inches, and brought the animal at full

ering his feet, he again fell, but finally
rose, made jump, and stood-his eyes
flashing and showing symptoms of
great fright. He was seized and led
TO the front door, upon reaching which
he ran off at full speed, and we have
not since heard of him. How we es.

Effects Of Trath.te!Hng.-We once
heard the editor of a daily Journal in
this city say, that he had never told a
wholesome truth in his paper that did
not cost him eight dollars. If he at
tackled a corporation, some one of
its directors would favor him with a
laconic note to the following purport
-"Stop my paper" Ifbe spoke well
of corporation, some enemy to cor
porations would initiate the example,
and send him word, "stop my paper"
If he said word that squinted at fa-
voring the abolition cause, he would
hear ''stop my paper" from some mem.
Der OF the colonization society; and il
he whispered word against it, he
would hear the same thing from some
body on the opposite side. In fine,
his position was as bad as that of the
boys in Front street about forty years
ago. If they were caught below Mar
ket street, they were in danger, in the
border wars Of that day, of being peIt.

The steamboat William Parsons was

perhaps, her engine. The cargo,

INDIAN cEMETERY.-A singular cave
was discovered few days since, among
the cliffs on the bank of the Ohio nearly
opposite Steubenville ; which, when first
opened, was nearly full of human skele-
tons.-Among those relics of mortality,
were found stone pipes. arrow-heads, and
pots of some composition, the component
part of which is apparently ground mus
Gle shells. The articles found with the
skeletons clearly indicate that they be-
longed to the aborigines of the country,
and it is more than probable TO the Min

srous tribe, who, within the recollection
of some individuals still living, had Sc.

chieftain of the Mingoes, will add an
additional interest to the discovery of
this cemetery of that much injured and
now extinct tribe.
The cave is within large rock, which
is detached from, and at the base of the
cliffs. The rock is about / 5 feet in hight
and recedes from the base to the top, at
an angle of about 60 degrees. The aper-
ture, or entrance to the cave is circular,
about Fl feet in diameter,& is at the base
of the rock on its west side. The cave
presents the appearance of an arched
vault. So regular and perfect is its confor-
nation, that many of those who visited
it were not satisfied, until they had made
a close examination, that it wss not the
work of art. 1t is between thirty and
forty feet in circumference. Gifts hight
