JOBSON Darien, you know, Is exclusively a timber market, and during the f»n and winter months the drift of timber is immense; sometimes averaging fifty rafts a day. Afc such times, the town is literally crowded with raft Lanflg, - , tL ... . . ,. „ and yon may be assured there are all Panicular attention given to file collec- , , hon of claims in Hbuaton and adjoining oE mea among them. After a comities. drift of several days, exposed to the inclemency of the wentlier, when they arrive in port and receive their wages a.goodly number get on a ‘bender,’ 1 lasting some of them several days, or until all their hard earned, wages find its way into tl»« pockets of sharpers, ■or the city treasury. Among the latter class was Uriah Hepworth, from Montgomery conntv. He generally proceeded to get drunk as soon as he arrived at Darien, and remained so as long as he-stayed. He was a harmless old fellow when drank, and a clever man when sober, so that the city authorities were more lenient with him than the majority of offend ers. He was so constituted that he could get drunk aud remain at the same temperature for a week—always going in a kind of daze all the time. All the whiskey in town wo old not get him down, while one drink a day would keep him in the same torpid state. At the time I speak of Uriah had been on an unusually long spree, and the boys who had been in the habit- of having sport with him, had become tired of him, and thinking too much of him to see him go to- prison, deter mined to scare him off, and had al ready matured a plan to do so, when, as I passed a certain store one day from dinner, one of the boys beck oned me in. Now, it was known that Uriah thought a great deal of me, for I had stood by him iu more than one scrape, and he had every confidence in me.— The boys thought I coaid hcl < them out,, and made me acquainted with their modus operandi. It was thought by them necessary that Uiai.h should have at least one friend (?), and I readily agreed to personate that friend. They were to get up a sham fight, itL which Uriah was to be roughly handled, bat not hurt All being ready, a couple of the'rirtfefiffif began an altercation, which soon culminated general riot apparently, into which Uriah was nnwittinglv drawn. Knives and sticks were flourished nronnd, men were knocked down on both sides—Uriah heing floored sever al times—until at last one of the crowd making a desperate lick with his knife at Uriah’s th'oat dexterously pinched hinAvhile another from behind ponred alittle bottie of red ink over his head. The blood (?) flowed fieely, which seemed to frighten the combatants, who with one accord turned their at tention to convincing Uriah that he was badly cut He, seeing the blood, was easily convicted that he was a dead man, fell upon bis back and bowled for a doctor to stop the flow of blood. When Uriah was well nigh fright ened to death, a doctor arrived, and with, much gravity proceeded to ex amine the wounds; finding none, he informed Uriah that he was ike vic tim of a hoax, and advised him to go home before lie was ent up into saus age meat or cat fish bait Uriah: waxed exeeding wroth at this and was in for a head skinning or ex terminating the whole party, with the exception of the doctor and myself, whom he regarded as his friends. However, I succeeded in molifying him, and suggested that he take them by detail. I advised him to begin by challenging Captain Smith, who emp tied theinkoni him. This he did, and of course the challenge was accepted without delgy. I was. to act as Uriah's best friend, and drew aside with Cap. ’s second- to arrange the preliminaries. It was- ar ranged that they should fight with single barreled, guns (of which there was a supply fn the store) afc twenty paces, with a handfnL or two of buck shot in. each gun, and powder enough to fcul at each, end of the gun. We loaded in. the presence of the antago nists, with as much solemnity as pos sible, alltime talking about the crim inality and fatality of dueling: We spoke of coffins, shrouds, grave-stones, and such like ghostly subjects, until I noticed that Uriah was in an agony of Well, E . _ amrnyseIErbi>twm**tm I f °\ aorrowfuDy informed him there efrormstanceg-of this. to me verylndr-j ^ nofc—a«t, as his second, my! eroRB affair^ and 1 then you may censure honor was involved; that if he did not stand, fire I would, according to j the code of honor, take his place. j “Shook him full in the breast, and j you will get meat,” I beard Cap.’s second say.. ‘Jest listen! they are going to mur der me in cold blood,” said Uriah. “No Uriah,” said I, “You have the same chance as Cap. Besides, Cap cannot hit the broad! side of a. bam, and is a coward to boot; so, upon* the whole, you have all tne ehanches in your favor. Shoot him in the paunch.” Eventually we got him in position, placed guns in their hands, and gave "Mr. ’Warthen's Statement.

