..POPPED CORN -

One autumn night, when the wind was high,
And the rain fell in heavy splashes,
A little boy sat by the kitchen fire.
A popping corn in the ashes.
And his sister, curly haired child of three,
Sat looking on, just close to his knee.
The blast went bowling round the house,
AS if to get in twas trying;
1t ratified the latch of the outer door,
Then it seemed baby crying;
Now and then drop down the chimney came.
And sp'uttered aid Kissed in the bright red
flame.
Pop Popl and the kernels, one by one,
Came out of the embers flying;
The boy held a long pine stick in his hand,
And kept it husily plying:
He stirred the corn, and it snapped the more,
And faster jumped to the clean-swept floor.
Part of the kernels hoped out one way,
And part hoped out the other,
Some flew plump into the sisters lap,
Some under the stool of the br other;
The little girl gathered them into heap,
And called them ga ''dock of milk white Sheep
all at once the boy sat still as mouse,
And into the fire kept gazing;
He quite forgot be was popping corn,
For he looked where his wood was blazing;
Ke locked and he fancied that he could see,
A house and barn. bird and tree
Still steadily gazed the boy at these,
And pussy's back kept stroking,
Till his sister cried out, why, George,
Only see how The corn IS a smosi ingl
And snre enough. when the boy looked back,
The corn in the ashes was burnt quite black.
Never mind, said he, we shall have enough,
So now let's sit back and eat it;
II carry the stool, and you the corn
It's good-nobody can beat it,
She took up the csrn in her pinafore,
And they ate it all, nor wished for more"

ESCAPE FROM A TEN YEARS CAP.
TIVIrY WITH THE SNAKE INDI-

TIVIrY NITH THE SNAKE INDI-
ANS. ..-.
A man calling himself J. P. Kimball
accompanied by his wife. arrived in this
city last week, in destitute circumstances,
and was generously offered lodging and
board at the Pennsylvania House, by Mr..
Slime. Kimball related that he has just
escaped from ten years captivity with
the Snake Indians. in Oregon. HIS mar
rative is published in the Review. We
condense the main facts:
In l848, he left the home Of his iath-
er, Col. Newell Kimball, of Syracuse,
New York, for California, by the over
land route, in company with his father
in-law and three unmarried daughters
When the party with whom he was :rav-
cling reached Cbillicethe Valley, Oregon,
June Is, they were attacked by about
1000 Snake Indians, but defended them
selves for several hours, killing 800 indi
ans and losing 81 Of their own number,
leaving only nine men and four women
alive, who surrendered 10 the sava-
ges. a
They were then taken by the indians
to Mineral Springs, at the head Of Chilli
cothe Valley, where council Of twenty
four BRAVES decided that they should run
the gauntlet. The next day Kimball ran
the gauntle. twice, with half an hours
interval between each time-frst for his
wife and next for himself. The same
day MIR. Neil, his father in law, was al.
SO compelled TO run the gauntlet. but
was knocked down before reaching the
center of the two lines, when he was sen,
fenced to be burned at the stake, which
sentence was put into execution the
same evening, in the presence of the
party.
Another man of the party was like
wise burned at the stake, after which the
Indians proceeded to FauDdeer Valley,
Washington Territory. The captives
were washed in stream of water by
squaws untilit was thought the white
blood was all washed out of them, when
the chief adopted them as his children
From that time until fifteen months ago
they lived with the Indians, wandering
with them through different parts Of the
country. K:mball became their "Medi
cine Man." or doctor, and processes to
have learned many markable cures for
cancers, rheumatism, &c. How he e
nally escaped he does not say; but after
fifteen months travel he arrived in this
place last week, and expects to return to
N. Y. as soon as he can obtain the nee.
essary means.
His narrative is a strange one, and we
presume it is true. ..-a5 .-
