(Toronto Globe's Correspondence. )

BarTcerorp, N. W. T., June 12.—I am

sad experience of Mrs. Delaney, given to _me from her own lips, and taken from her ,own dictation. '

‘*My namejs Theresa Delaney. I was

big “stock and at the cheapest prices ever offered, Do married to my husband, John Delaney, on

|the 27th of July, 1882, at Bylmer, in the | Province of Quebec, where my mother is now living, and others of my relations. | My husband resided, before coming to this country, at Gloucester, in the County of Carleton, Ont., where his father and mother jare now living. My husband and I left ‘home on the Ist of August, 1882, and went /at once to Frog Lake, N. W. T., where my jhusband held the position of Indian In- structor. When he first came up here he had five bands of Indians to look after, ‘until a year ago, when the Chippewans /were taken from his supervision and given to John Fitzpatrick. A little later Mr. Fitzpatrick was transferred to another jurisdiction, and the Chippewans again came under my husband’s care. He then ‘had to look after the Chippewans, Onee- | powhayaws, Misatoo-Kooceawsis, and Pus- | keackeewins, and last year he had to ration | Big Bear’s tribe. He was so engaged when the outbreak took place. All these Indians were very peaceably inclined, and most jfriendly to us all. My husband was much respected, and really bsioved by all under his care, and they

SEEMED TO BE MO8T ATTACHED TO HIM,

We were therefore greatly astonished at their action towards us, but after all it was only Big Bear's following that showed their enmity tous, They, too, pretended to be most friendly, and have often told us that but for my husband they would have starved. ‘The first we knew of the uprising was on the 2nd of April, at 5 o’clock in the morning. Two of Big Bear’s tribe came into our house and told us our horses were stolen by the Half-breeds, and at the same time it was they themselves who had stolen the horses and hidden them. Soon after the arrival of these two Indians, some thirty more—all armed, and most of them mounted—came to the house and forced their way in. They took all the arms and ammunition they could find, telling us they were short and wanted all. They required us to go with them, because they said they wished to save us from the Breeds. We were taken first to the Agent’s (Mr. Quinn), and the Indians also

DEMANDED IlIS ARMS

and ammunition, and had a long talk about all keeping together to keep back the breeds when they came to take the provisions. I am satisfied {now they were not sincere in this, and it was all to deceive us, for there were no Breeds to come. From Quinn's we were taken to the priests’ house. The priests were named Father Fafard and Father Marchaud, who were both sub- sequently killed. We were not at all ill- treated so far, but there was every outward appearance of friendly feeling towards us. When we reached the priests’ house Mass was going on, the attendants being some Half-breeds who had previously been taken prisoners by the Indians and detained with the priests, in the latters’ residence. The Indians would not let the priests finish Mass, ard ordered them, with the Breeds and ourselves, back again to our own house. We were all left for about an hour, the Indians surrounding the house. The priests did not anticipate any danger, sup- posing that the Indians intended having a feast of the cattle that had been given them by Mr. Quinn, the agent By this time it was about 9.30 in the morning. Dering our last detention at our house Big Bear came in and told my husband that he was frightened some of his yo.ng braves

INTENDED SHOOTING THE WHITES,

but that he, my husband, would be safe any way. At this time the only place they had plundered was Mr. Dill’s store, which they had gutted, but, while waiting, the Indians told Mr. Cameron, also a prisoner in our house,that they wanted him to accom- pany them to open the Hudson Bay store, and Mr. Cameron did so, thus in my opinion saving his life. After opening the store the Indians sent him to their camp, about a mile anda half away. After secur- ing everything in the latter store, they came to our house, and ordered us all up to the Indian camp. We departed, my husband and I, as well as all others, only taking with us what we had on our backs, not supposing we would be long away. At this time nothing of consequence had been taken from our house. It was not very cold. Before we had gone far from our house the Indians BEGAN TO SHOOT DOWN THE WHITES,

Mr. Quinn was shot first, though I did not see him shot. All who were killed were be- hind my husband and me, but I heard several shots fired, and until otherwise in- formed supposed the firing was into the air. At this time, however. Mr. Dill was killed, also Mr. Wiloscroft, Mr. Gouin, Mr. Gil- christ, and Mr. Gowanlock, the latter of whom I saw fall. Mrs. Gowanlock was be- side her husband when he fell, and as he dropped she leaned down over him, putting her face to his, and as two shots had been fired at her husband some supposed that she had fallen from the second shot. When I saw Mrs. Gowanlock fall I saw also some hideous object, an Indian got up in fright- ful costume, take aim at my husband. Be- fore 1 could speak my husband staggered away, but came back and said to me,

