The Story False that the Presidents Brother wa

Shot by His Own Men.
An article is going the rounds of the papers
headed, "a War Reminiscence-How the Pres-
dents Brother was Wounded at Cold Harbor,"
and proceeds to say that veteran officer of
the 4th N. Y. Heavy Art. states that Maj. VIM.
Arthur brother of the President, belonged to
his regiment and was exceedingly overbear-
ing and severe with the men. Finally, a young
Tennessee Lieutenant, who had deserted from
the rebel army and enlisted in his company,
shot him during the battle of Cold Harbor and
inflicted q frightful wound, the scar of which
still appears on his face The young Tennes-
seean was afterwards himself wounded, and
before dying in the hospital confessed that he
had fired the shot This is the reason for the
following letter which has been received by
us.-ED.

"The palefaces are dogs! the Della
wares women Magua leaves them on
the rocks for the crows"
Laughing hoarsely, he made des-
perate leap, and fell short of its mark; !;
though his hands grasped shrub on
the verge of the height. The form of
Hawk-eye had crouched like a beast
about to take it's spring, and his
frame trembled so violently with eag-
erness, that the muzzle of the half
raised rifle played like a leaf flutter-
ing in the wind. Without exhausting
himself with fruitless efforts, the
cunning Magua suffered his body to
drop to the length of his arms, and
found fragment for his feet to rest
on. Then summoning all his powers,
he renewed the attempt, and 80 far
succeeded, as to draw his knees on the

when the body of his enemy was most
collected together, that the agitated
weapon of the scout was drawn to his
shoulder. The surrounding rocks
themselves were not steadier than the
piece became, for the single instant
that 1t poured out its contents. The
arms of the Huron relaxed a little,
while his knees still kept their posi-
ton. Turning a relentless look on
his enemy, he shook his hand in grim
defiance. But his hold loosened, and
his dark person was seen cutting the
air with his head downwards, for Il
fleeting instant, until it glided past
the fringe of shrubbery which clung
to the mountains, in its rapid flight
to destruction.

CHAPTER XXXIII.

They fought-like brave men, long and well,
They piled that ground with Moslem slain,
They conquered-but Bozarris fell
Bleeding at every vein.
His few surviving comrades saw
His smile when rang their proud hurrah
And the red field was won;
Then saw in death his eyelids close
Calmly, as to q nights repose,
Like flowers at set of SUM-
-Ha!leek
The sun found the Lenape on the
succeeding day. a nation of mourners.
The sounds of the battle were over,
and they had fed fat their ancient
grudge, and had avenged their recent
quarrel with the Mengwe, by the de-
struction of Il whole community.
The lodges were deserted; but a
broad belt of earnest faces encircled
spot in their vicinity, whittier
everything possessing life had repair
ed, and where all were now collect
ed, in deep and awful silence.
Six Delaware girls, with their long,
dark, flowing tresses falling loosely
across their bosoms, stood apart, and
only gave proofs of their existence
as they occasionally strewed sweet
scented herbs and forest flowers on a
litter of fragrant plants, that, under
pail Of Indian robes, supported all
that now remained Of the ardent,
high-souled and generous Cora. Her
form was concealed in many wrap
pers of the same simple manufacture,
and her face was shut forever from
the gaze of men. AT her feet waa
seated the desolate Munro. Hey
ward was also nigh, supporting him
self against a tree, and endeavoring
to keep down those sudden risings Of
sorrow that it required his utmost
manhood to subdue.
But sad and melancholy as this
group may easily be imagined, it
was far less touching than another,
that occupied the opposite space of
the same area. Seated, as in life,
with his form and limbs arranged in
decent composure, Uncas appeared,
arrayed in the most gorgeous orna-
inents the tribe could furnish. R;ch
pIumea nodded above his head wa...-
pnm, gorge!s, bracelets. and medals
adorned his person in profusion
though his dull eye and vacant linea-
ments too strongly contradicted the
idle tale Of pride they would convey.
Directly in front of the corpse
Chingachgook was placed, without
arms, paint, or adornmentof any sort,
except the bright blue blazonry of his
race, that was fndelibly impressed on
his bosom. During the long period
that the tribe had been thus collect
ed, the Mohican warrior had kepi
steady, anxious look on the cold
and senseless countenance of his son.
The scout was hard by, leaning in
pensiye posture on his own fatal
and avenging weapon; while Tame
nund, supported by the elders of his
nation, occupied ID high place at hand,
whence he might look down on the
mute and sorrowful assemblage OF h 8
people.

The Jury IN the Alliance Malpractice Case
Disngrees.
The dental malpractice case Of Nor
gan Va. Coffee, which has been on trial
In Common Pleas Court since Wedneg'
day, was given TO the jury yesterday,
and. after deliberetlng on II until this
noon without coming TO an agreement,
was called into Court and discharg-
cd by Judge Peaae. The first ballot
taken resulted In vote OF 7 TO D In fa-
y0r of the plaintiff, and the second 8 to
4 In favor al the same side. All subse-
quent ballots, OF which there were a
number taken, were the same as the
last, and there being no prospect OF the
jury's agreeing II was discharged. The
history OF the case, In which there has
been considerable interest taken, Is sub
stantially as follows,
The plaintiff alleges THAT he called on
the defendant, DR.. Coffee, a practicing
dentist In Alliance, for the purpose Of
having an aching tooth extracted; that
the operation was performed In an un-
skilled and unpr0fessional manner, 80
much 70 that his Jaw was wounded and
mutilated 10 such Il degree that no was
laid up from the effects OF the same. He
says further that he returned to DR.. C0f-
fees office TO be treated again, and that
the doctor put In the cavity OF the broken
jaw nitrate OF silver, caustic and other
dangerous chemicals,in such quantities
and strength as to entirely ruin his teeth
and dlsagure him for life. Mr.. Morgan
says DR.. Coffee and a quack physician
named Van Week, who made his head
quarters ut Alliance for short time, led
himIto believe thata new process would
form. and that under their treatment
he could be cured and have false teeth
put in; that he trusted them and they
finally removed that portion OF his jaw
bones, both above and below, which is
covered by the lips.
Mr.. Morgan Is popular tailor OF ALI
ance, and has q great deal OF sympathy
| In his case. He was quite q good look
ing man, II is said, but IL now disaguret
for life. He lays his damage at 5000
