two soldiers from the Fort were passing along
the road, one Of them was shot while the other
was allowed to return to carry the tidmgs. Capt.
Mason, the Commander OF the Fort, understanding
that the Indian force was small, marched against
them with only fourteen men. lie was drawn
into an ambush of more than four hundred Indi-
ans, and most of his men were Immediately slain.
Capt. Ogal reinforced him with twelve men from
the Fort who shared the same fate. Out of the
twenty-six only three escaped, and two Of these
badly wounded. Girty, the renegade, was
among the Indians, and threatened the garrison
with instant determination if they resisted, but
learning the determination of the garrison to hold
out to the last, he retired. The Indians contin-
ued for some time in the neighborhood of the
Fort, doing all the injury in their power.
There is on record an interesting anecdote Of
a sister of Col. Zane, which occurred about this
time The Indians were all about the Fort, and
the soldiers were beginning to be disheartened,
as their ammunition was nearly expended There
was plenty Of powder at the house of Colonel
Zane, which was situated a few rods from the
Fort. and the maiden volunteered to 60 and fetch
it. The Indians were astonished when she set
out, and did not fire, merely excalmlng "a
squaw! squaw!' but when they saw her return
ing with her apron filled with powder, they saw
her object and poured shower of balls upon her,
but she fortunately escaped TO the Fort unhurt.
1t is said she had just returned from Phila-
delphia boarding-school. We doubt whether the
misses in these days possess the
spirit of their grandmohers.
At this time the town of Wheeling was vii
lage of not more than thirty houses; now it is
one of the most hourishing of our western towns.

THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH CASE.

FROM THE PHILADELPHIA NATIONAL GAZETTE, MAY 9.
| Yesterday morning Chief Justice Gibson read
the opinion of the Court onthe motion for new
trial in the Presbyt erian case. The opinion was
brief, considering the mass of testimony, and the
length of argument submitted bythe counsel sta
ting for the most part, merely the conclusions 10
which the court had arrived, without going INTO
the reasons leading to such conclusions. 1t de-
cided that the "exscinding resolutions" as they
are called passed by the general assembly of 1887
were not only constitutional, but also just; that
they were not to De considered in the aspect of a
did nothing more than dissolve the four synods,
which it was conceded the assembly had rightto
do that the act being within the power OF that
body, its reasons for performing it could not be
reviewed by civil tribunal; and, as the conse-
quence of all this, that the persons claiming to be
commissioners from presbyteries within the exscn-
ded synods, TO the assembly of 1888 had no color
of right TO seats in that body. Further, the court
decided that, while on these grounds the proceed
ings of the New School had been unjustifable,
they had been in themselves entirely irregular even
on the supposition that the excluded commission
ers had been entitled to Seats that Mr.. Cleveland
had no right to put question to the house; that
it was evident that separate organization was in
tended by the New School, and that the jury had
given verdict utterly inconsistent with the evil
dence.
Judge Rogers dissented from the opinion, de-
claring in few words his adherence to his origi-
nal judgment. A new trial was awarded.

The correspondent of the Pittsburg Visiter
furnishes the following "reminiscences relating to
the early history of Wheeling:
The Zanes, the first pioneers of Western Vir-
gnia, made settlement on the present site Of
Wheeling, as early as 1860. From that period
until the peace Of 1774, as was the case with all
the first settlers of Western Pennsylvania and
Virginia, and the adjacent regions of Ohio, they
were almost continually liarassed by the Indians,
who stole or killed their cattle aud horses, de-
stroyed their crops and murdered the settlers
whenever an opportunity presented. At the
time Of the Peace the settlers rejoiced in the hope
of respite from the continued watching which
was necessary to preserve their lives and proper
| ty. But an unfortunate event soon renewed all
the horrors Of Indian warfare. This event was
the murder Of the noted Chief Cornstalk and his
son Ellinipsco at Point Pleasant. The Chief
having prolonged his stay at the garrison, whittier
he had gone on peaceful business in the full con-
fdence of protection, the fears Of the son were
excited for his safety, and he crossed the river 10
learn what had happened 10 his father While
they were there news arrived that hunter from
the Fort had been slain by Indians lurking be-
hind the bank. Notwithstanding their protesta-
tons Of innocence, the Chief and his son were
Immediately put to death. Indian vengeance was
aroused, untold suffering to the whole region was
the consequence. The news reached Wheeling
and the garrison were warned to be on their
guard Nevertheless there was no appearance Of
Indians lurking in the vicinity. One morning as
