Brady was justly acquitted, / know, and
yet he will be judged guilty by many
who have rejoiced at his deliverance.

Indians were killed, Is question we will

9hat, in my opinion, public treaties do
not always settle private quarrels, and a
man may sometimes have a fight on his
own hook, without asking leave of the
big wigs. 1t was the settlement Of an
old account with which the public had
nothing 10 do. The last payment Of a
deb, long due. Twill now relate 10 you
one Of the incidents upon which Captain
Brady may have rested his well grounded
confidence in me. ~
Shortly before Wayne came ort on bis
last campaign, he and had gone to see
what The scouts we're about, and having
separated one day, after appointing to
meet at u certain spring, we had scarcely
lost sight Of each other. when l met a
large Indian on my path, W. both fired,
but he was a trihe too quick for me,
and broke my right arm. Being thus
disabled from reloading my rife, Of using
either knife or tomahawk with good
effect. had no means of escape left me
but good pair Of heels; but being much
weakened by the pain of my wound and
loss OF blood, | soon found that the In
dian, now fully aware of his advantage,
was rapidly gaining upon me, and when
he was in the very act of raising his arm
to brain me with his tomahawk, | heard
the report Of a rifle, andtthe s,und as of
something falling heavily upon the ground
behind me, when looking around, there
saw my late friend lying quietly enough.

Many journals in this country have per-
petrated variety of jokes at the ex-
pense of one Dame Parington, and the
Boston Post has said some admirable
things in her name, which have been
copied far and wide. In this way, many
have become familiar with the fame Of
that Supplemented old lady, who are ig.
norant of the circumstance which gave
her the notoriety she enjoys, aud many
others 90 50 far with their skepticism as

of the conduct Of the excellent Mrs

winter OF 1924, there set in grea
flood upon that town, the tide rose 10 al

upon the houses, and everything wa
threatened with destruction. In tn

Dame Partiugton, who lived upon tn
beach, was seen at the door Of her hous
with mop and pat.ens, trundling her mo
and squeezing out the sea-water, and Vi
gorously pushing away the Atlanti
Ocean. The Atlantic was reused. Mr.:
Partington's spirit was up; but nee
