anil Snow that Olourd
Ijlko a JUiRliiK
Fire.
This in the ntory that the "oldest in
habitant" told a JJoaton Qlobo reporter
the ether day ; "It was in the month of
.lanimry , 181(5 ( , justflixty-oiRht years ago
thin very month , that it took place , and
nearly scared nil Berkshire county out of
tliuir wits , Hoinl lot mo BCO ; it was on
the night of the IGth or IGth notho 15th
was correct. I lived there with my father
in the south part of Adams , just about
half a inilo north of the Cheshire lino.
Soon after supper I and two or three
ether hoys took our sleds and wont out
for a const. Wo had a Rroat time , I tell
yo ; wo'd > tnrt on a little hill , 'side of a
pond , go down with a rush and buzz ,
away to the ether end of tlio pond. Oh ,
it was grand spoil ! But that hasn't ' any
thing to do with my story , not n mite or
n grain. It was 'long about the tinio
when wo were getting ready to go homo
that it began to snow gently , and I oaw n
Hash of lightning. I spoke to the ether
boys about it , but they didn't BCO it , and
laughed at mo. I felt sura of it though ,
and when wo rcaoho'd homo 1 told my
folks of it. My stars , what fun they did
make of mo. Ila , 1ml They couldn't
make enough jokes , and so they repeated
the same ones over nnd over , and seemed
to enjoy them just an much n.i if they
were now. When I wont to bed I felt
heartily ashamed of myself for having
seen BO ridiculous and impossible n thing
ns n flash of lightning in midwinter , and
uan half convinced that I had boon mis
taken.
"Not long after midnight wo were
awnkcnod by a terrific crash which set
thn whole house a trembling. Starting
out of bed the room was suddenly lighted
by n vivid Hash of lightningwhich lasted ,
it noomcd , several noconds , nnd was fol
lowed by n fearful thundering. Bool it
makes my blood run cold even now to
think of it. I got down stairs as best I
could , and there found the whole family
gals and woman folks and all , all hud
dled together , their tooth chattering
with fear and their eyes bulging out of
their heads. 'Dad , ' I whined , has the
world como to an end1 ? 4N-n-no , " ho
stammered , "but it is n coining fast , an'
wo'ro all burning up , ' Just then there
was another flash , nnd when it vros over
I looked out of the winder and navr at
once -what dad mount ; the enow was allen
on firol It was falling fast , and as it
struck the ground it became red like
, and glowed ns if it would burn up
everything. Then gradually faded until
another Hash caiuo , when it all burst out
again. Where the snow lay on a dead
level this was not noticeable , but on the
fences , the pig-pen , the house , the tip-
cart , droppiivg from the branches of the
trees , wherever there was a projection
of any sort , it glowed and shona like liv
ing flame. "
The old inhabitant loaned back in his
chair , clasped his hands together , and
looked away through the distance of
yearn and his face became solemn as ho
thought of the fear the curious spectacle
created.
"Were you much frightened ? " ques
tioned ono of his listeners.
"Frif-htonedl That ain't no word for
it. I was scared , air ; scared so much
that I nigh shivered myself into the
hereafter on that night. Why , that
blinding lightning would flash into our
eyes , and the thunder came simultane
ously , and the old house would go
- ? in beam
br-r-r-r-r-ugh trembling every
and ratter. That continued for several
hours , and wo utaid up , never daring to
go to sleep huht wo couldn't 'a gene to
sleep in that racket , nnd that fearful
glow and burning kept up on the snow.
I can't describe it , you'd ought to have
soon it yourself. llcQ lire that lit up
the yard nnd road so that you could see
the objects and distinguish them , and
BOO the snow como falling s cadily down
like as if it would bury us under a man
tle of flame. As vro learned afterward ,
all our neighbors round in that part of
the county were just as much disturbed
an wo woro. Moruy Jinks , a friend of
our family who lived in those parts , was
riding on horseback that night from
Savoy hollow up to the Center , and I've
hoard him toll ninny a time how shook
up ho was with fright , for his horse's
mono and oars were ilaming red , and the
bridle reins were just two ntringsof ilamo
reaching from his hand to the bits.
"There was another man riding out
that night , too ; they're both dead years
and years ago. This man was Dr. Uush-
ing , a very famous physician at that time ,
known and rcspootod all over the north
ern part of Berkshire. Ho was riding
homo from a visit to to well , never
mind ; the nauio bos slipped from mo.
Ho was out through nil the atorm , and
noticed the same things that Moroy
Jinks told of , but IIP wasn't so scared us
the rest of us. Ho acknowledged that
his hair was inclined to rise , but ho was
determined to find out what it all meant ,
so ho rode up to the most convenient ob <
joet that showed the ilamo. This happened <
ponod to bo a blueksmith shop , the cayoi
and sides of which scorned to bo burning
up. His horse was dreadful skittish , ami
saw the lire as wall OB ho did , and hated
to go near to it. But the doctor roigncc
him right close up to the shop , ant
when ho got there the horse was si
frightened that she dropped down on hoi
luieos , trembling like n leaf in the wind
Dr. Gushing poked oft the blazing BUOY *
with the butt of his riding whip , and IK
used to toll how it fell to the ground hk (
drops of ilamo , still glowing. Ho kepi
his senses about him , but I guess considerable
erablo moro'ii half the people in thai
part of the county thought the work
I was uurely coming to end. What wouU
J I you think , now , with all your moderi
oddication , your /science / aim philosophy
and what not , if you should BOO the fall
ing snow and the cold earth all in om
grand blare of flaming firof Hey ? Come
now , don't you think you'd be n loetli
disturbed ? Do I think you'd bo calti
and indifferent ? Not a mi to nor a grain. '
And the oldest inhabitant settled bad
as if ho had finished a' dispute , and yet
could not induce him to Bay another wort
on the subject.

