RHODODENDRON.
Spiritualists in Their Search for a
Secret Store of Treasure.
Corfetpundeuct to the '.'i'iciniiati Enqurier.
Lancaster, Oiiio. April (>.— Handing an
a ■•count a few fays since of the efforts of a
Spiritualistic wizard out in Indiana some
where to unearth a hidden treasure recalls
an old legend of this vicinity of u similar
hut more thrilling character.
In the tall of 1 sms there appeared in the
little village of Sugar Grove, eight miles
south of this city, a band of Spiritualists
under the leadership of one Nathaniel-White,
of Cleveland, and Ezekiel Kendall, a well
known citizen of the neighboring town of
Newark. The latter gentleman claimed
that, through the instrumentality of a
Spiritualistic medium, he had been directed
to a spot on an isolated and lonely crag
iiard-ny, where untold treasures lay hidden,
;l! ,d that in three successive dreams he had
Visited the place, and with the assistance of
a witch-hazel had located the exact spot
where this fabulous wealth reposed. It
had been cached there a hundred years
ago, according to a musty old memory of the
first’ inhabitants, by an indomitable
TUTTLE BAN'D OF JESUITS,
who had come up the romantic Hockhook
intr in their bark canoes as far back as 1777,
and established a rude stoekodo on the spot
where now stands the Dennis House, in the
I ttle village above alluded to. Contrary to
the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience
supposed to have been taken upon them
selves by these enthusiastic religionists, they
had brought with them fabulous treasure in
gold and silver and precious stones, with
which it was their ordained mission to re
deem the heathen of all this then vast un
broken territory. Eight miles to the north
of this Jesuit post, on the right bank of the
murmuring river, where the flourishing City
of Lancaster now stands, stood the Indian
village of Tarke Town, and the bold and
hardy followers of Ignatius Ixvyola had
barely established themselves in their rude
borne" below before the
FIERCE AND WARLIKE WYANDOTTES
6allied forth against them. But the French
missionaries had been warmed of their peril
by a friendly Indian maiden, who lived in
ah isolated lodge with her aged parents off
in the gloomy pine woods, a few miles from
the mission. This deerepid old red man and
his family had many times been recipients
of the Jesuits’ benevolence and friendli
ness, and it was this fact, no doubt, which
led the girl to betray her people. The
night the aborigines came, of course, the
sturdy religionists were in readiness to re
ceive them.
Darkness and gloom enveloped the earth,
yet objects in the clearing surrounding the
stockade could be distinctly descried in the
brilliant starlight. Only a single light burn
ed within the rude mission fort, and its
pale, flickering lustre was all the courageous
little band had to work by. The women
and children were huddled together in a
protected corner of the building, w hile the
men stood in the shadow at the loop-hole,
like immobile images, ready but not anxious
for the fray. Religious exhortation had
had no influence upon the heathen, and the
Jesuits saw that it was only left for them
to light. Every art and stratagem known
to savage warfare was called into play by
the crafty Wyandottes to deceive the
whites, but they held out against them all.
Many a cunning warrior who spent half the
night in stealing up to the log fortification
received
A SLUG OF LEAD
for his reward; many a distinguished brave
who availed himself of some artful contriv
ance. bv which he hoped to delude the bold
spirits within, was riddled through and
through the very moment he was counting
on success. The most adept strategists of
the Wyandottes could not catch the white
sentinels at fault. It was the hour of mid
night, so runs the old story, the most gloomy
and weird of all. Sleep had closed the eves
of the women and children, and a sort (if a
stupor nr drowsy indifference had fallen
over all except the most experienced, when
one of the sentries gave the intelligence that
a hand of Indians had gathered at the edge
of the forest in front of the stockade, and
almost at the same instant another discov
ered them in sevpn greater numbers eroitch
ing low along the I order of the woods in the
lptir of the fort. This quickly revealed to
the keen perceptions of the commander of
the religionists the scarlet myrmidons' pinn
of attack. A few were to assail the stock
ade in front, until the attention of Its de
fenders was concentrated in that direction,
wliiic the attack would lip made in the
rear and a determined attempt made to
scale tne palisades, a clumsy liost fence with
" Inch all early border stockades were in
closed.
Be ready, men, the heathen are coining!”
came the tremulous admonition from the
Jesuit commandant.
All could see the shadowy outline of their
no.ies as they came moving stealthily and
noiselessly along upon the ground. When the
iaik line had approached to a close range
„ , A hl 'e leader gave the signal to fire, and
# dozen old flint-locks belched forth, mid
v.lnlt a ' l,l their deadly contents, and
ueoriy half as many red men leaiied into the

may appear-for, mind, that which is row
being related is literally true—exhumed two
stones, riltout four feet in length, the exact
counterparts of each other, and roughly
hewn in the shape of huge arrow-heads.
