Black and Grcwu Tea# nUo on As sataucl ]?owditch, one of the early settlers on Grand river, in Kentucky, Was going across a patch of swamp one afternoon, about half a mile from his dwelling, to look after some cattle, ho heard a stick snap behind him, and turning round found himself confronted with a huge savage, in all the hidcousness of his war paint, and with rifle leveled at his head, the muzzle not more than four feet from him. Lowditch himself had a rifle in his hand, but he knew the Indian could shoot him .before he could raise it and fire, and he did not make the attempt, but immediately dropped it to the ground and held up his palms in token of submission. On seeing this, the savage walked up and said : One unruly animal will teach all others fri its company bad tricks. ■noy.al Xi'ov, MUlTJtVMAKUrc.—Mrs. 8. J.

With a loud jell of mingled joy and defiance away ho went over the hill, and with a louder yell of rage at his unexpected escape, the fierce savage came bounding after him. Bowditch knew every inch of ground in that vicinity, and he had already regained sufficient presence of mind to shape his course so as to take advantage of all the chances in his favor. The hill about the summit was asucccssion of rocks and bushes, with eaves, chasms and precipices, and over, through, and along these natural obstructions tho fugitivo believed he could make his way with any man living, either white or red, and so took the most troublesome route for bis larger and more unwieldly pursuer, resolved, should he by chance find the latter Raining on him to doublo on him at a oertiin cavo not more than half a mile distant, where he could enter, by following one of tho labyriuthian passages within, and could come out on the same side into a thicket not more than fifty feet from the main opening. Looking back occasionally, as he fled along his rocky way with tho case of a mountain goat, Bowditch soon discovered that however superior to hiui his adversary be in mere physical strength, he was for him in speed no match in that particular locality; and this not only inspired him with the hope of escape, but with such confidence in his own resources, that he began to calculate in turn how be best might compass the destruction of his foe.

Having come to this determination, Bowditch slackened his speed till his pursuer was in full view, when ho pretended to stumble and fall, and then got up and ran with a limp, which caused tho savage to yell with a fierce delight and redoubled his exertions to ovcrtako him. This was exactly what he intended to bring about, and he now managed his pace with so much deception that though seeming to exert himself to tbc utmost, he permitted the panting savage to gain a (little every minute, till the mouth of the cayc was readied, at which time not more Than a hundred paces divided them.
