dashed for the door, and, crossing the
open space, made his escape through
the gate. But as he ran he was fred
at by an Indian coming from the di-
rection of the trade shop, and as he was
seen to drop just outside the open
gate, and as he presumably was dead,
no Indian engaged in pursuit.
Young Corrigal had seer the man
Wright fred at and fall, and had also
heard the shouts and screams from the
mems house, and understood the
worst had come. As he could see or
hear nothing of his father and the
clerk, he at once explained matters to
his mother in few hurried words, and
got her and the children to take refuge
in the cellar. Here, at the door of the
cellar, youn Corrigal stood his ground
with his fathers double-barreled shot
gun and pistols. He heard the outer
door give way from the rush of Indians
that hurled themselves against it. and
then of a certainty he knew IL ad
now come to the pass of selling his
life as dearly as possible in the defense
of his dear mother and her children.
Brave youth! Before he succumbed
to the onslaught of savages he killed
three of the Indians with his fathers
weapons, and then fell slain himself.
Nothing now to bar the way, the re-
naming members of the band entered
the cellar, and in a few minutes
mother, stepdaughter and the young
children were butchered in cold blood,
and with uplifted hands pleading for
mercy.
Thus in half an hour or therea bouts,
all that had belonged to Hanna Bay
post were dead. At least the Indians
thought so, and gave themselves up to
feasting and drinking without re-
straint.
We return now to George Wright,
whom we left as he received what was
supposed to be his death wound. He
was not dead, as the Indians imagined,
but badly wounded, his right leg be-
ing shattered below the knee Grip
pied like this, with no snow shoes, and
his only provisions the moss from the
rocks, he made his way over the most
rugged and barren country in the
world TO Moose Factory, distance of
one hundred and twenty miles. And,
wonderful to relate, he reached that
place, after untold sufferings on the
way. Great was the lament and dire

Feed Passage; G-Gutter; P-Platform-
A water supply arrangement may be
fitted in the feed-boxes if desired. The
gutter is is inches wide and deep,
and should drain into some receptacle,
manure cellar or cistern, conveniently
placed.
The feed passage goes right through
the building, so that a wagon load of
green fodder may be brought through
for distribution among the cattle.
Sloping platforms are provided for the
passage. A silo is provided, as shown.
opening into the feedroom. A stable
for calves is in the rear, SO that they
may be fed conveniently from the main
passage.
The walking stage is 81 feet wide,
and a door opens from this into the
feedroom for convenience of the at
tendant, as also another door from the
stalls. Plenty of doors save many
steps; but these doors should always
open into the stable and have springs
to close and latch them, that no acci-
dent might happen by careless leaving
of door open. Bins, of course, will
be provided in the feedroom.
1t is safest, especially with costly
cattle, to have a sufficient partition be-
tween the cows that each may lie safe
from danger of being trodden on by
her neighbor. By fitting up such a
stable as this with some attention to
ornament, it will make handsome
structure, while with the most eco-
nomical style of building, it will be neat
and attractive-at least it has proved
so in many instances.
The dairy-house should be sufficient
ly distant from the stable that no
offensive odors may reach it. This is
of the greatest Importance. For
twelve cows a building 16 by "a feet
will be large enough. 1t should have
two apartments, one 10 by 8, for the
cold-sctting-room in which will be an
ice-closet with door opening into
this room, and an outside one for put
ting the ice into the refrigerator in
which butter is stored. The other
part of the building will serve for
churning-room, and for putting up the
butter porch will hold fuel and
such things as may need separate
storing place. An attic will be useful
for storing packages for the butter. II
it is desired to use separator, small
annex for an oil engine may be at.
tachcd as a wing. If the deep-setting
apparatus is used, this building will
be quite large enough. If a separator
isu used, the room will serve for the
cream room, in which it is stored for
ripening All needed water supply and
drains to carry off waste milk to the
pig-pens, and slop from the washing
sinks, must be provided. The floor OF
the dairy should be painted, and the
building will be heated by base
burning stove, or by steam, If there is
a supply of it.-Henry Stewart, in

the threats of vengeance uttered by the
inhabitants of the factory when
Wright had told his tale.
Most of those that had been killed
at the Bay post had been related, one
way or another, to the older families
at the factory. Therefore when Mr..
Gladman, the officer in charge, made
public his determination to send out
party to capture the murderers, the
able-bodied men of the settlement to
a man volunteered to go on the expe-
dition. There was no time wasted in
unnecessary delay. Arms and the
necessary provisions for a party of
twelve or fourteen men were given
out, and the men chosen comprised
Capt. Swanston in command, Mr.. Scott,
his second, and twelve men, most of
the latter being half-breeds, who, as
rule, look down on the pure-blooded
Indians, and, in any trouble, usually
take sides with the whites.
Capt. Swanston's orders were to take
prisoner all that could be caught, but
If any resisted or refused to surrender
they were to be shot down. Wright
reported that at the time of the out
break there had been at the post sew
enteen Indians, but from the shots he
heard he judged that some of them
were no doubt killed by Mr.. Corrigal,
who, he thought, was in his own house.
Capt. Swanston considered that, with
Mr.. Scott and the men they had under
them, the party was quite strong
enough to cope with what must be now
a band of debauched savages. And
again, when he considered the wrongs
most of his men had to redress, ne was
confident they would overcome twice
their number.
When the party reached Hanna bay
they found the place had been desert
ed for some days, after the Indians
had pillaged and destroyed everything
possible. Strange to say, they had not
| fred the buildings, no doubt leaving
them rs a decoy to the ship when she
should arrive in the spring.
The sight of the hacked and frozen
| bodies of their relatives set the men
| wild for revenge, and it was with the
| utmost difficulty that Capt. Swauston
could hold them for day to bury the
dead. 1t was n painful duty they had
to perform, to thaw out the frozen
masses of humanity and prepare each
for burial; but late at night all was
completed, to the captains satisfac-
tion, and after posting two men on
guard they turned in to snatch few
hours repose before proceeding on the
| morrow

already too long and that my readers

Still, have only recorded the facts as
they happened, and have added no
imaginary horrors to the description.
After travelling on the Indians trail
for three days due northeast, over

In course of transit between New
York and New Orleans n packet of
paper money had been opened and its
contents considerably reduced. Two
Of the seals had been broken and one
had been resealed by thumb pressure.
Mr.. Carvalho, an expert in matters of
identification, endeavored to find out
the thief, and with this view obtained
wax impressions of the thumbs of all
the officials of the express company
through whose hands the packet was
known to have passed. The impress
sions were photographed and enlarged,
and one of them clearly agreed with an
enlarged photograph of the thumb-im-
pressed seal. The thief was thus de-
tected.

We attach the wire to the drumhead

The wire should be stretched so tight
as to depress the center of the drum
head about an inch, and if at any time
the tension gets slack it should be
tightened. Keep the wire from rest
ing against the wood where it passes
through the hole into the house. This
can be done by driving three or four
nails around it, leaving the heads out
SO you can tie strings to them, and
pass them around the wire so as to
keep it in the center of the hole. Set
the poles to which the wire is to be at
tached n little out of line, SO the wire
when stretched will be a few inches
from them, and then hold it in place
by short cord or loop of wire at
