Shaw-ben-eh, a Poawatamie chief,
who was at the battle Of the Thames
lately gave in the U. s. Hotel 10 this
city, through an interpreter, a full ac-
count ofthe Death Of this great warrior.
"Tecumseh was brave and cautious
man Ee had. however been wounded
ia the neck, and became desperate. He
though. his wound was mortal, and told
his warriors that, as he must die, there
could be no risk in his rushing forward
to kilr Col. Johnson. He did so, and
Shaw -ben-eh saw him when he fell,
His object was to strike the co'onsl with
his T omahawk before he saw him, and

colonel's head would have been ennder-

reached the full height to strike the fa-
tai blow. He described the eolonels
horse very minutely. He was very
large and white, with occasionally jet
black spot. Another Indisn in company,
whom Shaws bsn-eh said was but a boy
atilhe time ofthe. battle, interrupted him
to say that his main and tailwere black.
The next day he with many others, and
this boy went upon the field ofbatlle

Before JQdgc Oakley.

James Harper ct ale versus Horatio W'lks, I'm
A. Johnson, and M1s0n BIncr0ft,-This was IA
Issue from the Court Of Chancery, TO test the lega-
lily Of assignment made by H0ratio Wilks to the
other two defendants. The testimony on both sides
was very volumiaous, and the outlines of the case
have been repeatedly before the public. We shall,
therefore, give but very brief synopsis of the main
facts.
At the timo when the rage for speculation pos
sessed every capitalist in the city, Horatio Wiks
had just succeeded 10 his property, and became the
executor Of his fathers will and trustee for several of
the legatecs. Becoming involved in the revalsion
that ensued, he made an assignment in favor Of some
particular creditors to the exclusion of the Others,
and, it was said, in order to secure some
portion Of the proceeds Of the estate to himself.
The plaintiff in the present case filed bill in
chansery, and the utter has been in litigation for the
last three years. The question was to ascertain by
the decision Of court aud jury whether the assign
ment was fraudulent or mad in good faith for the
general benefit ofthe creditors.
The jury, after patient investigation aud in ac-
cordance with the charge Of the court, found
pct affirming the issue from the court of chancery,
and tainting the assignment with fraud from its -
cipiency.
