Seven Years 4 Prisoner OF the Black
feet.IndianS-A IGFFIble StOry.

/ On Tuesday last,a French boy nam
( ed BOuillOn Wood, made a prisoner by
I the Blackfeet at the St Cloud massa-
ere, in 1861, arrived at Mamistee, Mich
igan, on his way to his uncle at Grand
Haven. At this point he gained the
first intelligence of his relatives. He
tells the following story, and from 4
rigid cross examination, and the fact
that II Is the true story of St Cloud,
aud his beingable to infinitely describe
his uncle, there can be no doubt Of his
honesty. The redskins attacked his
fathers family, and killed all beside
himself and q younger sister. His
father, Peter Wood, was scaIPed and
tOmahaWked. His mother was rip
ped open alive, her entrails taken out,
aud her infant boy torn from her arms
and impaled on the pickets of the
fence. His two sisters, aged respee-
lively twenty and twenty-one, were
nailed By their hands and feet to the
wall, scalpe'i and aiteFward t3tha-
hawked. The boy BJuillun, then
about twelve years old, was eompell-
ell To witness the dying agOuies of his
mother, and tainted at the sight On
recovering, he found himself and lit
tie sister captives. The Blackfcet ear
ried them To the western slope OF the
Rocky Mountains, and, on arriving
here, cut off with a tOmahawk the left
arm of the boy, and with a knife cut
the girls ears nearly of, leaving them
hanging. This they did to mark their
captives. The boy was afterward cas- I
trated. Here the children were sepa-
rated and have never met since. He
remained under close surveillance un-
til the time of his escape, subsisting
for nearly seven years on raw
meat and Indian fare. At first, before
he understood their language, they
abused him dreadfully, but after he
acquired that to some extent theyl
treated him better. The medicine |
men tried to cure his arm, but failed, /
and the boy suffered with running !
sore until his escape, travelling along |
without = gun or other means of 1
securing game, and subsisting on |
herbs, roots and Indian potatoes, IN
til lac struck the first white settle
ment, Pixies Peak. Here he was
cared for and his arm Fe-ampHtated /
by DIR. Bass, who took his history, and /
IS writing his life for publication. He
made his way by slow stages, mostly /
on foot, TO this point, passing railroad 4
and steamboats,, yet unable to get pas
sage, as none believed him. Here he |
met with friends, and was taken
charge of by Mr.. Charles Paggest,
who ascertained the truth of his story, !
raised 4 purse and purchased ticket /
for him to Grand Haven. The atten-
lion OF Senator Ferry will be brought /
10 this case, and he will be glad to
have his little sister sought for by the
government. The boy is an honest,
simple Frenchman, and bears upon
his person the marks of his terrible
.O-tures. He wept when he described
he terrible murder of his people.
Hundreds more will have to suffer be-
iOre the government gets the true idea
If Indian hellishness and cruelty, or
earns TO deal with them as other
wild beasts are dealt with.-JlliUdlt-

:. Not one or Them ar, Sort. ;,

At 4 session of the Circuit Court of
Mississippi at a county term, the law
yers were in the habit of putting up
at q house of entertainment kept by a
buXom widow lady, of n very high
sense of prOpriety and great dignity of
of department. This lady presided at
the head of the table during meals,
and the place of honor at her right
hand was regarded as due to the most
staid, proper and elderly member of
the bar. BY unanimous consent of
the lawyers, Colonel b, 4 very
modest, discreet and pious counselor,
was selected for this distinction. Now,
though possessing many sterling
virtues, Colonel b possessed one
weakness, but it was not weakness
of the head or heart, but of the eye
lids. He had the habit of winking,
necessarily and invOluntarily, which,
with persons that did not know the
cause of it, left an unfavOrable i'm
preston OF the COlonel's seriousness
and sincerity.
When on the first occasion the
Colonel took possession Of the seat
nearest to 'imine hostess" his bland
and amiable expression and dIgnified
address created quite favorable I'M
preston upon her ladyship. The
soup was over, and the hostess began
| to ply the Colonel with various Tempt
ing dishes, all of which he accepted or
declined with I pleasant smile, and
with his invariable wink. At last it
was perceptible 10 the company that
I the hostess was cycling her distinguish
ed guest ratherinquiringly and signifi-
cantly; these glances were always met
by the Colonel with his usual smile
and wink. Finally, 10 the horror OF
the bar and utter annihilatiOn of the
worthy Colonel, the hostess slapped
the table Indignantly with her right
hand, and fixing her eyes very point
edly and fierce.y upon the object of
her wrath, cried out Mt the top of her
I voice:
"YOu sanctified, weazen-faced old
villain, I'll let you know Pm not one
! Of that ar SOrtr'
What might have followed this eX-
pIOsion of wrath il would he impOssi-
ble to conjecture, as the unfortunate
! = pOsseSsOr of the weak eye-lids decamp-
/ ed in haste from the seat OfhOnOr, and
he never after could be pursuaded tG
act the agreeable To buXOm widows.
