Rueben McCarty's experiences in the massacre of the River Raisin, which appeared in last week's Outlook, has been received most enthusiastically. Several men from Pendleton County were with Col. Whitney's command at Raisin, and many of our families point with pride to their gallant forbears who fought at the Raisin. One of our readers has volunteered another interesting story, this one concerning Lieut.-Col. James Browning, a native of Pendleton County, who was on the staff of Col. Wm. Whitney. Mr. Browning was released by the Indians and returned to his old home several years after the close of the war. He resided many years on Big Willow Creek, on the farm known as the Sam Galloway place. Mr. Browning later sold his farm and removed to another on Richland Creek, and now known as the John Moore place. He lived there the remainder of his life. His remains are buried in the burying plot on the place. Mr. Browning was a volunteer, and served as Lieutenant Colonel on the commander's staff. He saw service in the fierce battles with the British and Indians, and was with the regiment when they reached the River Raisin. Col. Browning was among the few who escaped the tomahawk of the Indians, when the British left the unarmed prisoners to the mercy of their savage captors. The prisoners, according to the story told by Colonel Browning, were confined in a stockade, the wounded ones being sheltered in a blockhouse. The wounded became too much of the care to their captors, and they locked the prisoners in the block house and set fire to it and burned all of them to death. There were some fifteen or twenty who were spared for torture at the great feast of victory of the redskins. Not only were they made to run the gauntlet, but they were subjected to every kind of torture the savage minds of the Indians could conceive. Those who could not stand the ordeals were killed with the tomahawk. One of the methods of torture was accomplished by scraping the skin from the prisoner's arms with a sharp tomahawk and then rubbing hot wood ashes and salt in the wounds, to make them more painful. According to the story of this old warrior, he had witnessed the prisoners, bound and gagged, undergo this fearful torture without a flinch though the pain was terrible. Some even laughed at the savages, which elicited their respect, for there was nothing the Indian admired more than courage, and nothing he detested more than cowardice and weakness. Some of the prisoners could not withstand the ordeal, and they were killed and scalped by the Indians. One story that Col. Browning loved to tell was of an occasion when the prisoners were lined up on the ice of the frozen river, objects of torture for the Indian squaws, who would walk up and down the line, pinching them and otherwise torturing them. The young braves who guarded them flung taunts at the prisoners for allowing themselves to become captives. One of the squaws walked up to Col. Browning, who was standing near the center of the line, and in full view of a number of the braves, and almost pinched a piece our of his arm. He quickly decided that he would endure this humiliation no longer, and as the squaw started away, he gave her a kick, which sent her sliding across the ice for fifteen or twenty feet. The braves who were standing near, threw up their hands and with shouts ran toward the prisoner. He thought that they were going to tomahawk him, and closed his eyes that he might not see their savage, painted faces as they bore down upon him. To his surprise they came up and slapped him on the back and called him "brave paleface." Col. Browning remained a prisoner of the Indians for many months, but always after this incident he was shown the greatest respect and escaped many of the ordeals which his less fortunate companions were obliged to endure. When Col. Browning returned from the war he possessed a number of trophies, which he prized very highly. He was a highly respected citizen and was one of the sturdy men of the time when Pendleton County was a wilderness. The story of Col. Browning is well authenticated by traditions handed down by the members of the family to the present day.

Wallace is a good horse-shoer, and the farmers would be glad if he would continue the good work each week. Knoxville is without a blacksmith, and the F.M. Norton stand is one of the best in Pendleton Co. The property is for sale, including a full line of tools, but if not sold within a shore time will be for rent. A good all-round blacksmith is badly needed in Knoxville and the location affords the best opportunity for money-making to be found any where.
