EBENsBURG, PA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 2e, 1877

Soon after day break some food was
brought me. a: about 10 O'Clock / was
taken to the river and placed i'm a canoe,
at the faI uher end of which sat the sullen
chief We crossed the stream With out ut
tering word. On reaching the opposite
shore the savage raised me in bis arms as
though / were a mere child, and stepping
lightly from the canoe, bore me few steps
from the margin of the river and placed
me upon the ground.
With two quick strokes of his knife be
severed my bonds and motioned me to
rise. As did SO, he handed me knife
and hatchet, brought for the purpose, and
and simply said Here is a chance for
life. Improve it, Then, fixing his flash
ing eyes upon me, he moved backward
about three PAGES and, with a fiendish
yell, sprang upon me with upliited hatchet
But | was on the alert, and, darting quick
ly aside, he missed his mark and came
near plunging headlong to the ground.
At the same time | dealt him a fearful
blow upon the shoulder; but my hatchet
struck partially flatwise so that it cut but
stung to madness by the blow, caught my
weapon with both his hands as it was de
scendiDg the second time, and furiouSly
stIove to wrench it from me. In the strug-
gle we both let go the hatchet and Crap
pied with each other. / soon found him
much more than a match for me in st rengt th,

ground. By this time the strife had be-
come terrible, each fighting for life, with
all the fury of desperation. As we lay
struggling upon the ground, each striving
frantically TO become uppermost, he man
aged to draw his knife, and gave me Il
horIid cash across :he cheek, the scar of
which | shall carry to my grave. At this
moment my eye fell on one of the fallen
tomahawks lying within reach, and clutch
ing his wrist with one hand, by violent
effort l prevented a second stroke of the
knife, while with the other | grasped the
hatchct, and smarting with The wound
which for the moment fairly frcnzied me,
with cry of mingled rage and triumph |
drove it through his brain, killing him in
stantly. Springing to my feet, [ beheld,
compliant with her promise, the Indian
maiden sitting upon her horse just within
the edge of the forest, but few rods
distant.
| was quickly at her side. Leaping to
the ground, she motioned me to mount the
horse, which | did, telling her at the same
time that as the preserver of my life,
should refuse to go without her. The In
dians, who had been watching the contest
from the opposite bank, were now yelling
like mad, and hastily preparing to Gloss
the stream. KNOWN that her life would
be in danger with tie tribe, the Indian
girl consented to go with me, and together
we reached Fort Laramie, fifty miles dis
tant, little after sunset. Six weeks from
that time we were married, which | have
never yet had reason to regret.
| need only add that the strangers found
their way back in safety to the camp of
their friends, truly grateful for the kind
ness and hospitality of Jack Granger.

CLEAR THE TRACK. The recent 4leavy
fall of snow in this region, which has made
the roads in some parts Of the county al
most impossible, brings to mind an Incl
dent that occurred in the Court of this dis
trct during the administration of Judge
Burnside. One winter the fall of snow was
ve:y heavy and The travel on many of tie
township roads was entilely obstrucled by
reason of the drifting Of the " beautiful
snow" Some of the citizens of one of our
up-river townships considered it to be the
duty of Supervisors to clear the roads and
put them in order for teams and pedes-
triaus. But as this was not done, suit was
brought against the Supervisors for neglect
of duty, aud at the January term of Court
they were uslIered into the presence of His
Honor, the Judge. \ nunlJer of witnesses
were called on both sides of the case, and
after the final summing mp by the attDr-
neys. Judge Burnside addressed the Super
visors in the following language:
Gentlemen |; is your duty, under the
law, to clear roads in your township Of all
impediments and distinctions and keep
them in good order for the accommodation
OF teams and pedesti ians, that the business
of The neighbofhood may not 0e made To
suffer from your neglect, Persons who
seek Office and bind themselves to do GER
tain things are liable fo, any damage that
may be occasioned by their neglect; aud
when such persons are brough: before
Court, and the charge of wilfui neglect is
sustained, they must be punished accord
iugly. /. therefore, warn you, gentlemen,
that if these snow drifts are not removed
before the Ndy term Of CoUrt, | VIII send
every mothers son of you to the peniten-
tiary."
During the delivery OF the first part of
the Judge' speech the countenanees Of the
Supervisors were wofuly elongated but
sudden light broke over them as the Judge
concluded, and they went hoDe, resolved
to have the snow all cleared away befoie
the time indicated by the Judge. 1t is
needless to add that it was done but
whether by the labors of the township
officers or the rays of the sun, we did not
learn. Nevertheless, the SNOW drifts dis.
appeared CleorfeJd Republican.
At station on the New Haven road ihe
other day a man and woman came into the
car. Every seat had one or two occupants
He put her into one seat which was in
part occupied, and lie took another Just
opposite. The party whom he sat with
offered to sit elsewhere so that he and his
lady might have their seat together. s'Oh,
it does not NATTER" he replied, 1--WE are
married." This explanation was consid-
cred satisfactory. Dan5,ry Ners.

