The pioneer who dwells in the vicinity of

I r.ern savage aivHized men, learns to
bate the Indian because ho hears him spoken
tf always as an enemy. Haying, listened
from his cradle to tales of savage violence,
i end perused wiihirltcresl the narrativeof ab
v original cunning and ferocity, and numbering
tzi among the victims of. some midnight
massacre, his nearest andcenrest relations,
it fj not to be wondered atf it 1)6 should fear

cd, therefore, to venture b.i!d!y. forward, and,
if discovered, to! secure his own safety by th'
rapidity of his flight. On leaving a small
thickft,- in' which j he had ao'Jght rerugejie
discovered a tall portly savage near by, and
two others in a direction between hlrnand the
irt. He paused fur a momed, and thought
if he could separate and fight them1 single his
i 1 - I 1 ' '
case was not so desperate. j ' i
j He started,' therefore, for a fit tie run of
vyater hard by, tut found one of his limU
.failing him, it having been struck by a bail in
the first encounter, of which, till now, he was
scf reef v conscious . ' i !'- '
! The I irgstlodian pressed close upon him,
and Higgins turned round two of three times
ia order lo fire. ; The Indian halted and dan-
lb ed about to prevent hU taking aim. Hig.
gins saw it was unsafe to fire at random, nnd
perceiving two others approaching,: knuw he
must be overpowered in a moment, unless he
could-dispose brihc forward Indian first. Hr
iresolved therefore, to h ilt and receive bU fire.
The Indian raised his rifl?, and ;Hi5Kin),
watching his eye, turned suddenly as his firi
jr pressed tho trigger, and received the ball
sni his ihigh, which otherwise would have
pierced his body, Higgins fell, but rose iml.
mediately, and run. The furemost Indian,
certain of his preyr now loaded again, und
with the other two, pressed on. : They over
took him. Higgins fell again, and as he rose
the whole' three fired, and he received all
tljeir balls. , He now fell and rose again, and
the Indians, throwing away their guns, adr
vanced upon him with spears and knives. As
h presented his gun at one or the other, eaclj
fell back.;;v;r''-;"';:;.?;::,::vj;v"
'! At last, the largest Indian, supposing Hig-i
gin's gun to be empty from his fire having
hicn thusr: reserved, advanced buidly to the
charge. Higgins fired, and the savage ftll.
jlle had now four bullets in hi 3 body an
empty gun in his hand two Indians unh:irm.
cd as yet, befure him und a whole triho a
fev yardi distant. Any other man but ilig.
would h ive despaired. Napoleon would
l.uo acknowLJ,;ed himself defeated ; Wei-,
lington, with all !iii obstinacy, would have
considered the case as doubtful and Charles
of' Sweden have regarded it as br.a of peril.
Npt so vvilh Higgins He had no notion of
surrendering ytt. He had sl tin the rrost d.in
gerpusof the three ; and having little; to fear
from the others, he began to load his . riH3.
They raised a savage wHoop," and rushed to
the encounter ; but kept a respectful distance
when Higgins' riflj ,was loaded,; but when
they knew it was empty they v.crj Letter
soldier's."
A bloody conflict now cnsur-J Ti.: In-
diana stubbed him in.sevL'ral places.. Their
spears, however, were but thin poles, h iitily
prepared for the occasion, and bent whenever
they struck a rib or a muscle. The '.our.
they made were not, therefore, deep, though
numerous, as his scars sufficiently tiif. d.
At last one of. them threw hi tomahawk.
Il Struck him upon the cheek, passed through
his car, which it s " . red, and laid bire his
hesiif, and stretchv- J him '.upon the ground.
The Indians again rushed on, but Higgins. re.
covering his self-possession, kept I i!jlmt off
withj his feet nnd hands; gra.sp;ng !at length
takjhg his rifle, smote the nearest savage and
dasbed out his brains. . In doing so, . howev
er, the rifle broke, (the barrel only remaining
in hVs hand.' ':xHi ": ;: llh'.' .-.
The other Indian, who had hitherto fought
with! caution, came how manfullv inlo the

