A correspondent of the Cincinnati

IT, following terrible story ofthe white
mans cruelty and the Indians horrible
revenge:
A few miles west of Omaha, a miry,
sluggish stream runs into the Platte,

discovery of gold in California, a yonng
man belonging to a party who started
from !" the States' and crossed the
plains in search of gold, made a foolish
boast before starting from home to the
effect he would shoot the first Indian
he saw.
The party crossed the Missouri
River and soon found themselves in
the great Valley os the Platte. Pass
ing up this valley they encamped one
evening on the banks Of the stream
spoken of, which at that time was
nan,cless. As the train was about

small party of young Indians who
had come across the river from the
Pawnee village on the opposite side,
approached the encampment. These
were the first Indians the party had
seen, aand the young man who had said
that. he intended to shoot the first In
dian ne saw was reminded of his boast,
and he immediately picked up his rifle,
took aim ata young squaw, and shot
her-dead.
The news was carried to the village
at once, the party of whites were sur
rounded by exaspeiated Indians, and
the young man who had doue the
shooting was seized, stripped, tied to
wagon wheel, aud skinned alive, the
poor fellow begging of both enemies
and trends to shoot him, and thus end
his terrible suffering. The remainder
of his party Were compelled 70 stand
by and witness the torture of their
colnrade without being able to render
him any assistance. The unfortunate
man survived the operation but few
moments, and the emigrants were then
allowed to move on.
Since that day the stream upon

TAKING CARE OF LAMPS.-The east

warm instead of cold, the operation is
rendered much shorter.
The best time for cleaning them is
in the morning, for reasons of safety,
il not convenience. Scarcely week
passes during the winter mouths, but
we read accounts of off,ightful accidents
from kerosene lamps exploding and
killing or soaring for life women and
children.
A simple knowledge of the infama-
bic nature Of the fluid would probably
put stop to nearly all the accidents
AS the oil burns down into the lamp,

gas increases. When the oil is nearly
consumed, a slight jar viii often in.

to follow, dealing with it death and
destruction. A bombshell is no more
to be dreaded. Now, if the lamp is
not allowed to burn more than halt

impossible. Always ill your lamp in
the morning; then you need never
fear an explosion.

The car was waiting at station of
one of our Western railroads. The
baggage master was busy with his
checks. The men were hurrying to

ages and trunks. Men, women, and
children were rushing for the cars,

He was looking around him, and
