dog put on his trail. Operated uPor
by all the feelings Of husband and {
father, he moved onward with the
speed Of a hunted stag, and soon out
stripped the Indians, but the dog KEEP
in close pursuit. Finding it impossi
BILE either to outrun or elude the cub
ming animal trained to hunts of thi:
kind, he halted, waited until it came
within few yards ofb;m, and brought
it down, reloaded his gun, and again
pushed forward. Brvant's station was

ped for a moment, and again advanc-
ed. Fires could now be distinctly
seen, extending for some distance on
both sides Of Elkhorn creek.-The sta
ton was in view; lighted arrows fast
descended: on the roof Of the cabins

station was beseiged BY a large force,
and could not be entered at that time.
He paused-the cries Of his infant,
that he had again dashed to his back,
aroused him TO a sense Of his own dan
ger, and his wife's perilous situation.
Another effort was made, and he in ii
short time, reached the house Of a
brother, who resided between the sta
ton and Lexington, where he left the
child, and the two brothers Immediate
iy set out for his dwelling. As they
approached the clearing, a light broke
upon his view-hls speed quickened,
his fears increased, and the most agon-
lzing appreisensions crowded upon his
mind. He emerged from the cane
brake, beheld his house in flames, and
almost burnt to the grouad. MY wife !

Morgan arose; the two brothers now
made search, and found some bones,
almost burned to ashes, which they
gathered, and silently con-
,gned to their mother earth, beneath
he wide spread branches Of a vcnera-
BE oak, consecrated by the purest and

pages in the annals of FAC
tus, is that in which he SO eloquently
ind SO feelingly describes the return

lone, bearing the urn that contained ,
