IN TKE BODY, BACK AND HEAD t Reader,
much ol this is caused from COLD, caught unwittingly, or. in seven doses uni often, SLUGGISHNESS OF THE lAYi'Al ANO BLOOD; and want
of'NATURAL PERSPIRATION, indiscretion in
lbe use of POOD AND DRINK, or from a dryness
in the atmosphere—which is a very unhealthy
part of this climate—many ofthe AWFUL, VIOLENT AND SUDDEN DEATHS that occur here
must be attributed to this. Now, reader, I have
made this my study for many years, and I do assure you tbat mv DR. WEBBER'S INVIGORATING CORDIAL will cure those causes—it will
insure animation of the LIVER. BLOOD AND'j
BRAINS—it strengthens fhe nerves, and gives
to the sufferer a lightness of spirits, a mental and
bodily feeling of strength that is delightful. The
many respectable, persons who bave been benefited by and certified to-its extraordinary qualities
in curing any ofthe following diseases, must satisfy all bul the self-wise and Ignorant skentic—

intemperance, and where delirium tremens has
occurred, I have seen it change the sufferer in
half an hour from the most horrible state to calmness aud placidity. It can, indeed., be conscientiously recommended to all suffering,, and' the proprietor regrets deeply that it is neeessary thus to

The Perils of the Border.
While reading receollj' au account ol tlie friglit-
fuhnassnere of several white families by (he lilack-
foot Indians, we were reminded of a thrilling
event which occurred in the "Wild West,'" a short,
time subsequent to the Revolution, in which a
highly accomplished young lady, the daughter of
a distinguished officer of tlie American Army,
played an important part. The story being ofa
most thrilling nature, and exhibiting in a striking
manner the "Perils of tbe Border," wc have concluded to give an extract Irom U. as originally
published, as follows :—
The angle on the right bank of the Great Kanawha, formed by its junction with the Ohio, is
called I'oint Pleasant, and is a place ef historical
lii.ie. Here, on the lOtfa of October, 1774, during
wliitt is known as hord Dunmore's Wnr, "was
fought one nf the fiercest and most desperate but-
lles that ever book place between ilie Virginians,
and their forttj iocs
After the battle in question, iu which tho Indians were defeated with great loss, a fort was
here erected by Ihe pjctors, which !ir-i:,i.'iie rj. un-;
of great importance throughout the sanguinary
scenes 61 sirife which almost immediately followed fl-nd which in this section oftlie country
were continued for many years after that establishment of peace which acknowledged the United
Colonies of America a Iree and independent nation.
At the landing of the fort, On the day our story
ripens, was fastened a flat-boat, of the kind used by
the   early navlgatOM ofthe Wistern rivers.

Upon the deek of that boat, at the moment we
present the scene to the render, stood live individual*, alike engaged in waiehing a group of persons, mostly females, who were slowly uppreaeh-
ing tbe landing. Ofthese live, one was a stout-
sleek negro, iu partial livery, and evidently a
liouse or body servant ; three were boatmen and
borderers, as ludicated by their rough, bronzed
visages and coarse attire,but the fifth was a young
man. some two-and-twenty years of age, nf a fine
commanding person, and a clear, open intelligent
countenance ; and in tlie lolty carriage of Lis head
—in the gleam of his large, bright, hazel eye—
there was something which denoted one of superior mind ; but as we shall have occasion in the
course of our narrative to fully set forth who and
what Eugeoe Fairfax was, we will leave him for
the present, and turn lo the appruacliiug group,
whom he-Seemed to l-e regarding with lively in-
rerost.
Of this group, composed ofa middle-aged man
and four females, with a black female servant following some five paces in the rear, there was one
whom Hie most casual eye would have singled out
and rested upon with pleasure. The lady in question, was apparently about twenty years ot age, of
slender and graceful figure, and of that peculiar
t of feature, which, besides being beautiful m
every lineament, rarely fails to affect the beholder
with semething like a charm.
Her traveling costume—a fine brown habit,
bigb in tbe tiecs, buttoned olorely over t'ie bosom
and coming down to her ' small, pretty feet, without trailing on the ground—was both neat and becoming ; aud with her riding cap audits waving
ostricli illume, eet gaily above her flowiug QurLs,

