which the superior virtues of this medicine have
been tested, has fallen under our observation.

sual demonstrations OF savage rejoic-
ings. 10 this Cornplantcr consented.
The flames that had been kindled we're
extinguishcd, and the prisoners again
bound to the trees.
In the meantime Brady, for it was
he who had deceived the willy Indian,
with body Of men moved silently up
the river to aplace known as "Truby's
Rifle" and there fording the river,
drew his men up across the neck of the
bend, and moved noiselessly downupon
the savagcs. SO cautious was his APP
proach that the Indians were complete
ly cut off from retreat before they be-
came alarmed.
Brady's men hcmmed them in from
behind, while the Allegheny..rolled in
front. The first intinlation to the saw
ages of his approach was communicated
by deadly discharge from his uner-
ring rifles. The Indians fought with
desperation, but were overpowered; all
were killed or taken prisoners save the
chief Cornplanter, who finding himself
alone, plunged into. the river, andswam
Tor the other shore.
Being a good swimmer, he remained
several minutes under water, but as he
rose for breath, he was greeted by u
shower Of bullets. In this way, alter
natcly swimming under water as long
as he could hold his breath, and then
rising to the surface, he escaped I'M
hurt, and reached the other shore in
safety, and sccrctcd himself behind q
large standing rock.
The prisoners were of course unbound
and all joined in the jollifcation and
joy at the unlocked for release. The
rock that shielded Cornplantcr from
Brady's bullets was pointed out to me
by the old Indian in areccnt trip down
this river. 1t is known as the = Corn
planters Rock" The old Indian gave
me the story with u sad and detected
countcnancc in broken English.
"Alas! what a changed" where then
the shccny tide Of the bcauteous Ale
gheny parted only to the swift skim
ming birchen canoe, and echoed to the
wild voices that como out of the dense,
dark forest, now is heard the shrill
whistle Of the steam-pipc, and the rush
ing Of the mighty steamer. Where
the tawny savage then rcclincd upon
the shady banks from his pursuit of the
deer, the panther and the bear, or rest
cd from the. war path, is now the scene
Of life and activity.
The tall old forest has rccodcd from
before the advances Of civilization, and
given place to farms, beautiful villas
and bustling towns. The Indian, too,
has passed away; but few, and they
but miserable, dccaying relics of what
they once were, are now occasionally
seen, the descendants of the proud race
that once could call these hills, and
groves, and rivers, all their own. Alas
in the language Of the poet:
Chcltains and their tribes have vanished,
Like the thick cts where they grow.n
