Mountains and Meadows of the
Connecticut Valley.
In the town of South Deerfield is an
abrupt rocky bluff, rising some six hundred
feet above the Connecticut River, and known
as Sugar Loaf Mountain. Though only about
half as high as Mt. Holyoke, its peculiar
shape and its rough jagged sides of red sand-
stone upon which trees and shrubs find itdif-
ficult to obtain a foothold, make it a promi—
nent land mark for miles around. It seems
like a sentinel, keeping guard over the river
at its base, and the pretty village by which it
is surrounded.
Early one pleasant morning we started to
visit this beautiful part of the Connecticut
river. The storm of the previous day had
cleared and cooled the air, and the mountains
stood out distinctly against _the blue sky.
Every tree and shrub was glittering with dew
and glistening in the sunlight. . It wasthard,
to realize that so short a time since this happy
valley was visited by one of the fiercest tor-
nadoes ever experienced, even by the “oldest
inhabitant.” But as we neared Amherst,
signs of the destroyer appeared on all sides.
Branches twisted from giant elms and maples
strcwed the ground. In the fields we could
see large trees which had been snapped com—
pletcly off, and many which had been blown
over lay extended near the immense cavity
from which their roots had been forced. We
can hardly understand why more lives were
not lost and more buildings destroyed, by a
storm which could occasion such devastation
as this. .
Upon leaving North Amherst we soon
caught a glimpsebf Sugar Loaf, seemingly
directly in front of us. The house upon the
summit appeared exactly like a small white
bird house, and it seemed, indeed,,as:_i_f one
must :needs fly to reach it, so frowning and
inaccessible were the rocky walls which over
look the river. Crossing upon the iron bridge
at Sunderland, recently built in place of one
which was destroyed by a previous tornado a
few years ago. We rode around the base of
the mountain till we reached the only side by
which it may be approached. There, being
informed by a sign board that there was a
“good carriage road to the summit,” and hav-
ing been assured by friends that “the way
was not very steep, nothing to frighten one,”
we commenced to ride up. But we did not
ride long, for after a few minutes it seemed
expedient to get out and trust to one’s feet
for the remainder of the ascent. We had
climbed mountain roads in the region around,
but never before had we felt an uncontrollable
inclination to push on the back of the car—
riage, lest horse and all should suddenly cap-
sizc and roll backward into the river. The
road was well made and free from stones, but
very steep, and climbing up was very fatigu-
ing. But stopping sometimes .to look back
we were rewarded by glimpses through the
trees of the landscape, which rapidly unrolled
beneath us. On reaching the summit a bean-
tiful picture Was spread out before our eyes,
Mt. Holyoke at the south seemed rather dim
and distant, but just through the gap we
could discern the city of Holyoke. Close at
our feet lay the river, lookingas if we could
easily jump into it, and across the river Mt.
Toby, crowned with its tail tower, looked
benignly down upon its smaller sister mount-
ain, and its tiny white cottage. ‘
At the time of the Deerfield massacre it
was among the rocks and glens of this mount:
ain the Indians concealed themselves 'be—
fore bursting upon the unsuspecting inhabi-
tants below. In gazing upon such a scene,
imagination leadsone back a few hundred
years to the time when no white man dwelt
in the Connecticut Valley, and its mountains
concealed the haunts of the savage wild beast
and the still more savage Indian. The glit—
tering river, rippled in [the sunlight and the
foreshélad hills kept watch above it, then as
now. Pleasant villages with their church
spires betokening the abode of civilized man,
cultivated fields, and bridges spanning the
river, all. are swept away as by the magician’s
wand. Instead of the thick black smoke from
numerous factories come the thin blue stream
curling gracefully upward from the wigwams
in the Indian settlements which dot the fer—
tilc.banks of the river. " ‘Glidlbg'over its‘sur-
:facc darts the birch canoe lightly as a bird
skims thevsurface of the __water——. ‘At this
point in our meditations we are interrupted
by the near whistle of a train of cars, which
is so unpleasantly suggestive of the Indian
War whoop that we shake ourselves mentally
and conclude it is about time to descend into
the lower regions. Rushing down a steep in-
cline at a somewhat accelerated pace, we feel
relieved at emerging from the woods into the
sunlight, and are thankful that we did not
live in the 16th century.
At Deerfield we read the inscription on the
monument erected in memory of the seventy-
six soldiers and their gallant captain, “the
flower of young men of the County of Essex,”
who were murdered by the Indians near that
spot, and whose bones lie hurried under a
stone slab p few rods distant. It is hard to
realize that such a tragedy transpired at so
peaceful a spot, and that the name of the lit—
tle stream over which we cross, was at that
time changed from Muddy to Bloody Brook,
from the color given to its waters.
Leaving Deerfield behind we ride through
about six milescf tobacco fields”, extending
as far back as the eye can reach, and occa
sionally diversified by patches of corn and
onions. The tobacco plant requires very rich
soil and has to be carefully topped to prevent
it from going to seed. It has very large thick
leaves and grows about three foot high. Just
now the farmers are cutting it and transfer—
ring it to tobacco barns where it is hung up
to dry, when it is nearly ready for market.
These barns are provided with ventilators on
the sides and top, to increase the circulation
of air. A few years ago the farmers about
this region, knowing that tobacco brought a
very good price in market, spent large sums
of money in building harps and buying for—
tilizers hoping to make their fortunes. But
before the crop was harvested the price fell
and many of them lost so much that they be-
came bankrupt.
As we neared the tubacco region the atmos
phere became smoky and the sun beat down
so fiercely that we crossed the new bridge at
Northampton and hastened homeward, having
traveled thirty miles and spent a most de-
lightful day. -

