(From Harper’s Now Monthly Magazine.) 11‘ must lune been nearly ten o’clock when my mule suddenly stopped, turned around, and set or) that peculiar nickering bray by which these animalsliiiil the ap- proach of strangers. As soon as he ceasedbis unwelcome noise, I, listened, and distinctly heard the' clutter of boots in the read, about half a mile in the rear.’ That my pursucrs were rapidly approaching there was cowvery little doubt.,â€"- it was useless to attempt to reach San Miguel, which must be still four or five miles distant. 1 had not: titnc, and resolved at once to make for a little grove some three or four hundred yards to the right. As 1, iipprOaCbed the nearest trecsl wasi rejoiced to see somctliii‘ig like a fence. A little farther on was a gray object with a distant. outline. it must be a house. There Was no light; but I soon discovered that l was Within fifty yards of a small abode building. My mule now pricked up his cars, snuffed the air wildly, and absolutely refused to! move a step nearer. l dismounted and tried to drag him toward the door. His terror seemed uncon-i querable. With starting eyes and a wild bloning sound from his nos-. trils, he broke away and dashed out i into the plain. I speedily lost sight of him, This time 1 had taken. the precaution to secure my papcrsl and pistol on my person. The mule had taken the direction of San Miâ€" guel, but even should 1 be unable to recover him the loss would not be so great as before. However, it was no time to calculate losses.â€" Tlie clutter of hoofs grew nearer and nearer, and soon the advancing forms of two mounted men became distinctly visible in the moonlight. There was no alternative but to seek‘security in the old abode, I’ ran for the door and pushed it open. The house was evidently untenanted. No answer was made to my sum» mous save a mocking echo from the bare walls. , My pursueis must have caught sight of me as they approached. I could hear their imprecations as they tried to-force their animals up to the door. One of the partymthe Colonel, whose voice 1 bad no difficulty in recognising, said, ‘Bâ€"the follow! what did he come here for ’l’ The other answered with an oath and a brutal laugh, ‘ We’ve got him RICHMOND uric, Faro light through one small window.

Come, bezquick l’ . Another pause. I heard a low whispering, and stood, with breath- less anxiety with my finger upon the trigger of my pistols In that brief period it was wonderful how many thoughts flashed through my mind. I knew nothing of the con- struction of the house, had no time even to look around and see if there was any back entrance. A taint hole in front, within three feet of the door, \r'as all I could discern.â€" Every nerve was stramed to its ut- most tension. My sense of hearing was painfully acute. The low whispering of the two ruflians, the faint jingling of their spins, the' very creaking of their boots, as they stealthily moved, was fearfully audible. With an alll’lOSI absolute, certainty of death, without the remotest hope of relief, it was strange how my thoughts wan‘, dered back upon the past; how thel peaceful fireside of home was pic-l lured to my mind; how vividly I saw the beloved faces of kindred and friends; how all that were dear to me seemed to sympathise in my unhappy fate. Yet it was im-t possible to realize that my time had come. The whole thingâ€"~the camp. dark, . murderous faces, the chase, the blrmkadcâ€"â€"resembled ra.~ ther some horrible fantasy than the dread'truth. Strange, too, that 1 should have noticed something eVen grotesque in situation; run into a hole, as the ruflian Jack had said, like a coyote or a badger. Five minutesâ€"it seemed a long timeâ€"â€" must have passml in this way, when I became conscious of a gradual darkening in the room. A low, heavy breathing attracted my at- tention. I looked in the direction of the Window and thought I could detect something movmg; but the darkness was so impenetrable that it might be the result of imagina- tion. Should I fire and miss my reveal my position, and be certain destruction. The dark mass mOVed again. 1 , {rot in through the small window~ hole.

I cer- tainly had less fear of the dead than of the living.

