Y ste day morning a fine appearing
man, leading handsome little girl. wel
into the depot at Cedar Falls. and
inquired the price of half fare tickets to
Dubuque. On being informed by the
agent that onl, first class tickets were
sold, the tears started in his eyes, and
turning, he walked away, almost weep
ing. The i'll concealed emotion of the
man attracted the notice Of Conductor
Cawley, who, following him our, asked
the cause Of his trouble.
The gentleman (for such he was)
seemed unwilling to converse upon t e
subject at first, hut the kind and persis-
iea, inquiries of the good-hearted Con
ductor at last touched him, and lie
told the history Of his misfortunes
Epi,omized it as follows:
Six years ago he, with several neigh
bors (farmers in New Jersey moved to
Minnesota with their families, aud se;t-
led about sixty miles from New U!m.
They cleared their land, erected dwell
ling houses, barns, &c, and in two or
three years had surrounded themselves
with all the comforts ef civilized life
obtained IN those regions. They bull,
a school Louise and employed teacher,
erec,ed a church md procured tic
services ofa pastor, and were a happy
aad industrious community. o. e
morning last summer, band offorty or
6f,y Indians encamped as was often
the ease, near the settlement. During
the day the Indians appeared friendly
enough, and brought Wild game and.
carrie Il il 10 several Of the families
-Four or five Of them came in to this
genRleman's yard and sharpened tseir
knives and tommahawks on his grind

and going from house to house told the
people that the day before the indians
/ had murdered all the settlers in his
neighborhood aud that they had better
ily for their lives. The men quickly con
venel, and after holding q hurried
J consultation, it was agreed to gather
the families il wagons and start for the
Minneso a rive. Accordingly, sup
plying themselves with blankets and
J provisions, the women and children
were put in wagons and the trembling
outcasts starred on their journey. Day
light came before long and looking
back over theprairie they could see the
Indians galloping towards them OF
their ponies, and away in the direction
of their once happy homes they saw the
smoke OF their burning dwellings

ensued The narrator was wounded in the
leg his right arm was broken, and his
wife and three daughters were mur-
dered. lie lay seycteen hours on the
ground, and then managed crippled as
he was, to make his way to the Mime

The Indians carried of his youngest
child, (the little girl with him, about
six years DID, and he had spent all his
remaining means in his endeavors to
rescue her. A short time ago she was
ransomed by Major Pattec, and he had
been to Fort Dodge after her. He was
now trying to reach his parents home
in New Jersey, but he had no means to
pay his way, and his crippled limbs
would not allow him to work.
This was his story. He told it in a
voice qniveriny with emotion, and with
the tears running down his cl ks. He
had lost everything and we'll educated,
manly and proud as he was, it was esi
DENLY with feelings. Of humiliation
that he let his destitute condition be
known But he had come across the
right man when he met Conductor Cav
ley, who inn, llately helped him into
the car, ana told him to rest perfectly
contented-he would take him to Dub
niac.
After the cars reached Manchester,
the noble hearted Conductor went
around among the passengers and told
them the s ,nlleman's story, and taking
up a collection, ga;he ed twelve dollars
on the train, and gave t.em to his
unfortunate passenger. When he ar
rived here, he was taken TO the Key

him by Mr.. Rlss. Mr.. Cawley also
gave him letter to Chasly Warren,

Hear what Mr.. Leonidas Ms:calf,
large kentucky STAKEHOLDER, has to say
about slavery:
1--WE have got onr eyes open at
,ast. We sec that they (slavesl are too
costly a lnxarv. Already a thousand
millions has been spent BY eael, side,
and a thousand millions will not pay
the destruction. which is thousand
dollars a head for every slave owner in
the United States. And more awful
vet, four hundred thousand OF our own
race have ben slaughtered or died Of
disease in this unrighteous Yar. Onr
Congress has spent 4 great part OF lts
time, since we have been nation, IN
wrangling over that question. Has not
time abundan,ly proven that we cannot,
have it and peace, too? The over
bearing tendency instilied into us by the
usage OF the institution, hanishes the
very idea oflberty, peace and progress.
Instead Of its being Gods institution,
it is his rod CT punishment--a thorn, .
fostering sting. Now is the time 10 rid
the world Of this banc Of peace. Let Us
not fasten upon the innocent unborn
this fruitful scheme OF injustice, strife
and murder. Leave no. a vest'ge of
the curse. The knell Of slavery was
rung in the bosom Of the deeptoned
cannon intended for the destruction Of
Fort Sumter but, like the boomerang
in the hands Of the snskilltul thrower.
