after leaving the Canadian river, Major
Lyman, commanding the escort to the
supply train, was attacked by 800 to 400
Indians on the morning of the 9th inst.
The Indians charged the train several
times, and made every effort to capture it,
lighting so detcrmincIly AS to dctain it :nr
three days. The sght was very close, and
tie train was completely surrounded. On
tie third day the Indians abandoned the
attack, retr,utiug sou;hweas. From all

Tfoh Tue DoSepn aIftrRlssE
In Crews woods, near III yde, X AK there
-tiseesa strange person, who has long been
known as ''The Hermit" But little is
known OF the man, as he Is very reticeat
on the subject of bis life His name is
James Galley, and he was born in Ches.
shire county, England. in 1906. He is
well educated, is accomplished in the arts
of drawing and painting, anl was probably
sent to school ct Etoo EwsHsy six or
twenty sesen years ago he Jeff Easland
1t has been asoertaiasds however, That ne
was not to return for twenty Eve years.
This is mysterious point in his iife which
no one can explain. IL is said that he fell
in love with the daughter Of some titled
person, was rejected. and that hls present
seclasion is from that Gauge; but this may
have arisen from his refusal to speak to
ladies for several years after he voluntarily
shut himself out frorn .ocietr. On arriving
at Boston, " the hermit l. plunged into the
forest and built himst a hut under an
overhanging ledge in the Pine Garden
woods. Here he supported himself on
grm-, which was then abundant, and de-
voted much time to the study Of arnithol.
ogY. Finally the Alliances of civilization
led him to seek a more secltled syot; ard
he purchased little tract of, land, his
present position, and built Il l0 bv II hut,
which has been somewhat. erilaf-ed since.
Here this old mao has liged alone with
bis dogs and pets, Of which he has had
many; and although the time of his exile
has now sspire', he seems to have no dis
position to return to bis native land. - 7
He has seen the town grow NJ s'ike
magic, and houses penetrate his very woe,4.,
hat still he remains. He has fine colec
tion of BIRDS and animals, and his fame in
the vicinity has been such that he reurs a
harvest from their exhibition to the many
who seek his door This strange man
evidently has some property in England,
for he has several t:ttses received remit.
tances of money through the British Con,
sll, with presents of valuable dogs from
the same source. Many orinthologists have
visited Mr.. Galley; and it is affirmed that
in various works upon the subject his
views have been frequently entertained.
There Is mysterious something which
clouds the life Of the hermit. He has
exeite@much attention at different times,
and many have evinced a strong desire to
know the story of his life, and the cause
which has shut him fr.m the worll for the
last twenty seven years.
