ignited and were able to see the new kind
of enemies which aSsailed us. They
were the crabs called Bernard the Her
nit, and in such quantities that the
ground was crawling with them, of all
sizes and of all ages. We swept the
sand on which we laid down. hoping to
drive them away, and to have some sleep,
but the trou ublesome---or rather, the fam
iShng hermitS-returned to the charge
and left us neither peace nor quiet.
We were busy in resisting their attacks,
when suddenly on the edge of the forest,
we perceived a light, which came towards
us. We seized our guns, and awaited It's
approach in profound silence and with
out any movement. We then saw a man
and woman coming out of the wood, each
having torch i'll their hands. We knew
them to be Ajetas, who were coming, no
doubt, to catch fish on the beach. When
they reached within few steps from us,
they stood for an instant motionless and
gazed at us with fixed attention, al
We three were seated, watching them
and trying to guess their intentions. One
of them put his hand to his shoulder, as
if to take his bow; and instantly cooked
ment of the gunIock was sufficient to
frighten them; they threw down their
light, and scampered of Ike two wild
beasts, in the highest alarm, to hide
themselves in the forest. -.-
Their appearance was enough To prove
Aietas. The two savaees whom we had
seen were perhaps gone to inform their
friends, who might come IN great num-
bers and let fly at us their poisoned
arrows. This dread and the incessant
attacks of Bernard the Hermit, caused
us to spend the remainder of the night
near q large fire. -
AMONG THE TAGALOCS.
As soon as day broke we made an
excellent breakfast, thanks to the abun-
take whatever quantity we liked and
then set out again. Our way lay some
times along the shore and at other times
through the woods. The journey was
very fatiguing, but without any incident
worthy of notice. .-.-t-. l-.es
1t was after nightfall when we arrived at
the village of BinangOnan de Lampon.
This village, inhabited by Tagaiocs was
thrown, like an oasis OF men. somewhat
civilized, in the midst of forests and
savage people, and had no direct COM
municatiOn with the other districts which
are governed by the Spaniards.
My name was known to the inhabitants
of BinangOnan de LampOn, consequently
we were received with open arms, and all
the heads of the village disput ted with
each other for the honor OF having me as
a guest. / gave the preference to him

EoaANsBuRa, N. Y. Sept. 7. About
abon two short spans Of tho interna

II water. taking its load of human
hsight withit.
The names of the killed and drowned
1nnot at present be ascertained Al
they were mainly from Pennsylvania,
accepting a few Indians from the ST.

bur miles from Hogansburg above the

bridge that gave way was built across
tho St. Lawrence river at the foot Of

The immediate cause OF the disaster
snd the giving way Of the span OF the

and finished this summer. It had been