I’ve showed I’m not skeered, and I’m satisfied.” We could not force him to pass an other shot, and so far from being ready to leave the town, he insisted ; making up and taking a drink. The boys then got out a warrant for liis arrest, charging him with fighting ‘single barreled duel,” anil placed the same in the hands of a good-na tured constable, who air sfc d Lim in the name of the state. He gave bond and was turned loose. We thonght be would leave before night, as he was informed that his trial wonld take place at that time— Night coming on and Uriah still in the city, he was bronght before a moot court, but which was a buna fide court to him. A jury of impartial men was impanneled without difficulty; he was tried, convicted and sentenced to be hung on the spot. He was so well defended, that he had no uneasiness until a verdict was given-. When the Court- asked if he had anything to say why sentence should not be passed, he arose and put up one of the most piti ful plens I ever listened to. It would have melted the hearts of any one else, but that crowd was adamant.- Tbe Judge, with great .solemnity, passed sentence, and there was a mis erable man. They, carried him ont of town a piece to a large oak, where the execu tion was to take place. As was previ ously arranged, I came suddenly upon them in the nick of time with a com pany aud rescued him. Uriah immediately left for home, thanking me from his inmost heart. Now, do yon wonder at my being engaged in a duel? Remember I was a boy in those days, and Uriah has since become a sober man.

Old People’s Happy Days. Hr. Stephen Woodward and wife of Dooly county, celebrated the fifti eth anniversary of their wedding day on Wednesday 17th inst, with a din-1 ner at their home, at which were gath ered their children and their descend ants. The event we are told, was one of great enjoyment to this ancient and estimable couple, who for fifty years have lived together enjoying henitb and prosperity, and rearing an honor able family of sons and daughters. Mr. Woodward is now iu liis sixty- eighth year, and is hale and vigorous for one of his years. He was marrii d on the 17th of June, 1824 m South Carolina. When that event transpired he was. in. his eighteenth year and his In the Spring, two years ago, my thirteen inches deep, following the I JOHN B.

When within five rnilec eastof Jacksboto,. Jack county, Texas, I was walking ahead of tire wagons, when I called to father: “Look at the Indians! Here they come!” My fa ther jumped^ from the wagon and said “Right here will I die-” My father and sister Sarah both had two six shooters each, and they fought desperately. My father killed four Indians and wounded several.— My sister Sarah wounded several In dians. All were soon killed of my family, they were all scalped, the wagons cut to pieces and burned, the horses sto len, and all the provisions, apparel, plunder, etc,, destroyed. At the commencement of the firing I was cut off from the tram, and held up my hands and surrendered. The. Indians tied me to the back of a horse, and in this way I was forced to lay for four days, until they reached their camp in tne Wachita mountains. I was then token from the horse and tied with a log chain to "a plum tree, m front of the chief’s camp. I was kept tied to the tree for one year, was Zed generally with raw meat, and was at times forced to eat the entrails of the beef and horses that were killed, and was choked until I did eat it. After the arrest of Santana and Big Tree I was released from the chain, and was allowed to wander around the camp, closely watched. I stole a five dollar gold piece from the pocket book of one of the chiefs, iftd bribed one of big squaws to get me an old bat, shirt and pants, and mode my escape that night. I have walked all the wav from the Washita mountains; been one week and a half on the road, and haven’t had anything to eat in four days.- - - — The Comanches have five thousand warriors with them, and have made treaties with the other tribes in that settlement.

Tbe recent upheaval in England, •conseqnei.t upon the unhappy differ ences of opinion between the Queen and her Imperial daughter-in-law, says the Courier-Journal, seems to have begun with the shgbt-shaking-up experienced by the royal and impe rial parties when they first went out together ofr a drive. ‘ The Queen anil Erincess of Wales sat themselves pos itively doivn on the back seat of the carriage, and Alexandrawna and Al fred ware obliged to put themselves no a seat with their backs to tbe horses.

The St. Louis Globe has been ma king some calculations from recent statistics on this question, and sum: up in reference to the State of Mis souri as follows: Our 400,000 dogs furnish one of the most important economic consid erations now affecting the; State. In the first plage they: militate -against tbe mutton crop annually to the ex tent of at least §5,000,000; secondly they cost at on average of 25 cents a week each. §6,500,000—enough to run all our common schools and leave a large stealable surplus; thirdly, thay Jay annually through hydrophobia, at least 120 persons, wliieh, §5,000 each—the average price paid by rail roads for the very poorest of brakes men—amounts to: tho farther sum of §690,000. Here is a direct expendi ture of nearly §7,750,000 for dogs not to mention the fines, costa and more remote sentimental damages resulting from law suits about dog lights and consequent severance of friendship between the owners of. the combat ive curs..