which had been niamtairn.-d since quiU[n,:. .A"
open fort behind tbem, "1 cannot bear to let you
go ; for il just seems to me as it sometliieg were
going to happen to you. and when I feel lhat Way,
something generally does happen."
"Well, aunt," replied Blanche, with a light
Inugb. '-f do not doubt in the least that, something
will happen—for I expect one of these days to
reach my dear father and biased mother, and give
them such an embrace as is due from a dutiful
daughter to her parents—and, that will be something that has uot happened for two long years
at least."
'•But I don't mean that. Blanche/' returned the
olbcr. somewhat petuleiitly ; "and you just laugh
like a gay -and tho'.-glitless girl, when you otitHit
to be serious. Because you have-Come sale thus

vou tbat a feavtul journey is belore yon ! Scarcely
a boat descends tlie OLio that does not encounter
move or less peril from the savages that prowl
along either shore; and seme ot them that go
flown freighted With human life are heard of no
more, and none are left to tell the tale,-7
"But why repeat this to me, dear aunt,'-' returned Blanche, witha more serious air, ' when you
know it is my destiny, good or bad, to attempt
the voyage? My parents have sent foi: me to join
them in their new home, and it is my duty to go
to tbem, be the peril what it may.''
■'You never did know what it was to fear! pursued the good woman, rather proudly. "No.T-* she
repeated, turning to the others, '.'Blanche Bertrand
never did know what it was to fear, I believe I"
"Just like her father !" joined in the husband of
the matron, the brother of Blanche's mother, Hie
commander of the staiioo, and the middle-aged
gentleman mentioned as one of the party ; ,:a true
daughter ol a true soldier. Her father, Colonel
Philip Bertrand, God bless him tor a true heart!
never did seem to know what it was to fear—and
Blanche is just like htm."
By this time the parties had reached the boat;
and the young man already described—Eugene
Fairfax, the secretary of Blanche's father—at once
stepped forward, and in a polite and deferential
manner, ottered liis hand to the different females
to assist them ou board. Tiie hand of.'Blanche
was the last to touch him—and then but sligliily

flush which man tied his noble, expressive features,
as his eye lora single instant met hers. She
might herself liave seen it—perhaps she did—but
there was no corresponding glow 00 her own
bright, pretty face, as she enquired, in the calm,
dignified; tone of one having tiie right to put the
Question, and who might nlsoh:
'■ I hope we understand our duty better, Colonel." said one ot the men, respectfully.
" 1 doubt it not," replied the comm-iuder of the
Point; "I believe you are all faithful and true
men, M you would not have been Selected by tbe
agent of Colonel Bertrand, for taking down more

for humanity. You understand what I mean?
White men, apparently iu the greatest distress,
will hail your boat, represent themselves as having
just escaped from the Indians, and beg of you, lor
the love of God, in tlie most piteous terms, to
como to their relief; but turn a deaf ear to tbem
—to each and all of them—even should you know
the pleaders to be of your own kin t for in such a
case your own brother might deceive you—not
wilfully and voluntarily, perhaps—but because of
being goaded on by the savages, themselves concealed. Yes, snch things have been known asone
friend being thus used lo lure another to desfruc^
tion ; and se be cautious, vigilant, brave and true,
and may the God keep you from all harm I"
As he finished speaking, BUuK.he proceeded to
take an afleetiouate leave of all, receiving many
a tender message for lier parents from those who
held Ihem in love and veneration ; and the boat
swung out, and began to float dowu with the current, bow fairly entered upon the most dangerona
portion ofa long aud perilous journey.
The father of Blanche, Colonel Philip Bertram!,
was a native of Virginia, and a descendant of one
of the Huguenot refugees, who fled from their native land, alter Hie revocation of the edict of
Nantz in lGf'5 He had been au officer ot some
note during the Revolution—a warm political and
personal friend ofthe author of the Declaration of
independence—and a gentleman who always stood
high iu the esteem of liis associates and cotempo-
ntries.
Though at one time a man of wealth, Colonel
Bertrand had lost much, and suffered much,
through British invasion ; and when, shortly after the close of the war. he had met with a few
more serious reverses, he had been fain to accept
a grant of land near the Falls of the Ohio, now
Louisville, tendered him by Virginia, who then
held jurisdiction over the entire territory, now
constituting the State of Kentucky.       ^^^^^_
The grant had decided Hit Colonel upon seeking his new possessions, and building up a new
borne in the then Far West, and as his wife had
insisted upon accompanying him on his first tour,
he had assented to her desire, on condition that
Blanche should be left among her friends, till such
time as a place could be prepared which might iu
some degree be considered a fit abode for one ec
Carefully and tenderly reared.
Blanche would gladly have gone with her pa,
rents ; hut on this point her father bad been in
exorable—declaring tbat she would have to remain at the Fast till he should see proper to send
tor her ] and as he was a man of positive
ter, and a rigid disciplinarian, the matter had
been settled without argument.
When Colonel Bertrand removed to tbe West,
Eugene Fairfax, as we bave seen, accompanied
bim ; and coming of age shortly after, he had accepted the liberal offer of liis noble benefactor tc
remain with him in the capacity of private secretary and confidential agent. On taking posses
si on of Lis grant, the Colonel had almost immedi
ately erected a fort, and ottered such inducements
to settlers as to speedily collect around him quite

