(ne wile threw Ler work upon the table, and proceeded to execute his commands with every mark of unwillingness. Her countenance had displeased me on my first examining it: yet, upon the whole, ber features were handsome unquertionahbly, hat her skin was sallow, and her person thin and meagre; a! louring gluum overspread her count nance, and it bore auc! visible marks of rancor and ill-will! as could not eseape-being nuticed hy the most inattentive o%server ; her very look and action indicated discontent and impatience ; and the answers which she gave Baptiste, when he reproached her good- uumoredly ior her dissatiefied air, were tart, sort, and cut ting In fine, [ conceived at first sight equal disgust for her. and prepossession in favor of her husband, whose appearance | was calculated to inepire esteenr and confidence.

Would they were back again! J hein to feel uneasy about them.”? lis discourse was here interrupted by a loud halloo, which rung through the forest.
** My sons, [ hope!’ exclaimed the woodman, and ran to vpen the door.
The Rhalloo was repeated. He now distinguished the tramp- ling of horses; and soun after a carriage attended by several cavaliers stopped at the cottage door. One of the horsemen inquired how far they were from Strasbourg? As he addressed onnself tome, I answered in the number of miles which C:aud had told me; upon which a volley of curses was vented agains: the arivers for having lost their way. The persons in th: coach were now informed of the distance to Strasbourg, ani als» that the horses were so fatigued as to be incapable o proceeding any further. A lady, who appeared to be the principal, expressed much chagrin at this intelligence ; but as there was no’remedy, one of the attendants asked the wood- man whether he could furnish them with lodging for the night. ae
Lic seemed much embarrassed, and replied in the negative, adding that a Spanieh gen Liman and his servant were already in possession vi the only spare apartments in his house. = On hearing this, the gallantry of my nation would not permit me tu retain those accommodations of which a female was in want. Linstantly signified to the woodman that] transferred my rigitt to the lady ; he made some objections, but I overruled them, and, hastening to the carriage, opened the door, and assisted the lady to descend.

** You travel well armed.’’ said I. “ True, Monsieur,”’ replied Robert. ‘We left Strasbourg late this evening, and “tis necessary
to take precautions at passing through this forest after dark ; it does not bear a good repute, I promise you.”
+ How said the Baroness, *+ are there robbers hereabout?"’ ** So it is said, madame ; for my own part, 1 have travelled
through the wood at all hours, and never ‘met with one of
them,”’
Here Marguerite returned. Her step-sons drew her to the other end of the room, and whispered her for some minutos. By the looks which they cast to us at intervals, I conjectured them to be toquiring our business at the cottage.
In the meanwhi.e, the Baroness expressed her apprehensions that her husband would be suffering much anxiety on ber account. She had intended to send on one of her servants to inform the Baron of her delay; but the account which the young men gave of the forest rendered this plan impracticable. Claude relieved her from her embarrassment: he informed her that he was under the necessity of reaching Strasbourg that night, and that, would she trust him with « } tier, she mizht depend upon its being safely delivered.
** And how comes it,’’ said 1. that you are under no ap- prebension of meeting these robbers?’
“Alas! monsieur, a poor man with a large fami!y must not lose certain profit because "tis attended with a little danger ;
ind perhaps my lord the Baron may give me a trife for my pains ; besides, I have nothing to Ise exvept my life, and that will not be worth the robber’s taking.’’

HORRIBLE MASSACRE BY TILE INDIANS.
Papers received by the Jast mail from Salt Lake contain the details of another Indian massacre, which occurred twenty-five miles from Fort Hall, on Lander’s cut off, on the night of the 2d of September, on a party consisting of six men, three women and tem children, part from Michigan, and part from Buchavan coanty, lowa.—The massacre must have been a most borritle one. The emigrants were sur- rounded just as they were about camping, and shot down hefore they had time to: prepare for defence. Some who seaned, fell in s20n after with a company of dragoons under command of Lieut. Livingston, who sent a detachment to the seene of the inassucre. The folluwing is the description of what they found :
* After informing the command of our distress, Lieut. Livingston sent a detaciment of nine men, with one of our company, to pilot them to the plave of the massacre. On their arrival they found the dead bodies of (ve persons on the ground, out of the eight that were missing. The dead were horribly mangied and sealped. One tittle girl, five vears old, hath both her legs cut off at the knees; her ears were also cut off, and her eyes were duy out trom their sockets ; and to all appearance the girl, after having ber legs cut off, had beea compelled tu Walk on the siumpe, lor (ue sole purpose of gratifying their Leileb propensity of savage barbarity.
Their animals were takem and their wazgons plundered ac cording to the usual mode of Lucian spoilation.”’
Another accouut says:
‘The ill-fated train was compesed of seventeen persons from Buchanan Co., lowa. We can only give their su:uames : —A Mr. Miltimore and family, (wile und 8 chidren.) a Mr. Till, wite, and Messrs. Clive avd Marsh, passengers ; Mr. Harrington, wife and mployee. In the evening of the
