From the Casket. THE DIES ERTED CHILDREN.

REAL INCIDENT.
 In the autumn of 1893, man was descending the Ohio river, with three small children in canoe. He mad lost his wife; and in the emgrating spirit of our people, was transporting his all to a new country, where he might again begin the world. Arri- wing towards evening at a small island, he landed them with the intention ol cncampins for the night. Alter re- maiaing short time, he determined to visit the opposite shore, for the purpose, probably, ofpurchasing provisions; and telling his children that he would soon return to them, he padded off, leaving them alone onlhe island. Unfortunate ly, he met on the shore with some loose company, who had invited him to drink. Hebeeame intoxicated; and in attempt- ing to return to the island in the right, was drowned. The canoe hoated away, and no one knew of the catastrophe un- ii the following day
 The poor, deserted children, in the meanwhile, wandered about the unin- habited island. straining their little eyes to get a glimpse of their father. Night came; and they had no fire, nor food no bed to rest upon, and no parent 10 watch over them. The weather was extremely cold, and the eldest child, though but eight years of age, remen. bered to have heard that persons who sleptin the cold, were sometimes chilled to death. She continued, therefore, to wander about; and when the younger children were worn out with fatigue ael drowsiness, and ready to drop into slum- Der, she kept them awake with amusing or alarming stories. At last, nature. could hold out no longer. and the little ones, chilled and aching with cold. threw themselves onthe ground. Then their sister sat down; and spreading out her garments as wide as possible, drew them on her lap, and endeavored to impart the warmth of her own bosom as they slept sweetly on her arms.
 Morning came, and the desoiate ehl. dren sat on the shore, weeping bitterly. Atlength, thev were filled with joy, by the sight of a canoe approaching the isl and. Bnt they soon discovered that il was filled with Indians: their delight was changed into terror, and they fled into the woods. Believing that the sav- ages had murdered their father, and were now come to seek for them, they erouched under the bushes, hiding in breathless fear, like a brood of oung partridoes.
 The Indians having kindled fire, sat down around it, and ocean to cook their morning meal; and the eldest child, as she pecpej out from her hiding place, began to think that they bad not killed their father.s She reflected, too, thai they must inevitably starve, if left on this lone island; while, on the oth- CT hand, there was q possibility of be ing kindly treated by the Indians. The cries, too, of her brother and sister. Ayhq had been begging piteously for

the frontier settlements
1.-The British band of Sac Indians did rendez'
vous at old Fort Madison, and induced great
many of the young men to join them at their ar.
rival at the Yellow Banks. They crossed ABOUT
500 horses into the State of Illinois, ano sent
about seventy horses through the country towards
Rock River; the remainder, some an horseback.
the others in canoes, in fighting order, advanced
up the Mississippi, and were encamped yester.
day, five or six miles below Rock River. aud Will

the Rock River swamps, if they are not inter-
rupted. From every information that have re-

British band of Sac Indians is to commit depre-
datons on the inhabitants of the frontiers.

BosroN, April 50.-Two recent trials have Ia
ken place in the District Court of the United
States. in this city, Of much Importance to the
commercial and maritime class of our citizens
One was an action of debt, in the name of the
United States. against the master OF ship and
his surety, On what is called the Seamen's Bond,
given at the Custom House at the clearance. to
return all the crew, which master is Obliged to
do. unless discharged in foreign port with con-
sent of the American consul, or deceased, or
absconded. or ve impressed. The Court decid-
ed that the bmfhen Of pro, i was on the captain to
prove one OF the four Qualifications for not bring
inv back his whole crew. and the Bond, 400 dol
lars, was forfeited unless he clearly made out
one of these excuses in relation to any man not
brought back.
The defence in this case was, that the man alb
sconded-and the facts proved were, that the
vessel being ordered to sail from Hamburg IN Ju-
ly last. at two of the clock in the morning, the
crew IN the afternoon before. received a few dol
lars To buy few necessaries. and went on shore
for that purpose, for which they had leave:
some of them overstaid their time, and did not
return that night The ship was detained, and
remained until thelnext day at two O'Clock, when
she sailed, the captain, mate, and police having
hunted for their sailors in vain. 1t was holden
that this was no absconding; that leaving their
clothes on board, and showing an eagerness to
join the ship after she had sailed down the river,
demonstrated it was only that needless mpru-
deuce aud fondness for dissipation which seem ma
ural TO sailors, and that the captain should have
waited longer period, or obtained the consent
of the American Consul to proceed on his voyage
without them, and that mere overstaying time.
Rot exceeding torty-eight hours, was not abscond'

FoRr ARMSTRONG, April IS, 1882
DEAR SIR: The band of Sacs under Black
Hawk, Joined by about one hundred klckapoos,
and few Pottawatamies. amounting in all to
about five hundred men, have assumed hostile
attitude. They crossed the Mississippi at the
Yellow Banks, on the 9TH inst. and are now moy-
ing up on the East side Of Rock River, towards
the PROPHETS Village
The regular force under my command is too
small to Justify me in pursuing the hostile party
To make an unsuccessful attempt to coerce them,
would only irritate them to acts of hostility on
the frontier, sooner than they probably contem-
plate.
Your own knowledge of the character OF these
Indians, with the information herewith submitted,
will enable you to Judge OF the course proper To
be pursued. think the frontier is in great dan
ger, and will use all the means at m! disposal
to cooperate with you in its protection and de
fence.
With great respect,
Your most obedient servant,
H. ATKINSON.

have gone to the Prophets Town, on Rock River

low the mouth Of Rock River, within the limits OF
the State of Illinois. That those Indians are
hostile to the whites there is no doubt; that they
have invaded the State Of Illinois. to the great
injury of our citizens, is equally true; hence 1t
is that the public good requires that strong as
we'll as speedy measures should be taken against
Black Hawk and his followers.
