 at his side, caused him to look up, when he saw three Indians within a hundred yards of him. They being too numerous for him to encounter, he seized his rifle and took to flight The other two as he run fired at him without effect. The chase was continued for several miles by two of the Indians, who were the swiftest run ners. He often stopped and freed" hoping to get 6 shot, and kill or disable one of them, and then overcome the other at his leisure. His pursuers also s' treed, . and by fanking to the right and left forced him to uncover or stand the chance of a shot,
 He finally concluded to leave the level grounds, on which the contest had been l held. and take to the high hills which lie back of the bottoms. His strong muscu- lar limbs here gave him the advantage, as he could ascend the steep hiil-sides moro rapidly than its pulsuers. The Indians, seeing they could not overtake him, asa last effort stopped and fired one of the balls cut away the handle of his hunting-knife, jerked it so violently against his side that for moment he thought he was wounded. He immedi- ately returned the fire. and with a yell of vexation they gave up the chase. Flee l hart made circuit among the hills, and 1 just at dark came on to the river, near where the canoe lay hid. Springing on board, he paddled down stream. Being greatly fatigued with the effort of the day. he lay down in the canoe, and when he woke in the morning the boat was | just entering the Ohio river. Crossing over to the Southern shore, be in few days pushed his canoe up to Farmers Castle, without further adventure, where he showed the rich packages of peltry as the proceeds of the winters hunt, and displayed the brilliant silver ornaments as the trophies of his victory, to the envy and admiration of his less yenturous com
 panions.