FORT MIAMI. "
Our little band of pioneers commenced
their labors by building Fort Miami. Ac
cording to a plan previously adopted, they
erected four block houses, suitably distant
from each other to form an oblong, filling
the places between with four rows of build-
ings, excepting three places for gates, one
at each end, and one on the side next to the
Ohio river, called watergate. It was im—
portant to finish the fort befo re the Indians
quently they were very persevering in their
efforts, all the time. keeping out their sen-

middle of December, they had the pleasure
of announcing in military style, the com-
pletion of...tb"eir-'vvork, by firing 'a few pia-
toons, using their rifles and a brass blunder-
buss, kindly furnished by Judge ‘Symms
when they left Maysville. Some hunters
on the Kentucky side, heard the firing and
supposing the Indians had attacked the new
settlement, returned to Washington with all
possible speed, to give information, and in
less than 43 hours from the time of the fir-
ing, the settlers were surprised to see more
than fifty bfive, generous hearted Kentuck-
ians coming to their relief. Although they
did not need assistance they were greatly
encouraged to know the readiness of their
Kentucky friends to help when necessary.
Among them was the celebrated Indian hun-
ter Major Kenton. The hearts of the set-
tlers were filled with gratitude which in—
creased to overflowing when these friends
on leaving. assured them that they would
hold themselves in readiness to respond to
any call from them, when help should after—
ward be needed . ~
Having finished the fort and made for
their defense the best preparation in their
power, without seeing any Indians, and be—
ing much encouraged by the coming of
Lieutenant (afterwards General) Kingsbury,
of the United States Army, with a company
of soldiers, they began‘to think of preparing
to raise a crop of corn. Three of their
companions were appointed to go out and
select land for that purpose, who after ex—
amination fixed upon an open piece of ground
about a mile from the fort, on the Miami,
which they called _“Turkey Bottom” on ac-
count of the number of turkeys seen there .
On this piece of ground there was but little
timber excepting honey locust which was
easily deadened and some large sycamore
trees which they avoided informing their
eornfields. On their return to the fort,
they unexpectedly found themselves in the
midst of a party of Indians, superior in num—
ber to themselves,» and'from whom there.
was no chance to escape. Mr. Heamstead
raised his rifle and was in the attitude of
his hand raised the muzzle of his gun above
his head, saying: “Do not shoot, I am your
friend, Leariny,” that one of the Indians
could speak English, and that they were
disposed to be friendly, they entered into
conversation with them about their new set—-
tlement and the advantages; both parties
might derive in a way of trade by living
near together. To this the white men con—-
seated, on condition, that one Indian should
first go with one white man into the fort
and give notice of their coming and get the
conscnt'of'the' people in the‘ fert ’ to théii‘
making them a visit; the other white men
remaining with the rest of the Indians. as a
guarantee that—the Indian going into the fort
should not be killed. The Indians consent -
ed and one of each party went accordingly
and having obtained consent for the Indians
to visit the fort, provided they came unarm-
ed, so as nor to alarm the white women,
they returned and informed the rest, and all
went into the fort together; the Indians
leaving their guns, tomahawks and scalping
knives on the outside. After some time
spent in friendly conversation, and giving
pledges of mutual; friendship, the Indians
retired, giving the white people an invite-
tion to visit them the next day, at their camp
near the place where Newtown is now lo-
cated. In the morning. according to the
promise, Ephraim Kibby. and Hezekiah
Stitcs took the two horses belonging to Ma—
jor Stites and rode five miles to the place
where they found about thirty Indians (in-
cluding a few squaws and children) who had
encamped to spend the'winter in hunting.
The two men were received by them with
every token of friendship they could give.
Two Indians invited them to spend the day
in hunting, to which they agreed. Soon
after leaving the Indian camp, ithey divid-
ed into two parties, Kibby going with on
Indian and'Stites with the other. , -

