AN INCIDENT AT THE FALLS.

We learn from correspondent at tha
Falls, that there was general turnout Of the
citizens Of that place, day before Yesterday,
to see live deer take the awful plunge
The deer was driven TO the shore Of the riv.
er about two and a half miles above the
Falls. Being closely pursued by sports
men and hounds, lie took TO the ice, and VEN
lured out so far, that the portion On which
he stood broke Of from the main body, and
iloaied out into the stream and was waited
down the stream very gouily until he reach
ed the rapids, when his irail support soon
broke in pieces, and he was left to struggle
for life in The mad torrent. lie finally sue.
ceedod 10 reaching snail island which na.
NY oil our readers may remember, near tho
! head OF Goat Island, and between that and
the Canada shore. no person has ever
been on the Island except when the ice
lodges around its head, and forms kind of
dam, which admits of hazardous passage.
| AT the present time the river is as open as
in midsummer.y yet Robinson who distin-
/ guished himself last summer by his daring
/ III rescuing Chapin resolved 10 90 over in a
boat and bring he deer Of. lie made the
attempt, but was moi able to gain the island.
Mr.. VIM. Conklin, accompanied by Mr..
Munger, then determined to 90. They
row1d out to the rapids below the island,
thinking 10 get into the eddy at lis foot, but
while cOntending with the strong current,
one oar brshe, and with the speed of a race
horse they were Instantly hurried towards
the brink OF the precipice. As they pas
sed over a small bar Conklin jumped ont,
and succeeded in stopping the boat, the water
being only about waist deep. After regain
ing their presence of mind, they started a.
gain, and by means Of their single oar and
pole, landed on Goa! Island just above the
Falls.
The deer still remains on his rocky isles.

Forida.-The Indians are troublesome
in the West-they appear to know eyerv
movement of the troops, and to evade them
at almost every point. A few days since
party OF these savages, about 80 in number
attacked a government wagon, which was
travelling with supplies in Gadsden county.
in the neighborhood of Carnochan's pianta-
ton, on the ApalachicoIa river; fred on the
team-killed TWO mules and wounded one
Of the men. A sergeant, who was with
the wagen, and two soldiers, defended
themselves, it lis SAID, with great bravery,
! and kept the Indians of until two maes
were released from the wagon, with the aid
of which the men made their escape.
A letter received at the Executive Office
from Major Bryan, of Marianna, states
positively that three persons were killed
by the Indians near Blonfs Town, on the
west side ofApalachicola 18th ult, doubt
less by the same party of Indians that al
tackled the wagon, Of which we have spo
ken.
From gentlemen just arrived from Apa
lachicoa, we learn of further dopredations
The Indians attacked the house of Mr.
Rowlet, situated or the bank OF tbe river
about twenty miles above the town OF Apa
lachcola--fred at, but missed Rowlet, VIII,
escaped by crawling under a house killet
a negro child, and actually carried OF, as
prisoner, Mrs. Hollis, and sister of Mr.
Rowiet
The people Of the West will, we sus
pect, be much harrassed by the Indians 70
some time 10 come. They are rayellin
Westward.

of Sherbrook, Lower Canada BY the dis
covery of a white child, supposed to be four
or five months old in the possession Of a
small party of the ST. FraAcis, Indians
The poor little creature was in a wre.ched

fashion, with piece OF raw venison in its
mouth which the squaw who had it in
charge had given it 70 satisfy its rayening
hunger, being herself incapable OF supply

infants Of that tender age.
The poor child was purchased from the
Indians by kind hearted Captain Adams,
who paid them for it Eve dollars and bar

It estimated that the parents are known,
