ment and commotion. Sandivere was
certain that his runner had been foully
dealt with, and in his anger made prepa-
rations for summary vengeance. Twelve
0 clock, and no runner in sight as far as
the eye could reach.
Carson thought his hour had come, as
preparations were made; and, we'll
knowing the terms would be complied
with, he called Sandivere and told him
he would like TO have talk with him
before he and his men were shot. Car
son and Sandivere commenced their
talk, Carson in the meantime walking
slowly and leisurely from the camp, tell
ing the chief that the horses, saddles,
blankets, ETC., were all donated or willed
to him, the great chief, and that he was
not compelled on account Of this dona-
ton to divide them among his warriors.
The chief was much interested and
pleased with this donation, and by this
time they were eighty or one hundred
yards from the Indian camp when Car
son, with the dexterity Of an old noun
taineer, pulled from his boot leg an
ugly-looking holster pistol, cooked and
presented it directly at the face of the
old chief, exclaiming;
" Stand, sir, you are prisoner.
"What do you mean?" asked Sandi-
we're.
II mean just what say-if you move
one inch you are dead man"
The Indians, seeing their chief in dan
ger, started to his rescue, but Carson
told him to motion his men back, or he
would shoot him on the spot. The old
chief, well knowing the man he had to
deal with, instantly complied, and mo-
toned his men back. Carson then told
him to order up his twelve men with
their horses just as he had received them,
and Leo with them. This was instantly
complied with.
Carson then mounted the old chief be-
hind one of his men end started for
Captain Prices camp, where Sandivere
found things as represented by Carson.
The runner had been there but had lost
the trail which had caused the delay.
Captain Price gave the chief many pres
ents, and escorted him to his tribe. He
afterward was a true friend to the whites,
and in many instances did very valuable
service.
Thus by the coolness, cunning and
bravery of bob Carson this
devoted band Of twelve brave men were
rescued from certain death.

Concord, 2. A very curious phenomenon
was witnessed on Lake Winnepessogee, Sun
day afternoon about talf-past O'Clock, by two
men who were anchored off Rattlesnake
Island in a small boat There was scarcely
a breath of air stirring, and the surface of the
lake was unaffected by even a ripple when
the centre of the lake appeared to sink down,
and Immediately following which three large
waves, the largest of which was over three
feet in height, dashed over the rocks of the
Island for a moment threatening destruction

At the trial of w. A. Glover for connection
with the Boylston bank robbery, now in pro-
gress before the Superior Criminal Court,
Thomas II, Pratt testified in substance that
he was with the firm of w. +. Gray & Son,
bankers in New York in 1869; that he visited
Boston with Glover shortly before the roo
berry, and in passing Boylston Bank Glover
said to him 'That bank will catch hell pretty
soon, Pm the boy that knows what is going
on; there will be lively times around there
one of these mornings" The witness and
Glover soon after returned to New York to-
gether, leaving person known as ''Dick
Broker" in Boston. Pratt continued his tes-
timony as follows: On the following Thurs.
day | received $4,000 in bonds marked
Boylston Bank. l saw Gray the next day and
he agreed to take the bonds as soon as he
could get the money. Between $4,000 and
So. 900 of these bonds were afterwards de-
livered to me for Gray, by either Glover or
Dick Broker before December IL. They
were brought at different times. l do not
know how Glover got the bonds from Broker,
but know that they made appointments to
meet in various parts of the city at different
times. Ihave seen Broker hand Glover pack
ages sometimes, and those same packages
have been brought to me, and have found
always that they contained stolen bonds. In
the cross examination Pratt gave the follow
ing bit of personal history lin 1864 went

Auditors office of the treasury department.

William w. Vanderbilt Government In
spector, to- day made all official investigation
of the boiler of the Westfield. He found the
material of the boiler good and the iron of the
requisite thickness, but discovered a serious
break in the inner casing, which evidently
had existed long before the explosion. The
outer edge of the fragment was much bright
er than the inner, and from this and other in
dications, he had come to the conclusion that
the inner casing was broken, either when the
boiler was made nine years ago, or gave away
subsequently when subjected to a severe test.
He expressed positive opinion that the
boiler has for long time been held together
simply by thin outside plating, and said he
was surprised that it had not exploded be-
fore.
This flaw could not have been detected by
any inspector, as the outside of the boiler
was covered with felt, and the inside afforded
no indications of decay, nor could it have
been detected by sounding the boiler.

cago. He subsequently fled to Galveston,
Texas, and thence to Scotland where his
parents reside. Pinkerton followed him to
Scotland. His efforts to secure the murder
ers arrest were unsuccessful, but he ascer-
tanned beyond doubt that Forester was
within the limits of Great Britain, and his
escape next to impossible. The British police
are on the alert and Pinkerton considers the

some time may lapse before it is effected.

