"A correspondent orlho Mckinney
Enquirer writing from Decatur,
Wise County, undor dato of March
10Th, gives the following particulars
Of nm Indian raid aud fight In that
county:
Last Saturday night seven In
dians stole from one of our citizens,
! John Thompson, who lives on the
west side of the West Fork of the
Trinity, near the road leading from
this place TO Jacksboro,) two horses;
then passing down thcriver through
what is here called the Salt Lake
Valley, beyond tho West Fork, to
near Mr.. Matthias residence, on
Salt creek, in the South INVEST por.
ton of this county, where II number
of persons had congregated for
church. From this last place few
citizens, armed with siX.shootcrs,
pursued-and about one o'clock,
(as we are told, overlook them. A
fight ensued, which resulted in the
wounding of three men; John and
Matthias, ard James Saunders-the
latter MORALLY, and has since died,
The fight must have been badly
managed, We are told that there
were ten men present at the fight,
and surely that numbe Of men,
armed even with six shooters alone,
and so well accustomed to their use,
as most all frontiersmen arc, ought
most assuredly to have whipped
seven Indians armed with bows and
arrows.
Indeed, we are told that some of
the men utterly refused to go into
the fight. Let such hide themselves
with shame. The blood OF Jim
Saunders, who has lost his life by
their cowardly act, cries from the
dust against all such. A frontiers
man says to such, go and hide your
selves, yc towards, in some pcnt up
city, where you will be safe from
the sight of the savage monster
we want no such on the frontier.
However, hope that their con-
duct is not as bad as represented,
and that we arc wrongfully inform
ed. No injustice is intended in this
scroll, upon any one who did his
duty-but too much cannot be said |
of one who would abandon his COM
rade' to the mercy of heartless
Indian.

of teeth-cutting, during which her mater
nal anxieties were never appeased. Then
she lived in fearsof the measles, whooping-
cough and scarlet fever, till the young hero
met and conquered them all. He grew
round and rosy-she thin and anxious, but
still unalterably patient. At school she
feared he.might study too much or too lit
tie, and as her fears were pretty equally dl-
vided between the two perils, 1t IS pre-
sumed that he avoided both.
Then she had general misgivlng that
he would be spoiled, and from too much
petting at home become an indolent and
useless member of society. But, though
the reader may share her fear in this re-
gard, Master Jones falsified them all. In
diligence and opportunity seemed to agree
with him. He was ambitious and self-reli-
ant, and not objectionabiy willful. When
at last he decided to study for profession,
the mother fitted out his wardrobe with re-
luctant cara and the first letter she re-
ceived from college was moistened with

maternal tears.

How to Burn Coal.

Nine out of ten who attempt to burn
coal IN stove, waste about as much coal
as is necessary to be consumed for obtain
| ing all the heat desirable. Observe the fol-
lowing simple rules, suggested by cotem-
porary, and few who adopt the burning of
coal will return to wood fires. Suppose
the stove to be cleaned out
| First-To Make Coal Fire.-Put in a
| double-handful of shavings, or use kin
dlingwood instead. Fill the earthen cavi-
ty (if the stove has one) nearly full of
chunks of dry wood-say four, five or six
inches in length. On the t9p put about a
add about twenty Jumps more of coal AS
soon as the wood has burned out, fill the
cavity half to two-thirds full of coal. The
| fire will be good one. The coal will, by
| following these directions, become thor
oughly ignited sI tg4dH
SecoRd-Never fill a stove more than
half or two-thirds full of coal, even in the
coolest weather 81 ef
Iaird-When the fire is low, never shake
the CRATE or disturb the ashes, but add from
ten to fifteen small Jumps of coal, and set
the draft open. When these are heated
through and somewhat ignited, add the
amount necessary for a new fire, but do
not disturb the ashes yet let the draft be
open half an hour Now shake out the
ashes. The coal will be thoroughly ig-
nited, and will keep the stove at high heat
from six to twelve hours, according to the
GOODNESS of the weather.
Fourtb-For very Cold Weather-After
the fire is made, according to rules first and
third, add, every hour, twelve or twenty
Jumps of coal You win find that the ash
es made each hour will be in about that
rate. 't'a