Fioia 1'ucl.
Hpoaking about cowboys , Sam Stewart
known from Montana to Old Mexico a :
Bronco Sam , was the chief. His spocin
delight was to break the warlike heart o
the vicious wild pony of the plains , urn
m&ko him the Borvnnt ot man.
P There may bo joy in u wild galloj
across the boundless plains in the crisj
morning , on the back of a Hoot Bronco
but when you return with your rib ;
Aticking through your voat , and find tha
your nimble bleed has returned to tpwi
two hours ahead of you , there ia n tingi
of Hudness about it all.
Bronco Sam , however , made a snccialt ;
of doing all the riding himself. Ill
wouldn't enter into any compromise nnd
allow the horse to ride him.
In n reckless moment ho offered to hot
§ 10 that ho could mount nnd ride n wild
Texas steer. The money was put up.
That settled it. Sam never took water.
This was tnio in a double sense. Well ,
lie climbed the cross-bar of the corral
gate , and asked the ether boys to turn
out their best steer , Mnrquh of Queens-
bury rules.
As the stcor passed out , Sam slid down
and wrapped those parenthetical legs of
his around that high bonded , broad
horned brute , nnd ho rode him till the
( loot footed animal fell down on the buf
falo grass , ran his rod hot tongue out
across the blue horizon , shook his tall
convulsively , swelled up nadly and diod.
It took Smn four days to walk back.
A $10bill looks as largo to mo as the Star
Spangled Banner , sometimes ; but that i
an avenue of wealth that had not occurred
to mo.
I'd ' rather ride a buzz saw at $2 a day
and board.

