"THE RENTING: PLACES. The Climax of the Season at the Rural Resorts, PLEASURES OF NARRAGANSETT PIER The Summer Delights of Western New York. BUBBLES FROM NIAGARA. FROLIC AT NARRAGANSETT, How the Belles and Beaux at Narragan- sett Pier Amuse Themselves—Private nd Martha aniza- tion of a Ladies’ Kissing Association. Minstrel Periormance: Washington T Pa: NARRAGANSETT PIER, August 23, 1874, Narragansett Pieris a quiet, unpretentious, g00d, common sense summer resort, There are many peopie of wealth and fashion here, but they do not come for the purpose of airing their fine clothes and sporting their diamonds, They come simply to enjoy the fine bathing on a beach which ts un- surpassed in this country, to bréathe the pure, invigorating sea air, to fish and to drivé, and to amuse themselves generally in @ healthful and The ladies here, although many of them belong to what is called the créme de la cr2me of New York, Philadelphia and Boston Society, do not change their dresses three times a innocnous manner, day, as they do at Saratoga, and’the gentlemen have no Morrissey’s gambling house to go to, The guests affect iced water more than champagne, and seem to prefer Bass’ ale to whiskey cocktails, They come from a}! parts of the country. Just now there are an unusually large number of St. Louisians here. Mr. Adolfus Meier, the most prominent German of St. Louis—which is the paradise of Germans in this country—is stop- ping with his family at the Mount Hope Hotel. At the: same house are Mrs, and Miss Reynoids, of Indianapolis, the latter being a piquant brunette, and one of the most admired young ladies at the Pier; Mr. Arthur C. Barrett, of St. Louis, who has been mentioned by poilttcal quidnuncs. and prophets as probably the next Governor of Mis- sourl, and his highly accomplished wife; Colonel Pride, of New York, said to be the pride of lucky Wall street operators, whose lady ts ONE OF THE BEST VOCAL AMATEURS ia the metropolis; Mrs. Barbour, of Hartford, Conn., with two charming daughters; Mr. Hoey, of New York, whose famous black mustache is as attractive to the ladies as ever; Mr. and Mrs. Brown, Mrs, Skidmore, who ts a famed beauty, and others well known in society. Governor War- moth, of Louisiana, is also one of the guests at tbe Pier, and has shown that he un- derstands flirting almost as well as he does poll- tics. Bishop Clark, of Rhode Island, 1s the leading spiritual light at the Pier and plunges every morning into the sea. One of the most en- thusiastic and stanch Dathers is the Hon. Dorman B. Eaton, of New York. Neither wind nor rain can deter nim from plashing in the ocean hall an hour every morning. Mr. Eaton is not only a scholarly and projound jurist, but ne 1s also an ex- cellent teacher of swimming, and the two ladies whom te aiways chaperons in ‘the water seem to make very good progress. Mr. Eaton is hard at work, having been engaged by the new Commis- sion of the government of the District of Columbia to prepare & new code of statutes for that misgov- erned district, This isa very important work, as Mr. Eaton intends to frame the new laws 80 as to make Shepherds for the tuture impossible. “MUSIC HATH CHARMS.’ The musical colony 1s also well represented here. Mrs, Guilagher, the well known soprano of New York, sings every evening to a large number of friends, and Mr. Pease, the noted pianist, plays to overflowing houses. Neither of these artists charge any admission, so that even the chamber- maids are allowed to come to the door and listen to the mellifuous strains of “Mignon” and “Semt- ramide.” On Saturday afternoon Mr. Pease dined with a iriend at the Mount Hope Hotel, and after dunner he was asked to play. The impromptu concert effected a violent revolution in this quiet house, ‘The band, wno play every airernoon and evening stopped all of a sudden and the very waiters and barbers thronged to the door of the