Of our land but has been taught the story
Of the singular courage and daring Of the
two little brothers John and Henry Johnson,
in killing two Indians on Short Creek, in
Jefferson county, Ohio, by whom they had
been taken prisoners. Henry Johnson,
whose death we are called upon TO record,
was the younger OF the W brothers. A

brought TO this place and inferred by the

however, that in her last sickness. which
was that OF dysentery, she did, with her
whole soul, seek and obtain pardon
through the blood of Christ. and the clear
est evidence Of her acceptance with God,
by the direct witness of the Holy SPIRIT
So full were her joys, that on the last day
Of her life she called the family to her bed
side. and exhorted them to meet her in
heaven. She threw her arms around her
fathers neck and begged him to try to meet
her in heaven; (may the Lord give him
grace TO obey the exhortalion;) and with
these sweet words still lingering on her
quiyering lips, she gently breathed away
her spirit into the bosom OF God her Sa.
