and loading his rife. Taking separate sides of
the road, they thus hoped to distract the saw
ages attention and get by him safely. The
Indian, however, caught sight of the English
man and gave him chase. Hearing the dis
charge of a rifle, Clark hid himself in a ham,
mock, from which he presently again saw the
Indian, with his arms and legs covered with
blood, having, no doubt, as was then the savage
custom, cut De Courcy to pieces after bringing
him down with the rifle.
1.-THE Indian" Clark relates "then came
riding through the brush in pursuit of me, and
approached within ten feet, but finally gave
up the search. | then resumed my way back
to Fort Brooke, crawling and limping through
the nights and forenoons, and sleeping in the
brush during the middle of the day"
With no other nourishment than cold water,
the poor fellow struggled painfully along, till,
on the evening of the fifth day after the fight,
he reached the fort. Here he lay i'll hospital
for five months before recovering from his
wounds, and received his discharge with q
pension of SIS per month. -Four other
wounded soldiers afterward came in; but,
Joining another expedition before their hurts
were fully healed, they soon died of them, so
that Clark remained the sole survivor of the
unfortunaty detachment.
In this desperate conflict the Indians claim
to have had but $50 warriors engaged. OF
these they admit only three to have been
killed, statement, however to which little
credit can be attached, though there is no
doubt that, under the circumstances, their
loss was small compared with that of the
whites.
While Dades command was thus being
slaughtered another terrible tragedy was
enacting at Fort King, only fow miles away,
wherein OSceola took a prominent part, i'll full
fillment OF his oath of vengeance against Gen
eral Thompson. That officer, with a number
of friends, was dining at store i'll the vicinity

they were seated. Thompson and four others

The superstitous nature OF the negro race

Tom was in the city yesterday, anl gave
detailed account TO the Progress OF the pecu-

cure, as well as the wonderful manner in which
the OWL perpetrator was discovered.
About month ago Toms wife felt pecu~
liar misery In her limbs, which gradually en-
veloped the entire body, and instead OF yield
ing TO ordinary physic, each dose administered
seemed TO add To her ailment, and augument
her suffering.
Finally it dawned upon Tom that his wife
was conjtred and he sought the aid of old man
Gus Cheeycrs, an old half-breed Indian noted
for herb remedies and knowledge of the occult
science. The old doctor as soon as approached
told Tom his wife had been poisoned with rat
tlesnake poison by neighbor, and had three
days more delay been made she would have
been dead. He could save her though, and
for the sum Of eighteen dollars undertook to
antidote the poison.
