On Wednesday last, McCoy came from Cedar
Connty for his children; He stopped at Mr.
Chambers and requested permission to bring them there that night which was granted. He then went to Mr. Nye's in a wagon, got the four
children he claimed, and started on his retnm to
Mr. Chambers. What occurred at Mr. Nye's
we are not advised. On approaching Mr. Cham
bers, as he returned accompanied by his children
and Mr. Long, he was overtaken by Mr. Nye,
his father-in-law, and Mr. Patterson, also ason
in-law to Mr. Nye. They drove In advance of Mr. McCoy so as to interrupt his wagon, with the intention it would appear, of rescuing the children. McCoy stood up in his wagon and warned Nye not to approacli Nye conlined to advance, however. McCoy drew pistol and reneated the warnint. N ve still ad vauced and
- r - attempted to get hold of one of thechildren when McCoy fired, but the ball only made a slight wonnd. Patterson then laid hold of McCoy behind, e ifto hold him. Nye came at McCoy with his
club again, saying to Patterson, "Kill him," &c.
McCoy releasing himself from Patterson , threw
the latter in front of him, when Nye's blow
took effect on P., breaking his collar bone. McCoy had drawn a bewieknife, and on Nje egain advancing, pptung at him, avoiding his club, stabbed him in the breast.

Ridiculous Epitaphs. The London Builder has been lately calling public attention to the absurd epitaphs in the English church-yards. In edition to his own strictures, the editor publishes the letters of two
correspondents, on the same subject, which contain a selection of epitaphs which to this day,
disfigure the graveyards. The following are specimens ;
From Dorchester:
Here lies the body of an honest man And when he died he owed nobody nothing. From Biderord, Devonshire: The wedding-day appointed was, And wedding clothes provided; But when the day arrive did, She sickened and she die did. From Alverstone. Here lies my wife. Here lies she: ' Hallelujah, Hallelujee. From Savouoaks: Grim death took me Without any warning, t was well at night and died in the mornintr.
From Doncaster: Here lie two brothers by misfortune surrounded.
One dyM of his wounds, and the other was drowned.
From a church-yard at Chester:
Beneath this stone lies Catherine Gray, Changed to a lifeless lump of clay. By earth and clay she got her pelf, And now she's turned to clay herself. Ye weeping friends let me advise, Abate your tears and dry your eyes; For what avails a flood of tears t Who knows but in the course of years, In some tall pitcher or brown pan, She, in her shops, may be again .
The following is taken from the Newcastle
churchyard. Here lies Robin Wallas, The king of Good-Fellows, Clerk of Ail-hollows, And maker of bellows. He bellows did make tilt the day or his death, But he that made betlowa could never make breath.
Here Is a curious one from Hendon church
yard. Beneath this stone Tom Crossfield lies, Who cares not now who laughs or cries. He laughed when sober, but when mellow, Was a har em -scar 'em heedless fellow. He gave to none designed offence, So "Homisoit qui tnally pense."
Most epitaphs-writers try to find ont the best
qualities of thdeparted; not so with the writer
of the following, taken from a church-yard at
Manchester: Here lies John Hill, A man of skill, His age was five times ten. He never did good, Nor never would,
Had he lived as long again. And yet another: Sacred to the memory Of Miss Martha G wynne, Who was so very pure within She burst the outward shell of sin, And hatched herself a cherubim. The editor adds: "Several other correnon- , . . .- . . v. euuuary distressing outrageous of good sense, good taste, propriety and right feeling, but we do not think it desireable to print them. Our object was to aid in awakening attention to the errors that have been committed in this respect, with
the view of inducing the adoption of a better
course. The case is fully proved and needs no
strengthening.
POETICAL.
Written for the Indiana American. The Lecos' Lament. TON I OLD LANGSINE. As I walked out, the other night, I heard a loco sigh, A cigar was in his mouth, A tear was in his eye. 'It being dark as I passed by, He to himself did say, Im awful frald those tarual Whigs, This fall will win the day. tf our party had acted wise, And let old Blackford run, I think we might have stood a chance, To give those Whigs some fun. There's Ellis too, we've treated bad, A Democrat and true, And now it makes me feel so sad, When I these things review. There's Colonel Drake, who filled his place,
And served his party long, And him, we also laid aside. To make the Whigs more strong. And such a ticket ne'er was formed , As we ourselves have made, By which the whigs have fixed out theirs, To lay us in the shade. The Legislature too has done The thing up in a rag, By which the whigs will leave Us all To hold an empty bag. At catching snipes they'd better do, Than for to Legislate, For alt this winter they have done Is to seal our party's fate. There's Dunning too, it makes me swear, To think about those lands For which we ne'er received a cent, And that against us stands. There's old M'Carty too, on hand. To prod up Governor Wright; Im awful fraid that farmer man Will leave us out of sight. But its no use to cry and fret, And stay out here all night, For if we cant whip them this race Weel give'em another fight. So I'll go home and go to bed, And try and get some sleep, For now Im sure I feel as bad As if I'd stole a sheep. BILL BOWERS, the Saddler. For the American. To A Star. Thou glittering gem, whose darling light Dispels the gloom of darkest night, Like angel's eye from yon blue hight To guide our path.
Shlue on in all thy brilliant glow,
To light the sleeping vale below,
And lend this dreary world of woe
One ray of light.
A star the Saviour did proclaim,
That Saviour was for tinners slain,
But now in heaven doth ever reign
At God'. ! thou, the star shall be.
To guide me o'er life's stormy eea;
Until my bark be moored with thee,
In heaven at last. April 3, ERNESTINE.
A FEW WORDS To Very Young People who think of Vetting Married. The old rascal who concocted the following, deserves to be shut up with a whole regiment of crying babies, for three consecutive nights. See what he say, and say if he don't deserve " hom the gods love die young," sang the Roman poet; meaning that their virtue insured to them an early immortality. We wish he had told us with what particular feelings the gods regard those who marry young we mean that peculiar class of greenhorns who no soon-' er enter on their teens, but Inexorable fate impels them to self-immolatiott on the a!Ur of Hy. men. To us there is something especially painful in witnessing an unsuspecting girl of fifteen recklessly sporting on the imminent brink of wedlock, sacrificing herself to an evanesceut senti
ment, and offering to the world the auomolous
spectacle of a child-mother! Hef mind has
been prepared for the event at her hoarding-
school. She has a thoronrh conviction ihnt

