PRINTER sToUR.-Two of the HERALD
printers, accompanied with two Phila-
delphia printers who were visiting them,
went on pleasure trip down the Della
ware river, on Sunday morning. They
started from the Landing at s o'clock, in
a small sail boat the tide running against
them, but the wind favorable, and went
as far as Fort Delaware, arriving ut said
place at 124 o'clock, after meeting with a
little difficulty in getting at the creeks
mouth, from the many windings it has.
This creek is about fifteen miles long,
and after passing out into the bay went
along smoothly. They went well pre-.
pared with edibles. They state the ma
tives of the fort were somewhat astonish-
ed at the manner in which their visitors
came, and treated them very cordially
during their sojourn. It will be remem-
bered that the day mentioned was very
windy and another passenger would
have been too heavy burthen for the
faithful boat, owing to her size. They
remained at the Fort until o'clock in
the afternoon, when they started "home-
ward bound" with hearty invitation
from their new friends to again visit
them. Neptune favored them with
south east wind, on returning, which
drove them along at very rapid rate,
arriving at the starting point at $50 in
the evening. The distance from the
Landing 10 the Fort is about 35 miles,
making there and return 20 miles. We
pronounce this very swift sailing, in
deed.

A ROMANCE OF THE BORDER
STRANGE HISTORY OF INDIAN
CAPrIVES

CAf IL Els.
On Wednesday last rather strange
looking party. might have been seen
perambulating in the streets ofour city; a
certain popularity in their, dresshnd gait
would at first have conveyed the idea
that they were Indians, but when their
faces and persons We're attentively ex.
amined, one was convinced that, al
though evidently fresh from an uncivi-
lized life, they belonged to the Saxon
race. The man had long hair flowing
down his back in tangle of ringlets,
but nevertheless singularly fine and
glossy.
He had an unkempt beard, almost con-
cealing rather handsome face, andlook-
ed about thirty years of age. The woman
was, p rhaps, lite older, and appear
ed, full of vigorous health, and had u
roughish but rather prepossessing coun-
tenance. The boy was about six years
OF age, with black, sparkling eyes, and
evidently possessed of no small intelli.
gence. The party visited the office of
the Chief OF Police, and during their stay
the following particulars concerning
their history were given, and in man
ner so simple that no doubt of their truth
could be entertained.
Tue mans name is Kimball, and his
companions were his wife and child. In
ls4S he was captured by the Indians,
when on his way to California, and car
ried into the interior. He was not trea-
ted cruelty, but his escape was careful
~ prevented, and years elapsed and he
remained still a captive. Gradually he
5came accustomed to Indian life and
half reeonciled TO its wild freedom and
savage accomplishments. After eight or
ten years had passed he met among the
Indians OF an another tribe a young
American woman, who, although not
only resident but thoroughly domsstica
ted among the savages, retained the
marks of her parentage.
Weneed not descibe the incident OF
their intimacy. Love vows are quickly
copsummated under such circulnstan-
ces, and in due time Kimball became the
husband of the Indian American girl,
and they continued to live among the

there are nearly forty of them, ranging from
Claudius to Maximus. DR.. Cullen points out as
peculiar the words tribeto and subject instead of
the Su6jecinl1S of the later forms, Vespasian not
having adopted the imperial plural style for
these documents. Dr. Cullen has paid much
attention to the archaeology of the Lower Danu-
