Escape from Sarages A HEM AKKA 1H.K K AJUIATIVE. M^William Bnily, formerly ofLynnville, Ogle county, in this State, called upon its and related the following thrilling and remarkable narrative. From his description of the places and things he saw, we aie perfectly satisfied that his statement is correct in every respect. A gentleman of this city, who has traveled over the country he describes, assured us that no person who had not visited these places, and witnessed what he describes, could ever have related what lie related. He conversed in several Indian languages, and appears to have paid closo attention '.o what be saw passing around |ijin during his sojourn among the savages, lie looked well and hearty, and with the exs>Antinn of Ills hands heinnr lorn l>v a/.nm 1-? ? " ""B "J "v,"v wounUH from h tomahawk^ ho seems toliave r 11 tie red no damage, l/o left on tbe cars Jast evening for Logan county, whero his mother resides : Mr- Daily left here Rome eighteen monlliB Ago with a party of nine persons to engage iu driving teams from the gulf of Mexico to the Hio Grande. They landed at Indianola and hired to a man by the name of Ross to drive teams for bim. They drove to Neuu? river, and encamped there. Whilst asleep their mules were stolen by the Indians. They prepared the next day to folJcs,w tbeui. and came up with them at sunML They saw six Indians, fired at and hill ed them all, when they were attacked by about three hundred who were secreted in the woods, and who immediately fired on the waite men, killed all hut Mr. Iiaily, whom they took prisoner. They then took biin back to the wagons, which they plundered of the arms and ammunition in them. They took two boxes of government Colt's revolvers and twenty kegs of powder. The prisoner was stripped of all bis clothing, and they bound him hand and foot upon a pony. Tbey then stariod for thoir encampment the Wilchataw mountains, which place they reached after eleven days' hard riding. They remained in camp About a week, nod then started op a robbing expedition to iiiuiuK h irain on tuo Santa re road. They , remained abont five days waiting when a merchant train cam?'along. They proceeded to surprise tho train, and killed every person with it, look the goods and mules belonging to the train, and started for the Kickapoo settlement, traded olf tho mulei for ponies, and returned to the Witchalaw mountains. The piiaoner was kept strictly confined during the day, and was lied up every night with pieces of raw hide, by tho hands to a limb of a tree, as high up as ho could reach > and stand on the ground. T'uring the day be was allowed to lie down and sleep a few i hours. During the lime that iMr. Bailv was ! with them thev wont ou five robbing expe t tlilions, taking liim always along with them, r The last merchant traiu they robbed they " took two men prisoners who had bravely defended themselves till their weapons were all discharged, and who had killod twelve ot the red skins. Thesq two were then taken ami tied to a stake and skinned alive, Mr. Daily was placed close to them and compelled to witness this horrible scene, i Every time he would close his eves, they would punch him with spears and bayonctf until he would open them, and look on this picture of revolting horror. Tliey then took the skin recking with warm hlood, and slap : ped him aronr.d the face with it, covering him with hlood, and telling him if he trice to escape this should be bis fate. One of their excursions was against th< United Slates mail wagons. They killei , 1 the five men with them, tore open the let ters, got out the money, and after cutting out the pictures from the bank hills, threw thorn away. They kept all the newspapers that had any pictures in them?throwing everything away that was not embellished. For three nights after this they did not tie.him up, but kept guard over him. The ! third night they had a big war dance, and | in the excitement they forgot Mr. liaiiy, 1 While dancing around their lire in fiont ol I their tent, lie crawled out under the back 11 I the tent, seized one of the pontes and escaped. lie was soon missed, and followed foi live days. At the expiration of that time they caino so close on him that they lircd ut him. which obliged him to leave his horse, and take to the mountains. Fortunately, he i found a small cavo, just large enough t?i crawl into, in which place he remained foi a day and a half, the Indians being so neai that he conhi hear their footmen* tt?o? searched for him. lie remained in this position until lie was assured his pursuers had loft, when he emerged froiu his concealment and inado n straight shoot for Kicknpoo settlement, about COO miles distant. In about a mouth he reached the longed for point, where he. hoped to iind friends and assistants. Nor was he disappointed in this, lie was kind ly furnished food and clothing by the Kickapoos. lie had subsisted, for the whole month previous to this, on birch roots, which he had dug with bis hands, on his lonely march. While with the Camnnches he was fed on raw horse flesh. Not a very pleas ant