An Indian Adventure.

The old exciting adventures Of In
dian times arc getting obsolete, but oc-
a good one turns up. Here
is something new from the Holmes
County Farmer.
Holmes county, in 1916, was the
hunting ground Of Indians, Of whom
"Scneca," the chief of a tribe Of that
name, was one Mr.. Jacob Almond,
now living in Coshocton county, then
lived about a mile from where Millers-
burgh now is, and near the Mile Pond.
Seneca became inimical to Almond,
but pretended friendship, yet Am
mond's knowledge Of the Indian char
acter enabled him to detect this hostili-
ty. Seneca told Almond that there
was a bear near Mile Pond, and want
ed him to 90 and help kill it. Am
mond consulted his wife, and she beg
ged him not to so, but Almond, think
ing he ran less risk by going with the
Indian than to take the chances Of be-
ing killed when not on his guard, ac-
companied Seneca each taking a gun.
The pond being narrow, Seneca took
one side and Almond the other. Am
mond kept his eye on Seneca, and saw
him get behind a tree, aud Almond
also got a tree between him and the In
dian, leaving his clothing exposed
Seneca aimed, but his gun snapped, and
while fixing the priming exposed his
head, at which Almond took deadly
aim and put his bullet through it.
Then crossing over, Almond stripped
some elm bark, and with it tied a heavy
stone to the Indians body and sunk i
in the pond, The disappearance Of
Seneca was an unravoIod mystery fo
forty years, when Mr.. Almond lately
divulged the bloody secret to the Audi
tor Of Holmes county.

away at his roll, now catching, now miss
ing it, some sezing a huge bite, while
others nibbled away desperately, until
their faces, shirts, and hair were full Of
molosses. Some, getting forocioua, seiz-
cd the string above the roll in their
mouths, and tore them down. But one
boy patiently ate all his roll, and he
was decided victor. About two dozen
oranges were then set ahoat in q hogs
head of water and were to be the prop
erty of whoever should take them out
with his teeth, unaided by his hands
The first who attempted seemed to be
an old hand at it, for he took a dozen
out successfully with the utmost ease.
This excited the cupidity Of another
customer, who, in his desperate cndeav-
ors to get the oranges, went into the
water over head and shoulders, coming
out like q drowned rat Between the
two, these village swains bore off all the
oranges. All the time these sports
we're in progress the greatest mirth pre-
vailed; and the people left, tired, but
Iiuvigorated in body, and certainly no
worse mentally than if they had been
cooped up in crowd listening to a
pointless oration, and its heartloss ac.

Out in Pennsylvania, few days ago,
at some celebration or other-where,
we have not the care to note-they had
quite variety Of hearty amusemonts,
which they enjoyed themselves, and
caused others to enjoy. They had all
the games with which we are familiar.
They had also a sack race, which was a
most amusing contest, A number of
Jolly fellows Joined it. Each man was
enveloped in a sack up to his neck, so
that he could not use his arms or legs,
and the whole distance marked out had,
of course, to be jumped over in this
way After getting on a short way,
the competitors tumbled up against each
other or fell over, and vainly tried to
rise again. One shreWd fellow, howev-
er, managed to reach the goal safe; but
it being found that his sack had bro
ken out at the bottom, the race had to
be taken over again. The second time
no one FELL each man bracing his legs
as far apart as the sack would allow,
and thus jumping steadily. The same
man who first won, did 80 again. Next
came a wheelbarrow race. -Four labor
ers' barrOws were manned by as many
men, whose heads were onveloped In
sacks to prevent them seeing, They
started at the signal, and ran against
each other, and in all sorts Of ways,
except one man, who, going up at a
brisk run, left all behind, and went far
wide Of the goal, so that at last he had
to stop TO know where he was. The
same shrowd fellow who won the sack
race proved the victor on this occasion.
Following this came the pole climbing.
No one could reach the top, men and
boys vainly essaying. One little chunk
of boy got two thirds Of the way up,
and then failed, but as he beat every
body else he was adjudged the winner.
The boys had also their amusements.
They Woro doubtless ludicrOus, but then
they were innocent, and created a good
deal of amusement They might not
suit Soborsdes & Co., who believe that
there is no amusement that does not
bring in the dollars, or which is not
accompanied by an owlish gravity
libel on Nature. Ono of these was the
roll and molasses eating. At either
end Of the elevated rostrum stood two
tall posts, with rope across the top
from which about a half a dozen smal
rolls Of bread hung dangling, each by
separate strings When the competi
tors were all ready, and their hands tieC
behind them, each roll was stepped il
molasseg, so that tho biting at il wal
fraught with the danger of getting be
smearod. The variety Of the mouth
opened to view Of the spectators wal
quite entertaining, Each fellow bobbo,

It has of late been repeatedly as
serted that the reign of crinolino is
drawing to a close, and the name Of
Her Majesty Queen Victoria and that
Of the Empress Eugene have been
quoted as authorities for the alleged
impending revolution in female Co.'S
tune. But those whose opinions are
founded on facts rather than reports
are disposed to believe that the change
will neither be SO speedy nor so com
plete as some seem to anticipate. AT
all events, it is quite certain that in
Paris those ladies who take the lead in
fashion, and who are distinguished as
les elegqntes du grande monde, evince
no symptoms Of any intention to dis
card either their crinolines or steel
hoops.

