From the Cincinnati Mirror. SKETCH OF WESTERN ADVENTURES. Religious performance of an Indian Chief. The following extract, is from the adventures of Col. James Smith, an amusing account of whose adoption into an Indian tribe was given in the Mirror three or four numbers back. "Tecaughretaneso" is an old and infirm chief, though still a good hunter, to whom Smith had taken a particular liking. They are absent from their tribe on a hunting expedition, in which they suffer much, from the coldness of the weather, the infirmities of the old chief, and the consequent difficulty of procuring food. "Early in April, Tecaughretanego's rheumatism abated so much as to permit him to walk, upon wich they built a bark canoe, and descended the Ollentangy until the water became so shallow as to endanger their frail bark among the rocks. A council was then held, in which Tecaughretanego proposed to go ashore, and pray for rain to raise the creek or river, so as to enable them to continue their journey. Smith readily consented, and they accordingly disembarked, drawing the canoe ashore after them. Here

the old Indian built a "sweating house" in order to purify himself, before engaging in

his religious duties. He stuck a number of

semicircular hoops in the ground, ami laid a

blanket over them. He then heated a num-1 ber of large stones, and placed them under the blanket, and finally crawled in himself, with a kettle of water in his hand, directing Smith to draw down the blanket after him, so as almost entirely to exclude the external air. He then poured the water upon the hot stones, and began to sing aloud with great energy the steam rising from the blanket like a heavy mist. In this hot place he continued for fifteen minutes, singing the whole time, and then came out dripping with perspiration from head to foot. As soon as he had taken breath, he began to burn tobacco, throwing it into the fire by handfuls, and at the same time, repeating the following words in a tone of deep and solemn earnestness: "Oh Great Owaneeyo! I thank thee that I have regained the use of my legs once more ; that I am now able to walk about and kill turkies, without feeling exquisite pain. Oh '. oh! oh! oh! Grant that my knees and ancles may be right well, that I may be able not only to walk, but to run and to jump logs, as I did last fall! Oh! ho! ho! ho! Grant that

upon this voyage, we may frequently kill bear as they may be crossing the Sandusky and Scioto! Oh! ho! ho! ho! Grant that we

may also kill a few turkies to stew with our

bears meat! Oh! ho! ho! ho! Grant that ram may come to rise the Ollentangy a few feet, that we may cross in safety down to Scioto, without splitting our canoe upon the rocks and now O Great Owaneeyo! thouknow-

est how fond I am of tobacco, and though I

do not know when I shall get any more, yet you see that I have freely given up all I have

for a burnt offering: therefore, I expect that

thou wilt be merciful and hear all ray peti

tions and I, thy servant will thank thee, and love thee for all thy gifts.

"fcmith held the old chief in great venera

tion, and has observed, that he never in his

life listened to a man who reasoned more

clearly and powerfully upon such subjects

as came before him; and he heard the first

part of his prayer with great respect and due

gravity; but when the attentions of Owa

neeyo was called to the tobacco, which his

victor bestowed upon him liberally, liis mus

cles gave away, and in spite of his efforts to

restrain himself, he hurst into a low and half-

stifled laugh. Ridicule is at all times formidable, but particularly so in a moment o:

enthusiasm and sincere devotion. Te

caughretanego was deeply arid seriously of

fended, and rebuked his young companion in the following words: 'Brother, I have

somewhat to say to you ! When you were

reading your books in your village, you

know I would not let the boys plague you

or laugh at you, although we all thought it a

foolish and idle occupation in a warrior.

respected your feelings then but just now I saw you laughing at me! Brother, I do not believe that you look upon praying as a silly custom, for you sometimes pray yourself. Perhaps you think my mode of praying foolish, but if so, would it not be more friendly to reason with me, and instruct me, than to sit on that log and laugh at an old

he was, his heart had become entangled in the snare of a young coquette in the neighborhood, who was grievously perplexed by the necessity of choosing one husband out of many lovers. Young Kenton, and a robust farmer, by the name of Leitchman, seem to have been the most favored suitors, and the young lady, not being able to decide upon their respective merits, they took the matter into their own hands, and, in consequence of foul play on the part of Leitchman's friends, young Kenton was beaten with severity. He submitted to his fate, in silence, but internally vowed that as soon as he had obtained his full growth, he would take ample vengence upon his rival, for the disgrace which he had sustained at his hands. He waited patiently until the following spring, when finding himself six feet high, and full of health and action, he determined to delay the hour of retribution no longer. He accordingly walked over to Leitchman's house one morning, and finding him busily engaged in carrying shingles from the woods, to his own house, he stopped him, told him his object! and desired him to adjourn to a spot, more convenient for the purpose. Leitchman, confident in his superior age and strength, was not backward in testifying his willingness to indulge him in so amiable a pastime, and having reached a soli

tary spot in the wood, they both stripped and prepared for the encounter. The battle

