Perils OF Indian Fighting.

The Chicago 7imeS'S correspondent
with Gen. Crook gives the following
thrilling account of the dangers attend
ing Reconnaissance in the Indian coun-
try:
Last Thursday, July &, Lieut. Sble-
of Company +, pa cavalry, with de-
tail of % picked men, was ordered To
escort Frank Gruard and Baptiste Pou-
rier, the scouts, along the base OF the
mountains, 10 discover, If possible, the
camp Of Sitting-Bu DESTROYS Of view
sng the northern section of the noun
tain country, your correspondent ac-
companied the command. We left
camp at noon, and marched until
o'clock i'm the afternoon, when we halt
ed until night and pushed on by moon
light. The march was continued for A.
miles, until we reached a point near the
Little Big Horn River, when we went
into bivouac. At 4 o'clock in the morn
ing we started again, and proceeded
about three miles, when Gruard signaled
US from forward bluif To halt We did
SO, and he came riding back to say that
multitude of Indians, all On the war
path, were within mile of us. lie led
Us into the side rocks To seewhciher we
would escape observation. Hardly had
we taken position when they came
swarming over the hills, and seemed 10
cover the country. In 20 minutes they
struck our trail, and Gruard led us up
the mountain side, horses and all. The
Indians saw Us AT once, and "A strong
party started in pursuit. We crossed
the mountains 10 the northwest, and
when about II miles from the edge,
within view OF the snowy range. Newere
attacked from all sides but the east.
Gruard led US into the timber. We tied
our horses and fought the savages for
two hours; until they began TO
close in on Us by hundreds from every
point. Your correspondent horse
and those of some others were wound
ed badly by the first yolley within POO
yards range, but not man was hurt.
Seeing that if we remained longer we
must all be butchered, GruaTd decided
To abandon the horses and retreat on
foot. We took all our ammunition and
left every thing else. The Indians kept
| firing on our horses, supposing we were
there, until we put two miles between
US, rocks and trees being our protec-
tors. The Indians could not web fol-
low us on horseback. We had march
on foe. of 80 miles, over canyons and
precipces. We were well up in Mon
tana. We marched almost necessarily,
without rations, from O'Clock on the
afternoon of Friday until tho same
hour on Saturday, when we were again
in sight of Indians on this side Of the
slope. We lay back until dark, march
ed all night, having To cross several
rivers, and reached camp without losing
man, although some were delirious
from hunger and fatigue most mirac-
ulous escape, seeing that an innumer-
able band of Cheyennes and Sioux, fully
armed, were after US. Our escape is
due to the skill of Gruard, an unequaled
scout, and to the soldierly GOODNESS of
Lieut.. Sibley, an officer only % years
old. He is son of Col. Sibley, who
recently died in Chicago. Judging by
the number of redskins, we must have
seen Sitting Bills whole force. White
Antelope, Cheyenne chief, was the
man who nearly captured Us.

Surplus Watermelons.

Mr.. George X. Mckee, of Georgia,
writes as follows
ave do not market more than one
third Of the melons that we can pro-
duce, the balance being virtually vast
ed. Ii is with view 10 utilizing this
wasted crop that request the subject
continued
To this the Maryland Farmerreplies
- There has been SO little done in this
direction, and so little experience had,
that we can only give our own opera
tons. We peeled off the rind, took out
the seeds, and then crushed the melons
in cider press, squeezing out the
juice; then boiled and eyaporatcd it, in
the same way as we do the sap of maple
or the juice of the sorghum, and each
operator will know when he has boiled
it TO the consistence or thickness de-
sired; and then il should be stirred in
shallow pans-like milk pans-over a
gentle heat, until it becomes granu-
lated, or ssugared off, as they say in
the maple sugar works, when strip is
converted To sugar. We can give our
readers another useful hint for utilizing
their surplus watermelons. IL is this :
Last year we saw some Virginia farm
ers feed watermelons TO their mich
cows, when theycame up at night, with
very good effect, by increasing the
quantity and improving the quality of
their milk. In other instances we have
seen the good results Of feeding cows
sound watermelons; after standing in
the stall or yard over night, they eat
melons with avidity in the morning"

Gen. Custer's Birthplace.

Gen. Custer was born in Ispringen,
near Pforzheim in Baden, Germany,
and emigrated when child with his
parents, who settled in New Rumley,
Harrison County, Ohio. The talented
boy obtained place in West Point by
the influence of MIR. bingham, M. c.,
and graduated shortly after the begin
ming Of the war of rebellion. He served
first on Gen. Phil. Kearney's staff and
distinguished himself repeatedly by his
dashing bravery. He executed the first
successful cavalry attack in Mcclellan 5
army and conquered the first rebel
standard. At the end of the war, the
young warrior, who then was only TWEEN
ty-five years Of age, had gained the
reputation Of being one of the most
brilliant leaders of cavalry
Formerly his name was written "Cus-
tar;n since his return from trip to
Germany, however, he appears to have
written :. CUSTER" his original family
name, however, was kuester.

3 ID Gross. NJ. d. writing /,

S. ID. Gross, NJ. d., writing in the
Journal Of Medicine about the American
progress in surgery since 1776, says that,
beginning with the Revolution, the sur
geon and he physician have been more
or less combined in one person, contra
ry to custom in the old World. The
surgery of the Revolution showed little
skill, but later many difficult and dan
gerous operations, new to the profes-
sion, were first performed in this coun-
try. He thinks that our surgeons treat
fractures and dislocations more scien-
tifically than in other countries, and be
makes substantially the same claim ms
to general affections Of the joints and
amputations.