parlor to hear the music, After the concert the pianist’s health was drank in several bottles of champagne, and he was asked to compose a “Nar- ragansett Pier Waltz,” which he faithfully prom- ised to do. Mr. Bartiett, of New York, a member of @ prominent. church choir, whose sonorous voiceused to be heard every day the same hotel, has already left and Hon. Car! Schurz, who plays althost as well’ as he speaks, and was here with his tamily for a long time, has returned to sweltering St. Louis, The Schurz family were a valued addition to the musica circte, both Mrs. and Miss Schurz being accomplished ptanists. ‘They were exceedingly popular. HOW THE TIME 13 PASSED. ‘The amusements at the Pier are many and varied. There is, in the first place, fishing for those who are fond of the sport. Parties ot jour or six gentlemen are made up every day, who sail down the bay to catch bluetish, ‘and are gen- erally successful. The ladies of the /angiers generally accompany them on these joliy excur- sions, Then there are a number ot favorite drives, the surrounding country being extremely beauti- fal. Two or three miles distant is the ‘Tower Hill Hotel, a description of which was recently given im the columns of the HERALD. Parties of ladies and gentlemen, who make the country through which they aeive Hinaswwesti their gleeinl shouts and songs, go otel every alternoon, an return alter a Soup dimmer and @ plentiful flow of Bass’ ale. A couple of weeks ago a ‘ladies’ clam bake”? was got up, but one of the ladies being un- . fortunately drowned, a temporarytgioom was cast over the company, and it was indefinitely post- ned. Pon Wednesday evening tnere was a Martha Washington tea party. The ladies, in their pear caps and powdered hatr, looked remarkably well, and it was generally noticed how exceedingly be- coming the quaint costume was. One ofthe young ladies, who turnished claret punch and lemonade to thirsty mortals, persona Rebecca at the well, although simple, untutored Rebecca, in her eandal shoes, would scarcely have recognized the likeness in coignon, French high heel boots, pow- dered hair and bustle of her modern prototype. It was a delightfui entertainment. and the pro- ceeds are to be employed tor the benefit of a church whose final itatus is rather precarious. THE SUNSET AT THE ROCKS, One of the most picturesque spots in the neigh- Dorhood is the “rocks,” .which ure about tea or fifteen minutes’ walk from the Mount Hope Hotel. The rocgs jut far the surf dashing ‘wildly ean them solving ito a» milion Loving couples take @ im the evening between five and six o'clock, sit there until twilight, listening to the roar of the combing and surging waves. and enjoying the glory of the sunset. metimes. many as filty galls speck the blue distance, which aads to the charin of the tranquil) scene. Young ladies sit there alone reading a novel or@ poem, and one or two artists generally station themselves on one of the ledges to make sketches.

On Saturday night, after dancing (which gén- erally lasts tll eleven o'clock), the ladies of tue Mount Hope Hotel hit upon a funny lite game. At will serve as a specimen of the various droll dl- versions with whic! the quests try to pass the time Pleasantly. ‘shey all sssembied in a little parior, excluding strictly all the gentlemen, who were aot @ little curtous a8 to what was going on in this cret couclavi., At last the door was opened and one of the fair conspirators beckoned the HERALD correspondent ot enter, a) secret chamber.

And now tne ran began.

Several of the ladies heid his bands down 80 that he might not be able to feel the kisser’s face, and the correspondent stepped forth, touching bis face gently with a lace shawl which had been thrown round bis neck. This was to strengthen the delusion, and the correspondent then imprinted three solt, tender—and certainly chaste—kiesea on the victim’s lips.