Mr. James Stevenson , of the geological
survey , has reported to Maj. Powell , as
0110 of the results of his field operation1)
last loison , the discovery of several more
runod cave and cliff cities , differing in
some respects from any ho had before
examined. The most remarkable was
a village of sixty-five underground dwel
lings , situated near the sinnmit > of ono of
the volcanic foot-hills of the San Fran-
isco mountains in the San Juan region
f Arizona. The surface stratum of the
ill had by exposure become hardened ,
, nd formed tlio common roof for the
ntiro community. The dwellings were
ixcavatod after a common pattern , and a
'cscription ' of ono gives nn idea of the
rholo. They had no intercommunication
icncath the surface , and were only accos-
ibl o by moans of square holes leading
'rom the surface by n vertical shaft to
.bo floor of the main room of the dwol-
ing. Eoot-rosts holes at convenient
distances along the sides ot the shaft
orved the purposes of a stairway.
Descending the shaft , the explorers
'ound themselves at the side of an oval-
Imped arched-roof room , about twenty
oot in its smallest diameter. At the ends
.nd in the side opposite the pntranco row
loorways connected the main room with
mailer rooms , the whole suite or dwell-
ng consisting of four apartments. Ono
if the smaller rooms had its floor oxca-
atcd to a depth of two or three foot bo-
ow those ot the ether rooms , nnd is sup-
> oscd to hnvo served the purpose of storo-
oem or cellar for the ancient occupant.
The other small rooms may have been
bod-rooms. A groove eighteen inches
deep by fifteen in width , extending from
io iloor of the main room up ono side of
ho shaft to the surface of the hill its
iottom filled with nshes and its sides
lackonod by smoke form the lire-place
ind chimney of the establishment.
Around the mouth of 4ho shaft a stone
, vall was found , forming by its inclosuroa
kind of dooryard to the dwelling below.
The wall doubtless served the double
purpose of guarding against snow slides ,
which might otherwise fill up the rooms
and bury the occupants , and against the
accidental fall of an inhabitant into his
own or his neighbor's dwelling , upsetting
the dinner pot , and possibly breaking his
nock in the operation. Considerable debris -
bris was found in these ancientdwellings ,
nn examination of which led to the dis'
covory of curios , illustrating some of the
social and domestic customs of the ex
tinct raco. Stone mauls and axes , implements
monts used in excavating the dwellings ,
pottery bearing a great variety of orna
mentation , bone nwls and noodles of deli
cate workmanship , the motate or "family
grinding stone for grain , its well worn
surface indicating long use , shell and ob
sidian ornaments , implements of wood ,
the uses of which wore undiscoverable ,
were amnng the trophies of the explora
tion. Search was made for a water
course , or spring , but no appearance of
the existence of water in the neigh
borhood during recent centuries was
discovered. There were signs of
intor-communicntion between this village
and a cliff city some fifteen miles distant ,
and also a now discovery , which indi
cates the contemporaneous inhabitancy
of the two. This city , or rather cluster
of villages , occupied the sites 01 a canyon
which has recently been christened Wal
nut canyon. It is an immense fissure in
tlio earth , with nothing above the gen
eral level of the country to indicate its
existence to the traveler until ho stands
upon the side of its almost precipitous
brink. The Bides have boon Bullied by
storms and torrents , leaving shallow
cave-like places of great length at differ
ent heights , along the bottoms of which ,
wherever the lodge furuished sufficient
area , dwellings in groups or singly wore
built. The season tvns well advanced
when thn place was reached , end only
little time was spout in its exploration.
All the ancient methods of approach had
boon long before * worn away , and access
to tlio nearest of the groups of houses
was a work of difficulty.
The group or village which was most
narrowly examined was about three-
quarters of n mile in length , and consist
ed of a single row of houses , the com
mon roar wall being the living rock ,
while the sides and fronts were made of
largo squared stones laid in clay. A narrow
street or pathway extended along the
entire front. Other nnd similar villages
could bo Been along the canyon for a dis
tance of five milos.
Among the relics found there was a
wooden spindle whirl similar to those in
use by the Pu'eblons of the present time ,
but unlike them in the apparent manner
of its manufacture. Nothing indicating
thn use of metallic tools of any descrip
tion was discovered. The surface of the
wcod of which the whirl was formed had
apparently been charred and then ground
down to tne required aiza and shape by
rubbing it upon sandstone. A shaft of
reed similar to bamboo , a species on-
tircly unknown in that region at this time ,
still remained in the whirl ,
It had been broken by the ancient
workman aud neatly mended by winding
about it a piece of line twinu. The ends
of this twine being examined under the
microscope disclosed the fact that iU fiber
was very line humiin . hair. Articles of
wood corncobs , and even the perfect
grains of corn , walnuts , bonea of elk ,
antelope , and wolf , portions of wearing
apparel of a fabric resembling tlio mum
my doth. of Egypt , but madu from mate
rial unfamiliar to the explorers , and
other perishable articles were found in
abundance , buried iu the piles of debris ,
which partially filled these deserted
homes , nnd would at first thought seem
to indicato'Eomowhat recant inhabitancy.
On the other hand , however , the pre
servative qualitiep of the ntinoaphoro of
thin region are remarkable , and it is the
belief of the explorers that centuries
hnvo elapsed since the last of the departed
races occupied those old cities and villages
as houaoi.
The absence of weapons of war , of
works of defense , other than such ai nro
constituted by the selection of almost in
accessible localities , of temples or idols ,
of hieroglyphics or pictures , together
with the durability nnd solidity of the
dwellings , so different from anything to
bo found of the handiwork of existing
civilized races of that region , and the
wide extent of thcso ruins indicating the
existence of allied races covering largo
portions of the present territories of
Arizona , New Mexico , and Utah , as well
ns northern Mexico , ara the elements of
the problems involved in the origin ,
history , and disappearance of tlioso races
problems which seem no nearer solution
than whonCoronadonearly four hundred
years ago , made n rnid for the purpose of
conquest among those places nnd , through
his priests , gnvo to the world the first
meager accounts of thorn then , as now ,
vacant and ruined.

The post office should avail itself of all
the great inventions which facilitate
epistolary intercourse. There is no more
reason that it should confine itself to rail-
roads when it can use the telegraph , than
that it should have clung to stage
coaches and horses and canal-boat * when
it could avail itself of the railroads and
steamers. When , whore and how the
telegraph should bo tiaod for postal com *
inunicntion is a question of expediency
and detail ; but it is not necessary to
abstain from it altogether until it can bo
introduced everywhere.

