Finally, it turned about and limped back to the stone again; and Markhead nowT perceived that the grizzly had his beaver trap hard and fast ou one of his fore paws. ;, . The bear was much , annoyed by the trap..v tsat Mownon the stone again, arid from .where, he lay, Markhcad could see Kim examining it 'attentively, holding it' close - up to his nose and gravely turning his paw over and over. Then i would tip its head to one sideband: look at the trap from out the comers of its eyes, in a most comical manner, as if at an entire , loss to make but what the novel and, painful appen dage coidd be that had got such fast hold on his toes. Anon, the puzzled animal would try. to step on its foot; but instant ly tookjt up from the ' stone again, with a low whimper, and would then- commence licking the trap, as if wishing to appease its anger and coax it into letting go its grip. This pantomime so interested the trapper that he eonid, scarcely take aim with his rifle, lint not wishing to lose his good steel trap, he was on the point of shooting the bear, when he Vas startled from it by the neigh of a horse.' Glancing out over the tops oft lie bushes, he saw, some four or live hundred yards down the opposite utes they would be on his track, he slid down from his perch on the bluff and ran back to the -creek, to the point where he.had-iJeft it in pursuit of the bear. ... -? Here he resumed his way up the creek, taking care to leave a plain ly marked trail ' through the Avet grass, with 'here and there a foot print in the in ud or sand, just as if life Were leisuriy proceeding along the bank, looking to his traps. 4 But he ran on fastv and never slackened his pace till he had cov ered a distance of at least ten miles froni the iIaee Where he had seen the Black feet cross the creek. His surmise was that the savages, oh discovering his t rail, would pursue him, bnt Nvould expect ti rtne- iij- m. him at every trap, tindf-hence would follow on stealthily'hnd at no great speed. Having thus planned out a ten mile chase for them, Markhead ran back across the . narrow .meadow, and climbing the bluffs, made a de tour fox his camp again, keeping a mile'or over from the creek, back among the sand-hills and cliffs. Being a fleet and practised, run- ner, .he was not more than, aft' hour aiul ualt making tae-iripuacK to tlie vicinity of his camp, among the cottonwopdSj the tall tops of which hetjould see-at a great distance. After taking breath a few - min utes, and looking to his rifle, Mark head crept out among the boulders on the crag overlooking the camp ing-place: tori he exiected the In dians would leave one pf their num ber to watch theJiorses.' That one he was prepared to deal with From the crag he soon saw the six ponies down among" the timber. Tlie'wereJutchedvUp.iear..Iiis own horse, or was "lie wrong" in his conjecture about the savages leav ing one ot thertr number wit h the horses; tThe packs had been taken off the ponies7 , bjicks; and "Hfter looking a, few moments, he espied an, Indian: sitting m the shade of a bushroh a lieap of J buffalo skins Watching, the Indian a little, Markhead -crept down, noiseless as J a fox, to a large cotton wood, rath- the liorses, ana : then, i his piece; against :the tree-trunjnfwas just about to shoot the unwaiy senti nel;vhen the In dian' tnrned partially, 's- and to his great surprise he saw that it was not :a BlackfiK)L wanior, but a plump itnd veiy comely squaw. . i bank of the :. creek, Indians, sitting on to do. for he- would not " shoot the stnaw At lengthifegavea sliout and rushed . towards her. The squaw bounded ' from her seat, and seeing' the trapper close uH)n her, "yelled like a pig," as Markhead said, and started to run away. But she had not' got many yards before Markhead ' seized her by her long hair; at which the poor woman, th inking, no doubt, that her last hour had come, crouched ou the ground, -."and begged piteous ly.in choicest Blackfoot, for the white to spare her. Markhead led her back to the po nies, and drawing his knife, inti mated to her by most emphatic dumb show that her top-knot would assuredly come off if she made the least attempt 'to escape. With that, the squaw protested, with every gesture she could de vise, that she would ( never try to get away; she would be like a little dog, and run at his heels; she would be like the pony's tail, al ways at his back, and inseparable from him. Finding that her life was in no immediate danger, the. squaw rap idly recovered from her fright, and hv-answer to signs, gave her captor to understand that the live savages had gone on his trail up the creek, just as he had surmised they would, and had been so confident that they would lind him, that they had left only this squaw tosit by the po nies. Markhead thought ver the dis tance, and concluding he had a lull two-hours' start of them, resolved to take it easy, lie made the squaw unpack some cold venison which thev had in one of their "jt " rrr? t " i - head eing ioiiited out to him at the posflie said,r"ile big warrior.