Alexandria, 9. Horace Greeley who is
here on a visit, delivered an address at the
Methodist Episcopal church this afternoon.
Notice being short the audience was not
large, though highly intelligent and composed
principally of Southern men,
Mr.. Greeley said he thought it desirable to
have respite of politics this year in anticl-
patton of the grave issues that would have to
be met next year. Reconstruction had been
thought si,}w, but it had been fast enough,
had all been agreed. Six years under mill
tary rule would been better, because of the
imposition of light taxes. There would have
been no parties, no feuds, and no creation of
debt. Southern men were not prepared TO
go into the Union at once from the war. The
South had recuperated faster than any other
country betore--faster than this country after
the revolution. Prescriptions should be set
aside. If the men who seceeded were repre-
scented, they wanted their first, not their fifth
choice. Efforts to disfranchise the negroes
ought not to be made. He warmly favored
the 'new departure" saying that foreigners
could not be disiranchised twenty years ago,
and how could four millions Of blacks be dis
franchised now. The democrats ought to ac-
cept the 10Th amendment, and republicans
would doubtless all vote for the removal of
disabilities. When these questions passed
away finance would claim attention. He
argued strongly in favor of paying the ma
tional debt as fast as possible. 1t was the
only way to keep up public credit. Virginia
thought too much Of politics. They should
devote their attention to the development of
their natural resources. They had all the
resources of Pennsylvania, and could be
equal to that State. They wanted wise and
active men. They should have faith in their
State. Every man should look for mine, q

A Pleasant Affair In Richmond.

| On the 3lst ult., large party of the citi-
zens of Richmond made an excursion to Mouse
Island in Boothbay Harbor, under the lead
ership of Capt. Davis Blanchard, I'd. The
Captain aided by his estimable wife, whose
handcraft at the chowder excited the admira-
ton of all, labored assiduously and most sue
cessfully for the comfort and pleasure of the
party.
On Monday evening last, the Captain and
Mrs. Blanchard were surprised by the sudden
appearance at their residence in Richmond
of the same party, bearing a large silver,
porcelainlined pitcher, with this inscription
only: "Mouse Island, July ID, 1871" The
Rev. VIM. C. Curtis advanced and in very
happy manner presented the pitcher to Mrs.
Blanchard. lie said:
Mrs Blanchard: have been requested by
the ladies and gentlemen here gathered, to
present you with this silver ice pitcher, as a
token of their appreciation of your labors,
and those of your husband, in securing for US
the recent enjoyable excursion to Mouse Is
land, and to tender with it their hearty thanks
and cordial well-wishes.
They have chosen this method of express
ing their appreciation of your zeal and disin
terestedness in promoting their happiness,
because it best symbolizes the forms in which
they would express their wishes. There is
nothing more mathematical of comfort and
refreshment in this heated season, than water
crystalized under the hand of winter; so they
have that which to-day expresses most fifty
the idea of comfort, prepared and tempered
according to our need, as the symbol of their
xu;c hos Go x,our1oo,nfxrt IN nj nj
all times.
Wishing thus your comfort and enjoyment,
they have expressed very beautifully, in SYM
Dol, their wish that these may ever come TO
you pure and unalloy,d. And in the sub
stanta beauty OF the vessel which contains
Gin cmalem) this pure refreshment and JOY,
they would symbolic yet again their wish
that the richest and purest enjuyments may
ever be measured out to you both in associa-
tons of love and beauty. / present this to
you in the name of these with the fervent de-
sire that both they and we may long remem-
Der with pleasure the occasion when for once
the precept became a law and "they who
served most were greatest among u.s."
Capt. Blanchard responded: 1--WE sincere
ly thank you for this rich token of your re-
spect and approval of or efforts to add to
your pleasure on the recent excursion. We
are no speech makers but do claim to be some
on chowder, and hope we may all be spared
to enjoy many repetitions of July 81, 1871.
