f ENTRAPPING A MURDERER.

In the year 1833 I went to the Red River country with a view of speculating in horses, lands, or anything that might give promise of a profitable return for a cash investment. Of course I carried a good deal of money with me; but knowing I was goa aai a ing among a wild, lawless class, ol every grade and color among half-civilized Indians, negroes, gamblers, thieves, robbers, murderers and assassins with perhaps a few settlers with some little claim to honor and honesty, if they could bo sifted or t irom tue mass l thought it tiiesaiest plan I . A. A 1 111 I i - "v" v- " .. 6v.. wnr Tii conm u i irr in rnto wnr a rrri a Accordingly I secured my money in a belt about my body, put on a very coarse. w ' a i a a a I appearance, and allowed my nair and board a- . .. to manage matters in their own way without any troublesome interference of ra zor or comb. Thus prepared, and armed with two revolvers and a Bowie knifo. I passed over some dangerous territory in comparative safety, and llattcred myself that no one guessed my riches through my apparent poverty. In fact, on two occasions, I beean to think it might have been to my ail vantage to have looked a little more respectable. The first of these was when, in traveling throngh the Ckoctaw nation, I found a drove of horses that pleased me very much, aad was told by the owner, in reply my question as to what he would take a head for the entire lot, that he was not in the habit of naming his price to every wandering beggar that chose to satisfy an idle curiosity. I was disposed at first to put on some dignity and get indignant, but coneluded, after a careful survey of my pn- . a . a son, that tue man had good cause lor speaking as he did, and so merely assured him that I knew an individual who wished to buy horses, if he could get them at a fair price. The horse-owner, however, was not iiisposect to Delicve my statement, an.i so I passed by him, with tho resolve that, ; a. mi . m a u nothing hotter turned up. l would give j him auothcr call under a more advanta jjeous appearance. As tho second instance alluded to was similar to the first, it may be parsed without further notice. But ont of this same cause grew a very remaikable adventure, which it is my prosent purpo.-c to relate. While passing between two settlements : over a 'T lOIit iV.

His hand held and) swung a formidable club, and his attitude, as he leaped mto the road before me was one of fierce menace and defian'-e. ! stopped in alarm, and while hxing my I eyes sharply upon his, qnietly slid 7 , 1 and into convenient pocKei, ami grap- .

"As it is, you can pass for I can sw'ar you hain't got a red!" "Much obligod for your candor, anyhow!" rejoined I. He still stood before me, looking straight into my eye, and now seemed to be pondering some new idea. Presently he muttered, as if to himself: "I think he might do." When, a moment after, he said to me, "I 6ay, old fellow, how'd yon liko to make a raise?" "How would I like to eat when hun gry?"

On man, living in a rather lonely quarter, ahont five miles dintant was a speculator in horses and cattle, which he sometimes bough tip and drove to a distant market. He had a good deal of monev- which it was smmosed ho kent j secreted in his dwelling; and to get pos- : session of this money, was, of course, the object in view. The trouble was that the man himself was a brave determined fellow, who always went well armed, and , aiso ,aj DC;jes ,is wif0 tw0 ßrown sons i i . i i m a ana a daughter, wnich was a lorec too tgreat for ftny ono individual to encounter.

This plan was I ' . . ... to rob the widow first of her clothing, dress me up in them, and have mo seek , lodging at the speculator's h ' ; - -- .!, r-.; onse. Then, I aaa ii Kila ii ii iiiq iiinn ght when tho family should be" asleep, I was to unbolt th? door, let in my , confederate, and we two were to attempt j the murder of tho inmates the robbery; and burning of the house to follow, and be, the concluding scene. I secretly shuddered at the attrocity of the contemplated crime, but appeared to receive the disclosure with the business air of the most hardened wretch, inquiring as to tho amount of money we should Ik OS probably obtain, and objecting to nothing but the risk both before and after the accomplishment of our purpose. I permitted my eager coropanion'to gradually quiet my fears, and at last consented to act. When everything had thus become settled, we struck off into the fields to avoid being seen, and just before dark came in sight of the widow's house. As my companion acquainted with the premises, I insisted that he should procure the female garments bnt solemnly warned him that if he harmed the poor old woman in the oftst( j wool)1 hove nothing further to do wit, iWg ftffair.

Indiana Rebels Killed at Newburg.

We learned yesterday some particulars of the killling o! I arey and Mcttord, two ! of tho traitors who guided and assisted 1 the rebel guerrillas in their attack on New- ! burg, which have not yet been published. While the rebels were carrying off the plunder they had taken from tho hospital 'and such private houses as they had robi bed, and just before they started with the ( second boat load to tho Kentucy shore, , these two villains went to a coffee-house : and took a drink, remarking to the bar - when the news of tho attack got abroad, and he said they should never leave the town alive He was armed with an old fashioned large bore riflo commonly called a "yager," and as the traitors were making thoir way towards the boat ho drew a bead on MciTord and shot him, the ball ias6ing through his hips. The traitor foil mortally wounded, bnt not dead. Carney made a dash for the boat when he saw his fellow traitor fall, but ho had run only a few feet when a door opened on tho street and a citizen, armed with a rusty old musket and bayonet stepped out and fired at him. The ball struck him in the breast, killing him instantly. The man then walked up to Mefford, who was lying close by, and stabbed him with the bayonet two or three times, but not fatally. MefTord was taken to his house and left there for some time, but the citizens were so perfectly enrnced m m o air.' As the crowd opened a trun was ( firod through tho break and the ball struck J Mefford in the neck, breaking it and killhni? him instant r Thus Dcnshod two traitors, who had guided the enemy to their own town, and assisted them in attacking aud plundering their own fellowtownsmen.