Few people in gazing with admiration at
the gorgeously decorated car in which Bar-

is known only to show people and those
brought int) close relations with them; but
to all such folk his standing by-phrase,
“That ain‘t nawlhin',” are familiar as the
seasons. Keeler is a thoroughbred Yankee,
perhaps,69_years of age. He: has been - as.-
showman nearly all his life. Scrupulously
honest, and utterly incapable of telling a de-
liberate lie, he has acquired a reputation
"for romancing that extinguishes Munchaus—
en’s in a dribiet of contempt, It would re—
quire stronger proof‘ than holy writ (he
knows holy writ by its connection with the
behemoth) to convince him that he has not ,
traveled around the world and particularly
all over Africa-and this in the teeth of the
vouched for fact that he has never crossed
the boundary line of the United States ex—
cept when he went to Canada. One even—
ing about a week ago while the car stood
upon a side-track at the Rock Island depot,
the old gentleman was surrounded by stacks
and'rolls of sample bills, spun it about thus:
“I was goin' down the street in Prov—
dencc one day when along comes Barnum
himself. , .
“Where you goin.’ Keeler ?’ says Bar—
num.
-‘ “To Rocky Pint, to clam-bake,’ says I.
“ ‘You goes to Africky toAnight,’ says Bar-
num.
“ ‘What fur ?’ says I.
“‘To buy} animals an’ curiosities,” says
he.
“ ‘What do you want P’ says 1.
“ ‘Elfunts—big ones—camels, tigars, leop-
ards, an sicb. Your supplies is all aboard
the Lively Polly, and she sails in the morn—
ing.’
“So away I starts. After a tempestuous
passage of 87 days we drove on the lot in
the Cape of Good Hope. I sent out my
coun bill-posters, and you can bet your
life ry bill-board between the cape‘and
the desert of Sahary is covered with prinlin’

