Ransom, although less tbnn twenty years of age, had already made his mark in his country's history. lie, in company with other*, reached the scone of tho I famous Wyoming massacre of July, 17T8, 1 shortly after the'Indians had withdrawn.— Among the dead and mangled, one of the first forniR that he discovered was that of hi* be. loved father, who had commanded a company in battle, and whose name is esgrared on the celebrated Wyoming motauineot. Young Ransom jointd Sullivan's army, was in the battle of Newton, and on the occasion of which ws speak, was absent on furlough.— Tho three young.men were cordially received by the young ladies—as is generally itie ease on similar occasions—and all was proceeding as merrily as several marriage bells, when three thundering knock* startled them all.— Young Ransom knew immediately the meaning of litis. By some ineaus the enemy had gained knowledge of bis whereabouts, and had come to take him and his friends prisoners.— They instantly looked rotyid for some way to escape but on going to tho windows, they found th'em guarded, and before they could hit on any expedient, the door was burst open and a band of Tories and Indians swarmed in. The whole party were made prisoners and immediately hurried up the side of the mountain, the captors apprehending an attempt at rescue from the fort at Wilkes-Barre, which was but a short distance away. Before the arrangements for the night were concluded, tho young ladies were released and shortly after all three came safely into the fort Here the alarm gun was instantly fired but the only good itaccomplished was to apprise young Ransom and his friends that the girls were with their friends. Before the party lay down for the night, oho of tho Tories told Ransom, in • most emphatic manner, that if one of the prisoners should effect his escape, the others should most certainly be put to death. In the middle of the night, when all but himself were asleep. Ransom succeeded in unloosing his bonds, and could have darted away in the bushes without the possibility of re-capture.. But he had no reason to doubt that his escape would be fatal to his companions, and he, therefore, re-tied his things, resolved to share the fate of bis companions, in captivity. The next morning was bitterly cold and tempestuous, and the prisoners were nearly starved- But. they were loaded down with packs, nnd -compelled to plod onward until Tioga Point was reached when «n- old horse was slaughtered, and they fared sumptuously SO long M It lasted. The destination was Niagara, the head-quarters of the leading Indian tribes.

They, finally, discovered one but it was so faithfully guarded by two ferocious that they wero unable to appropriate it. Passing on, they cauie upon two little bark canoes, which Lltey speodily confiscated, and mudo their way to the oilier shorts. They now directed Jheir coufse toward the head of Lake Champlaio. Their bread was soaked and spoiled bat they had managed to secure thoir meat and salt. On this the three men Jived for seveM days; concealing themselves during the daytime and traveling - Tor over a week, their way led them through on immense swamp, during which tima they wore compel*" ed to drink water as filthy as It is possible to imagine, and live upon snakes and frogs.— They, finally, became so weakened and worn dowrt, that tfne ct their ntlmbcr gave out entirely, and insisted on- lying down to die.*— The pthera told him if he did thoy would slice up his body and cat it. This, dreadful; threat spurred him onwanl, but he, finally, became feverish, tind manifestly coiuld go no further. Most fortunately, at this jtrnctore, they reached a spring of ptire, ice-cold water. The sick tnan took a long draught ancl lay dowrt beside It. Finding it impossible to arouse him, the others gathered a pile el jygQd, caught a quantity of frogs qnd ®q4. building a booth over him, bade him farewell.Ransom and his Companion, by this time, wore nearly used up, and they advanced with faltering steps. On the fourteenth day t!;ey discovered two old horses, which, at first thought, they decided to kill for their beef; but a few minutes consultation dec filled .them to mount and give them free rein, allowing them to go where they pleased, in the belief' that they would convey them to some liurhari habitation. The disposition of the animals at first, was emphatically against going at all; but this was overcome in the usual manner,: and, to their delight, they speediily fetched up at the residence of a genial-hearted, old lady who took tbem in, fed them very sparingly at first, and, after several days, sefct them on their way, like giants refreshed with new dancing-roaster, and the mother, still trying to koep within the glittering circle by every art, cqasci color to ber cheek and the wrinkle#, from her brow, attempting til the arts of the belle wkhout success—an old flirt, • mfobutterfly without any wings, The first time that you find one of the faithful attendants *t the ball-room suddenly engaged Jfefcpff* duties, let me know.
