The log cabin, yesterday, was the centre
of attraction, and the good ladies' In charge
had ali thew could do to dispose OF the
crovds who fiocked to inspect the contents
and accept of their hospitality. Many
articles OF great antiquity and value have
been added to the collection already given
in this paper. Among Others is an old
wooden pillow, sent by ]. S. Mar
gerum from Washington, Pa, which
was used in Mt, Pleasac. township over
los Fears ago. The pillow has not even
nail about Il, and looks like relic OF tne
InquisitioH. ;.
A pack saddle taken from the Indian
who murdered General Carter, is in front
of the cabin, but it don't appear to fright
en- the people any. 1t is about twelve inches
deep, fifteen inches beam, with wonderful
bow and stern. Sweeney & Son did not fur
nish the machinery, and the architect IS
unknown. The verdict Of the people who
saw II YESTERDAY was, that the savages were
clearly iustifable in killing Carter, or any
other man who would own such saddle.
There is one thing certain, however, once q
man gets anchored in it, mot all the an
gels in Heaven above or the demons down
under the sea- could Gust him, aud the
supposit ion is that Carter was not in the
saddle when he was killed. The saddle is
made of bone and covered with a skin, the
mystery of whose tanning is unfathomable.
A ball about four inches or less in cir.

watched, and whenever it was hired out one
of the kids" would be sent after it. The
swivel however, could not send it over
thirty.fiye or forty yards, and Girty and
his red fiends never got near enough to
get hurt, and on this account the precious
relic comes down TO US.

the real writer mot on account OF the Chi
Biography can better be imagined than de-
scfibed. a waistcoat of silk worn by the
late q. W. also attracts much attention.