wagon load of supplies to purchase animals
with. What kind? Beads—beads; red,
white,“ blue and yaller—strings; breech—
cloths of gauze, muslin an’ duck, plain cm—
broidered and frescocd, for men, women and
children; about three bushels of safety—pins
—brass an’ steel; and a little blunt—mon-
ey—for my own use. I takes 200 niggars
with me, mounts a camel,and up the country
I goes. ' ' '
“Did I meet Citywayou 1’ Wal, I should
rather think I did. That ain’t nothin,’ I
stayed with the old coon a month. He had
a nice new barn painted red, and I put the
that there barn ever you see. One night
old Cit an' me was talkin’ when, ‘Keeler,’
says he, "bout 200 mile from here up on
up in along row an’ I goes along behind ’em
and slaps a snipe printed ‘P. T. Barnum’s
Great. and .Only Show on Earth’ right on
every breech-clout, about three inches below
the belt. Then we was ready to make pro-
cession. When we got ready to start, Citrlfe
comes up to me and he hitches a little bag
around my neck with a cotton twine.
“What’s that, old fcilcr ?’ says I. .
“ ‘That, says he, ‘is an omclctte,or fisti-tcli
—-a kind of 'charm to save yer life,’ says he.
You‘ll not git a black eye while you wear
that,’ he says. And off we goes.
“What kind of an animal did you ask?
Why, it was a ramfcrinkus. Never heard
of a ramferinkusl Why, that ain’t naw-
thin’. It’s about 30 foot high, 'with a tail
longer’n this car and thicker’n the Nova
Scotia giantess, with a big stinger on the end
of it; and he rairs up and fights with ary
foot an’ with his horns or' tush'es—he’s got
’em all-:an’ therefs hair onhis breast. Gosh!
What an _ attraction he would a’ made.
Trachines ‘ or tattoos wouldn’t be now—
thin’ to ’im. There’s only two on ’em left
now. Tliey’s'two old stags, and they fight
sometimes till the country shakes for miles
ar‘ound. _.
“Wal, We moved out o’,’ the country seat
where Citywayou lives about thirty miles on
the turnpike till we struck a direct road,
when about 5,000 of: them up—the—country
niggers tackled us. Armed? Well,I should
smile. Every one (if ’em had a breech-
loadin, assayguy an’ a pocket-pop.» We had
an elegant scrap, but we downed 'em. I got
a fur coat to homc‘madc out’n the scalps we
took that day—me an’ my makes. But that
ain’t nawthin.’ We captured tnc king, ’an
got ’im in the show now. His wife offered
me a bar‘l of gold dust an’a wagon load of
elephants’ tushes to give him back againf
But ‘No,’ says I, ‘I’m in these parts repre-
sentin’ P. T. Barnum, and what he wants
is curiosities, not plunder. So I tied him
with atwine string to his thumb at the tail
of the wagon, an' off we went. 0, yes!
About the ramferinkus—I was going to tell
you. Wal, two nights afterward I was
sleepin’ in a tavern and I felt the earth com-
mence to shake. ‘Bout five miles from that
town the ramferinkuses was a fightin.’ We
hustled out there in the moonlight, and I
never see the like in my life. For two miles
around the ground was covered with blood
and hair and solid chunks of iv’ry big as
your fist they’d knocked out of each cther’s
tuslies. But that ain’t nawthin.’ I see
about’2,000 beheemawths; of holy writ a
fightin’, once, up the Nile. Fight? Wal, I
should say a beheemwath would fight. Them
2,000 was a snortin’ and a ratrin,and a chunk-
in’ each other like a ton 0’ wild cats.
“Wal, as I was a sayin’. ’bout them ram—
fcrinkuses, I noticed that when we sighted
’em _ther horns‘was "lobk'ed, land they was a
standin’ on ther hind feet,an’ there they was,
fast. ‘This is luck,’ says I to myself. ‘Come
out for one, an’ bag two ;’ but jest as I was a

ever a palmtree was clim. I jest about clim

Life in Hotels.
Speaking of the Conkling affair, a gentle-
man who has boarded for years in one of the
leading Broadway hotels, said last night that
the general public has no idea of the kind of
life that is led by fashionable women who
board at hotels and have nothing to do but
kill time. “Any hotel barkeep'er can tell you,”
he said, “that the orders for wine from
rooms occupied by these women are enor-
mous. They are generally sent in the day
time, when husbands are attending to busi—
ness down town, and the wine is always paid
for at once. Who pays for it? Well, the
visitors generally. What visitors 1’ Oh, you
don’t understand. These idle women have
a great many visitors, mostly men from out‘
of town, club men and others with money
to spend but nothing to do. They call when
the husbands are away and make. themselves
quite at home. The women usually receive
them in the parlors, and it is afterwards an
easy matter to invite. them into their rooms.
Orders for :wine’ and other mfiehhmébts are
then sent down and there is a high-toned
carouse for a couple of hours. Of course
the visitors are careful to be out of the way
when the husbands get home to dinner, and
the women are equally careful to see that
no trace of the pleasant dissipation remains,
though, if they have been too free with the
wine, they don’t always succeed in hiding
that."
“Why don‘t the hotel men stop it.”
“Well, some do. There are hotels in
which nothing of the kind can be repeated
and no impropriety of any kind caniake
place a second time; but the matter is a
delicate one to touch, and the hotel men pre-
fer to keep clear cf it. if they can. There
are some hotels, though, where no notice is
taken of it. Visitors may come and go as
they please, and wine orders are filled with-
out questions. ‘Wc are not a moral police,’
say the managers of these hotels, ‘and it is
not our business to keep hotel guests under
surveillence.’ I tell you, a young wife whose
husband is absent during the day should
never board at a hotel, and it surprises me
that men [of experience, who, know the, world:
and the sort of people in it don’t keep their
wives away from hotels altogether. They
are in danger all the time, and many of

relief is ready to the hand of'almost anyone who

gentle assistanteto nature.
CONSTIPATION 1
SHOULD not be regarded as a trifling ail-
ment—in fact nature demands the utmost reg-
ularity of the bowels, and any deviation from
this demand paves the way often to serious
danger. It is into as necessary. to_-_ remove,
impure accumu ations from the - owcis as it "
is to eat or sleep, and nohcaith can be expect-
ed where a costive habit of“ body prevails.
SICK HEADACHE i
This distressing affliction occurs most frequent-
ly. The disturbance of the stomach, arising
from the rm ei fcctly digested contents, causes it _
severe pain n-the head, accompanied with disa-
greeable uasea, and this constitutes what is pop-
ularly known as sick headache.

