IMPORTANT.—TO THE LADIES.
(From Punch.)
The great success which the " Strong Wind" has met
with in the lottery ofwedloek, has induced his companions
in arms and paint—the Ojibbeway Indians—to advertise
for English wives; and as the said Indians are very
shortly about to ierve the country, early applications
on the part of the ladies are desirable. The Indians
have already at least one wire, but they promise, even as
" Strong Wind" promised, to remain constant to their
new helpmates; a promise which, upon their return to
the back woods, they will doubtless most honourably
perfurm. We subjoin the advertisements No. 1.

" An-ouE-wE-zaNrrs—the Boy. Chief. The 'adver-
tiseris in his seventy-fifth year, and shall be happy to
form a matrimonial engagement with any English lady
of known property. The Boy Chief, in his admiration of
the martial character of England, will have no objection
to the widow, of a general officer, if under forty. Her
property must not be secured upon herself. She must
know.how to cure bear's flesh, to hoe, and rake, and
dig, and reap. She must also be able to skin rabbits,
and clean pipes. Principals only treated with. Apply
from tea-to twelve.

"N.8.--The squaw must have been vaccinated.
No. 11.
" PA..TAN-NA-WET-A- WER-DE—the Driving Cloud.
The advertiser is the War Chief, aged 51, of a remarkably
placable and humourous disposition. He has no objection
to treat with a young English lady, and he will, on a mar-
riage settlement, secure to her nis scalps. The lady must
have been tenderly and affectionately brought up, as she
will have to carry the wigwam poles of the Driving Cloud
upon all journeys. She must bring:a sufficient income to
keep her husband in tobacco, rum, and laziness. English
securities preferred: no holders of Pennsylvanian bowls
will bo treated with."

No. 111.
" WE-NISH-KA-WEA-BE.—Flying Gull and Hereditary
Chief, is open to the offers of the ladies of England.
Having inherited his dignity, not won it by any deeds or
virtues of his own, advertisers are confidently referred to
the Ojibbeway Peerage, 4to. The birth of the Flying
Gull will not allow him to treat with anybody below a
Baronet's daughter."
GISHrE-GOSR-E•GHEE, the Moonlight Night, and
SAIL-NA, Tobacco, in the same unblushing manner, also
forwarded their advertisements ; but as Punch discovered
them both to be married men, with their wives here with
them, he, with his known devotion to the proprieties,
has, of course, refused to insert any such invitations to
the connubial state.
