As soon as we ?l left the cars at Anderson, a stranger ini could seo that something unusual, "I was on band.

J- ? *?* vi ? oiicjy vii IIJU JT1R1D8) QC" Bcribca a bivouac of the soldiers stationed on that poet, and relates the following incident: At the further side ol a meadow Btood n log hut, and near it stood a solitary grave. Here, all alone, had lived an old man named Fronchy, until last May, when the Sioux murdered him. He was a queer case, and came from (Jana da, where ho has a brother living, who is wealthy. Old Frenchy, as he is called, kept no arms, and did not believe the Indians would harm him. The frontiersmen remonstrated with him, and an officer passing one day with troops, before he was killed, offorea to i?nd him a gun and some ammunition, assuring him h e would be killed ; v.,tTrenchy do clined,saying, "I have u%ver done them any harm, why should the Indians wish to hurt me ?" In the East Frenchv would have been called a Quaker, but ont here everybody called him a crazy-beaded old fool. One day last May,while ho was planting potatoes, a party of Sioux rushed down from the hills upon him, and after shooting liim through the body, stnek a pick through his temples, so the point itnck in the ground, and so left liim, after stripping off his clothes. Major Baldwin, with a party of jitizens from South Pass, found liim next day and buried him. His real name wns T.? Pnm , 10 persistently claimed that his 'atlier bad served as a brigadier general under Napoleon, and that le had great relatives in Franco. Jld Frenchy's house was a curious tructurc, and worthy of a sketch n Harper. Near where he lived the timber ras very largo, and as tho poor Id man had no horses and no one o help him, ho had to cut the thick ogs in short piecos so as to be able o drag and lift them. With a opo he had hauled some of these og8 moro than a mile, and it was ncredibio to see what heavy ones o had lifted on his house, and ow nicely lie had joined the ends jgethcr, it taking two and somemcs three lengths to reach along ne side of the building. He haa iade an old-fashionod shavingoree, and with a rusty shavingnifo had hewed down poles and iade chairs, tables and bunks, nside he bad an extra bed nicely tted up; and to sleep licre and artake of whatovor be lmd to oat ? his cabin, all white men and In miit) wore welcome, lie never ifused to divide what he had with hoever came, and was the friend r all alike. I Savage, indeed, mnst have been i e nature, and hard the hearts, of ' oee who, in cold blood, conld ' nrder snch a poor old man.

In the recently published " Life of Audubon " is*an account of an interview with Daniel Boone, the Kentucky pioneer, at Frankfort, in that State. " While at the town of Frankfort (about the year 1812). Audnbon, had an opportunity of seeing the celebrated Daniel Boone " barking ^uirrels," or, in a less technical phrase, driving them out1 of their places by firing into the bark of the irCo immediately beside the position tliey crouch into. Audubon went out with Boono to see the sport, and writes: "Wo walked out together, ,and followed the rocky margins of the Kentucky river until wc reached a piece of flat land thickly covered with black walnuts, oaks and hickories. As the mast was a good ono that year, the squirrels were seen gamboling on every treo around us. My companion, a stout, halo, athletic man, dressed in a homespun hunting shirt, barelegged and moccasined, carried a long and heavy rifle, which, aa ho was loading it, he said had proved efficient in all his undertakings, and which he hoped would not tail on this occasion, as ho felt prond to show mc his skill. The gun was willfid. tllfl rMMV^Ai- mancBi-Ail J UV ?? % V* liiVUOUl V/VJj HIO ball patched with six biindred thread, and the charge sent hotno with a hickory rod. 44 Wo moved not a 6tep from tho place, for the squirrels were so numorous that it was unnecessary to go after them. Boone pointed to one of these animals which had observed us, aud was crouched on ft branch about fifty paces distant, and bade me mark well the spot where the ball should bit. lie raised his piece gradually until tho bead (that being the name given by theKentuckians to the sight) of tho barrel was brought to a lino with tho 6pot which ho intended to hit, and lired. " I was astounded to find that the ball had hit tho piece of bark I immediately beneath the squirrel shivored it to splinters, tho concussion produced by which had killed the animal, and sent it whirling through tho air, as if it had been blowed up. 44 Tho snuffing of a candle with a ball I had an opportunity of seeing near the banks of Green river, not far from a largo pigeon roost, to which I had previously made a visit. I heard many reports of guns during tho early part of a dark night, an<f knowing them to he those ot rifles, I went towards the spot to ascertain the cause.

Mrs. Stowe m?y ?#< well, wo should eny, go to iHorid*, and there in some sequestered tele abide. The frequent shoving in detail of the inconsistencies*, of her story about Lord Byron arid his sister is now surpassed by the exhibitloh of its "colored, amplified inaccuracy," as a whole, which is made by a writer in the lost London Quarterly Review. The extracts from this writer's able summary are conclusive. They deal with the merits and the demerit# not only of Mrs. Stowe'a article, but of the entire controversy to which it gave rise, and contain 6ome hitherto unpublished letters from Lady Byron to Mrs Leigh?letters full of expressions of affection nnd confi uence, written at the very period when Mrs. Stowo would have tho world believe that Lady Byrog^liftd- ? ? already been cognj^atit -dfan incestuous intercourse betweon bcr husband and bis sister I The evidence introduced aside from thoso letters, is sufficient for tho vindication of the poet and that u Augusta " to whom he addressed some of the tendcrcst, purest passages of his verse ; but, oven if wo could go so far as to admit that Lady Byron ever did, after writing thoso letters,' tell Mrs.Stowe the tale which tho latter claims to have received from her, what kind of a woman must Lady Byron herself have been ? Tho writer of this article in the London Quarterly does not confine himself to proving tho spe cific charge false ; ho adduces additional proof to refute the incidental charges ol Byron'* uufeeling or ungenerous conduct towards his wife, and even carries the whr into Africa where he may have naturally enough supposed that Mrs. Stowe might bo driven by humiliation to emigrate, for the purpose of drawing a contrast between Lady Byron as sho was and the Lady Byron portrayed by Mrs. Stowe.
