Adventure in the Backwoods

In the summer of 1815, I was traveling on business m the western part 01 lennessee. That portion of the State which lies between the Tennessee and th? Mississippi was at that time a wild drea v forest. Xo roads, nothing but horse paths through the woods; and the only marks to guide the taveler upen his journey were the blazes and the notches upon the trees. I was dressed in true backwoods fashion, and I rode a fiery mustang, with a man and tail as white as snow, a beautiful arched neck5 and an eye like an eagle. He was a perfect beauty, and as fleet as the wind. Across his back I had thrown a pair of saddle-bags, containing in one side a dozen pones of corn bread and a piece 01 bacon. tml fr tili'. thm ihor v.is a tu of rocks in the shape of two thousand dollars in gold, which I had collected, and was tran-portir.g to a bank in Kentucky, to dispose for eastern exchange. Two large wooden stirrups hung dangling from my saddle, and the holsters in "front contained two pistols. Over these, to keep them dry w.n tho squirrel fckin covers. I had been riding for several hours, swimming the rivers that crossed my path, snuffing in the rich wrfumc of the iorest flowers, Avatehing the squirrels playing about in the tree tops, and listening to the music which issued from the throats of the thousands of bright winded songsters, with which the woods abounded. I had not seen a solitary human beim; since morning, and night was rapidly approaching; indeed it had already begun to grow dark, and I had made up my mind to "camp out" for the night. I was looking around to select some good place when I was startled by the neighing of a horse ahead of me, and presently J saw two men approaching on horseback. j Thev were rough looking fellows, dressed in hunting-shirts, and with squirrel-skin caps on their heads. I did not like their looks and unseen by them, I drew tip my pistols, and cocking them, replaced them m the holsters, and casting my eves ahead, O mi W ' I saw one of the men make a motion that I did not like. I resolved if they proved to be what I suspected, I would give them a hard fight and die game. Pshaw!jwhat a fool I was!' thought I, as they rode up and bid me good evening. We conversed about five minutes, when one of them said: '.My youngster, what have you got in your saddle bags that rattles so?' 'Nails,' I replied. Nails!' said he: 'Hey, Dill, lets examine the article!' and he seized my horse by the bit.

Quick as lightning, I drew my pistols, pale-f tees? and pointing the muzzle to each of their j IIamthamck.

struck oil into the forest. After getting a few rods off, fne f them raised his list in a threatening attitude. I drew the trigger of my right hand pistol, and the villain's arm fell uKn his saddle; and uttering a yell of agony they darted off into the woods. I reloaded my pistol, struck my spurs into! my horse's side, and after ten miles of the fastest riding I ever experienced, I reached a log house, where I put up for the night. Two years af:er the incident ju-U noted took place, I was traveling down the Mismsippi on an old fashioned boat, when my attention was attracd towards an individual on board, whom I thought I had met 1. .1.

and under what cireumsta rices. At last I found an opportunity to get a good Iok at Juni, as he was seated on an old barrel head earnestly engaged in a game of 'seven up.' I stepped up, and looking over his shouldt, perceived that two fingers of his right hand were missing. The game progressed until in an exciting moment, he arose, and shaking his list in the face of Iiis opponent in answer to some remark of the latter c ncirning the game, he exclaimed: 1 swear vou lie! I placed ray hand upon his shoulder, and turning him around 'Ali! ha!' I exclaimed, 'wu've met before?' Lifting his maimed hand, his face turn-

Hunt, who was once a teacher in Boston: A cousin of mine in Charlestown having passed away, it became proper that I should attend her funeral. It was school afternoon ; I did not dismiss the scholars, and, as they always disliked a monitor, I hit upon the following plan of leaving them. I placed in the chair the large old fashioned slate, (it had been my father's) wrote on it the name of thc scholars in the order in which they sat; arranged thc needlework and reading-r-f ir I always had some c interesting work read aloud by some elder pupil every afternoon and then said, "Now, children, when the clock strikes five, leave your seat3 orderly, go to my chair, and place on the slate, by each of your names a nnlt for good behavior, and a cross for bad. When I return I shall anxiously look at the slate, and in the morning when you are all assembled, I will read the list a-1 loud that everything may be confirmed.

But I truif, in you! Un my return 1 visit-(led,

ed the school room, and found but one cross on the slate, and that where I least expected it, appended to the name of a beautiful, open, bright, brave child who then promised much for the world the fact of her having rich parents being her greatest drawback. She was the last child in school I should have thought capable of any misconduct. Well, the next morning came; the list was read, it proved truthful; but when I came to this name I said, 'My dear rhild, you must explain; why is this? what did you do?' Looking up to me with those soleful eyes, and speaking with a soleful tone, which ever made her an object of s jleful interest, she replied, I laughed aloud; I laughed more than once; I couldn't help it, because a flate was keeping rhool!' 1

Relics of the Olden Time.