Gve of Carolina by the Lords -Ppil M$ovmce, in 1709. In the .jsam'e-yTPar : about 50 Germans from the Palatinate ,of '.-me Rhine emit grated to-Caroliua under his auspices; He was acconvpanied-by hi& son Chris topher, Captain Levis Michel (our Mit chells descended,, from him) , of Berne, andi et number of Swiss. . In 1710 he founded the town of Newbern. The Indian name of fther point pf land on which is 'now Newbern was Cliattoka. De Graffenreid was a remarkably hand some man', and gossip says Queen Anne was so much attached -to her visitor that her ministers sentr him off to America and gave him; thousands of acres to get clear of him Be that as it may, when the Indians jiuissacred Lawson, near Streets Ferry, ten miles above Newbern, they also designed killing Pe Graff en- .ried, who was. with him. but after he wa stripped, they were deterred, by a gold medal they found on his neck, and by his remarkably white skin and grand figure. ; They . ; thought ? he was a great Tibief of - some kind, and it was bad luck to kill a ruler.. ; That medal is still in the possession of some of the De Graff enrieds in the State of ; Georgia. The old Baron, however, Jsoon became involved here in debt, sold his lands . to ; the Pollocks, and returned : to Switzer land Many of the Palatines remained, and their descendents are " among our most respected citizens. i r i; Now we must hurry on. A few steps east from the gun bring us opposite to the foundation as you see of the first church of any kind ejected in the town of Newbeyji- The-stOQedglab before us, ust above the ground, was in the cen tre of the aisle of .the? church, and cov ers the graves of: some of its earliest members.. Of course it was the Estab lished Chuih of England, and the peo ple were taxed to build it.

E-FoyT Esq., new house, and the lot recently sold tor, the new, opurt house, was taken from the Church by act of the Legislature, and it was with much difficulty John Stanly afterwards prevented a similar confis cation of part of the churchyard On Mid dle street.

Jl is not strange 1 hat otrrliiiiiter thought no more tf t lm luiarV and that, his urgrriine.Ht.was cut short by tliis by-no-means laugha-ble aspect of affairs. .' But Markhead was a quick-witted fellow, not easily alarmed, and while'" lie lay there watching the Black feet as they stealthily ap proached the place where his horse kvas picketed, he hit ou a ruse for outwit! mg them at their own tac tics. Feeling sure that in a few niiii- t party, of six j sacks; and the two st range com- lunclfed very convivially Markhead lim a good apjetite. Assisted by the squaw, he next packed up all the Indians' peltries and lashed them on the backs of the ponies, making uj a sort of pony train, at the head of which he placed the squaw. Then collecting his own property, he mounted his own horse and set off, driving the whole train in fiontof him master of the situation. leaving, in fact, nothing of any value behind. Once out on the plains, clear of the crags and timher, Markhead drove his singular cavalcade on at a great pace, and traveling all the rest of the day and all that night with bill brief halts, reached a ( lading post Laramie Fort, prob ably towards the end of the next djay. The leelings of the outwitted lllackfeet on their return to the ,lacc where they had left their ponies, alter their unsuccessful chase after Markhead, may perhaps better be left to the fancy of the reader.

