Extraordinary strength and activity with the
most daring courage, and thorough knowledge
of life in the woods, won for Joshua Fleahart a
high reputation among the first settlers OF West
ern Virginia and Ohio. When the Ohio Com
pany foundedits settlement at Marietta, in April,
i775, Fleeheart was employed as scout and
hunter. In this service he had no superior north
of the Ohio. AT periods OF the greatest dan
ger, when the Indians were known to be much
incensed against the whites, he would start from
the settlement with no companion but his dog


and rangi' within about twenty miles of an
Indian town, would build his cabin and trap and
hunt during nearly the whole season. On one
occasion this reckless contempt of danger al
most cost the hunter his life. Having become
tired of the sameness of garrison life, and pam
ting for that freedom among the woods and hills
to which he had always been accustomed, late
in the fall of 1885, he took his canoe, rifle traps,
and blanket, with no one TO accompany him,
leaving even his faithful dog in the garrison
with his family--for he was going into dam
gerous neighborhood, and he was fearful lest
his bark might betray him. With daring and
intrepidily, he pushed the canoe up the Sciota
river a distance of fifteen or twenty miles, into
the Indian country, amidst their best hunting
grounds for the bear and the beaver, where no
white man had dared to venture. These two
were the main objects of his pursuit, as the
hills of Brush creek were said to abound in
bear, and the small streams that fell into the
Sciota were well suited to the haur.ts Of the

from his evil courses, and urging him to
higher life.

The SLAVE TRADE IN NEW YoRK-The in
crease of the slave trade, and the facts that all
the vessels engaged therein appear to have cleared
out of the port of New York, begin to attract at
tention at Washington and other quarters. 1t can
hardly be conceived that if the officers of the law,
charged with the duty of preventing the depar-
tnre of all vessels bound on illegal errands, did
their duty, our port would not be disgraced as it
now is by being made to rank the grand depot
of the slave trade. That they have not done their
duty in all cases has been lately proved and that
they have neglected their duty for corrupt consd-
erations, has been put on record by the dismissal
of two Deputy United States Marshals on proved
charges to that effect. But we believe that we
do not overstate the matter in announcing that
an average of two vessels each week clear out of
this harbor bound for Africa and a human cargo ;

Top-dressing is sometimes applied IN
the autumn with scarcely any percePtble
effect, white at others, as is well known, most
note worthy effects are produced. and these
differences, it is found, have direct con-

fall soon after the application is made.