Wm. IIa relay, Esq., United States fSupenntenuent ot the .Marine Jlcspital now J being erected in Haratramck, near this city, j has r.anded me some of the relics of by'one ages, found by the workmen in exca vating for the basement of the building. The hospital is located on the ground where the mighty chief Pontiac and his numerous forest warriors lay encamped during the siege of Detroit, and at the battle of Lootly Bridge, which was within a few hundred yards of it, on the margin of the Detroit River, where the bridge then, and till within a few years past, crossed the IJloody Kun, then called Parent's Creek. Among the relics is a fine silver medal with a head of the king of Fiance, proba i blv that of Louis a . It is in a state of excellent preservation. The medal is such as is worn by the chiefs. There is also a j silver wristlet or band, and a silver gorget such as is worn as an ornament on the neck or breast, .silver broaeh, Arc. There is also a scalping-knife, nearly destroyed by rust, a steel instrument to strike tire with, ja small poi-gun (stone pipe,) and a quan- ! tity of wampum. There is also the lemains of a small tin cup, which was found m the hca 1 of the skeleton, and a covert copper kettle, which was found upon the body. The kettle contained the wampum, pipe, med.il, broach. Arc, and also the leg of a bird. The body of the bird had, of coarse, perished. Other articles were doubtless buried with the chief, but have not yet been found. It has always been, and yet is, customary with these nomadic tribes to make provision for the lon'j jour ney of the dying red man to the land of the Kitche-Manitou. The cup was to drink from on his weary way; the kettle to boil his bird or other fod; the silver ornaments and wampum to decorate his person when he crossed the great river ar.d entered the spirit land. irit land. In the red man's happy hunting grounds on the distant shore, bows and arrows and other weapons are not needed, but were sometimes buried with the Indian to enable him to provide subsistence on the way. At the end of his long journey all "sorts of game can be taken with the "hand; the trees are laden with delicious fruits; 'tis the red man's paradise; the beautiful, blackeyed maidens, in perpetual youth, forever smile on the red warrior who has bravely fallen in the battle for the good of his people. Is it not to be regretted that the last resting-place of these old warriors of Pontiac, who sleep on the field of their glory, should be disturbed by the advancing tide of the cranberries, and who keeps the plants for sale, gives the following directions in io gard to Soil, Propagation, Management, tvc. Having tesb-d the plants thoroughly in all kinds ot soils, we have no particular choice in th,.ir election. AVe k,,w 0f n kind f soil in which they would not be likely to do well, if managed according to our method. We should not choose a perfect lav soil, that is extremely liable to bak, nor a perfect sand containing no power of vege'a'.i n. In extensive field culture the Dell Cranberry flourishes well in soils varying from nvit to dry. No great degree of moistadapted to the growth of this plant, but no animal or vegetable manure should b used, as the fruit draws most of its nourishment from the atmosphere. The vines propagate by runners, like the Strawberry and will flourish in almost any soil and location, under good management. Where the land is rich and liable to grass and weeds, we prepare the ground by removj ing the top soil at a sufficient depth ti pre- ! vent their growth. This may be easily done, bv blowing the sod, and removing the to'p soil in carts or otherwise. The object in ding this, is to make the soil so poor that nothing will grow to obstruct the growth of the Cranberry plants, bearing this in mind, thnt T nm full v- s-itistu.'d from j bv filling up, or by any other process. If iiivou i nierj iiie. louuneu, iu.ie no uuuculty whatever in their cultivation. Persons having a garden of moderate size, and wishing to raise their own Cranberries of a superior quality, can do ?o by obtaining a few plants, and with a small amount of labor, at the commencement, will find their cultivation b)th easy and profitable. Potatoes Butt Ends vs. Seed Ends. John Drown, of Long Island, communicated the following to the Granite Farmcr. Several years ago I made some experiments to satisfy myself concerning the disputed point as to which is the best portion of a patato to plant, in order to obtain the largest and best yield. The exact result has been lost, and having since heard and read assertions almost directly contrary to the conclusions which I had deducted, I resolved to repeat the experiments. Last spring I planted four rows of equal length, side bv side, with two varieties of potatoes. In one row I planted none but seed, socalinIudmg about one third of the potatoes, and in the next row I planted the butt ends of the same potatoes. I had one row of seed-ends, and one row of butt-ends, of a variety called Peach Blows. The yield of these four rows was as follows: Pink eyes, butt-ends, pounds 217. " seed-ends, " 170. Peach Blows, butt-ends, " 225. seed-ends, 41 17.9. 'The po'afoes raised from the butt-ends were much larger than those raised from the seed-end1!, and appeared to be from a week to ten days earlier. This result corresponds with that of my former experiment. Had the whole field been planted in butt-ends, the yield would have been j more than five hundred bushels to thc acre. 1 also planted two rows next to the above