A number 0! articles, a key, hats, umbrellas, &c. were piaced on the table, and it was underst that when A plgtin came in and picked up the key all the ladies would give a piercing shriek in order to startle him. Now, one woman alone is generally capable of shrieking quite loud enougn to startle any man, but on this occasion there were thirty ladies giving a harmoniously dis- cordant shriek, and the effect was indeed over- powering. As the men came in they were told that they must pick up the articles on the taole, but that there was one of taem which would give them an electric snock. As shey touched the key all the ladies shrieked, and the landlord, Mr, Caswell, came rusuing in to see if the roof of the house had perhaps tumbled down, Everypody went laughing to bed. A MINSTREL PERFORMANCE. Previous to these games the men had given an amateur minstrel performance. It was funny to see dignified and wealthy bankers dressed up like minstrels and singing choice pieces like this:— ‘There was a farmer who had four sons, And these tour sons were brothers, e of one, Now these four boys had suits of clothes Made to wear on Sundays: Joxeptas wore his every day, Bohunkas his on Mondays. Now these four boys to the theatre went Whenever they saw fit: Sosephas in the kallery sat, Bohunkas in the pit. ‘Now these four boys they had a mule, And he was wondrous kind; Jogephas he rode up before, Bohunkas up behind. Now these four boystheir story told, And they did tell it well; Josephas he to heaven went, Bohunkas he to—Sing Sing. Now these four boys are dead and gone, Long may their ashes rest; Josephas of the cholera died, Bohunkas by request. Shouts of laughter drowned the last line of this comical song. Berore I close I must mention the extraordinary fact that there are here more rosy- cheeked women tnan I have ever seen belore at a place of summer resort. The pallor of a winter’s dissipation in New York is soon banishea by the magnificent air of Narragansett Pier. WESTERN NEW YO! ssa NL Ore al Attractions of Buffalo as a Watering Place—Besuties of Lake Chautauqua— The Mlusion of Angling—A Miniature Holy Land. BUFFALO, August 19, 1874. To the average New Yorker the compound word “watering-place’”’ summons up visions of Niagara, Newport, Saratoga, Lake George, Long Branch, Mahopac, Isies of Shoals, and perhaps a few other favored spots. But he is utterly ignorant of the existence elsewhere of & vast multitude of delignht- ful places of resort, quite out of their orbit, but which are still hberaliy patronized by crowds of intelligent beings who actually manage to live and move and have their being quite outside of the charmed circle of metropolitan life. The great States of the West have their Saratogas as well as the Empire State. Ido not allude to such noted spots as the Hot Springs of Arkansas or the nu- merous resorts among the mountains of Virginia, or even the distant wonders of Colorado; but to charming and delightful places scatterea hither and thither, all accessible to New York by rail, all possessing advantages of their own, and all, save with perhaps two or three exceptions, offering those advantages to the public at rates which only serve to throw into bolder relier the wilful and unpardonable extrava- gance of our more pretentious and, it must be confessed, more splendid and dazzling resorts. To some of these spots it is,proposed in these let- ters to introduce the readers of this paper. AN UNEXPECTED CLADMANT. It may not be generally known that the city of Buffalo claims to be one of these resorts. Yet such ts the fact. The papers of that fourishing town have been this season vociferously announcing to the public tnat Buffalo is, after all, far more at- tractive than Long Branch or Saratoga. Their first point is the climate, which certainly is de- ligntfally salabrious, The proximity of Lake Erie ingures a certain degree of coolness, and even the hottest days are followed by endurable nights. The hoteis are, however, only average city inns, and in noisy and prominent streets. What Buffalo im- peratively needs before it can justly claim to be a place of summer resort is @ large hotel, erected somewhere on the shore of the lake and away from the bustle of the city. There are plenty of such sites. One of them, at the mouth of the Ni- agara River, 1s occupied by barracks and by the Tather picturesque ruins of a decaying fort. THB PATRIOTISM OF BUFFALONIANS is something incredible. They honestly think that their city is one of the most delightful and enjoy- able in the whole world. They expect the visttor to do the same, and ag they drive