Scion SHINGLES PARrRIDGEs.-Last week Mr.
Owens advertised in the San for fifty live part
ridges to stock his farm, apply at Solomon Kings
drug store, South Calvert street Yesterday a let
ter was received from farmer in one of thelower
counties, understanding that "ffty dosen," and
not "hfty," were required, set to work to procure
the birds. In the lettar he said he had already
collected forty -eight dozen, and would forward
them when the number was completed. The farm
or very particularly wanted to know If the part
ridges were for the "apple sass man" meaning So
lon Single, who is Baltimore county farmer and
sheep raiser.
Mr. John Nelson, of White Hall, Baltimore
county, writes in reference to saving the lives of
birds during the severe weather. lie states that
he has been feeding sizty-two cartridges for two
weeks, which he trapped and caught, and advises
oil hunters gunners and farmers to 90 and do like
wise. General action in this matter would prevent
great destruction among the birds. 1t is suggest
ed from another source that the Society for the
Preservation Of Fish and Game could aid In this
matter.-iSus Of 23d t.st.

Proctor and his Indian allies encamped
on my fathers farm, just outside of the
clearing, in the edge of the forest After
dark my mother and | went out to see
the camp-fres. The scene was one never
to he forgotten; the blazing fires with
their ascending sparks, the gloom Of the
forest, the wearied men sleeping sound
ly on the bare earth, the weird forms Of
the pickets moving among the trees, all
combined to make an impression on my
boyish mind which long years and busy
life have not effaced
Early in the morning the scouts
brought in word that the American, Gen.
Harrison, was approaching, accompa-
MED by a band of celebrated Kentucky
horsemen. Gen. Proctor got his little
army In motion as quickly as possible.
intending to make a stand at Moravian-
town, and to this end scouts were sent
forward to prepare the Indians for battle,
and to remove the women and children to
places of safety in the woods.
Ny father and | were working that
morning on the mill-dam, and Tecumseh
came near to where we we're, and stood
above us On the bank, saying that he in
tended to remain there until the Ameri-
cans came in sight. | can recall Just
how he looked; he stood there in his
war costume of paint and feathers, with
one arm resting upon the neck of a beau
'tiful dark gray horse. My father and
pursued our work, occasionally looking
up to the spot occupied by the chief. All
at once we heard terrible whoop. and,
looking up we saw Tecumseh dashing
across the clearing like the wind, pursued
by about twenty of the Kentucky horse
men. The Americans had come Te-
cumseh overlook Proctor and the army
before they reached Moraviantown, and
upon consultation it was determined to
come 70 halt aud prepare for battle.
The place selected was admirably
adapted for the purpose of defense. 1t
was ridge of high land, covered with
beech and maple timber, and almost sur
rounded by a black ash swamp, over
which miry soil it would be next 10 inn
possible for the American cavalry to pass
Trees were also felled. to make the APP
proach more difficult.
In a short time the battle began, and
after firing few rounds, Proctor with
drew his men and pursued his retreat to-
ward London. The Indians, however
continued the fight and bravely main.
tanned their position until the death o
their vhi1f, who foil, pierced By bullel
fired from pistol by Col. johnson. Il
is supposed that Tecumseh mistOok
| johnson for Harrison, who had beaten
him in the battle OF Tippecanoe, and fol
whom he mad entertained deadly hatred
and had often expressed desire 10 en-
counter him in hand to hand contest
1t is supposed he mistook johnson for his
old enemy from the fact that he exposed
himself iecklessly. Running out some
distance in advance of his men and sing,
ling ont Col. johnson, who was mounted
on powerful horse, he hurled his tom
ahawk at him with all his strength. The
weapon missed its aim and the next min
ute he fell mortally wounded.