one woman ; that woman was of herself a
hojtf a ?.Irs. Parsley.
When she saw Higgins contending single
handed with a whole tribe of Indians, the
urged ihe rangers to attempt his rescue. The
rangers objected, as the Indians were ten lo
neJ Mrs. Purstly then snatrhed a rifle from
her husbands hand, and declaring that so fine
a fellow as Tom Higgins should, not be loct
fof want of help,', mounted a horse, and sal.
lied forth to his rescue. Th men, unwilling
to be outdone, by a woman, followed at full
gallop reached the pot where Higgins faint
ed and fell, before the Indians came up; and
when the savage with whom he had been en.
giged was looking for bis rifle, his friends
lifted the wounded ranger up, and throwing
him across a horse before one cf the party, j
reached the fjrt in safety. i A I
Higgins was insensible for several days,
and bis life was only preserved by continual
caic. His friends extracted two of the balls
11.
from his thigh';, two, however, yet remained,
one of which gave him a great deal of pain.
Hearing afterwards that a physician had set.
tied within a day s ride of him, he determined
to go nnd see him. The physician (whose
name is spared) aked him 830 for the opera
tion. This, Higgins flatly refused, saying it
was more than a half , year's pension.
On reaching home he found the exercise
of riJirjhad made the ball diacernibis ; ho
rrquestrd his wife to hand him his razor.
With l.r.r Llstance he deliberately laid open
his thigh, untij the edge of the razor touched
the bullet ;' then inserting his thumb into the
gash f he flirted it out," as he used-to say,
" without .costing him a cent.". The other
ball yet remained ; it gave him but little pain,
however, and he carried it with him to his
Crave. I j
Higgins died in Fayette countyj Illinois, a
fjw years icce. He. was the most perfect
specimen of a frontier man in his day, and
was cr.ee door keeper of the House , cf Re-
prcscr.iatives in Illinois. . .,
Tho above ccccurt is taken principally
from anewfpircr. Its author is unknown.
The fact?, however, are familiar to many,
and there is no doubt of their correctness.

far as we have learned, the members and

were much encouraged, and took leave of

When ia ths course of h 'err. a a events it be

of landlord and boarder, a decent rerpect far
the pinion,-of mankind' requires that t!.?y
shou!J declare the causes which Lava irr.-ailed
them to the separationr
We hold these truths to b self evident : all
men arc created withitiouths and stomachs,
and '.hey are endowed by their Creator with
certain inalienable rights, tmocg which are,
that no man should be compelled to starve,
out cf mere complianca ta a hnJierd, tnd
that every man has a right. to fill bis stomach
and wet his whistle with the best that's going.
The history of the present landlord of the
White Lion is a history' of repeated insults,
exactions, and injuries, all having in direct
object the establishment of absolute tyranny
over our stomachs and throats. To prove
this, let facts be submitted to a candid' world :
He has refused to keep anything to drink
but bald-faced whiskey
He has refused to set cpon his table for
dinner any thing but turnip soup, with a little
tough beef and sour crout, which are not
wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has refused to let his only servant, blink.
eyed Joe, put more than six grains of cofTee
to one gallon of water.
He ha.s turned Iooea a multitude cf mus-
quitoes to assail us in the peaceful hours of
the: t. ar.d cat our substance.
lie l.a3 kept vp, incur bed.3 and'bedstsads,
standing armies cf merciless savancs. whose
rule cf warfare is undistinguished destruction.
He ( has excited domestic insurrection
among us, by taking bitters before breakfast,
and making his wife and servant do the same
before dinner, whereby there is often the very
deuce to pay. l ,
He has waged cruel war: against r.at-ra
herself, by fading our horses with brocm
straw, and carrying them c J to drink where
