years ago, circuius ances made me, fur a few
days, alt inmate of a family situated in the heart
uf iho Green Mountains. Ii was tho family of
a Hardy young farmer, who, with a wife, young,
ac'tivo aud ambitious as himsulf, had, b I n few
years before, made bis pttgli on n lot of wild
laud, and was now, by ill steady efforts of his
industry, rapidly transforming the patch of
brown wdduruess, which lie hud selected as his
house, imu a cultivated field. It was near the
uight of a buaut.ful summer’s day, and the stm
was slowly sinking behind the woody hills
which, deeply environing die tog house aud the
little opeiimg around it, stood clothed in all the
green majesty of uaiure, sending forth on the
pure atmosphere, cooled and moistened by the
evaporauug spray ol a thousaud falling’rills,
their sweet anu balmy bieaihe impregnated
with all tho mingled fragrance of the blooming
wilderness.' Toe farmer had returned from
his labor iu the field, aud was silertdy pacing
the room with an air ufd.jectiuu and pensive-
ness, lie gave no reasoit, however for this
change m uts deportment, and routaihed silent
till be was kindly interrogated by lib wife;
when he paused awhile and observed—I know
not bow it is, Rebecca, but I Itttve felt this day
a sensation ol uncommon uneasiness rather of
mind than of body 1 believe—iliat same unac.

about me. 1 dunk it all nius be but your own

uie wnh tho air of one who. seems to consider
some explanation called for by. the circumstan
ces, my husoaud tsu hale subject, at times, to
dark aud moody turns, uuj often starts at ima
ginary duuguis, wlnlo real ones appear to be
the least dt bis concern. While sho was speak
ing the busbaud bad approached tho side of the
house and was intently looking dirough a large
crevice between the logs front which the moss,
a substance in common use to stop.tho crevi
ces ot log buddiugs, hull been partly reraovod.
in a moment he started Yack with n look of dis-
■y,seized bis nllo Irom tho wooden .hook by
wiiicli it was suspended from a beam above
him, and iiislaudy cocked it, Rebecca, said lie,
m a Hurried ioue, come here’! Sho trembling
ly oncyed, aud looking through tho crevico in
the direction indicated tiy ins quivering fingoi,
slie instantly recoiled from the viow, and ex
changed a meaning aud alarmed glance with
bur busbaud who was now m the attitude of rais
ing too muzzle uf tho piece to tho crevice.

one of their rifles, and that they uncentci ms of
what they bHd done had pursued thocli is" ni'l
left him in this condition, faintiug from the lo<.t
of blood. I staunched his wonijd in tho bet
way I could, revived and conveyed him to my
tent. Tho wound was ool dangerous and in a
lew days, during which I paid him all the at
tention in uty power, ho was enable to depart
to his tribe who were eqtnrapod round the oili
er end of the lake. After this ho frcqucn ly
visited my tent, bringing me ganto and taking
various ways to express his gratitude. Spend
ing considerable tune with mo in huiijmg ex
cursions, I soon became inqcli attached to Inrn, ' '
ajid repaid his kindness wilb many little pres-
entsot •. ions kinds of trinkets which I bad
brought with me. This probably awakened
thuju dousy of his companmns, as I afterward*
noticed an uncommon coolness an j , reserve in
'heir manner tewirds me when I met them.
While mttters continued thus, one nigju as I '•
lay in niv tent I was awakened by n forums
barking of my dog. • The terrified animal, by
his unnatural cries nnd the manner iu whiph lio
veu.ured forth and frequently retreated back
into thedoor of ntv tent, told mo that no com
mon animal was near me. I arose, retievvcd
ilio priming of my gun, and looked out in tho
direction where the attention of tho dog was
confined. At length my sight tva3 caught by
ityo hideously ghiriug eyeballs that were burn
ing out from the boughs of a thick pine that
siood but eighfwr tnnrods from nty tent. I ntj
onco knew it to he tin enormous catamount.
And judging front the motious of the anim d that
lie was about to loip toward!) me, I re a rived to
hazard a shot, although sensible of the uncer
tainty of nty aim in tho dark. I accordingly
levelled my piece, and csrefu{|y directing my
aim beiwcun (he two bright orbs :hat were
glowiug down upon mo with tho inlefasnoss of
a furnace, I fired am) tho animal with a tre-
tnendttuus leap and a scream that echoed for '
miles among tho mountains of tho lake,’ fell to
ihe ground about half way from tho tree to
whore 1 stood. My dug still refused to ap-
proadt the spot, and knowing tho animat to bo
dangorous even with the Inst grasp oflifo, I
hastily .re-loaded for another fire. At this mo
ment I heard a rustling among tho bushen, nnd
discerning some dark object to movo in tho di
rection of tho animal, and supposing ho was
preparing for auuther lend—I fired. Soma- •
thing fell to tho ground, aud my blood curled
ns I hoard the sound of tho liom tn voice in-tho
hollow groan that accompanied tho fpll! I has
tened to the spot, tho lifeless body-of tho cata
mount lay stretched upon _tho ground—and a
little further I beheld a human being writhing
in the agonies .of death. I applied a torch light
to his faco, and to my unuiernblc grief, discov
ered him to bo^ my Indian frifind. Having
jjuon belated onrnu oxcursiou, lie w.ts probably
approaching my tom for llio night at tho time I
was reconnoitering tho cVnmoiim, aud having;
seen, him fall he was cautiously approaching the
animal when arrestod by the fatal shot which it
was my luckless desliuy to give him. Thcwgh *
unablo to speak, it fierce nnd vengeful express-
inn was beaming in his eyes as ho beheld me.
In it momont, however, ns if satisfied of ;ho In
nocence of my motives on wimestiifg the a so- -
uy of my feelings,-his countenance assumed 4.

