HARTFORD, CoNN., Dec. %.
The many Christmas greetings are
over, and one holiday less in our lives
has been chroncled For us it has been
like an April day, without snow and with
warm clear sunshine. The heavy rains
and south wind Of Christmas eve entirely
obliterated all vcstige of snow and ice,
which for few days only served as an
apology for slcighing and to-day it has
been raining, and the highways and by
ways are in delightful state Of efferv-
escence. Our coolest day was the 2lst,
when the thermometer marked 10 de-
grees below zero. Christmas in Con-
necticut is becoming more and more a
holiday every year, and ere long doubt
not it will take precedence Of all Others
excepting perhaps the 4th of july, and
why should it not If there is one event
more than another that should create JOY
in the hearts of us all, that event was the
birth Of Christ the Saviour of mankind
and it ill-becomes n Christian people tc
pass it lightly by, and celebrate with SC
much pomp and zeal the lesser days Of
our prosperity. Here ali business was
suspended, and the churches were unusu.
ally well attended, and the evergreen
decorations were profuse and varied. A
few days more and the new year, step.
ping out from the dusk of the old, will
enter on its morning Of youth, and new
hopes, and new resolutions, and some
fears will follow in its track. May il
tighten our pack of cares, case our great
sorrows, and keep us straight in the path
that leads to perpetual sunshine.

4 Desperate Fight.

A band of Indians about sixty in num-
bcr made an attack upon two men at the
ranches on Cicnega de Sauz, about fifteen
miles above an old San Simon station and
twenty-five miles from camp Bowie.
There are two adobe houses there, stu-
ated some 200 yards apart. The men
occupied one, the other vacant and that
morning one one Of the men, Richard
Barnes started to 90 from the house over
near the vacant one, when he was fired
upon by Indians frcm the inside Of the
house and shot through the body. His
partner, r. NJ. Gilbert was at the time
in the house occupied by them, and upon
his bed, being unwell with fever; but
hearing the firing, he seized his Henry
rife, ran out and commenced firing upon
the Indians, as they had run out aud sur
rounded the fatally wounded and dying
man. This intimidated them, and they
backed little, and Gilbert succeeded in
getting the wounded man into the house,
and all the time keeping up the firing up
on the Indians. After this quite q skirm-
ish ensued, shooting through doors, win
dows and portfolios, in which Gilbert
was quite painfully, but not dangerously y
wounded near the groin by spent ball.
The Indians hit upon the cxpedient OF
setting fire to the roof to burn them out,
and when the heat aud smoke could be
endured no longer, Gilbert tried to arouse
the wounded man and get together out of
door, but found him dying. He then took
his rife in one hand and his cooked pis-
tol in the other, and knowing that an In
dian was standing at the corner Of the
house watching for him (he being able to
see the shadow in the morning sun), with
n yell and bound, sprang directly at the
Indian, firing his pistol into the savage
when within two feet, and rushed into
the tall grass into the Cinenega bottom
amid n shower of balls.
This strategy, no doubt, saved the
mans life, as the Indian fired but missed
his mark-the pistol-bal in his own
stomach probably rendering his nerves
unsteady. The man lay in the tall grass
and tules all day, the Indians not caring
to risk three or four lives to get one and
during that night and tn, next day, he
managed, in spite Of his wound, to craw
into Bowie camp some nine miles off

DEFERRED ARTICLES.

IN MEMoRIAM.--We take the following
from an appreciativc notice of Mrs. II.
A. Ford, in the Niles (Mich.) Democrat
Of Dec 9th
Last Sunday the report spread through
the city that Mrs. II. A. Ford was dead.
In the sunshine of that morning, and Just
before the falling snowhakes covered the
earth with the white purity of heaven,
she entered into the rest of Paradise, 1t
was well known that she had been serious
ly i'll from pneumonia, but on Friday OF
last week it was generally supposed that
she was improving. She was greatly be-
loved throughout the community on ac-
count of her high culture and refinement,
blended with rare gentleness and amia-
bility. As the only child of Mr.. and
Mrs. l.. q. Chipman, she was the genial
and fragrant life of that pleasant family.
As the wife of Mr. II. A. Ford, her cul-
ture and amiability were to him the SUM-
shine and song of his pathway. As a
believer in the Christian religion, she
was the influential example of the power
of the sweetest elements Of the Christian
life. As the esteemed friend and ac-
quaintances Of very many in the social
and general relations Of society, her death
carried.a shadow through the whole place
The light Of that home Of many delights
went out on last Sunday, but the last word
that trembled on the lips of the departed
was the hallowed name of Him whose
gentleness had made her great.
The burial took place on Wednesday
afternoon from the residence of l.. @
Chapman. A large number of people
were present The services were conduct
ed by the Bev. DIR. Eddy, the pastor oi
the Presbyterian Church. assisted by
Rev. G. S. Barnes, pastor Of the Metho
dist Church.