I wns in the D.tlles of the Columbia in
command of the military post in the
spring of 1853 ( before there was an im

small tribes of Indians in that vicinity ,

railed upon mo , with nn interpreter , to

been killed for that reason , and it was
done by the relatives ot the deceased. I
told them to return at a designated day ,
about a week later , bringing as auditors
all those they wished to bo present , and
1 would give them in a formal council
a regular talk on the subject.
They ct.mo 'with many followers , bring
ing again William Chimookas interpreter
and the council , ono of their own seeking ,
was conducted , as is the wont of the red
race , with gravity and deliberation. I
dwelt upon the virtues of the medical
profession. I told them that our surgeons
and physicians properly received from the
whites the utmost consideration and
gratitude. It was the fate of all to die ,
and that to expect that always the doctor
could cure , would bo to make him omni
potent , to give him tlio powers of the
Deity. Ho could allay the pains and
comfort and assuage the ailments of the
unfortunate patient , if not able in all
cases to tcstoro him to health. I then
dwelt upon the sin and criuio of private
revenge nnd totaliation. If n murder wns
committed , the punishment should bo
administered , not by the kindred of the
murdered man , but in the name of the
law , under the authority of the whole
tribe , after careful sifting and weighing
of the evidence of guilt , nnd of evil and
malicious intent. To permit the punish
ment of the accused to bo administered
without investigation by a brother or senor
or fathoi of the person killed oilly leads
to indiscriminate slaughter nnd the deve
lopment of evil pasa'ons. If they wished
to check this unfortunates custom of kill
ing doctors , they must first make known
this new law , nnd afterward arrest the
next oltcnder , and after careful trial and
assured evidence and conviction of his
guilt , ho should bo sentenced to bp hung.
To punish the criminal by shooting him
with a rifle would not bo sufficient. To
prevent , mark , and stigmati/o the crime
wo did not shoot the murderer , but ,
putting a rope around hia neck , we had
the criminal suspended from a tree or
Bcaflold until ho was dead. All this
was said to them slowly , in plain words ,
and in brief sentences , giving the inter
preter a fair chance to convoy my mean
ing The sequel was as follows : About three
months afterward , in midsummer , the
small pox made its appearance in one of
the tribes , viz. , the Wishrams. Among
this tribe was a celebrated medicine-man
of great pretensions. Ho devoted him
self to the sick. Though all the Indians
on ono side of the river had been vaccin
ated ( and thus cscaj ed ) , that band flnfor-
tanately had not been vaccinated , and
thus the pestilence raged among them
and destroyed a largo portion of the
tribe. As the doctor had boon always
boastful of his wonderful powers as a
physician , the indignant tribe resolved on
his death.
There were no trees on that side of the
Columbia. Tying his hands and foot ,
they put a rope around his neck , and at
taching the ether end to tjio pommel of
saddle , they started the horse , and hung
him in this shocking manner.
That is as much as they learned by all
the preaching I If ho was only hung it
would bo law , it would bo all right , it
would bo the white man's justice ! If a
rope was put around his neck and his life
thus taken , then it would make the kill
ing justifiable ! Wo had inculcated a way
of restraining and preventing their long-
cherished habit of killing an unsuccess
ful doctor , and this was the denouement !
The next time they wanted to kill another
doctor , instead of a rifle , they used a
rope , and then it became an orthodox and
Judicial proceeding.
The old doctor who was 'hung for his
bad luck , and his bravo , unflinching de
votion to his duties ( for there was no
charge of neglect ) , may bo accounted a
martyr to his profession. His descend
ants may still adore his memory. And if
they deal in lie raid ry would doubtless put
the rope on his escutcheon , and glory in
his fato.

A few evenings ago , at the Oldtown
roller skating rink a gentloroau invited a
young lady to skate with him. As it
turned out she had uovor before bad the
rollers on , and aho fell to the floor about
as fast as her escort could assist her to
riso. He finally began to think sbo could
not stand , oven if she tlid not have skates
on. The prcspiration stood on his brow
in drops as large as walnuts , when ho
finally mustered up courage to say :
"You had bettor bo '
seated : don't you
fool tired ? "
Much to the young man's surprise she
answered in the sweetest of tones :
"Oh , no , 1 could skate all night with
out feeling tired with you , "
Like a iiuu tyr the young man picked
her up something like a hundred times
inoru , and then ho calmly led her to a
Beat and blandly said :
"You must bo tired , " and bowing ,
politely left her ,
The young lady looked after him in
blank amazement.