nim through Delaware street and Niagara street and the upper end of Main street they proudly point out the beautiful dwellings, each im its own garden and separate inclosure, and ask where they can be excelled? The splendid: establishment of Mr. Bush, which a few nights ago, on the occasion of @ “horse-feed,” given to some 500 guests, was a scene from fairy land, with its illuminations, its music, its champagne, its banquets and its ex- quisite beauty of verdure and foliage, is one of their pet places. Grander even than this is the costly mansion of Mr. Fargo, whose superb dwelling, built in the [talian style, could scarcely have cost less than the Filth avenue home of Mr. Stewart. It looks like one of those fancifal Itall a 8 Which scenic artiste are so fond of pain’ , and which usually exceed in dimensions and in elavorateness of detail any of which Italy can really boast, The minor dwellings in these “swell” streets of Buffalo are, however, all more or less tasty and beautiful. Indeed, the little one-story residences, which elsewhere would seem but shanties, are here fitted up with such taste and elegance, are 80 skilfully set amid flowers and shrubbery, have such neat fronts, such handsome entrances and such glittering door-plates that they are by no means unfit companions for the more stately structures near them. A GREAT CONTRAST to these streets of quiet, refined homes isj the lower part of Main street, with its old business houses and with its rows of tottering stores look- ing Out upon the harbor. The lake steamers—big, strong, clumsy craft, as anlike a8 possible to tho graceral foarte, laces which ply upon the Hud- son—have their landing here, Just beyond 184 Vast region Of foundries and machine shops, where the grimy dust of the hardest kind of labor lies over everything. Space ts evidently not as valoabie here as in ork. In this tron district the streets are wide and gaping. and there are here aud there vast empty plazas, on whica dirty chil- dren disport themselves, playing with oud scraps of metal and makiog miniature ioundries on the side- waiks, And near this region are the elevators. There they stand tn grim contusion, like the dis- tortions of some hideous nightmare, seeming to those who do not contemplate their uses and their uniailing indications of business prosperity, like UXOOUTH, DEFORMED GLANTS, &$ they tower up and loom over, brown, gloomy, and apparently in utter deflance of all rules of arehi- tecture and laws of gravity. What a contrast they present to the e isite grace of Upjonn’s noble work, St. Paul’s Cathedral, about half a mile distant, a building following the best types of Gothic symmetry and clothed wit bishop’s throue, with @ earved mitre above it and & pastoral stadt by Its side; and here Bishop Coxe can sit enthroned tn state whenever he c with as much oak as any Seton niaae or medisval times or as the Pope of Rome himself. , The patriotic Buffalonian will insist on your his park. To be sure be will confess that it is Not much of @ park yet, but then It is only two old, And @ most promising park it certainly iy with 9 greater variety in ands than ‘would be looked for in this flat country.

Lady Sudolk and Fashion were thought to be great in their day, but would be considered slow coaches now, and probably.a lew years hence the iprens exploit of Goldsmith Maid will be looked upon as very fatr—that is, for the dull, plod- ding old times of 1574, Thus it will be seen that Buffalo, as a place of resort, offers fine bracing air, a promising park, & Tace track which gives larger premiums than any im the country, and has just been rendered illus- trious as the scene of the greatest horse explolt from the days of Bucephalus down, and plenty of good company among its cuitured and hospitable Citizens. To all these advantages should be added several good theatres, where ai) the highest stars of the day may be seen in turn, plenty ol churches and the New York papers twenty-lour hours old, Buffalo, too, has its own admirable local papers— five dailies in the Engush and four in the German language. Moreover, the proximity to the cataract ot Niagara fa to be taken into account, for the Fails may be reached in Little over an hour from Main street. Presuming, however, that the tourist can Tesist the fascinations of Buifalo, he certainly will guccomb to those o!

With aspiritof inquiry I tackled a communicative native and asked him some particulars. “How long is Lage Chawtawkwa, eb?” said ne, “Well, I’ve been a buzzin’ around here for twenty years, and as long as I’ve Knowed If, it’s been just twenty-two miles long.