Mr.. Ltndess Recital.

The hospitable mansion OF Mr.. Antho-
ny Bullock, on Mt. Auburn, WAS las
night made the scene Of a very pleasan
entertainments, the occasion being Mr.
Herman Linde's first recitals from Shak
speare in public way in the English
language,
Those who heard Mr.. Linde few
months ago in his German recitation and
regretted that 80 tine an elOcutionisi
and so close student of Shakespeare
could not speak the language of the
great dramatist, were surprised and de-
lighted to find that in 80 short period
he had acquired the language correctly,
and was as familiar with the English as
he formerly was with the German edi.
tions OF the great writer.
His recital last night was from "Mac-
betB," and was in the same manner as
on previous occaslons-in tha same
powerful voice, clear enunciation and
mastery rhetoric as when he appeared
in public SIX months ago-but IL was
English instead of German. The facility
with which he has mastered the lam
guage was the subject Of general sur
prise.
Mr.. Linde has been under the tuition
OF Mr.. James E. Murdoch, to whose care
and interest he attributes much of his
marked success. Congratulations were
heartily extended by all present. and
Mr.. Bullock's well-known hospitality
added to the Interest OF what was In al
respects very pleasant occasion.

ANOTHER RADICAL SToRY.-[Special dis
patch to the Press. i WdShi7qton, January
at is evidently the intention OF the
Democratic members Of the House-seeing
that their opposition to the constitutional
right of the president Of the Senate to open
and count the electoral vote is not sustained
by the letter and the spirit Of the presidents
in the premises-to delay action up to a
certain time in the discussion Of the electo-
raj votes objected to. A very prominent
Democratic member to-day put their pro-
gramme in nutshell when he said, eve
will debate the question until just be-
fore the expiration Of the present session,
when we will elect Tilden, and without
bulldozing anybody" 1t is evident from
this that coup Petat is contemplated, so
far as ON election by the House is concerned,
and that measures will be taken to carry
out Tilden's Inauguration either here or in
New York. One of the rumors current to-
night is that an agreement has been ar
ranged between the Republican and Demo-
cratic senator's which will eventuate in So
luton of the pending difficulties. Senators
who would be most likely to know, how
ever, say that they have heard nothing Of
such an agreement.

Doas.-A great dog show has just taken
place in Baltimore. We learn that it was
the largest exhibition Of the kind that ever
took place in America. Dogs were upon
the benches which are said to have cost
$4,000. We see that Mr.. ROBERT HUME, OF
Richmond, received first premium for bis
black, curly-coated retriever, Sweep. We
also see that an old acquaintance was upon
the benches. Tiger was there-Tiger who
ate up sixty-hye pounds Of meat in twenty
four hours. He was a descendant of the
dog owned by,Captain ALEXANDER, Of Castle
Thunder, and is now exhibited in Balti-
more by DIR. e. LLOYD HOWARD (brotber Of
the former owner, in Richmond), Of the
Marine Hospital, as Q Siberian or Ulm dog,
and the Gazette says sthe is the largest. dog
in the show" No doubt Of it. He came
near causing famine here.

"1he Present Disturbed Condition Of the
Country: Its Cause and the Remedy" is
the title Of pamphlet put forth by JAMES
w. GREEN, Esq, of Culpeper. Mr.. GREEN
proposes dual Executive-a President and
Governor General, each having defined
powers; the President to command the
navy, and the Governor-General to com.
mand the army, and the two to be elected
alternately by the northern and southern
divisions of the Union; the Office Of Vice.
President to be abolished. Mr.. GREEN pro-
poses his scheme for immediate use, and
provides for the election of TMDEN Presi'
dent and HAYES Governor-General. Curious
but impracticable. The republic finds il
difficult enough to get along with one Pre-
sident. With two it would be impossible.
