We have tale to tell, which will make every


man who is proprietor of good head of hair,
| feel the same rising on end. The story is un-
ldoubtedy true-for it was conveyed in letter
from an officer of the United States Army, to a
gentleman of another service One of the troops
a subordinate officer, went to Florida from New
Orleans. While in that city, perhaps from ieyer,
he had the misfortune to lose all his hair, and was
obliged to possess himself of wig. In an en-
gagement with the Seminoles, he was wounded
and fell to the ground, where he lay without the
power to rise. The red enemy who wounded
him came up for his scalp. The officer feigned
himself dead, and breathed as low and softly as
possible The Indian bent over him, drew his
knife, passed it fearfully and quickly around the
head OF his victim; and then with 'whoop!
bounded with his bloodless trophy into an ever
glade.


1t came to pass, that the scalped and wounded
officer got safe back to camp, looking somewhat
like the Prophein Scripture, when the boys mock
ed HIM, and the bears ate THEM. He still survives
to rehearse the narrative with infinite glee, and to
wish the Indian Joy of his spoil.
