FIIE LEGEND OF THE HAUNTED ROCK. Owl Creek Cabin, May IS, 1847. I'll tell you a xtoiy of these ma hills, and this liver, that may be woith listeuiug to. It a legend I hemd from an old Ittdian, long ago, w ho bus since gone to the distant hunt grounds of his fathers. I like b proaerve these tales of the pus', which may or may not have their fouudiitioiin in fact, foi they must in time be the material for our nutional poetiy, when our nation fiuds timen write or read poetry. You must lei me tell the story in my own uay. About a milo nlmve here, on the opposite side of the river, is a p-ecipice, two hundred feet hi-jh, over-hauitij' the stream. The ascent finm the land tide is gradutil and rompaiatively easy, bul 1'ioui the liver there is 110 reac hing it. About foity feet from the top it a ledge of l he rock, or a shelf, some six feel wide, 011 which grow a few cedar bushe, rendiii" their roots into the thin soil which has collected fiotn"decayiiifileaven, nnd cling ing with woiideiful tenacity to the lock. Ttiu.- much by way ol premise, nud now to my story. The gem of her tiibe, and the faite-t child of the forest that ever the good spirit gave to the ied man to tend his lodge and smile ou him, wus (I am not suie of the Indian name, it is so long "iiice 1 heard it) Lta wanna, "The duw 11 of day," and there was but one opiniou of that matter iu all the red nation flhe iN'oith. Her fume had gone out among them, and many a wnitior brought her scalps and ben is' claws as delicate expression of his regttrd. Hut as far as my expedience g'-es, there never vus a beauty that was not Spoken for' long before the wot Id knew hei beauty, and so it was with Lota JSyosuk had by some men ns won the heart of the mai den, and she had in. o jtnauy woids prjinUed to be M s Syosuk. ' 5 But, as in mote modem and civilized afHaiiHug, tbe consent of some one ele was necesaiy, and they weut mot dutifully to contuli Papa." Tbe manner iu which such matters ate uow-a-days conduct ed, was no guide then, I imagiue. I can see the trembling hesitating air-of my friend J , when ho asked Mr M if he would trust hi princes tlllen to other hands than his own. How he stammered and paiied, and finally hulled ou; his question iu ju-t the way he did'nt mean to, mid then wailed (as a boy waits fur a thrashing) to hear the reply. I did such a thing once ni) sell and have a right to know about it. Not so with Syosuk. He eu'ers the old man' lodge, and with maiddeuly modesty tho fair Lota retires. He sits down and smokes iu in cold calm silence. At length he pushes the blanket from his shoulder, and leauing forward, with bis finger ou a bread ca, speaks : The Mohawk's batches! stuck deep in Syosuk's shoulder, heu be was 00 the U war track-5" Syosuk is brave." He has slain these enemies.''' And be threw a u picious bundle of bair locks attach ed to parchment looking appendages, which tbe old man knew as 00 many scalpa from 1U0 heads of the enemies aforesaid. ' He a lodge, and it has no keeper. Syosuk wauls L'4a " This was comiog to the point, and the old fellow without a moment's hesitation replies: " When tbe scalp locks are twice as many, Lota will be in the lodge ot Syouk. ' There was of course uo appeal from this PROTERTT Or ITS CITIZENS.

