PHRIL,S OF TEIE R0RDER.

While reading recently an account OF
ahc ftightf@l massacre Of several white
families BY the Blackfoot Indians, we
were reminded OF thrilling event
which occurred in the "Wido West" a
short time subsequent to the ReEelu-
ton, in which highly accomplished
young lady, the daughter of a distin-
guished officer Of The American Army,
played an important part. The story
being Of most thrilling nature, and
exhibiting in striking manner the
"Perils of the Border,' We have GEN.
cluded to give an extract from it, as
originally published, as follows:-
The angle on the right bank of the
Great kanawha, formed by its junction
with .he Ohio, is called Point Pleasant,
and is place of historical note. Here,
on the WI Of October, 1874, during
what is kaovn as Lord Dunmore's War,
was fought one of the iiercest ard most
desperate BATTLES that ever took place
between the Eirginians and their forest
fees.
After the battle in question, in which
the Indians were defeated with great
loss, a fort was erected BY the victors,
which becan;s post of,great impor-
lance throughout the sanguinary scenes
Of strife which almost Immediately fol-
lowed, and which in this section of the
country wese continued for many years
after that establishment Of peace which
acknowledged the United Colonies of
America free and Independent nation.
AT the landing CT tue FORT, on the
day our story opens, was fastened a
fat~boat Of the kind used by the carly
navigators Of the Western rivers.
Upon the deck Of that boat, at the
moment ne present the scene to the
reader, stood Eve individuals, alike en-
gagged in watching group of persons,
rho were slowly approaching the land
ing. VI these five, one was stout,
Sleek negro, in partial livery, and evil
IDENTIFY house or body servant /; three
were boatmen aud borderers, as indica-
ted by their rough, bronzed visages and
coarse attire, bat the fifth was young
man, some two and twenty years of age,
OF fine. commanding person, and a
clear, opsA. intelligent countenance !;

BEGINNING TO TALK.-On a certain
occasion, We won't say exactly when,
the counsel took some exception to the
ruling of the court, (and we won't be
personal by saying what COURT OF a
certain point, and dispute arose. "If
the court please said the counsel, 81
wish to refer to this book for moment,n
and at the same time picked up law
volume. "There's no use Of you re-
ferring to any book" exclaimed tho
court angriy; 81 have decided the
pint" "But, your HONOR, persisted
the attorney-"Now, don't want to
hear any thing on the subject" yelled
the court, 81 tell you I have decided
the pint" ~ know that" was the re-
joinder, II am satisfied of that-but
this is a volume of Blackstone Pm
certain that he differs with your honor,
and 1 only want to show you what
great fool Blackstone was." "Ah, in
deed - exclaimed the court, smiling az
overflow you begin to talk"

Death OF a Good Citizen.

Our columns this week, says the Free

10 more than the ordinary number of rea.
dsrs both at home and abroad. In the
death of ANDREW KENNEDY. Esq. Presi-
dent of the Branch of The Valley Bank OF
Charlestown, and, since his retirement
from the bar, for several years one of our
most intelligent and efficient Magistrates.
tbe community has indeed lost an esteem.
ed. public spirited and valuable citizen !;
always prominent. liberal and useful in
Whatever promoted the welfare of society.
A gentleman he truly was in all the quail
tiles which adorn and ennoble human ma
turs friend Of the poor; and one who
well deserved the prosperity which atien-
ded him through life. Verify, his death
not only creates a void in his hitherto hap.
ply home, where he was all that husband
and parent well could be, but his absence
from the social circle and from the society
Of friends 10 whom he was endeared by
long association in business pursuits and
objects ofpublic utility, will be felt as
something almost irsparable. We can
truly say that We feel his death keenly,
and claim to be allowed TO mingle unaf.
fectedly our own tears with those Of his
kindred and intimate friends, for all have
cause 10 mourn.