diet, truly. The Kickapoos treated bin very kindly, and showed Rim on his long journey to civilization. After leaving them, four days' journey brought him to the Chickasaw*' camp, from whence he proceeded to the Choctaw nation, who treated hiiu in the kindest manner. Ho journeyed on to the Shawnee nation. ! where he was welcomed to the best they had in their lodges. Leaving them, ho next reached the Cherokee#, and then made for Missouri, which State he made some twenty miles north of the Neosho. From thence he came to St. Louis, and then to this city, hav; ing traveled constantly and steadily on foot I for lUfir two mnntlia ) Aft stated before, lie left here last evening ; for Logan county, where he lias a mother anxiously wailing his return. Mr. Daily in I a young man, about twenty-two year* of age, I and born on the 4th ot July, our national ! day of independence. He says he is no in| dependent man, but lie did not feel so at the lime lie was witnessing the horrid murder of his fellow men among the savages of the Far West. After eighteen months' hardships and privations, he finds himself once more among civilized pcoplo, and in a land of peace and happiness. We should suppose by this time he would bo glad to locute in fluckerdoin, and " roam no more." [Springfield (/?/.) Republican. A Baptism Ia'cidknt.?The Baltimore Patriot fttulOH thai a lady redding in the western part of the city, formerly a communicant of the Fpiscopul Church, having lately been converted U> the Baptist faith, under ; the ministration of Iiev. Dr. Williams, of ; the First Baptist Church of that city, was on Sunday ovening immersed in the presence of a largo congregation. This lady had been afflicted for a number of years with the rheumatism, so much that she was unable to walk without assistance. Afttsr her immersion she " cuiue up out of the water n relieved from her affliction, and was enabled to proceed to her home without the help she formerly required. This wonder ful cure was made the subject of some very feeling remarks by the pastor of the church, who attributed it to the agency of the Divine Spirit. Wed dins in Quaker High Lite. The Quaker* are a very nice, quiet peoph ?almost loo quiet to suit the taste* ofsotm of our go-ahead voting ladies, whose excla (nations at a marriage ceremony, on Wednes day, look very much the form and expres sion of" Who would be a Quakeress For some time buck a doublo mariiagt between parlies high in the Quaker work has been on the tapis, and the eighth daj of the fourth month was tho one set dowi for the " accomplishment of their purpose.' So at half-past 10 o'clock, on Wednesday the Friends' Meeting House, in Orchart i street, was thronged, but more by th< World's people than by the Friends.? Three-quarters of tho house were occupiec by ladies, whose diminutive bonnets, Ire monduus hoops and elegant mantles con ! tmated strangely with tho sober drnh " tiv '1 ings " of tb? few staid old Quakeresses wh< ' occupied some of the benches in tho plao? where the pulpit is in other meeting houses . It was n queer Quaker's meeting, and w< I, warrant there was more talking and gossip ping done in a half hour's time than tin old meeting house ever heard before. 1 On some benches elevated one above tan ' other, at the pulpit end of the church, sa ^ the ministers and the elderly Indies of th I meeting in full Quaker costume. On th 5 i lowest bench sat the parents of the partie I! to be married, and when tho house was s< | full it could hold no inoic, the two brid;i J parties appeared itt quick succession, ami I down on tho lowest benches between th ' old folks. The fiist bride had six bride; f maids, dressed in white silk and tarlctai ', very plain but very elegant?all with goo< ? sized hoops. The groomsmen were in fu [ dress aft '* world's folks." The bride horse was robed in white satin, edged with ei mine, and wore an elegant little hat, witl > ] rose-colored ruche. The second bride ha< I j only two maids, in white. Siie wore whit silk, with a mantle and hood, and a whit H lnoe veil ? fich, and simple at the same lime f1 Tho bridegrooms were both dressed in th - j conventional black, and when all had beei ' seated, silence gradually took the place c r j an animated chatter. For a half hour eve > ry one sat still and looked straight into th II fares of the two brides, who endured tho or > j deal with wonderful patience. At lentil : Kriend 1 Mokerson, the minister, knelt dowi ' i unmediately behind the lifst bride. All th ' j congregation?or the audience, as the niiu lister called them?stood up, while l'Tiem I Diokcrson prayed. Then all sat dowi 1' again, and there was more staring tor abou 11 ten in in tit es. 11 At last, as if they could stand it no Ion , | ger, the first couple s'ood up, and, claspinj bands, addressed each other a few word* > which could not be beard except bv thos< ' immediately near tliem. They said some thing about" good husband," "loving am faithful wife," and then sat down agair s Two Kilends, black, next brought a tabh i wherepn was a roll of parchment, an ink p stand and pens, and