‘I AM SHOT’ He fell then, and I called the priest and told the latter what had happened. While

he was praying with my husband the same, We travelled cn until Wednesday night, hidious Indian fired again, and I thought tending towards Battleford, and on that Terrible Experiences of Mrs. Dela- his shot was meant for me, and I laid my night we were overtaken by the Police | head down upon my husband and waited; it scouts, who had got on our trail and follow-

by giving horses to the Indians, the only |two horses they had. These Breeds were | prisoners also, so that I was virtually still a prisoner with Big Bear ; but John Pritch- ard and all the Breeds were moat kind, and | I wish to state that I believe beth Mrs. Gowanlock and I owe our escape from ter- |rible treatment and at last massacre, to 'John Pritchard and other friendly Breeds, prisoners like ourselves. From this time forward we were prisoners for two months all but a day. Every other day we were moved with the entire camp from one place to another. Big Bear’s treatment of us would have been cruel in the extreme, but Pritchard saved us from the agony and tor- ture of forced marches through sloughs, brush, and rough land. At this time ac- compapying us were Mrs. Gowanlock, and among the Indians were Mr. and Mrs. Maclean and their family of five children, Mr. and Mrs. Mann and their family of three children, Mr. and Mrs. Quinney, John Fitzpatrick, and a Frenchman named Pierrie. I cannot say how any of these were treated, as I only saw them casually when on the march, but think they were not more ill-treated than I was myself, except that they had all

TO WALK CONTINUALLY,

except Mr. Maclean and Mrs. Mann, and the very small children. Occasionally an Indian, more humane than the rest, would offer a ride to those who were required to walk; and sometimes John Pritchard would increase his already overladen load by teking some wearied one up. Pritchard and all the Breeds walked always, though by making us walk they conld have ridden. His two little boys, aged 13 and 15, walked, though their feet became very sore at times, but they never complained, be- cause they knew their walking enabled us to ride. They were noble little fellows, I was terribly stricken down. I seemed de- mented, and could hardly tell one day what had happened the day before. I went on and on asin a fearful dream, but seemed conscious all the while of

MY HOME AT AYLMER,

and my longing for it seemed to keep me up. I was afraid to ask after my husband, but the Breeds told me latter cn that they had buried the only four bodies they had been permitted to, my husband's, the two priests, and Mr. Gowanlock’s under the shurch, but asthe church was burnt the bodies were exposed, and then I asked to have them buried and the breeds did as I requested. I should have told you that as I was being dragged away from my hus- band’s body I saw the two priests.drop. Father Fafard fell first and then Father Marchard. The former was administering to my husband when he fell, and the latter dropped immediately afterwards, as if shot by the same Indian from the second barrel of agun. During our journey we had plenty to eat, cooking it ourselves. Our direction was backwards and forwards to avoid the police catching us. We were taken from Frog Lake towards Pitt, then back again north for about sixty miles. On a Thursday—a week before we escaped—we had a battle, that is,

THE BATTIE WITH GEN. STRANGE,

The women were all left in the woods but the Indians were entrenched in a ravine, where they had dug rifle pits, as 1 was informed. This was the first intima- tion I had of our troops coming. We could plainly hear the firing. We could easily recognize the cannon. The fight began at 7 in the morning, and lasted until 10. We could not see any of it, but could hear it. At ten, the police finding they were not strong enough, retreated, and the Indians then fell back into the bush, where we were, and from thence back again farther into the bush, all of us having to accom- pany them, The breeds at this time were trying to escape, but could not do 60, as they were watched too closely. From Thuraday Big Bear’s men reteated in differ- ent bands, and the prisoners got more or less separated, some going with one band, and some with another. Mrs. Gowanlock and I were fortunate in yet being left with Pritchard, although we were all still with Big Bear. Mr. and Mrs. Maclean and Mr. and Mrs. Mann and their families were still with Big Bear. We kept on moving from Thursday until Monday, each day from early morning until late at night, but I had never to walk, nor had Mrs. Gowan- lock. On Sunday night the Indians saw scouts, who they supposed belonged to the police, and they became greatly excited, and in the excitement and heavy fog of Monday morning we GOT AWAY.