These two stones Mr. Stuckey, who still
resides on this same farm, preserved for
yeas in his front yard as ornaments; in fact,
kept them until this day, but climatic
changes and much handling have
destroyed much of their original sem
blance.
The Spiritualists regarded this discovery
as a certain omen of the ultimate success of
their search, and they at once erected a wind
lass and sunk a well through the rocks to the
depth of one hundred and forty feet, and ut
which, in those times, was an enormous ex
pense.
There they worked assiduously all through
the hazy autumn days, while nightly at the
rude hostelrie in the homely little village
they held their weird seances. Mr.
■Stuckey, then a mere lad, was permitted
one day to descend the shaft on the hill
top to a depth of one hundred feet, and
was on more than one occasion a witness at
their
GHOSTLY CONVOCATIONS
at night, these being held, as I said before,
in the village inn, which was kept by
Erastus Stuckey, the father of the gentle
man named.
IVlien the treasure-hunters had reached a
depth of one hundred and forty feet they
were on a level with the surface of the Hock
hocking, and, striking water, were com
pelled, though reluctantly, to desist at their
superstitious labois. They spent several days
thereafter,however, in exhorting and preach
ing in the village, but failing incontinently
to make converts to their belief out of the
unsophisticated yet intelligent villagers or
the good ]>eople of the quiet countryside,
the whole gang one night jumpod their
hoard bill with all the eclat of modem artists
in this line, and, like Arabs, silently stole
away.
The wralhv old landlord, however, fol
lowed Mr. Kendall to his lair in Newark,
and, under threats of exposure and prosecu
tion, secured the account he held against the
entire party.
RHODODENDRON HILL.
But let me tell you something about this
hill, known as Rhododendron, as it is to-day.
Reaching its base, by a devious route
through {line woods and laurel thickets, you
start right into its very bowels, it seems, bv
means of one of the hundreds of narrow
fissures, with which tiie mount is riven and
rent from top to bottom and on all sides.
Then you go, now up, now down, now right,
now left, then straight ahead, then round
again, through winding galleries of grand
yet gruesome and clammy solid rook, un
canny in the uncertain light of even a jocund
summer day. Through a tenebrous labyrinth
of this wondrous natural architecture you
make your way, trodding ground but'sel
dom touched by human foot, until suddenly
you are brought to a halt at a singular-look
ing crevice which abruptly ends ahead a few
yards in tlio massive and disheveled rocks.
Peering down this steep incline, nothing
but blackness greets the strained vision.
That darkness is the Spiritualists’well. You
can throw stones and sticks down into it and
hear them as they rattle and nimble against
the mural sides "until, with a splash, they
strike the water two hundred feet lielow.
The scene off, while gloomy and chilling, is
still
REMARKABLY PICTURESQUE AND ENCHANT
ING
as one stands on the summit on the north
side of the hill. There a rocky facade falls
below for the distance of nearly three hun
dred feet without a break, shelving or lodge,
and at its base can be traced, midst the dark
given of the low -growing laurel, the silvery
sinuosities of a small rivulet, which gr)f*3
gurgling and purling away until it is swal
lowed up in the blue bosom of the Hock
hocking. The waters of this stream are de
lightfully pure and cold, and along its banks
'mong the rocks, covered with their trailing
mosses and other plants of cryptogamian
character, blooms the most wonderful rhodo
dendrons known in this or any other coun
try, great lustrous blossoms six to eight
inches in diameter, and white as the driven
snow.
Rhododendron hill runs off into a narrow
ridge from this point to the westward, end
ing in a series of ancient fortifications,
tumuli, mounds and earthworks in many
different shapes and forms, and from whim
many valuable and interesting relics hav e
been gathered.
When, rosy Juno comes round ngain,
Providence willing, and memory serves me
properly, I'd send you a box of rhododen
drons from this spot, such as are seldom seen
anywhere away from here.

LESS GOSPEL AND MORE HOE.
Sad Experience of a Brother with the
Close Communionist.
From the Little Lock Gazette.
“If there ain’t a change in the religious
world pretty soon, I'm going to throw down
the gospel and take up the grubbing hoe,”
remarked an old man yesterday. “I have
rid a circuit for forty odd years, and I’m
treated worse now than when I first be
gan. ’’
“What is your causo of complaint, par
son?” asked a bystander.
“My recent cause is one that flakes all
others,” answered the circuit rider, wiping
a drop of waiter from the end of his peaked
nose with the sleeve of his brown jeans
coat. "1 have preached a good deal here
in Little Rock, and until recently it had al
ters been iny belief that if a man could
pull through here, ho could pull through
anywhere. But 1 was blind wrong. Yes
terday 1 went in the Gum Lick district,
where I lmd nn appointment to preach in
the school house. When I got there I found
old man Wiggles, a hardshell Baptist, had
got In ahead Jif me. I weut in without any
ill feeling, intending to wait until he got
through,When 1 would muster tny congre
gation and take the field. After a while
he got through preaching, and an
nounced that sacrament would be taken
when the boy got hack from the still house.