Inst convulsive effort of appeased nnd friendly
frilling, ho immediately expired. I doon be
gan to feel settsiblo of tho poculiar idifliaultics
and dangers of nty situation. .If I shqiM call ,
in .tho Indians I doubted greatly whoiher I
should po ablo to prevent thorn from smpoct-
ingluu of intentionally killing their companion;
mid such suspicions I feared would he fostered
by sumo of thoti bo in tltcir present feelings
towards me. And as .suspicion, in jho creed of
(ho Indian, is but little bettor than conviction,
and fearful of tho fiercy tortures which must
follow in caso of such a conclusion in their
minds, I concluded, perhaps unwisely, to dis-
beett their euneavor to havo ffken him to uight
tin! canted turn off t
li.rn alter then owu fashion; or, had they
in this, ilioy would have ambushed nnd shot which tho deceased had with him, and lashing

Hun. Bui now they have not seiyi hint, they
will watcu tor a day or two mid depart as noise
less us they came. 1 expressed *om?S doubts
them to tho body, conveyed it to my canoe
and rowed towards the deepest part of the take.
I shall nevor forget tho painful and glaoray
ol ibeir uositle intentions, and suggested the *’ ;e bngs that amended the potfornnrico ofthut
improbability that dicy would hcre*duro to 1 1 ~ e "' | m M
seek tho tile ut an tudividiiid since the conutry
bad becumo so far settled, that on bo least a-
larui,u force could soou bo rallied mlficient to
ex.uimiuate theif whole tribe. My husband,
said she, was formerly'a hunter on tho lakes,
und ho there luucemly was the cause uf an uc-
cidept whtcli terminated fatally to an ludiati,
aud winch, it seems, they think he can only at
one fur with his iite. Though they pass pea
ceably through die country, and us yet have
cum milieu no violence, still my husband too
well knows ttieir deadly purpose.. How they
have discovered his present residence is still
unknown to him. But I clioq«e he should tell
you his own stoiy.—Stay with us over tomor
row; they will depart aud he will return. I
consumed. _ Thu Indians uftcr reconnoitering
the house, front different positions disappeared
for the night. They repeated tho same sever
al limes (hu next day, when towards night they
disappeared, aud were, soon heard of several
miles off, making their way northward. The,
farmer rciuiued the next day, when he rglrt.od
ad and tearful office. Though conscious ot
my innocence and of being dictated only by
prudence in thus disposiug of him to whom I
could have wished an honorable interment, still
a kind oi guilty feeling, and self condemnation
weighed deeply on my mind. 'Even the mur
muring winds that were sighing mournfully
throuoh the lull pinos that stood towering along
tho ahorse of tho lake seemed to ubraiii me;
and the low wailings of (I10 waves, dashing sul
lenly on the distant beach, seemed to fill on
my oar in tho sounds of reproach fo r the deed I
was committing; dark presentments ofapjiroach-
