WHITE'S STATION, CHIO.

At this

1000. Note.-A wonderful specimen of prowess was exhibited by the people at White's Station, on the 19 of October, 1793, which has hitherto escaped the notice of every historian. Captain JACOB WHITE and several families had commenced a settlement at this place, which is on Mill Creek, about nine miles from the village of Cincinnati, a year or two previous to the above date. time, it so happened that only four men capable of making a defence were at home. This circumstance was, no doubt, ascertained by the Indian enemy. In the dusk of the evening, the dismal warwhoop was given. Several guns were fired, which instantly killed Andrew Goble and two children of Moses Pryer. This was the first intimation of the approach of the savage foe. In a moment, about sixty warriours of the Shawanese and Taway tribes rushed into the enclosure and got possession of one half of the buildings in the settlement, all of which were near together. Captain White, Moses Pryer, Stephen Flinn, and Samuel Dunn had the presence

of mind to make a noble and successful stand against the savage host. They soon killed seven with their rifles and wounded four, which so alarmed the invaders, that they retreated with the utmost haste. Three of their slain they left upon the ground and the rest they carried off. The Taway chief, who was the first commander of his tribe in war and a half king, or second in council, in time of peace, was killed by the heroick captain White. He was somewhat like the Anakims for altitude, measuring six feet and nine inches! While the rest of this little band acted well their part, all expecting to have fallen a prey to the ghastly tomahawk or other weapons of the overwhelming force, captain White, who, providentially, had six or eight rifles loaded at the time of the onset, discharged them in rapid succession through the crevices of his log house and with an aim, which was fatal to several of the savages besides their chief. While doing this wonderful execution with his rides, he directed his little son to bring him a broad axe, intending, whenever the Indians attempted to force their way into his door, which he every moment expected, to do his utmost, with this instrument of death, before he yielded up his life. A kind Providence protected the valiant opposers of the terrible foe and gave them a triumph, when they had reason to think that they, their wives, their little ones, and the helpless aged inmates of their

families would shortly have been in the world of spirits.

This is one of the many singular instances, in which the people, in various parts of this American land, have experienced a wonderful divine interposition when in the greatest jeopardy from their aboriginal enemies.
