Measures have been taken in that city to
pretty effectually stamp out the disease
and at present there is but little danger
of its spreading. There is danger of the
disease entering other ports at which
meas less eifectual than those taken at
New York might lead to It's diffusion

there Is no more cholera.

An Internal machine was lately sent TO
Gov. Flower of New York. He had been
warned that such an attempt would be
made on his life and when the box was
received surrendered it to experts. The
box contained giant powder which would
be caused to explode by the opening of
the box, thus certainly killing the person
who stood near, The action of the gov
ernor with reference to quarantine mat
tiers was, no doubt, the cause of the ma
chine being sent.

soma are pTseticing deception the Ia
dams oyerdld the matter and suspicious
OF their sincerity were aroused IL the
sergesnt's mind.
After leaving the Indians and pro
ceeding = mile or more, the sergeant
stopped his comrades aud SAID:
"Those redskins mean mischief.
haven't lived among ludisns Iwenty
years for nothing. / know them, and
their fiendlsh tricks. And unless We
are prepared for them tonight there
wont be = man of US alive 10 tell the
story when morning comes"
The soldiers were surpris ed; not one
OF them had dlstrusted the Indians.
Feeling confidence in the sergeant.
however, they agreed 10 follow his IN
structons, aud the following plan WAS
adopted and executed:
The spot chosen for the nights en-
campment was near q stream OF water,
which served as = protection in the
rear. A large oak tree was telled. and
each man cut log from this about the
size OF himself. The iogs of wood were
wrapped IN blankets. mems hats were
put on the extremities, and they were
laid before the campfire, so arsfulIy
arranged that anyone would have
taken them for outstretehed sleeping
soldiers.
The sergeant and bis men concealed
themselves behind large pile OF brush
TO await any movement on the part of
their enemies. The fire. which had
been kept bright during the evening,
was suffered to die down. aud an air of
quietness relgned about the camp.
Two hours passed. and the men be-
gan to grow impatient, and hints were
thrown out that the sergeant had been
more scared than hurt.
At length q tall Indian was dis.
covered, bv the glimmer of the fire.
light, cautiously moving toward them.
Very stealthlly he drew near enough
to see the figures of the supposed men.
Then he Withdrew and another Indian
appeared, who seemed Carefully to
count the sleeping figures.
Soon the whole party OF redskins,
sixteen in number, was discovered eau
tiously advancing. The witnesses of
the preparation for a massacre were
now SO excited that they could hardly
be restrained. The sergeant's plan
was for his men TO remain quiet in
their place. of concealment till the
the muskets of the sayages were dis
charged.
They had net long to wait. The In
dams advanced within a few feet, then
took aim, discharged their pieces, gave
their characteristic war-whoop and
rushed forward to complete their das-
tardly work by scalping their helpless
victims.
Now was the sergeant's time, and at
a gwen signal deadly fire was poured
upon the treacherous savages. Not
one of them escaped.