I simply said ‘New York,” “You're from New York, are you? And you're a vuzzin’ around here, are you? And it’sa good place to buzz, too? Maybe you've come up on pur- pose to see the lake ¢”” “Not exactly,” I replied. “But, by the way, are there any fish here ?”” “Fisu!? he simply ejaculated, with an expres- sion of ineffable contempt—or a look of unutiera- ble scorn that was almost demontac. He was evi- dently so disgusted at the question as implying some remote pussibility of doubt on the subject that I hastened to add some molilitying remark. “Meboe you don’t like to catch pickerel #” he re- plied with withering frony. ‘“Mebbe you don’t like to catch bass? Mebbe you don’t like.to catch peth Green’s big dog fish? Then you'd better not be buzzin’ around here in a boat troiling with spoon.’ He stepped aside as if his feelings had been wounded; as who shonld gay “This ignorant and obtrusive stranger is deyoid of even the elemen- tary rudiments of the most obvious facts connected with the piscatory world.” But by turned and resumed the subject, ish! well, should rather think 80. Go ont with’a spoon'and ou can catch ’em by the barrel—if you're lucky. metimes,”? he added significantly, “: catch ’em best with a dollar bill.” Altogether, despite the native’s enthusiasm, it may be imferred that fisu- ing is here, as everywhere else in civilized lands, a very illusive and doubtful sport. THE HOLY LAND IN MINIATURE, At Pair Point, on this lake, & numoer of friends of the Sunday school cause recently held a con- vention on the old camp meeting grounds. They built a sort of imitation of the Holy Land on the scale of two feet to the mile, the gorge of the Red Sea being represented by a deep, wide ditch, Mount Hermon by & mound ten feet bigh, the aum- mit covered with whitewash, to represent snow, and Jerusalem and the other cities by groups of little plaster houses like toys. The lake itgel{— Lake Chautauqua—served to Lett the Medi- terranean, and along ita shores were tiny ilustrations — of re, Sidon and other cities, Jerusalem, Nazareth, Bethiehem, Nain, Samaria—all the familiar places mentioned in the Gospel wore to be found in their proper localtties. Like Moses of old [ climbed Mount Pisgah, and, at an elevation of fully four feet, obtained a thorough and satisiying view of this miniature Promised Land, The Methodist clergyman who devised this interesting work 1s quite @ universal genius. He has invented and patented a machine which records the exact time made by railroad trains; tells where, when and how long they stop, an serves all the purposes of @ most intelligens and meorruptuble “spotter.” He has also, by the in- genious use of @ prism, contrived an apparatus which will infallibly show the diatance, between two traing ranning on the same track, thus aiding to prevent collision. Besides all this he 1s & pele and mathematician, and is said to be a: excelient preacher and pastor. { RETURNING TO OUR MUTTONS. s But to return to Chautauqua Lake as a water- ing place. Lake View is a favorite. stopping point. The hote: 1s quite near tue wharf, and is an attractive house. While the lake offers the ugual facilities for boating and fishing there aro pleasant strolls on land among the woods, miles distent are the Panama Rocks, & confused mass of conglomerate stone, broken into the wildest shapes and offering the coolest resort in this part of the country. As at Tuckerman’s Ravine, on the White Mountains, in the Catskills, ice can be foun Tound, the mercury in several of th never Tising above thirty degrees ‘Fahrenheit, At Panama Village,.near these curious phenomena, there is a fair country tavern, The hotel at Lake View is garrisoned by negro servants, and the house claims to be first class, At GriMth’s Point 1s a sttll larger house, pleasantly shaded by ample Joliage and contalinng 100 rooms, At Bemus’ Point there are two hotels, and two or tnree at Mayville, near the railway station. Tne fare at these different hotels includes an abundance of fish and chicken, board costing trom $10 to $18 a week, The Chautauqua Lake people are convinced that their locality, when it becomes better known, will be one of the most popular resorts in the country. They have made @ bold bid for popularity by an effort to have these waters selected as the course of the next College regatta. Certainly, Lake Chautauqua is far more pictaresque and more equable than the capricious pond at Saratoga; but its distance from New York and Boston puts tt at @ disadvantage. For the tourist, the health seeker or the summer