During the late exhibition of Van Amburgh's menagerie at Monongahela City, Pa., a fearful and exciting scene occurred. It appears that shortly after the audience had assembled, a terrifHc storm arose, which tore the canvass into rags, and threatened serious injury to tho spectators. While the storm king roared and revelled, one of thc huge tigers got out of his cage, which added new terror to tho scene. The vast assembly nwayed from side, to side, first to that art of the tent which had been blown, off, and then to the main entrance. Some jumbed from the top of the seats ont through the opening between the top and the circular inclosure; ethers cut themselves a passage through tho canvas, and all rushed with alarm for any

place ot escape, preferring to brave the Q 6afety. The snare consists of largo storm to taking their chance for life amid j leaves, sometimes pieces of papr, of six the crushing timbers and furious wild j jBCue8 square, covered on one side with beasts. Women shrieked for help, andra substance of the same natnre as birdebildren cried; strong men looked pale, ume, and containing a poison, tho smallest

The keepers of the animals stood by the cages of these wild denizens of the woods and jungles with anxious looks. The man who kept the elephant Hannibal stood in front of the huge brute, with his hands upon his tusks, as pale as a corpse. Ono of the lions had partaken of the excitement, and by his glaring eyeballs, erect posture, and extended and flowing mane, gave an idea of how he looks in his native forest. The tiger which had escaped from his cage was drivi i m m tt a a i .1. - : r i a t I en hack hy air. an Arahurgn into a cage with this lion, and the king of tho woods had put his huge paw upon him, and was holding him tight upon the floor.

Our New Iron Clad Navy. A number of onr available cueineering

establishments are engaged at present in constructing iron clad teamers of vartoaa kinds. Contracts have been made by the Navy Department with Capt. E.icason for ; building severa on the generali plan of tho Monitor, and some of these are now being pushed rapidly forward. Five aro being constructed at Greenpoint, L. I., where a force of nine hundred men are employed upon them by Mr. Rowland. One is be- . ing built in Jersey City by Mr. Colwell; ness than that of the Monitor, and most of them ore to be annu l with 15-ineh guns, As the general form and construction of these vessels is well known, wo need not occupy space with a further description of them than to state, that they are partially designed for sea service as well as harbor defense, by having hulls and engines adapted for greater spoed than the Munitor. j Wo understand they aro also to bo improved in their ventilating arrangements, by taking the fresh air down through the turret, then passing it between decks and i ont at the stern. Two of thcae building at i Greenport will have two turrets each, the others only one. Mr F. T. Powland built the first Monitor, and has acquired great 1 pracitcal skill in the construction of such vessels. His yard at the present moment is like a great human apiary full of active and industrous cnerey. He is also buildgreat ribs of angle iron, is now put togeth cr, some of the bottom and side plates aro on, and a huge ram is provided for tho lower Part of the bow. llns vessel at present somewhat resembles in form the . skeleton of a huge whale. From the watet line to the deck the form is like that of a long cigar, the curved sides being designed for deilccting shot. Its extreme length will be 156 feet; breadth 36; feet; deth of hold 13 feet. It will be provided with two revolving turrets and two poverful engines, and be driven by a screw. As it is expected to draw but eight lect of water, it will perhaps be very fat and make an efficient ram. Thc outside plating will bo of j -inch iron; inside of tue ribs there is to ho a courso of f-iaeh plates, then a backing of several inches of wood, and inside of all a skin of inch plates'. Quite a number of operatives are now engaged on thin iron vessel, and it is expected to be finished aa early as some of the new Monitors. When the frigato Ironsides at New York, and all of the Monitor class, wc shall have a fleet of fifteen iron-clad war vesels independently of thc Galena and a largo number of iron-plated river steamers. Stilt, with this large number of iron-plated war vsssels, which are expected to bo completed by tho month of November next, we must not overlook the fact that there is only one of them designed for a first-class sea vessel. They will make good coast and harofr-defence gunboats. -Scientific American. Catching Tigers in Cochin China. Many of thc natives of Cochin obtaii their livelihood by tiger catching, tho skin of this animal being valuable. They use a novel mode of ensnaring those savage beasts. Two Malays generally go in company and travel over many parts of the country. Those who follow this bnsinesi regularly have permits from the Quong of Saigon, allowing them to build a hot for their use in any place they see fit. This hut is built on the top of fonr ba'nboos, from fifteen to twenty feet high, and as the tiger cannot climb these, the two men can remain in it and watch tbeir snares portion of which, getting into tho ani mal s eyes, causes instant blindness. They are laid about thickly, with the birdlime sides upward, in th track of a tiger, and as surely as the animal puts his paw upon one of the treacherous leaves, he be comes a victim; for, finding it stuck to his foot, he shakes ft, by which means other leaves adhere to it, then probably rubs his paw over his head in his effort to rid himself of these leafy incumbrances but they stick to his bead and face; he then perhaps rolls him. -elf upon the ground when ha becomes fairly covered, and while scratching and rubbing himself to j get free of the bird-lime the poison gets into his eyes and blinda hiro. He growls ' and roars in agony, and this is the signal j for his captors to come up and dispatch j him. The Malays then skin the animal, and take away parts of tho body that may be valuable. They leave thc carcas, well strewn with leaves, as a bait for other tigers. Other animals they ensnare M the same manner. sTW Indian affairs in Colarado Territory are in anything else bnt a desirable j state, just at this time. A growing anr ; mosity to the white settlers is hianitest in the disposition of the Arapahoes and Cheyenes, and the recent raid of the former, in tion to do service, than they are culled to Mexico, so that to-day there is not a squad often soldiers who can be called out to dofend the lives, homes, and property of the ' citizens of Colorado, in case of an tndiaa war.