According to the London correspond
ent Of the Leeds Mercury, young
Charles Dickens, the son of the great
Charles, is going out to India to man
age an agency for the firm Of Barring
Brothers, in which, says the correspond
ent, he has long held a responsible post,
having been initiated into the mer-
chants craft by them. He has also an
other great friend in the financial world
Miss Burdett Coutts-who will back
him, it is said, in any per Sc undertak-
ings which he may think it wise to un-
dertako. So, without much speculation,
we may anticipate living, perhaps, to
sec tho great house of Dickens as fa-
nous in commerce as il is in literature
Doubtless his father could, if willing
add to his store, for current report says
! ho has made 10000 in the last ten
years.

WHERE MAcAULAY Is BURIED. -
Lord Macaulay was buried in Wcstmtn-
stor Abbey, not with kings or Knights
of the garter, not even with Stephenson
and Talfourd, but in Pocts-corncr, Or
tho south transit of the Abbey. He
lies at the foot Of Addison's statue, and
close to the grave of Isaac Barrow, one
of the great Trinity of Cambridge men,
Macaulay's own college. The historian
will not lie far off Camden-almost the
father Of English history-not far from
what remains of May, the historian of
the Long Parliament, and near to the
remains Of Johnson, Garrick, Sheridan
and Clifford, the Tory editor Of the
Quarterly Review, He lies facing tho
statue Of the poet of "Tho Pleasure:
of Hope" at whose funeral the noble
historian helped to bear the pail.

THE ATLANTIC CABLE. - The opera
tions for raising the Atlantic Cable will
be commenced, probably, in May, at
Newfoundland, it being believed that
the fault lies within three or four miles
of this coast, and the expense will not
exceed $4,000, which would be amply
covered by the recovery of even a por-
ton of the cable. The second fault Is
believed to be sitauted at a distance OF
not more than $50 or 200 miles (cngth
of cabIo) from Valentia, instead Of 27O
miles, as previously supposed. The ao-
tual distance from the shore to the
point in question is presumed to be on
Iy about 100 miles 1t is proposed to
manufacture new cable, about 100
miles long, and to splice it on to the
part where the main fault exists, pre-
viously ascertaiuing that a perfect com
munication exists with the shore. Even
should the expedition not succeed in
its main object of making the cable
speak again, a large quantity OF the old
cable may be recovered.

DEAF MUTE PRINTERs-The New
Orleans Picayune notices the fact that
the last report of the Louisiana institu-
ton for the deaf and dumb was print
ed by the inmates of the institution,
from the setting of the type to the
press-work. BY an act of the Legisla-
turc, approved last March, the Board
of Administrators were authorized to
introduce printing for the purpose of
instructing the pupils. This was done,
and the Board say that the mute boys
engaged in setting type and in press
work have learned with twO-fold the
rapidity of speaking persons under sim
liar circumstances; they are passionate
lily fond of the occupation, and prefer
engaging in it to any other of the rec
reations. Their teachers find that il
furnishes an important auxiliary to the
department Of instruction, as a good
scholar and a good printer can be made
of muto sooner than it would be pos
sible to render him either alone.

The American Eagle.

A boatman, while engaged in convey
ing salt on the Onondaga Lake, a few
years, since saw large gray eagle cut
ting his gyrations in the air, apparently
seeing some prey in the lake beneath,
In a moment he poised, and darted from
his altitude into the water from which
he was unable to rise. A continued
tapping with his broad and extended
pinions kept him from being drawn un-
der, and proved that his diamond eyes
had not mistaken their object He ap-
preached the land slowly, the unknown
creature below acting as propellant and
helmsman. The boatman grew inter
ested in the affair, and landed. The
eagle, on touching terra frma, showed
himself fastened to a fine salmon. Our
hero thinking it time to take his share
of the plunder, cut himself a stout cud-
gel, and approached the imperial bird
of Jovc, which, having his talons fast,
was unable to rise, advance or reccde.-
Three times was the club raised to
strike, but the noble bearing of the re-
gal bird, and his undaunted front, made
even the boatman quail, He could not
assault imprisoned majesty. The eagle
exhibited no signs of fear, but occasion
ally nibbled the gills Of his prize, and
Indignantly glanced at the intrusive
boatman At length the talons of one
leg became released, and, by dexter
GUS turn, those of the other, when he
scared away to his thunder-clouds on
high, leaving the much coveted salmon
to the boatman, who, on weighing it
found it to balance twenty-siZ pounds

SHOCKING CRUELTY.--An awful in
stance Of ingratitudo and cruelty has
come to light in Cleveland, according to
the Leader. A man named Willis
Graves has made a deliberate attempt to
starve his mother, aged &c, and in this
inhuman business was aided by his
wife. The ncighbors, alarmed by the
mysterious disappearance Of the old la
dy, Mrs. Graves, instituted an inyesti-
cation, and found her, a mere skeleton,
stretched upon a miserable bed Of straw,
in a squalid chamber, nearly starved to
death. She had lived on one meal per
day, consisting Of a crust Of bread, for
two weeks,
