huts, OrnameDted with the scalps of their pa
rentsAnd friends, separated from each other,
did these captiyes spend the long and tedious
months Of winter, in n state of almost perfect
starvation. The Indians would never go

AS one morspl remained and then sometimes

indolent in their habits. they would only yield

The plan, If a good one, WIS good for all.
All were alike in Interest, and intact, had
no interest but. al fair participation in a
common benefit, except d few menwho ex-
pected to profit by making the bell and
furnishing Tire necessary accompaniments,
and another equal number who believed
that II the job were put of until another
year, they should have the doing of it. At
first the great mass Of the inhabitants see

Bot By degrees they divided in opinion,
and the more discussion ahase was, and the
more effort each party used to convince the
other, the wider they were separated. At
length the whole parish came to- be divided

The arguments in the case lost their point
as the partizans grew warm, and something
more pungent became necessary. Resort
was had 10 impeaching of motives, calling
OF namcss &c. &c. the two small interested
clans all the while taking the lead, and,
blowing the jfames with al their n,ight.-
Al length the party In the affirmative de-
tcrmined they would AT all hazards have
the bell. They therefore rugged up a,
wheel, and passed rope over by whichto
hoist it to its place. Then came the tug
for no sooner had the slack run down, than
some of tho .no-hell'' party seized hold Of
it, and calling their companions, would
