleasant and
asked tor Tobacco--they having nome to give him.
proceeded on without making any stop; that after
going two or three hundred yards, lie looked rounJ
and discovered both the Indians in the road and
coming after him; he observed OH his locking
round they both suddenly halted; that having 10
idea that they were hostile, lie paid no further at .
.eBlion, nor did he see them any more. He think.
he hadtra. elled three or four miles, when he was
surprised by the report OF gun aud the RECENT Of
The bali; he thrown forward in his carriage
and the horse started and turned a small distance
isomsthe road; hi, brother turning round TO
his assistance the horse brought into the road
again, he recovered his seat and found he was able
10 re.Ime the reins, and proceeded on. He saw
40 person could they tell from whence the gun
vas nred. The ball entered the back of bis neck
Il lille TO the left of the centre and passed out
through the right cheek. What will be the result,
If the wound, time must determine lie homes to
