* On page one hundred and twenty-two, we have given a brief account of the capture by the Indiaus of the two sons of Jonathan Rowley. Since that was written we have been furnished by John M. Goodnough, Esq., with a more par- ticular account of the circumstances attending their capture and captivity. Mr. Goodnough's mother was a daughter of Dea. John Mott, who has been mentioned in the former part of this work. Dea. Mott and Mr. Rowley were neighbors, and the facts here related have been preserved in the Mott and Goodnough families. This embraces additional facts of such interest that we present the substance of it below :-
It was near the close of a bright autumnal day. Mr. Rowley had gone to the Fort on an errand. His sons had ventured to go down to the Creek, fishing, in spite of the remonstrance ot their mother. They had been gone but a short time when, to the mother's amazement, there entered the house, without the slightest warning, three tall, brawny Indians, with painted faces and ferocious looks. With a bold and commanding air, they motioned her to get them something to eat. She nearly sank to the floor with faintness. She thought of her boys, and hoped for her husband's return. To escape was impossible, and with all the courage she could command, she went about getting the savages a supper. She often passed the window, and, when unobserved, cast a glance in the direction from which she expected her husband and boys to return. Now and then, also, she glanced at the hideous beings who had assumed command over her. They were dressed in buek- skins, and each waist was encircled by a belt, under which was seen on one side the handle of a hatchet, and on the other the bright blade of a scalping-knife, reminding her of the awful deeds of their barbarous race. She prepared them a plentiful meal, the best her house afforded, and then shrunk back into a corner, watching every movement of her unwelcome guests. They gorged themselves like so many vultures. Having at length moved back, they got up and stretched their bony forms. Then one of them, after glaring at Mrs. Rowley with savage ferocity, sprang upon her and tore from her neck a string of gold beads and a silk handkerchief, but did her no other violence. They took a feather bed, carried it out of the house, ripped open the tiek, and amused themselves for a few minutes in tossing the feathers into the air, laughing and dancing with true savage glec. After taking a few trifling articles they left the premises.
