A Thrilling Incident.

The first settlers in Maine found, beside
its red faced owners, other and abundant
sources of annoyance and danger. The
majestic forests, which then waved where
now is heard the hum of business, and
where a thousand villages stand, were the
homes Of innunerablr wild and savag, ami
mails.
Cftrn at night was the farmers family
aroused from sleep by the noise without,
which told that bruin was s,ormng the
sheep pen or the pig stv, or was lasing Vi
oent paws on some unlucky caf-and Of
ten, on cold winter evening, did they
roll larger log against the door, and with
beating hearts draw closer around the fire
as the dismal howl of the wolf echoed
through the woods.
The wolf was the most ferocious, blood
thirsty, but cowardIy of all, rarely attacking
man, unless driven by severe hunger, and
seeking his victim with the utmost pertina-
city.
The incident which am about to relate,
occurred in the early history Of Biddeford.
A man who then lived on the farm now
occupied by Mr.. H, was one. autumn
engaged in telling trees at some distance
from his house. His little son, eight years
old, was ia the habit, while his mother was
busy with household cares, of running out
into the fields and woods around the house,
and often going where The father was at
work. One day, after the frost had robbed
the trees OF their foliage, the father left his
work sooner than usual, and started for
home. Just by the edge of the forest be
saw very curious pile of leaves. With
out stopping to think what had made it, he
cautiously removed the leaves, when what
was his aStonishment TO find his own dar-
ling boy lying there fast asleep. twas but
the work Of moment to take up the little
sleeper, put in his place small log, care
fully replace the leaves, and conceal him
/ self among the nearest bushes, there to
watch the result.
Alter waiting short time he heard a
VOLTS distant howl, quickly followed by
another and another, till the woods seemed
alive with the fearful sounds.
The howls came nearer, and in a few
minutes large, guant, savage looking vol
leaped into the opening, closely followed
by the whole pack. The leader spranG
directly upon the pile of leaves and scat
tered them in every direction. Soon as hi
saw the deception, his look Of fercenes
and confidence changed TO that OF the mos
ahjrct fear. He shrank back, covered tt
the ground, and passively awaited his fate
for the rest, enraged by the supposed cheat
fell upon him, tore him TO pieces, and de
voured him on the spot.
When they had finished their comrace
they wheeled around, plunged into tn
) forest, and disappeared; within five min
utes from their first appearance, not vol
: was in sight. The excited father presse
his child 10 bis bosom, and thanked tn
: kind Providence which led him there t
} save his dear boy.
S The boy, after playing till he was wef
r ry, had lain down and fallen asleep, and i
0 that situation the wolf had found and co,
0 cred him with leaves until he could brin
}, his comrades to the feast but himself lu
n nished the repast.

fered to accompany him TO the house
where his wife was sewing. Upon arriv-
ing there she said TO her, "Mrs. H,
here is gentleman who saw your brother
in California;" She appeared astonished,
looked at the visitor, but apparently did
not recognize him. He brushed back his
hair, and said quickly, "Eliza, don't you
know mew Mrs. H Immediately
swooned away, and fell on The floor. In
the same moment husband and brother,
both supposed 10 be dead, were restored 10
her. DR.. Has we have said, has re-
turned with competence, and the sup
posed widow, il is presumed, will no lon

The above statement, we are assured, is
strictly correct. Here is a scene in real
life equal in strangeness TO any TO which

CURIOUS DISCOVERY.

Ma. B. BANNAN AS some workmen were
engaged in clearing the ground near the old
Coal Mine, about mile east of Mt. Carmel,
on Friday last, (25,h ult.) they discovered
human skull partly covered by The leaves
Upon examining the spot they found the
bones of an apparently tall man, covered
with an inch or two Of decayed leaves, and
a growth of small underbrush. The bones
were considerably decayed, and must have
laid there many years. Traces of The hair,
of lgh, color, could be detected and por-
lions of the clothing, quite rotten, and filled
with the fine roots of growing plants. The

HOW MURAT MET Ills FATE.

The sentence Of the military commission

THE DAYS GONE by.
PENNSYLVANIA.

The bur,hen Of the worlds old song,
Must have its share Of truth,
Tha, the most honored life and long
Was happier in youth.
1t is not ouly memory's cheat
Tha; prompts the hearts deep sigh,
When, mid prosperily's defeat,
We think Of days gone by.
A feeling lost, we know no, what,
Sweet because underlined,
Replaced by knowledged sadly got,
The canker of the mind
A glory on the youthful head,
A brightness in the eye,
Hues of our native heaven are fed,
Among those days gone by.
Yes, o my friend, if this be sooih,
Ie, faint not, but be sure
The yam shed freshness of yonr youth
Was ignorant, bu, pure.
Heavens glories may again be won,
And, streaming from on high,
As alter moonset comes the sun,
Ou'shine The days gone by.