My congregation use whisky instead of
wine,” lie went on, “and Arkinsaw corn
bread instead of your wheat flxens.”
Just then the boy arrived and the old man
took the cob stopper from the black chunk
bottle atid began to pour out the whisky.
Now if there is anything that strikes me
natural it is whisky, and thinking that 1
could preach better after being warmed up
a little, I went up to the table and reached
out for the bottle when the old mail looki (1
at me and said:
“Ain’t you a Methodist?”
"Yes, sir.”
"Don’t you know that we don’t allow the
Methodists to commune with usf l>o you
take this place for a free lunch counter, eh?
No, sir; if you are not a customer of the
Lord you canuot eat and drink here."
"I’ve got a right to the table," 1 said, "and
I’ll help myself.”
"Tech that bottle and 1 11 lift you.”
"I grnblird flip bottle, and the old man
struck me with a jkiho of corn bread and
knocked me down. Then somebody kicked
me, and all hands drug mo out.'*
"You got into a m-st of close comimtninn
ista. did youf” asked the bystander.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, APRIL IS, 1887.
FIGHTING THE GREASERS.
Trouble on the Border with Mexican
Cattle Thieves.
A\ illmm J. 'Lannon ufl.l a reporter a kh k
ago of a fight that Dave Stoddard’s cow
boys had with some Mexicans who stole M<!o
of his cattle. Mr. Laiinon left Arizona be
fore the cattle were returned, and could not
t“ll the reporter what was tho result of the
second trip of the cowboys across tho bor
der.
A esterday Mr. Lannon received a letter
from Stoddard informing him of the re
sult. As will Vie remembered,
after one of Stoddard's men was
killed, the rest of the party returned to the
ranch from across the line for re-enforce
ments. Stoddard left with six chosen men,
and came up with the Mexicans about
twenty miles northwest of La zero. They
were just cooking supper when their camp
was surrounded, and a rifle was pointed at
every one of them. There was no escape
for them, says the San Francisco Examiner,
and they quietly told Stoddard to take the
cattle.
“Well, Dave didn't like to leave,” said
Mr Lannon, again glancing at the letter,
‘‘without laying the greasers out, but he
lias clear judgment, and knew that if he
slaughtered any of them, another force
would come over, and he’d have no end to
his troubles. Well, he says here that he
just bound every one of them so they
couldn't follow, leaving them there to rot if
they felt so inclined, and drove back the
cattle.
“That wasn't like Dave’s way of doing,”
continued Mr. Lannon, folding up the letter
and putting it back in his inside coat
lxx kei; “be was always reckless ever since
I’ve known him and that’s nigh on thirty
years since we met back in Missouri.
While I’m talking about him, I'd just like
you to correct an article which appeared in
a newspaper a couple of years ago about
him.
“1 sk'u't suppose you remember the shoot
ing orHmulsonie Charley, when Dave was
nearly killed. No? Well, Charley was a
sharper, and as handsome a chap as ever
set foot in Arizona. The old timers got on
to him right away though, and steered shy
of him. He was a gnat horsetrader, and
Stoddard was always hinting that he'd like
to have Charley come around and he’d take
him in. Well, it happened that Charley did
go round one day on horseback and the two
tx*gan talking trade. H was a handsome
bay mare that Charley straddled and Stod
dard was bound to have it, giving an
other hoi's? that was no slouch and s.‘>o in
gash.
"Charley rode away in high spirits and
Stoddard mounted his new horse. Well,
the (turned thing was no good on earth. It
was not sound and as weak as a kitten in the
back.
“Stoddard swore revenge and started out
for it. He didn’t care about the swindle,
but lie didn't want to have it said that he
was taken in by a tenderfoot.
“He came up with Charley at the Cross-
Ties saloon, where the latter was showing
off Stoddard's horse and setting up the
drink-. He saw Dave coming, and know
ing what was going to happen by the color
of his eye, pulled and fired, hitting Dave in
the thigh of his right leg. Dave fired a
second later, and as it was his rule never to
miss a mark, Charley fell w ith a bullet hi
his heart.
“Now, the report got around that Dave
had his hands in his |x'ket.s when Chariey
fired, and it's a mistake, for Dave never
did anything like this in his life, and I'm
telling you that there was a time when there
wasn't a man who could give Dav e any
slack chat. If you'll just correct that
statement about his hands in his ixx’kets I'il
be much obliged. Come in and have some
thing f”
