A Brave WOMan.

L. Hessick, who runs pack train be-
tween Red Bluff and Hayfork of Trinity,
gives the particulars of a daring and muscu-
lar exploit, with Henry rife, worthy of re-
cord Mrs Sarah Connelson, formerly
resident of Red Bluff, is living in a log house
on the trail with her children and her father.
A few days ago her father went out hunting
stock, and Mrs d. was looking after her
poultry short distance from the house:
Suddenly five Indians made their appear
ance. Mrs D. Started for the house, and
was intercepted by two Indians. Throwing
them from her, third caught her by the
shoulder She knocked him down, and
reaching the house in safety, she barred the
door. The Indians rested one or more rifles
on the window, leyeled at the woman who
approached them, took down her fathers r.
file and returned the fire Of the Indians
through the apertures or "chink' Of the log
house. On attempting to cock her gun she
found that the thumb Of the right hand had
been shot away by an Indian bullet, but
using her left hand. she soon had the pleas
ure of knowing that her would be-murderers
had retreated, whether with whole hides or
not she could not tell. Muscle, courage and
self possession won victory, one against
fve-and that one woman. We challenge
the State to exhibit an instance in Indian
fighting, wherein woman has acquitted
herself more creditably .-Sam Francisco
