After many yain attempts of this sort on his part, the little creature at last sobbed itsell to rest, and the mother slepton to a much liter hour than her usual time of rising in the morning. When Mr M saw shat she was ivike, he told her of the restlessness of the baby during the night, and how, af- ter having tried in vain every means to rouse her, he had at last been obliged. to imake an awkward attempt to take her place, and lost thereby some hours of his night's rest. ‘* 1, too, she replied, * passed the most miserable night I ever ex- perienced; I now see that sleep and rest are two different things. How [wish you had been able to awake me—it would spared me some of my fatigue and anxiety! T thought I was dragged against my will into a strange part of the country, where I had never been betore, and, alter what ap- peared to me a Jong and weary journey on foot, I arrived at a comlortable- looking house. I went in longing to rest, but had no power to sit down, although there was a nice supper laid out before a good tire, and every appearance of preparations for an expected visitor. Exhausted as 1 felt, I was only allowed to stand for a minute or tio, and then hurried away by the same road back again; but now it is over, and after all itis only adream” Her husband listened with interest to her story. aud then sighing deeply, said: My d ur} Sarah, you will not long have me beside you; whoever is to be your second hus- band played last night some evil trick of which you have been the vietim.” Shocked as she felt at this announcement, she en- deayored to suppress her own — feel- ings, and to rally — her husband's spivits, “hoping that it would pass trom his mind as soon as he had become engrossed by the active business of the day. Some months passed tranquilly away after this occurrence, and the dream = on Halloween night had well-nigh been for- rotten by both husband and wife, when Mr M——'s health began to fail, He had never been a robust man, and he now de- clined so rapidly, that in a short time, not- withstanding all the remedics and natten- tions that skill could suggest, or affection bestow, his wife was lett a mourning wid- ow. Her energetic mind and active habits however, prevented her from abandoning herselt to the desolation of griet. She con- tinued, as her husband bad done during his life, to farm the estate, and in this em- ployment, and the education of her little girl, she found ample und salutary oceu- pation. Alike admired and beloved for the judicious management ot her worldly at- fairs, and her true Christian benevolence and kindliness ot heart, she might easily, had she been so inclined, have established herself respectably for a second time in lite, but such a thought seemed never to enter her mind, She had an uncle, a wise. kind oll man, who, living at a distance, olten paid a visit to the widow, looked over her farm, and gave her useful advice and ossistance. ‘This old gentleman had a neighbor named C——, a prudent young mon, who stood very high in his favor Whenever they met, Mrs. M ‘3 uncle pointed his fiager in the Zivection of Mrs. M——., he suid: ** Mr, ——, we need not go any further, for if ever I am to be mar: ried, there is my wife!” « Well, C——,” was the reply, **that is my niece, to whom Tam about to introduce you; but tell me,” he added, ‘tis that what you call love at first sight, or what do you mean by your sudden decision in favor of a person with whom you have never exchanged a word ?” “Why, sir,” replied the young man, ‘1 find I have betrayed myself, and must now make my confession. A year or two ago, I tried a Halloween-spell, and sat up all night to watch the result. [declare to you most solemnly, that the figure of that lady as I now see her, entered my room and looked at me, She stood a minute or two by the fire and then disappeared as sud- denly as she came. I was wide awake, and felt considerable remorse at haying thus ventured to tamper with the powers of the unseen world ; but I assure you,that every particular of her features, dress,avd figure, have been so present to my mind ever since, that I could not possibly make amistake, and the moment I saw your nicee, [ was convineed that she was indeed the woman whose image I beheld on that never-to-be-forgotten Halloween.” — The old gentleman, as may be anticipated, was not 2 little astonished at bis friend's state- ment, but all comments on it were for the time puta stop to by the arrival at Mrs. M ‘shouse. She was glad to see her uncle, and made his friend welcome, per- forming the duties of hospitality with a simplicity and heartlessness that were very attractive to her stranger-guest, After her visitors had retreshed themselves, her un- cle walked out with her to leok over the farm, and took opportunity, in the absence ot Mr. C——, to recommend bim to the fa- yorable consid ration of his niece. ‘Tomake wu long story short, the impression was mutually agreeable. Mr, C , betore leaving the house obtained permission from Mrs. M to visit her, and atter a brief courtship they were married. ‘They lived tong and happily together, and it was trou cueit {ugar Tite Dut intormane ao an that remarkable episode in the histor her parents which we have above narrat- ed, Desperate Indian Fizht—United States Troops Surrounded. The