The Lost sister?Influence of christian j civilization upon the social affections. The following interesting narrative was conimuuic itcd t? the Philadelphia North | American. Valley of Wyoming ? After the bat le and iiias>acie. described in my las', most of ihe sut lers fled. B r here udcI there a straggler returned from the mountain of wilderness, and in the course of three or four months, cabins were g ?ing tip over the ashes of their former homes, on j quite a litile neighborhood w.is collecte<i. 13 it the Indians kept prowling nrornd 0.1 the mountains, now descending here hik! now there, kil'iug this famly, scalping Ilia or making it captive. At a little distance from the prose;]* Couri.house at Wilksburre 1.ved a funny hy the name of S' locum, upon whom the visitations of the I.Hi us' cruelties wi re tia fully severe. The men were one day away in ihe fields, an I in an J i'eeu i* the house was surrom led hy In-j dmns. There was in it, t'?? mother, h daughter about nine years of ago, a son j ??ed thirteen, ^mother daughter aged five,1 a 11 a li lie boy aged two an 1 a half. A voting rn.m, and a boy hy the name of 1 Kingaley wore prrsen'grinding a knife.? ' ,M .. r- i. 1. i a tic lir.si i:un? m?<; iiiunns ni'j was ?ir?v. down the young man and scalp Irm with t:.e knife w c!i ho i.a i in his hand. Tue nine year o! 1 s's'er took the little hoy two vnura and a ii di'oM, nn i ran on! ol :1m bank | door to g'-i tw iliy fort. Tim Indians chased j her just enough :o sac It- r bight, a.id liav- j ing a hearty 1 ?tigh as she ran and clung u? i and lif.ed n.*r chuhhy 1 I'd-' brother. Tli > ' then took tbo Kingslev hoy an I you ?g Sclucmn. aged diirteeu, and ii:*i Fran *e> ago I live, and prepared to depart. B it. finding yining' .Sclociun i mic, at die earn- s; ' en realies tit :he nm her, they set html down nt.d ! 'ft him. Their captives were j then young Ivng.sley and the li tie g r!.? ; The mother's !?< r,r: swelled utlu'terahly an I for years she could not describe die i *.rme wi.hoai tears. She saw an iudi:;| throw her child over his shoulder, and as J lu r hair f? 1: over !mr with one iinud j site brushed it osiJ", \vh le the tears fed! 1 horn her d sicnacJ eye, and stretching out her oher hmJ towards her mother, stir ! called fwr !mr a J. The 1 idian turned into the bushes, and ?h s was the last s -cn of iuile Francos. The image, probably, was carried by the rno'lmr to the grave.? About a month after th s tlmy cartn* again, and with the most awful cru'dti-rs, murdered j the a^ed grandfather; and shot a L.li j in the leg of the lame boy. This he car-1 ri'-d in le* leg nearly sixty years, to the j grave, Trie last child was bom a fc.v j mouths alter th-se tragedies. W at were ] I t no con versa -ion -, wmit were the hopes n d j the fears respecting ihe fate of little Fran- j ces, I will not attempt to describe. Probably I the children saw that all after life, the Im-art | of the s!ricken mother was mar:, eg for I'm j I.[tie one whose f.ite was sj uncertain, and 1 whose faou ? e could never see again. As the boys grew up and became nrn, ] tiey were very n::X ous to know liv* li t* J t th 'ir l.ttle fair-lm red s su r. i ii?*y wrote letters, they s'-:>f inquires, thy m^d* journeys through ail the we?' and in the Canadns, it p?rudven'ure they rngh: b arn uuy thing respecting her fate. Four of. these long journeys w< r- inad in vain. A i silence deep as the deepest forest through j wh'ch they wandered, hung over her lua-, j and that sixty ye?rs. My reader will now pass over 5S y-'urs i'roai the time of this captivity, and suppose ( himself far in the wilderness, in .he fur h- r- i ?*st part of Ind'ana. A very respectable egent of the Um!cd States is invoking; there,ard weary and belated, wi ,'j a ;ire<i horse, he stops at an Indian \V<;;wam lor the night. lie can speak the Indian language. The fam lv are rich for Indians, have horses^anu skins in abundance. In the course of the evening, bo noices that the hair of the woman is light, and her skin, under her dress, is aUo white. Tins j U'd to a conversation. She to d nun she , was a white child, but had been carried j a way when a very small girl. She could only remember that h -r name was Sclocum, that she lived in a li tic house j on the banks of the Susquehanna, and how j many there were in her lather's family, an J j the order of their ages ! Bu' the name of, the town she could not remember. On j reaching his homo, the agent mentioned j the story to his mo h<^r. She urg*d him i to write and pr:nt the account. Accord.nit- J Jy he wro e i\ and sent it to Lancasti r of tin's St?.t?\ requesting that it m got be publish'd. I*y Kf.n e, to mo, umtrrnnniuhle t>!und< r, it lay in tit ? office lu>a years before it was printed. I5ut list summer it was published. In a few days it fell into tin* hands of Mr. S. locum, of Wdk'-sbarrr, ^ who w as the little two and a half year old boy, when Frances was tak? n. In a few days he was otT to seek Ins s'st r, taking with him his oldest sister, (die one who aided him toescnp-.) ?nrl ivri ing to a bro'hrr who now lives i i Ohio, ?ud who I be. lieve was horn after the ci.ptm y, to meet him and go with him. The two brothers and sister are now (1938,) on their way to set k little Frat.c '? just 9'xty yrars after her cap iv ly. Af.?*r travelling more than 300 rn les f ro ig i the wilderness ilu-y reached he IimJi m ctouu'rv the home of the Miami Indian. Nine in-le* from the nearest whim, th*-y find the little wigwam. 4tI shall know my sister," said the civilized sister, "because she lost ti?<' nail of her firs'fing r. You brother hamtred it ofTin the blacksmith shop when she was four year old." i hey go into the c.bm and find an Indian woman having the appearance of seventy-five. She is p-iintc 1 end jewelled off, and dressed like an Indian in all respects. Nothing but her li.rir and covered skin could indicate li'*r origin.? Taey gf,t an interpreter and begin to converse. She telle them '.There she was horn, her name, &c., with the order of her fttb? er's family. "How came your nail gone?" said tho oldest sister. "My older brother pounded it off when I was a little child in the shop !" In n word, they were satisfied this was Frances, their long lost Gts'cr' Thoy asked iicr what her Christian name i wjis !

There was I | no throbbing no fine cords in her bosom to t j bo touched. I | VV net) Mr. Seloeum was giving mc this < j his ory, 1 sa d to him?"But could she not I speak English ?"

No one of 'he fain ly j 1 can speak a word ol English. They have ' h >r>es in abundance, and when the Indian d m:sI r warned to accompany her new rela- 1 eves, she whipped out and bridled her horse, ( and ihnti, a la Turk, mounted as'ri lc and ; was olF.
