Lawrence Bar rett is an artist, but cold and measured in manner, and without the inspiration of genius. E. L.

A Scrap of Aboriginal History. .!! 1 To the Editor of The Observer: Nearly two hundred years ago, on western bank ot the Catawba ri vermin what is now Catawba county, between the buildinas ot tne Catawba Alan utac turing Company and Powell & Shu- ford's cotton factory, (the two firms are iust one mile apart) a bloody battle was 1 A 1 A .. 4.1. 1.1... ,1 1 .1 tawba Indians. The facts as related to the writer by a descendant of one of the first settlers cf this section of country, (John Clarke, Sr.,) were derived by him from his .father, who had them from the Catawba Indians themselves. The tradition runs as follows : The hunting grounds of the Shawnee Indians were on the Yadkin river and its tributaries, while the Catawbas oc cupied the banks of the Catawba, The two tribes were frequently ;it war with each other, and in the course of one of these petty wars, the Shawnees made raid on the Catawbas.- Crossing the river at one of their favorite fords where Powell fc fcjhulord s factory now stands, and' striking the old and well beaten trail, they followed it down the stream about six miles, to the Great Bend, or as it is now called, SherrillS' town, where the Catawbas had a village or encampment, lhe Shawnees, -com.' incr linPYiiPftpm v linon tliPir prrprrrv su -prised and captured a few of the.Ca- tawuas, witn tneir came, ana reiuruea with all hate up the stream to the crossing, where they camped for the night in a deep ravine, not more th;m fave hundred yards irom where the lac tory now stands. The Catawbas, rallying after their first surprise, followed on the trail of their enemy, and came up with them some time during the night, and at once attacked them from the side of the hill overlooking the encampment. The struggle was short and bloodv, the Shawnees being totally routed and scat tered, retreating' as best thev coulc across the river tMv&rds their villages oa i ne i auKin. The Catawbas collected their proper ty, and buried the dead of both tribes on the brow o.f the hill overlooking the battle-ground, the graves consisting ol two huge piles of water-washed stones, the Shawnees under one heap and the Catawbas under the other. I have spenthours, when a boy, removing the rocks irom the centre ol , one ot these heaps of stone, and been rewarded for my labor by finding a few arrow heads, or perhaus a stone tomahawk.

During the past few weeks I had a scrofulous swelling as large as my fist gather on another part of my body. I took Vegetine faithfully, and it removed it level with the surface in a month. I think I should have been cured of my main trouble sooner if I h;.d tak en larger doses, after having become accustomed to its effects.