Manufactured by the BACKUS WATER MO-
llslebrstel .. Safes.
In purchasing a Safe, we wish to call your
attention to some of the important advantages
our Safes possess over: all others, and which
medic them the cheapest and best Safes" now’
ma e. . ,
ist. Our “PATENT INSIDE BOLT WORK"
consists in placing the bolts and locks on the
inside of the door (as shown in the cut aboveg
where they are at all times accessible, an
can be cleaned and. kept in order, and thus
prevent them from unexpectedly locking you
out. In all other Safes the bolts are placed
next the outside plate of iron, being covered
completely by the filling, consequently im-
possible to oil or clean them without digging
out the filling, which is. expensive, besides
losing the use of the Safe several days. As
the filling in our Safes is between the locks
and. bolts and the outside plate of the door,
in most cases we can unlock our safes on the
combination after they have passed.through a
severe fire, which saves breaking them open.
2d. Our “PATENT Hmenn CAP”- , consists
of the back plate of the door being hung on
hinges, and fastened by a thumb-screw,which
enables one to have access to the locks and.
boltsby simply removingthe thumb-screw. .
3d. "While other safe-makers use three
wheel locks .on their fire-proof safes (reserv-
ing the best four-wheel locks for bank. safes),
we put on our Fons—WHEEL; Looxs‘ _on all
safes, from the smallest to the largest, and for
simplicity and durability cannot be excelled. '
4th. All our Safes are moN-annn msimr,
instead of wood-lined as in other safes, which
enables'us to use the the greatest amount. of
water in our filling without dan er of the
Safe’s being damp. All corners o the Soft!
are secured with angle iron, which, together
with the very hard nature of ourifilling, pre -
vents them from injury from falling, or fall—
ing walls. or timbers. Our Safes have Tnnnu
‘FLANGEB instead of single or double as in
others, and are made with and without inside.
doors. In the great Boston fire our Safes had
the champion'reeord, as was fully proved at
the time, to these important improvements
do we owe our success and the great popular-
ity our safes have attained throughout the
country. After that great fire'we published
a complete list of our Safes exposed,those that
failed to preserve their contents, besides those
that were successful, and, for months chal—
lenged our competitors to follow our example
which they would not do, as they knew that
by so doing they would only assistus indem-
onstrating to the world the superiority'of our
Safes, and our claim to the champion record.
Although that Great Fire so conclusively
proved the'superi'ority of our Safes to resist
intense heat, we believed that we “could im-
prove them, and we have, therefore, since
added to the number of flanges, and strength-
ened them in various ways, until we now
manufacture a Safe better than ever before,
andupequallul for its excellence, It has been
mm’constantcsim to makythme'SATE that“
can be‘sprodu _- rd, believing that, especially in
purchasing a ".lfO to keep that which may
have cost a li ft-time to accumulate, the best is
decidedly the cheapest. In these dull times
it is the cush-nr of many safe—makers to man-
ufacture sew: ..l grades of cheap safes, and
recommend that which can be sold the cheap-
est, withoug regard to . quality, and many.
safes‘ar'e‘ndwldum that ‘ are painted. ' (finely
outside, but are worthless to preserve their
contents from fire. We make but one class
of Safes, which is the best we know how to
produce. Send for descriptive catalogue.

