A Love " LETTER."...." Jane, what fetter in the alphabet
do you like best ?" " Well, I don't like to say, Mr. Snubbs.”
" Pooh, nonsense ! tell right out; Jane, which do you like
best." " Well (blushing and dropping her eyes), I like u
the best."

RETRIBUTIVE JUSTICE OF THE INDIAN.—An event took
place at Prairie du Chien, last week, which strongly marks
the savage character. Two Indians, of the Winnebago nation
quarrelled, upon which one stabbed the other to the heart ;
he attempted to escape, but was overtaken, brought back,
and placed upon the body of the dead Indian, by the relatives
of the latter. Several gentlemen ihterfered in behalf of the
captive, and requested that he might be allowed to go, be-
cause he was not so much in fault as the other. They were
answered, that, if " white men" would
,pay fifteen dollars to
the mother of the deceased, he might go otherwise he must
die. This condition not being complied with, he was doomed.
During this negociation the savage sat upon the body of his
foe, smoking his pipe, perfectly indifferent as to the issue, and
when told that he must die, he deliberately removed his pipe,
giving the usual " Ugh !" His executioner then stepped be-
hind him, and with a single blow of the hatchet severed the
right arm at the shoulder ; upon this the Indian resumed his
pipe, and began to smoke as if nothing had happened ; in a
short time the executioner, with a blow severed the left arm.
The Indian still retained his upright position, not a muscle
of his face changing ; a third blow across the small of the
back, brought him to the ground; even then his countenance
wore the same cold, serene, and stoic expression. He was
however, soon cut in pieces by the relatives of the dead man.
The savage made almost superhuman efforts to escape, but
the moment his pursuers touched him, he surrendered and
walked back, and seated himself upon the dead body, without
once attempting to escape. This was an instance of Indian
retribution and savage fortitude.—Debuque (owa) Express.
