moon was struggling through the clouds
and the tops of the trees, and occasionally
beamed through brightly. The October
winds swept lazily through the forest
and the distant howl of wolves was heard

when their suspicious are excited. Twas
old wise eyes in the next tree hooting.
Now they approach We took our ri
ilcs, and rested the muzzles on the edOe
OF the platform in direction of the lick u.
They came along, stopping to listen eve
ry few steps. There are four of them"
whispered one, the most experienced of
the party by the uncertain glimpse of
the moon, | see five" said |. lone is \

Now they gathered around the lick, the

spring, They dipt in their noses--we

and away went the deer. | snatchod an
apple out of my pocket, and dashed it
away IN the direction of his owlship, who
flew away to some other stand.
In about fifteen minutes we discovered
tbs deer stealing back. We crouched
down, and they again dipped in, we each
singing out one, and the word whispered

feet, and erdSh-}own-went the plat
form, and we heels over head, barking
my shins and spraining another's wrist.
The shrIl whistling of the deer was heard
for several miles around. Upon cxamin-
ing the ground, two were stretched on the
leaves. A surgical, professional cash
was made in the throats of both, and we
were not long in dragging them home.
They slid very easily over the leaves on
their backs, head first.

Adventure of II Ranger among tho Indians

We do not know that we can fill few
columns more proftably, than by relating
an adventure of our neighbor and friend
Mr.. THOMAS HIGGINs, as we have heard
1t from his own mouth He resides
within few miles of Vandalia, andre
ceives pension from the United States,
for his services. The following state
ment may be relied upon, for Mr.. Hig-
gins is man of strict veracity his com
panions have corroborated his narrative.
and his wounds afford ample proof of his
courage and suAerings.
Tom Higgins, as he is usually called,
is native of Kentucky, and is one OF
the best examples exiant of the genuine
backwoodsman. During the last war,
at the age of nineteen, he enlisted in the
Rangers, corps of mounted men, raised
expressly for the protection of the wes-
tern frontiers. On the Goth of August,

Ah-there is mirlh, life. and lollity in
your genuine husking party The husk-
ers ply their tongues as busily as their
hands while engaged in their pleasant
task. Stories are related-songs are sung
Jokes are passed--and soft words are
spoken Imagine 10 yourself, reader, the
SIGHT OF long row of fine, healthy look
ing girls, with glowing countenances and
bright eyes aud sweet smiles. Depend
upon it, there is nothing like sensible,
good natured romp of country girl-one
who will play "hide and SEEK and
"bind mans buff" with you, but who
would cuff your ears in indignation should
you address her in language which more
refined ladies would listen TO with COM
plalsance. During the process of husk-
ing, IT red ear of corn is found by any
of the ladies', she is liable TO receive kiss
from some one of the company. She, OF
course, hands the ear to her fayorite beau,
who readily understands the signal, and
acts accordingly. The red cheek is sure
to be redder before he leaves it.
After the task is finished. the company

ded, and after partaking of it, the parties

their pleasant amusement; and bright
eyes and fair hands no longer figure at a
husking.