idler, however, Chautauqua Lake can hardly be surpassed. It can be reacied via Jamestown) by the Erie and Atlantic and reat Western railroads in about twenty hours, SPRAY FROM NIAGARA. nd by here- The Season and the Hotels—The Peer of Biondin—A Burial At the Feot of Horseshoe Fall—The Beecher Scandal Among the try Folks. NIAGARA FALts, August 22, 1874, To any one seeKing repose and solitude Niagara may this season be fairly recommended, it 1s many years since the concourse of tourists at this point has been so meagre as it 1s this season. The woody paths of Goat Island are comparatively de- serted, and but for the excursion parties coming from Buffalo, Lockport, Rochester and other neighboring towns the fate of the. photographers and hack drivers would be deplorable. Toe other day the American side was, however, densely populated by a number of turners from Buffalo, who made thetr headquarters at Prospect Park, where thpy indulged in picnicking, in dancing and in speechifying. In the two principal speeches THE REBCHER SCANDAL was dragged in, the speakers gratuitously assum- ing that the Brooklyn minister was in toe wrong and that his fate was an example and warning to all those who took exception to outdoor Sunday amusemets as practised in the old country. This extraordinary logic would nut be worth recording were it not that it shows how widely the public mind ts possessed by the Brooklyn blight, All the newspapers in this vicinity have republished the testimony as tt has appeared inthe New York papers, and the subject is the all-absorving topic Of talk in hotels and railway cars. It wouid ap- pear that the rural mind ts quite as keenly attuned to scandal as the metropolitan ; and I regret tosay that the general feeling is against the Beecher sice ofthe question, A Southern college professor, whose acquaintance [ made at the Falls, assures me that the same feeling exists [2 the States of Ala bama and Georgia; for, however disereditabie It may be to u: @ people, the great scandal seems to have. assumed the dimedsions of @ national question, and is wo-day discussed from Alaska to Fiorlda. TUE NEW BLONDIN, But we have at Niagara other subjects of inter- est. Chief among them is Stephen Peer. This dar- ing individual is about twenty-eight years of age, nd for some years past nas followed the avocation ofheckdriver. Being of slight build, though of strong muscular development, he has also devoted Bemp attentinn to gymnastics, and Lad won a sort that the development and improvement of the | stock will constantly produce better and quicker — | It i# not. exactly true that they have , of local reputation as a performer on the tight rope at county jairs im this vicinity. One day last summer Peer beheld a foreign gymnast—Bellini, I think, was bis name—cross the Niagara River on 4 tight rope. The sight fired his ambition. “I can do what,” he exclaimed, and a day or two after be ran across tn@ rope with the greatest agility. 80 this season several of the residents of this place, inclading the bridge people and two or three hotel proprietors, contributed money enough to buy & ope, with the numerous requisite guys to keep it in place. and stretched It across the river, just below the new suspension bridge and a few rods from the Cliiton House. Peer agreed to pay for the rope out of the first emoluments of the enterprise, with the understanding that all the subsequent receipts were to accrue to him. He expects in one more display o! hia skill to pay for this rope and thenceforward to accumulate stores of money. No aamis: e ig charged to witness his teat, but his as: nS passes around the Money Dox, appealing solely to the generosity of the spectators. Peer took advantage of the presence of the Buf- falg Turners yesterday to croas the rope. Attired in ‘Agnes like @ circus performer, and wearing on Dis head, one 0! the bead-worked caps which are sold abont the Falls, he started trom the Canada side. There were no police officers. present, and crowds of shabby, dirty children obstructed the end of the rope, which was caretuily secured by an iron stake and further fastened around @ conve- nient tree, “Go away, boys, said Stephen Peer to. the Juvenile crowd, . The circumambient youths retired for 9 minute and gazed at Stephen with unaisguised admira- tion, yearning for the day when they, too, should walk across Niagara River on a Tope, when they closed up again and encircled the “daring funam- bulist’!