the ncwlv married pai i' signed something?after which the tab! was carried awav again. The Glerk of th ? meetiug next mounted to the highest of th \ elevated benches, and, in a loud voice, rea the parchment, which set forth that Ilenr ' Laurence and'Caroline Wiiite, of the Git; i of New York, having agreed to marry to | gether, and no -impediment appearing, itc &c., drc., they had risen in open meeting promised ?fcc., <fec., Ac., and signed ihei names to the contract tho eighth day of th , | fourth month. The first couple wcro thu i married. j Tho second couple then rose and wen > through the same formula, but even thoa nearest to tliem could only see thier lip move, and heard no sound. However ' when their parchment was read, it Ret for*.! that Uichard L. Nicholson, of Philadelphia aud Elizabeth Van lioesen, of this city, bm married together, in the same manner as tin first couple. All sat down again, but not : trace of emotion was visible on the face o _ TJ-i i s A * nujr menu. y\iior a tew moments, a vert benevolent looking Quaker gentleman, ir the highest bench, rose and requested tlx j audience to be seated while the parties wen : out. The new)v married retired with theii tiains, and the buzz of voices that follower i was all the more striking from the preview silence. It was a fashionable Quaker wed j ding, and such an one as is not often seen ir | our Friends' Meeting Houses. [sWu? York Daily News. Profank swearing is abominable. Vul gar language is disgusting.

Ecsperato Conflict Between a Lion and , an Antelope. 5 Dr. Livingstone gives a very interesting description of a tight lie witnessed in Africa, . between a Lion and an Antelope. The Dr. . and his guides had just emerged from a narrow detile between two rocky bills, they 5 heard an angry growl, which they knew to I be that of the " monarch of the forest." At r the distance of not more than forty yards j in advance of them, a genisbok stood at bay, > while a hogo, tawny lion was crouched on a rocky platform, above the level of the plain, J evidently meditating an attack on the ante j lope ; only a space of about twenty feet separated the two animals. The lion appeared j to be animated with the greatest fury, the genisbok was apparently calm and resolute, presenting bis well foriilicd bead to the eueinv. } mc lion cautiously changed his position, j descended to the plain and made a circuit, obviously for tho purpose of attacking the I gemsbok in the rear, but the latter was on the alert and still turned his head towards j his antagonist. This tnanceuvei iug lasted for half an hour, when it appeared to the oh sorvers that tho gemsbok used a stratagem , j to induce the lion to make his assault. The Q tlank of the antelope was for a moment pre0 sented to his tierce Rfesaiinnt. As qtiiek as lightning, the lion made a |} I spring, hut while he was yet in the air, the tl I gemsbok turned his head, bending his neck ^ 1 so as to present one of his spear-like lu>ms 0 | at the lion's breast. A terrible laeeraliou j was the consequence; the lion fell back on ( I his haunches and showed a ghastly wound l' I in the lower part of his neck. lie uttered a n ! Iiowj of rage and anguish, and hacked oil ij-' at a distance of lifty yards, seeming half disposed to give up the contest, but hunger, fnf, ?y, or revenge, once mora impelled him forj ward. His second assault was more furious I uiid headlong, be rushed at the gemsbok, (i I and attempted to leap over the formidable , | horns in order to alight on his back. The ^ gemsbok, still standing on the defensive, el |( evated his head, speared the lion in his side, j-'a mortal wound, as tho horns penetrated to ! the depth of six or eight inches. Again the 0 lion retreated, groaning and limping in a . | manner which showed that lie had been se1 j verelv hurt, but soon collected all his ener () 1 gies for another attack. At the instance of ! col ision, tho gom*bok presented a horn so I as to striko tlie lion immediately between j his two forelegs, and so forceful wnsthestroke |( l that the whole length of the horn was lui t lied in tho lion's body. For nearly a minute the two beasts stood motionless; then tho gemsbok, slowly backing, withdrew his r spear and the loin tottered and fell on his * (side, his liinbs quivering in the agonies of ^ i death. The victor made a triumphant tloiirI isli of his heels, and trotted oil, apparently, j without having received the least injury in ( I the conflict.? l)r.

To wiile well for a newspaper, however, is no easy task 'v> lint very few can do it. It require) knowledge, judgment, taste and practice. The American Presbyterian speaks ihtu on the ' | subject: ' As a"general rule, short pieces are best e liked. A gentleman in a bank once told us 3 when we asked him to subsetibe for a certain tj'.iarterly Iluvimv : " lioad a Review ? t why, 1 mver read anything longer than a telegraphic despatch! Hut I will take it ' | and send it to my broth or, who is a mini-tor . in the country." Tlio public like n short ar'.i-,le, wlicn it is a condensation, i This introduces a second idea.

