INDIAN HORRORS.
SincWs Of white Ven Drawn Out for Bow
S.Fl1gss

4iilEee
From the Plains correspondence of
the Cincinnati Gazette we take the fol-
lowing horrible story:
The Indian depradations continue
along the border, and every day brings
a new horror, themere recital OF which
makes the blood run cold. a few days
ago three men, DIR. Bard, Harvey
Morgan, and Mr. Mason, while on
their way from South Pass city to Wind
river, thirty five miles distant, were
attacked and killed by Arrapahoe and
Sioux Indians.
The struggle must have been des-
perate one, and the unfortunate men
10 doubt sold their lives as dearly as
possible, pools of blood and pieces Of
clothing being found in Varions places
where the Indians had taken refuge
behind the hills. Under their wagon
were found a large number of exploded
ghellsOf fixed ammunition, which had
been exploded by the white men, and
two pools Of blood, showing that they
fought after being wounded.
When found the bodies were all
stripped and horribly mutilated. One
Of the fore wheels rested on the
breast of DR.. Bard where he had
been put by the Indians and scalped
alive. His writings and struggles
had torn up the sod, showing that he
had been held under the wheel some
time before death Cnsued. Morgan
lay near the wagon, stark naked and
scalpod. The hammer of the wagon
hahheen taken outand the handle driv-
On into the temple up TO the shaft, COM
plotcly pinning his head the ground.
Il could. not be drawn out, SO firmly
was it imbcdded in the skull bones,
and il had TO he buried with him. His
thighs and back were cut open, and
slnews taken out for bow-strings. Mr..
Mason had an iron rod three feet long
forced in his person, and his legs cut
open to the bone and the sineuS drawn
out.-Most of these barJarites had UNI
donbtedly been committed v lille the
men were yet alive, and their suffer
ings must have been terrible. There
were other indignities committed on
their persons too horrible 10 relate.
As soon rs the news reached the
United States camp, Col. Bartlett sent
out Lieut.. Scott with thirty men and
Il wagon, who brought in the bodies
and buried them at Popoiage.

believed that there would be other
aspirants whose knowledge of public
affairs, age and experience would rem
der them far more competent than my
self to discharge the difficult and re-
sponsible duties that will necessarily
devolve upon each and'every member
Of the incoming Legislature. Questions
of the utmost gravity and Importance

Will have to be answered by suitable
legislation, and Will require, upon the

APEEP BENEATH TIE BLACK CAP.
AFearfuI Scene at the CaIlows.

1t has already been stated that at
the execution OF John Real In New
York on Friday last the black cap by
some mistake was not drawn over his
face. The New York Sta of Saturday
gives the following description of the
scene on the scfiold:
"When he arrived under the rope
he and the priests and Mr.. Stevens
turned around and knelt down, whilo
the deputies formed In front of the
policemen and revcrently knelt. A
fervent prayer was ol6rered OF several
minutes duration, amid the most
deathly silence, and then Real, the two.
priests, ard the deputies. rose to their
feet. During the prayer the execution
er drew out the moose and fastened it
10 the rope, putting Il rubber band over
the double hook to keep it from slip
ping. When the prayer was conclud-
he again stepped up and drew the
moose tight with both hands, so that
the knot rested on the bone of the
skull just behind the left ear. Real
turned red in the face while this was
being done, and his hands trembled,
but he showed no other sign of weak
ness.
Father Durmquet was then, mt 9:O9,

a dun thud was heard, and Reals body
flew up to the height OF six or seven
feet toward the right, and bounded
down more than q foot, the rope sink
ing deep into his flesh, and the knot
slipping like lightning around to the
hollow OF the back Of the neck. The

Ice CREAM.-We give the following as
an excellent recipe for making ice cream:
Fresh cream one-half gallon; rich milk
one-half gallon; white sugar one pound
Dissolve the sugar in the mixture, flavor
with extract to suit your taste, or take the
peel from fresh lemon and steep one-half
of it in as little water rs you can, and add
this-it makes the lemon flavor better than
the eXtract-and no flavor will so uni
versally please AS the lemon: Keep the
same proportion for any amount DESIRED
The juice Of Strawberries OF raspberries
gives beautiful color and flavor to ice
creams; or about one-half ounce of essence
OF extracts to a gallon. Have your ice well
broken; one quart of salt to pail of ice
About half an hours constant stirring and
occasional scraping down and beating to-
gether, will freeze it. The old fashioned
freezer will make very smooth and nice ice
cream.

ROAST BEEF.-A piece of beef to roast
for my table must come from the sirloin or
first or second cut. The third cut is near
the shoulder, and is not as good as the
others. A small portion Of the shoulder
blade is taken with the third cut, which
the butcher removes, and in its place neat
ly inserts a piece of fat, thereby deceiving
the uninitiated; but it makes poor roast.
Epicures require that beef and mutton
should be cooked rare. There is great
difference between raw and rare meat; raw
meat inside of roast will have dark
purplish color, while rare meat is of del
icate crimson. The plates should be very
warm when rare meat is served. Allow no
flour or fat in the gravy. Carrots chopped
fine, turnips mashed, and whole potatoes
and cabbage, are excellent with roast beef.
I never mash potatoes for hot roast beef or
mutton.

A Cooling DRINK.-As nearly every
person is inquiring for some cooling drink
during this hot weather, we give the fol-
lowing recipe for a refreshing and invigor-
ating beverage, which has been recommend
ed by an eminent physician. 1t is an effer-
vescing drink, but far better than soda
water, as the effervescence is much more
slow: Two ounces of tartaric acid, two
pounds Of white sugar, the juice of half a
lemon, and three pints of water. Boil
them together five minutes, and when near
L. cold add the whites of three eggs, we'll
beaten, with half cup of flour and halt
an ounce of wintergreen or other flavoring.
Bottle and keep it in cool place. Take
two tablespoonfuls for tumbler of water,
and add one quarter of a teaspoouful of
soda, stir it and then drink.

You ask to know why my hogs look so
fine, and what l feed them? They look
well because they are bred of the best stock,
and are well cared for. The sows are fed
on roots, chiefly turnips, potatoes &C., and
on pumpkins. When they cannot get
these | give them mixed feed of barley
and oats in equal parts and half as much
corn chopped OF ground together. Some
times bran is added. generally feed it
wet or scalded. find this the best feed l
can give them. A few turnips or potatoes
along with this feed, helps young pigs
wonderfully if they are penned up.

SEED WHEAT.-Select the wheat that
has made the best growth, and from that
portion of the field that has ripened first
and filled best. Keep the selected wheat
by itself, and take none but the best the
windmill will clean. Sow the largest and
best grain. To every ten bushels ponr on
gallons of wash, made of lime and I've

lime with this I've, as will leave it in n

bushel; if wet keep turning the wheat
until perfectly dry. This is the best mix