half a tuber in each hill, cu'. lengthwise so

as to divide the eyes equally, and in the other row I dropped only s lall potatoes, one in oach hill. From the former I dug 181 pounds, and from the latter 134 pounds. I should add that the average yield of the field was ubout ICO pounds to the row, and that large (not the very largest) potatoes were used for seed, cut lengthwise, with half of a tuber in each hill." A Capital April Fool Hoax. As the Citronelle train was on its down trip to this city yesterday, an accident occurred that caused no little amusement to the passengers. As the train was approaching the eight mile station, a lady quite elegantly attired, with a lovely boquet of w ild flowers in hand, and face concealed from view bv a handsome veil, was discovered standing on the platform. The train was ordered to stop, of course, to take in the fair passenger and stop it did. The irallant conductor immediately jumpOf rrnt nnnn tho n hit .irm ;m rrwtl tint n . . m m ... - - I "w r " v "r ;w usual, "all abortrd," at the same time rais ing his hat and politely extending his liana to help the ladv aboard. She, however, did n t recognize his gallantry, but stood ! dumb 8,1(1 mtioiless as a statue. The as lonished conductor advanced, involuntari ly raised the veil, when lo! instead of a face of female flesh and beauty, thc words "April Fool" inscribed on a black "light wood chunk" met his astonished vision! He started back, gave the signal to be off with unusual violence, exclaiming to the innocent engineer, in a stentorian voice: "Who the told you to stop at this station?" The sequel to the story was richer than the foregoing. When the Mississippi train came along a few hours later, the conductor observed a female figure staudingou the middle of the track, apparently going toward the cuv. The train was on a descending grade, consisted of eight cars nretty well loaded, and was going with considerable speed. Conscious of all this the conductor had the whistle sounded furiously and shrilly, yet the figure moved not. She must be. deaf, thought the conductor, and ordered to slacken speed and sound another alarm, but the woman still stood in thc direct path of the fire-breathing locomotive; while the distance between the two was becoming rather uncomfortably decreased. Now, really alarmed, the conductor shouted to shut the brakes hard down, and shut off steam; but it was too late. The cars would not stop, and terrible to relate; the cow-catcher caught the supposed wo man and tossed her full twenty feet off, to the horror of the passengers, and the un disguised terror of assistant superintendent, conductor and engineer, floating thro' whose brains were uncomfortable visions of inquest, grand jury, solicitor, etc. When the train stopped, they hurried with palid cheeks and throbbing hearts, to the spot where lhe poor unfortunate rested, ami lo! it was the same bit of wood, with the same "April Fool" stamp that so troubled the Citroelle conductor. Just then a merry je il of laughter came from the neighboring wood, and a bevy of girls were seen enjoying something very much. It turned out that they were the clever actors of the double hoax, and they are entitled to a ptemium for the success of their invention. A'jt. Jioware of wonieiMvlio worship dress. Tu nine e;ise.3 out of ten such :i women is without a single retleeniini' tiualilicitioii. Dressy peuj.le arc those who lack brains j and cuue.-itiuii, and cheat themselves into tlie belief that the world is admiring their irew'riws, frret that their heart is utitenaled by a single womanly emotion. A man who is attracted by mere dress is undeserving of the name, and is a dear bargain even to the fool who entraps him. Young ladies who expect to catch a husband by means of a flounced j-kirt,aiid Mechin collars, should try the virtue of ability and conscientiousness before their folly consign them to the ranks of .spinsteitlom. hxtrav-j agant people a.e never jenerous.

The Abolitionists, or Fttsionists, or whatever name they may assume, have nominated O. 1. Murton as their candidate for fiovernoi, Judge Morton some two years ago, left the Democratic party and joined the Fusionists, or Black Kepublicans, and is now the standard bearer of that party. The Judge is a respectable, clever gentleman, a lawyer by profession, and a citizen of Wayne County. Personally we feci friendly tc Judge Morton, and however Ave mav have occasion to look after him on the political track, wc desire to treat him courteously. We think (Jov. Willard can beat him handsomely, and we are not in the least o-rieved tli.it the abolition choice has fallen upon tinel. a renegade Democrat. State SenO "Bv 1 Iook ok ijv Ckook." I have often heard that Hook and Crook were two famous surveyors of Indon; and that after the city had be-n desolated hy Hie plague, and the great liri about the year 1GÜG, it was by the aid of Hook or Crok, most of the titles to property were established and the old land-marks were renewed. Evcrv claim was settled either "by Hook or by Crook;" and this became a proverb in England. A Mimstkk l'lsi ii a k u a ss e n . A corrcsjKiiident of the Cincinnati Gazette states that an estimable, yet very modest clergyman, in l'iltsburg, Pa., lately mariied a lady with whom he received the substantial dowry of $10,000, and a fair prospect for more. Shortly afterward, whilo occupying the pulpit, he iave out a Imnn, reading tin lirst four verses, and was proceeding to read the fifth, commencing, "Forever let my grateful heart," when lie hesitated, baulked, and exclaimed: "Ahem! lhe choir will omit the fifth verse," ar.d sat down. The congregation, attract111 ea hy Ins apparent confusion, read the verse fr themselves, and smiled audibly as they read: "Forever let my grateful heart, His bouiullesH grace adore, Which gives ten thousand blessing-, now, And bids me hope for more."