The following is his opinion of the present generation: "Failed, has he! I wonder they don't all fail!

We would walk five miles to shake hands with the writer Editor of the times.
In Manchester a maiden dwelt, Her name was Phoebe Brown; Her cheeks were red, her hair was black, And she was considered by good judges, to
be by all odds, the best-looking girl in town.
Her age was nearly seventeen; Her eyea were sparkling bright; A very lovely girl was she
And for about a year and a half there had
been a young man paying attention to her by the nam of Reuben Wright. Now Reuben was a nice young man, As any in the town, And Phoebe loved him very dear But on account of his being obliged to work
for a living, he never could make himself
agreeable to old Mr. and Mrs. Brown. Her parents were resolved Another she should wed; A rich old miser in the place
And old Brown frequently declared that rather than have his daughter marry Reuben Wright, he'd rather knock him on Uie head.
But Fhoebe's heart was brava and strong And feared no parent's frowns; And as for Reuben Wright so bold.
I've heard him say more than fifty limes,
that 'with the exception of Fhoeba' he didn't
care a for the whole race of Browns. So Phoebe Brown and Reuben Wright Determined they should marry; Three weeks last Tuesday night
The started for old Parsou Webster's, de
termined to be united in the holy bands of thouerh it was tremendous
dark, and rained like Old Harry. But Captain Brown was wide awake; He loaded np his gun, And then pursued the loving pair; He overtook m when they'd get about half way to the Parson's, and then Rettben and rhoebe started efT upon a run. Old Brown then took a deadly aim Toward's young Reuben's head; but. oh! Il was a bleeding shame,
He made a mistake and shot his only daugh
ter, and had tha unspeakable anguish of
seeing her drop right down stone dead. Then anguish fiU'd young Reuben's heart. And vengeance Crated his brain; He then drew an awful jack knife out,
And nlunged It into old Brown about fifty
or sixty times, so that it was doubtful about
his ever coming to again.
Tha briny drops from Reuben's eyes, In torrents pour'd down; He yielded up the cost and died
And this melancholy and heart-rending
matter terminates in nisiory oi neuoeu and Thoebe, and likewise of old Captain
Brown.