Our party that escaped consisted of Mrs. Gowanlock, myself, and five Half-breed families, including John Pritchard and Andre Nowe, the latter of whom had taken the place of Adelphus Nolan, who, on the pretence of acting as scout for the Indians managed to escape to Prince Albert in the hopes of getting help and assistance. ‘We escaped in carts, and the first day did noi go more than two or three miles. We went backwards and forwards through the bush, so as to avoid our trail being dis- covered, and the next day continued our escape, the men cutting roads through the

bush, so as to get along with all our outfit.

On Thursday morning we moved on, reach- ing Pitt on Friday about ten in the morn- where we were met by Col. Strauben- zie and Cul. Williams. All came forward to meet us, and at once we were taken on board the North-West, where we remained all Saturday and until Sunday morning, when we were transferred to the Baroness and reached Battleford Sunday night, where we have been ever since comfortably quartered at the barracks with Mrs. Laurie. I hope to leave within a few days for my home, my intense longing for which has alone kept me up amid all my

TRIALS, HARDSHIPS AND GREAT LOSSES,

I desire to express my thanks to Almighty God that he sent with us throughout such a kind and considerate protector as John Pritchard, and the other Breeds who were with him. There is notelling what abuse we might have been subjected to but for their presence. Frequent attempts were made to reach us by the Indians, but the Half-breeds watched night after night, armed and ready to keep off any attempts to ill-treat us. Four different nights In- dians approached our tents, but the deter- mination of our protectors saved us. Ter- rible as it all was, however, | am_ grateful that I came through unmolested, and am permitted to return to my home once again unharmed in body and mind.”

AYER’S Hair Vigor

restores, with the gloss and freshness of youth,.faded or gray hair to a natural, rich brown color, or deep black, as may be desired. By its use light or red hair may be darkened, thin hair thickened, and baldness often, though not always, cured.

It checks falling of the hatr, and sttmn- lates a weak an‘ sickly growth to vigor. It prevents and cures scurf and Gané@raff, and heals nearly every disease pecultar to the scalp. As a Ladies’ Hair Dresstng, the Vicor is unequalled ; it contafns netther oil nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and silken in appearance, and imparts @ delicate, agreeable, and lasting perfume.

Mr. C. P. BricHerR writes from Ktrby, 0. July 3, 1882: “* Last fall my hatr commeneed falling out, and in a short time I became mearly bald. I used t of a bottle of AY#£R’s HAIR V1IGOR, which stopped the fail- ing of the hair, and started a new growth. I have now a full head of ee ee ously, and em convinced that but the use of your preparation I should have been entirely bald.”

J. W. BOWEN, proprietor of the McArthur (Ohio) Enquirer, says : “* AYER’#’ Hain Vieor is a most excellent preparation for the hair. I speak of it from my own experience, Its use promotes the growth of new hair, and makes it glossy and soft. The Vreor ts also a sure cure for dandruff. Not within m knowledge has the preparation ever fated to give entire satisfaction.”

MR. ANGUS FAIRBAIRN, leader of the celebrated “ Fairbairn Family” of Seotttsh Vocalists, writes from Boston, Mass., Peb. 6, 1886: “* Ever since my hair began to give sil- very evidence of the change which time procureth, I have used Avun’s Haim Vigor, and so have been able to maintain an appearance of youtafuiness—a matter of considerable consequence to ministers, ora tors, actors, and in fact every one whe lives in the eyes of the public.”

Mrs. O. A. omg 1 yal iy 18 Elm St., Charlestown, Mass., A , 1882, axys : * Two years ago #bout two-thirds of my hair came off. It thinned very rapidly, and I was fast gro bald. On using Ayup’s Hair Vicor the falli — and a new growth commenced, and in about a month my head was completely covered with short hatr. It has continued to grow, and !s now as good as beiore it fell, I regularly used but one bottle of the Vicor, but now use !t cesasionnlly as a dressing.”

We have hundreds of similar testimorfiala to the efficacy of AvzER’s Hair Vicon. It needs but a trial to convince the most skeptl- eal of its value.
