pa-The Tehoma California; Observer
relates the following q specimen Of
the experience of ladies n the frontier:
"Mrs Sarah Donelson is living in log
house on the trail between Red Bluff
and Hayfork, of Trinity with her chill
dren and her father 4 few days ago
her father went out hunting stock, aud
Mrs. Donelson was boxing after her
poultry, short distance from the house.
Suddenly Ave indians made their ap-
pearance. Mrs. Don.lson started for the
house, and was intercepted by two In
dians. Throwing item from her, .
third caught her by he shoulder. She
knocked him down, and, reaching the
house In safety, barred the door. The
Indians rested one OF moro rifles on the
window, leveled at tie woman, who ap-
preached him, took down her fathers
rifle and returned the fire Of the Indians
through the apertures or .chinks' of the
log house. On attempting to cock her
gun, Mrs. Donelson found that the
thumb Of her right iianu ia3 been shot
away by an Indian bul.ey out, using
her left hand, she ,oon had the pleasure
of knowing that her wOuldae ialrcerers
had retreated, wheher with whole hides
or not she could not tell. Ngsc4c, cour-
age and self-pOssession won a victory
one against five, and that one a woman.
We challenge the State to exhibit an
instance in Indian 6ghting wherein Q
woman has acquitted herself more cred
itably.

him; he smiled smile that was bene-

She blushcd, but said nothing till we
had passed on a step or two, when she
exclaimed, "Why, he is only q man, AZ

Something in the tone struck the
President, and he asked what she had

9.As Shutter, the celebrated CONNIE
dian, was once travelling to the north Of
England, the coach was stopped by q
highwayman, on Finchley Common.
His only companion in the journey was
an old gentleman, who, to save his mon
ey, pretended to be asleep.
But Shutter resolved to be even with
him; accordingly, when the highway
man presented his pistol, and demand
ed Shutter to deliver his money, or he
was dead man; Money" returned he
with an idiotic shrug, and a countenance
inexpressibly vacant, "Oh, Lud, sir
they never trust me with any; for nuncle
here, always pays for me, turnpikes and
oil, your honor" Upon which the
highwayman gave him a few hearty
curses for his stupidity; aroused the old
gentleman, and robbed him Of every
shilling; whilst Shutter heartily enjoyed
the joke.

following narrative, which has never
before been made public:
"When summoned on that sad night
to the death-bed Of President Lincoln,
I entered the room Is or 20 minutes be-
fore his departure. All present were
gathered anxiously around him, watch
ing 70 catch his lat breath. The physi-
clan with one hand npon the pulse 81

upon his heart, was iutently watching
the moment when life should cease.

pected. At last the physician said: He

four or Ave minutes there was not the

our positions, speechless, breathlcss,
aronnd the dead body Of that great and
good man.
"At length the Secretary of War, who
was standing at my left, broke the 81
lence and said, Doctor, will you say
anything:' I replied Il will speak to
God?' Said he, DO it just now
And there, BY the side of our fellow
chief, God put 1t into my heart to utter
this petition, that from that hour we and
the whole nation might become more
than ever fervent In our devotion to the
cause Of our beloved, imperilcd country.
"When I ceased, there arose from the
lips of the entire company fervid aud
spontaneous Amen
"And has not the whole heart of the
loyal nation responded 'Amen?'
WAS not that prayer, there offered,
responded to in the most remarkable
manner? When in our history have
the people of this land been found more
closely bound together In purpose and
heart than when the telegraphic wires
bore all over the country the sad tidings
that President Lincoln was dcad?'
