In furnishing some extracts from the Journal of the Black Creek School Master, in relation to the early settlement of the Wabash Valley, I will first give a few entries made by the young journalist while on the road moving to this country. The first memorandum of any particular interest reads thus: Falls Of Pall Creek, Madison Madison Co, Ind, October 24, 1824. J Mr. Corey, the sheriff, took us in to see the Indian murderers -Bridge, Sawyer, Hudson, and John Bridge. Hudson is now under sentence of death. He sits apart from the rest, reading a emall Bible. Old man Bridge, his son John, and Sawyer, are reclining on the jail floor, dressed in brown pantaloons and blue linsey hunting shirts. Hudson has on a black woolen wamus, fastened with a leathern belt. He is quite penitent, talks but little, and appears to be about forty years old-heavy set, and inclines to be corpulent. Old man Bridge and Sawyer talked freely with father and others on the subject of their confinement. They each appear to be over fifty years of age, and are thin and cadaverous. John Bridge is an over-grown boy of about twenty, who says his father and uncle Sawyer were the cause of hi.

A course of lectures on Flunkey ism, delivered to large and admiring audiences, by one who knew how to deal in the most scalding sarcasm, completely cured the growing distemper, and it is now thought by good judges that our community has never since been afflicted with the slightest symptoms of that bogus aristocracy, which is prone to steal into pantalette towns, villages, and even rural districts, if not carefully guarded against, and nipped in the bud. These lectures were succeeded by the Moot Legislature of Lafayette, a large and interesting body, which numbered over one hundred members, and was conducted with an ability that would not have been discreditable to the real Legislature of the State for two or three consecutive Winters. ''While in this connection it would be proper to alludo to Capt. Price''s class in Mnemonics, or the art of memory, in which he proposed in a course of eight lectures, to lear n his pupils to memorise and repeat fifty or more of the hardest words that could be propounded, by simply naming them over once.
