 Frontier ipcldeu.-Some time in the spring of tine year 1915. Samuel Ce- eli, residing on Station Camp Creek. then thought 10 be in Wayne county Kentucky, but now Tennessee. was ab. sent in the mountains. lis wife beipe out oi meal, started to q neighbor's to borrow sones but first securely closing and barring the door, leaving three young children in the house, the oldest girl and two youngest boys for safety during her absence. She took two Of the oldest children with her to heEp ber carry the meal, and bear her companx Shortly after her departure her bus. band returned, unbarred the door, and being warm and fatigued, laid down and fell asleep. The three young children getting at liberty, pursued the tracks U their mother. She shortly returned. found her husband at home fast asleee. and the children missing; she awoke her husband and informed him of the circumstances; they immediately pur- sued the track of the children, followed them to the crossing of Station Camp Creek, but could make no discovery. The neighbors in this thin settled part of the country being informed of the circumstances, united in the hunt for nights and days; the waters, the eddies. and drifts, the mountains, cliffs and val leys, were all explored and searched by the mother, father, and neighbors. but ali lnvain. The bcreaved parents were almostinconsolable. At one time they thought the children in attempting to cross the stream, were drowDedan and had drltted; then that some ravenous beast ;iad devoured them; at another time. that they had perishe<i .xith hunger. cold and thirst; or that some wicked persons, or perhaps some skulking indi- aas, might have stolen or kidnapped them-but all was mystery and uncer- tainty with the grieyipg parents and anxious neighbors.
 About eight or ten days past, the old est boy of the three children, now q young man, presented himself at home before his parents, announced his name and told the circumstances. Imagine to yourself how lost in astonishment and anxious feelings were the parents; they listened with eager ear to hear of the other two. When kidnapped he was only 1 years old, and could tell but little of the circumstances; all he knew was, thatseyen of the Cherokee Indians came across them, and took him, his sis ter and brother, and bore them off: that the youngest brother, unable to bear the fatigue, and fo. want of milk, or proper food, perished on the road; that they were taken to the Indian country. thence carried to the Arkansas, beyond the Mississippi. From his sister he learnt his name, and something of the country from whence they were taken. and by inquiries, had been able to reach his father and mothers house. His sister was living, and was married a few days before his departure to Spani- ard, q great distance oH.-Ren. .freus.

Nor do believe that .tere has ever been hls superior amongst men; and all the heroes Of antiquity must appear insig- niflcant, when compared with him. ex- cept perhaps Aristides and Cincinna- tus; and to show that men eminent for their eander, integrity, and other good qualities, have thought as l do, l give an extract of a letter received by me from the late Hon.

 Every body remembers the fable of the wagoner, who, when his wagon got stalled upon a road, before turnpikes were inverted, called upon Hercules to help him. But notwithstanding we all remember the story, yet few of us follow the wholesome advice given upon that famous occasion, of putting our own shoulders to the wheel. The following, however, is a laudable exception to the common practice, and it shows what can be done when Hercules will not as- sist.

 Ihe Maysulic and Lerington 7arn- pike.-Last week five additional miles of road, extending through the village of Mayslick, was offered for the bids of contractors; andw arc much pleased to learn that the competition al the sales was so great, that contracts were made at much below the estimates of the Su- perintendent. This addition will ave- rage about S5OOO per mile at its com pletion, and considering the great d. mount of grading and other natural ob- stacles, it is thought to be a great reduc- ton in the average cost of construction, when compared with contracts previous ly made. This addition of five miles makes in all fhirty-one miles of the road that has been located and put under contract, about one half the distance be. tween this place and Lexington, five miles of which will be entirely finished in this month, and throughout the re mainder of the line the contractors gen orally have already commenced active operations.