—that’e what he calls himself on his: pro- grammes—iike @ hive of Stephen finall: Trasped his lon; = and started with wary trea he rope sagge! wn in the mi so that his Way was down hill for a whzle.. le took frequent rests, and when near the American shore, oppo- site the crowd o! some 2,000 Turners and other strangers who were standing on the bank, he per- formed a series of the feats so familiar in all cir- cuses and gymnasia. He hung by his two bands, then byone hand and then by an odd leg. The least slip would have sent him 200 feet below imto the seething waters of the Niagara River, but he made no slip, aud after his dangerous frolica climbed his way carefully. up the steep ascent of the fase ‘til he was lost tn the gazing crowd. At times ‘his final ‘‘nomestretch” he looked from the Canadian side like a ener colored insect crawling along a spider’a thread. Peer has a wife and. child, His neighbors con- fidently expect that he will lose tits Ile in some of his aérial journeys. On Friday be expects to leap from the rope into the river, apd several tourists intend remaining over expressly to witness this feat. Asa general ting, however, the exploite of Peer do not awaken the interest which attended those of Blondin, The novelty of the thing is over. A TALE OF A COBPSE. The people of Niagara Village have been much scandalized by an instance of neglect which 18 dis- graceful to aby civilized community. On the 4th of July last a sailboat was upset near Buffalo and four of the occupants were drowned, Three of the bodies were found along the shore above the Falls: but one of them—that of a:German servant giri— appears to have. floated down, and to have been swept over the cataract. ‘It was found at the base of the Horseshoe Fall about three weeks , and was encoffined and buried on the spot, But the ground here ts 80 rocky that it was impossible. to cover the unfortunate gir) with earth, and the edges of the coffin are visible above the scanty sand thrown over it. Itiwas a painiul sight, but being in a place but rarely visited by tourists, was not often beheld. Yesterday the remains were removed to the village cemetery, Kour men were paid $50 to do the job.

Up to the beginning of the last month the Muckers, though showing themselves possessed of a turbulent and fanatical spirft and veing popu- larly accused of various crimes and offences against persons and property, had not seriously compromised themselves with the public authori- ties, The only public notice taken of them was when, alter a more than usual tanatical display of riotous conduct last year, the authorities arrested the chief and bound them over to keep the peace. MURDER UNDBR THB. GUISE OF RELIGION. In June, however, their meetings were attended with circumstances which alarmed the Ccoiontsts, threats being made against the seceders and the enemies of the true church, which, it was pro- claimed, was to do justice for itself and avenge the cause of God upon His enemies. The autnorities, however, did not pay much attention to the ac- counts forwarded to them from the colony, and they awakened onty to the true character of the persecuting and murderous spirit of these mad fanatics when (June 25) the house of one of the seceders was fired, and its inmates, women and children, shot down and left to consume in the flames.

ANOTHER STRANGE ABDUCTION. The White Adopted Daughter of Nova Scotian Indians Kidnapped at New- port—A Deep Mystery—Story of the Lit= tle Waif—Her Probable Fate. Newport, R, 1, August 23, 1874, At the commencement of the season two Indian’ ‘Women with three small children, one girl and two boys, came to this city and pitched a tent in which to live upon the bathing beach, near the ticket oMce. The children were left to play inand about the tent while the women went about the city and offered for sale ladies’ fancy baskets and other trinkets peculiar to the Indians. They be- long to @ tribe who are located at Liverpool, Nova Scotia. One of the children above referred to was an interesting and beautiful girl, of white parents, aged about nine years. whomone of the women, Mrs, Lizzie Charles, adopteq when she was four about 200 men and two pieces sof artillery, to capture all implicated in the attack and to bring them to Porto Alegre. When the Chief arrived at the colony he iound that the male Muckers had gathored at the prophet’d house, situated in a mountainous district of the colony, and diffe cult of access. i (THE UNBAPPY VALLEY. ‘The. place was well chosen. Yadre Eterno, or Leonerhof, ag the colonists now. call it, is an an- cient plantation, in'a valley surrounded by heavily timbered iis, accéssinie only by two bush roads