THE CENTENNIAL J ANDoREE.-For an
hour or two before the year 1875 shook
off the dust Of his feet against the things
that are and completed his record Of the
past, there were limitations that the Cen.
tennial infant would not be born in quiet.
Ali at once, when the town clock tolled
the death Of the old and the birth Of the
new year, from all quarters there burst
forth din almost sufficient TO awake the
dead heroes Of the revolution. Bells
rang,thorns blew and every species Of ex-
plosive material was brought into requi-
sition. The streets were alive with peo-
pie, who WED with each other in the in
tensity OF their demonstrations. Capt.
Ed. Weisgerber, Superintendent OF the B.
& o. shops, had an engine and several
gondolas brilliantly illuminated and on
one. of them cannon. With these he pass
cd over the road from South Wheeling to
the Hcmpfeld Tunnel, sending off rockets
and firing the cannon. It's echoing
thunder reyerberated from hill to hill and
nature seemed staggered at the DEM
onstrations. Great crowds Of people COL
lected on Marketstreet from the Postoffice
to the Mcclure House, and the enthusiasm
was immense. Even now as we 60 to
press the noise is undated, and 1t looks
as though the natal day Of the Centennial
will be one Of wild enthusiasm.
To alive say go in, for none who now
live will ever see another such occasion.

The death of Mrs. Margaret Root, an
old citizen Of Wheeling, is announced in
another column. She came here SO years
ago, from Shepherdstown, Va, and was
the widow. Of Col, - Root, who in
former years ran a planning mill where
the Holidays now run one, at the south
end Of the Market street bridge. The
National road was not built to Wheeling
SO years ago, nor was there any town
south Of the creek, and for that matter
only a small one north Of it. Great
changes have taken place since then, and
this old lady was a silent witness to
many Of them. She will be buried on
Sunday next at Mt. Wood Cemetery.

BEETHOVEN SocIETY.-The Beethoven
Singing Society had one Of their enjoya.
bic socials last evening, making the clos
ing of the old year and the opening Of the
Centennial year q joyous. occasion long to
be remembered. They had music and
feasting and dancing, and withal some
very fine singing. 1twas a pleasant oc-
casion, and was participated in by the
society and numerous invited friends.
As the natal hour Of the Centennial year
approached the genial face Of our friend
JuliusLose appeared in our sanctum bring
ing as the representative Of the society,
a New Years welcome in kind words and
plenty Of good cheer Herewith in the
form Of a welcome lunch. Although we can
not wish them individually return OF
this Centennial occasion, yet We
trust the social reunions Of which
their kindness so often reminds
us may be many in the years to
come, and that the friendly sociability so
characteristic OF our German citizens may
grow to be feature in all classes Of
American society. To the Beethoven we
say Happy New Year.

Is,,np1a4,s trwo oRpHANsp-An Inn
inense audience greeted the F9 n.n
Fifth Avenue Combination ut the oPeria
House last night, and witnessed tne M y,
tisl presentation Of SThe Two Orphans
in Wheeling. They are pleasant people,
not oniy ne two orphans-Misses Geor'
Gle langley aud Dolly Pike-but al who
Are associated with them in the play
Those two are born sisters, which makes
them personally interesting In their stage5
relations as orphans; while Louise ana
Henriette, not being sisters, gives them
better dramatic situations than II they,
were. Before the orphans are separated
in the action they make beautiful an
striking picture. Both are young ahq
pretty, and through the magnetism OF
The lie that binds them together, they
sneak and move as one being. They are
necessary to each other to make one
Then the rude separation comes and eaGn
half OF the being becomes twice herself
battling with misfortune and misery IN
the effort to find the other hall. The ara
matte situation is therefore fine iof
both, and they are fully equal to It's test
Miss Langley embraces and presents
Louise with a nervous strength she has
probably never shown insany other roe
She becomes unconscious OF herself IN her
sympathy for the street beggar she i'm
personates, and this is a strong point made
In the dramatic art. She is always torcl'
bic and true 10 the sentiment and situa'
ton, and her work Is u harmony. Her
pathetic passages with Pierre are telling,
and her lear Of the other Frochards ia
thrilling, After seeing her through the
play It Is difficult to imagine truer OF
better orphan. Miss Dolly Pike as Hen
rietta graces her role with equal vigor
and thorough good sense. She represents
the stronger or masculine will OF those
two girls lost to each other in the
wicked wilderness Of Paris. Her role 4
the more declamtory, anditis through
out vigorous in delivery. Her scene
with the police, made prisoner, within
hearing OF her sisters voice, rises to a
high pitch Of dramatic power and Is a
grand effect. We don't know where to
look for two other sisters like them on
the stage. Certainly the 1.-TWO Orphans
never had fairer or sweeter representa-
tives than these.
The play will be repeated this after
noon and this evening.

PROJECTING THE CouRT HOUSE FROM
JFiRE.--In view ofthe late attempt to burn
the Court House, the Committee on Court
House and Jail Of the Board Of Commits
sioners decided to take measures to better
protect the building from fire. Accord
tngly by their orders fire plugs have
been placed on each floor Of the Court
House, with hose attachments. Each
fire plug has fifty feet Of two.inch hose,
which will throw o stream as high as the
building itself. This is a very wise pre-
caution, and one which 1t would be we'll
for those having charge Of our public
buildings to adopt. The Washington
Hall FIRE could have been easily arrested
by this means.