"In 18W it Was closed by order of the town authorities in consequence of the yellow fever; being ..brought herein a vessel. At that time it did not cross Broad street, though there was a case and death',- Mr. Butler, grandfather of Miss liucliel Brook field of our city, He died on the corner . where now resides Mr. Bahgert. But in 1794, and in the late war, r: it spread . throughout the town! Our present cemetery was purchased by the Episcopal Church in 1800 for the reasons before given, and burying then commenced there. In 1S54 it was trans ferred to the town by the vestry of Christ Church, when it: was enclosed with the shell rock wall. To return to the. old church. Pre vious to and during the Revolutionary War an aristocratic lady, Madam Moore, had a "double pew" in it, and in that pew, at different times, sat George Washington, Gen. Nathaniel Greene, James. Monroe, John ,C Calhoun, and many of the most eminent citizens of North 5 Carolina. This old church was brick; unfortunately it was pulled down after the erection of a larger one. Tlie first minister was James Reed, who had a commission signed by Gov.Tryon and Lord Howe. In tlie war this truly ex .Ciellentpand pious old minister would pray for the King, when the boys in the congregation, put up to it by their fathers, would heat the drum at the church door and cry "off withjiishead." This would be repeated ecery Sunday, the "minister with unwavering fidelity clinging to his royal master. The brick mound midway the church grounds on Middle street, and near the fence, is the grave of "Parson" lieed. He was by all called Parson lieed. and with all his persistent advocacy of the cause of King George he had the confi dence Of our people. They entertained for him much respect and affection up U the day of his death. A few steps more and we are near the grave of "an honest lawyer indeed;" It is m written on the gravestone in sight which covers the dust of George Elliott, Attorney General of tlie Prov ince. He died in Newbern a century pgo. Passing on, the slab we see now, level with the close cut grass, is over the re mains of a patriot of whom it can be truthfully said we had no greater in tlie Revolutionary War in proportion to his means and ability. His means too were large, and his talent conspicuous as a merchant. It is the gave of John Wright Stanly. Though not a lawyer he was the lirst Judge of the Court of Admiralty in North Carolina. Of him we shall have much to say hereafter. The hickory we are now passing, j standing on the south-east corner of the churchyard, with I toughs overhanging the sidewalk and shading a pump on the street, is older than the town, and no doubt can look down on several centuries. Near the trunk of this treej for about seventy years was a pine, board at the grave of a Catholic priest ' When it w;is removed ten or twelve; years ago, to give place to the marble cross now neiuiy covered by the ever green hedge, there was not the slightest! indications of decay, while deep grooves j were worn in tin wKtd by the long, years of rain drops. The little house under the shadow of this hickory, now the law office of Washington Bryan, . Esq., was tlie home of Moses Griffin, who lived a miserly life and kdltl him-1 each Superior self eating shad when very low iffprice. j county towns death, unlike many others ; to-wit: Mrs., Capt. Green is on the lot. The writer of this had seen some of the old type found there. . John Stanly carried his bride to a little -house on'- the -'same lot,' tlie foundation of it could still there be found; the Stanly mansion then not having1 been 1 fiuished, though , com1 menced before the RevelutionaryWar. .We will say more of this house in con nection with John Wright Stanly, the father of John -'Stanly.- Just before Davis started his printing press, ' the elder Gov.. Spaight was. bornon the Northwest corner of the same square, Where is now" the residence of Mr. Hol "ton. The house in which: paight first looked upon the,'world was pulled down since 1850. -" This square was one of the first built upon in Newbern. Let us go to, the next corner, Neuse (New) street. The residence just south of it was for years the home of Mrs. Hunt, the mother of George Pollock and his sister; Mrs. John Devereaux.who was the grandmother of Mrs. "Judge Clarke, George Pollock being he"r great uncle. It is the residence now of Henry Jt. Bryan. Esq., who has - recently had it modernized . It was for some years also the home ;:f John . Burgwin and then Chester was inspired by the scenes there to write some of his sweetest poetry. Looking west of course leaves the Neuse at our back. On the right on the corner with the width of only a narrow street from us is the residence of Mrs. Judge Manlj-, -of which we have heretofore spoken as the Emery house, whan President Monroe and Mr. Calhoun were enteTtahied during their visit to New bern by our Citizens. This house is on a lot the shape of a, triangle. Near the point where short street runs into New street, was Bryan's tavern, the first tav ern ever opened in the town. It was on a creek that extended to the lot of the writer of this, where, digging a well a few years ttgoa plank wharf was found down in the earth, with cypress shingles in a sound condition under it, which evidently had fallen from the wharf In the water and thus been so long pre served. The Bryau tavern was a great place of resort in it day. Disputes were eitheettlel there or- arrange ments made to settle them on the field. Balls, too, were constantly given there, and many grand dinners did our fathers enjoy in it for years when'rum punch would flosv as free as water and he that vould not drink to the bottom was con sidered no man at all- A bowl of this reddening nose beverage was in those days, some times carried with funeral processions, and the -corpse being born by hand, when the bearers would step to change hands, tlie bowl of punch would be brought up and they would regale themselves from it ; and were not men as honest and less treacherous then than they are now ? Was not the stan dard, of honor higher then than in this day in all professions and occupations V 1 am inclined to the beliel as we add inventions and improve iu some Of the works of our fathers we improve in pro portion in rascality. Some of the old hotel can be remembered by some ier soiisnow living in Newbern.