was fought with all the fury, which mutual

hate, jealousy, and herculean power on both

sides, could supply, and after a severe round

in which considerable damage was done and received, Kenton was brought to the

ground. Leitchman, (as usual in Virginia,)

sprung upon him without the least scruple,

and added the most bitter taunts, to the

kicks with which ho saluted him from his

head to his heels, reminding him of his for

mer defeat, and rubbing salt into tho raw

wounds of jealousy, triumphant allusions of

his own superiority .both in love and war. During these active operations on the part

of Leitchman, Kenton lay perfectly still,

eyeing attentively a small bush which grew

near them. It instantly occurred to liim

hat if he could wind Lcitchman's hair,

(which was remarkably long) around this

bush, he would be able to return those kicks which were now bestowed upon him in such profusion. The difficulty was to get his antagonist near enough. This he at length ef

fected in the good old Virginia style, viz:

by biting him en arricre, and compelling

him by short springs, to approach the bush, much as a bullock is goaded on to approach the fatal ring, where all his struggles are use

less. When near enough Kenton suddenly

exerted himself violently, and succeeded in wrapping the long hair of his rival around the sappling. He then sprung to his feet

and inflicted a terrible revenge for all his past injuries. In a few seconds Leitchman

was gasping, apparently in the agonies of

eath. Kenton instantly fled without even

returning for an additional supply of cloth

ing, and directed his steps westward."

Premonitory Symptoms. Nr. Archibald Anchory, contrary to the advice of the Medical Faculty and Board of Health, had cabbage for his dinner; it was his favorite vegetable for he was a taylor. In this there appears nothing strange, but at tho time, people had, from eating a half of a peach or a slice of melon, died of severe spasms. What then could Mr. Archibald Anchory expect? he having ate heartily of cabbage? His troubles and anxiety commenced with slight cramps and being pretty well convinced that he had the symptomshe began to think of the remedies. He had heard camphor, alcahol, asafoetida, cayenne, pepper, brandy, &c. &c, recommended and concluded, very naturally, that the latter would answer his purpose to a tee. He accordingly swallowed half a tumbler full, aid then began a

long walk to produce perspiration and aid

the digestion of the cabbage. Unconscious of his route, he soon found himself bv

the side of a new made grave in one of the burial yards, and thinking conversation might divest him of the thoughts of the cabbage, he began a coloquy with the gravedigger. "What did he die ofr'asked Archibald. "Cholera," replied the man, "from eating imprudently of cabbage."

The pain in Archibald's stomach grew worse. He 'made his way? hastily to tho nearest tavern, took another dose of his favorite remedy, and continued his walk. On the way he met a friend, who inquired if he had heard of the sudden death of Joe Snooks.

i;No," said Archibald, "what did he die

of?"

"Cholera" "Was he imprudent in his diet?" "Yes he ate heartily of cabbage." Archibald felt "coldness at the extremi

ties" and stopped at the nearest tavern to

take another comforter. Ho still continu

ed his uncertain way toward home, occasion

ally taking a glass as the premonitory symptoms became more and more alarming,

when he met a funeral. "What caused that persons death?" asked he of a by-stander. "Cholera, from eating too much cabbage !" Archibald took another dose the colJ perspiration ran from every pour of his skin he thought of church-yards, grave-diggers and dry bones; and when he reached Im house, he fell sprawling in the entry, and was carried to bed senseless.

Smith apologised with great earnestness declaring that he respected and loved him sincerely, but when he saw him throw the last of his tobacco into the fire, and recollecting how fond he was of it, he conld not help smiling a little, although for the future

ho would never have reason to complain of

him on that account. 1 he old man, without saying a word, handed him his pipe as a token of friendship, although it was filled only with willow bark; and the little difference was soon forgotten."

Modern CinvALar. The third chapter

of the Sketches1 is devoted to the Adventures of Gen. Simon Kenton, who is still living in the interior of this State, and who

is one of the venerable few that are to meet

in this city early the next month, to fulfil an

engagement entered into fitly years ao-o.

We enjoyed a hearty laugn over the follow

what a monstrous thing to pledge men of honor; such a thing was never heard of be

a pretty thing it would be to hear an agent

who was to be sent to America, or any where else, say that Jie would do as he liked with the ship, cargo, and money ! No man could refuse to pledge himself unless he had an intention of robbing. There was one thing, however, they were obliged to pledge and bind themselves in he meant the affair of marriage. The women, sensible creatures, took right good care of that, and bound them pretty tightly both in church and out of it, and in the various other places and ways. (Laughter.)

It was all nonsense ; no man should be sent into parliament without pledges, and the electors would not be doing their duty if they sent them there unshackled. Candidates should bo pledged to tho abolition of all tithes, to the repeal of all taxes on malt, hops, and soap to the abolition of the assured taxes and corn laws. If there was a proper reformed parliament, no tax gatherer would show his nose, save for the collection of the poors rates. Lecture to the Finslury Electors.