White] was trying to get a shot at him in return, he jumped to his feet anti staggered out of range. I thought it best new to rest sans tied with success so far, and again retired to my position behind the door. For the next teti or fifteen minutes I could hear, from titne to time, the smothered imprccations of the wounded rutlians, but after llllS there was a dead silence. I heard nothing more. They had eitl’ici“ gene” or were lying in'wait near by, supposing I would come out: This uncertainty caused me considerable anxiety, for] dared passed in this way, during which: I Was constantly on the ground; but not the slightest indication of the presence of the enemy was percep- tible. 'l‘wo nights had nearly passed, during which I had not closed my eyes in sleep. The per- petual strain of mind and the fatigue of travel was beginning to tell.â€"-â€"l felt faint and droiiisy. During the whole terrible ordeal of this night 1 h‘d not dared to sit down. But now my legs refused to support me any longer. lgroped my way to- ward a corner of the room to lie down. Some soft mess on the ground caused mete stumble. 1 lthrew out my hands and fellâ€"~â€" What was it that sent such a thrill of horror through every fibre? A dead body lay in my embrace~â€" cold, mutilated, and clotted With bloodl It has been my fortune, during a long career of travel in f0- reign lands, to see death in many forms. 1 do not profess. to be ex- empt from the weakness common to most menâ€"a natural dread of that undiscovered region to which we are still travelling. But 1 never had any particular l‘Opugitance to the presence of dead men. What, are they, after all, but inanimate. clay? The living are to be feared, -~not the doad,~-who sleep the, sleep that knows no waking. Not, thisâ€"not the sudden contact with a corpse; not simply the cold and; blood-clotted face over- vliich it passed my hand was it that caused, me to recoil with such a thrill ofl horror. It was the solution of a dread mystery. There, in a pool! of clotted gore, lay the corpse of a murdered man. No need was there to conjecture who were his mur- -‘lercrs. I rose up, thoroughly aroused from my drowsiness. It was probable others had shared the fate of this tnan. If so, their be- dies must be near at hand. 1 Was afraid, to open the door to let in the light, for, bad as it was to be shut up in a dark room with the victim or victims of a cruel murder, it was worse to incur the risk of a similar; fate by exltosing myself. After smnewhat recovering my (tempos. urel groped about, and soon dis- covered that thrcc other bodies, were lying in the room: one on at bedâ€"a woman with her throat cut frotn ear to enr-â€"-and two smalch bodies on the floor near by~â€"â€"chi1. ilren, perhaps eight or ten years old, ,‘ but so mutilated that it was difficultl to tell what they were.

From the general appearance of the dead bodies I judged them to be an emigrant family from some of the \Vcstern States.

V Mr. George Peabody is literally persecuted by beggars in London-â€" His noble deed of charity to the poor of London has aroused the averice of the improvident and needy denizens of that city, who are reported by one of the daily journals as invading his privacy, in~ terrupting his business, and disturb- ing his peace generally. The only means of replying to applicants for charitable assistance is by a printed circular, in which Mr. Pea- body says ' ‘ The immense number of letters daily arriving at his ad- dress, renders it difficult for him to read them even partially; and a written reply to each would take up the time of a dozen persons. To those who ask pecuniary relief, 'Mr. Peabody will say that if his means would allow him to assist all in ad- versity, nothing would give him more pleasure; but as they are not, applicants must take the will for the deed.

He rose be- fore the audience, tall, erect and vi~ gorous, With a glow of health open his check, said: ‘You see betore you a man 80 years old. I’ have fought 200 bottles, have 14Woun'ds on my body, have lived 30 days. On horse-flesh with the bark of trees for my bread, snow and ice for my drink, the canopy of heaven for my coveringr ; without shoes and stock- ings for my foot, and with only .a fe\v rags for mv clothing. to the desert of Egypt 1 have marched for days with a burning sun on my naked head, feet: blistcrcd in the scorching sand, with the nostrils and mouth filled with dust,- and thirst“ so tormenting that ' l“"l-iave"‘opéiife'd" the veins of my arms and suclifedfimy own blood t Do yeti ask howl ism:- vived tlicsehorrors 't I answerft'hait under the providence of God, Howie my preservation, my health, my viâ€" gor, to this fact, that 1 never drank a drop of spirituous liquors in my life ;” and continued he, “ Baron Larry, chief of the medical staff of the French army, has stated it as a fact that the 6,000 survivors who safely returned from l.tlgypt,'were all of them men who abstained from the use of ardent spirits.” A SHARP Deonâ€"The Fond du Lac (lVisconsin Recorder), contains the following compliment to the canine family : A very good anec- dote is related of a Newfoundland dog, owned by Mr. .T. 1“. Streing Of this city. Among,r other 'tl‘i‘ingls the (tog,r had been taught to take 58'. basket and go to the n'iai‘ket for meat. This duty he had performed for some time, when the butcher presented his bill for settlement and to the astonishment of Mr. S. it was double the amount he had kept. The bill was paid, but the dog was suspected and watched, one day it was found that after doing the regu- lar marketing, he tuck the basket and did a little on his own book, eat- ing the proceeds on his way home, and on his arrival returning the bus- ket to its proper place. To put a stop to this the butcher was instruct- ed to give meat onlv when a piece of paper Was found in the basket. The dotsr tiled the irmrlicting on his own book several times, but failed in getting anything. and finally, as though he had turned the matter over in his mind, observing how it was done, he one day went in and tore off a piece of a newspaper, placed it in a basket, and obtained his hard earned dinner. If the whole of this is true it stows a re- tlectivencss ‘ on the part of the dog not often seen among animals, and stamps him as one of the most sagaw cious of his kind. A cow belonging to Mr. John David- son,ot Guelph, which had been missing Since the 17th of September, was found on Friday last jammed up in a woodpile in the vicinity of the Guelph lVlills. The poor animal was in a most. attenuated and ghastly condition, looking l.ke a prepared Skeleton wrapped in an old hide, and must have existed without food or water for twenty-two days. \thn she went astray she weighed nearly 700 lbs. On being liberated she drank sortie gruel and new appears likely to become herself again. M‘_._....__.