Kidd, tbe Pirate. ST WlSHIMGTO.f IKVINO. In old times, just after the territory ot the New Netherlands had been wrested from the High Mightinesses, the Lords States-General of Holland, by Charles the Second, and while it was as yet in an unquiet state, the province was a favorite resort of adventurers of all kinds, and particularly buccaneers. These were piratical rovers of the deep, who made sad work in time of peace amongthe SpanishSsottlcmenlsand Spanish merchant ships. They look advantage of the easy access to the harbor of the Manhattoes, and of the laxity of the scarcely orgnniied government.to make it a kind of rendezvous, where they might dispose of their Ul gotten spoils, and concert new depredations. Crews of these desperadoes, the rucagades of every country and clime, might be seen swaggering, ?n open day, about the streets of the bnrgh; elbowing its quiet Mynheers, trafficking away their richoutlan-di.-h, plunder, at half-price, to tbe wary merchant, and then squandering their gains ia taverns; drinking, gambling, swearing, shouting, and astounding the neighborhood with sudden brawls and ruffian revelry; At length the indignation of Government was aroased, and it was determined to ferret out this vermin blood from thecolonies. Great consternation took place among the pirates on finding justice in pursuit of them, and their old haunts
turned to places of peril. They secreted their
money and jewils in lonely, out-cf-lhe-way places; buried them about the vrild shores of the rivers und eca coast, aud dispersed themselves over the face of the country. Amongthe agents employed to hunt them by sea, was the renowned Captain Kidd. He had long been a hardy adventurer, a kind of equivocal borderers, half-trader, half-smuggler, with a tolerable dash of the pickoroon. He had traded for some timeamoug the pirates, lurking about the seas in a little rakish, musquito-built vessel; prying into all kinds of odd places, as busy as a Mother Carey's Chicken in a gale of wind. This nondescript personage was pitched upon by Government as the very man lo command a
vessel fitted out to cruise against the pirates; wince he knew all their haunts and lurking-places acting upon the shrewd old maxim of "set-
ling a rouge to catch a rouge." Kidd accordingly sailed from New York iu the Adventure' galley, gallantly armed and duly commissioned;
ana steered his course to the Madeiras, to Bona-
vista, to Madaf-asca.-; find cruised et the entrance of the Red Sea. Indeed, however, of making war upon the pirates, he fumed ji'rate himself captured friend or foe enriched himself with
the spoils of a wealthy Indiamnn, fnafiiod by Moors, though commanded by an Englishman; and having disposed of his prize, had the hardihood to return to Boston, ladeued with his? wealth, with a crew of his comrades at his" heels. His fame had preceded him. The alarm was' given of the reappearance of this cut-purse of the ocean. Measures were taken for his arrest;' but he had time, it is said, to bury the greater part of his treasures. He even attempted to J, J-".. . J Jt U-C- U.hiJ ..A jn.aw, with several of his followers. They were carri
ed to England in a frigate, where they were tried, condemned ami hanged at Execution DockKicd died hard, for the rope with which he was first tied up broke with his weight, and he tumbled to the f round; he was tied up a second t:me, and effectually ; frjm whence arose the story of his having been ttvice hanged. Such is the main outline of Kidd's history but it has given L'.r'.h to an innumerable progery cf traditions. The circumstances of his having buried greet treasures of gold and jewels after returning from his cruising, set the brains' of all tha gocd people along the coast in a ferment. There were rumors cn rumens of great sums found here and there; sometimes one part of the country, sometimes in another; of trees' and roL-ks hearing mysterious marks, doubtless indicating the spoU where treasures lay hidden of coins found with Moorish characters the plunder of Kidd's Eastern priie. but which the common people took for diabolicle of magic inscriptions. Some reported the soils to have been buried in solitary, unsettled places, about Plymouth
and Cape Cod. Many other parts of the Eastern coast, also, and various places is Long Islan
Sound, have been gilded by these rumors, and have been ransacked by adventnrousmoney-dlg-gers. v

"The other day on reaching the top of Vesuvius I descried a man sitting astride a block of lava. I don't know why, but I marked him at once for one of my countrymen. As 1 advanced toward him, I could not help noticing the cecl manner in which he and Vesuvius were taking a morn!ng smoke together. His long nine was run out like a bowspirit, and he took the whole affiir as calmy as one would look upon a kitchen fire at home. As soon as I came up with him, he bawled out, 'Hallo strangerr pretty considerable let of lavy raound here!
j Any news down bclowT Ye haint tuckered
aout, be ye?' On my asking him if he had looked into the crater he replied: ' Yaas! bat I burnt the laigs of mytrowsers though I tell yew.