N hile be is absent times change op tbe river bauk. Tbe Chief of the Mohawks cornea from his distaut lodge and demands Lota. He U refused, and iustantly begius au exter minating war. She in her maiden beauty is regarded as the I udian seldom regarded woman, as somethiug holy, and they said she had communion with tbe uugeeu world, ft was not strange that such surpassing love liness should seem a thing of heaven. It was the night of tho first spring moon. That memo weut duwu a' little later than the sun, and as the night wore away towatd it uooii the red man slept. Suddenly Lola rushed lo her father and awoke him, aud with clear voice ciicd for tho tribe to come to the council lodge. Tbey gathered in haste,"aud with torches glut iug oil their fierce faces, the scene rnuat have been wild indeed. Lota stood iu the centre of 1 he circle of wan ior chiefs none else wus in the lodge. " I have seen Manitou I' Thy slatted us if an angel epokc. "The Mo hawks art here. They will be iu our lodges ere the morning dawn. The good Spirit bade me waru you to watch for their com ing." So they armed themselves; and when the Mohawks cume, although outnumbering them two to one, they met a fiercer resistance 1 ha 11 ever foe gave feo. It was a fearful night. In the deep darkness men grappled with men, and the hot blood gurgled out of its natural chauuels, aud covered tho slippery ground. .Long and fierce, was the fight. Hand to baud in that iuhuinan butchery they stuod, and when tho daylight duwned, there wore but six left to battle with but eight. And these lay awhile ou the ground and gathered strength, and then sp-ang like wild cats at each oiheis throats, nud with breast to breas', fell in tho embrace of death, atl but two Mthiwkg. These w ci e lefl to look on inu field of slaughter, and when they looked u rou ud they saw no sign of life, bul only red tich blood. They entered the lodge of old Kiuuyutik, aud found the chief stretched dead, his head lay iu the lap of Lola. Seizing the girl, who was stupefied wifh grief, the Mohawk chief (it was he) took her aud the scalp of her father, and went swiftly to the Northward. Syosuk and one com panion returned an hour after ho had lefl, nnd followed ou his trail. They overtook him near the precipice 1 have spoken of. T'hey were two to two; bul the Mohawks had IVita with them, and retreated toward tho brow of the hill, hoping to secure n safe posi tion from their pursuer?, whom they had eei far in the rear. Hero they met, and Lota lay feueles? on a rook while they fought u fiercer tight than any of tho night before. The two who were Dot chiefs fell first. Then, hand to h:iid, the other two stood nud struck blows ut one another till their nuns were weary. Syosuk drove the other back till they stood ni ros the body ofl jota. Then he made a firm taud, and three hour I hey made manful bnllli , and she moved not. Theu wilh fier cer strokes than before, Syosuk pressed the Mohawk toward the piecipice, step by top b u-kwaid and backward, till a blow st nick his hatchet from his baud; and the next would have cloven him to the gtouod, but he spiaug back wilh a long bound, and his feet touching tho edge of the rock, ho made one gra-p at nothingness, uud fell backward over the precipice! Syosuk turned tu Lota. She was dead. For the fiist lime his voice was heard, aud it rang in tho forest as the fcieain of a wounded eagle. He took her iu his arms, aud chafed her forehead aud her hands k ud called her name. But she spoke not nor moved, nor ooked as he bad looked in days gone by iulo hi face; and when tho sun had set, he sat silently holding her in his arms and chanting the solemn death song. In tho fioiiiing ihey were gone, and the ludiant? believe that Manitou took (hern together try the hum iug gmunds ofjhe blessed. Iu thai -bright dream land of the Red man, Lota sits all day iu the door of her lodge, looking for the comiog f Syosuk nt ihe sunesl. bhe r fa iter there than nil earthly dreams of heauly,- aud her eye is iuteusely bright with trie love light of the ?piiit home. The shade u.htt Mohawk hut out from thoe broad fields wanders reilely on eaiih, aud especially haunts the rock of bis last struggle. He may be seen at times, in a starry tiights. sitting ou the ledge of the rock, with bis bead bowed down on his knees, nnd tbe wail of bis God forsaken spirit is like tbe wail of Lucifer' falling from his throne. I cau't say that I ever beard it. W A most singular looking fish was caught' yesterday at one of our wharves. It was nearly rive feet in length and two aud a half feet broad. The mouth one foot from corner to corner, with two rows of small sharpteelb. Uuder the belly were 1 wo claws shaped some-" thing like the' human hand. On tbe back part of Ihe bead were several horns. None of the large number of persons wh sav it knew of what species or by what name it was called a od but two or three persons ever be fore saw a fish of tbe kind. Whatever may bo its name it is tbe ugliest looking customer ever saw, aud should we come in contact with such a monster while iu tho act of bath ing, we should paddle for tbe shore as quick as possible. It could swallow a good sized boy without much incouvneieuce. Bristol (R. .) Phenix.