MOVIES an Army.
wrrv OLD-rials nos'rs nor over: 18:36:20an

Genghis Khan got over the world twice
somehow, and great Tartar armies used to
'move about Russia ages before roads were,
and in regions where they must have carried
a large portion of their 'own' supplies. The
Turkish armies before. Vienna must have been
fed.” The Asiatic monarchs made war‘with
thgearmics in roadless lands,and sometimes,
as in Persia, where no kind of requsition
would have produced supplies. The com-
mm‘ 'at _of Xerxes and _Alexan der and Ba—
ber and Nadir Shah. I"! .IUPPlied somehow,
and they .811 must have moved. through very
desolate regions. Of course, tbennmbers
attributed to Xerxes are pure nonsense.
Nobody ever did or ever will march the, pop-
ulation of London 38.311.03.111! M31“ 0”:
and from any place whatever. ' Still large
armies have moved very often in, very des~
olate. regions, particularly in A8111, without
any 0’ the difficulties being visible to his-
torians which seem toparalyze Lord Chelms-
ford. We think, however it will always be
found on examination that there were cer—
tain peculiarities of such armies not toler-
ated now; that nobody cared who lived
or who died; that the wounded and sick
perished or got through as they could, as
Turkish soldiers do now; that there is noth—
ing to carry except bare food, and very lit—
tle of that, except flour, each man carrying
his own arms, and there being little'artil-
iery; and that scarcely any attempt was
made at wheeled wagons. Whatever had
to be carried was on camels, oxen, and
above all, ponies, which were fed on any-
thing, like the men, overdriven, starved and
used up in great herds. Requisition did al—
.most everything—nobody was paid, the man
who did not'get ‘ along was killed or left to
die; and the track“: of the army was marked
by skeletons for a quarter of a century af—
ter. The great difficulties of a modern army
expense and humane feeling, were entirely
absent. _We suppose. Alexander cared for
his Macedonian Hoplites, but everybody else
might die without attracting anybody’s no-
tice, except the vultures’; and if enough
men are sacrificed the elitecan be carried
along. Hyder Ali said he would have sent
the Europeans to battle in palanquins, so
sacrificing eight non-fighters to each fighter;
and in principle that is what theAsiatic
warriors did, do, andso- did the small Span;
ish armies which conquered the New World.

pony, and leave artillery behind, and the
force would get "along somewhat easily
enough. And then there is the element of
time. The frightful expense of campaign—
ing makes modems impatient, but the old
warriors and the Asiatic warriors knew no
more‘of time than they". did of clocks, and
marched as. the Chinese general in Kashgsr
does now, as if the .» proper way to spend life
was to keep, marching. , ~Handouts not care
if 200 miles take him two years, and on one
occasion, if- we remember. Mr. Boulgcr’s

carried on wheels drawn by animals, and if
they are so carried, transport will‘always be

"The Dixon liIIl’riltilu~
It is quite possible that Captain Dixon’s
death may be morevuseful than his life
would have been had he been sufiered to
live. .He was by: no mean, 5 anadmira, ' ble
per-so” 11 yet not the less has he died a martyr
in the cause of civilization. We shallhear
a good deal about him within the next few
months and after Congress has met. By
his murder formal notice has been given
that the same methods employed to make
Mississ' ippi a democrat State are still to be
used if necessary to keep it. in the democrat—
ic fold. As men go in that semi-barbarous
community Dixon was not a bad- fellow.
He was a gentleman by birth, of a good old
Virginip family, married into a wealthy
Mississippi family, and owned a large pian—
tation. He served in the confederate army,
and there won his title as captain. From
the War-M's obituary of him we take the‘fol—
bwing: - ‘ -.
He is believed to have killed many men,
and it is known of .him that in 1875, when
he was redeeming the. country from radical
rule, he at one time com lied acrowd of
negroes to hang their own eader. Hehsd
heard that a movement .was preparing among
the negroes against huh, and rode alone on
horseback to the place where the negroes
had gathered together, carrying a» rope over
his saddle bow. When he came upon them
he covered the leader with his revolver and
ordered him to step out. The man obeyed.
Selecting four other negroes by name, he
bade them come to him and take the rope
which he gave them. "Putitround'that
man’s neck,". he said. They obeyed. “Now
then, one of you go up that tree .and' reeveit
lever that bough." This was done... “Now
then, pull away, you three!” .The three
men pulled, and upon Dixon's committid, .
made, the rope fast when their unfortunate
‘ ' leader was fairly swingingin the air Dixon
'sat on his her; eyeing the - scene until he
was satisfied that the man was dehd, ' and
then forbidding the negroes to cut him down
for twenty-four hours, orderedthemtoidil- ‘
m which they did, andqnietly rode oil
For this and other-scrvices of the kind,
his admiring. follow citizens presented him
with a massivesilver pitcher. on which was
