How Tecumseh was Killed

"Veritas" IN a communication 10 the
editors OF the Cincinnati Penny Press,
says:
OF late a statement has been
going the rounds of the press, purpor-
ting 10 contain a clreumstantial detail
Of the death of Tecumseh by the hand
of Colonel Richard NJ johnson. Il is
statement of Mr.. Isaac Hamblin.-
No doubt Mr.. Hamblin saw Colonel
johnson kill an Indian chief. but that
chieftain was not Tecumseh. Little
Turtle, Buchangehelas and other chiefs
of the Shawnee tribe were, after the
war, frequent visitors a, the house OF
the late General Duncan Macarthur.
who succeeded General Harrison, IN
the command of the army OF the North !;
and they always assured Macarthur,
that johnson did not kill Tecumseh.
bat that he fell covered with wounds
in the thickest OF the fight, and was
carried from the field and buried near
the battle-ground. Tecumseh, they
reminded their host, and 10 this fact
have heard several early pioneers bear
witness, always went into battle IN a
plain suit OF buckskins. with a single
coon's tail in his cap. The chief. who
was mis- taken for him and killed bv
Colonel johnson. WAS like many OF the
Indian braves. fsncifully attired and
decorated with beads and feathers. Ii
was of the skin Of this chief that the
Kentuckins made razor-strsps. But
the great chief rests peacefully in his
grave. undesecrsted by the knives OF
the white man.

Does The Noon Affect the weather.

Il has always been . favorite pref.
udicc that the weather 10 Influenced
in some mysterious manner by the
moon. The moon can be supposed
10 &C. on the earth only in one Of
three ways, namely: by the light
which il reflects, BY its attraction, or
by an cmanation OF some unknown
kind. Now, tho ligh, Of the moon
does not amount to one hundred
,hoassnd,h part Of that Of the sun,
and the heat Ii exci,es Is 80 small rs
TO be altogether inspprcciable by the
most delicate instruments or the
bss, devised experiments. No effect
can therefore be as,ribu,ed 10 the
moons light. With regard 10 the
st,rae,ion OF the moon, We see its In
iluence on the atmosphere; but when
there Is taken into account the
small specific gravity Of atmosphere
air, In comparison with water, and
the consequent sInsllness Of the mass
Of matter to be acted upon, IL 10
readily perceived that this inAusnes
must also bc extremely feeble. Az