passing through »-defiles.. Inside, are some sixty families . gettleds, almost. all fol- lowers of Maurer, and around them are large plantations of sugar cane and grain, with wide pastures, covered with cattle ‘and horses, Behind it extend vast forests, in which dwell Indiana, by whose progenitors two total massacres of all the slaves of the plantation were in past yearsefected,, Maurer’s house; the centre of the deience, {sa strong stone one, adapted to be effectively held by a garrison, and surrounded ‘vy works making the approach dificult. Here the Muckers had their headquarters, and the men were assisted by boys, and even women, who had been trained to shoot with precision, many of the women putting a carbine ball into a playing card at 200 yards distance, THE ATTACK ON THE FANATICS. Colonel! Sampaio determined to attack the Muck- ers’ position, and. advanced by one of the roads, dragging two cannon. life ‘was _ seen, suddenly, after they haa well entered the defile, baila rained ‘on his ° “force all sides, and, ‘von alter @ vain attempt to charge upon his un: enemies through the matted wood, Colone! Sampaio was obliged! to ‘retreat with the loss cf five killed and thirty-five wounded,, saving his cannon with difticulty. * MASSACRES AND OUTRAGES. This defeat of the troops was followed at once by the burnimg’of thirteen. houses anc the murcer of ali their inmates by the Muckers, and’ the spread- ing of an Inconceivable: panic ‘throughout the populous setulement of $380 Leopolao. Troops were ordered ap irom all quarters of the province, national guards called out, anda be: was, with much difficulty, got up to Sao Leopoldo. Witha sorce of 600 men and several cannon Colonel Sam- paio made another attempt @ iew dayy ago, and, after a sharp fight, in which the Muckers lust nine men, lour women and.two children, and the troops 81x killed and over poy. wounded, succeeded in taking Maurer’s house, which was first abandoned by tue Lager Who escaped to the woods; but two nights later the. government Jorce was sur- prised by the Mutkers, who killed or wounded thirty-one, Colonel Sampaio himself, dying of a wound recelved on the occasion. 4 SERIOUS QUESTION. The matter ts thus serious. , Althongh six bun- dred to eight hundred troops and national guards are employed against them, andthe Sao Leo- poldo colonists have four thousand men in arms to defend the settlement, the Muckers continue to pounce upon and burn Lhe outlying farms, killing all they find, and maintaining the utmost terror in @ large region'of populous country. The Muckers are well armed and trained, their precision of shooting being shown by the tact that all the wounded and, killed were shot through tne body, and they have some kind of Shell or grenade with which they fire the houses from a distance. ‘A MINOR DISTURBANCE arose a few days since tn Pernambuco, with some loss of hie. Owing to the great increase o! norse- stealing a law had been passed for compulsory branding and’ registration aid a small tax ini- d. This created great excitement in the grazing districts, and resulted in an attack being Made by the discontents upon the town o! Gam- ellevra, where vhe register was kept, but the chief ‘of Police's force. repuised and dispersed them, losing two police killed. ‘A PRETEXT FOR A ROW GONE. ‘The bombardment of Alvear has not disturded the relations between the Argentine Confedcrauon and Braatl, the Braztian Envoy at Buenos Ayres has at once assured the Argentine government that all due repereucn should be made.

On Friday all three of tne children were at play in the. viowmtty of the tent, when a well dressed gentieman took the girl by the nand and asked her if she did not want to take a walk with him? Sbe answered, ‘'No;”’ but at his promise to her to pur- chase some candies for her she consented. He im- mediately took her mside the tent and removed her outside garments, which were very shabby, and replaced them with new ones, which he had brought with him, and which go to prove that he knew of the exact whereabouts of tne gir. He walked rapidly ap the bill that leads from the beach with his prize, and as it was nearly dark he did not. attract much attention from the passers by.. Some of the townspeople, however, who had been accustomed to see the girl in company with her dark-skinned companions, rollicking about among the sand hills. and who had vainly conjec- tured the reagon of her being with. them, noticed! we couple ag they passed down Bowery street, op- posite the Ocean House, but thought nothing of the circumstance.
