The Extraordinary Successor this popular Family Paper 
is owins entirely lu ihe fact, that it comes up to the expec- 
tation of oveiy faniiiv. The stones are by the most distin- 
guished riuihors. Its sketches are lull of life and vigor,— its 
editorials brilliant.— its illustrations the best in the country, 
and lis reading matter so varied and interesting, that the 
paper is pronounced by all who have examined it, as the 
handsomest and best family paper extant. 
In No. 24, to be issued April 4th, we shall commence the 
publication of the best Indian story— without exception— 
that has ever appeared in America. "We have procured the 
exclusive right of publishing it at. an immense expense— and 
the readers of the riRHMHF COMPANION will agree with 
us as to what, we have said of it. 
That the public may have an inkling of the story, we give 
a few extracts below. 
" What's the matter, Tom Bruce?" said the father, eyeing 
him with surprise. 
"Matter enough," responded the younc: giant, with a grin 
of mingled awe and delight; "the Jibbenainosay is up 
" Wliar?" cried the Senior eagerly,— "not in our limits ?" 
" No, bv .Tehosbapbat !" replied Tom; "but nigh enough 
to he neighborly,— on the nonh hank of Kpnlnck. whar ha 
has left his mark right in the middle of the road, as fresh as 
though it war but the work of the morning !" 
" And a clear mark. Tom?— no mistake in it ?" 
"Right to an iota!" said the young man; "a reggclar 
cross on the breast, and a good tomahawk dig right through 
ihe skull ; and a long-legg'd fellow too, that looked as though 
he might have fou't old Snttan himself!" 
"It's the Jibbenainosav. sure enough ; and so good luck to 
him," cried the commander; " ihar's a harrieane coming!" 
" Who is tlie Jihlienamosav ?" demanded Forrester. 
"Who?" cried Tom Bruce; "Why, Nick— Nick of the 
Woods." 
" And who, if vou please, is Nick of the Woods?" 
"Thar," replied the Junior, with another grin, "thar, 
stranger, vou're too hard for me. Some think one thing, 
and some another ; but that's many reckon he's the devil." 
"And his mark, that vou were talking of in such mysteri- 
ous terms,— what is that?" 
" Why, a dead Injun, to be sure, with Nick's mark on him. 
—a knife-cut, or a brace of 'em, over the ribs in the shape of 
a cross. That's the way the Jibbenainosav marks all the 
meat ot bis killing. It has been a whole year now, since we 
h'ard of him." 
"Captain," said the elder Bruce, "von don't seem to un- 
derstaml tin- atl'a'r altogether; but if von were to ask Tom 
about the Jibbenainosav till doomsday, lie could tell you no 
more than be has told already. You must know, thar's a 
creatur' of some sort or other, that ranges the wood round 
a btmt our station h'var, keeping a so it of guard over us like, 
and killing all the brute Injuns that ar' oh lucky enough to 
come in ids way, besides scalping them, and marking them 
with his mark. The Injuns call him Jihhpnainmay, or a 
word of that natur*, which them that knows more about 
the Injun gabble than I do, say means the .spirit-tfiaMculk-% 
and if I can believe any such lying devils as Injuns, he is 
neither man nor beast, but. a great ghost or devil, that knife 
cannot harm, nor bullet touch." 
"But," continued the Colonel, turning to his son, " who 
brought this news, Tom?" 
" i aptain Ralph,— Roaring Ralph Stackpole." replied Tom 
Bruce, with a knowing and humorous look. 
" What !" cried the father in sudden alarm : " Look to the 
horses, Torn." 
By this time they were nearing the company, where Ralph 
was amusing the young men with the restlessness and grace 
of a jumping Jack. 
As soon as he saw the commander of the station approach- 
ing, he cleared the throng around him by a skip and a hop. 
seized the Colonel by the hand, and doing the same with the 
soldier, before Roland could roped him, as he would have 
done, exclaimed: "Glad to see yon. Cunnei ; — same to vou. 
Stranger- What's tlie news from Virginnic y Stranger, my 
name's Ralph Stackpole, and I'm a ring-tailed squealer!" 
"TllP.n. Mr. Ralph Stackpole. the ring-tailed squealer," said 
Rid and, disengaging his hand, "be so good as to pursue your 
business, wiihont regarding or taking any notice of me.'* 
"Tarnal death to me !" cried the Captain of Horse-thieves, 
indignant at the rebuff, " I'm a gentleman, and mv name U 
Fight! Foot and hand, tooth and nail, claw and mad- 
scraper, knife, gun. and tomahawk, or anv other way vou 
Choose to take inc. I'm your man ! Cock-a-doodle-do.' f See- 
ing that the company enjoyed the scene, he continued. 
'■Whar's your buffalo-bull io cross horns with ihe roarer of 
sad River? Whar's vour t nil-blood colt, that can shake a sad- 
dle oil'? h'vai's an old nag can kick off the top a buck-eve ! 
Whar's vour cat. of the Knobs? Your wolf of the Rolling 
Prairies? b'yar's the old brown b'arcan chaw the bark oft' a 
gum-tree! H'vai's a man for you. Tom Bruce! Same to 
von, Sim Roberts! to vou, Jiirnn v Rignose ! to you, and to 
vmi, and to vou ! Ar'nt 1 a ring-tailed sqnealt-r? Can go 
"down Salt on inv back, and -win, up the Ohio! Whar's the 
man to tight roaring [Jalph S.'ackpole?" 
" If you're raleh- ripe for a light. Roaring Ralph," cried 
Tom Bruce the younger, " here comes the very man for vou. 
Look, boys, thar' comes Bloody Nathai '" 
Cock-a-doodle-doo !" 
This wonderful storv will he commenced in No. 24 of the 
Fireside Companion, to be issued April 4th.
