INDIAN CRUELTY.-i Thrilling Incident
An Incident occurred at the Key Biscayne
light house during the Florida war, which il
perhaps worth recording. The light house
was kept by Il man named Tompson. His
only companion was an old negro man; they
both lived IN a small hut near the iyht house
One evening about dark they discovered IA
party fsome fifteen or twenty Indians creep
ing upon them, upon which they immedilte-
ly retreaIed into the light house carrying
with them key OF gunpowder, with the guns
and ammunition. From the windows oil the
light house Tompson fired upon them seve-
raj times, but the moment he would show
himself al the window. The glass would be
instantly rlddied by the balls, and he had no
alternative but 10 lie close. The Indians
meanwhile getting out OF patience, at not be-
ing able 10 force the door, which Tompson
had secured. collected pills of wood, which

than three feet wide.
The flames now began to ascend as frop a
chimney, some fifteen or twenty feet above
the light house. These men had TO lie in
this situation some seventy feet above the
ground. with a blazeing furnace roasting
them on one side, and the Indians on the
other, embracing every occasion, as soon as
any part of the body was exposed, to pop a,
them. The negro, incautIously exposing
himself was killed, while TompsOn received
several balls in his feet, which he had rejec-

Nearly roasted to death, and in fit OF
desperation, Tompson seized the keg of gun
powder, which he had preserved 10 keep il

have met here, assured me of the completion
of this magnificent work early in '53. The
truth is, Evansville has no cOmpetition-nor

Evansville must ever continue the Key oil

rival her in this particular.
The same letter puffs up friend Drew OF
the Pavilion. Mr.. ID. is a very respectable

political ambition, which we fear can't be

head of big Hotel which we have no doubt
he would manage in the best style:
