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 ** witn SHRIEKS OF MORTAL PAIN, •ndfeU writhing to the earth.

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. Sandy Griswold. 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. ‘•Kuther like it.

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” MEDICAL, FOE STOCK. COLIC AND GRUBS.
