by, and when they find it, be it ever SO
rough in the bark, they catch upon it.
And instances are not wanting of those

the feet of a genuine hero, who never
wooed them, except by heroic deeds and
the rhetoric of noble life. aHGs ad3

A young man is now stopping at the
Key City House, by the name OF George
w. Porter, whose parents, brothers,
sisters and relatives were all murdered
at Redwood, Minnesota, in the great In
dian massacre of 1851. He is the sole
survivor, and was the only one left to
communicate the mourntui intelligence
10 the nearest settlement. Berett in one
brief hour Of all that. he held dear on
earth, and the victims OF savage terocity
extended in death before him, he took
solemn VOW of vengence. How well he
has performed that VOW, the reader may
judge VIII IL we state that in six years
young Porser has, alone, and with the
assistance Of nothing but his trusty rifle,

eight notches are now to be counted on.
the piece of cane alluded to, the last one
being on Christmas, 1856. Surely
young Porter has been an avenging
Nemesis on the footsteps of those who
have slaughtered his kindred. The In
dams killed embrace representatives

His body mas been riddled by II bullets
and slashed in thirty-three pla ;es by the

out victorious, and now exhibits with
pride the trophies of his power. Truly,

friend is, at times, a greater annoyance
than wise enemy, You'll not sweeten
your mouth by saying "honey." If a
man would live lin peace, he should be