A Pet Lion in Pri^pn. Gerard, the celebrated lion hunter of Algiers, relates the following anecdote of a pet Hon. named Hubert, which he caught when i a cub, and raised till he was sent to the public gardens?meuageria, in Paris : Hubert was placed in the Jardin des Plants, where, soino time afterwards, Gerard went to see him. lie was lying half asleep, gazing with Inj difference on all she visitors, when ho sud| denly raised his head, his eyes dilated, a I nervous twitching of the muscles of his face and the agitation of his Inil showed that the , sight of the well-known uniform had roused him. lie had recognized tlio uniform, but had not yet identified his old master, llis eyes vaguely interrogated this vaguely remembered form. Gerard thrust his hand into the cage. It was a touching moment which followed. Without taking his eyes from Gerard, he applied his nose to the outstretched hand, and began to breathe deep I i? . .......... i .1. i.: - ? 1ij, , linn vnuiji uichiii ni? uvb ueciuiio more aflectionntp, ami when Gerard said to him, " Wei!, Hubert, my old soldier," he made a , terrible bound against the bars of bis prison, which trembled beneath his weight.

His rough tongue licked with joy the hand which 1 I abandoned to him. while with his enoimom | paws lie tiied to draw mo gently to him No sooner did any one approach the cag? 1 than He flew out in frightful expressions o I anger, w hich changed into calmness and ca ' resses on their retreating. It is impossible for me to describe how painful our parting J was that day. Twenty times I was forced j to return to re assure hint that he would .! s'.-e me again, and each time that I moved , out of sight, he made the place tremble will j bis bounds and cries, l'oor Ilurbert! tbii , visit, and the long tetc a tctc of subsequent I visits, made captivity a little less painful t< i hint, but tbe ell'ect seemed to be injuriou; on the whole, lie dumped, and the keepei attributed it to these visits, which perhnpi made him languish for the camp and hit old days of liberty. He died, leaving Ge rard resolved to kill as many lions as h< j could, but to capture no more ; death in tin I forest by a rifle being infinitely preferable tc ' a.pulmonary disease bred in a prison. I Female Heroism.?Among the incident: of the late fire at Georgetown, we find tb< following related by the Evening Star : 44 We understand that while the fire wa raging on Wednesday afternoon, soveral in dividuals, representing themselves as' fire men, insisted upon entering the dwelling o a respected clergyman situated in the sam< block as tbe burning buildings. The nrti cles in the house having been prepared foi ' removal by the family, it w as not consider od advisable to admit strangers, and avouni I! daughter of the minister took her positiot j at the front door, and gave the parties no I tiec that they would not he allowed to on I j lor. Previous to taking her stand, whil j packing up the various articles, a servan j discovered a revolver in a bureau drawer < ami, for fear of accident, handed it to tin j young lady, who deposited it in her dress J pocket for safety. Upon "or arrival at tin i front door, the parties, not satisfied with hei , refusal, .signified their intention, in a rough I rowdyish manner, to entei ; when, as a last resort, assured that evety thing depended upon her determination, the little heroine, stepj ping back, pteseuted the revolver, and in I formed her uncouth vis'tors that the first | man that attempted to pass her would bo r dead man. It Is needless to say that the ! individuals retired.

In token of | the truth of this statement, we need onlv I state that his courtship lasted seven years. J Six years and a half passed away, and the | Reverend gentleman had got no further fori ward than he hud been the iirat six days. I This state of things became intolerable ; a ! step in advanee must be made, and Mr. i Brown .-amunoued all his coiiih.ta f.?r , # ? deed. "Janet," said lie, an they sat one ! night in solemn silence, " we've been acI <|uainted now for six years and inair and 1 I have ne'r gotten a kiss yet; d'ye think 1 might take one ma bonnie girl?' " Just as yon like, John, only bo becoming and proper wi' it"?" Surely, Janet, we'll ask a blessing." The blessing was asked?the kiss was taken, and the worthy divine, perfectly overpowered with the blissful sensation, I most rapturously exclaimed?"t>! woman ! But it is fjui'l?we'll return thanks." Six months made the pious couple man and wife, and, added his dencendant, who humorously tells the story, a happier couple I never spent a long and useful life together.
