Ho was a boy of fifteen, nmiiud Joseph Brown, and bin story is a remarkable instance of long-studied vengeance in one so young; but spaee will allow me to refer to only two incidents, says a writer, speaking of the war bo-tween the early settlors of Tennessee and the Indians. His father had boon awarded some lands in the vicinity of Nashville, for services in the revolution, and in 1788 ho set out, with his family, to settle upon them.

Within a few miles of Chattanooga his boat was suddenly surrounded by about forty Indian canoes, and in a few moments his headless body lay at the bottom of the Tennessee. His two oldest sons and four other young men were at once murdered, and his wife aud four younger children made prisoners Joseph's captor was a young half-breed bravo named Chia-ehat-alla, who spared his life that he, might bo the slave of his mother, a degraded French woman who had been brought up and married among tho Chiekamaugas. He took Joseph to her cabin, and then returned to the boat to secure his share of the plunder. Ho had scarcely gone when there appeared at the door of the cabin Cutteatoy, the head chief of the small town of. Tuskogoe, opposite Chattanooga, with a dozen of his warriors, demanding the boy from the French woman.

He said the hid was old enough to notice every thing, and if allowed to live would escape and some day pilot thero an army to destroy them all. The boy could not understand his words, but he did his actions. A dozen knives and tomahawks gleamed above him, but they did not fall, for tho woman sprang before the boy, declaring now that he should not be murdered, and saved his life. For more than a year the boy was a prisoner among the Chiekamaugas, enduring all sorts of hardships, but meanwhile discovering all their hiding places iu tho mountains. Then he was liberated by John Sevier and returned, to his friends in South Carolina.

Now tho youth thought himself old enough to take a part in the bloody drama that was being enacted everywhere about him. Ho repaired to James Robertson, who had military command of the Nashville district, and told him that lie knew the secret fastnesses of the river and could pilot an army to their rear which might destroy them, lloboj-tson heard him gladly, but shook his head, saying that he could do nothing. The orders of tho Government were imperative that both ho and Sevier should act strietlj on tho defensive, ami under no circum stances again invade the Cherokee country. Spain held Louisiana anil tlio mouths of tho Mississippi, and was in alliance with tho Crooks and Choro-kcos. An attack upon them would provoke a collision with her, and that the infant republic was not prepared tor.

wlnlo all tho wisdom and prudence of Washington wcro required to avoid another war with Great Britain. So for two years Sevier and Robertson held their hands, while death lurked 'nssido every man's dwelling. Tho farmer could not fell a two, gather crop, or sit in his doorway without a loaded rillo besido him. In a population of 7.010 In tho Nashvillo district tho killod woro from sixty to Koventy yearly. At last, whon some of tho first men in tho district hail fallen, the Nashvillo peoplo roso, enrolled ami demanded to bo lod against tho Cliiokaiuaugas.

Tlum UoborUon gavo way, and sending for yoiinj Brown asked him to Had ft routo for nn army through tho woods to loo-jack. It was nioro than a hundred miles, through a trackless forest whero nover white man had boon, and behind every tree might lurk a Chlokaniiuiga; but with two or threo companions tho young man went and returned In safe ty.

Mr. J. L. PapcB, whose contract to publish the paper ex pires with this issue, has devoted his time and talent exclusively und incessantly to ward making it self-sustaining, receiving the entire receipts of the office for his services. The showing does not justify the present proprietor in continuing its publication.

The business men and people of Jerome and surrounding country have been liberally disposed and the trouble seems to bo there are not enough of them to support a paper properly without imposing too great a burden upon them. To those who have aided us in good will aDd otherwise we feel grateful, and regret very much indeed that a sense of justice to ourselves and those depend ent upon impel us to seok a new location. We are happy in this connection to an nounce that the leadim; business men of Jerome contemplute in the near future giv ing the town a paper that will fill the bill better than wo could do. W. P.

Evans. Good Bye. It is with feelings of regret that we say good bye to the people of Jerome, after sojourning with them for more than a year. It is also with regret that wo leave you without a paper, a state of affairs wo hope will not continue long. The people of Jerome deserve a better fate.

a The Most Remunerative Fowls That Can Be Ka'seti on the FnrnL Very few seem to know that, whore the location is suitable, geese can bo made as profitable as any fowl wo have. Their feathers are a regulai source of revenue, and th surphu birds find a ready market at retnuneru. tive prices at certain seasons of tha year, and are becoming as popular for the Christmas roast as the turkey is fur Thanksgiving dinner. The pure breeds sell readily at fancy prices, consume less grain and require less expensive buildings than any other fowl. Breeding geese should be kept rather thin in llesh.

They require little fed in the spring. Toulouse goslings can raised wunoui a mouier, ana at four weeks old may be turned into a. tield without further housing or shelter. Once started, a gosling is tho easiest of all young birds to raise and never unhealthy. A pair of Jum-ouse geese will turn oil' two dollars' worth of feathers in a year, which more than balances their feed.

The goose will lay thirty eggs; from these at least ten goslings should be raised, which will weigh twenty pounds apiece by Christmas. We have had them, weigh more. The market price will range from five to ten cents per pound, thus giving the goose farmer a handsome profit, to say nothing of eggs and breeders that may be sold at fancy prices. Mrs. W.