Philadelphia North American prints aletter dated at Fort Wallace, Kansas, Oct. 1, from Lieutenant-Colonel Car- penter, who went to the relief of Colonel Forrest, when recently attacked and sur: rounded by Indians upon an Island in “Bob Tail Creek.” First. deseribing his search tor Forsyth’s party, its exact where- abouts being unknown, and their arrival in the vicinity of the creek, he proceeds to say: In the centre of the creck IT observed a little grassy place or island, with a few rees on it, and some objects whieh ap- ed to be moving. We instantly rush- ed forward, and on nearing the place were received by the whole party with loud cheers. I threw up my cap and shouted, and never felt more excited in my lite. ihese men, in this out of the way place, seemed tome like a party on the wide ocean, for they certainly were as helpless. The Indians first appeared on the 17th varly in the morning, when they were encamped on the side of the creek—a party of about fifteen attempted to run off their horses. Forsyth had been following iw trail for several days, finally was led into the wild country by it, The signs became more frequent and fresh, and the most ex- perienced men with bin predicted that they would socn fall upon a hirge village. Whien the Indi ns ran of the four or tive head of stock on the morning of the 17th, an old scout, by the name ot Sharp, in- stantly shouted that the Indians would soon appear in force and advised them to proceed to a little island in the centre ol the dry bed. Forsyth ordered them there, ind they tied their horses to a few scanty serubs near by. In about five minutes a very large torce ot Indians were ing down to the creck by ar halt a mile distant, and also some appeared on ravine behind, ‘Lhe shout was raised to dig inthe sand and get under covers Every man dug for his life—usi.g lingers, spurs and knives, gotany protection the Indians charged them about five hundred strong; some of the warriors coming within a few feet, in the most recklossmanner, A close fire with breech-loaders caused a number to tall from their horses; dead and wounded, and torced the rest to fall back, This gave the party time to dig their holes daeper. I'wo men were killed about this time. Forsyth was shotin the right thigh, a tlesh wouud, and immediately alterin the leg, breaking the bone, Grover, «& scout, trom the balls. songs, lughing, and smoking piper, evi rangued the wartiors within hearing, anc was understood by one of the scouts t tell the Indians, that these men had darec to come into their country and to disturl Indians many, and that they must go ir boldly and take their scalps. Betore they |/ gallantly exposed himself in digging «a cover tor Forsyth, so as to get him away ‘The squaws in large num- bers appeared on the hills around, singing dently for the purpose of seeing the war- riors take the scalp. A Cheyene chief har- their peace; that they were few and the A big medicine man appeared about five aud mourning ery for the dead. (ne of them was heard to ery ‘*My child! my child}” Thenext day a skirmishing fire was kept up, and the same thing the next day, butat this time it was evident that the main body had left, and that’a small por- tion had remained to observe them. : In the meantime, as ‘their rations had given, out they had to live on horse flesh. without salt or pepper, and when I reached them on the 25th, the meat had become putid. Several cf the men told me that they were unabie for the last twenty-four hours to keep it on their stomachs. You can imagine the delight they manifested on the arrival of our party. Forsyth took me by the hand and seemed quite affected: le told me that it seemed luted that we should meet in places out of the way and apart. He and two other badly wound ed men were lying ina square hole scoops ed outin the sand, within a few feet ofthe dead borses, which lay around them in aw semi-circle, and impregnated the air witl a terrible stench. ‘ ; immediately selected a place near by, and had several tents ee ny the wounded men carried over, and the rest removed to amore salubrious air, Three dead In- dians were buried by them, but over thirty others were killed und carried away by their comrades, and about.seventy wound= ed, ‘The savages were evidently ‘badly demoralized and the fight is considered ta be one ot the most desperate in the “an- nals of our Indian wars. A large bear, weighing between 400 and 500 was recently killed in: the parish ‘of Ludlow. Bruin had committed Uepreda- tions not a few during the > summer, and his presence was imything but desirable. While a young man was hunting up some cattle, he came suddenly on the vear lying: asleep in afield, with a sheep under his head for a pillow.

With two such characters at their head, bearing names renowned in history, was it any wonder that Brain had to sue- cumb, Better than bears have had to do the same belore now. Some 8 or 9 gallons: of oil were taken from the earease, and the feet of the bear measured eight inches, across.—N,. B. paper.

Allowing an average of 40 bushels per acre, the crop would be worth $8 per acre or 8 per cent on $100, As the reltive ad- vantage is about the same for other crops, it is clear that a railroad passage through a town would add $110 per acre to the ya- lueof farms.