their removal to Fort Bertrand became an easy

deliver a package of letters to Iriends in the East.
Eugene bad been thrice dispatched—his third com
mission also extending to the escorting of the
beautiful heiress, with her servants, to her new
home. This last commission had been so tar' e::e-
cnted at the time chosen for tbe opening of our
tory, so as to bring the different parties to the
mouth ot great Kanawha, ■whence the reader has
seen them slowly floating off upon the still, glassy
bosom of the '" belle of rivers."
The duy, which was an auspicious one, passed
without anything occurring worthy of note, uutil
near lour O'clock, when, as Blanche was standing
on the forepart of the deck gazing at the lovely
:;oeue which surrounded her. she saw a seemingly
living body suddenly leave a limb of a gigantic
tree, (whose mighty branches extended far over
the river< aud neal which the boat was fhen swayed by the action of the current,) and alight wiih
a crash upon the boat, not more lhan eight feet
from her. One glance sufficed to show her what
the object was, and to freeze the blood in her reins.
The glowing eyes ofa huge panther met her gaze.
The .suddenness oftlie shock whicli this discovery
gave her was overpowering. With a deafening
shriek she tell upon her knees and elapsed ber
hands before her breast. The panther crouched
for his deadly leap, but ere he sprang, the hunting-knife of Eugene Fairfax (who, with the steersman, was the, only person on deck beside Blanche,)
was buried,to the bill in his side, inflicting a severe but uot fatal wound. The infuriated beast
at once turned upon Eugene, and a deadly struggle ensued. But it was a short one. The polished blade of the knife played back and forth like
lightning flashes, aud at every plunge it was buried to ibe hilt in the panther's body, who soon
fell to tbe deck, dragging ihe dauntless Eugene
with him. Ou seeing her protector fall, Blanche
Uttered another shriek and rushed lo his aid ; but
assistance from stouter arms was at haud. Tlie
boatmen gathered round, aud the savage monster
was literally hacked in pieces with their knives
and hatchets, and Ivugene. covered with blood.
was dragged from under liis carcass. Supposing
him to be dead or mortally wounded, Blanche
threw her arms around hia neck, and gave way to
a passionate burst of grief. Bot he was not dead
—he was not even hurt, witli the exception of*a
few slight scratches. Ttie blood with whicli he
was covered Was the panlber's. not his own. But

