One Of the gentlemen present made an inef-

suddenly and called the landlord, who was
in another part of the room.
Landlord said he, you might have
made great deal more money with this
chicken than BY serving it up in this way
How so 2 asked the landlord, staring.
Why. in taking it round the country to

RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA AUGUST H. 1853 NO. so

second day they could commence rearing their
rude building. and in order that no time
should be lost in rendering the house secure
That night Mike, armed with his swate shil-
laly,' walked guard, and on the next morning
long before the sun had risen, the rearing of
the hut of the FanniuI family, was in speedy
pr ogress:
We will pass over the space of week, in
which time nothing transpred except render
ing the hut secure and building small stable;
and at the expiration of said week we find
the Hut finished. One door opening in front,
and four loop holes: two on each side of the
door. This door was made of logs, bound
firmly together. Theselogs were covered and
then checked with another layer, all driven in
with large spikes, WHICH were clenched firmIy
on the inside. The top of the Hut, fifteen
feet only from the ground, was covered first
with sills, hewn tolerably thin and fastened
down, rocks were placed in the insterstices,
and leveled tolerably well by forcing and CON-
pressing them between the slls; then layer
after layer of mud from the banks of the Ohio
was put on. This by being continually ex-
posed to the sun, became very hard and i'm
pervious to the heavy rains. In this manner
the Hut was succeed all around, making it
almost fire proof Two windows looked from
behind, right into the deep dell below them.
At the expiration OF this busy week, Mike
having his former instructions rehearsed to
him, was soon speeding through the gloomy
wood, to execute his mission. But we will
continue at the Hut awhile, leaving him to
pursue his journey alone.
AS soon as the Hut was completed and all
were in comparative safety, the tickle FannuiI
again took to hi odious and abominabIe habit
of swilling liquor, of which he had brought a.
long good supply.
Early one night, about week after Mike
had departed for the States, Murdant and Al
cora were seated outside the Hut, deplorine
the beastly intoxication in which Fannui ther
was, the faithful lover turned his head toward
the River and discovered what appeared to be
q flaming stick, coming from the very bison
of the dark and still Ohio and shooting will
lightning speed toward the Hut: and in les
time thtn is taken to record it, an Indian ar
row, flaming with combustibles, fell on the
hard top of the dwelling and rolled harmIessl,
to the ground Immediately springing forward
and stamping out the flames, Murdant ran ou
to the large, strong gate, and bringing it t,
quickly, double barred andlocked it. indians
were about it was certain; and though he wa
the only MN in condition to defend the Hu
he determinedto do it at all hazards