a rough band being placed upon his shoulder, ac-
[gnurvmied by the words, in ihe gruff voice, of the
boatman :
"I say. Cap'n. here's trouble!"
'• What is it, Dick?"' inquired Eugene, starling
lo bis feel
•- Don't you see thar's a heavy fog rising, that'll
soon hiver us np so thick that we won't be aide to
tell a while ban frum a nigger'.'" replied tbe
boatman—tH-ak SFiatei by uame—a tall, bony,
muscular, athletic specimen of his class.
•'Good heavens! so there 1st" exclaimed Eugene, broking off Upon the already misty waters.
■■ Et must have gathered very suddenly, for all
was clear a minute ago. What is to be done now?
This is something 1 was not prepared for ou such
this."'^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^-
Win-. :■! you warul so ske'-red about the young
lady, and it warn'l so dead agin tbe orders from'
head-ouarters, niy plan would be a cl'ar and easy
one—I'd just nui over to the Kaintuck shore and'
tie up."
' No, no," said Rugene. positively ; "lhat wilt1.
never do, Dick—that will never do! I would not
think ot such a tiling for a moment! We muit
keep in the current by all means!"
''KTyou can,'-' rejoined the boatman ; "hut when'
t gits so dark as we can't tell one thing from
t'other, it'll be powerful hard to do; and ef we
don't run agin a bar or bank afore morniog. in
spite of the best 0' ns, it'll lie the luckiest go that
ever I had a hand in. See,* Cap'n—It's thickening up fast ; we can't see cylher bank at all,
nor the water nyther ; the stars is gettiu' dim.:
and it looks as if thar war a cloud all round ua."
"I see! I see!" returned Eugene,* excitedly.'
"Merciful Heaven !1 hope no accident will befall
us bere—and yet my heart almost misgives me!—
forth!?, 1 believe, is the most dangerous part of
mi r journey—the vicinity where most of our boats"
have been captured by the savages."
Saving this, Bogene hastened below, where he'
found the other boatmen sleeping so soundly as lo'
require considerable effort on liis part to wake
them. At last, netting them fairly roused, he'
informed them, almost in a Mhisper, for lie did1
not care to disturb the others, that a heavy fog
had suddenly arisen, and he wished their presence
on deck, immediately.
"A fog, Cap'n," exclaimed one, in a tone which'
indicated that he comprehended the peril with the'
word.
'■IIubIi 1" returned Eugene ; "there is no necessity for waking the others, and baving a scene.'
Up! and follow me. without a word!"
lie glided buck to the deck, and was almost
irnim diately joined by the boatmen, to whom ho
briefly made known his hopes and fears,
Thery thought, like iheir companion, that the'
boat would be safest if made fast to an Overhanging limb of the Kentucky shore ; but frankly ad-/
mitted that this could not now be done without
difficulty and danger, and that there was a poeai-'
bility of keeping the current.
"Then make that possibiliiy a certainty, atld It
shall be the best night's work you ever per-!
formed!" rejoined Eugene, in a quick, excited
tone.
'■We'll do tbe best we can, Cap'n," was the re-'
sponae ' "but no mau can be sartin of the current
of this Iiere crooked stream In a foggy night."
A long silence followed—the voyagers slowly
drifting down through a misty darkness impene-'
treble to the eye—when suddenly, our young commander, who was standing near the bow, lelt the'
extended branch of an overhanging limb silently
brush his face. He started, with an exclamation
of alarm, and at the same moment the boatman on
the right called out :
"Quick, here, boys! we're agin the shore, as
sure as death!"
Then followed a scene of hurried and anxious
confusion. Hie voices of Hie three boatmen min-'
gling together in loud, quick, excited tones.
"Bush off the bow!" cried one.
"Quick! altogether, now! over with her!"
shouted another.      .       ,
" The de'il's in it! she's running ttgronhd here
on a muddy bottom !" almost yelled a third.
Meanwhile the laden  boat was brushing along
against projecting bosl.es and overreaching limbs,
and every moment getting more and more entan-
! I gled ; while the long poles and sweeps of the boat-
peare^ul-'^ ^ltei0Ple<l l« jWflj her off, were often
were only extricated by such ah outlay of strength'
as tended still more to draw the cltilusy Praft upon
the bank they wished to avoid. At length, scarcely more than a minute trom the first alarm, there'
was a kind of settling together, as it were, and the'
boat became fast and immovable.
Tbe fact was aunounced by Dick Winter, in his
characteristic manner-—who added, with an oath,
that it was just what he expected. For a moment
or two a dead silence followed, as if each coraprc-'
beaded tbat the matter was one lo be viewed iu a1
very.serious light.
"I'll get over the bow, and try to git the lay of
the land with my feet," said Tom Harris; and
forthwith he set about the not very pleasant undertaking.  ,
At this moment Eugene heard his name pronounced by a voice that seldom failed to excite a
peculiar emotion in his breast, and now sent a
strange thrill through every nerve ,; and hastening below, he found Blanche, fully dressed, with
a light in her hand, standing just outside her cab-"
in. in the regular passage which led lengthwise
through ihe centre of the boat.
Mhave heard something, Eugene," she said,'
•'enough to know that we have met with an accident, but not sufficient to fully comprehend ils
nature."
"Unfortunately, about two hours ago," replied
Eugene, "we suddenly became involved in a
dense fog, and, in spile of onr every precaution
and care, we have run aground—it may be against
the Ohio shore—it may be against an island—it is"
so dark we can't tell. But be not alarmed, Mian
Blanche.'' he hurriedly' added ; "1 trust we shall
soon be afloat again ; though, in any event, the'
darkness is sufficient to conceal us from the savages, even were they in the viciniiy."
"I know little ot Indians," returned Blanche;1
" but 1 have always understood tbat they ate Some-*

His words were suddenly cut short by several'
loud voices of alarm from without, followed by a'
quick and heavy trampling across the deek ; and:
the next momei.t Seth Ilaiper and Hick Winter
burst into the passage, the former exclaiming :-
" We've run p'uni into a red uiggerfe's nefet,'
Cap'n, and Tom Harris Ib already butchered and1

And even as he spoke, ns if in confirmation of
his dreadful intelligence, there arnce a series of
wild, piercing, demonical yells, followed by a dead'
and ominous silence.
